The Rats that Sherman Left Behind
in His March to the Sea.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta has become so thoroughly in
tested with rats that their destruction
has become matter of very serious i'm
portance. The ruthless invader of our
state-rooms granaries and coops, is the
regular wharf rat-or Norway rat as 1t is
called. Is an importation and not a Ma
tive production 1t is said that it came
with Sherman's army to Atlanta, being
brought hither in the forage for the horses
that was shipped out from New York.
He is a perfect monster, is as large as a
small kitten, has huge thighs and fore
shoulders, possesses enormous strength,
is combative and plucky, and his cruel,
rapacious face!is ornamented with pair of
flowing nloustaches. He has bred with
Incredible rapidity since his introduction
here, and has literally devoured or driven
off the modest, lnofensive and old-fash-
toned little glay rat, that innocent, easily
satisfied vegetarian, that may be termed
"the rat Of our fathers" A more harm
less little rodent than our little rat of
ante-bellum times can hardly be mag
ined. He was accepted without muir
muir, and really taken as q sort Of nleas-
ure joke. He figures in history as de-
cent, gentlemanly rat, that cracked an &C
casional grain Of corn, or licked syrup,
once in while, from its tail that it had
dropped into some sweet'jug. Hetigurcs
in history in such pleasant episodes as
the visit Of the country rat to the city,
and in poetry as the rat that eat the malt
that lay in the house that Jack built. He
did no harm, and was liked and tolerated
\ On a1l honfla Rnt fhia nau rot horn !; n
the throes Of revolution, and growing
amid the fierce turbulence Of this latter
day, is blood thirsty and abnormal
scoundrel. He despises the mild and
musty corn, or the tranquil jam upon
which the rat of our fathers fed, and
when he wants lunch he rushes out into
your yard, seizes half grown chicken,
and clapping its throat latch with its sharp
teeth, throws the FACILITATING corpse over
/ lis shoulders and gallops back to his den

drake Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine vet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild rs to be harmless even
to children, it is still so cffectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsomc disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from it's cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed arc strictly maintained.
