saa from California, whocreated so much enthus-
asm for Chase in the New York National Com
vention on the 18th ballot, went out to consult

- The New York Tribune concisely
and severly describes Pendleton as "a
candidate whose chief recommendation
is that he never voted dollar for our

The Boston Transcript says: "Was there

n question with some. Whether there are

of the chief serpents which has been in
Washington Of late is the "serpent Of the
stilr'-it has been there on lobby bus
mess. When it coils up and puts its
.s tail in its mouth it is called the Whisky

agreeable to feel it around them. . 1t

New York who offers to let any of the
mad dogs of that place bite him, in the
certain assurance that he has q way of
preventing hydraphobia. This man says
that he was bitten several times by rabid
animals, and cured himself each time by
making a,strong salt pickle, rubbing the
wound with it for an hour, and then
binding an additional. quantity of salt on
it. People who are SO unfortunate as to
be.bitten might try this, butwe can not
advise them to get bitten on purpose to
try the experiment.
