An EXPERIMENT WITH RATTLEsNAKBs.-The
Hartford Times is publishing series of sketch
es of revolution times, entitled "South Wind
sor Sketches" from which we extract the fol-
lowing: Mr.. Thomas Bancroft, father Of the
present James Bancroft, of this town, convey
ed load of salt to Mount Independence, on
Lake Chmaplain, opposite Ticonderoga, while
the army was stationed there. His team con-
sisted of pair Of large cattle and horse in
front. While there, den containing numerous
rattlesnakes was discovered on the bill. An
experiment was instituted to test their antipa-
thy to the white ash leaf A row of Ash leaves
were strewn around the den on three sides,
and the circle was completed by row of brush
wood. A sheaf of straw placed in cavity at
the windward side of the den was then set on
fire, and their snakeships soon made their ap-
pearance in great numbers within the ring.
On approaching the ash leaves they recoiled,
apparently with the greatest dread, and actu-
ally passed through the fire in their reatreat
towards the lake, in preference to passing over
the white ash leaves.

The U. S. ARMY.-The Army of the United
States consists of nineteen regiments, comprs.
ing in all one hundred and ninety eight com
panies When these companies are full the
aggregate force amounts to 1884 men. The
army in 1912 numbered about 5000. In fif-
teen years it has been increased by about
10000. The proposition comes from the War
Department, in its Annual Report, to increase
the army at once to the extent of five new
regiments or, in other words, to add some
thing over a-fourth to its existing force. This
proposition is modified by the War Committee
of the Senate, of which the late Secretary OF
War, Jefferson Davis, is Chairman, in the fol-
lowing manner: The Committee propose in
stead Of adding new regiments to the army, to
add thirty companies to the existing regiments,
and 10 increase the number of men in each
company. The result proposed is the same in
each case, namely, an addition to the aggre.
gate army force; only the proposition of the
Secretary of War would add but about 4500
men, while that of the Senate adds $3.50.

PURCHASE OF SONORA BY THE GovERNMENT.-
From q private letter from New York to gen.
tleman in St Louis, we make the following
important extract. The writer is Californian,
and doubtless speaks by the card:
"There are parties of influence from Cali.
fornia and Arizona now at Washington, urging
the purchase by our government of the State
Of Sonora, Mexico, and there is no doubt but
that the administration will buy it. Negotia-
tions are now progressing with that view. |
know that Mexico has proposed to sell, for that
country is of no use to her, it being overrun
by the Apache and other Indians, who are a
terror to the inhabitants and, however the
troubles now existing in that distracted re-
public may terminate, the government, if any
be established at all, will need and must have
money. The parties urging this matter want
Guymas for port of entry, for without it
Arizona and the adjacent country will be Of
comparatively little value. They expect to get
as far down as the 2Sth parallel, taking in a
part of Sinaloa,"

THE KISS.

Give me kiss, one kiss of love,
Come, Agnes, press thy lip to mine,
And ever more, all else above,
I'll cherish that first kiss of thine.
Oh on thy lip, let all the soul
OF passions bliss be hung till /,
Fired by love above control,
In that blest moment f,tin could die.
Stay, let me feel once more the flow,
OF thy soft ringlets DER my brow,
Till heart and lip with rapture glow,
And life seems almost quenched as now.
Look on me, love, look on me yet,
Gaze with those ardent, burning eyes,
Till /, in tremuous joy, forget
Too soon love with Its rapture flies.

TRUTH SIMPLY ExPREssED.-It is not what
people eat, but what they digest, that makes
them strong. 1t is not what they gain, but
what they save, that makes them rich. 1t is
not what they read, but what they remember,
that makes them learned. 1t is not what they
profess, but what they practice, that makes
them righteous. These are very plain and
important truths, too little needed by gluttons,
spendthrfts, bookworms and hypocrites.

! CERTIFIoATE.-The undersigned, desirous Of ac
quaintng those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted where permanent relief Of their
suferngs may be obtained, feels it his duty TO thus
publicly express his sincere gratitude TO Dr. LED. Gap
kay for the permanent recovery of his health. Borne
down by the distressing symptoms incident to the vi
cous practices of uncomfortable passion in de
pressed in body and mind-unabe to perform even the
most trifiing duty imposed the daily avocatons Of
lifeI sought the advice of many physicians, who at
first regarded my disease Of trng importance but
alas after a few weeks, and in several instances
months Of their treatment, found, to my unuterable
horror, that instead OF relief the symptoms became
more alarming in their torture and being finally told
by one that the disease being principally confined tn
the brain, medicines would be Of little consequence
despaired Of ever reganing my health, strength and
energy and as last resort and with but faint hope
called upon DR.. Czapkay, who after examining my
case prescribed medicine which almost instantly
relieved me Of the dull pain and dizziness in my head
Encouraged by this result, resolved to place myself
Immediately under his care, and by strict obedience
To his directions and advice my head became clear, my
ideas collected, the constant pain in my back and
grons the weakness of my limbs the nervous reaction

lowed by involuntary discharges have all disappeared
and In fact In two months after having consulted the
Doctor, felt it inspired by new fe-that life
which but short time ago contemplated TO end by
my own hand. With a view to guard the unfortunate
from falling into the of incompetent quacks,
deem il my duty to offer this testimony To the merit
and skill of DIR. Czapkny, and recommend him 10 all who
may stand in need Of medical advice, being assured by
my experience that under his radical
