Washington, lit is charged in con-
nection with the star route trials that
Sen tor Kellogg, Of Louisiana, was con-
cted with the paymen of certain post

let to Price for S2,77S per annum, SER
vice to be two trips per week on q sched-
ule of forty hours. Four trips were
added Of Septem her 1st, 1873, two months
after the beginning Of the term Of
four years, and on August lst, 1879, the
running time was reduced to 29% hours.
Fer this expedition Rice was given 81

contractor.
Extraordinary pressure was brought to
prevent the indictments on account of
his route. Many charges are being
made of United States senator being
with the matter, and it is an
open secret that the senator with respect
TO whom these charges are made is Kel-
logg, of Louisisns. Mr.. Kellogg has
nothing to say at present, but will await
further developments before he states his
case to the public. His friends say he
will have a good explanation to give as
to the origin Of the rumor, and that there
Is no legitimate basis for the charge, and
that personal luminosity growing out Of
Louisiana politics is at the root of the
matter.

THE RATS CUNNING.

A few nights ago man who resides at
No. "a North Main-streei, while sitting chat
ting with friend, observed large rat make
its appearance throu5h hole leading from
under sink The rat, finding that the
room was not deserted, ran across the floor
into small bedroom where there are no
holes when the door is shut through which
1t could escape. The men feeling sure that
the rat was cornered, shut the door of the
room and with sticks insituated vigorous
search. Although everything movable was
turned upside down, the rat could not be
found, so the search was relinquished till
morning. During the night the rat tried to
gnaw its way out badly defacing the frame
work on both sides of the door. Search was
renewed next morning, with the assistance
of dog, and everything again was displaced
without discovering his ratship. The dog
suddenly stopped prowling under the bed
and persisted in remaining at the window
sill. This attracted the attention Of one of
the amateur rat-catchers, who, upon looking
out, discovered the rat sitting on the extreme
edge of the stonework outside the window.
1t had forced hole through the screen net
ting, and while the two men were searching
inside the room it was sitting quietly on the
outside. As soon as the rat observed that
its retreat was discovered by one of the men,
quick as flash 1t re-entered through the
small hole it had made in the screens and
few furiously at its prosecutor, seizing him
between the thumb and first finger of the
right hand. The dog made spring and
caught the rat by the body, killing it in

MORRISON HEApY.


Blind Us n bat, Deaf nv n Post, Net ~ Poet.
One of the most remarkable products OF
humanity known to this generation is Nor
rison Heady, of Kentucky. He is blind as q
bat and deaf as post, and laboring under
such disadvantages that il would be wonder
full il he could do anything, or had learned
anything he is marvel of mechanical dex-
terity, of inventive genius, and of clear and
quick cogitation. One seeing him walking
the streets of Louisville with head erect and
strong tread, holding little boy by the
hand, would not suspect his disabilities, nor
watching him at the counter of hardware
store purchasing knife, would an observer
think anything of the matter, unless he hap
pened to note that the dealer spoke no
word, but only touched the hand of the Gus
toner.
Among his inventions is a leather glove,
with the letters of the alphabet PAINTED on it.
You can talk to him as fast as you can touch
those letters with the end of your finger.
Another of his inventions is mechanical
writing machine, with which he can write
Hilu Otleib GILL Aue
pricks its way along the paper, and he can
read his own writing by the sense of touch
Others can use the machine to write out for
him anything not procurable in blind type,
and he can then read 1t with his fingers and
indirectly have access to the literary gems
which would otherwise be a sealed book to
him. Usually blind man can hear, but 1t
is useless to read to Heady. His speech is
as clear and sharp as that of o man of edu-
cation combined with great force Of VIII and
perfect faculties. Since he cannot hear
himself speak, the fact is remarkable psy-
chic puzzle-for tho best of us learn accu-
racy of pronunciation and distinctness OF
enunciation, by dint of long practice and
study, educating ourselves by the aid of our
ears and eyes.
Among his other accomplishments this
man numbers the art of poetry. Several
years ago he published volume of poetry.
At every point he is master. 1ambic pen
tameter rolls from his machine as easily as
iambic tetrameter rippled from SCOTS pen.
The reader who has never seen this mans
poetry will be incredulous, but glance down
few pages Of hexameter will convince any
one that Heady can write any sort of poetry
he likes.--Neao Orleans PicGyuns.

GREET MORAL LESSON AT G meeting OF
some colored Methodists in Kentucky 1t was
decided to make collection. The president
passed the hat himself, and in order to en-
courage others he put in ten cent piece.
After the collection, during which every
hand had been in the hat, the president ap-
preached the table, turned the hat upside
down, and not even his own contribution
dropped out. He opened his eyes in astonish-
ment and exclaimed 80 goodness, but

Then there was CONSERVATION on the faces of
the assembly. Who was the lucky? That
was the question. He could not blush or
turn pale, for all was black as night. 1t was
evidently hopeless case, and was summed

and said, solemnly. "Dar pears to be a
