Direct Trade.

While the Committee OF the Tax
Payers Convention is exerting itself to
have the condition of affairs in South
Carolina rightly apprehended in iutlu-
entail quarters in Washington, quiet
commercial movement has been made
by the Charleston Chamber of Com
merce upon the cities Of the South nnd
West, which promises no Insignificant
results. Tho chief inpediment to the
successful establishment of o. line Of
steamships from Charleston to Liver.
pool, consists in the difficulty of obtan-
ing return freights. The facilities which
the port Of Charleston offers, in ts loca-
ton and natural advantages as port Of
entry for the trade Of the West Indies
and of Europe, have been overlooked
in the popularity and moro active bust
ness interests of Northern cities. But
it is plain that the West and South can
do better by importing directly through
port on the South Atlantic coast.
Acting upon this idea, the Chamber of
Adger Smyth to bring tho subject be-
fore the cities OF the West most directly
interested in the project, and to guarau-
tee that the freights would be- as low as
by any other line. He has been the re-
oipient Of marked attentions and warm
encouragement wherever lie has pre-
sented it. Augusta, Atlanta, Knoxville
and Nashville have pledged to the line
an active business, and otherwise pro.
missed to encourage its success. The
railroads lending to Charleston have CO.
operated by offers of liberal rates OF
freight. There is something practical
in this. We are pleased to SEQ thu
N ovement receive 30 much favor. 1t is
a significant sign, occurring simultune.
ously with harmony Of views between
these two great sections on the currency
question, and indicating closer ali
ance between them in the future.

RATS.
What the Rodents are GOOD For.
From AL the Year Round.


OF what use is the rat to man? Well,
not very much that we know of; yet a
few items may be mentioned Proba-
bly, we must not attach too much impor-
lance TO the alleged prophetic powers of
the rat-that if he gnaws PERSONS
clothes, that person will speedily die;
that II he suddenly quits house, the
house will very shortly be burned down:
that if he deserts ship, the ship is in
slnhlngicondition. A mill at PEBBLES was
suddenly deserted by whole colony of
rats about twenty years ago; two hours
afterward the mill was burned down.
But it must be confessed the logic is
very weak that proves, from these facts,
the possession of any prophetic power
by MIR. Rat. We have evidence that
he has sometimes been made useful, as
an II. 81. or an r. A. James, in his mill
tary dictionary, svys: "Rats are some
times used in military operations, par
ticularly for the purpose of setting fire
to gunpowder. On these occasions q
lighted match is tied to the tail of
the animal. Marshal Vauban recon-
mends, therefore, that the walls Of pow
der magazines shall be made very thick,
and the passages for light and air so
narrow as not to admit rats We do
not know whether cruel sport can be
called useful employment OF rats; but
an account is given of a strange proceed
ing at Rome. A large number Of rats
were dipped in spirits of trrpentine
set on fire and made to rush down an
open fight OF stairs near the Vatican;
they reached the bottom as masses of
charred flesh, amid the shouts of the
populace. Rats are worth three shil-
Gngs dozen, to furnish supply for
these brutal exhibitions, in which rat
killing terriers show their power. Rats
are also caught for Jho value of their
skins. The fur is dressed into very
good substitute for beaver, while the
pelt is dressed into leather so fine,
elastic and close as to be used for the
thumbs for the best gloves. There is a
firm In Paris which buys the skin for
this purpose. If one believes that rats
are not used for food he must change
his opinion. In Paris the chafo,siers or
bone-grabbers eat them. Gypsies eat
such rats as are caught in stacks and
barns and are less strong i'll flavor and
odor than those that feed onmiverously
In China split rats are bought as a
dainty. An English surgeon Of some
note had some cooked for his own eat
ing. In man-of-war, where the rats
made havoc with the biscuit, the sailors
had a regular battle and brought down
numbers of them. Jack made rat pie,
baked it, and liked it. At the siege of
Malta, the French garrison when fam
ished, offered as much as dollar a
head for rats, or two dollars if barn fed
During the seige of Paris, in the late
Franco German war, many tasted rat
who had never tasted it before

Death of Dickens /" Lascar SAL"
From the London Echo.

