An Army Of Rats.

SUCH scenes as that described from the
sewers of Paris by Victor Hugo in & Les
Miserables'' are likely to be repeated in the
depths of Nevada mines, if recent ac-
counts are correct Away down, hundreds
of feet into the bowels Of the earth, among
the deserted drifts and galleries of the
mines, are thousands of rats, and their
number is constantly increasing. The
famous Comstock mine is Overrun with
the animals, and in the Belcher mine they
are even bolder and more numerous. The
rats live on what the miners leave from
their lunches, and find, thus far, abundant
sustenanCe. Hundreds of men eat daily
in the mines and the fragments of bread
and meat left are sufficient to feed small
army of rodents Very fortunate rats are
those in the mines, too. They are never
molested, for they are looked upon as
scavengers by the miners. In the heated
depths of the mines the fragments OF
food left would if not consumed soon be
come offensive, but the rats leave nothing.
Even the bones left about are polished by
their teeth. No dogs or cats are yet al
lowed to molest them and the rats caper
up and down the timbers of the shafts at
pleasure, made bold by long immunity. 1t
is feature of the mines not heretofore de-
scribed, and one which may yet result in
something unpleasant to tell OF. Rats
multiply fast, and when, some time,
miner shall have been imprisoned by an
accident, a caving in of the walls or some
thing of the kind, there may be found by
the rescuers only a skeleton picked c'ean
enough to adorn physicians closet.
Such an incident would probably create
prejudice against the rats, but rats have
eaten men before now.-St. Louis hepuots-
The Toledo chronicle. [volume] (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1873-1924, 1875-09-09
thought he concluded he would reply; SO

he wrote, accordingly, IN thls wise:
Miss ST. JoHN-You need waste no regrets
upon your absence yesterday, as 1 was in
deed very pleasantly entertained by your
cousin and kitchen-gi Miss Morris. Per-
haps it will alleviate your distress somewhat
when tell you my call was not intended for
you, but for another person. Respectfully,
CLARENCE NJ. LEE.
Decidedly COOL" Arabella said; but
laid it all to "that artful hussy," and
wondered if it was she he came to see,
after all. She felt humiliated at first, but
as Clarence never came to see her again
she reluctantly gave him up with a sigh
of love-love for his fathers greenbacks-
and in few months was married to an
old miscr of sixty, who was both bald and
rheumatic, but he offered her gilded cage
to live in, and that was sufficient TO satisfy
her.
Lettie found a permanent home with
Mrs. Deane, who gave her all the privi-
leges of society, and year worked won
ders for her, both in outward appearance
and mental culture. | said she found a
permanent home there. 1t was permanent
for five years, but at the end of that time
she went to help make home of her
own. Let me introduce you into that
charming home for moment. We will
make only short call, as she and her
husband-yes, she's married, of course,
else where's the good of my story ?-are
talking upon a very interesting subject
interesting to them, at least
"What shall we name her, Clarencc?'
Have you any preference, Lettie?"
"No. I'll be suited with any name you
may choose, provided it isn't Bridget" she
added.
"Well, then, dear Lettie, in memory OF
the old Scotch song that first attracted
me to you, let her be called Annie Lau-
rie.'"
And so the little, brown-eyed, dimpled,
month old baby in the snowy crib was
then and there christened Annie Laurie
Lee-Rurdi Neto Yorker.

DOMESTIC DIPLOMACY

SHE was watching at the window
AS hurried down the street,
In the simple brown merino
That | fancy looks so neat, :
And her smile thought portentous-
1t was so exceeding sweet.
Then she met me at the threshold
With very loving kiss
That recalled the early stages
Of our matrimonial bliss,
And felt at once tremor-
Was there anything amiss?
No! The children were all quiet,
And the hearth was very bright, -,
And my pet-our roguish Charlie
Was quite festal in his white;
Yet braced myself for something,
Be that something what it might.
My chair was near the fire
And my slippers by its side,
My pipe was very handy
And nay papers open wide,
And she wore the pretty breastpin
That l gave her when bride.
The dinner was perfection
1t was lavish without waste;
The soup was vermicelli
And exactly to my taste,
While the dessert was triumph
or artistic skill in paste.
And when the meal was over,
And 'he inner man at rest,
She drew her chair beside me,
With the baby on her breast;
And felt, and so ! tod her,
l was one among the blest.
Oh! the smile of tender radiance
That illumined all her face
As clasped her to my bosom
In lovers fond embrace
1t was then she softly whispered:
"Won't you let me have that lace:"

"A case has recently occurred at Gosh
en-, Mass, that seems to confirm the pop
ular belief that beech trees are never struck
by lightning. A beech and maple stand
ing near together, with branches inter-
locking each other, received an electric
bolt from a passing cloud which shattered
the maple and passed into the earth
through a PROSTATE hemlock tree lying
near, which was stripped of its bark near
ly the whole length. No trace OF the
lightning was left upon the beach.

Then he rang the bell. Lettie started
and rubbed her eyes as if she had been
dreaming, as its harsh sound reached her
little chamber. She supposed, of course,
it was her aunt and Arabella returned,
and, finding the door locked, had rung
the bell; and they had heard her singing
so loud up there-and oh! dear, what
would they say and what should she do?
But she had no time to waste. She flew,
like bird, down the long stairway and
through the hall, and opened the door
with tren bling fingers and palpitating
