INCREASE OF RATS.--The Frrper's
Gazette (English) asserts and proves by figures
that one pair of RATS will have progeny
and descendants no less than 65l $50 in three
years. Now, unless this immense family can
be kept down. they would consume more food
than would $1,000 human beings.

has certainly ''given aid, comfort,

Henry Clay Dean as a Preacher.

Henry Clay Dean, while q preacher, had
very strong objections to the custom Of the
nom bers of his congregation of looking
around when any one entered the church.
Being worried one afternoon by this turn
ing practice in his congregation, Mr.. Dean
stopped In his sermon, and said
NOW listen to me, and I'll tell you who
the people are as they come in"
He then went on with his discourse until q
gentleman entered, when he bawled cut like
an usher: ----.~
deacon A, who keeps a chop over the
way" and then went on with his sermon.
Presently another man passed up the aisle
and he gave his name, residence and occupa
ton, and go he continued for some time.
At length some one entered the door whG
was unknown to Mr.. Dean, when he cried
out .-s
"A little old man with drab coat and ar
old white hat. Don't know him; look fol
yourselves" 80
The congregation was cured.

see their good. consigned to companies which
are distinct only in name, which play into each
others hands and mutually second and sustain
each others exactions, and whose exorbitance
having no limits in any sense Of justice, II msee
urcd only by their ability to extort from helplo6s
victims. Having thoroughly consolidated thor
monopoly, they now deem it omnipotent and
eternal. They consider the business men Of The
country as at their mercy, and think 30 meanly
of them as to suppose that they have no spirk TO
resent long standing injury TO which is now
added gross insult. But their weakness is shown
IN the very means OF seit-protecton which they
adopt. Instead of reducing their rates uniform.
ly, as manly competitor would, they propose to
reduce them only when they are obliged to, NOT
in any spirit of concession, bat of hostility to-
wards those who have enriched them They ex-
pect to drive cheap rates out of the market, and
to fix their own high rates all the more securely.
We trust and believe that they will prove to
have mistaken the nature of the business with
which they are tampering, and the temper OF the
men with whom they hassto deal. We do not
believe that their competition Son the lines open
ed by the Merchants Union will be ''ruinous'
to any body but themselves. Instead of tn ole
companies making up for their losses by large
rates on other routes, we expect to see the Mer
chants Union extending rapidly to those routes
and maintaining itself there. Certainly the bust
ness men of the country have it in their powe
to accomplish this. Certainly it is for their in
tsrest that it be accomplished.
Let our merchants and BUSINESS men, here il
this centre of distribution, sustain the new or
| ganization. They may as we'll (if need be) sac
rifce little to do SO, to continue to eacrihc
| their thousands every day to the old companies
| Let them maintain their "Union," and let tn
old companies expend little of their extortior
| ate gains in 6oinga legitimate and honest bus
ness. In the face of such disgraoeful policy o
| that above announced, it is difficult to emplo
| terms of moderation. Does Mr.. Kip suppos
| that he has the law on his side, when he direct
employees not to receive or deliver any expres
matter which his passed through the lands {
the new company, and been consigned t. them
We do not understand the duty of public ca
| rers, and we have no doubt that there will be
disposition and an ability manifested to test b

A very remarkable article. from the Chi.

ing some suggestions in regard to the future
OF the democratic party. We comm end the
article to the thoughtful ecnsiderationSof our
readers, believing that it i. of the highest
importance to the country that the negro
question be speedily settled and forever put
20 rest. 1t is unqusstionably true that intel
ligsnee and not color should be the qualiica-
tion, for voting Tho only question is-what
shall be the standard of intelligence? In
Connecticut it is to be able to read and write.
Il is also true that it was the democratic par
ty which established negro suffrage in New
York, and that Marin Van Buren, was prssi
deaf of the convention which framed the con
ssitution.s <
1t was also the democratic party which
made the negro a citizen, in Maine, New
Hampshire and Observation-Disclosures demo
crats having e..msjority and the controlling
power in all those states when it was dons.
But, for the present, We refer our readers
to the article, and ask them TO eive the sub
ssject careful consideration.
