The Itlne in Paper.
How Grandfather Llck^hinglo, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, accounts for it.
"Nothin' wuz made in vain," observed Grandfather Lickshingle yesterday "an' this advance in the price uv printin paper wuz brought about by special dispensation uv Providence for a certain purpose."
He was asked to explain. "When Uie world got so ornarjr that nobody but politicians could live in it," continued the old man, "the Lord of Hosts sent a flood upon the earth an' swept the whole caboodle out of existence—drowned 'em, like so many pups. Very well. The progress of the funny newspaper has been so rapid durin' the past tew years that terror has seized upon the people. The country to-day is full uv men, women an' children wringin' their hands au' cryin', "What shall we do to be saved?' Well may we pause an' consider. Every cross roads in the country, so far at least, as investigation has penetrated, has Its comic, serio-comic or religio-eomic newspaper, while the metropolitan sheets uv of the metropolis maintain their humorous departments. Fire an' lightnin' have been visited upon them, but with only indifferent success. Societies for the suppression uv wit an' humor have been established, an* while these organizations have done noble work in pillagin' an' destroyin" offices an' material, still they have failed miserably to stop the growin' evil. "They could, with the aid of their hook an" burners, tear an office to the ground, or they could blow it tip with nitroglycerin' an' gun-cotton. This, however, did not always prevent the editor from gather-in' together a cheese-press an' some shoe pegs for type an' breakin' out in a new place with a funnier paper than ever.
Then they thought to fay the ax at the root of the evil, and a reward of 25 cents a head wuz offered for the scalp uv funny men, or paragraph ists. This also wuz a miserable failure, for the reason that when one wuz cut down two sprung up, new lighted, like Mercury on a heaven kissing 1.
But what has all this to do with the price of printing-paper?" "That's what, I'm comln' to. As the wicked an' sinful had to be swept from the face uv the earth by rains an floods, so these funny newspapers are to be wiped out uv existence by an increase in the price uv paper. Besides bein' a deadener on the evil aimed at, it will insure the public, to a certain extent, agin campaign newspapers, newspapers run by rich men for their own amusement, newspapers established to fill long-fell wants, and all that sort uv thing. "This manner nv proeeedin' may seem a little strange," continued grandfather, after a pause, "Imt you most recollect that the Almfarhty moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform."

ABOUT KATO,
Their lWltkal aai Military History. The last number of the Catholic Magazine contains an exceedingly interesting article on the history of rats in Europe:
Thelate inundation of the Seine, which caused so many disasters, occasioned one of which there had been no expectation. In-entering the sewers which open into the river, the water drove out an immense number of rats, who were thus carried into the houses which stand upon the quays or in their neighborhood. The houses were completely overrun by those horrible creatures, ana for a week their inhabitants made incessant raids upon them by means of terrier dogs, traps and poison. In the Rue Sainte Julien le Pauvre, in one day 140 rats of enormous size were destroyed.
Now, the question is, whence did the rats come which in such numbers invaded our shores? Without designing an historical course of ratology, there are many details which might be communicated regarding the origin of these creatures, which are of a very interesting nature a rare book upon the historical curiosities of Paris, published about the middle of the last century, and other works by erudite scholars, supply much information on the subject.
Tne legions which were so unceremoniously dislodged the other day came from the borders of the Caspian Sea. But before speaking of these foreigners, a few words are in order about theorown rat— a rat which is almost extinct, in consequence of the war which for a hundred years they have been compelled to carry on with the red or Asiatic rat.
The brown rat was himself an emigrant his reign was by right of conquest, not of birth. He came with the barbarians from the north. As the surface was occupied, there was a corresponding occupation be neath it. There was the rat of the Goths, the rat of the Vandals, the rat of the Huns.
The brown rat was the rat of the Vandals. When he came to France, there was no one for him to dislodge in order toflnd rOom. The Gauls were not infested by any individuals of tMs kind, and must therefore have been rather surprised at the appearance of this unknown visitor.
At the sight of the ravages by which he first betrayed his incognito, it might have been supposed that his coming was an immediate visitation of divine justice. A passage of Gregory of Tours tells how the inhabitants of Paris, who could not account for this subterranean invasion in any rational.manner, sought his explanation in a able. Their town of Lutetia, they said, hod always been secure from fires and the attacks of hurtful animals, by the protection of a god to whom they had offered homage, burying certain images in ff consecrated place, Unfortunately, in digging a sewer, one of these holy images was displaced, and then these hurtful animals took possession of the town, and it was ravaged by fires.
Once masters bf the soil, the brown rats moved not. They onlv sent an army of occupation in the sufte of William the Conqueror, when he went to evade England and these English rats also found meanB for making all irruption into Ireland. The frogs, so abundant there, proved a delicate morsel, and they feasted upon them with so great an appetite that one fine morning the whole croaking popu lation had disappeared. The rats, failing their provisions, disappeared in tbeir turn.
Toward 1647, shortly before the Froude there was a rumor in Paris that a new kind of rat had suddenly appeared and distinguished itself, not only by its ravages, but by the desperate battles it waged with the brown rat, the master of the soil. The new comers were of an iron-gray color, and on this account were called vulcans.
The surmulot, the race which now reigns, that terrible animal which cannot, be drawn from Montiaucon, and it is found will hold good its place in the quarters of the markets and the Palais Royal, did not arrive until a hundred years later.
In the year 1725 there were terrible earthquakes in the countries on the borders of the Caspian sea. From the depths of the abTsses suddenly opened from the bosom
OF
the mountain in
JHIKHY
what
came forth? Rats which were large and fat, and armed with formidable teetn, and with their long red hair, had a terrible appearance. They advanced in immense battalions, and their arrival at Askalon in the autumn of 1727 was remarkable. Nothing stopped them, not even rivers, for they are good swimmers. They either passed the Volga or took possession in legends of the vessels which they found ther. Others pushed on in an opposite direction.
A whole army moved simultaneously toward Siberia, and having, entered the little town of Jnikh, mastered it. The town was taken by assault. The attack took place at 4 o'clock in the evening, and a quarter of the town was given up by the conquered to the conquerers.
The vessels lying in the Russian ports, on board which the surmulots had taken free passage, returned to France, and the hungry rats were the first to disembark.
Twenty years later the surmulots were masters, ^he black rat cannot make headway against this intruder, stronger thMi he Is, oetter armed with teeth, and renewing his legions three times a year, by a birth of from 12 to 20 little ones each time. He disappeared, and his existence is now one of the myths of the sewers of Paris and London.
The black rat has been driven from land by the gray rat, to which the name of Hanover rat has been given Tiim, on the account of the time of his appearance in that country, and he is now master of the situation.
