Anecdotes of the war, illustrating
the heroic element in the American
character, are constantly coming to
the surface, but it is rarely one reads
of greater daring than in the incident
related few days ago by Governor
Letcher, of Virginia. He said that
in one of the battles below Richmond
four hag-bearers had been shot
down, and call was made for n
volunteer to carry the colors. A
STRIPPING took the torn standard. In
O few minutes the staff was snapped
by shot. The boy sat down, un7
loosed shoestring, and tied it. II
was then fastened by the other shoe
string. He had hardly shook the
folds second time when down went
the flag, struck by ssball. The shoe
strings had given out. he unbntton-
ed his jacket, ripped his shirt to rib
bons, and wrapped the broken rod,
and carried the tattered ensign
through the fight. Governor fletcher
said "When they brought me the
boy with the tattered staff, patched
up with shoestrings and shirt, l made
him an officer, and gave him the best
sword Virginia J bad" The gallant
fellow was from Monroe county. He
was killed in battle.

held q mass meeting recently, at
which about six thousand persons
were present. The sentiment of the
gathering was indicated by the follow
ingutterance Of one Of the speakers: :.
"We intend that political tricksters
shall not make up the slate entire for
us. We will say to the Democrats,
if they are in power in our county or
State, 'Give us good representative
men, who will look we'll to our in
terests, or we will not vote for them.
So we will say to Republicans if they
are in power. II they do not ponder
these things we'll in their hearts now,
they will after the next election. We
would not close the door of Office
against an honorable profession or
calling of life. We do not ask to
fill the Offices ourselves as class, -
There are good and pure men Of the
different vocations, and we are de-
termined TO have them to the front. I"

Art Among the Birds.

The best evidence, says Mr.. Darwin,
by the three genera of Australian bow
er-birds. y Their bowers where
the sexes congregate and play antics (at
all stranger than our waltzes and quad
rillesO are differently constructed; but
what most concerns US is, that they are
decorated in different manner by the
different species. The satin bower-bird
collects gay colored articles, such as the
blue tail feathers of the paroquets,
bleached bones and shells, which it
sticks between the twigs, or arranges at
the entrance. Mr.. Gould found in one
bower a neatly-worked tomahawk and
slip of blue cotton, evidently procur-
ed from native encampment. The OBJ
jects are continually rearranged and car
ried about by the birds while at play
The bower of the spotted bower bird is
beautifully lined with tall grasses, so
disposed that the heads nearly meet,
and the decorations are very profuse
Round stones are used to keep the grass
stems in their proper places, and to
make divergent paths leading to the
bower. The stones and shells are often
brought from a great distance. The
regent bird, as described by Mr.. Ram
say, ornaments its short bower with
bleached land-shells belonging to five or
six species, and with berries of various
colors, blue, red, and black, which gives
it, very pretty appearance. Besides
these, there were several newly picked
leaves and shoots of pinkish color, the
whole showing decided taste for the
beautiful. Well may Mr.. Gould say,
These highly decorated halls ofassembly
must be regarded as the most wonderful
instances of bird architecture yet dis
covered and the taste, we see of the
several species certainly differs.

How to Fool Rats.

Let us take the case Of house badly
infested with rats, says the Rural NeD
Yorker. How shall VIC get rid of them?
OF course, if they come from some pub
lie sewer or other colony, the supply is
probably unlimited, and the first thing
must be TO cut off the access of all out
siders. But if we are troubled by none
but natives, it will not require much
skill to capture every one of them-old,
cunning fellows and all. In the first
place, then, we must resolve to take time
to it and capture the whole lot, and to
this end no attempt must be made to
capture single animals, since this will
tend to make them suspicious and will
put the old ones on their guard. Then
provide large box or barrel; place in
it a quantity Of old carpet, brush, &c,
and also some food, such as meal, cheese,
herring, &C. Bore a two-inch hole in
the side Of the box, and leave it for some
days. The rats will soon find it out and
frequent it. First young one will go in
and have a good feed and come out all
right; the old ones, seeing that he is not
hurt, they, too, will go in, and in a short
time every rat about the premises will
frequent it. When this occurs, see that
it is well supplied with food and arrange
over the hole block having a cores
ponding aperture cut in it but having
also a series Of wires stuck around hole
and pointing inwards, just as they are
arranged in the common wire traps.
Every rat will go in as before and not
one can get out. Various methods may
be adopted for killing them. Ifyou are
a sportsman, you can let them out one
at a time and shoot them or kill them
with terriers. A few slips of sulphured
paper thrust through the hole and burn
ed, is, however, very simple plan and
will give most effectual quietus. We
have known a case in which sixty-seven
rats were caught at one time in a box
arranged as described. In this instance
the premises were effectually cleared Of
the vermiu.

A Genuine Help-meat.

Next to the petrifed specimens-says
the Shelby, KY, Courant-the oldest
ham on record is one served at the we'd
ding-feast of a couple who now live in
this county, and by whom the facts can
be authenticated if necessary. The ham
was choice one selected for the purpose
from one of the regular annual stock,
was nicely cured and hung up by the
thrifty housewife to be served at the
marriage of her only daughter, then but
few months old. Time rolled on; the
child passed through the happy period
of girlhood into womanhood, and still
that ham hung among the smoked-raf-
ters of that old meat-house. But the
strong faith of the mother, though she
had put it in man, failed not. Suitors
came, and not suiting, were sent away,
and still the old ham hung mid the raf-
ters and sweetened and dried But at
last there came one whose claims were
referred to- the provident mother, then
grown old with the weight of years
With eyes downcast, he made his mission
known, and pleaded his cause as only a
lover can plead, but lookin@ up to read
his fate in the mothers tongue, even be-
fore the tongue could announce it, he
found her gone. For a moment his
heart sank within him; but voice call
ing, "Betsy, run to the smoke-house and
cut down that ham," assured him that
he had got his meat

Lafayette Ind Journal.

Lafayette Qnd.) Journal.
Mention was made short time since
of the fall of wonderful aerolite in the
lower part of this county. Yesterday
we met Mr.. Harter, who discovered it
upon his farm, near Romney. The frag-
ments in all, it is supposed, VIII amount
to about thousand pounds in weight,
and some features are presented which
will be of great interest to scientific men.
The aerolites heretofore found are of a
solid and metallic nature, having evi-
IDENTIFY struck the earth as compact bod
les.
This one is entirely different. From
the traces it is easily determined that
through the air in one glowing, molten
mass, and that at the moment of its i'm
pingement it was in liquid state. The
fragments are honey-combed like Gin
der and vary greatly in their weight.
1t is further evident that the globe was
hollow, from the smoothness of the con-
cave parts. The outside presents the ap-
pearance of a soft body that has stuck
upon solid particles, as the indention of
grass blades, straws and sticks are plainly
discernible.
One of the fragments had fallen on a
large stick of wood, and conforms to it
exactly. The very texture of the wood
can be seen. Futher than this, all
around the spot where the main body
fell were found numerous little balls of
the same material varying from a shot
to an ordinary sized marble.
They were perfect spheres, and can
be accounted for on no other hypothesis
than that the rapid revolution of the
liquid mass in its descent threw off these
paticles by centrifugal force. Parts of
the material have been subjected to in
tense heat without the least effect being
produced, and they show unquestionable
evidence of ingenious action. A box 81
these fragments will be shipped to the
Smithsonian Institute, and the remain
der are intended for the Purdue Agricul-
tural College.
