A Snake Com bat.

Combats between the rattle and black snake
are certain if they meet, and the black snake is,
with rare exceptions, the conquerer. Upon
seeing each other, these animals instantly as.
sumo their respective attitudes of defiance and
display the great difference in their organiza-
ton. The rattlesnake coils itself up, ready
for attack or defence; the black snake being
constructor, moves about from side to side, and
is in constant actiyity-naturaly exciting each
others passions. The rattlesnake finally settles
down into glowing exhibition of animosity,
its fangs exposed, its rattles in constant apia-
ton. The black snake seemingly conscious
that the moment of strife has come, now com.
mences circling round its enemy, absolutely
moving so swiftly that it seems but a CLEAN of
dull light; the rattle snake attempts TO follow
the movement, but soon becomes confused,
and drops its head in despair; then it is that
the black snake darts upon the back ofits deadly
foe, seizes it between its teeth, and springing
upwards, envelopes the rattlesnake in its folds.
The struggle, though not long, is painful; the
combatants roll over in the dust, and get en-
tangled in the bushes but every moment the
black snake is tightening its hold until the
rattle snake grasps for breath, becomes helpless
and dies For awhile the black snake still
retains its grasp; you can perceive its muscles
working with energy; but finally it cautiously
uncoils iiselfun quietly betakes to the water,
where recovering its energy, it dasbes about
moment as if in exultation, and disappears from
the scene.

Insurrection IN HaytI,

The Boston Traveller of June I'd publishes
extracts from a letter bearing date Aux Cayes
Hayti, May 10th, which states that formidable
insurrection had broken out in that part of the
island against the Emperor Soluque. The writer
says:
body of from 1000 to 5000 insurgents
took possession Of post between this place
and Pingrey last night, with the view of attack
ing the town to-day. The military authorities
were only aware of this at I o'clock this morn
ing. The alarm drums were Immediately
beaten, and every male adult in town was
ordered to join the troops.
At ten a. m, the troops marched out with
the citizens that had joined them, but being
but five hundred strong, it is probable they will
not make an attack on the insurgents, but will
content themselves with defending the entry Of
the town till reinforced.
A postscript to the letter, dated IL a. m,
adds: The alarm drums are again beating. 1t
is said that the troops sent out are repulsed,
and the insurgents pushing forward. People
are running distractedly through the streets,
closing stores, &c.

The British Royal Family.

The education of the royal children being
matter in which all must feel interested, a
few details of the manner in which the day of
the royal scholars is divided, may perhaps be
entertaining to our readers. These children
are eight in number, from fifteen to two years
of age, viz: A daughter son-a daughter
a son--two daughters-and two sons A pri-
mary regard is paid TO moral and religious
duties. They rise early, breakfast At eight,
and dine at one. Their various occupations
are allotted out with almost military exactness
One hour finds them engaged in the study of
the ancient, another of the modern authors !;
their acquaintanceship with languages first
founded on a thorough knowledge of their
grammatical construction, and afterwards fa-
miliarized and,perfected by conversation.
Next they are trained in those military exer
cises which gives dignity and bearing. Another
hour is agreeably filled up with the lighter ac-
complishments of music and dancing. Again
the happy little party assemble in the riding
school, where they may be seen deeply inter
ested in the various evolutions Of the menage.
Thence-whilst drawing and the further exer-
cses of music, and the lighter accomplish
ments call off the attention Of their sisters
the younger princes proceed to busily engage
themselves in carpentar's shop, fitted up ex-
pressly for them, at the wish of the royal con-
sort, with turning lathe and tools essential to
perfect knowledge Of the craft Thus they
early become not only theoretically, but prac-
tically acquainted with the useful arts Of lfe
A small laboratory is occasionally brought
into requistion, at the instance also of their
royal father, and the minds of the children are
thus led up from contemplation of the curl
osities Of chemical science and the wonders Of
nature to an inquiry into their causes. This
done, the young carpenters and students throw
down their saws and axes, unbukcle their phi
losophy, and shoulder their miniature percus-
sion guns-which they handle with the dexterity
Of practised sportsmen--for a shooting stroll
through the royal gardens. The evening meal
the preparation for the morning lessons and
brief religious instruction closes the day.