There have been many women for
whom a stanza of poet has been a
brevet of perpetual fame, and some
times, as in the case of Mrs. Black, of
Athens, provision of a more substan-
admirers. The same can hardly be said
of the personages who sat for their pic
lures to our great novelist, Dickens,
who often thought fit to reverse the
principle of "as5bit tetigjt Quod non
oamaUit," and "touched nothing" with
out making it more grotesque. Among
the characters whom he appears to
have drawn truly enough, albeit in
most repulsive colors, was the wretched
creature called &c LascarSal," described
in edwin brood" as the female pur-
veyor of opium, and herself smoker of
the drug. This miserable woman, it
appears, died recently of scarlet fever,
in frightful condition Of neglect and
restitution, in court in Bluegate
Fields, in St. George's-in the East.
Naturally the vice to which she had adj
dicted herself, and the effects of which,
the Lancet remarks, are frequently
seen in all their hideousness by medical
practitioners in the East End, left her
in state Of low vitality unfit to con-
tend with the disease to which she i'm
mediately succumbed. In her filthy
and miserable room we are informed
that white mice were found running
about to the number of ''several hun
dred." Making allowance for exagger-
alton, and sapposing the poor woman
to have fed some dozens of the little an
imals in her extreme poverty, we have
curious and not unaffecting picture of
a human being ruined by a soul-and-
body-destroying propensity, yet retain
ing SO much of gentleness in her isola
ton and degradation as to care for these
minute friends-possibly the only crea
lures in the world who did not shrink
from "Lascar Sal"

African and Scottish Cruelty.
From the Pail Mall Gazette

Among the unpleasant facts observed
by Sir Samuel Baker in his wanderings
on the shores of the White Nile was one
similar to that recorded by the African
traveller Bruce, who declared to an un-
believing public that the Abyssinians
cut beefsteaks from living cattle. He
found that it is the practice in certain
district to remove the humps of the
native bufaloes while the animals are
alive, and that, the meat thus obtained
being much valued, this horrible opera
ton is repeated several times during
the lives of the miserable creatures.
This is disgusting enough, and the peo-
pie guilty of such methods Of increas-
ing the meat supply are, no doubt,
stepped in cruelty and bloodshed; but a
traveller from Unyoro might, had he
been Ill Glasgow the other day, have
turned the tables on white critics, and
pointed to as ugly a sight in Christian
and civilized England. Here a charge
was lately proved against an engineer
OF having cruelty tortured dog by put
ting it into pot over the fire, filled or
partly filled with boiling water, and al
lowing the animal to remain there howl
ing and barking until the hair, skin,
and flesh were about to separate from
it's bones, when it died. It was also
stated by witnesses that they found the
defendant standing looking on at the
poor brute struggling in the pot, and
asking it to give an account of itself
now. We could wish in the case of it's
trial that the venue had been changed to
Africa, where, if the law had taken cog
nizance of the ofense at all, it's majesty
would have been indicated with hip
popotamus whip instead of twenty one
shillings Or fourteen days imprison-
ment

them to learn. How far this is to be
reconciled with any idea Of justice or
common humanity, we do not say; but
this we know, we have often shud
dered at such a sight, and we trust we
shall ever do SO while we hold the
name of man. If we see a few fine fell
lows knocked over in the field of battle
which we have often seen-all run
the same risk, and it is in "glorious
cause" we exclaim "there goes poor
such-a-one;' THE mind has no time to
dwell on the subject, and after-refec-
ton tells us we must all go, and it mat
ters little what may be the messenger
it pleases Providence to sent for us; but
torturing to all but death all animal for
following a natural propensity that we
have permitted him to indulge in, until
for our own pleasures we determine to
break him of it, produces feeling of
disgust and contempt towards it's perpe-
traitor. Begin their education early
enough. =
