A Head OB snakes and MOsqui-

It took days to create this earth, &C., cording to the almanac; but in what part of that time snakes and Miss Skee- ters were created is unknown even to Horace Greeley. But propose to make a grammatical S. A. on the subject of which the following is some;
 Where Miss Skeeters and snakes come from, or what their usefulness consists in, is not recorded in "Hoyle's Games" But of one thing am pretty certain, and that is, that them fellers has often caused me to say things that irregular member of the church in good standing would not say
 What Miss Skeeters and snakes (and cat tites by nite) was made for do not c, neither has it entered into the mind of man to conceive; Miss Skeeters is suckers; as suckers they are a suckcess. They perform in every suckus without tight rope and often put people in a tight place.
 So can snakes.
 There is 3 things in this world as are particularly amusing and ornam ental they are Miss Skeeters Snaix and Cat Fites. All generally occur by nite. They are chereful companions.
 The question naturally arises-why4 was these things maid? Of course one of them was maid, or else two of them wouldn't have happened!
 "An idle brain is the Devils work shop" said some old sage after drink ing his sage T. Ergo, Miss Skeeters, snaix and cat fites must have originated in an idle brain! But that brain could not have been idle long after they were matched outl Not much.
 Miss Skeeters nois everybody.- They are peculiar to warm climates, but do not think. So is snaix. Snakes and Miss Skeeters are not often adopt ed as pets i'll private families. They are not pleasant to dream about. They are not pleasant to have about either. Although people ofthe mail persuasion have been known to give snaik exhibi- tions in their boots before now--for their own benefit principally. The cause of these exhibitions is 15 cents a drink
 What we shall do with Miss Skeeters Is not settled by the Impeachment trial. They are not good raw, and they have not been considered sufficient luxury to be put on the bill of fair at City Hotel.
 Now abidth these 3-Miss Skeeters, Snaix and Cat Fites; but the meanest of these is-its hard to tell [!
 12 o'clock at night will test the mat ter with all refecting Americans.

We clip the following tit-bits from the Cincinnati Commercial of the 27th:
 PERSONAL Wade and wanting--in Ohio. Wade and shelved--in Chicago.
 Wade and distrusted-in Washington, Ben. Wade's correspondence is not so arduous as it was. Wade cursed the pertinacity of the ofice-seekers lately. He has been reliey- ed.
 A. Us little grandchildren will take dancing lessons, in Washington, for another quarter.
 Ben. Wade would rather be right than be President He made up his mind about it last evening.
 For rent--A newly repaired house, in Greenville, Tennessee. Apply to A. Johnson, White House.
 "Wade Din" was the motto of the car pet baggers; "Wade doubt" the motto of judicious people.
 The carpet baggers have left Washing ton, and there will be no more spontaneous applause in the galleries.
 The people never elected Ben. Wade to anything, but he came within one vote of electing himself President.
 The importance of one vote is proyer- bial Ben. Wade would like to have had just one more, in order to cast it for Ben. Wade.
 MT Johnson finds. it inconvenient to vacate the entire White House to Mir. Wade, but will kindly tender him the use of the blue room.

A pARNER named Best, returning from
Troy to Schagtikoke, one evening not
long ago, was asked by n portly female
whom he met on the rode, for q ride.
He assented, but had his suspicious
aroused as to the sex Of the person, BY
her awkwardness in getting into the
sleigh, and by the very unfeminine APP
Of her feet and shoes. He
therefore devised q clever plan to rid
himself of wba. he supposed might prove
an unpleasant neighbor. Riding on a
short distance, he accidentally dropped
his whip, and stopping the team, polite
" requested the "lady" to dismouut
and recover it, under the plea that his
horses were very spirited, and it would
be dangerous for her to attempt to hold
them. This was at a point in the road
where, from the proximity Of q house,
Mr.. Best could readily obtain assistance
in Ease of refusal on the part Of the
robber, should his companion prove to
be one, to do Is he requested. The
latter got out rather sulkily, leaving
behind in tho sleigh the mutt "she'
wore, and started to pick up the whip.
No sooner was Mr.. Best rid Of the villain
than he gave the word 10 his horses and
like a flash they were of, leaving the
robber on the wayside furious with
chagrin and passion. After driving on
some distance, Mr.. Best concluded he
would examine the muf, and to his
surprise, but in remarkable corrobora-
ton of his suspicion as to the character
of the "woman" he had just left behind,
hc found a revolver and dirk knife con-
cealed in it. It was apparent then that
be had narrowly escaped from the hands
of an assassin.

Throe Revelations.

Yesterday afternoon the quiet neigh
borhood on the corner OF 10th and Ed
dy street, was throw into state of in
tense excitement by a four-horsc run
away. The team started from n yard,
across which was extended q brace Of
clothes-lines loaded with o weeks wash
ing which had just been hung out, and
as tho wagon went by it took tho two
lines of clothes with it, one on each
hind wheel, which, as the team gained
Roadway, strung out to the rear
like the tail Of a comet. Everybody
rushed out to see what kind Of a ca
lamity had fallen upon the people Of
Cheyenne, and to frighten the horses
still worse, if possible. Tho limos wero
soon wound on the wheels, with the
clothes fastened on and between the
spokes, which owing to tho different
colors, gave the outfit tho appearance
of a travelling lin a hurry magic Ian
tern. This was the first round. (They
ran around tho same block three times.)
Cd round-One wheel lost-speed I'M
abated = inhabitants excited boys
throwing up their hats-mon started to
pursue the runaways round the block
-soon found the runaways pursuing
them-this policy was condemned and
Immediately abandoned, "lct 'em goP'
everybody began picking up the
things, when-thc runaways again ap-
pcared with but one wheel Of the wagon
left with which to complete the
Sd round-Which was q triumph
complete ovation-every man, woman
aud child in the block exclaimed ooh

"Somebody will be hurt p-"Go into

the four horses "just q going it" two

quite dangerous with desperation; evory-

round the block on its own axis-there
vas but n wheel left-then the horses
wero timely arrested In their destruc-
tive career. To say that tho people of
the quiet n%eighborhood of 10th and Ed
dy don't feel that this was an unde-
served act of injustice, premeditatedly
and ~inexcusably committed against
them, would be speaking of n very seri-
Gus affair in an extremely unfecling

A PERoRArioS.-0ur friend hank
Mitchell, whose style is certainly quite
dramatic, in winding up his speech at
the public meeting, yesterday, Mt the
Opera House, pictured, in very glowing
terms,t the birth, growth, and present size
Of the American Eagle, and which was
decidedly the most fanciful spread-eagle
speech We have heard for several years.
Mr.. Mitchell seems to be fully impressed
with the idea that the American Eagle
is full-grown; and that with one foot
resting on the shores of America he can
reach ACROSS the Atlantic Ocean with
the other, and clutching the British
Lion, tear that docile old king Of tho
forest limb from gut! Mitchell thinks
it can be done. "Bloodl Largo J.
