RATS AS PETS.
The Interesting Collection Of 9
Prisoner in the Bastille.

Though the rat can be fierce when
called upon to defend its life, there
is a softer side to it's character which
is often brought out by contact with
man. Many instances of this could
be adduced similar to that OF the
omnibus conductors tame rat, says
the Cornhill Magazine, which used
to mount guard over its master S
dinner and fly savagely at any one
who ventured to come near 1t. Inc
animal had been caught during the
removal of some hay, and spared
because of the piebald coat. 1t was
very attached to it's owners chill
dren, and would play about them
as merrily as a kitten. On cola
nights it slept in its masters oeu'
nesting as closely to him as !"
chicken to its mother.
In his memoirs, NJ. de la Iude, a
Frenchman who fell under the dis
Measure of Nine. de Pompadour
in 1849, and was consequently I'M
prisoned in the Bastille and other
fortresses for thirty-five years, tells
how he alleviated the tedium of his
captivity by making companions OF
some rats. He was much annoyed
for years by the. rats, which at
nightfall swarmed into his cell
hunting about for scraps of food,
and sometimes biting his face when
he was asleep. They entered by a
hole which ventilated his dungeon ;
twas about two feet above the floor,
and under it were two steps on
which he used to sit and breathe
the fresh air as it entered. While
seated there one day he noticed a
large rat at the other end of the
hole, and threw it fragment OF
bread. This was snatched up, and
was followed by more pieces until
his supply was exhausted.
The next day, at the same time,
the rat was there again, and by
throwing bread crumbs so that they
fell nearer and nearer to him the
prisoner gradually induced his Wis
itor to approach until it finally
took piece from his hand. In a
few days time it was so tame that
it would sit on his kuee, washing
its face and eating what scraps were
given to it. One day it brought a
companion, which became friendly
almost at once, and after a little
while the two rats took up their
permanent residence inthe dungeon.
They occasionally went out through
the hole, generally returning with
another rat, and each newcomer
made itself at home. until eventu-
ally NJ. de la Tude's cell was PEG
pied by a family of ten of these
rodents. He taught them all to
recognize the names he gave them,
and used to play with them fol-
hours together. They learned from
him number of tricks, and showed
quite spirit of rivalry in the way
they went through their perform

A Yankees Device.

Unhappy parents who, whenever
they seek for flats, run against the
sutocratic "No children permitted
in this building" should take leaf
from the experience of cute Yam
kee with four children, says writer
in the New York Star. He moved
to this city last spring, and he and
his wife, after few days in the
hotel, went fiat hunting. Wherever
they went they met this objection
against children. His wife became
discouraged and wanted to 60 back
to their rural home in New England,
where their children had had the
range of a large yard and garden.
But our Yankee friend was a man
of resources. He put on his think
ing cap one evening, and the next
morning he started out by himself,
leaving Mrs. Yankee at the hotel
with the children. Attic first house
where he found a fat which suited
him this dialogue with the janitor
took place:
"What is the rent Of this hat?"
mine hundred dollars a year"
81 will lease it for a year if there
are no children in the house. / will
not take it if there are any"
"There are not any. You may
depend upon that"
This maneuver threw the agent
of the fiat off his guard. Nothing
was asked Of our Yankee about the
possession of children by him. The
lease was made out and executed,
the advance payment was made,
and then he moved in, wife, children
and all. There was grand tableau
of Indignation on the part of the
owner Of the fiat. Bnt there the
Yankees were, young and old, and
there they'll be until the LIST of next
May. Nothing can get them out

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, April 19.-The Evening
POSTS financial article says: The past
week was noticeable for q material
change for the better in the character Of
the stock market, and up to
the close of yesterday the advance
in prices over the closing of last Satur-
day was p to AZ per cent. The i'm
provement was greatest on coal stocks.
The advance on Granger and Southwest
ern stocks was 15@155 per cent. South
ern stocks were dull with the exception
OF Louisville and Richmond Terminal,
which were active and higher. The i'm
portant factors in the advance were
the improved condition of the money
market, the movement of currency IN
this direction and buying on the part OF
the bears to cover short contracts. Daily
reports from the West have been of a
bearish character, but the value Of
such statements is well realized,
and they were without any effect
to influence the price for stocks.
To-day's market was unusually active
for Saturday, sSd prices for all stocks
were higher than yesterday, the highest
prices for the week having been made
of the bank statement at 1I:45 was
somewhat of disappointment, in that
the increase in the surplus reserve was
only SS72 ,050, which was less than was
expected, and during the last fifteen
minutes of business prices sold off 16G Il.
The gain IN the money reserve was only
S533, 400, but deposits were re-
duced 81, 354 800, making a reduc-
ton of S33S $50 in the required
reserve. Loans were contracted for 81, -
7ss 200. The statement does not indl-
cate the actual condition of the banks at
the close of the week, which ls consider
ably stronger than to@dey's returns
make il appear. The feeling at the close
Of the week was more bullish than for
some time past but after the large ad-
vance OF the past week. reaction in prices
would cause no surprise.

An Interesting Memorial That VIII Be Placed
on Exhibition Monday.
In 1876, when the Texas Veterans
association met at Galveston, the Wash
ington Guards occupied the post of honor
as an escort. John n. King, now with
the Anderson gun store, was then cap
tain of the guards land gave the veterans
a rich banquet; and afterwards had them
all visit a photograph gallery and have
their photos taken.
There were 1874 of them, and the plot
ures were arranged together and large
photograph of the whole taken together.
The picture framed is about four by FIVE
feet in dimensions and cost Capt. King
SIP. Since that time il has been hang
ing in the cotton exchange at Galveston
aud last night Capt. King sent telegram
ordering the picture to be safely packed
and expressed to this city. It will arrive
to-day or Monday morning at the latest
and will be placed on exhibition in the
show windows OF Anderson IS gun store.
Capt. King Is anxious TO meet the vet
Grams, many ef whom he is personally &C
quainted with, and the veterans them
selves will be glad to see this memorable
of their meeting fourteen years ago, and
note what change those years have made
in their ranks and appearance. 1t is not
often that an association composed of SO
many members has q chance to meet it
self after the lapse OF so many years.

game between Houston and Waco was
an interesting contest. Both sides went
in with a determination to win, and each
played its best. There were no spe-
cial features to the game, except
homs runs by Lewis aud Fuller,
but they were both made when there was
no one on bases, and only counted run
each. Kittle pitched good game, and
was well backed up by Land, and had it
not been for the fine hesdwork of Pitcher
WeIkart in critical places, Waco would
have won the game. cliffs catch
ing was fine, and not base was
stolen On him. Smith, who umpired the
game, did worse than yesterday. He is
''McLaughlin No. 2.'' He does not
know the rules, is faulty in his de-
cIsions and is familiar with the
players, which causes them to
lose their respect for him and
his position. Rotten umpiring Is having
its effect on gate receipts, and the sooner
the league management look to this point
the better. following is the score:
