a Snake Story.

A singular instance Of the tenacity with
which a snake clings to life was told us this
morning, as having occurred two weeks since,
on tho farm Of Mr.. Kimble, on the Eastern
Extension road, four miles west Of Washing
ton. Mr.. Kimble's man, while working in the
field with spade, thought he heard snake
passing near in the high weeds. He sat
down the spade at random, and, as it hap
pened, fair upon the snake, cutting him
clean in two. Inlooking, the man could find
but one half, but on further search discover
ed that the other had entered hole near
by. Snpposipg the snake to have been q
usually large one, ard that he had only nip.
ped off the tail; after chopping it into frag-
ments, he laid it on the fence and thought
no more of it. The piece he had cut off was
about eighteen inchis bng. Nearly week
subsequent, whils working near the same
place, he was snprised to discover the ether
part Of his snakeship, which consisted Of the
head and about six inchs of the body. 1,
was still alive, and with the exception of
making PRETTY slow time, seemed 10 be do
ing as well AZ ever. This snske had actual
ly lived and travelled and travelled about for
nearly week, having lost three fourths OF
its former sell, and there is no telling beth.
er he would not have acquired good old
age, but that his. first prosecutor denied him
that pleasure. Peoria Onion.

What Could be Done.
NJ FINLEY JOHNSON.

What deeds Of goodness might be done
Ifmen would love each other,
And cease to look with eyes Of scorn,
Upon an eriing brother: ,.-.,..,
Then would the world with Joy unite,
And live and love--and act the right.
The strong heart then might be subducd
With drops Of loving kindness,
And light be dispensed unto n Sc
The eyes Of mental blindness;
And angels from tie realms above.
Would shelter US with wings Of love
Then would indeed all misery
And crime die out together,
And happiness to all be free
As dew in summer weather;
And all Mankind would then unite
In battling for the cause ofright.

TIE NINTH or MAY IN MASSACHUSETTS AND
IN MrssIssIPrI.-This day will be an important
one In the States Of Massachusetts, and in Missis-
sippi In Massachusetts, the people will vote
upon that proposition from the late Legislature
providing for an amendment of the State consti-
tuition, whereby, If adopted, the foreign born
citizen will be denied the right of suffrage for
two additional years after the completion of his
naturalization. But In this view, such stir of
indignation has been excited among the German
elements of the republican camp, from Maine to
Minnesota, that we suspect this invidious re-
striction will be voted down by the very party
which passed it through the Legislature. But,
should it be carried by grand turnout of the
Natives, then we may expect a very serious
rebellion among the Germans of the republican
party everywhere.
In Mississippi and at Vicksburg, on the same
day as Aforesaid, that extraordinary annual
gathering Of fire eating politicians filibusters
and noisy declaimers of Southern rights, called
the Southern Commercial Convention, will
assemble. They meet every year simultaneously
with our women's rights, free love, spiritual,
abolition and infidel anniversary gatherings of
the North; and North and South, we may pro-
perly put all these visionary reformers aud revo-
lutionists into the same bag and shake them
up together. To be sure, these Southern
Commercial Conventions are free from the dis
gushing admixtures of whites, negroes and mu-
lattoes, old women in breeches, and foolish wo-
men who would be men in petticoats, silly
Migrants and crazy infdels; but STILL in prac-
teal view, even woman's rights COW ention is
about as useful, and not so mischievous, as one
of these Southern Commercial assemblages.
We predict that the sayings and doings of this
one at Vicksburg will be limited pretty much to
such branches of commerce as the African slave
trade, filibustering, and violent Southern Sec
tional African slave trade and filibustering
party for the next Presidency. But as the labors
of this grooming mountain always result in the
delivery of mouse, we are not disposed in this
case to feel much alarm. The Millerites so
often disappointed, may appoint another day of
Judgment, but only the weakest of lunatics will
believe in it,

WASHINGTON May 8, 1863.
The Mobile Register of Tuesday last contains the reply of
OK Minister Forsyth to the recent editorial in the Con
ton, which assigned certain why he was not sent
back as Minister to Mexico He says that the records Of
the Department show that is unequivocaly false that
he was the s foreign Minister to recognize the Zuloaga
government and that just the Of this truehe
was the last and that 1t after this that the Juarez 60
vernment was formed at Queretaro. He adds that is
the reverse Of truth that he obnoxious the liberal
party and to his notorious sympathy for that he
was indebted for the hatred and hostility Of the Zuoaga
government resulting at last in forcing him to break off
his relations with it, He severely crteses the Of
the administration towards him.
