Rats in a New Light.

/ have seen and handled a pair OF
tame rats belonging to some young
friends, and prettier, more playful,
and intelligent pets could not be i'm.
agined. They were accustomed to run
about on the table atmeal times. They
never stole food; but when anything
was offered them they sat up on their
hind legs, held the morsels between the
fore paws and ate daintily.
They were fond of game which !
saw them play. The rats were put
into the boys cap, which was hung on
the hatstand in the hall. The boy and
his sister then went to the top of the
house and whistled. At the sound of
the whistle the rats jumped out of the
cap, scrambled to the floor. and then
ran up the stairs and perched on their
owners shoulders.
The general idea of the rat is that it

Butler.

How Peleg Chandler Downed Ben.
Butler.
An anecdote illustrative of Mr..
Chambers character is told at the ex-
pense of Gen. Butler. When he was
quiet a young man, having but recent
ly entered practice. he was called TO
defend a case at Lowell. Butler, or
one of his clients, had purchased a
piece of real estate, in which a woman
claimed a right to a portion of the
rentals. A tenant paid his rent to her
and Butler could not get possession.
The case was quite celebrated one.
Choate had been in it and several OF
the distinguished lawyers of the day.
Yet still Butler had the best of it, and
the utmost that the opposing lawyers
had been able to do was to obtain
poStponements from time to time upon
various pretexts. At length the case
was to come up again. The defend
ants lawyers had given it up, and as
last resort she came to young Chand-
Ter. He appeared in the defense. Gen.
Buffers owbeating methods in court
are as well known as the man himself.
He tried them on the young man. But
for once he met his match. Those who
remember the occasion still roar with
laughter at the remembrance of Chand-
ler's thirteen ''stories of the cock-eyed
man." which he poured, one after an
other, relentlessly upon Buffers de-
voted head, and, as the slang phrase
of the present day is, fairly wiped the
floor with him. Judge, bar, jury. and
spectators fell into a tumultuous up
roar of laughter, which no officers
even attempted to quell. At the close
of his anecdotes Mr.. Chandler gravely,
although his talk had not so much as
touched the case, asked for a continu-
ance and got it.
The next day the tenant of Mr..
Chambers client, an apothecary by
profession, called upon the lawyer
and asked what he should do in case
Mr.. Butler came to eject him by force.
Kill him." said Mr.. Chandler quiet
What" calculated the astonished
apothecary.
'.Shoot him through the head" in
sisted the lawyer.
Mr.. Chandler reached for pen and
wrote:
IF Benjamin F. Butler attempts to
eject you from the premises occupied
by you my advice is to shoot him
through the head
The next day Mr.. Butler appeared
with posse, prepared to eject the
apothecary. The latter showed him
his instructions.
''Pooh!' said Mr.. Butler, throwing
down the paper. If you should shoot
me YOU would hang
THAT is no affair of mine" returned
the apothecary. .'The advice of my
counsel is to shoot you if you modest
me, and l shall do it, he continued.
with blood in his eye, as he produced
a big seven-shooter.
I'D if l don't believe you would
be fool enough to shoot me-" said But
Ter. as he turned and left the shop.
He at once called upon Mr.. Chandler
and effected n settlement of the long
contested case, granting to the woman
a share in the rents which she claimed.

What She Knew About Tickers,

The small amount the average
woman knows about certain business
machinery that is perfectly familiar
to many men is of course no point
against her intelligence, but it is Il
rather conclusive proof of the fact that
her sphere is still very different from
that of the male half of humanity.
They were talking about the predic-
ament spectators would be in next
month when the Chicago ticker is
suppressed and nobody can find out
what the quotations are.
''By the way, maybe you don't I'M
derstand what such a business concern
as ticker is?" said a visitor to the
lady next to him.
"Oh. yes, l do, perfectly" she re-
pied in a tone that barred all further
investigation. But she confessed after
ward that she learned all she knew
about it from Bronson Howard's re-
markable play, "The Henrietta. -

SIGNALS SHERMAN UNDERSTOOD

The following story is told of Gen.
Sherman the time being just after his
failure to break Joe Johnson's front at
Kenesaw Mountain: cit was plain that
more thanking must be done, so the
Great Flanker' ordered Gen. Cox's divi-
sion of the Twenty third corps to make a
detour and threaten the enemy's left.
This involved long march and Gen.
Sherman made his way to the top of
| high hill, where we we're lying, to enable
| him to overlook the country and see
operations better. He sat on stump
with map spread out on his knees and
was giving Gen. Cox directions as to
his Tide of march. After doing this he
| mounted his aud started away, but after
having gone little distance he shouted
back: See here, Cox, burn few barns
| occasionally as you go along. I can't
understand those signal flags, but know
