A Wonderful Rat.

At the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Gra-
vier streets. on Friday evening, was given
remarkably interesting and daring wire
walking performance, which was witness
ed by numerous concourse of curious
spectators. The performer was a full
grown rodent, and his apparatus was fur
nished by telegraph wire, which at the
point indicated crosses over the street from
the roof of Bassett & Co.'S liquor store to
the roof of the store directly opposite.
1t appears that this gay and festive rat
has during the past week made frequent
evening excursions across that wire, to the
edification of the denizens in that quarter,
so that for the past few evenings it has
been the regular thing for curious public
to watch for him at 5 p. NJ. each day-that
hour, curiously enough, having been daily
selected by his ratship for his mid-air jour
ney. True to the call, he came forward
yesterday. as related, and accomplished the
hazardous task in such clever style rs
would have put to the blush the best eff
forts of the champion of two-legged wire
walkers, and which was applauded by the
beholders vigorously and enthusiastically.
He appeared first to view on the roof of
the Messrs. Bassett's store. where, near
the edge, the telegraph wire runs along an
upright, at an elevation of about foot.
Mr.. Rat opened the ceremonies by leaping
from the roof to the wire, which he clutched
with his fore paws, and upon which there
after, by very skillfnl display of his gym
nastic powers, he swung himself until he
stood upon it on all fours. Remaining
thus standing for few seconds, as If to
take . careful survey Of the dangerous

INTEREST ON FRIENDsHIP.-In 1850 a
Young man named Osborn, who had re-
Gently arrived at the mines from the East.
penniless and friendless, was taken sick.
He told his condition to fellow adventur-
er named Hitchcock, who was little
better off, and the latter promised to " see
him through" The promise was kept,
and when, after two months of illness.
Osborn arose from his bed. his friend hand
ed him $3.50 to bear his expenses and to
procure tools, saying to him. g If ever you
get able you can pay me back, but do not
worry yourself and injure your health in
trying to make the money too quick. !"
One year and a half ON that time Os-
born sent Hitchcock s1,250. with the fol-
lowing note: I'm pay interest on friend
ship" His labors proved remunerative.
and by 1873 he was worth $780, 900.
While In San Francisco he met and recog-
nized his old friend. When they parted.
after several days companionship, Osborn
gave Hitchcock sealed package with the
Injunction that it was not to be opened un-
til he was on the cars. There Hitchcock
found that it contained adeed for ons sixth
of o rich silver mine, with . small note
containing the words: !" Interest on friend
ship" Hitchcock has sold his interest
for 1eo. 900.

A Wonderful Oil Well.

The Titusville (Penn,) Herald of July
23. thus describes Il wonderful oil well
that has just been opened:
The ro:ul leiling to the Parker well
from Petrolia is in moderately good con-
lition. and soon after leaving Ceniral
Point the travellers observe the words mo
smoking permitted here in conspicuous
places. After :.bout two anil a II ,if miles
ride the top of hill is Reached, where q
lond. roaring noise is distinctly hard. an /
eighty ro Is further on brings Us in sight
of the well. A dense fog or mist envelope
the derrick, engine house an ttnkS. while
fully one thousanl persons are tliele gaz-
ing on the wonder of Armstrong county.
The derrick has conspiruously placed upon
it. in large letters, Boss Well and .Cres-
well CT y There are two % l-blrrel tanks
full of oil; also two 1.200-b lrreI tanks. one
of which is full. Three dams. one below
the other. catch the dripp ngs; and the
rivulet beyond. we are told. for ten miles
of Il circuitous route to the Allegheny
River, is covered with oil. There are two
two-inch pipes connected with the we'll.
one of which is shut implicitly off, and
out of the other flows steady stream of
oil with immense force. There is NO per-
ceptible intermission in the flow, an. as it
gushes into one of the velve hundred hsr-
rel tanks, the foam and spray envelop the
whole surrounding atmosphere in dense
mist.
A trustworthy gauger informed us that
he had gluged the well three times since
The stream was turned inio The /. 200 bar
rel tank. and he found it doing 1.75O bar
rels. and he estimated the LAX sge to lie 1T
least fifty barrels per day. He further
stated that in his opinion the we'll started
off out of The two two inch pipes at The
rate of $500 barrels per day. Tie also
claimed that although thi: was almost in
credible, he believed that if the full stream
was turne.i on now it would do at least g.
900 barrels.
The well is claimed to be the largest
ever struck in the lower region. A farmer
walked up to Us and offered to sell his al

TREES AND HEALTH.--T are the great
oxygen producers, thus furnishing to the
air what man most needs, at the same time
extracting from it carbonic acid gas, which
is poisonous to animal life, though life-giv-
ing to them. By furnishing the cool. re-
freshing shade to screen us from our New
England scorching June. July and August
suns, they not only render our own and
the lives of animals more enjoyable, but
act, ally serve to prolong life. No COW.
horse, or sheep could be subjected to the
severe experience of being placed in
pasture or driven along our roads during
our summer days, without the refreshing
shade of over-hanging trees is furnished
them. 1t is found that the sheep produces
more, and a better quality of mutton and
wool, when in pastures thus sheltered than
otherwise; that the COW yields more milk
and Of a richer quality; the OK takes on
fat with less food, and that horses are in
every respect benefited as well as their
drivers by a liberal supply of shade; and
it is indisputable that the shade produced
by trees is far preferable in summer for
cattle to that of the shed.
