A KNOTT Y UEsTION.-Whcn not other |
wise engaged, industrious little Bob Crab !
tree employs himself catching rats for a |
large grocery firA in this city at % cents |
per rat. Bob has a number OF traps, visits |
them three or four times day, and is quite |
successful I'm his operations. On Tuesday |
morning Bob caught among others very |
Young rat. not halt grown, and his emrloy- |
er objected to paying full price for it on the |
grounds that it was not q rat until fully |
grown. Bob conteuded that a rat was a /
rat anyhow you could fix it, end that age |
and size made no difference in the fact.
Employer replied that half grown rat was |
no more a rat than pig was hog, or /
colt was a horse, and that when a man paid |
so much for horse or a hog, or 4 rat, that /
he could not be forced TO take instead a colt /
or a pig OF u half grown rat. Bob rcjoined |
that there were different names for the /
Young and Old OF almost all other animals |
except the genius mus, and rs there was |
no distinctive name for young rat; there |
fore the name rat included all ages and |
sizes of rats, and hence, claimed fun |

will likely land in the Supreme Court be- |
fore a final decision is obtained.
SUBLIME Occasionally one OF

cruciating modesty, show can an honest |
Southern man support Grcolcy:' They
remind us of that exceedingly reasonable !
Juror who insisted that he was associated
with eleven Of the stubbOrncst men in the
world because they would not agree with
him. Now we submit to these gentlemen,
in all kindness, lift is not just little pre-
sumptuous for them to assume all the homes |
ty in the South: Wouldn't it be sad Specta- |
Gle for the contemplation Of philanthropists |
if these few Bourbon gentlemen embodied
all the integrity in the Southern Statesi 1t
may be all wrong that the mountain Of |
public opinian wont go to your Mah0mmet; !
but so it is; and q great majority Of South
ern men, Just as sensible, honest, and true
as YOU are, stand with the mountain. Come
gentlemen of he Bourbon school, stop
ranting about principles that few ofyeu I'M

peacock whose chief merit is not in his
head, and learn to respect the opinions and
the integrity of your fellow citizens, 4 ma
jority Of whom are at least your equals.
How PRoFoUND.-The Brown sviIIe
States is the very embodiment Of railroa Il
wisdom. Its high merit in this regard rests
upon its advocacy Of a narrow guagc rail-
road from Durhamville via Brownsville to
Denmark. 1t may, and justly, be said that
the road has neither beginning or ending
that money sufficient has not nor cannot
be raised to even grade It-that If graded
no sane capitalist would advance the money
to iron and equip it-that even if all this
was done it would not pay running ex-
pense-that If every bale of cotton or
pound of produce raised within i've miles
OF its termini were shipped over it, which
assumption is not respectable nonsense"
even then it would not pay the actual cost
OF operation-that, in short, the whole
scheme does not rise to the poor dignity of
decent humbug-yet in spite of all this,
yea in its very absurdity and unique Don
QuixOttism, is the profHndity Of the States
made apparent. a sharp fellow that States.