delegate from Connecticut moved to ac-
cept the offer Of the Young Mems Democratic
Association. he had been in that hall, and
could assure the members that il held nearly
double the number of this hall. Several gen
tlemen with weak voices spoke there last night,
and were distinctly heard. He would say, too,
that on that occasion the Democracy Of Gin.

gathered. The motion was referred to the
committee of arrangements, and a recess till

EVENING SESSION.
Upon the re-assembling of the convention,
Mr. Willard Salisbury, of Delaware, moved
that the Senators and members of Congress at
present in the city be invited to occupy places
on the platform and on the floor. He said
that the character of the gentlemen alluded to
prevented any suspicion of their endeavoring
to exert any undue influence on the conven-
tion. Cries of "No, no--don't want them. "
Mr. Reuben Chapman, Of Alabama, moved
to amend by inviting all the members of all
the State Legislatures present in the city,
Mr. Petit moved further to amend by admit
ting also all the United States office holders.
Mr. Smith, of Alabama thought that the
convention had better invite the public in full
than reserve seats for representatives in Con-
gress. The support and countenance of the
masses of the Democratic party were more i'm.
portant than the favor Of Office holders and
members of Congress.
Mr.. McMullen, of Virginia, favored the adop.
tion of the resolution for be thought our Con-
greesmen and Senators entitled to seats on the
floor. The resolution was finally laid on the
table by large majority on motion Mr.. w. w.
Aiery, of North Carolina
In reply to an inquiry the committee on re-
solutions stated that they would report at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning
Mr.. Petit moved to adjourn, but withdrew
his motion
Mr.. Child, of Connecticut, wished, ms the
Convention had no important business to do,
that the members should tell their experience.
Loud laughter and cries of go on, go on.
He was representative from Connecticut for

On his way home he became completely over

Gold and silver I'm the World.

A Russian Counsellor of State has recently
published work styled, "Gold and Silver
their origin, and the amount extracted from
all countries of the known world, from the most
remote times till the year 1885, The following
particulars are Of interest:
The amount of gold and silver annually
taken from the mines of Europe, including
Russia, is 26,S05 kilogrammes of the former,
q I-lO pounds to the kilogramme) and l6l ,444
kilogrammes of the latter, valued together at
$25,OOO0OO.
SIN America, Including California the an
nual product is l69,S34 kilogrammes of gold
and 735, 80 kilogrammes of silver, worth, in
all, Sl46,OO0,OO0.
In Asia, the annual product is 2,700 kilo-
grammes ofgold, and 1000 silver amount
ing in value to $22, 100000.
I'm Africa, no silver mines are wrought,
and only 1920 kilogrammes of gold are pro-
duced, valued at $2,O00,0OO.
" Australia, 100, yields no silver, but the an
nual product of gold amounts to 290,360
kilogrammes, valued at $500 100000.
"Sum total in all parts of the world, 5l0,l
kilogrammes of gold, and l,026,624 kilo-
grammes of silver, valued together at 1885,
100000 francs, or over 1897, 100000. The
whole sum extracted from the earliest times up
to the present will amount to l5,3l4,653 kilo.
grammes of gold and 254, ,40,l70 of silver
worth together something more than $40, $780,
100000"
The annual production of the precious metals
at the present time is enormous. At the pre-
sent rate, we gain more in fifty years than our
ancestors did in fifty centuries. The annual
increase Of gold and silver for the period OF
three years ending 1851 more than doubled
that of any previous year amounting to 60l,-
100000 francs; and in the last four years end
ing 1855 it has increased nearly l50 per cent
and now amounts to l,592,63l ,65l francs, or
$3lS,526,350.
America has furnished more gold and silver
double the amount-than Europe, Africa and
Australia put together; and only $2O,O00,000
less than Asia has furnished since the begin
ming of the world
