LIEUTENANT BULLS IN PERIL
Rumors of Disaster and Danger to the

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. !, 1877.
No definite intelligence has been received re.
specting the movements OF the United states
troops under Colonel Shalter and Lieutenant Bulls
At military headquarters nothing has been heard
beyond the fact that both Colonel Sharter and Lieu
tenant Bulls are on Mexican territory, and that
reinforcements have also gone across the border
to render assistance case an attempt Is made to
intercept Colonel Shalter or interfere with him
when he returns to this side OF the river. No
official news of a collision is at hand but there is
very little doubt entertained here that an engage
ment has really taken place. 1t is also evident
that on Saturday Lieutenant Bulls was In pre-
carious position in the Sierras, and that Colone
Shafter has gone to his assistance.

A despatch to the San Antonio Express from
Eagle Pass. dated Sunday, states that courier had

as decent, gentlemanly rat that crack
ed an occasional grain of corn, or licked
syrup, once in while, from his tail that
he had dropped into some sweet jug.
He figures in history in such pleasant
episodes as the famous 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 all hands
But this new rat, born in 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 whenever he wants
lunch he rushes out into your yard,
seizes half grown chicken, and, clip
ping its throat-latch with his sharp
teeth, throws the palpitating corpse ov-
er his shoulder and gallops back to his
den to wallow in warm gore These
huge rats can be seen in great numbers
galloping about the stores along
the street at night 1t is almost impos-
sible to raise poultry anywhere in the
city. The rats kill young ducks and
chickens with the greatest ease, and
during last winter, entered, on one oc-
casion, a chickencoop, and pulled from
its roost and destroyed full-grown
hen. They kill grown pigeons frequent
ly. They do not confne themselves to
the city, but are spreading into the
country We have seen them six miles
from town.
DR.. Taylor has one which is about as
large as his dog, that burrows back of
the store The Doctor says the burrow
opens up at the other end somewhere
beyond Decatur These. rodents can
swim creek, and nothing seems to stop
them. They make moonlight raids into
the country, moving in troops of a score
or SO, carrying destruction to the barn
yards and granaries and CONSERVATION
to the sleek and non-combatant rats OF
the rural districts. They will attack a
man when they are pressed in corner
On such occasions when flight is impos-
sible they will fly at their pursuer in
blind rage, and generally succeed in
closing their teeth through his flesh
somehow. The bite of this little animal
is actually poisonous. Capt E. NJ.
Roberts was bitten by one, and his hand
is now shriveled all around the bite.
Mr.. Harwell was bitten, and it was fear
ed that his arm would have to be ampu-
tated Mr.. Dickson was bitten, and
was sick for weeks. The poison instilled
is virulent and obstinate. There is
notice in the St. Louis papers Of late
date that professional rat-killer of
New York had gone to that city, carry
ing gang of ferrets that have been
trained to hunt and kill rats He guar
antees to kill several hundred day, and
to virtually rid st. Louis Of the pres
ence of this ubiquitous and deadly ma
rauder. When he has finished we ad-
wise that he be sent for.

Worse than the ''BummerS."
Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution,

A few days ago Mr.. Holbrook, a sa-
gacious and successful grocery mer-
chant on Peachtree street, packed his
stock of goods, moved them from his
store into a vacant store a door or two
off, then ripped up every plank in the
floor, laid down II floor Of solid sheet
iron, replaced the upper planks, and
moved his goods back.
What does it all mcan?' we asked
him.
1T means rats" he replied. "Yes,
sir, rats. | tell you the rats here cost
me more by hundreds of dollars than
my taxes and insurance. | have tried
to get rid of them in every possible way
| have found that they continued to in

has become matter OF very serious i'm
portance The ruthless invader of our
store-rooms, granaries and coops, is the

is called. 1t is an importation, and not

a small kitten, has huge thighs and fore

is combative and plucky, and his cruel
rapacious face is ornamented with a

with incredible rapidity since his intro

or driven out the modest, inoffensive
old fashioned little gray rat, that limo,

may be termed the rat of our fathers.

Cast Out.

The Philadelphia North 4merican
says: Here are faint photographs of
some of these men as seen along the
line Of the Boston and Albany railroad,
whose hearts might have been reached
if the winding stairs had been climbed
by love- patience and kindness. Tis
night fall; along the railroad track, near
a small stream of water, fifteen to twen-
ty men are lying on the ground, without
any covering, asleep; old boots, shoes
and dirty, hard stockings are scattered
around. and several bare, blistered feet
are visible; when aroused, they answer
any questions willingly, and the tales
narrated would freeze the life out of
young hearts, which language fails to
portray A man is seated on top of Il
fiat rock. He has some pieces of what
appears to be letter III his hands
The paper is rotten from age and from
being carried in his pocket. The almost
illegiblc lines were written by a tender
hearted mother now dead, and the poor
out-cast is trying TO read her last words
to him. He repeats the story Of
mothers love-how, when he lay a boy
in her lap, and her hand on his head,
she told him of the boyhood Of good
men, and made him promise, when he
would become man, that he would re-
member her counsel and follow their
example But when he came to the
great city he began to drink with revel-
ing companions, and no one ever gave
him kind word afterward; and the
stricken wreck in agony of soul burst
into tears, and refused to be comforted
or receive any aid. Another has seen
better days; he was once a happy hus-
band and father. His wife went down
to the grave uncomplaining, and soon
sweet golden-haired little girl lay at
her side. He feels accursed- in one
sense murderer; he is tifty-four years
old and friendless. Rum has been his
ruin. When found he was eating corn
from an empty car, where some kernels
had been left scattered on the floor.
The next in review is a man who had
formerly been employed in the Freed
mems bureau; he has wife. and four
children He has been to New York
to obtain employment, has failed and is
returning to his family in Maine. He
states that he had lived in Washington
diiu Iio CulCi tiluCu REPRESENTATIVES,
and Senators at his home, He is a
Freemason, we'll posted, and had been a
member of DR.. Storrs' church, Brook
lyn, n. Y He is an object of pity. He
said he had washed his shirt on Sunday.
He was furnished with lunch, and he
promised calling on Rev. Dr. Webb. A
man was found in a very weak condition;
he had not strength enough to go into
the woods and ask for food; he had
walked from Providence to Worcester
and thence to Boston, and did not seem
to care for life The Boston and Albany
railroad detective from whom these
items have been obtained has, from OBJ
servation and long experience, an insight
into the character Of this class, and IN
the 300 whom he has interviewed in the
past few weeks he considers that the
men spoke truthfully, and in most eases
would rejoice in finding labor, many of
them having learned trades,
