Rats and COckroaches on Board

London fleld.l
The natural history of a voyage
would be incomplete, however, with
out some reference to those old nautl-
cal messmates, rats and cockToaches.
Rats frequently ascend the rigging,
and when discovered aloft the word is
given, and the unhappy rodent has to
run the gauntlet Of marling spikes
held by willing hands below. | have
noticed several cases Of apparent sui
eide by the rat on these occasions; it
seemed to spring overheard from the
rigging when it had descended almost
to the shrouds, where its enemies we're
| stationed and cut off its escape. l
have also seen it apparently spring
overheard when pursued By my dog,
the action appearing of a voluntary
nature. Ny dog was a small Italian
greyhound, presumably Of somewhat
pure breed, and the last animal that
could be considered good for rats. -
| However, such was the case, and a
few Of these trapped rodents in an
empty beef cask provided always a
moment Of excitement for this little
and unlikely looking dog. The ex-
PLANTATION | take to be this: 1t is
a custom to cross black and tan
terriers with the Italian grey.
hound to increase the length OF the
nose, and this has gone on for some
time, especially in breeding the so.
called Toy terriers. My little grey
hound bitch probably had terrier
blood, and inherited instinct Rats
seem to increase in temerity with the
length Of the voyage, aud their pres
euce in time becomes less Objectionable
Before the voyage was finished | quite
lost the repugnance | at first felt when
they sometimes ran across my bed at
night. As regards the ubiquitous
cockFoaches, (Blatta sp.,) | learned to
forget their depradations in admira-
ton Of their %tenacity Of life, Bennett
records these insects as drinking the
ink, and, as far as my experience goes,
nothing comes amiss to them. Ger
tainly, when they were found eating
my ~arsenieal soap, and apparently with
immunity, | gave up all attempts Al
extirpating them from my cabin. Al
intervals the eockroaches would fy
about during the night, and this l con
sidered more disagreeable than the
visits of rats. They, however, only
took wing at rare intervals, and | ha7t
met with no explanation OF that habit
DR.. Seeman in his "A Mission t.
Wit" states that at FIJI cockroachel
so swarm in some vessels that they
have to be sunk under water to free
them from the pest.

The Thespians Last Night.

The entertainment given last nigh: nj
Smiths Opers House, By the "Th,-pIaar,
who presented the beautiful pastoral dram.
If "Wiiiow Copse," for the benefit of the
poor of Sedalia, was grand success.
The audience by which lhey were greeted
was composed of the very best element OF
Sedaiis's society. In fact, all elssses pa,
their shoulders TO the wheel 10 assist ia the
laudable object of relieving the necessities
OF the worthy INDECENT persons OF ,hi-
city.
The play was presented in splendid sivls,
the various members of the orr sniz alton
having improved wonderfully -irce i..e for
nner rendition of the play before a S.da.ia
audience.
The play throughout was we'll rendered
but the grsndes, deiineation o! passion q -
In the third and fourth ac;s. A Eler piece
of acting than that Of MIR. Lsiorr. in the
fourth act, IN the 'Msi Scene ia. been
seldom witnessed on our stage.
Mrs. Latour, az Rose FEEDING" saaIed
the honors with her bn band.
Miss Gussie Heisme~er, az "Meg," wc-
exc llent, and was greeted frequently by
rounds OF applause.
Julius Saetiele, though laboring under a
disadvantage, on account Of having taken,
on but short notice, the part Of Aug u.s.
tns.'' did admirably.
Miss Mabel Van Camp delighted the
audience with beautiful solo in The third
act.
TIE gross proceeds of the evenings en-
tertainment will probably amount to $500,
and AZ the expenses was nothing, the hail,
music, advertising, etc. all being contrib
uted gratuiioasly, the amount which the
poor relief fund will realize from the
Thesrisn benefit will be a neat sum of
money.
The Thespians' deserve great credit for
their lihsrality In presenting this play for
the benefit of the poor, and il should
be remembered that since their organic alton
they hsve donated 81 500 TO the poor Of
Sedslia.
Our citizens should hence b, proud OF the
organization, and when IFS members appear
ca the boards again they are entitled to .
very liberal patronage st the hands OF all
Sedalisns.
