A PLAGUE OF RATS.

The st. Louis Journal says that when
Samuel Davis introduced bill into the
Legislature last winter providing for
the destruction of rats, the press of the
State was inclined to indulge in great
deal of badinage at Sans expense.
If all reports be true, however, the peo-
pie, and especially the farmers of GEN.
trail Missouri, have this summer begun
to realize the benefits Of Sam Davis
effort in their behalf. The counties Of
Saline, Cooper and Pettis are literally
overrun by rats, and the crops are re-
ceiving incalculabie dam age thereby; in
many localities whole fields of corn have
been uprooted and destroyed by rats,
necessitating replanting or abandon
ment for the season. The rats burrow
in the ground close to the fences, in the
hedges and ravines, breed large litters
three times a year, and devour every
thing they come upon. They are the
old-fashioned wharf rats, such as
abound in every city. It is feared that
they will ultimately become a greater
scourge than the grasshoppers have
been, although there is now whole
sale movement against them in the
counties named. One farmer in Saline
county has within the past three months
killed over 1000 of the pests. for the
scalps of which he received $50, in ac-
cordance with the provisions OF Sam
Davis bill"

THE PEOPLES BANK.

We confess TO an objectionable omission in
failing to notice specially the occupation by the
Peoples Bank OF their new bank building, sit-
uated at the corner Of Old Levee and Custom
house Streets ard just completed under the su-
perintendence OF Surveyor D'Hemecourt, the de-
sgner, and Mr.. Turpin, young and promising
architect.
The structure 10 q type Of elegance and SIM
plicity on the exterior, while the interior is hand
somely decorated in fresco and richly uphol.
stored and furnished. The frescoing is the work
Of Mr.. Dressed, until recently the scenic artist Of
the Varieties Theatre, ard this. we believe, Is the
first work OF the kind from his pencil that he has
been able to exhibit to the public. Il has the
quality of being definite aud correct in outline
and rich, yet not gsudy, in color, and manifests
great taste in conception and neatness in execu-
tion.
In securing the iron vaults, formerly belong
ing to the late Bank of America, the Peoples
Bank are now the possess0rs Of one OF the finest
and completest fire proof and burglar proof cafes
in the country, the main lock of the vault being
susceptible Of nearly two thousan combination
One OF the advantages Of tbs interior is it's
roominess and it's adaptability TO extension in
case Of increase OF business, which must be the
consequence of the removal Of the bank to ts
porting houses OF our commercial community.
In complimenting the directors and stockhold-
era OF the Peoples Bank upon the installation
OF their institution in it's ornamental edihce, we
take the oc ,asion to wish them all the popularity
and prosperity which they deserve.

THE CONTEST IN FRANCE.
The support TO be Given the MacMahon
Candidates i'm the Coming Election.
[London Times.l

TLondon Times.]
PARIS, Tuesday, July I'm. de Four
tou's circular to the Projects Yesterday
was confidential one. and will not be
published, but the Francais, the Due
de Broglie's organ, says OF it:
"It is couched In very clear and pre-
else terms, and forbids the Projects to
support, on behalf of the government,
any candidates but those resolved to
defend Marshal MacMahon's policy,
postponing their own hopes. None of
them will be allowed to unfurl the flag
of one of the parties which aspire to
power in 1880.
The time has not come for such
demonstrations. The safety OF the
country demands that those Offering
themselves to the electors with the sup
port Of the government shall have no
other anxiety than that Of maintaining
the conservative union, which Is indis-
pensable for struggling successfully
against the Radical union"
M. de Cassagnac, in the Pays, profess
ses to approve the circular, but adds a
significant reservation:
"We do not mean, however, that the
flag should be altogether kept out of
sight. In many elections this would be
dangerous, and would be the surest
way Of failure. Wherever it will be pos
sible to be only a MacMahonite, with
out danger for the candidacy, it is
proper to be only a MaeMahonite. II
elsewhere it Is necessary to assume a
more marked color in order to set going
the electoral current, this must be done,
but always exhibiting the greatest re-
serve
In other words, Bonapartist candi-
date should hoist his true colors where
ever he can do it without preiudicing
his chances, but where this would run
the risk OF losing Monarchist votes, he
should declare himself MacMahon-
ite. Mr.. Tristan Lambert, whose ad-
dress has called forth the Ministerial
reprimand, will doubtless say that he
has acted upon this very rule; that his
supporters at Fontainbleau want the
empire in order to restore life to the
town. and that they care nothing for
the Marshal. He has, at any rate. been
candid, and the Legitimist Gazette de
Paris acknowledges that II he likes the
say so than disguise it. The Gazette
scouts the notion that the Bonapartists
care for anything but the restoration of
the empire, and it bitterly attacks M.
Rouher.
"Vice Emperor he has been, Vice En-
peror he means to remain. He is
making the empire. 1t matters moth
ing to him that it is on the ruins OF
France and on the ruins of the Conser-
vative cause"
1t proceeds to catalogue all the griev-
ances Of the Ultramontanes against
"the Rouher Empire" from the unity OF
Italy and Germany to the election of
Republican life Senators.

Palais Royal,

Among the many changes to take place SOON
on the grand boulevard none will be more strik-
ing and more indicative Of the good time to come
than the swayiDg to the breeze the banners Of the
grand "Pslais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for 80 many years been the popu-
lar proprietor Of the dollar store, No. 1877 Canal
street, seems to have had his faith shaken in re-
publican institutions and ideas, and is deter
mined, with one fell swoop, to obliterate the
name OF dollar store forever He is making prep
arations for the opening of this elegant and gor-
geous establishment, and nothing will be spared
in making it the moss attractive place in the
Southern country. Leyy's dollar store is known
throughout the whole South, and as it has been
known for it's promptness in filing orders and
the polite attention Of the clerks, and the place to
get everything, so will the Palais Royal grow
into popular favor, for We will see in the large
and gilded signs that are TO adorn the building
evidences of a new era, prosperity which We
have longed for but never expected until the
present time.

A WORD OF PRAISE FROM MORTON's
PAPER,
indianapolis Journal. !

The course of the Southern people
during the exciting events of the last
worthy. Not only has there been no
disturbance or outbreak in any part of
the extreme South, but some of the
Southern States have made offers Of
volunteers to the President il they were
needed to quell disturbances and en-
force the law in the Northern States.
The Southern papers, too, have gen.
orally spoken firmly on the side Of law
and order, and, SO far as we know, there
has not appeared the slightest symptom
OF disloyalty to the government. This
is an encouraging sign. It shows that
the Southern people are becoming i'm
bued with national feeling, and that
loyalty for the General Government is
taking healthy root there.

A Railway BlOckaded by Tramps.
IChicago Times.

MARsHALLTowN, Iowa, August 3.-A
large number Of tramps have taken
possession of train on the Central
railroad, at Ackley, and have torn up
the track. The citizens, either from
fright or sympathy with them, do
nothing to dislodge them. A military
company from this city has been or
dered there to recover the train. All the
towns along the line south have been
furnishing transportation for the
tramps and sending them north, until
the country is literally flooded with
them. Two hundred were sent from
this city yesterday. About sixty under
took to take possession Of train here.
and it took the entire railroad force
from the machine shops, with the track
and train men, to dislodge them. They
claim to be in a starving condition, and
that it is bread or death with them.
