SINGULAR PASSION IN A CHLD.-There
is boy of ten years, whose parents re
side in the Twelfth Ward of this city,
who has a propensity for hunting rats,
not TO destroy them, but to secure their
tails as trophies of his prowess in that
way He is very expert and has brought
in as many as three tails day. When
he gets no more than one, he thinks that
is not much of a day for rats. He ex
hibits these appendages of the rat, drip
ping with blood, with as much delight as
an Indian would display the reeking
scalps of his victims. 1t is strange that
this child can be so successful and yet
avoid being bitten by the ferocious little
creatures which appear to have great at
tacbment for their tails He appears to
understand their habits and manages to
allure them into his youthful clutches.
He selects hole in the floor OF a stable
and places grain near by IN such posi-
ton that the rat must come up to get It,
The animal no sooner mounts the floor
than the boy seizes the tail and sewers It
from the body with single stroke OF his
knife. The bereaved rat retreats to his
hiding place squealing with pain anc
fright, much to the delight of the cause
OF the mischief, who patiently waits for
the coming of the next rat in turn. A
rat without tail has never yet appear
cd to this young chap. All such flee to
parts unknown. 1t may be that they
are not tolerated in good rat society Of.
ter losing member of which rats are
supposed to be proud. Those who are
quite familiar with the operations Of this
rat despoiler say that he soon clears The
premises where he operates. The ta;1lesS
rats probably warn their brothers and
sisters of the danger, and they flsa n
other places. So expert has this little
fellow become in handling rats that one
rarely escapes his knife if he gets into
full view, and he has never vet been bit
ten. His propensity and skill in this line
may be some day turned to profitable
aocount.-Rockester Union and Democat.

BE MoDERATE.--In the present season,
when cholera and other diseases threaten
all classes, there can be no better advice
given to our readers than to be moderate
IN their habits and avoid all excuses
An observance of this simple rule is of
more benefit as protection against dis
ease than any amount Of medical advice
or doctors prescriptions. Many fatal
cases of disease that have lately occur
red among we'll TODD business men, with
every social comfort at command, have
no doubt been owing to the fact that
they were too free in their style of living,
luordinate indulgence of any kind
makes the body prey to disease. and
there never was more appropriate time
than the present to practice moderation
IN everything relating to diet.

The BOUNTY ACT,-Already our attor-
neys and soldiers claim agents are pre-
pairing to collect the bounty lately voted
to the soldiers. This section of country
is flooded with circulars of different
parties, who promise to attend to this
business for a slight compensation. Sol
diers will do we'll to see to it that they
are not swindled i'll this matter by I'M
principled men. Those who sold their
discharges for a mere triae will now feel
Sold but not quite so badly as those who
Fought them, expecting to make mice
thing" out of them. All such discharges
are worth simply nothing. BY the pro-
visions of the act of Congress, any man
who has disposed of his discharge is de.
prived of all the benefits of the act, and
the man who bought them is a loser to
the amount which he paid for them.

Gus repast had been provided by lady
friends All did ample justice to the

welcome and kind reception, &c, and
their speakers were loud in their praises
Of the fair ladies who had by their pres,
snce added so much to their pleasure
The "Hunkidori" boys accepted the ball,
and the thanks of their friends of tire

Foor RACE.-Quite an excitement
was raised in Bellair yesterday by a
1901 race between white man and a
coioieo man. The men ran twice, but
tied each other both times. Conse-
quently' the ten dollars at stake was
neither lost nor won, and the parties
had their warm amusement w;tbnr+ No
cuniary advantage, but consn,aS ~ p
selves with the fact that thew had n,o3,
some excitement, obtained a Gttla ~"
toriety, and afforded some fun to the
spectators.
Another teot race is to come off at
GAINESVILLE, this week. We suppose
Wilkes Spirit will send on a special cor
respondent to report the result.

QUEER REvENGE.-A few days ago a
young lady in one of our Western cities
imagined that she had been improperly
treated by one of her sisters. She then
determined to have her revenge. Pro
curing stick of nitrate of silver at a
drug store, she dissolved it in her sisters
wash pitcher The young lady perform
ed her morning ablutions and was hor-
Hfed to find that her hands had turned
as brown as those of a mulatto' A look
at the glass revealed the alarming fact
that her face was the same color. The
young sister now heartily repents her
criminal folly and would do any thing in
the world to remedy tie evil she has
caused Time only can efface the marks
of the terrible bath, and in the mean
time the affair is being kept quiet.
Callers are told that the young lady is
illof a contagious disease, and she keeps
her room, impatiently awaiting the
tedious process of growing white again.

Club of this city. The first nine of each

artunately heavy rain set in before the
fifth inning was concluded, which obi.
ced the contestants to cease their sport.
Il will be observed that the Washingto-
mans are much ahead of our city boys,
Int when it is remembered that the
Union Club has been organized for four
or FIVE months, while the Hunkidori has
been organized but one month, all must
agree that the members of the latter
CAB did very well. Below we give the
result of the game as far as played:
