Rats on Ships.

Rats greatly infest ships, and are by
them conveyed to every part OF the
world. So industrionsly do they make
hon,e,; for themselves in the numerous
craraies and corners in the hull OF a
shin. that it is impossible to get rid OF
them. Ships take out rats as well as
messengers and cargo every voyage;
whether the former remain in the ship
at port is best known to themselves.
When the East India company had
ships of their own they employed a rat
catcher. who sometimes captured 500 rats
in Il ship just returned from Calcutta.
The ship rat is often the black species.
Sometimes black and brown inhabit the
same vessel, and unless they carry on
perpetual hostilities The one party will
keep in the head of the vessel and the
other to the stern. The ship rat is very
anxious that his supply of fresh water
shall not fail; he will come on deck
when it rains, and climb up to the wet
sails to suck them. Sometimes he mis-
takes a spirit cask for a water cask, and
he gets drunk. A captain on an Ameri-
can ship is credited Tor discredited) with
an ingenious bit of sharp practice as a
means of clearing his ship from rats.
Having discharged a cargo at a port in
Holland, he found his ship in juxtopo-
sition to another which had just taken
in a cargo of Dutch cheese. He laid a
plank at night from one vessel to the
! other; the rats, tempted by the odor,
trooped along the plank and began the
feast. He took care that the plank
| should not be there to serve them as a
pathway back again. and so the cheese
laden ship had a cruel addition to its
outward cargo.

An Incident of the Funeral.

A noticeable incident occurred at the
funeral of the late John Hugh yesterday.
A number of Indians had just arrived in
town and accompanied the procession to
the ceremonies. After the ceremonies
upon the part Of the Odd Fellows were
concluded, and while some of the fra
tcrnity we're assistingin filing the grave,
an old squaw, who seemed deeply inn
pressed by the ceremonies ,crept stealthily
up to the brink Of the grave, gently
dropped ahandful Of dirt upon the coffin,
devoutedly made the sign Oh the cross
and quietly retired, doing all SO unob-
trusivelv that but few observed her
kindly intended act.-Independeaf.

route proposed strikes Sheep creek just

four miles, then ascends the mountains

a road can be made without grading.

THE Chicago News, Republican, says
the difference between it and the Gin
cinnati Commercial, is that the Com
mercial thought Garfield unfit for can
didate for the Presidency before he was
nominated, while the News thought so
afterwards, and says:
We are tempted to ask what was said
or done by the late President to trans
form him from an Indifferent candidate
into an immortal statesman, whom it is
treason to regard az less than Lincoln
or a Washington? Will the Commercial
tell us? The News can not see that the
act of the assassin, Guiteau, made Gen
eral Garfield intrinsicallybetter or worse.
SO far as his integrity, his ability and
his craftsmanship are concerned, they
were no greater and no less than before
the act of the I'd of July.

Colonel DE Alma will be remembered as

removed him from Office. Being a some

THE IRREPREssIBLE ISSUE.

The Cambridge Jeffersonian pOintedly
calls for Civil Service Reform plank in
the State platform. The rank and file
of the Democratic party want to force
the issue. Following is the call:
There is a subject upon which Ohio
Democrats should speak out boldly in
the State platform. Mr.. Pendleton's
Civil Service Reform measures should
have the most full and emphatic en-
dOrsement. They are sustained by all
the broad and liberal men of the cOun-
try who are not masters or serVitOrs in
partisan politics. The Democracy should
sound a clarion blast for Civil Service
Reform. The next National campaign
will have the issue upon this subject
distinctly marked as between the princi-
pal parties. The vantage ground will
be with the Democracy, for the intelli-
gent thought of the country will be with
the party which advocates correction of
the enormous abuses of civil service.
These abuses threaten the subVersion of
Republicanism. They are sapping the
liberties of the people; they are dethrOn-
ing the popular voice and are corrupt
ing alike the morals as we'll as the busi-
ness of the country.

GILLESPIE in his Review meets the
charge of Mckinley organ that he op-
poses the Major because he, Gillespie,
was not reappOinted Postmaster at Alli-
ance. He says:
This has not been the first time that
Mckinley and his bureau have darkly
limited that our opposition arose from
personal disappointment" but it is the
first time they have dared to formulate
the charge, although repeatedly chal-
lenged to do so. That Mckinley has now
done so, furnishes the eighteenth reason
why he should not be nominated, for it
proves him again falsifier, as the fol-
lowing extracts from letters in our pos
session will clearly prove:
"YOu were at no time candidate for
reappOintment." - McKinley's letter,
dated December 10, 1880.
you said you had no favOTs to ask, as
you would not accept the reappointment
of Postmaster, if the office was rendered
to you" ."-Aultman's letter, dated April
81, 1882.
The writer was giving statement of
his interview with the editor of the Re-
view in the spring of 1880.

ineness of these extracts, they can see
the original letters by calling at this

HOME RULE FOR sCOTL AND AND IRE
LAND.

In a series of letters to the New York
Tribune, Mr.. Justin Mccarthy touches
upon one point that has always seemed
difficult of understanding to the casual
observer of Irish affairs. why do not
the Scotch clamOr for home ruleP" Her
lawmakers sit in London, too. How is
one 80 favored by long-reach legislation
as to make no complaint Setting aside
the closer hOmOgeneity of religion and
institutions that prevail in Scotland,
she has, In fact, a good measure of home
rule already. "She governs herself, al
though she does it in Westminster Palace,
and not in the old Parliament House in
Edinburg. The Lord Advocate of Scot
land has part in the administration of
Scotland something like that Of the
Irish Chief Secretary in the government
of Ireland. But when the LOrd-AdvOcate
of Scotland is about to bring in any
measure concerning that country. he
cOnvenes the Scottish members into
council of their own. He submits the
measure to them, cOnsults them on every
principle and every clause of it. All
their opinions are taken and given, and
thus, by this little Parliament within a
Parliament, the measure is shaped into
full accord with Scottish ideas. When
it comes before the House of Commons
it is explained or discussed mainly or
altogether by Scottish members. No
English or Irish member thinks of in
terfering. That is the manner in which
Scotland is governed, "and let me say"
adds this responsible witness, 'in JUS
tice to the Scottish members, that it
would be impossible to get them to as

land is forced to endure. Pittsburgh

In editOrially commenting on the de-
bate in the Senate on the spOils system,
the New York Times condemns with
scOrn Senator Hale's plea that the Hub
bell assessment is no worse than those
made by the Democrats in the times of
Pierce and Buchanan. 1t says:
The Republican party has claimed to
be party of ideas and principles, SuS-
tained by conscientious men, acting dis
interestedly for what they believed to
be the good of the country. 1t was as
serted in various ways that the Demo-
cratic party was party largely devoted
to spOils-hunting, held together by the
cohesive power of public plunder," and
made up in a great part OF Ignorant
persons under the guidance of skilled
but not very scrupulOus leaders. How,
then, can Democratic practice justify
Republicans in a measure which has no
reference whatever to principles or
ideas, and is based with cynical candOr
on the theory of the spOils-system? If
our party has degenerated into such an
organization as the Democratic party of
Buchanan's time, we may take that re-
spectacle "Old public functiOnary" as
our exemplar, and go on with the dirty
business in which our self-constituted
Congressional Committee is engaged.
But if that be our condition, in heavens
name let us acknowledge it, and give
way for another young party, which,
like the Republicans of the first Lincoln
campaign, shall expose the rOttenneSs
of too long lease of power, and arouse
the people as they were then aroused, to
place the Government in purer and
stronger hands.

CONGRESSMAN BUTTERwORTH, of Gin
cinnati, replied last week to Baynes
attack on the Arthur administration,
assailing the Democratic party and
claiming the Republican party as the
party of civil service reform. Somewhat
nettled, S. S. Cox arose and said:
will the gentleman answer me a
question:"
Certainly" said Ben, with bewitch-
ing suavity.
"What kind of a Civil Service Reform
is it," asked Cox, "that demanded the re-
mOval of Amor Smith as Collector of the
Internal Revenue in the gentleman's
own district and against his own pro-
test?"
This was clincher for Ben. He blushed
to the ears and took some time to recover.

UNITE AND PLUMBER.

Is the rule of the mOnOpOlists in Con-
gress; thereby securing special fayOrs
by which they rob the people of millions.
The sugar producers of Louisiana and
the steel manufacturers north, join
teams. The manufacturers of wooden
and cotton knit goods are in the ring,
so that they may get an extra quarter
or half dollar on every undershirt and
pair of drawers.
The sugar tax is a direct tax upon
every one, and is oppressive, all for the
benefit of few sugar planters, and not
to help the negro labOrer. The Bessemer
steel people make no fair divide of their
$50 per cent. of profits, with their la
bOrers.
A bill is now pending in the House to
reduce the tax Oh sugar. 1t will not
pass, for all the mOnOpOlists will unite
to prevent it, as it might endanger the
whole system of monopoly and robbery.
OF course, its passage would reduce to
the poor man the cost of living, materi-
ally. The Government collected in 1881
from imported sugars and mOlasses,
nearly fOrty-eight millions of dollars,
the entire quantity imported being
nearly two thousand millions of pounds.
The bill pending in the House was in
trOduced by Republican member from
Chicago, and the object is to reduce the
duty and to cheaper sugar, and also to
break up the glaring and scandalOus
frauds so boldly perpetrated by sugar
importers.

THE Boston Herald, in an article on
the reserves of the Banks of England,
France and Germany, says:
"The Bank of France has achieved an
improvement of condition so decided
that it far Overbalances the falling off
reported by the sister institutions. The
French NatiOnl Bank exhibits for the
twelVemOnth an increase of no less than
1925, ,258 in its gold, and decrease of
$16,509,6OO in its still excessive stock of
OverValued silver coin. The conflicting
movements result in an addition of $47,-
325, ,658 to the specie line. The excess of
silver has fallen from $119,399, ,428 to
$39,054 $40, a decrease of $50, ,344, 1853, or
rather more than twO-thirds. One year
ago the Bank of France held only 34.2
per cent. of its specie in gold, against
60.8 per cent. i'll silver. At present it
holds 45.4 per cent in gold, against $40
per cent. in silver, an improvement of
no less than 22.4 per cent. in the cOmpo-
sitiOn of its cash reserve"
How do you account for the improve
ment of the Bank of France when the
French have five times the quantity of
OverValued silver on hand that we have,
and OVeryalue it three per cent. beyond
the position of silver in the American
ratio of the precious metals?
