Klectrio Comoauy's power house has
been a favorite lauding - place for
fishermen, who, in clear;'"g thoir net
and boats, have thrown aside many
worthless fish. This hs attracted
many rats, and the lumber piles a;id
docking had become fairly animate
with rats of all agt-s and sizes. So
many proved a nuisance and the em
ployes at the power house finally
decided to apply electricity to their
several cases. Accordingly a scries of
wires were run out from the dynamos
to a spot most frequented by the rats,
and around a piece of meat a few in
ches distant was laid a net work, ot
wires so that it was almost impossible
for Sir Rat to approach the savory
meat without touching two wires,
thus comoletiuz the circuit which
would cive Mr.lRat a shock sufficient
to kill immediately. 'Twas lun for
the bovs. but death to the rats. About
20 of them turned up their toes the
tirst evening between early dusk and
dark.

Some comment, geucrally unfavqr

cause of the fact that almost none pf
the Dublic men with whom the South
American and Mexican delegates Jto
th'e international congress have coma
in contact could speak Spanish with
them. It is put down by the critics
aa a reooach that this is the case.
But a little thought will conyinoe ill

They have been compelled to develop
their own resources over a large r,ea
of territory, in uo pari of which was
tO.. bo .found any; , considerable cofo
munity using any other langtige (than
En dish. Until the large emigration
began to come from Germany almost
no other language, than Errglieh was
spoken or read. And the people
using German were of auoh close kin
ship with those already here, and
lintruistic studies had become such a
second nature to them, that they aeon
had - lost, their own laoguage .and
iinff
dinavian immigration, so called, and
bids fair, only in less , degree,, to be
come characteristic of an Italian. The
most .highly-educated man is, there
fore, under no" necessity to learn a
foreign language. In addition to the
literature.and tb Ufa. about him, he
is not only the heir to all the accumu
lated wealth in English literature, hut
equal sharer with the people of. Eng
land in all that is 'valuable br perma.
neut in the current literary, produc
tion of that wonderful land.
We are prone' to talk a great deal
about thc extension of our trade with
fercin countries;but the truth is that,
as a people, we have. not been ready
to take up tbis important work, other
than with tho countries of the same
language and of kinship in blood. We
did not need, to know auy foreign
language, to maintain business rela
tions uth England r Ge.aiany, and
it is ilh these th:.i the great mata of
nn rrt n
whom they ha.cipt fo live; The
same thinff is true of .the later Scan
our exchanges have taken place, and
much of the business with other coun
tries than these has been carried on
through English or German agencies.
The Germans,' with whom the neces
sity for learning other languages has
been present for centuries, are about
thc only commercial peaple who have
the linguistic faculty as a gift. . If
this necessity ever comes to us as it
has to them our people will to douot
be found alapting their tongues to
new sounds and strange words with
easy aud characteristic . American
facility. When the demand cornet
and it must grow then somebody
will fill it. At the r resent time it
does not exist. Our public schools
haye tried to teach French aud Ger
man, in spots, but almost always
without success. The etudents who
have given . some of their efforts to
the acquirement of these languages
have found .them only in accomplish
ment and not a necessary incident to
theft ' llfework, and accordingly have
proceeded to forget with much greater
rapidity than they had learned them.
On the literary side pur historians and
writers have done much excellent
work in. fields requiring a cIom and
accurate knowledge ot other lan
guages, as the contributions to litera
ture made by Irving, Prescott, Tick
nar, Motley, Bancroft,'. Longfellow,
Bryant, Taylor, and Parkman . fully
attest. There is no occasion for aiir
prise that our public men and mer
chants aad . orators do not' ( speak
Spanish. It. ought to be one o f the
achievements of the next few years
tht they shall learn to speak and
write English with, more facility,
vigor and correctness.
A NOVEL DICE TRICK.
How a Young Politician Managed to
Uet a Little Money.
Several young men were in a
south -nd resort last evening shak
ing for thc drinks, when suddenly
one of the fellows, a young man
who is reckoned as one of the com
ing lights of the political arena,
said: "Let me take that dice-box
for a minute."
It was hauded over to him, and
taking out four or five uice which
were in thc box, handed them to
the barkeeper, ad,turning the box
ou onceuu, he placed the remain
iug dice on it, and, taking his hat
lroin his head, he covered the box
and dice with it.
"Where is the dice now?" he
asked one of the men s!;uk1:ii
about.
"On the top of the box, of course,"
1 was tb reply, "tLut is, 11 you havu t
simtcu it since you put tbo hat
down."
I have not,"' said the politician,
and be lilted thc hat again, and
sure enoujrh, their sat the u:ce on
the box, just as it had been before
He set the hat down nuun and
took his hands away from it, while
he asked the same question he had
in the first, instance.
"On top of the box, of course,"
repeated the man who had been
juestioned
"You saw it there did yon'f'.
"Certainly.'
"Would you bet that i: 19 on the
top of the box?"
"Of course I would."
"I'll bet you a dollar that it isn't
where you say it is."
"All right," nnd the men put up
their money.
The first man lifted the hat and
there sat the dice as before.
"What did I tell you?"' exclaimed
the second.
"I've won. There is the dice on
top of the box."
"Hold a minute," exclaimed the
young politician. "When yo'i
corns to think of it, wouldn't it be
rather a difficult task to set up a
dice on the top of a dice box when
there is only a very narrow edge to
e,it in. If you will look very
cart&Mj, you will that the dice
is resting on the bettOni of the box
instead ol the. top. I guess the
moaey israihe, .Mr.. Btaki-holder.
"That's so," exclaimed the other
man who had bet, "it is the bottom
of the box; isn't it!? ..

