OF The commercial revulsion has
crushed party politics. 1t has been the
death OF ultraism. There is nothing
more sickening to the ears Of men, than
the twaddle between Old Line Democ-
racy and Republlcanism. Whatever its
pecuniary and commercial losses may be,
there will be one great gain to the coun-
try in the peace and harmony Of its po-
litical relations. The people will begin
to Judge men according to their moral
worth and ability rather than by their
INSCRIPTIONS adherence to party. In
the midss of the CONFUSION the elections
are passing almost unnoticed. None
but the candidates and the hucksters OF
Office appear interested in the returns.
Kansas is almost forgotten while people
have been listening for the reports Of
bank explosions.

" Kentucky hospitality never had
a nobler exemplification than during the
past week at Henderson. Strangers
have been received into private houses
with the cordiality and kindness that old
and intimate friends could alone expect
to meet. The hearts of the crowds OF
visitors were filled with thanks and
kindly sentiments towards their hospi
table entertainers. Among those who
took friendless strangers to their homes,
none did it with more heartiness and
graciousness than Doctor OFFUTT and
his lady, to whom some Of our Evans
Vile ladies feel themselves under debt
Of gratitude.

has property, is at the mercy of the

an impossibility. The legislature can

A Monster Reptile.

A correspondent of the Abingdon Democrat,
writing from Walnut Hill, Lee county, Va,
who is, as the Democrat assures its readers, "a
gentleman in whom implicit confidence may
be placed" gives the following account of the
killing of monster reptile in Harlan county,
Ky. He says
about three weeks ago five men went out to
gather whortleberries in the mountainous part
of Harlan county, TX entucky, and in their trav-
els came to a small branch at the foot of a
steep ridge, where they discovered smooth
beaten path, or rather slide, 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
astonishment, they found an acre of ground
perfectly smooth aud 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 saluted with a
loud, rumbling sound, accompanied with rat
tling noise ; and an enormous serpent made
its appearance, blowing and spreading his head,
and his forked tongue protruded. The men
were struck with wonder and alright, and
suddenly the atmosphere was filled with a smell
so nauseating that three of the five men were
taken very sick the other two discovering the
condition of their companions, dragged them
away from that abode of death. About ten
feet of the snake had, to their judgment, 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, de
termined to eestrOy the monster. Onapproach
ing within one hundred yards of the dwelling
| of his snakeship, their horses suddenly became
restive, and neither kindness nor force could
make them go any nearer. The men dsmount
ed, and htching their horses, proceeded on
foot with rifles cooked, to the mouth of the
cave. They hurled in three or four large
stones, aud fell back some fifteen steps, when
the same noise was heard as heard before
and out came the dreaded reptile, ready as hi:
looks indicated, to crush the intruders
About the same length of the snake haC
appeared from the hole, when eight or ten buI
lets went through his head, and as the mon
ster died he crept crawling out, until twenty
feet of that huge boa lay motoness ON the
ground. 1t was rattlesnake with twenty
eight rattes-the first was four inches in diam
eter, the rest decreasing in sibe to the last
With difficulty the men dragged him hom., ant
his skin can now be seen by the curious in Har
Ian county,"
