CINorNNArI.--The following brieI
sketch Of the early history of Gin.
cinnati, we clip from the Nonpareil:
"This city is now about sixty-iour
years cid. Some time between Oc-
tober, l7S7, and January, l7SS, John
ClevesG Symmes. of New Jersey,
made a contract with the Treasury
Board Of the United States, on be-
half Of himself and associates, for
the lands lying between the two Mi
ami rivers, bounded on the south BY
the Ohio rivers, and running north so
far as TO include one million acres.
or this purchase Symmes sold TO
Matthias Denmsn six hundred and
forty acres, lying opposite Licking
river, on which Cincinnati is now
principally built. for forty-nine dol.
lars. About the tenth ofSeptember,
l7SS, party met on the site of the
city, and made Plat Of the incipi-
ent town. On the 26th OF Decem-
Der, l7SS, the first landing of the
immigrants for the settlement was
made, and in January, l7S9. the
streets were surveyed and named in
that part Of the town living between
Broadway aud Western Row. Du-
ring this year several log houses and
one frame house were built, and some
OF the out lots, all OF which were
north OF Seventh street, were clear
ed. The legal title to the grounds
on which the town was built being
still in Symmes, the patentee, all the
deeds for the original in and out lots
were made by him. In 1870. the
lots on fractional sections number IL
were laid out by the patentee; and
on the I'd o. March. lS0S, the reser.
vation around Fort Washington was
sold in lots by the surveyor general
Of the Northwestern Territory, un.
der the direction of the Secretary OF
the Treasury. Between the first
and tenth Of January, 1850, the
name was changed from LosantivilIe

THE New PREsIDENT.-The New
York Mirror thus describes the
President elect:
ain appearance, he does not look
like the Chief OF a great Nation
In majesty Of person he is not a
Washington, or a Fillmore. His
figure is slight; bis head not large;
his iace habitnally pale; his eye re-
markably mild; and his figure. al
though trifie above the common
height, is a little thinner than the
average. In regard to his principles,
we believe himtO be more eonserya-
tive than bis party. He comes Of a
good old New England stock; and,
what is still better, we know him to
be thorough Webaer- Union man.
We believe the country will be safe
under his administrations .ss Being
elected by what may be regarded as
the will Of eighteen millions. out Of
twenty FIVE millions OF people, he
may well feel rich IN popular re,
sources. Letihim cut loose from al!
the heads and tails Of factions in his
own party, and in all parties; lei
him say to the ringleaders OF Rowdy-
ism, BarnburBerism, Fil!ibusterism.
and Radicaiism--t. ProcHLbi O, Pro-
cal. este prufaaif' Let him call to
his councils, not the old hacks Of
sham Democracy, but The Z fresh,
pure, honest men Of the nation,
without regard TO party names, and
the country may look forward to al
brilliant, prosperous, and peaceful
Administrations. We have no fears
Tor the future; and no regrets for the
"viclims of misplaced confideHce,n
who. followed the plume Of the
soldier instead OF the orifamme Of

