Some portions OF Montreal are so overrun
with rats, that the voracious rodents fall upon
cats and devour them.
The cattle quarantine at Point Levi, oppo-
site Quebec, is said to have had most excel
lent and satisfactory effect.
Judge Potter, of Rhode Island, on applica-
ton of Mrs. Sprague's counsel, has assigned
the second Monday in January for the hearing
of the Sprague divorce case.
The president appoints Mr.. Chandler as
member of his cabinet if Gen. Grant does not
object A great and manly position for Mr..
Chester A. Arthur to occupy. Who is presi-
dent, anyhow?
Col. Moulton, brother-in-law of ex-Secre-
tary Sherman, denies under oath before the In
vestigating committee, that his brother-in-
law made any misappropriation OF the contin-
gent funds as alleged.
1t lie alleged that friend who knew Gen.
Garfeld's views thoroughly, declares that had
he lived, he never would have aided Mahone in
any way, SO utterly was he opposed to any
thing sayoring of reputation.
Tha feeling in Hamilton, Canada, is very
strong against the assassin, Guiteau. His
efigy was hung by the neck to telegraph
pole in that city recently, and many persons
looking on it proposed that it be rfddled with
bullets, with such detestation is the foul as
sassln held in that city.
The Dorsey star route combination covered
parts of sixteen states and territories, and con-
sisted of 134 routes, the original contract pay
on which was s143, 1882. But Brady allowed
the combination pay for increased trips bring
ing the amount up to S622,SO5. A precious
lot of patriots are these star route thieves.
Mrs. Scovlle, sister of the assassin, has
left Washington and gone to her home in
Chicago. She was getting to be nearly as
wild as the assassin himself pretended to be,
| and it was thought best to remove her from
the strain of the constant excitement, lest she
might go clean daft.
The New York World significantly asks:
"Does any one suppose the names of three
such Democrats as Mr.. Randall, Mr.. Blount
| and Mr.. Holman were accidentally omitted
| by Speaker Keifer for the list of the house
| committee on appropriations" To ask the
question is to answer it.
One of the immortal 1905" third termers
| at Chicago, in 1880, Dave Menot by name, has
been sent to the penitentiary in Philadelphia,
| for two years for violation Of election laws.
The number of the faithful in working order
is now reduced to 3O5. How many of that
number of immortals ought to follow Menot
| has not yet been ascertained.
The other day, in Quincy, Ills, Sam Porter
went to the house OF Mrs Somers, widow
woman, and commenced an assault upon her.
She fled to the door yard. The brute pursued
| her and knocked her down. Her boy, aged IS
years, seized a stone and hurled it at the as
sailant, which, striking him on the temple
killed him instantly. That boy is looked upon
| as hero.
The New York Sun wickedly reminds office
beggars that President Arthur is in the city
| and that it would be good time to pay him
their respects, and indicate their wishes to re-
ceive office in any of the departments at Wash
ington, not even emitting the cabinet. Do Mr..
Sun give the poor man a rest, and let him eat
his New Years turkey with his family, with
out having stalwart office beggar thrown in
as desert.
The political syndicate at Chicago in June,
| 1880, was composed of the senatorial trium-
virate, Conkling, Cameron and Logan. The
titman of the gang it is now said wants to be
| the stalwart candidate for President in 1884.
ae then goes back on the third term aspira-
tons of Grant, ignores Arthur as his own

lose cast with the Machine Bosses and be
turned cut of the syndicate. "Black Jack"
will, undoubtedly, be president some-day in
horn
| The New York Sun says "two New Workers
| besides Mr.. Arthur have held the office of
President of the United States-Martin Van
Buren,, the sage of Undertook, and Mlllard
Fillmore, of Buffalo. There is still another
| New Yorker, Samuel j. Tilden, who was
elected President, but whose office was, by
fraudulent means, put into the hands of a
man now sunk in abasements, through whom
| fraud was first triumphant in American his
tory. Van Buren,, Fillmore and Tilden were
born in New York. Arthur was born in Yer
mont
"Gath" says: But one comment is heard
on Speaker Keifer's committees-that he was
elected on trade, kept up the trade, and will
probably not stop it with the formation of the
committees. Don Cameron. by giving Penn
| sylvania important committees and places on
all the big COMMITTEES, will get correspond
| ing amount of credit at home. Meantime, the
Liberals are mildly pacifed by having Hiscock
put at the head Of the appropriation commit
tee, which is the principal talking place on
the floor, aad makes one the leader of the
| house.
At recent cabinet meeting the question of
organizing better form Of government for
Alaska and enforcing its recognition by the
| natives was informally discussed. The trouble
with the cowboys on the Mexican border also
received attention, and it is believed that some
| action will soon be taken to protect the from
tiers of both the SHIFTED States and Mexico
| from depredations by this class OF marauders
| Another subject considered was the establish,
ment of Geographic communication between
| the United States, Chill and Peru. An Amer
lean company is making arrangements to that
end, and the question before the cabinet was
how far the support of this country could be
