A Novel Rat Poison.

Enormous business has been done lately
AZ French fairs by man who professed TO
sell a rat powder that was perfectly harm
less. and that struck rats dead on the spot
In order to convince the skeptical, the
man first of all powdered slice of bread
With the stnff and ate piece of it himself
Then he put lhe remainder under a glass
case, in which a rat was kept in captivity
The rat went to eat the bread and instant
ly fell dead. At five pence a box the pow
der went off like hot rolls, and the lucky
proprietor of the specific was in fair way
to make a fortune. But the police, who IN
France are very active in protecting the
people from fraud, looked into the matter
and found that the powder was nothing
but ordinary sugar. They also discovered
that the case was connected with a power
fol electric battery, and that the moment
the rat touched the bread the current was
turned on, and it was thus his death was
brought about The man was arrested at
the fair of Abb.

THE Republicans of New York won
their great victory in city and State las;
November, but are now divided into two
great factions. Both are maneuvering
for position in 1896, so as to control the
delegates to the presidential convention.
One is headed by "Boss" Platt, for many
years in control of the party machinery.
The other is equally aggressive and is led
by Mayor Strong, Chairman Brookfeld
and others. Platt will make vigorous
fight before he is overthrown, as it is q
matter OF lite and death to him to remain
on top. Each has his favorite candidate
for the presidency. Platt favors Thomas
b. Reed, whilst his opponents have Will
liam Mckinley in view. Whilst Platt has
been boss, he was no match in astuteness
for Hill, the Democratic boss, and it is
doubtless wise on the part of the Repub-
icans to break away from his control,
which had only selfish ends to further.
Meanwhile the contest between these two
factions may prove hurtful to both Reed
and Mckinley, and make advisable the
nomination OF Harrison, Lincoln or
Allison, or some one else.

all to be ready to fee to higher ground,
