Here is description Of deadly fight 10
Java between apcrocOdile and boa con-
strietor, With a'nrodkey looking on, delight
seds
Il was one morning that stood beside a
small lake, fed by one Of the rills from the
mountains The waters were clear as crys-
tai, and everything could be seen to the
very bottom. Stretching its limbs close
over this pond was gigantic teak tree. and
in its ever thick, shining, evergreen leaves
lay huge boa, in an easy coil taking bis
morning nap. Above him was a powerful
ape, Of the baboou species, leering race Of
scamps, always bent on mischief. Now the
ape, from his position, saw crocodile in
the water rising to the top exactly beneath
the coil Of the serpent. Quick as thought
be jumped plump upon the snake, which
fell with splash, into the jaws Of the croc-
odle. The ape saved himself by ciiaging
to limb of the tree, but battle royal i'm.
mediately commenced in the water. The
serpent grasped in the middle by the croc
odile. made The waters boil by his furious
,contortioos Winding bis folds round and
round his antagonist, he disabled bis two
hinder legs, and by his contractious made
the scales of the monster crack. The water
was speedily tinged with the blood of
both the combatants, yet neither WAS dis
posed to yield. They rolled over and over
and over, neither being able to obtain de-
cided advantage. All this time the cause
of the mischief was in state of the highest
ecstacy. He leaped up and down the
branches of the tree, came several times
close to the scene of the fght, shook the
limbs of the tree. uttered yell, and again
frisked about. At the end of ten minutes,
silence began to come over the scene.
The folds of the serpent began to be relax
&c, and though they were trembling along
the back, the head hung llfeless 10 the wa
tee. The crocodile was also still, aud
Though only the spine Of the back was visi-
Bile, It was evident that he, too, was dead.
The monkey now perched himself on The
lower limb OF the tree, close to the dead
hodies, and amused himself for ten minutes
In making all sorts OF faces at them. One
of my companions was standing at q short
distance, and taking a stone from the edge
of the lake hurled it at the ape. He was
totally unprepared, and as It struck him on
the side of the head, be was instantly top
pied over, and fell upon the crocodile. A
few bounds, however, brought him ashore,
and taking to the tree he speedily disappear
ed among the branches.

There is tremendous organization of

in the crowd has some time or other had his
head broken, but not without first breaking
two or three other heads. They will beat
any Kansas boys all hollow. Every man
is walking magazine. They intend to
bring back the heads of JEFF. Davis, Wise,
Letcher, Bragg and Beauregard, with q

There is frankness about this report
of Mr.. Chase which we like. He opens his
books and shows us every figure in his ac-
count. He tells the country that there will
be considerable burdens that our public
debt in July next will be over $500, 1000, 900,
and then the July succeeding nearly $780,
O00,OO0; shows us that we are running in
debt more than million dollars per day
but his confidence in our national resources
is so great, that he thinks we can pay off
both principal and interest in thirty years.
In other words we can save this Govern
ment by thirty years of toil-and these
thirty years of toll the country will gladly
contribute. His other recommendations are
wise and proper, and in all of them we con-
cur. He reiterates the sentiment that "oom-
merce shall follow the flag" and thinks
that whenever ports are opened in the South,
they should be opened without restriction,
and all commerce freely permitted. A COM
pliment to the Coast Survey, and recon-
mendation that steps be taken for establish
ing decimal currency over the world
close his report.
The Secretary of the Treasury has done
his work we'll. Few documents of any
Cabinet minister exhibit such a high order
of craftsmanship. He grasps his great theme
with courage and boldness, and masters its
many embarrassing and difficult details.
And while there must be discussion and
difference of opinion as to the various
measures he has proposed, the country will
certainly join with us in applauding the
ability and devotion he has exhibited in his
high and responsible position Philadelphia

Remember the Poor.

