us,to say that it is perfectly authentic
An officer of the United States Navy,
being in the city of Paris in the fall Of
1882, was invited by Gen. Lafayette to
visit him at Lagrange, his country seat.
The invitation was accepted, and the of
ficer of course enjoyed in the highest
degree the elegant and hearty hospital

displayed to Americans. During. the
three days which. the American naval
officer spent at Lagrange, much converc

RattIesnaIteS,


A physician, one ofmy intimate friends,
passed night in state of great per-
plexiiy, Of which the account may give
the reader some idea. He had, like me,
entertained the desire Of observing the
particular ways Of these terrible rep
tiles, kept in q cage, and succeeded in
furnishing himself with four Of them Of
various sizes. For fear OF some acci
dent on account of the negligence Of his
negroes, he had placed the cage which
enclosed them ina spacious room, which
he made his bed-chamher. A negro was
selected to feed and attend to them. 1t
was my friends custom, on his teturn
home, 10 take glance at his animals,
TO assure himself Of their being prop
erIy fed, and their cage door being well
SHUT One night,- having. come home
very late aud tired, he neglected this
precau,ion and wentto bed. The wealth
er was very hot, and notwithstanding
his state Of fatigue, several hours gllded
away without his obtaining any sleep
He suddenly heard a light, sliding noise
on the floor along the wall of the apart
ment, which Jeff off very soon, and he
ceased TO give any more attention to the
circumstance. after some moments,the
same noise revived, and he then eau
tiously looked ont CT bed 10, ascertain
what might be the cause Of it. The
moonlight shining full into the room, he
observed the largest Of the snakes he
had 18 rattles roaming free along the
floor. | leave the reader to imagine
what were his impressions at this unex-
pectcd sight! What was he to do in this
case? A loaded gun was hanging al the
extremity Of the room. How to reach
it was the question. Farther was. this
animal the only one out Of the cage, or
we're all the others, too at liberty? The
whole Of the servants were asleep. he
resolved to wait for the morning; but
first took the precaution Of slowly and
carefully drawing up his musquito cur
tains around the bed: afterwards he sat
down and pateHtly watched the issue
The animal continued TO make some un-
dulatory movements through the room !;
after which the doctor heard him ap-
broach the bed, and at last all became
silent.
At daylight, he heard the steps of a
Servant who was coming according to
his custom 10 perform his morning duty.
The doctor cried out to him not 70 open
the door, but TO 60 for an Old African
negro, named Isaac, who was known TO
approach these reptiles without fear
The latter arrived, entered confidently,
and saw the snake rolled up under the
bed. The lhree others had remained in
he cage, although the door was open
lis first care was to shut it. My friend
insisted on his shooting the SNAKE
Isaac refused, and declared himself able
TO seize the animal, without The least
fear Of being bitten by. him 10 effect,
he advanced 10 the bed, whistling soft
ly with his lips, pronouncing some
words in English in q 6aressfng tones
and then, after some minutes, he ventu-
red to pass his hand over the back Of
the snake, all the time trying to sooth
him, he induced the animal TO place him
SELF on his arm and body. The snake

In the JIadisonian of November lst, the head

Cromsell, the righteousness of the cause in
which he and his associates embarked, cannot
be qeslioned by reasonable and enlightened
men in the present age, who have given due
affection TO the subject. Tae vigor of his ad-
mlnistaton, and its general honesty and justice
cannot be successfully disproved. The Puri-

THE RIGHT OF PETITION.

In an article in oar Wednesday, paper, rela-
tive to the right Of petition, this expression oc-
ours: alt is evident, therefore, that Congress
must have some power, under the Constitution,
to restrict the right Of petition" Our readers
we trust, understood US as we meant to be I'M
derstood not that Congress had any power 10
restrict the right of petition, as secured in the
Constitution but only as 1t is claimed by Mr..
Adams. No one ever thought Of denying the
right Of the People "peaceably 10 assemble and
petition for a redress Of grievances )" and
no one ever supposed that Congress could take
away or abridge that right in any respect whate-
yer. But Mr.. Adams goes farther than this
He contends that the People not only have a
/ right to petition, but that Congress is bound to
receive, read discuss and decide on the petit
tons, provided they be respectful in their terms
and Notwithstanding they may be wholly irIele-
want to the proper business Of Congress. II is
only TO this interpre atom of The right Of petition
that our remarks were intended to apply.
| Mr.. Adams has endesvorcd to practice a
gross deception upon the People Of this country
| 10 relation 10 this suhject-an attempt so gross
and palpabe, that TIL only wonder is that il LA y,
not sunk him into contempt with his intelligent
constituents. He knows that the right Of peti-
ton Is held sacred by every American, aud he
consequently knows that the violation or denial
of that right would be highly resented by them,
in every quarter Of the country. Hence, if he
can persuade the people Of the North that the
slave holding States have denied that right in
reference to slavery, 1t will be powerful wea-
pon in his hands, in his war against that insti-
tuition. lie kno1rs that The right has nerer
been denied-and his repeated assertions that il
has been, is mere demsgogue's trick, unwor-
thy alike Of his age, his reputcd intellect, and
his standing before The world. The words Of
the Constitution are these:
Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment Of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abndgng he freedom OF
speech or Of the press or The right Of The PEG
pie peoceably 10 assemble, and 10 petition The
Government for a redress Of grierances." The
reason Of this provision is found in the history
uf England, by whose Gov rnment these
| rights have frequently been denied Now
we ask Mir Adams iG he can say. with.
out blushing, that any portion Of the poo
ple whose petitions he has presented were
prevented, by any hing which Congress has
done, from "peaceabIy assembling" and franz
ing these very petitiohs2 Who offered them
violence or hindrance of any knd1 Have they
not actually exhausted the whole right, as given
in the Constitution, without let or molestsion 2
Mr.. Adams dare not say that they have not,
Blu, this does no, satisfy him. He insiss that
