The reporter, the rat catcher and bis dog climbed a hill and entered a kitchen from which all tho furniture bad been removed bat the stove. On tho floor in the middle of the room straw was laid an inch deep. A Large walking cane stood in the corner. The rat catcher untied a string from the neck of a bug and. out came a Inrge rat, who ran rapidly around the four sides of the room, and, finding no outlet, sought refuge beneath the straw. Tho rat catcher then put his band into another bag and drew out out a ferret, whioh. he placed upon the floor. The ferret moved slowly around until ho Btruck the rat's trail, whioh he followed in all its windings. "When the ferret reached tho straw the rat bounded out and toolc another circuit nround the room, but finding no way of escape, in seeming desperation he ran up the canu aud seated himself on the top. The ferrot meanwhile had fol lowed the trail with the tenacity of u bloodhound. When he arrive J at the foot of the cane he stopped. Fer rets cannot climb. He sat at the foot of the cane and waited. The rat b enn to chatter with rage and fear. His cry gradnally aro3e from a whim ler to a shrill squeak. Then a glid ing bundle of fur, gleaming teeth and shining eyes came down tho cane. The sinister ferret was on the watch, and as the rat reached the floor he darted like a flash and hu ueedle-liko teeth were fastened in the rat's neck. The momentum of the rat's body carried the two animals along the floor for two feet There was a short strnggle,"n dead rat, and' the ferret was restored to the bag. "Rita never bite in the dark. I have been bitten many time3, but al ways after I have brought the animal to Uje light," contiuued the ratcatch er. You can put yonr hand into a bag full Of "rats with impunity, bat you must keep the light away from tbem. A Tanner who lives ue ir this place came here early one moraine.

The rest got into his barn and outbuild ings. We went over to -the barn and hunted it over carefully, but wo could not find a sign of a rat. Woj were about leaving the place when I noticed Gin hero f patting a brigbt- eyed terrier fondly upon the head) ' jymg oesme a oncK wan. tone re fused to leave when I called her. The wall was double, with an open space eight inches wide between. With a cold-chisel I cut a brick out of the' wall, and runniug my hand into the! hole, I felt a solid body of rats, piled I oqe upon the other as far as .1 could reach. I covered my hands with a' pair of buckskin gloves and felt! around among the rats until I had! secured six tails. The farmer was holding the bag, but when I swung those si: rats out of the holo he' turned pale, dropped the bag, aud! ran. "I took 14" rats out of that wall. We took them to the farmer's kitch en and liberated them. When theyj iounu mere was no escape tneyi ranged themselves "d a corner on J their hind quarters, like soldiers awaiting a charge, and began making' the pecnliar noise which rats always make when cornered. I had been! holding the young dog who was struggling to get away. When I let him go he charged the phalanx brave-1 ly. A moment later ho ran under' the table, carrying a load of living rats hanging from every part of his body. Then I lot tin old dog go. After she had laid thra all out she went around among them, and if there was one who showed signs of life she gave him:ari extra nip. .cV. IT." Sun. .lit rrjver'os.

No day now passes without a new reofprocity treaty. The telegraph in forms us ihut tua terms of treaties with Guatemala and San Salvador have been agreed upon and progress has been made with a treaty with Co lombia. The British West Indies arc also maneuvering for reciprocity oa tho same terms us tho Spanish An tilles. Why stop here? Why not havej-eciprocity treaties with Great Britain, Prance and Germauy. If reciprocity is to be the fashion Jet us take it by wholesale and not in retail lots. If it be a good thing for us to admit from our southern neighbors, free of duty, everything that Califor nia or Oregou produce, it surely can not bo a bad thing to admit from our European allies, treo of duty, the ar ticles which New England and Penn sylvania produce. What is sauce for the goose must surely be sauce for the gander. These eastern politicians includ ing Mr. Arthur, Mr. Prelinghuysen, Mr. McCulloch and the rest are act ing as if this country were bounded on the west by the Alleghany moun tains and on the south by the Poto mac. They cannot see any interest outside of the little circle of seaboard merchants and manufacturers in which Ihey move. TLoy have all got free raw material on tho brain ap parently for no belter reason than that England, which produces no raw materials, finds it 1 1 her interest to ad mit them free. We shall be much mistaken if the administration does not find its pot projects met by a sturdv opposition from the rep'resen sentativea of tho Mississippi valley anu cue jracmo coast. At any rate, therejwill-be an inquiry into the true meaning and intent of these rooipro city treities. If thei- mil design shall provo to ba to bjuefit one sm ill section or the country at the expense of tho rest, it will bo timo to call a halt Oa the 5ih of November the Span ish steamers Butnitt and Maria collided in tho harbjr of Minilla.
