A Rat story.

The New Orleans Picayune says: We
remember being told, last fall, while 10 Ken
lucky, remarkable rat story in connection
with prediction, by I" one of the oldest IN
habltants," that this would prove one of the
severest and most inclement winters that we
have bad for many years. The story was,
that, in October last, it was discovered that
an immense army Of rats, consisting of over
forty thousand, had crossed the Ohio river
from the States of Indiana and Ohio to Ken
lucky, and making forced marches in a
southerly direction An old hunter of Ken
lucky stated that he had not known Of such
an occurrence since 1885, which proved one
of the hardest winters throughout the coun-
try that had been known for years previous,
and he predicted that this winter would be
one of great severity.
1t seems that this army of rats was we'll
organized oficered and disciplined. having
a commanding general with subordinate
officers, and that they threw out their pickets
and sent off their scouts in quest OF forage
determining as they travelled to quarter on
the enemy, for they marched without bag
gage nr a supply train. II being reported
at headquarters that the scouts had discov
cred large, wellstoeked barn ahead. orders
were at once given to advance in line Of
battle upon the enemy, marching by two
columns of attack They succeeded in
effecting surprise before daylight, having
gained the enemy's outer works before they
were discovered, and by strong force of
sappers and miners absolutely succeeded
in raising several planks of the floor of the
barn. The work of destruction ttat imme-
diately followed was inconceivable. The
owner of the barn having rallied his neigh
bors in all directions, they proceeded to
advance on this immensely superior force
with double barreled shatguns, hanked by a
i4eavy cavalry force of dogs, when a severe
conflict ensued. The rats were terribly
routed and fed in great confusion. leaving
some fifteen hundred dead upon the field.
after an engagement Of hardly two hours.
This is the largeSt rat story that we ever
remember to have heard, and only give it To
our readers because il has confirmed in part
the prediction connected with it. and which
in some measure supports the story.
Whether this accounts also for the unpre-
cedented number of rats which are reported
to have visited Louisiana this winter, we
will not say; but certain it is that if these
rats have come to Louisiana for it's genial
sunny cline, they have been nightly fooled
in finding in its stead an arctic region, and
not an Araratl

ELECTRICITY AS A Motive PowER-James
G. Duncan, of Placer county, claims TO have
invented an electric engine which works
admirably, running fast or SLOW backward or
forward, with great or limited power at
will, and under perfect control. Estimating .
from the model. now working, he saws he
can make fifty horse power machine which
would occupy ne more than six or eight feet
hoor surface, and the cost OF Running it would
not exceed twenty five cents per day, for
acids to supply tie battery. He thinks, and
truly, if all he says be true, that his inven-
tlOn would save some of our great mining
companies hundred thousand dollars year
in fuel. That electricity will be put to u,e
as a motive power we have no doubt it s
one of the items in the inevitable progress
discovery. If Mr. Duncan has succeeded n

Morse bridled for service as newscarrier so

COURAGE REQrIREB.-The following elo-
quent passage is from late speech of
Thaddeus Stevens:
There are perinds in the history of nations
when statesmen can make themselves names
for posterity; but such occasions are never
improved by towards In the acquisition #
erue fame courage is just necessary in the
civilian as in the military hero. In the
Reformation there were men engaged as
able, and perhaps more learned than Martin
Luther. Melancthon and others were ripe
scholars and sincere reformers. but none of
them had Luther's courage. He alone was
willing to 20 where duty called, though
devils were as thick as the tiles on the
houses" AID Luther is the great lumina-y
of the Reformation, around whom the others
revolve as satellites and shine only by his
light. We may not aspire to fame But
great events fix the eyes of history on small
objects and magnify their meanuess Let
us, at least, escape that condition.
