A TOUGH HAT STORY.

The following remarkable example
of animal intelligence is sent Us, says
the Popular Science 4donthly, by u
correspondent who vouches for lis
truth: A lady living in this cil;- .e-
lates that the house occuuirf Dy her
self and family bees.e 80 infested
with rats, that IL the failure of all
other means, il;ry were Obliged to re-
sort to poison to exterminate them.
PhospRorus-paste was used, spread
tbickly over meat, which was then
placed where the rats could readily get
at it. Pursueing this plan for long
time, they were surprised to find that,
while the meat regularly disappeared,
the rats remained, their numbers APP
parently increasing instead Of diminish
ing. One day man in charge of an
adjoining stable asked who was try
ing to poison rats, and, being told, re-
piled, "the rats are to smart for you"
lie led the lady TO the alley alongside
the house where there was a hydranf,
the nozzle of which being broken OIL,
left the water constantly running. I'm
der the hydrant they saw several pie
ces of meat, some partially covered
with, and others entirely destitute of,
any traces of the phosphorus-paste. AT
ter watching some time. the lady actu-
ally saw the rats not only eat the wash
ed meat, but carry the coated pieces
carefully In their mouths from her
back door around into the alley, and
deposit them under the running stream
of the hydrant. Our correspondent
says that The rats may not have known
the character Of the coating on the
meat, but that their course argues a
Of the properties OF water,
and a power Of adapting means to ends,
akin TO reason.

The ssFlorIda.''-The Sensation M Ia
rfer Survivors spoiled by Facts.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 7.-Some
weeks since, an article from a New
Orleans paper was extensively pub
lshed Throughout the country, to
the effect that the crew of the schoon-
er Florida, which sailed for California
from New Orleans in 1910, and were
supposed to have been LOST With all on
board, had been discovered on an is
land In the Southern Pacific by an En-
glish vessel which had been driven
thither 10y continued storms. The crew
stated that the Florida had been
wrecked on this uninhaDited island
twenty-six years ago, and that In the
interval they had not =--H a human
face. They declined however, to leave
the island, having established them
selves In comparative comfort The
narrative was said 10 have created
great sensation among the surviving
relatives Of the crew, aud an effort was
stated 10 be on foot to fit out n vessel
which should visit the island. The
Courier-Journal will publish an inter
view with gentleman tomorrow, who
was living in Valparaiso, Chill, in 1873.
He states that the Florida put into PoIt
Famine, at that time the Gillian pen
al settlement; that the conviets board
ed her, massacred all Of the crew except
a young man named Marcum, and set
sail for the mainland. On her way
she was recapfnred by n Gillian war
vessel and brought into Valparaiso,
where the C0urier-JOunafs informant
got the atoye details from Mareums

Disastrous Effects of the High water
iu the Mississippi.


We publish this -m@lYins the report
of the speci;i commissioner OF the APP
peal as to the condition and prospects
of the planters and plantations he
tween this city and Napoleon. 1t is a
clear, concise statement of facts that
can safely besreled upon by orr mer-
chants and business men n statement
made in almost the words ofthose most
interested. Our commissioner tells
us that he could hear of only
about one hundred acres dam
aged in Mississippi, principally
in Calhoun n county where the levee
is broken. All the plantations inside
the levees in Mississippi, which ex-
tend distance of two hundred and
ninety-seven miles, from Coahoma
county, through Bolivar, Washington
and Issequenna counties, are.reported
able 10 bear al least another loot OF
water. There is danger to the levee
opposite the mouths of White and Ar
kansas rivers, owing to the current
from them. The water is rushing
into Arkansas, at Ashley Point,
near Walnut Bend. AT Walnut
Bend, and ut Old Town Ba-
you, and below the last named place,
the river indicates little or no rise I'M
til the Arkansas Is reached, being re-
lieved perhaps by the overflow into
Arkansas. The highest estimate of
the loss made to our commissioner by
planters and rivermen, will not eX-
coed ten thousand bales of cotton and
u proportionate quantity of corn. The
people are OF course very anxious, but
cannot he said To he at all frightened,
and the prevailing tone of their minds
is one of hopefulness, notwithstanding
the river continues to rise slowly, be-
ing higher bv five inches yesterday
than when our commissioner left on
Saturday.

HOW THE OsAGEs GOT FOOLED.

The running fight that took place on
Seleton Creek, III the Indian Nation,
some few miles below Hopkins Ranch,
was AS follows: The Indians had been
threatening the cattle men for several
days, collecting toll, demanding mon
ey, coffa, and whatever their fancy
prompted, until word was sent to a
company of soldiers passing up the
trail. 1t is well known that when sol
are about, the Indians are verp good I;
so to guard against suspicion four OF
the soldiers were sent out, dressed in
their white stable pants, and camped
where they could he seen. In short
time the four osages rode up and de-
manded money, and upon being re-
fused, told the men they could have one
hour in which to leave the territory,
and began making demonstrations as
though they intended t. follow them
At this one of the men told them the
boss herder was back few miles, and
if they would wait until thcy could
send back, they would pay them. The
Indians consented and u note was sent
to the company that was secreted, and
order to move was given; but the In
dams, seeing the dust, grew suspicious
and fled. The soldiers endeavored to
halt them, and were fired upon, one
shot wounding the horse of one OF
the scouts. A general firing began
then, in which one Indian was shot
through the side and breast, and lay
dying upon the ground. Even when
wounded, he loaded and fired, aud, as
one of the horses dashed by, caught it
nv the tail and ATTEMPTED to cut the
rider with large knife. The other
three We're pursued but not overtaken.
II is thought they were wounded, and it
has been reported they have since died.
