And angel voices say to thee.

itod, and tho first thing must be to out
oll'outsidors. But if we aro troubled by
none but unlives, it will not require
much skill to capturo every one uf
thorn old, cunning follows and all.
In tho first place we must rosolveto
tuko timo to it and capturo tho whole
lot, and to this end no attompt must
bo mado to capturo single animals,
sinco this will tend to make thorn sus
picious and will put tho old onos on
their guard. Thon provido a large

loou, such as meal, choeso,herriiig, Ac.
lloro a two-inch huloin thbsido of the
box, und then Icavo it for somo days.
Tho rats will soon find it out and
froniient it. First a vounir one will
go in and havo a good food and come
out all right; tho old ones seoing that
ho is not hurt, they too, will go in,
and in a short timo evory rot about
tho prcmisos will trequont ft. ben

plied with food and arrango over the
nolo a block having a corresponding
opcrturo cut in it but having also a
series of wires stuck around tho bole
nnd pointing inwards, just as thoy are
arrangod in tho common wire traps.
Every rat will go into it as before
anil not one can cot out.
Various methods may bo adopted
for killing thorn. If you are a sports
man, you can let them out ono at a
timo and shoot thorn or kill them with
terriers. A fuw slips of Bulpharod
paper thrust through the bolo and
burned, is, howover, a very simple
plan and will give them a most effect
ual quietness. Wo have known a
caso in which sixty-seven rats were
caught at ono timo in a box arranged
as described, in this instance the
prcmisos woro effectually cleared of
tho vermin.
In this system the great agent is
education. Lot tho animals be taurrbt '
during a period of soveral days, that
there is no dangor in the boxes,
barrels or traps that we wish them to
frcquont, and they will rash in pell
moll if they expect to procure food by
tho operation. Who has not soen

things when covered up in a box and

Thoy will not only push covers aside
and oat holes through boards, but they
will scorn to entirely ignore the pres

of tho rat cathcr's art. So long as

Sam Houston Reprimanded.
The solomn farco of reprimanding
a man at tho bar of tho Ilouse as a
fiunishment for a breach of the privi
cges of the body was performed in the
caso of Sam Houston, Andrew Steven- '
son boing speaker. Houston bad been
charged by Stanborry, a member from
Ohio, witb defrauding tho Govern
ment in somo transaction witb an
Indian tribe on tho Tennossoe border.
An investigation was roquostod, but
Houston could got no satisfaction, and
not willing to rest nndcr tbo imputa
tion, ho inflicted a sovoro chastise
mcnt with a cano in the procincts of
tho Capitol. Houston was arrested
by tho sergeant-at-arms, and there
was a long trial, resulting in the rea-"
olution that the offender should be
reprimifnded by tho Speaker. It wae
a curious spoctaclo. Houston was at
that time a striking spocimon of manly
boauty. He was in tbe prime of life,
with moro porsonal advantages than
almost any man of bis timo. lie stood
considerably nbovo six foot, with small
hands and fool, and every way finely
proportioned. Ho was dressed . in
faultless stylo when the sergeant-at-arms
led him np to tho bar of tho
Houso. Ho was sclf-possoesod, easy
and gracoful in manner, without
swnggor or self-assortion, with tho
bearing of a man who came thoro to
pay bis respects to tho House, and
especially to its presiding officer.
Tho galleries woro crowded, and the
members, with tho spectators, lookod
curiously on. Speaker Stovonson was
tho only embarrassed person in tho
hall. Iio was a largo, fine-looking
man of commanding presence; but he
was fidgety and uncomfortable, look
ing as it he expectod Houston to read
bim a lecture In a hesitating and
perturbed mannorhe told Houston that
tho House had ordered him to be rep
rimanded by its presiding officer, and
ho, tho speaker, bctrced bim to con
sider bimsolf reprimanded. Houston
bowed in a grateful, dignified and
lordly way, a broad grin spread ovor
tho Houso, and tbore tbe matter end
ed. Tbo Democrats had a clear ma
jority in Congross, and Houston be
longed to that parly, but tbe broach
of privilcgo was too flagrant to be over
looked, bim tho dignity of the body
was not vindicated by tho Snoakor's