Particular.
Horace Greeley had the reputation
of being a practical philanthropist, aud
his advice was sought by hundreds of
strangers, whose only exense for in
truding upon him was . tht they
needed counsel, and that he had the
brains that could advise them.
One day, while he was writing an
important letter in his office, a boy
fifteen years old entered thc room,
and, standing near the door and be
hind the editors chair, said, "Mr.
Greeley, I have come to ask your ad
vice." "Say on," answered the editor,
without stopping his pen or even
glancing at the boy.
'The only relative I have here,"
continued the boy, "is my sister. I
haye been boarding wi'.h her, and she
let me have board eo cheap that 2
could earn money enough to pay her
and have something lett to buy my
clothes. Now I hare quarreled with
her, and am boarding at another place,
where they charge me all I can earn
for my board not so good as I had at
my sisters, and I have nothing left
to pay for clothes. What shall I do?"
' Is your sister married: asked Mr.
Greeley, without looking up or slop
ing hispep.
"les, sir.
"Is she a respectable woman?"
,Ce.rtrinly,.Bir,,., ,
"Go straight. to your sister and
tell her that you are ashamed of your
self, and ask her. forgiveness. If she
will take you, go back, and live with
her, and alter this remember that 11
your own sister; is not your friend,
you will not be likely to nnd any
friend in. New. York city "
The boy departed without another
word, and Mr. Greeley had not even
seen him, so engrossed was he with
his writing. The boy did not per
sonally know Mr. Greeby, but, being
in distres8,8ought him out in a city of
several hundred thousand people as
thc man to give him good advice.
"It was a higher compliment than
1 had ever before seen conferred upon
any one," writes the Hon. Eli
Thayer, who was present at the in
terview, and reports it in his ' 'His
tory of thc Kansas Crusade.
And The Men Sat Still.
An incident occurred on an after
noon train on the Consolidated
Road thc other day that ought to
have been in print before tbis. It
has its numerous lessons. Amcng
the passengers were three sweet and
quiet Sisters of Charity in their
characteristic dress. A diunken
man, very drunk and annoying.
entered the car and sat down beside
one ot them. He talked persistent
ly, drank Irom a big bottle that he
cornea, ana nnaiiy eiuck his ais
agreeable face repeatedly into the
long bonnet of the sister in a most
insulting way. She was evidently
very much frightened. The con
ductor had already been toidof the
man s conduct, but did nothing.
The other passengers, in true pis
Bt-ngcr fashion, sat and looked ou.
No man stirred.
Finally a woman, while as a sl'.cet
and full of suppressed indignation,
ot up from her scat and went to
tl.o rescue. Shegrabbcd the fellow's
bottle, wrested it from his h.mds
and flung it out f the window;
took hold of him, and alter a lively
arid unassisted struggle, got him
out of the seat.
"I'm no Roman Catholic,' she
said excitedly to the spectator,
'but I can t sit still and see a
sister of Charity insulted.'"- Chi

A YOUNG HETHCSELAU.
Michael Soli Said to be 180
Years Old.
The oldest man in the world i a
citizen oi Bogota, in the Republic of
San Salvador. This new Methuselah
declares that he is 180 years old, and
it would seem he flatters himself, for
his neighbors give the assurance that
he is older than he eays he is. He u
is a half breed, named Michael Solis,
whose existence was revealed to Dr.
Leuis Hermandes by one of the oldest
planters in the locality, who as a child
knew Solis as a centenarian. They
have found in the year 1712 his signa
ture among those of persons who con
tributed to the building of a Francis
can convent which exists sear San
Sebastian. His skin is like parch
ment,, his long hair, of the whiteness
of snow, envelopes - his head like a
turban, and his look is so keen that it
made a disagreeable impression on the
doctoi. "
Interrogated by the Doctor, lie an
swered complrisantly that his great
age was due to his regular mode ot
living arid to hjs never giving up to
any excess of any sort whatever.
"1 never eat but once a day, sai
he, "but J., never use any but the
strongest ana most nourisning looas
My meaii last a half hour, for L be
lieve it is impossible to eat more in
that time than the body can digest in
t went v-f our hours! I fast the firat
and fifteenth day of each month, aikL
on those days L drink- as much water
as I can bear. I always let my food
become cold before 1 touch it. It ic

On The Wire.
Exchange. .
Blondin crossing Niagara on the
tight rope, never had a more excited
audience than the one in ban r ran
ciBco, made up of adults and children,
which gazed upon a mouse walking
op the high wire of the Postal Te'e
graph Company.
Wheu be had goi 30 feet awar
from the telegraph pole, tho mouse
grew very timid and acarcc'y ad
vanced at all. At length be trew
bolder, and finally made thc perilous
distance of 300 feet to the next pole.
The wire must have been at least
20 feet from the ground, and how he
got so high in the air on the wirs and
was enabled to walk it at all, was
thc cause of much wonder to every
body. A child at length explained the
mystery of the mouse's quicr journey,
by telling how a black-atrd-tan dof
had pursued it, making it lake to the
pole.
When the mouse bad cort.pletcd hit
dangerous mia-uir rip, he climbei.
doH-u the pole and Mesipod on tht
hand of an cn-looktr, who carried bin
away in triumph.
