rather poor character. The top OF ! box
about three feet in length was made 10 an

have rats, which tic duSky exhibitor undcr>
stood and took advantage Of. The box OF
course was their nest ard feeding place, at
one end of which was hole. as much like Il
rat hole as it was possible 10 make one. The

one in his mouth, selected from the box by
their smell, each one bling subjected TO 4
nasal examination, which vas the only way
he had of distinguishing Gen. Grant from
Gen. Lee and so on, placed them on the box
at the further end from the hole and giving

with grace AID case. But we cannot Gnu
ncra;c everything seen or uGnc at the Schut-

moving to the grounds, and before night
