A MONSTER REPTLE.-A correspondent Of
the Arlington Democrat, writing from Walnut
Hill, Lee county, Va, who is, as the Democrat
assures its readers, "a gentleman in whom i'm
plicit confidence may be placed, gives the fol-
lowing account of the killing of monster rep
tile in Harlan county, Ky. He says:
About three weeks ago five men went to
gather whorte- berries in the mountainous part
of Harlan county, Kentucky, and in their ira
vels came to small branch at the foot of
steep ridge, where they discovered smooth
beaten batch, or rather slice, that led from the
branch up the ridge. Curiosity tempting them
to know its meaning, they followed the trail to
/ the top Of the ridge where, to their astonish-
ment, they found about an acre of ground
perfectly smooth and destitute of vegetation,
near the centre of which they discovered a
small sink or cave large enough to admit a
salt barrel.
They concluded to drop in few stones, and
presently their ears were sauted with loud,
rumbling sound accompanied with a rafting
U
pearance, blowing and spreading his head, and
his forked tongue protruded The men were
struck with wonder and alright, and suddenly
the atmosphere was filed with a smell so nau-
seating that three out of the five were taken
very sick F; the other two, discovering the con-
dition of their companions, dragged them away
from that abode of death. About ten feet of
the snake had, to their judgement, made its
appearance, when they hurried home and told
what they had seen to their neighbors.
The next day were mounted some ten of
the hardy mountaineers armed with rifles,
determined to destroy the monster. On ap-
preaching within one hundred yards of the
dwelling of his snakeship, their horses sudden
ly became rcstiff, and neither kindness nor
force could make them go any nearer. The
men dsmounted and hitching their horses, pro-
ceeded on foot, with rifles cooked, to the mouth
of the cave. They hurled in three or four
large stones and fell back some fifteen steps,
when the same noise was heard as before, and
out came the dreadful reptile, ready, as his
looks indicated, to crush the intruders
About the same length Of the snake had APP
pearcd from the hole, when eight or ten bull
lets went through his head, and as the mon
ster died, he kept crawling out until twenty
feet of that huge boa lay motionless on the
ground. II was a rattlesnakc with twenty
eight rattles-the first was four inches in d.
ameter the rest decreasing in size to the last
With difficulty the men dragged him home
and his skin can now be seen by the curious
in Harlan county.

The GREAT ELEvAToR-A Southern gentle
man at a Nothern hotel, perceiving that the
dinng-room servant, a negro, was bestowng
his attention elsewhere, to his own neglect,
called up John, and accosted him in this wise !:
"John, | have servants at home and am
waited on as gentleman should be. | am
neglected here, and | am tired of it. give
you fair notice, that will whip you like dog,
unless you behave better"
The consequence was, that John became
very attentive during the few days that the
gentleman remained. On going away, John
was called up and presented with dollar or
two, which he thus acknowledged:
"Thahkee- e-massa. Southern gentlemen al
ways so-lck us like blazes when we don't wait
on 'em well, but when they go, alters glib us
dollar or two Now desc abolition gemmen
mighty hard to suit, and want much waiting
on, and when they go way, shake yer hand,
look up to the wall an say, God bless you my
unfortunate friend, and elevate you in the
scale of humanity or something like that, but
dey neber glib us dollar to elevate us with. y

Mr. BUcHANAN.-A Washington correspond
ent of the Charleston Mercury thus describes
the personal appearance of Mr.. Buchanan, for
merly and at present; | remember the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Buchanan in olden times
when Jackson was President when he was
broad, firm, strong and energetic in appear
ance, and quick in motion. He is now quiet
in his movements, gentle in his manner, and
seemingly conscious of the necessity of con-
stant care of himself, as well as of everything
else. His features are longer, and his skin has
that soft white appearance which we only see
in elderly persons of temperate life and absti-
nence from outdoor exposure. The pictures
represent him as having crooked neck, but
this proceeds only from difference in the fsci
of the eyes, which he ought to have had reme-
died in early life The eye of lesser power he
advances toward the object he looks upon, and
of course depresses the opposite side of the
head. often pass him in the evening hours,
within or near the Presidential gardens. His
honors rest so easily upon him, that those who
talk with him, like himself, forget that he is
President, and think only Of the urbane gen.

