An Animated Rat.Trap.

Animated rat-traps are the latest
things before the public. At the Cen
trail Hudson railroad freight house, VIM.
Wilson observed something firmly held
in the shell of clam, which was packed
with others in barrel. On inspecting
it he was rather surprised to find rats
tail. In the barrel were several holes
for ventilation. and it is surmised the
rat put its tail through one of these to
get it saturated with the juice to obtain
a variety in its bill of fare. But a vim
dictive clam seized upon the caudal ap-
pendage and held it tenaciously. The
rodent pulled desperately, and finally
the tail came out by the roots. An
inch of the tail was inside the shell and
half an inch of the skin inside, and the
bare tendon extended four inches fur
Their. The rat must have had to pull
strongly and suffer excruciating pain,
but the rude amputation was complete.
Gould the clam have been drawn from
the barrel the rat would have dragged
It to his hole, but the aperture was only
half an inch in diameter, and the rats
strength was not sufficient to enable it

CetywayO's Reply.

Cetywayo, the Zulu King, is of fierce
and bloody nature. The promises he
made some time ago to rule more merci-
fully have not been kept, and he now
denies having made them. In his re-
cent reply to circumstances from the
representative of the Natal Govern
ment, he said:
:" do kill, but do not consider vet 7
have done anything in the way of kill
ing. Why do the white people start at
nothing? l have not yet begun. 1
have yet to kill; it is the custom of our
nation, and 1 shall not depart from it,
My people will not listen unless thew
are killed; and, while wishing to be
friends with the English, I do not
agree to give over my people to be
governed by laws sent to me by them.
Go back and tell the white man this.
and let him hear it well. The Cover
nor of Natal and 1 are equal. He is
Governor of Natal, and I am Governor
here"
Evidently Cetywaye is man of de
cided character. The remonstrance
sent was in reference to some special
'ruelties practiced upon women, and
)ther wanton barbarities.

The Late Ameer.

The late Ameer of Afghanistan was
universally called the mailman
throughout his dominions, and so great
was the awe in which he was held by
his subjects, the Times of India says,
that no one dared tell him of the defeat
of his troops on the Peiwar Khotal by
the English invaders. Skere Ali sat in
his council-room, waiting for the news,
but no one ventured to tell him the re-
suit. At last the mother of Abdulla Jan
sent her little girl to tell her father. He
was talking eagerly as the child entered,
and she tried hard to blurt out her mes

How an Election Was Won.

The Madison Qnd) Star says: Some
years ago, Russ, our own G.. W., lived in
our adjoining county of Ripley. He was
then Republican in Democratic
county. What his politics are now we
don't know. and don't care, and we
think he don't know or care either. We
only know he is a manly, big-hearted,
genial gentleman, and that's all we care
about these times. But to the story.
Russ was a Republican candidate for
Sheriff in the Democratic county of
Ripley, and, as q matter of course,
wanted all the votes he could get.
Then, as now, he was passionately
fond OF cunning, and always owned q
fine gun AMI dogs. In his country was
an old German; we will call him Jake.
He also was hunter and q power
among "the boys" He kept a little
country doggery, and his Influence
was worth about thirty votes. In due
time Russ met Jake, and talk about
hunting, guns and dogs rather warmed
the Dutchman toward Russ, although
Jake was a Democrat. After a while
Russ saw one of Jake's lank, pot-bellied
pointers, and commenced to give away
tafy.
Jake" said Russ, "that's a mighty
fine dog. Where did you get himY"
Jake replied to the effect that he
raised that kind of dogs.
" Well, I'll tell you," said Russ, I
am very fond of hunting, and if / am
elected Sheriff this fall shall indulge
myself in shooting to my hearts con-
tent. If / am not elected will not be
able to shoot much. I will give you
$50 for that dog, Jake, if l want him
after the election. Here's So note to
bind the bargain" Jake, tickled te
death at the fine sale of his dog, which
was worth about 80 cents, took the bill,
and as consequence his end of the
county gave Russ handsome majority |
and he was elected. barely pulling
through. Time passed and Russ was
duly installed in the Office of Sheriff |
OF Ripley county. Soon Jake put in an
dragging the unwilling cur
at his heels.
Mister Russ" said Jake, you vos
now elected Sheriff Won dis county und
here is desc dog. Gift me my vorty-
vife tollars."
Jake" said Russ, find that my
lime will not allow me to hunt so much
Is l thought it would; you may just
Keep the dog and the So, too"
Jake studied long time, then took
ong breath, and said:
Mister Russ, l pelieve id, ply Got,

seem to refer, how can it affect the
State, when she is so hopelessly
bankrupt, and the tax gatherer at
the door?
The Funding Act was, in my
opinion, what Thomas ]. Durant
called the State government of
Louisiana created during the war,
"A six months abortion, brought
into the world before its time!" 1t
has been conclusively proven that
the State has never received any
consideration whatever for the
greater part of this debt. 1t was
born in infamy. and it matters not
how much money may be spent TO
carry it in the Convention, it will
fail when submitted to the people.
1t was asserted, before the assem-
bling of the Convention, that the
Constitution was already drawn mp
in New Orleans, and only awaited
the signatures of the country men,
bers. Their little game has been
blocked, and while some have failed,
let us thank God tifty-nine of them
have been found like Jackson's
corps at Manassas Junction, IAN

penetrable to corruption. They
will 60 back to their constituents
with the satisfaction of q work most
nobly and truthfully done, reflect
ing not only credit upon themselves,
but likewise upon the section from
which they came.
A few words in reference to our
able and worthy representative,
Hon. Jas. Nj. Thompson, and I will
close. Elected by only small ma
jority, after very close and exciting
canvass, owing to the fact that the
leaders Of the Republican party
(colored men seemed impressed
with the idea that his course in the
Convention would be detrimental
to their race. He will soon return
to his home, after an absence in
that Convention of nearly three
months, without q single reproach
for any act there done. possessing
the entire confidence OF his people,
whether Republican or Democrat.
His conise must henceforth be up
ward and onward. Ihave observed
him IN the Convention from day to
day, never for a moment absent
from his post of duty, watching and
working tor bis section and the fu-
ture greatness of his people and
State. 1t has, of course, necessarily
told to some extent upon him, and
one can see, in his pale face, how
much mental and physical strain
has been upon him. TO those who
meet him daily. proud in step and
erect In bearing, one would con-
sider him arrogant. Let me tell
those who do not know him as he
is, that chat man does not live en-
dowed with keener feelings for sor-
row and suffering. His ear is al
ways open to the complaints of the
widow and orphan, and his hand
and voice ever ready to protect
them. Truth is stamped upon every
inament of his face, and his sympa-
thies 30 out to the wronged and
afflicted. 1t is very easy to find
men-the world abounds with them,
they are to be found anywhere
who will be true in the hour OF
triumph, but permit one who has
occasion to know it, to say that
JAS. NJ. Thompson will be true to
his friends in the moment OF their
greatest adversely, true to them in
their trials, true TO them in their fdu!f
