A CHAPTER ON RATS.
The Newark (N. J.) Sentinel of Freedom fur
nishes the following information relative to that
repulsive animal, the rat:
In the indulgence of their predilection for eggs,
rata display great judgment. It would seem almost
impossible for them to carry off such fragile spoil
without breakage; but they do contrive to do so.
If the theft is achieved without a confederate, the
rat stretches out its foreleg underneath the egg,
steadies it above with its cheek, aiul hops away
cautiously upou three legs. To convey an egg
troiu the bottom to the top of a house is a still
more difficult affair, and probably an impossibility
lor a single rat to perform. With the aid of a
partner, the operation is thus managed. The
male rat stands upon his head, and lifts up the
egg with his hind legs; the female taking it thence
in her fore paws, secures it till her lord ascends
a step higher; and so they proceed from stair to
stair, till their booty is deposited safely in their
hole. A pastry cook had some tine eggs which
she priaed highly, but the number of which was
mysteriou.'ily diminished night alter aight. Sus
picion, of course, fell upon the domestics. One
of them, a maid-servaut, hearing one night a
noise ou the stairs, stole out on the landing, fan-
c^'ing she might be fortunate enough to detect
the egg pilferer. She was not mistaken, although
she was considerably astonished at discovering
who the real offenders were. She saw two rats,
one larger than the other, busily engaged in car
rying the cherished eggsj down stairs, and felt too
interested in watching their proceeding to think
of disturbing them. The big rat stjod on his
hind legs, with his lore paws and head resting on
the step above; the lady rat rolled the egg gently
toward her spouse; clasping it gently, but tirmly,
he lifted it carefully ou the step upon which he
stood, holding it there until she came and took
charge of it, when he descended a step lower, till
the clever pair reached the lowermost floor with
their prize uninjured.
The wholesale larceny with which the rat is
too justly charged, is criminal enough, in all con
science, but worse remains behind. He has been
known to make a meal ot the fingers and toes of a
living baby. Forty years ago a piemaker, finding
his delicacies unaccountably disappear, deter
mined to lie in wait in his bake-house one night,
and so catch the delinquents. Unfortunately,
they caught him, and devoured the unfortunate
pie-man in preference to his pies. There is one
dish that is more tempting to the rat’s palate,
than any other, and for which he will desert any
thing in the eatable world—and that is a de
funct relative.
Should two rats agree to settle their differences
oy a mortal combat, their friends and acquaint
ances look on as complacently as distinguished
amateurs contemplate a fight for the champioQ-
ship. But immediately the affair L concluded
by the death of one of the combatants, the spec
tators break up the ring, and incontinently set
upon the victor, and vanquished, and eat them
up then and there. Woe, too, to one meeting
with an accident, or becoming infirm, tor he is
gobbled up without remorse. When a rat’s leg
IS found in a trap, instead of its being a proof of
iiis resolution in preferring to leave alimb behind
rather than remain in captivity, the chances are
that some of his kith and kin have eaten him
:ilive. in consequence of this propensity of can-
iiibali.sm, when i>irs. liat bccomes a mother she
is obliged to hide her otlspring, Ititpapa, or dome
old geutleman ot his acquaintauue, should make
tiis Uinuer ot them, which he would certainly do
it he found them unprutected. For *the same
reason will old raUs retire into solitude, disgusted
with their kind, and if attacked in their retreat,
prove desperate foes, beat off any rats, without re-‘
gard to sex, that venture to intrude on their pri
vacy. An old gentleman of this description will
keep a house clearer ot vermin than any cat or
dog, for he will allow no brother near his throne.
I he rat can scarcely be considered a courage
ous animul; he relies more upon his cunning than
iiis strength, and in the presence of a superior
enemy, tninks only of escape; but ii rendered
desperate, by being pressed into a corner, will
turn savagely—the sewer rat being more fero-
eiuus than his compeers.
The teiiiales breed at three months old, live in
ii state of polygamy, add to the vermin population
iive or six times in a year, and produce eight,
twelve, fourteeu, sixteen, and sometimes as many
as eighteen young in a litter. It has been calcu
lated that lu three years there will spring no less
than t)01,000 rats Irom a single pair. Although
this seems t-oo enormous a numher to be correct.
It would perhaps be difficult to over-estimate the
uuaibers ot these animals. 600,000 rats were
tilled in Paris in the short space of a fortnight,
merely to obtain their skins for a couple of manu
facturers at (jrrenoble; 6,000 have met their deaths
from the dogs and meu at the slaughter-houses of
.Monl'aucon in a month. At the present time,
Marseilles is overrun with them; traps aud poison
proving lutile against the army, ot destroyers,
who range even the public streets with impunity;
the cats have lied in affright; and the only reli
ance ot the inhabitants lies in the arrival ot a
cargo of English terriers, these little champions
of the pit alone being of any avail against the in
vading host.
JSendiiin the Election Returns to California.—
The extetrsion ot the Pacific Telegraph to Fort
Kearney sliortens the distance between San Fran
cisco and the Atlantic States about 50 hours.
The St. Louis Democrat says the usefulness of
the new line will be put to the test to communi
cate the returns of the Presidential election to
California. An extra Pony Express is ordered
to leave Fort Kearney the moment sufficient is
known to make the resu4t ce^in. The “extr»”
will be harried across the plains at the rate of
about fifteen miles an hour, and is expected to
reach the eastern terminus of the California tele
graph in five days. There the news will be taken
up and telegraphed to ail parts of Caiilbruia and
Oregon immediately. By this means the result
ot Tuesday’s election should be eommuni«i|pd to
our Pacific neighbors in eiyht day* Irom the'time
ot the election. ^
