MOUSE PLAGUE.
The Terrible Destruction Wroughe by
Rodents in q Brazilian Province.

The Terrible Destruction wrought BY
Rodents in a Brazilian Province.
In the colony of Lourenco, Brazil, in
the months of May and June, 1876. mice
suddenly appeared in enormous num-
bers They invaded the grain fields in
such large numbers that the corn
seemed literally alive with them, de-
stroying in few DAYS every thing that
was edible; and where, but short time
before. bushels of grain might have
been harvested, not an ear remained
! and the noise produced by their nibbling
and climbing was audible for a con-
| siderable distance. When the corn
fields were devastated the potatoes next
| received their attention. Only the
| largest were eaten in the ground; such
as were transportable were hidden
away in hollow trees or other retreats
for future use. Gourds and pumpkins
even the hardest, were gnawed through
and eaten. Of green food, such as
clover, oats. barley, not a leaf was left
standing; even weeds were cut down
and the inner parts eaten out.
In the house the struggle for exist
ence of these long-tailed invaders was
truly amazing. In many of the dwell
ings hundreds were killed in single
dav. The cats could contribute but
little aid in fighting such plague, for
not only were many of the rats so large
| that it would have been an unequal con-
| test, but by their great number they
| drove the cats actually from the houses.
not to return until the plague was
passed. Nothing, except what was
composed of iron, stone or glass, was
spared from their destructiveness.
Furniture. clothes. hats. books-every
i thing-bore the traces of their teeth.
They gnawed the hoofs IF the COWS, and
horses in the stables, literally ate up
fatted hogs, and often bit away the hair
of persons during sleep. They .pene-
trated all apartments and gnawed their
way through boards and walls of
houses. bitches that were dug about
granaries did not suffice; the mice
would climb over each other and thus
reach the top.
The foregoing account of one occur
renee in Lourenco will suffice to,show
to what an extent the plague reached.
The same province had suffered similar
ly in 1843 and 1868. and in all probable
ity will again in 1889. Similar plaques.
though far less in extent, have occurred
in Europe in which the field mice I'M
accountably appeared in greatly i'm
creased numbers. One may well think
what would be the result were these
little, almost insignificant. creatures
everywhere in such wise to take the
ascendency. When one considers that
an average of every one or two months
from five to eight are born. and that
these young become mature in few
months themselves, he will be surprised
to know that single pair of common
field mice in the course of q single sum-
mer would increase to twenty-three
thousand rodents. Could all the condi-
tions which now keep them in check be
removed every living thing on earth
would be consumed in half dozen
wears. Science s@ -

A Characteristic Endorsement on the
Record of u Federal Official Who
Thought the Presidents Order Amount

The suspensions of District Attorneys

of the sincere purpose behind that or

the United States District Attorney for
the Western district of Missouri. I'm
mindful of the Presidents order he
was making a regular stumping tour
of his State, with appointments atfver-
tised for nearly every evening up to
the eve of election. He can keep his
appointments now, but it will not be
at the expense of the United States.

for like offense.

Gus partisan sneers. Here in Chicago

attention to the business for which

contrast with the conduct of their pred

the mighty mountains never looked
down upon this valley when it wore a
more more happy holiday aspect. In
the early morning, stream of teams,
loaded down with gay pienickers, filled
every avenue leading to the camp meet
ing grounds. The camp was delightfully."-
situated amid grove of young trees,
where at least $50 people partook Of a
large amount of acknowledged chicken,
and limited amount Of religion I'm
usual to such places, a saloon near by
furnished liquor to those who required
it, but not sign Of drunkenness or dis
order was discernible. These annual

From these gentlemen we learn that
Morris & Filing of Virginia City have
bonded the Arkansaw mine, belonging

months, paying for the privilege $4,000,
with the understanding that not one
pound of ore is to be removed from the
dump during that time.
The Revenue Gold Mining Company
are opening up a fine body of ore, and
expect to have their machinery in oper-
alton III two weeks.
