The London Times correspondent in
Paris says November 14): "When, this
morning, met friend on the Boulevards,
just about breakfast time, who asked me to
come with him to Halls, as he had there
ordered rats, instead of at once running
away, or, perhaps, trying to knock him
down, l agreed to 60 and just look at them.
They looked very good, served up in 9
saint, with gravy and toast, and my friend
pronounced them excellent; and SO did
eat, or rather taste, and am obliged to con-
fess that should have no objection to re-
peat the experiment tomorrow. The flesh
was white and very delicate, like young
rabbit, but with more flavor. We curious
ly inspected the bill, to see whether the
proprietor of the restaurant would venture
to give the dish its real name, but there
was only significant blank space, and
then If Soc. On being demonstrated with

the word rat being quite impossible. AS
there are two rats in the salnai, each cost
about 3D., but bought wholesale q am told
that they are now exhibited publicly in
some of the shops, and cooked at honey
they would, perhaps, be cheap eating,
even in time of siege; only, unluckily, the
poor people, who want them most, would
be the last to consent to touch them"

Faith Well Founded.

In old times, at the commencement Of every sea
son. 1t was the fashion to take . strong eathartis
as q safeguard against change Of temperature. II
was worse than senseless practice. The people
Of our day understand the matter better. Instead
Of depicting the system they reinforce It, In tho
method they adopt they exhibit wise diserimina-
ton. Instead of resorting to the vitiated stimu.
lants OF commerce, or any Of the compounds de-
rived from them, they put their faith in the only
absolutely pure invigorant procurable In the mar
ket-Hoetetter's Stomach Btters. Their faith b
well founded. Never has any tonic medicine been
prepared with such scrupuious precision and con
scicntious care. It is q vegetable compound Of
which every Ingredient is sound, wholesome, and
medicinal in the true sense OF the word. Vow. We
have three prominent national complaints. One
half Of the population Of the United States suffer
more or less, either from diseases Of the stomach
arrangements Of the liver, or affections of the kid
neys. In no other land under Heaven are these
malades SO general as in this country, and Hos
letters Btters is specific for them all, unless
organic in their origin, and, therefore, beyond
cure. And let those who are fortunate enough 70
be exempt from them at present understand one
great fact viz that an occasional use OF this vital
fzing tonic will as certainly prevent them as the
sun will prevent the earth from freezing where it,
genial beams descend.