Our PARrY.-The Democratic party repre-
sents the great principle of progress. 1t is on
ward and outward in its movement 1t has a
heart for action, and motives for world. 1t
constitutes the principle of diffusion, and is to
humanity what the centrifugal force is to the
revolving orbs of universe What motion is
to them, democracy is to principle 1t is the
soul in action. 1t conforms to the providence
of God. 1t has confidence in man, and an
abiding reliance in his high destiny 1t seeks
the largest liberty, the greatest good and the
surest happiness. 1t aims to build up the
great interest of the many to the least detr-
ment of the few. 1t remembers the past with
out negectng the present 1t establishes the
present without fearing to provide for the fu-
ture 1t cares for the weak, while it permits
no injustice to the strong 1t conquers the
oppressor, and prepares the subjects oftyranny
for freedom. 1t melts the bigot's heart to
meekness, and reconciles his mind to know-
edge. 1t dispels the clouds of ignorance and
superstition, and prepares the people for in
struction and self-respect. 1t adds wisdom TO
legislation, and improved judgment to govern
ment 1t favors enterprise that yields a re-
ward to the many, and an industry that is
permanent. 1t is the pioneer of humanity
the conservator of nations. II faLls only aohen

WHAT BLACK REPUBLIcANIsM I.-Disguise
ii however you may, with aowery rhetoric
and didactic philanthropy, Black Republi-
canism is at root a protest against, and denial
of, that coequal liberty and sovereignty Of
States and people which constitute American
republicanism. Such denial will be sus.
tanned by no man whose talents or patriotism
fit him to do service to the nation; and hence
it is that truly great men of the North, the mer
upon whose ample front genius, and learning
and love of country, have set deep their sig
nets, turn from field where labor is treason
and success ruin. They may daily awhile on
the brink of the precipice, and the soft voice
of popular applause may WOO them to look
down the steep, but if there is that in them o
which heroes and statesmen are made, they
will turn from the gulf, though every Faneu
Hall on earth close its portals in their faces. II
there be the stuff of greatness in them, they
will chain their souls to no such galley oar
Hence it is, that on every field of wide public
usefulness, the abolitionist is an unknown
name, but leader in every walk of dshonor
and iniamy The charge is a grave one, but
its justification is the history of Black Repub
lcanism.

JAcKsoN's SIGNATURE time in 1885
or 1886 gentleman in Tennessee became in.
involved and wanted money; he had property
and owed debts. His property was not avail
able just then, and off he posted to Boston,
backed by the names Of several of the best
men in Tennessee Money was tight, and
Boston bankers looked closely at the names.
"very good, said they, "but but--do you
know General JacksonY"
Certainly"
"Could you get his indorsements"
"Yes, but he is not worth one-tcnth as
much as either of these men whose names
offer you"
"No matter, General Jackson has always
protected himself and his paper, and wen let
you have the money upon the strength of his
name"
In few days the papers with his signature
arrived. The moment these Boston bankers
saw the tall A and long J of Andrew jackson,
our Tennessean says he could have raised a
hundred thousand dollars upon the signature
without the slightest difficulty.
So much for an established character for
honesty. If men have differed with Andrew
Jackson politically, no man could deny him
the merit of being an honest man.

HEART FLOWERS.
by ALICE CAREY.

tell you God is good as well as just,
And some few flowers in every heart are sown,
Their black and crumpled leaves show but as dust !;
Sometimes in the hard soil, sometimes oergrown
With wild, unfriendly weeds they hidden lie,
Untouched of sunshine, but they do not die.
Kept from natural quickenng by the might
OF sin or circumstance, through evil days
They find their way at last into the light,
Weakly and faint giving their little praise
or modest beauty, and with grace most sweet
Making the garden of the Lord complete.

AssArLr AND RoBuiSe.-A bold and cowarily
assault and robbery occurred last Friday night.
It seems from the evidence elected before Alder
man Wright that three men, two Of them named
Mounts aud the other Craig, induced a stranger
naned Hess, who had been drinking with them
IN house on Water street, to start out in the
S,'y under pretence of going to some disreputa-
Ole house. They went out in the vicinity OF
Smiths Brewry,and there one of the first named
'a''ans stole up behind aud knocked Hess down
with brick When down one of them choked
.la' while the other rified his pockets of some
E'i' or $l55. They were followed up by the
police and all arrested, and after their exanina-
don on Saturday, were committed to Jail to
await their regular trial.

'nF0ugh its ienouenient. We have no other
standard of comparison than Nj. Booth in this
Piece never having seen any one else in the

+'to'c and calculated to appeal rather to the
~ wings than the judgments of his auditors

AeRoosERy, near Alexander Station, on the
S'cnbcnviilc and Indianna Railroad, says the
S'enbenville Herald, was demolished some two
weeks ago by farmers residing in the immedi-
ate vicinity, who assembled at night, stoned the
house, compelling the landlord to flee for life,
and his wife to pray for protection. Barrels of
whisky were rolled out of tic shanty-the
heads shocked in, and their precious contents
permitted to flow dewn the hill in extravagant
prOfusion. In that vicinity, whether in compli-
aacc with the spirit of the Constitution or not,
1t is very evident that the temperance cause
goes brayely."
