Senator So,llo on Democracy

Soulc former Dem ,cra,c Senator in Congress
from Louisiana, seems to understand Democracy
fully as well ~ Mr.. Calhoun, and gives us life
like picture of the organization. In n recon,
speech reported by himself, hc speaks Of tho or
ganization. us "a nbuient. .ttcttons, and desJ'ot
ic coalition of those whose only object is to GIN,
themselves Nth poorer and rcaih and who would
make party discipline aud organization subscrNicnt
to their ncfarious Designs"
This picture of Democracy is ugly enough. bu,
it is lte-lke, and displays every ncamcnt in the
repulsiyc features Of that corrupt organization,
known us the National Democratic Party" Mt
only was the painter OF this picture Democratic
senator but he was Piercc's Minister to the Court
Of Madrid, in Spnin.

Terrific Fight With a Rnttlcsnakc.

We have hitherto supposed the day long since
passed for chronicling big snake fight in the Vi,

not the case, from scene which recently transpi-

Some of the older residents will remember build

six miles distant from PEORIA and which was de.

the same location, and all that has remained rs

terms which had been kept covered up.
Last week the proprietor OF the place, while
busy with his wife in preparing their summer flow
or garden, found himself in want of u few bricks
for the edge OF the walks. Remembering the els.
terms, he uncovered one of them, and finding dry

jumped in. and commenced throwing out some of
the best brick he could pick from the walls 1t
seems there was piece of plank with one end
partially imbedded in the earth that somewhat in

pulled it out and threw it to the top.
What was his horror and surprise, ut the next
moment, to find that he had unearthed an enor-
nous rattlesnnke, and himself without weapon
in his hand! As the cistern was round and ONLY
about five feet in diameter. he could not Jump out.

defiance was ready for battle. His screams brought
his wife to the scene, but she was so overcome
with fright tina she became powerless to render
any assistance. The snake, in the meantime, had
commenced the fghi, making repeated springs ut
him. but fortunately he managed "n each ~ sion
