ALI ABOUT RATS.
The Brown and the Black, ana iheh
Enmity to One Another.

The black and brown rats are par
ticularly deserving of notice, and are
the most widely distributed over the
world. 1t is not known where or no"
they were introduced into Europe first,
but it must have been in recent times
AZ the ancients did not know them.
They both appear to be natives OF the
central part of Asia. The brown rat
found its way to Europe in the begin
ming of the eighteenth century, and
reached Britain and the western coun-
tries Of Europe about the middle OF
that epoch. The Jacobites of Britain
had the nCtitn that they came with the
house OF Hanover as they appeared
about that time, and. therefore, chose
to call them the HauOVerian rat lhey
are sometimes enormously called the
Norway rat.
The brown rat is larger and more
powerful than the black rat, and they
are deadly foes. The brown rat has
succeeded In causing IN almost total
disappearance Of the black rat IN
nIacas where it was very numerous.
According to Mr. Rodewell's theory,
the manner in which the brown rat
has supDlanted its black foe is by love
instead of war. The browns, being
the stronger. carry of the females Of
the black. by fr,o. and thus he ac-
counts for the curious kind Of partj-
colored offspring which may be found
in France. These rats infcst ships,

THE pEoAooaUE's wooINo.

rhe Pedagogue among his pupils had
A maiden fair.
BE loved her, who would mott Her eyes were
soft
And turned to his with saucy glance full Oft;
And when his tiresome Latin put her out,
Her pretty lips were all too prone to pout;
he longed TO kiss them-love had made him
But did not dare.
One morn he met her on the way to school.
The hour was late
But wait he would not, could not. Thus he
sighed:
"Sweet maid. I prithee, be my beauteous bride
Already has thou marked nor need tell,
That | have loved thee long, and passing well !;
Nor time nor absence can my passion cool;
Let's conjugate!"
"Ah" with arch modesty replied the ialt,
THAT would be fine:
But It's impossible, for as thou know'st,
Small stock Of learning can thy pupil boast
The first declension now absorbs my thoughts
The verb have not yet at all been taught
can not conjugate; all may dare
Is TO decline."

Married in Jail.

Last Wednesday morning about half
past 10 o'clock, Sheriff Richey told your
correspondent that he had some import.
ant business at the jail for him. We
Immediately proceeded to that place, not
having any intimation of the purpose OF
our visit, and upon reaching the jail that
official invited us to have seat. In halt
an hour he, armed with the Methodist
discipline, invited us to go up stairs with
him, and in about two minutes ayoung
man aud lady stepped out Of one of the
cells, arm in arm, and presented them
selves before the sheriff and about twenty
other persons to be married. The contract
ing parties were L. G. Powell, who is aery.
irg sentence, and Miss Josephine Powell,
Of Rocky Bottom.
The Sheriff with all the precision and
pomp of bishop read the Methodist
ceremony and occasionally he would in.
interline with his own language.
It was certainly romantic marriage,
as it was understood that the parties had
intended to marry, but the groom was
arrested, tried and sentenced to eighteen
months in Jail for violation ofthe revenue
laws. Determined that Uncle Sam should
not interfere with their happiness, the
young woman came to the Jail, and they
we're made husband and wife.
Congratulations were extended by those
present, wishing them long, prosperous
and happy life with joyous Honeymoon.

we could get more Of them than Of any
other. We select the best part of the
paper, dividing it into 6velessons. We
do not allow them to read in school any
crimes, murders; love stories, or any
thing that will not instruct as we'll as

study the lesson, but read just as though
they were reading for their own enter.

A Novel AIrship.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-Next Mon.
day, at Rising Sun Park, Charles Angus.
tus Kinsel, an Ingenious young German
living at Eighth and Chestnut streets,
Camden, will attempt to ascend to the
clouds and sail through the air in a
mammoth air,hip which he is building
in the rear Of his home. It is a queer.
looking flying machine. Kinsel has
utilized four cared skiff as car, fitting
it With rudder and wings The whole
is to be buoyed up in the air by means
of three balloons containing $4,000 cubic
feet of gas. Kinsel's airshipis is surround,
ed with heavy wooden framework,
above which are heavy iron stays and
beams, to which an iron frame is fasten-
ed. The balloons will be attached to this
superstructure, which rises about six feet
over the boat or car.
The rudder, of the strange craft consists
of an iron frame about four feet square,
over which will be strapped canvas. The
wings on either side are designed both as
a steering and propelling apparatus.
They can be folded or shifted at the will
of the navigator. On each side of the
boat rise two masts about ten feet high.
Sails will be spread from them to very
long bowsprit. In addition to the wings
there is paddle wheel on either side OF
the. boat. This latter device has been
patented by Mr.. Kinsel, who thinks that
the weight of his airship, without ballast
or cargo of any kind, will be about ], 800
pounds. BE expects to be able to carry
up with him five or Fix persons. He is
confident of success.
He explained to reporter in broken
English and with the help of an inter
prefer that he has experimental eight
years on his machine, a large portion Of
his work being done while serving as q
soldier in Germany. He made several
ascents therein the balloons attached to
the imperial service. he thinks that he
can attain speed of from seventy to
eighty miles an hour with his machine,
and will be able to guide it in any direc.
ton at will. His ballons are constructed
Of heavy canvas, and before besDg infiat.
ed will receive coat of heavy paint,
which will render them imperVious to the
gas. Kinsel will take with him three
parachutes, with which to.descend to the
ground in case Of accident. He and his
assistants have been secretly working this
airship for some time. Mr. Kinsel has
applied for patents covering every portion
of his apparatus, and has forwarded q
working model to Washington along with
his application.

Poisoned by Toadstools.

Thomas Lacy, native of Ireland, died
Monday night at Woods fish pond near
the city, from the effects Of eating poison
Gus mushrooms which he had mistaken
for the edible variety. The deceased
came to Greenyille stranger about two
months ago. and since that time he has
been staying with Wilt. Wood. at his
house near the ponds. He vas man of
great native intelligence; had travelled
extensively and displayed evidences of 8
fine education. He was a pleasing con.
versationalist, and had made a number
of friends in the neigborhood where he
stayed. He was about 40 years Of age.
Mr.. Lacy had several times declared
that be believed the mushrooms he found
growing in the neighborhood of the fish
ponds were the same as those so much
esteemed by epicures as the most @sthe.
tic and refined article offool, but be had
been warned by the negroes on the place
that the mushrooms. which they called
"toadstools," we're poisonous. Last
Thursday, however, be determined to
test the matter and accordingly gathered
some of the growth, had them cooked
and ate them. At. midnight that night
he became very ill. A doctor was sum.
moned and symptoms of poisoning soon
developed which the physician traced
directly to the mushrooms that had been
eaten. The victim of the experiment
suffered on till Monday night when he
died.
The body was buried at Laurel Creek
Baptist church yesterday afternoon with
appropriate funeral exercises conducted
by the Rev. w. j. Randolph. Mr.. Wood
