How TO GET RID OF RATs.-The Prai-
RTE Farmer furnishes this remedy, which
looks very much as if it would do its work ::
IS The best method we have ever tried for
killing rats is to poison them by means Of
phosphorus Dissolve half an ounce of
phosphorus in two quarts Of hot water
and stir in sufficient Indian meal to make
paste the consistency of chicken dough.
If the phosphorus takes fire in stirring,
add more water. Add 70 this butter or
lard and sugar; enough of each to make it
a palatable mess, and place it in small
quantities on pieces Of board or shingles
where the rats will have access to It,
Hens must be shut up while you are feed
ing the rats on this food, and the phos-
phorus should be dissolved out Of doors,
and great care be taken with the ex-
pertinent, as the substance IS very inham-
mable unless diluted as in this paste.
Prepared as spoken Of, it is slightly lumi-
nous and will attract the rats at night and
they will eat it readily"

A COMET SENsArIoS.-Paragraphs SIM
liar to the following are going the rounds
of the press
For more than ten years past, scienti-
fc men of the world have told US that dur
ing the months of July, August. and Sep
TENDER, this year, the most wonderful CON-
ct the world has ever known would reap
pear also, that 1t would approach nearer
the earth than any comet ever before /;
that either the comet or the planet where
on we live would have to change its course
or a collision would be inevitable. This
comet is several times larger than our
earth. According to astronomers, it is
the same one that preceded the wars Of
Greece, and was followed by terrible con-
tagion in Persia. Several years after it
re-appeared, and was preceded by most
terrible war with Rome, and piled the
dead in the streets of the Eternal City.
until there were not enough left living to
bury the dead. This same comet is pay
ing its respects 90 our sphere again. 1t
may be seen by the naked eye on any clear
night in the northern part Of the heavens,
at from IL to II o'clock. and from that
time to daylight. 1t will grow brighter
and brighter as it approaches the earth"
How far there is any truth in these
statements we proceed to show:
l. No such prediction has ever been
made by any scientific man, so far as
known. The story was originated in a
quarter which no astronomer regards as
trustworthy.
2. No such comet appeared during the
month of July. nor, thus far, during the
month of August.
4. There is no comet visible as describ-
ed the only wanderer now seen in that
quarter is the planet Jupiter, who, al
though he has been held responsible for
the performance of many strange freaks
among the comets, is far from being hair
like" himself.
And, finally, though we do not mean to
say that comet, hitherto unknown, may
not now be approaching the earth, certain
ly none that has hitherto appeared, and
whose return is matter of accurate cal
culatiou, as nearing. But we 90 not know
of any report from any scientific quarter
that any such celestial body is visible any
where. Therefore, if any credulous per-
sons have been made unhappy by these
portents dire of plaques, and desolating
wars, and crash Of worlds. they may dismiss
their fears and be legitimately and safely
miserable about the Chicago

CIRCUS RIDER vs.. CIRCUITRIDER
The thing is hardly worth it, but some

because the opportunity is fare one.
Master Phineas Scruggs, ladies and
gentlemen, will now make his appear.
auce. to the amazement and delight OF
the public, in one of his celebrated feats.
This young gentleman can at single
glance be seen riding two horses at once
one a Democratic white charger, the other
a Black Republican mustang flly. we
can't say the gentleman rides gracefully,
but can assure our friends that he is not
afraid to ride any mans horse that shall
be brought out for exhibition. This as
hiring gentleman, who was never known
to run for an office, save at the earnest
solicitation Of numerous friends, will
probably be candidate for the Conven-
ton; but as to the platform he will stand
on we cannot inform our readers, as
his letter never said" The letter re-
ferred to was published in this mornings
Avalanche, and judging from that alone
we rather presume he has leaning tow
ard our cotem porary' g new party. But it's
mn to the present good hour matter OF
impossibility for US to devise what our
friend Phineas intends doing, or in other
words, what he will stand on. He says
ss an original proposition. that he Ia OPP
posed to negro suffrage, but as it is now
vested right, why, he and the people will
submit to it. Will he declare whether
he shall favor the proposition or oppose
it, when submitted by the convention to

sure to incorporate such a thing into our
State Constitution These are the ques-
lions for solution, and there shall be no