THE SNAKE AND THE CRocoDILE.-
The following thrilling account Of an
engagement between boa constructor
and crocodile in java, is given by an
eyewitness
It was one morning that | stood beside
small lake, fed by one Of the rills
from the mountains. The waters were
clear as crystal, and everything could
be seen TO the very bottom. Stretching
its limbs close over this pond, was gI-
gantic teak tree, and in its thick, shi.
ming, evergreen leaves. lay a huge boa,
in an easy coil, taking his morning nap.
Above him was powerful ape of the
baboon s; ecies. aleering race OF scampS,
always bent ON mischief. -E4u"1
Now the ape, from his position, saw q
crocodile in the wafer, raising TO the top,
exactly beneath the coil Of the serpent
Quick as thought he jumped plump upon
the snake, which fell with splash into
the jaws of the crocodile. The ape
saved himself by clinging to limb of
the tree, but battle royal Immediately
commenced in the water. The serpent
grasped in the middle by the crocodile,
made the water boil by his furious con-
tortions. Winding his fold round the
body ofthis antagonist. he disabled his
two hinder legs, and, by his contrac-
tions, made the scales and bones of the
monster crack.
The water was speedily tinged with
the blood of both combatants, yet nei>
ther were disposed TO yield. They
rolled over. and over. neither being able
to obtain a decided advantage. All this
time the cause Of the mischief was in
the highest ecstacy. He leaped up and
down the branches of the tree, came
several times close to the scene of fight,
shook the limbs of the tree, uttered a
yell. and again frisked about. At the
end of ten minutes silence began to
come over the scene. The folds Of the
serpent began 10 be relaxed, and though
they were trembling along the bnck, the
head hung Iifeless in the waier.; 80.
The crocodile was also still. and
tnouSn OnIy inc sPihe was 'iS'OiS, u
was evident that he loo was dead. The
monkey now perched himself on the
lower limbs of the tree, close TO the
dead bodies. and amused himself for
ten minutes in making all sorts OF faces
at them. This seemedto be adding in
suit to injury. One of my companions
was standing al short distance. and
taking a stone from the edge Of the lake,
hurled it at the ape. He was totally un-
prepared, as it struck him on the side
Of the head, he was instantly tipped
over, and fell upon the crocodile; A
few bounds, however, brought him a.
shore; and otakfng to the tree he speedi.
ly disappeared among the branches: q

IA late nnmber Of the North
American Review contains an atti-
Gle on the increase OF the precious
metals, and the consequent reduction
in he value of money. The writer
shows, that from the year 1900 to
l545 (accordihg to Humboldt's Ia
bles) the supply Of the precious
metals obtained from America were
about S3IO00.000 a year. From
l545 10 1900. The supply averaged
SlL000,000 a year. The supply
was largely increased from l750 to
1903, the highest rate estimated 81
S35. 100000. About the year 1900,
the annual supply was estimated al
S4S, 937 900, ol which SI2,64S,O0O
was gold. and $50, ,2S9 silver. For
the ten succeeding years there was
but little increase in the supply, and
down 10 the wars in the Spanish
American colonies, according TO
Jacob, the supply from the Ameri-
can mines did not exceed S20,OOO,.
600 a year. In 1884 McCulloch
states the supply from all the world
at S30,000,OO0. In lS47 this supply
was increased by the products Of the
Russian mines 10 SCI. 7.O0O,000 The
products of the California and other
mines have swollen the amount in
1885, to Sl7S,2S4.000 in gold $685.
S34, 900, and in silver about $39, 900
from all the world. The supply in
1852 IS about six times as large as il
was % years since. No reduction
in the supply is anticipated for q
number Of years. Should there be
a reduction in the products Of the
California mines, those in Australia
will, at least, make good any def !
cheney. E irsj 15 -f.b -lcrf7
An important difference appears in
the present increase and that OF |
former years. Its this-the present
increase is in gold, while that Of
former years was nearly all in silver. |
This difference has already produced |
a great change in the relative value
of gold and silver, and a still greater
change is looked for. The Review,
in consideration Of ethe matter,
thinks it but the exercise Of ordinary
caution 10 assume thai ''tke annual
supply Of the precious metals toiH not
IdH beLo,1 a hundred millions of dol
lars for many years, and that, in a
quarter Of a century, this supply soia
deprecaate mOneyto One-half or one,
third its present value" -ofl al
The general opinion is that the
value Of money is reduced in the
precise ratio Of the increase OF the
There can be little doubt
that the large increase in the quantity |
OF the precious metals, will occasion
changes in the value OF
money, but no cause Tor alarm is
seen in that. The operation will be |
very gradual, and must continue for
many years. o A decline in the value
Of money will increase wages, and |
The price Of agricultural and manu-
featuring products, as we'll as real
estate. In this general and gradual
change there will be no revuIsion to
