A Terrier Killed by Rats.

Uncle Sammy Hunt is too well known
70 need advertisement. In his possession
he had. until within a recent date. beau
! tiful specimen of the canine race, of the
black and tan breed. At the age of six
months il weighed but fourteen and halt
ounces. and was 80 small in size that one
could easily carry il in his hat. wrap il IN
handkerchief. or even stow il away in
his dress-cOat pocket. The little pet at
tracted much attention and the owner
was offered as high rs $40 for il. but re
fused 70 accept He fed il nothing but
crackers and dry food, giving il no meat
and il was a sound rs dog could he. Dog
fancicrs who cxaminedit were unanimous
IN the opinion that it was the smallest
specimen of the canine that ever existed.
Not many days ago Uncle sammy. on
reaching his store one morning. noticed
that the little pets salute was rather weak.
and commenced upbraiding himself for
keeping him tied. he fearing that the cord
had chokcd him. This was not the case.
Entering further into the establishment.
he found that during the preceding night
the lilliputian canine had'bccn attacked by
number of rats, three of which he had
killed. How many more he compelled TO
retreat Is not known. There were some

and ne seemed completely exhausted.
The rats which he had killed were larger
and heavier than himself He never rail-
lied from his exhaustion, but died in two
weeks time. His body was then handed
over to "a taxidermist. when il was found
that one oi the wounds had penetrated the
skull. and that the brain had been poison
ed by the rats teeth. the poison working

and ultimately causing death. The little
fellow had killed mice innumerable. and
also rats; but being fastened by cord. il

Tho EVIL or Intolerance

We have rumors OF strife and even
bloodshed at some of the polling places
in this State, originating in the desire
of bigoted political partisans to pre-.
vent votes being cast against their
side. In Eufaula, Alabama, riot took
place on the day OF election in oonse-
.quence of negro seeking by whip and
pistol to ohastise another for voting
the Democratic ticket. The conse-
quence OF this intolerance was, as re-.
ported in our dispatches yesterday
morning, three killed, four mortally,
seven seriously and eight slightly
wounded OF one race, and one nun
mortally. one seriously, and three
slightly wounded OF the other. Sevs-
raj hundred shots were fred. It is
deplorable to have to record suoh sac
rifices for opinions sake. taking cfrect
mostly in those OF the one side or the
other who are the victims OF the wick
ed advice OF onscrupulous mon, and
more sinned'against than SHINING. We
have had such men in this State doing
their utmost to poison the minds Of
the oolored people. We heard one the
other evening deliver most inoendlary
speech, for.which his ear ought to have
been taken of as disturber Of the
peace and fermenter of strife between
those whose destiny is cast in the
same State, and whose prosperity is
bsnnd up with each other. In other
places this same man transcended all
bounds. It is gratifying, after all,
however, that 30 little harm has come
OF these vile attempts. The colored
people have shown generally that they
-appreoiate such men as these at their
full value, and have observed peace
able. quiet demeanor in the midst Of
these turbulent aud inhammatory ap-
peals. For this they are much to be
commended. They begin to see
through these viliiars. and whatever
may be The result of this election. it
has taught aud enforced the great les.
son that the true policy of the white
and colored people is entirely oonso.
usnt with liberal. liberation of op-
posite opinion aud a broad humanity,
which knows no bounds of party, race
or color. -

Jimmy ''the school ma'am will out of
his ears" ''pull out his teeth" .tie

that are commonly presented to the
childish imagination. Think you the
little one will believe anything you
tell him after he becomes acquaintt d
with the gentle teacher who has not
the least idea Of putting those terrible
threats into execution?
Don't tell the children they must not
drink tea because it will make them
black, while you continue the use of it
daily. Your example is more to them
than precept; aud while your face ia as
fair as June morning. they will
scarcely credit the oft-told tnle. Either
give mp drinking the pleasant beverage,
or give your children q better reason
| for its non-use.
Don't tell them they must not eat
sugar or sweetmeats because it will rot
their teeth. Pure sugar does not cause
the teeth to decay, and sugar with
fruits is nutritious and healthy, not
withstanding the 'old saw" to the con-
trary. The case Of city children ia
often cited; the cause of their pale
faces and slight constitutions being an
over amount OF sweetmeats with their
diet, when the actual cause is want of
pure air and proper exercise.
Don'e tell the sick one that the me-
dioine is not bad to take when you Gun
hardly keep your own stomach from
turning ''inside out" at the smell of it.
Better by far tell him the simple truth,
that it is disagreeable, but necessary
for hls health; that you desire him to
take it at once. Ten to one he will
swallow it with half the trouble Of
coaxing and worry of words. and love
you better for your firm, decided mau-
ner.
Don't teach the children by example
to tell white lies to each other and to
their neighbors. Guard your lips and
bride your tongue if you desire to
have the coming generation truthful.
Truthfulness is one of the foundation
stones of heaven. Remember the old,
old Book says ''no liar" shall enter
within the gates of the beautiful city.
There is no distinction between white
lies aud those of durker hue. a
falsehood is an untruth, whether The
matter be great or small.

The South CAROLINA ELECTION.
Returns last evening, from across tue
river. were meagre. In Hamburg, ths
vote was unusually large. The negroes
crowded the polls all day. and it is
thought that, notwithstanding the
precantion taken, many Georgia dar-
kies cast their ballots in the village.
We heard late last night. that many of
the negroes contended that their tick
cts had been counterfeited, and thnt
they had seized their guns with the in
tenticn of demanding that their ballots
oe returned to them. At the late hour
at which we received this intelligence,
we were unable to obtain anything nu.
thentic iu regard to the matter. Edge
field County is reported to have gone
Conservative. Aiken will probably be
the same way. The Conservatives
we're over 800 ahead at Grnniteville,
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. and
nine to one at langley. AS fur IA
heard from, Aiken and Edgetield both
seem to be oil right. Two young men
from his city went to Aiken yesterday
morning, and remained during the
day. They detected about seventy five
Georgia negroes trying to vote.
