AN ARMY OF WATER RATS.

DR.. Van Der Hork, the German traveller
to the Arctic circle, says: Con one occa-
sion we had curious adventure. While
crossing laeustrine part of the river
called Kjoalmejaure, in the early part of
the night, we We're suddenly surrounded
by swarms Of lemming (Myodes torquatus) i,
an animal like the mountain rat They
swarlpea about the boat, and tried to
Chamber iKto it, SO that it was with the
greatest difficulty we could keep the fierce
little creatures from oarding US by beating
about with the oars, at which they would
set up sharp, shrill screams similar to
those Of muskrat. After some time we
succeeded in passing them. These little
animals come Unexpectedly down from
the mountains, no one knowing exactly
whence, and appear in millions, swarming
over the whole country, eating up almost
everything that comes in their way.
Neither rivers nor lakes seem to de-
ter them, both of which they swim with
ease usually keeping on their destructive
path until reaching the open sea, which
they vainly endeavor to cross, never swery-
ing from the direction ohce taken until
they sink exhausted beneath the waves.
Thus perish countless numbers. They
commit great rayages, and are as dreaded
in the North as the locusts are in Egypt.
Years, however, elapse between their reap
pearance, or until they suddenly descend
from their rocky retreats. The Lapps
tell us that they rain from the sky, many
of them stating that they have actually
seen them fall.n

OLD-TINkE POSTAL ROUTES I'M

The first mail between Topsham and
Bath, Me. Chen called the "Reach") by
water, fifteen miles distant, WAS in 1856.
The garrison was on Foreside Topsham,
and dog Lad been trained to take pack
ages to the port of Batl in about two
hours. On arrival he would howl until
he gained admittance, get his answer and
return. after time he was shotby an In
dian, which was great deprivation, and
finally the four-footed messengers place
was filed by an ambitious youth, who
said, 81 will carry your messages by wa
ter For two successive Summers this
brave boy went and came between the two
ports, swimming great part of the way,
in the night time, and resting in the
bushes On the shore of Merrymeeting Bay
by day. AT length he was captured, car
ried to Canada, and after time escaping
returned and resumed his Swimming
mail route" He was again captured a
second time by the famous Indian chief
Sabattis, who broke up that mail route.

York for 20 cents, thus saving from to
8 cents per barrel. Heavy shipments
have been made in this way-one miller
sending eight hundred barrels recently.
The -four is carried from Chicago to st.
Louis and returned without breaking
bulk, all that part of the work being
done without any compensation-for the
mere fun of the thing, so to speak. This
style of business, however, proves
to be no fun to the stockholders
of the roads doing this kind of business.
A few years ago heavy oil dealer of
Cincinnati had occasion to ship large
quantities of oil from Parkersburg, W.
Va, to Baltimore. Owing to this inscru-
table system of mercantile fnanciering,
he found it great saving to ship his oil
to Cincinnati and return it oyer the same
road without breaking bulk to Parkers-
burg en- route for Baltimore. Quite a
sum was thus saved in freight on each
car load. A system of railroad manage
ment or mismanagement which makes
such things possible is simply ruinous to
the roads and injurious in the end to the
whole country. This is what is called
"slashing business"

FEMALE DRESS IN ANCIENT
TIMES.

lnthe wardrobe of Hebrew lady, the
most splendid article of clothing was the
turban, for those who could afford it. The
poor people had to be satisfied with wind
ing piece of cloth round their head. and
fixing it as we'll as they could. The tur-
bans were of various c6lofs, and wound in
different ways; some of them were like a
high tower. Shoes and stockings were
unknown, but soles of leather were fast
ened with two latchets. The ladies, who
carried luxury into every department, and
who are supposed, even in the present day,
to be far from Indifferent to a nice, neat
boot, or toslegant slippers, had their,shoes,
or rather sandals, and their latchets, made
of colored leather; dark blue, violet, and
purple, were favorite colors. The ankles
were decorated with bracelets of gold or
dainty silver chains and rings, with tiny
silver bells. Hair-nets and head-bands
werA in great request. The latter were
made Of gold or silver. and worn under
the net, extending from one ear to the
other. Earrings were much thought Of;
we are told Of some that weighed thou
eand and seven hundred shekels of gold,
and were so large that man could easily
put his hand through them. Some Of tie
women wore several rings with little bells
attached to them. They were generally made
Of horn or of silver. Bat the most popular
ring Was the nose-ring. The left nostril
was pierced for the purpose, and ring
made of ivory or metal put through i.
Bracelets were faEorite ornaments, and
were generally worn on the right arm.
Some of them were exceedingly large, so
that they reached up to the elbow. Rings
On the fingers were worn; chains of fine
gold, Or strings Of pearls with little silver
balls, or small tinkling bells, were worn
round the neck.

AN action of libel against a wealthy
newspaper establishment, damages laid
at $4,000 does not seem to be very
safe basis to start bank on or to enter
upon any very extensive scheme of i'm
provements. Recently a gentleman by
the name of George Gerunder Cor some
thing like it) brought suit against the
New York Stats Zeitung to recover a
very heavy bill of damages to his charac-
ter, by reason Of an alleged libel which
that paper had published. For some
months Mr.. Gerunder fairly reveled in
the wealth which he felt to be almost
within his grasp. He had few friends
who shared in his sanguine expectations.
He acquired credit at corner groceries
and aristocratic places of entertainment,
and was enabled to borrow little sums of
money here and there amongst the cred
ulous, and for some months he was alto
gether happy. An unfeeling and un-
sympathizing jury, however, few days
since rendered verdict for the defend
ant, and the plaintiff is placed in durance
for having obtained large sums of money
and goods on false pretenses-another
victim to the back action or recoil from
newspaper libel suits.

The three men recently released from
the County Jail who were held as wit
nesses against receiver of stolen goods,
are probably rather confused in their
ideas of justice in this country. While
the real criminal was enjoying his liberty
these unfortunate individuals were held
in prison for three long months, lest they
might run away with their evidence.
Truly, little knowledge, in witness, is
a dangerous thing.
