COLONEL John FoRsYTHE, edi-
tor of the Mobile Register, and for
nearly a lifetime one of the leading
journalists of the South, died IN
Mobile yesterday, after a lingering
illness. Colonel Forsythe was an
able and educated man, and welded
for a great many years a large IN
fuence in public affairs. Some
years before the war he was a min
lister to Spain and acquitted him
self with the highest credit. Al
though a lawyer, if we are not mis-
taken, a literateur and a lover OF
bellies lettres, he devoted the ener-
gies of asuperbly endowed mind to
the journalistic profession, and IN
that won the highest distinction
that can be reached in a private
station in life. While a bold, incis-
i've and aggressive writer, he never
descended to abuse or personalities.
wrote in a pure, clear, simple
style, which is alike understood by
the ordinary reader and acceptable
to those of scholarly tastes. He
was a Democrat Of the old school,
and since the Yag has occupied
generally a rather extreme South
,rn position. of late years he has
not written much owing to failing
health.

The cable reports that the engineers have
completed their preliminary examinations of
the English channel with a view to the sub
marine tunnel They report the plan practi-
cable. Startling as the idea seems of going
some twenty mics by railway under the sea,
il is hardly more so than going through the
Alps. The chalk formations that rise in cliffs
that give TO England the name Of Albion,
form the floor of the English channel and
are continuous from England to France, of.
fering . sort of rock easy to work. The de.
tails Of tie plan are not yet determined, nor
how the difficulties are to be met of keeping
out the water while at work, of forming a
water-tight lining capable Of resisting the
great pressure, nor Of ventilating the tunnel
when complaied. 1t will be an adventurous
carload that first goes through it.

New York's Rat Catcher.

The st. Louis Times says Richard Toner
a professional rat.catcher of considerable no
toriety in New York city, arrived in st. Louis
yesterday, and has taken n contract to nd the
Lindell House of rats. He is accompanied
by one assistant and has thoroughly trained
ferret. Mr.. Toner says that rats begin to
breed at the age of three months, and once
every month thereafter produce litter of
thirteen; that the number of the litter never
varies, and is always composed Of twelve
males and one female; that It the number of
females were as great as males rats would be.
come plague that ali the terriers and rat
catchers in the country could not keep down.
He began operations at the Lindell last
night, in the presence of half dozen persons
He armed himself with dark lantern, u
gunny bag, and a peculiar constructed pair
Of tongs or nippers. The tongs are about two
and a half feet long, and have handles like
shears. Mr.. Toner gave the bag to his asss
tant, and took the dark lantern in his left
hand and the tongs in his right. Equipped
in this manner, he crept about the cellars
among barrels and boxes, and every now and
then seized rat with the tongs. The assis.
tant who kept right at his heels, instantly
opened the mouth of the bag and the rat was
dropped into it, the process Of capture not
occupying oNeI Ten hecouut. llc says tnAl
when he throws a strong light from the Lam
tern upon q rat il does not run, but simply
turns so as to prevent the light from shining
in its eyes. As it turns there is no difficulty
in selling it with the tongs.
Mr.. Toner did not make any use Of his fer
ret until about o'clock, when everything
was quie. in the house. He first went all
over the premises examining the rat holes TO
iamiiarize himself with the rats ''runways.
He says the rats have certain holes to run
through when they are frightened, aud that
an experienced rat catcher can soon learn how
these holes lead. After acquiring this knowl.
edge he sent his ferret into a rat hole and
stationed himself at the other end of the hole,
For instance, he found rat hole in the pan
try and traced its course down into the cellar,
where it came out in some corner He start.
ed the ferret into the hole up stairs, and sta
toned himself below with his tongs. The
ferret pushed his way along the turnings Of
the hole and drove the rats ahead of him.
As the rats ran from the hole in the cellar
Toner picked them up with his tongs and
dropped them into his bag. Toner owned the
largest rat pit in New York.
