The Snake that swallowed a Hor.e

In the province of Goyaz, DR.. Gardner
came to the fazenda af Sape, situated at the
foot of the Sierra de Santa Brida. near the en-
trance to small valley. DR.. G. remarked,
this valley, and throughout this province,
the anaconda attains an enormous size, some
times reaching forty feet in length the lar
gest which he saw measured thirty-seven
feet in length but was not alive The Doc
tor in his Brazil and the Brazilians,' thus
describes the manner in which it had been
taken:
"Some weeks before our arrival at Sape,
the favorite riding horse ofSenhor Lagoeira
which had been put out to pasture not far
from the house. could not be found, although
strict search was made all over the fazenda
Shortly after this, one his vaqueiros (herds-
men), iii going through the wood by the side
OF small stream, saw an enormous sucuruu
suspended in the fork of a tree which hung
over the water. 1t was dead, but had evil

and being in an inert state, it had not been
able to extricate itself from the fork before
the water fell Ii was dragged out to the
open country by two horses, and was found
W iiedSuTe tilfll l-SeNcu leeI III lenBJn.
On opening it. the homes of q horse in a
somewhat broken condition, and the flesh in
"a half digested state, were found in it: the
bones of the head were uniniured. From
these circumstances we concluded that the
boa had swallowed the horse entire. In all
kinds of snakes the capacity fer swallowing
is prodigious. | have often seen one not
thicker than my thumb swallow frog as
large as my fist; and l once killed rattle
snake four feet long, and of no great thick
ness, which had swallowed not less than three
large frogs. | have also seen n very slender
snake that frequents the roofs of houses swal
low an entire bat three times its own thick
ness. If such be the case with these smaller
kinds, it is not to be wondered at that one
thirty seven feet long should be able to swal
low horse, particularly when it is known
that previously to doing SO, it breaks the
bones of the animal by coiling itstelf around
it, and afterward lubricates it with a Shiny
matter, which it has the power of secreting
in its mouth

gB- An extraordinary effort is made by
the Lecompton press of this State to claim
Douglas for their side Every scrap from
his speeches which can be tortured in any
manner into support of the President is
made use of in this sore emergency. This
worthless labor proves the expediency shrek
ers think themselves not able to lose the
little giant" He is of too much value to a
party to be thrown away. His powerful in
huence is no light thing to be braved. The
diligent search which is made for a sentence
that can convey the least consolation or hope
to Lecomptonites in distress. shows that they
hang upon his opinions. Journal

The PETTIcoAT FLAG OF THE FREE-The
Americans, at Victoria, asked permission to
rear liberty-pole, to which they would put
the star-spangled flag. The request was in
stantly denied. "Well," said the crowd,
Lets raise pole and stick the flag of all
nations to it," And so they did what they
said they would do, and a pctticoat waved
from the liberty pole Our distant country
men exhibited singular good taste in adopt.
ing substitute for their national coors; if
not the real flag of the free, it is no less em
blematic and inspiring man who would
not do his duty under either, is unworthy of

EARTuoUAKE.-At exactly nine minutes be-
fore / o'clock, Wednesday night, says the 5
F. Herald, our city was visited with strong
shock ofan earthquake. The oscillations ap-
peared to be from East to West, followed by
low, rumbling sound, deep in the bowels of
the earth. Our citizens generally, or rather
those up at that hour, took big stampede,
and rushed out of the buildings with fear and
trembling. The theaters were quickly empti-
ed of portion of their audiences, and knots
ofpeople gathered in the centre of our widest
streets, looking anxiously at the buildings on
either hand The Plaza seemed to afford a
iavorite place of refuge from the anticipated
evil and was soon populated by several
hundreds of citizens. male and female.

KISSES MORE Precious THAN JEwELs.-A
night or two ago, a fair, sweet girl, residing
on Race. near Fourth street, was partially
awakened from her slumbers by man in her
chamber, but not fully aroused she lay with
closed lips for minute, when, the sound be-
ing repeated she started up and saw by the
light of the little jet upon the gas burner,
mans form disappearing through the window.
.,he screamed invountarily, and her father,
armed with revolver, was in her room in
few moments, greatly agitated and alarmed.
The parent was disposed to think his
daughter had been dreaming, when, in look.
ing aroud, he observed upon his daughters
dressing bureau, where beautiful enameled
watch, pair of heavy bracelets. diamond
ring. and necklace were lying, a slip OF pa
per, on which was written.

rob. but your beauty made me honest for the

PoLITIoAL MEETING AT FoLsoM-A cores

over one hundred persons being present from

the indisposition Of j. q. McKibben that

Republican Ticker.

We publish in another column as an advertisement
the Republican State and County Ticket. We would
be ready to do the same thing for any other party
who were without organ. 1t will be seen that the
names OF Hon. J. c. McKibben and John Currey ap-
pear in the Republican ticket. This fact has been
made a handle against by the Lecompton party,
but it signifies nothing than this That the Re-
pubiicans prefer the Democratic candidate for Su-
preme Judge, Mr.. Currey, to the Lecompton candi-
date, Baldwin, for the same position because they
think Currey is better man and they know well that
they cannot elect man of their own and thew en-
dorse the Democratic candidate, McKibben for Con-
gress, because they have their own reasons as Rcpu
icans' for wishing to give the Administration rebuke,
and since they cannot elect of their own strpe
they prefer seeing ele tied of different politics
from themselves to allowing the Administration to
go unrebuked In helping ticket generally through
out the State they do for the that they pre-
fer an honest Democrat who will faithfully carry out
the principle of the Kansas Nebraska BILL ev n
though it should operate occasionally in favor Of a
Free State, to dishonest Democrat who will refuse
to carry out that principle the moment it ceases to op
crate in favor of slavery At the same time thev
