The Trade Rats Of Arizona.

A miner near the Senator recently
had rather singular experience with
trade rats, known also as mountain
rats. AS the nights were cold the
miner took his ore sack to replenish
his rather hard bed. Having neglected
to come to town for several weeks,
his supply of beans had given out, and
he had come down to diet of straight
bacon. Considerably out of humor, he
started in to pull his bed to pieces one
morning, and in removing the sacks
was agreeably surprised to find three
pounds of beans, with little coffee
mixed, which the trade rats had
brought from the Senator and stored
in his bed.
The rats are native Americans and
very different from their imported
Norway cousins. They are called trade
rats because they generally leave some
article in exchange for what they take
away.
The miner states that he never killed
trade rate; that these rodents habit
ually steal from one cabin and carry
their plunder into an adjoining one;
that on one occasion he spilled couple
of quarts of corn on the floor of bis
cabin, and the next morning found
the rats had stored away every grain
of it in pair Of saddle bags hanging
upon the wall.
He also states that the rats have
thick caudal appendages, about three
inches in length, which they keep con-
stantly throwing up and down, striking
the floor with each downward move
ment with the regular, measured
stroke of musical professor marking
time. They carry off plugs of tobacco,
tooth brushes, combs and brushes, in
fact, anything which they can manage
to move.-[PIescott( (Arizona) Courier.

Not a Disqualification.

In the first session of the Superior
Court. on Tuesday, while Judge Sher-
man listened to the various excuses of
men who did not want to serve on the
jury, Lawyer Samuel Hoar told a neat
little story of his father, Judge Eben-
eZer lockwood Hoar.
''One of the jurors whom father had
impaneled," said the lawyer, "once
came to him with the request that
father excuse him from serving.
"'Why do you wish to be excusedP
he was asked.
"'Because, your Honor, / am deaf
in one ear
"sThat will not make the slightest
difference replied the Judge. The
grand jury hears evidence only on one
side of the case.' '"-[Boston Herald.

Surprising Discovery.

For some weeks citizens Of Spring
field, o., have been living in constant
terror of some one who, lying in wait
for passers-by seemed to take dendish
delight in clubbing them with heavy
iron rod. The other night James
Curry saw figure Sinking along the
street under the shadow Of fence.
Curry soon caught up with the man,
when the latter turned, knocked him
down, and then rushed towards the
open country.
The pursuers gradually gained on
him. He suddenly stopped and rushed
towards them, armed with short club.
So terrible was his appearance the
whole crowd turned and run. The
man then rushed back towards town.
The crowd soon recovered courage
and followed. Suddenly the man
rushed towards the house occupied
by one of the most prominent and
wealthy citizens of the place, Mr..
William Bender. Quickly opening
the door, he rushed inside. The pur-
suers rushed in after him. What was
their amazement to find the man lying
on lounge, pale as death. with blood
shot eyes. 1t was the master OF the
house, William Bender. He confessed
that he had committed the assaults, and
