AMUSING EXPERIMENT ON RATS
Anamusing experiment on rats was re-
Gently perpetrated In q mercantile house
In Petersburg, Va. Two of these ami
mai had been trapped, and it was deci-
ded to try the effect of whiskey upon
then. Forty drops were administered
to them by force, and the result awaited.
They were placed in q wide, deep box,
into which some gravel had been
thrown. A saucer of whiskey was
placid therein. For while all was 81
lent, each rat having seated himself in a
corner where he remained as morose rs a
mtcould be. BY and'by, however, the
liquor began to work. The rats began
to smile and play with their tails; then
jump and squeak; then to fall down and
rol over. Finally one of them found
the saucer, and with the peculiar curl
oaty attached to the race dipped his
head into It. He drank and the noise of
his drinking brought his companion to
his side. They drank as II they were
really fond Of the stuff, and, 1t is estima-
ted, took more than twice forty drops
And nov they got glorious. They kiss
ed each other. They revisited the sau-
Ger, and got about mad over 1t; and .
rough and tumble fight ensued, which
lasted until both were exhausted. Then
they remained for > while, each with .
paw to his Dose, grinning 1t each other.
Finally bo1h I'll asleep, and while they
wers glos1G1ly Unconscious, terrier
was drop1 hssors them and they were

"Hark, from the Toombsi"
1t Is not often we are permitted to be
present while "a Southern gentleman
at his ease plays to the life the part of
Bobadil. send you an extract from
letter of an eminently gifted lady, which
shows us Robert Toombs, thirteen
years United States Senator from Geor-
gia," surrounded by English sympathi-
zers in Havana, at home.
This letter was designed for my fami-
ly circle; but have been urged to give
1t to your readers, to whom this brave
general Of the rebel Confederacy is not u
stranger, and many will remember the
commendation he won on the field, at
the famous battle OF Malvern Hills, from
Gen. Hill, who said "Gen. Toombs was
too late In bringing his brigade into
ton, and too soon in getting 1t out;' an
epigram he never lives a day without
remembering with rage.
In this extract / have made no change
Of word. There Is one sentence to
which beg to call the attention Of your
readers. Mr. Toombs says, 1.-THE giant is
not strangled yet" Doubtless this SEN
timent glows in the hearts of rebels who
now say, 1--WE will do by the ballot
what we have not done by the bullet"
They feel that united South may yet
accomplish by policy what they have
failed to do by force; and the hope and
purpose Is burning bright that the rebel
States shall yet be q power on the globe,
whose corner stone shall be negro sla-
very, upheld by the African slave-trade:

remarks which each one adds are ex-
pressiOns Of the most tender affection and

years under his command, and would

A PAPER EATER.--A young lady Of
this city, says the indianapolis Sentinel,
while Mt school, contracted bad habit
which she now finds 1t impossible to
break of--that Of chewing paper. Her
parents buy it for her by the ream, and
she consumes on an average quire per
week, rolling her paper ball under her
tongue as sweet morsel, and squirting
the saliva about like an old salt. She is
quite q connoisseur in the matter of pa
per, and evinces decided preference for
q certain pale blue unruled foolscap,
which smells badly. Deprived Of her
paper for day or two, she becomes
restless, distrait and melancholy, refuses
to eat or be comforted, and is not herself
till fresh supply is procured. "How Is
Miss -" we inquired Of . female
friend the other day. mot WELL" was
the reply, "her paper doesn't agree with
her."
We have heard Of opium eating, snuff
eating, arsenic eating, and pencil eating,
among the female fraternity, but we
believe that this is the first instance Of
paper eating that has come under our
knowledge. If the young lady knew
how paper Is made, we think she would
make an extraordinary effort to break
of the pernicious habit.

(of course he was an old bachelor, or he
would not have been 80 crotchety and
crusty) had, for the frst time, observed
that there was no glass there, and his
inability to shave without one, was "in
