Havana. Dee. II. - Reliable reports
state that American citizens in ClenE
fuegos and that vicinity are indignant
over the searching Of the American
steamer Santiago at that port by the
police and civil guards. The indigna-
ton was heightened because the al
legged search was made at the sngges-
ton of American Consul McGarr. 1t
is charged against Mr.. McGarr that he
informed the authorities that, in his
Judgment. a search would result in
finding insurgent correspondence. AS
a matter of fact, the police discovered
nothing suspicious.

the hills, but Parrido Immediately or
dered an attack. and a fierce engage
ment ensued. Parrido had 1900 men,
and after n stubborn resistance the
rebels were compelled TO retire. carry
ing their dead and wounded along.
The rebel loss must have been heavy.

many wounded.

A report from Anderson. Indiana,
says: The eastern part of the county
has been overrun with rats during the
past six. months. Thousands Of them
have colonized over a radius of six
or seven miles. The farmers have
been fighting them in every way pos
sible but they continue to multiply
and ore taking everything in sight.
rne stories of the numbers that go in
droves have been d~iscredited by An
derson and Muncie people and, in or
der to prove their assertions, the
farmers took several out to one OF
their "rat drives recently. One of
the records that was made was twen-
ty-four rats by Superintendent Heaggy
OF the poor farm. who only discharged
his gun four times. Several other
records have been made at other times.
They are costing the farmers many
hundred dollars by underminging
wheat bins and burrowing into build
ings of all kinds. No theory has been
advanced which will satisfactorily ex-
plain where they came from. as this
section has been remarkably free from
rats in previous years.

No doubt a great deal of the wrang-
ling and hairsplitting in congress is
due to the great preponderance OF law
yers in both houses. Sixty OF the
eighty-nine senators and 245 OF the
1853 representatives are members of
the bar, the total of both houses be-
ing: Lawyers, 305; ali others, 142.
this looks like a very small proportion
of bread to an intolerable deal OF sack,
so to speak. 1t is an open question
whether lawyers are the best legisla-
tors, and it may be set down as GER
tain that the g~arrulousness character
istic of the gentlemen of the long robe
does not expedite business. Peter the
Greats opinion of the profession is
shared by a good many people even in
this age when lawyers appear to have
the start OF everyone else.

Sir Walter SCOTS writings do not
pass into eclipse behind the later pro-
ducts of genius. The Providence Pub
lie Library issues a bulletin from
which 1t appears that during ten years
a few books were drawn more than
three hundred and fifty times. Among
these were "Ivanhoe," Guy Manner
Ing" THE Bride of Lammermoor,'
and "Kenilworth." "Kenilworth" was
taken out six hundred and twenty-five
times. Thirty-fve years after Scott's
death a London bookseller would not
keep in his stalls a ~sixpenny edition Of
the Waverley novels. because they
killed the sale Of all other books. Ye'

the popular craving was not for pois'

man pleasure.
