How She Killed the Rat.

Yesterday morning Burlington lady,
who lives out on West Hill, was moved, by
reading the "city lyric' on that subject,
to go down into her cellar and see how
the moisture was. She did not 90 down
however, for the water was there before
her and had been all night, and had driven
the rats out to higher ground, like the poor
people in Happy Hollow. She had not
more than opened the door when q great
rat sprang beneath the skirts of her dress.
The next instant the lady had him in her
nervous grasp, holding dress, skirt and
rat with desperate grip, despite the
wriggling and squirming Of the rodent.
And back into the kitchen she went, and
the matinee opened. The lady is good
church member and had never taken a
lesson in dancing in her life, but she
waltzed across the kitchen, and galloped
through the sitting room, and polkad down
the hall, and schottisched back into the
dining room, and reeled back into the
kitchen, where she jigged, and shutfled,
and pirouetted, never missing step and
furnishing her own music all the time,
while her sister and three children ran
after her, shrieking and wailing for help
under the impression that she had gone
mad, and beseeching her to tell what was
the matter. She told them, at last, when
the orchestra was out of breath, and when
she told them they all shrieked in chorus
and ran out of the room, but returned,
climbed up ON the table and begged
her to turn the rat loose. Perish
the thought, she said. In all her
wild dance, while striving to quiet
her nerves, she had chung to that rat 1t
had caused her too much fright to escape
now. She held on to him, and she wasn't
going to let go of him till the headsman
was ready. A council of war determined
that the best way to kill the rat was to
put him in q bag and pound or drewn
him. The lady ordered the galleries
cleared, and then, with many shrieks and
trembling, but determined hands, she
emptied the rat into the bag that her sister
had given her, and called in the family.
When the house was again in session, the
rat was chased into a corner of the bag,
the lady who had captured it put her foot
on the bag to keep him in his place, and
her sister, posing the heavy poker over
the rat, took good aim, raised the
poker high above her head, shut her eyes
and averted her head so that she might
not see the carnage, and then, summon
ing all her strength, struck the deadly
blow. A loud, piercing scream, that
curdled the blood with the intensity of its
agony, followed the blow, and as the
executioner opened her eyes she beheld
the unfortunate rat catcher at the other
end Of the room, seated on the floor, sway
ing to and fro, nursing her bruised and
beaten foot, while the rat, greatly fright
ened by the noise, ran out of the bag,
jumped on the baby's head, and scared It
into commissions, leaped from the baby on
to the table, Topped into crock Of butter,
scrambled through pan ofmilk, jumped
off the table on to the window-sill, and
ran under the house to conceal his emo
tion.- Burlington Ha,ok- Eye.

And yet the Chinese hold themselves quite

And yet the Chinese hold themselves quite
superior to their island neighbors.
The reliability of Chinese witnesses
may be illustrated by an anecrlote that &C.
ours to me. A Chinaman, employed on
board OF q lorcha, entered a complaint
against the Captain, an American, for
an aggravated assault with intent to kill.
Inc parties appeared before the United
States Consul, the Chinaman in a feeble
condition, with his head bandaged in
cloths saturated with his blood, supposed
to have been forcibly and unrighteouslv
shed. It seemed clear that he had barelv
escaped with his life. The" Captain adj
mitted having boxed the mans ears, but
denied that he had wounded him, and in
sisted on q removal of the bandages. The
bleeding victim protested that such dis
turbance would be the death of him, but
the court decided on their removal, when
10! there was not scratch to be found,
and the just now dying man took to his
legs and fled.
In another case foreigner was charged
before his Consul with having kicked a
Chinaman to death. The evidence was
conclusive until the cross-examination
began, when contradiction followed con-
tradiction until the taon-tai, who was
present, became very nervous and inquired
angrily why all these questions were
asked. Cali the Witnesses" said he,
" state that the prisoner killed the China
man, and that is enough" and when, in
spite OF his remonstrances, the cross-ex-
animation proceeded he left the court in
disgust. Of course no Just European
could convict on such testimony.
In their eagerness to make good story
they sometimes overdo it, as in the case
of witness who went into court to prove
that the plaintiff owned a certain piece
of property, but not having learned his
lesson correctly testified that he himself
was the owner, much to the discontinue
Of the plaintiff. Cases of similar char
acter might be multiplied Indefinitely. If
Chinaman has a perfectly good case in
foreign court he often annoys his coun-
sci and spoils his case by trying to i'm
prove upon the facts and introducing lit
tie fictions which seem to him advantage
Gus. This lawless state of things has en-
Cured for ages, and will endure so long
as the country is ruled by Chinese with
whom the force of old customs is greater
than would be the wiscst code Of laws
ever framed. A revolution and change of
dynasty might work some change for the
better, but until China has fixed laws and
the Chinese have learned to respect them,
little real progress can be EXP ected.-

HE House deficiency Appropriation
bill was reported in the Senate, on the 18th, with
amendments. Various petitions and memorials
we're presented. At half past twelve O'Clock the
Senate resolved itself into High Court OF I'm
peachment,, and the House was notified of such
action. Ex-Secretary Belknap soon after en-
tered, accompanied by bis counsel. After the
impeachment Managers and members of the
House had appeared, and the formal opening of
the court, Mr.. Carpenter, for the defense,
read and had filed plea denying
the jnrtsdiction of the Senate to
try Mr.. Belknap, as he was not an officer of the
Government at the time the articles Of impeach-
ment were found and presented to the Senate,
and that he then was and has since been pri-
vate citizen. The court then adjourned to the
18th, to give the Managers time to prepare an
answer to the plea In the House lengthy de-
bate was had on the Kilbourne case, and reso-
luton was finally adopted-165 to 75-directing
the Scrgeant-at-Arms to make return to the writ
OF ha6eas corpus, and to produce Kilbourne be-
fore the court. A resolution was adopted that,
In the further proceedings in the Impeachment
case, the House should appear in the Senate only
by its Managers.