Winter is upon us. This is the season
when more or less Suffering is always ex.
perienced- especially in large cities. There
doubtless will be much suffering among our
brave volunteers in camp and field this win
ter. Notwithstanding the provision which has
been made for their comfort both by Govern
ment and private contributions. But the
influence Of winter will not alone be expe-
rienced by the soldiers engaged in their
country's cause. The hard times have left
hundreds and thousands almost destitute aud
the chilling days and icy nights of winter
will bring additional hardships upon the
poor. While providing blankets, mittens and
other comforts for our troops, let us not for
get or neglect the shivering and destitute
women and children in our midst. Let our
charitable associations be energetic and busy,
and our W ell to do citizens thoughtful and
benevolent to the poor, whom we have al
ways with u.s."
There is scarce neighborhood in which
there is not some one needy aud suffering
1t requires but little time to look around and
ascertain where want and suffering exist. II
you can lot do much, do what you can, be 1t
ever so little and the pleasure experienced
from the consciousness of having relieved a
suffering fellow mortal will fully compensate
for the time, expense and trouble. If you
can not do more, give a word of cheer (but a

, The last number Of Punch contains half a
dozen cuts at America, including one half
page pictorial. The wit Of these is so small
as to be scarcely distiDguishable, but the
malice is obvious, as usual. The engraved
satire, called "The Willful Boy" represents
the United States as very small urchin,
sword and pistol in hand, who exclaims, "I
will fght-I will have a national debt like
other peoplep' John Bull, stout and sturdy,
holds little Jonathan by the ear and says
"Ifyou knew as much about Sighting as ]
do, you'd keep quiet" Precisely so. Mr..
Bulls pugnacity has cost him $4,000, 600, 900,
which he owes and can not pay, a1d the an
nual interest drawn from the poor British, is
$l5o,OOOOOO a year. When Punch sneers at
Jonathan's fighting, he forgets that exactly
one fourth of the national debt of England
was incurred, between l776 and 1888, in at
tempting to crush freedom in America.

The Expected war with England

ne fXpeCIeO war WIN EnElnud
Those who may have felt any alarm that
IT, seizure of Messrs. Slidell and Mason on
board an English packet would induce
Great Britain to involve herself in war
with this country, no doubt have pretty well
assured themselves, by this time, that there
is but little room to expect such result.
There are, says the Baltimore Clipper, too
many reasons to deter her from such a sui
cidal course. We have already shown that
the threatened starvation of large and i'm
portant portion of her empire-Irelsnd-is
Ofitselfasurety that weshall have no trouble
from her, at least to any extent She will
no doubt bluster, and fume, and fret, when
she first receives the news, but the calm,
sober, second thought will induce her to con-
cede the fact that we have the law on our
side, and also her own precedents and de-
Cisions
In addition to these considerations, she
would add manifold TO her own internal
troubles, on account of the short supply of
cotton to keep her manufacturers employed,
ard any step at this time calculated to add
10 the price of bread to her people, which a
war with this country would assuredly pro.
duce, would be more likely to require all her
spare troops near her own capital than per-
NIT them to be sent to this country. Our
war requiring less imports, and our new
tariff decreasing also the amount of foreign
imports, has lessened the demand for British
manufactures and consequently crippled the
internal resources OF Great Britain, and she
could lily afford TO lose the balance of our
custom for her goods; in fact, the Interrupt
lion of the import trade between this coun-
try and the nations of Europe, occasioned by
our intestine war, and the economy which
our people have been practicing in conse-
quence, has been most severely felt by them
all, and has opened the eyes of their politi-
cal economists apd statesmen, more than any
other event, TO- the value of our trade and
commerce with them.
There is still one more consideration, in
this connection, which must not be over
looked, and an all-importsnt one it is: with
nll her talk about free trade, England has
managed to keep on duty upon our tobacco
which has yielded an annual revenue of up.
ward of taOeRty miIliond While, therefore
her expenses would be more than doubled by
war with us her revenue would probably
be lessened inyan equal ratio and her inter
est on her public debt is now one hundred
and thirty millions, which is to be provided
for; also, therefore. with languisbing trade
at home, her commerce crippled abroad, and
a starving population in Ireland, and this
country the only source of supply to feed
them, our readers can determine very read
lily for themselves what prospect there is fol
England going to war with US on falSt
issue, as it certainly would be, were she tC
assume such an attitude as that, in conse.
guence of our seizure of the traitor Slidel
and companions.
