..rha Danger OF OYcr-ConGdence.

The Danger Of Over-Confidence.
Is danger that recent successes of
our army and navy may lead us to under
estimate the lingering power OF rebellion.
i. The loyal States could not commit more
fatal error. It might incur the loss of all
advantages gained. We had some expert
ence Of this In an earlier period of the war.
/. The retreat of the rebel johnson from
Bowling Green, the capture of Fort Donel-
sou, Memphis, Nashville, and the occupa-
7. tion of Tennessee by General Buell. in the
spring Of 1867, filled the North with perfect
confidence of the rebellion's speedy down
/. fall. 1t was generally felt that but little
moro fighting would be needed to re-estab-
e. lish the complete Jurisdiction of the Union.
A fearful relaxation of military energy en-
sued at all points, while our enemies, i'm
proving every moment, reorganized aud
strengthened their broken columns for a
new campaign, and the beginning OF fall
found General Buell. retreating toward the
Ohio river, leaving Tennessee and three
fourths Of Kentucky to be trayersed by the
forces Of Buckner and Bragg. Washing
ton City was seriously mrhaced, and the
nation trembling for its flIe. For months
{. the rebellion appeared more formidable
than ever, and confidence pervaded the
South. We have always attributed the re-
verses we then sustained to the lack of
proper vigilance ana energy caused Dy tne
very successes of our arms. We underes-
'timated the power and determination Of
the foe.--Louisuille Journal.
= The trouble with our people all along has
been, that they have underestimate the
power and determination Of the fOe;" and
what seems inexplicable, they have not yet
gos over understanding the power and
determination of the foe." They think
now, as they thought in the spring of 1852
that but little more fighting will '.be need
edto re-establish the complete jurisdiction
of the Union" Now, as then, they feel
@perfect confidence of the rebellion's speedy
downfall" and this feeling of confidence
may induce the party in power to refuse to
'iaccede to terms on which Peace and Union
can now be secured. This the people have
much to fear.

IT is useless to conceal the fact that all
our people, of all parties, are anxious for
peace on almost any basis that will secure
the Union of the States, whether with
slavery or without. If any one doubts this,
we want no more convincing argument OF
the fact that he has not mingled with the

The washington correspondent of the
New York Ne,os, under late date, alleges
that ssthe course which General SHERMAN
Il pursuing In Georgiais creating no little
excitement in the Republican camp at
WashInQton City," The reason for this
commotion Is stated to be, that "that dis
tinguished and successful military COM
mander Is evidently bent upon pursuing
policy In order to crush the rebellion and
.restcre the Union, Is entirely at variance
with the views Of the radical politicians"
This statement is verified by Col. For
NEy's suggestion that 'the Generalsin COM
mand Of the armies, and the Admirals In
command Of the navies, of the Republic
twill be enabled to give such counsel as
cannot be beoverestimated by the civil author
ities, = derived from ''their knowledge of
she people among whom they have fought
during four bloody years." aud that this
counsel" so deriveu, will be against 'any-
thing like rash, impulsive and dangerous
legislation" Perhaps gentlemen in the Ad-
ministration ranks may ascertain before
long that Col. CoNNELL is not as far out of
the way with his resolutions as they have
been led to believe.

INFLUENCE OF FEMALES 1t ia bette,
Tor you TO pass an evening once or twice ,

conversation is slow, and you krow To,
glrPs songs by heart, than in a club, tavern
or pit of theatre. All amusement o
youth In which virtuous women are not ad
mltted, rely on 1t, are deleterious in theiI
nature. All men who avoid fem ale socie.
" have duh perceptions, and are stupid, OF
have gross taste J, and revolt against what
ls pure. Your club swaggerers, who wert
sucking the butts of bi lizard cues all night,
call female society insipid. Poetry is nm

ior blind mani music does not please
poor beast who does not know one tune
from another, but as true epicure is hard

bread and butter, Iprotcst can sit for a
whole night talking to a well-regulated
KINDLY woman about her girl Fanny or her
ment.
One of the great benefits a man NAV de.

bound to be respectful TO her. The habit

upon It. Our education makes us the most
EN- nently selfish men In the world. We

we yawn for ourselves, we light our pipes

NJ that comes 10 man from a woman's So

10 whom he is bound to be constantly at

DEATH OF JUDGE HALLIBURTON Thomas
Chandler Halliburton, better known to the
world as "Sam Slick, the Clockmaker," Is
one of two celebrated men whose deaths are
announced by the last steamer. He was
born at Windsor, Nova Scotia, in lT9C. was
educated at Kin g's College, and called to the
bar In his native county Subseuueptl,
he was chosen to the House of Assembly.
and afterward filled the Office of Chief u.s.
lice of the Common Pleas and NJ the So.
preme CouIt, Nova Scotia. His nrst lite
rsry adventure gave him a name, when, in
1885, he contribu ted to weekly paper
series OF articles, designed to carlcature
the Yankee character under the title,
lamentations of Sam Slick the Clockma-
ker." They were soon after collected il
volume, which, under the title of "The
Clocmksker, or Sayings and Doings of Sam
uel Slick Of Slickville," had a wide circu.
lation both in England and the United
states. His visit to England In 1912
produced THE Attachc, or Sam Slick 10

WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER IS, 1895.

STING OF REPTILEs.-In paper address,
ed to the Academy OF Sciences, DR.. Guyon
lays down the principle that the action oc
the venom of serpents as well ss scorpions
is indeutical on man as on beasts, a prop
osition he confirms by several observations
of his made both In the West Indies and
Algeria. Regarding It's violence, he says
there is gene. al belief abroad that Il Ia
much more powerful In summer than In
winter; but this he do not consider well
authenticated, and quotes against It the
case OF one Drake, an exhibitor Of snakt ,,
who, having in the winter Of 1897, at
Rouen, handled q rationale which he
took TO be dead while Il was only be-
numbed by the cold, was bitten byit, and
died In the course OF nine hours. From
considerable number of observations,
DIR Guyon concludes that the intensity or
power OF venom is less owing to difference
of season than to the length OF time It has
been accommodating in the reservoir Of the
reptile, and the greatest accumulation
necessarily occurs during the winter, be-
cause the animal is In a torpid state, and
does not take any food during the season &.
80 It was in the case Of Drake, and 30
Dr. Guyou found in that OF horned viper,
which had been given him at the caravan
seral of sidi-Makhlouf, Algeria. The
reptile had been put into bottle, which
had since remained Theoretically closed
It had been In there for six weeks without
food, and without air, and looked quite
dead, since 1t could not stir In the bottle,
which 1t filled entirely. Aud yet, on open.
ing the bottle, the doctor found the reptile
perfectly sound, and saw It kill large
fowl instantaneously with Its sting. Oar
author quotes another case, that of a
scorpion, which had been kept in a bottle
for q long time and on being released
killed two large sparrows in less than a
minute, and q pigeon in three hours
Or. Guyon devotes come space to the simp-
inns which accompany the infections Of
bite by such reptiles; first, violent pain
at the moment of receiving the wound,
then an unconquerable itching on the spot,
then trembling, vomiting, difficulty OF
breathing, often accompanied with q
cough, dilation OF the pupils, muscular
contractions, tetanic symptoms, ETC.
