He DIED AS THE Fool DIETH.-
Joseph Wagner, young man living at
Charlestown, West Va, died few days
ago under singular circumstances. He
professed to have the power of charming
snakes, and having captured a rattle
snake, he was giving some friends an ex-
hibition of this power. After fondling
the snake for time in his arms, he threw
it on the ground and switched it until it
writhed with rage. He then took the
reptile up in his arms again, and saying,
" Are you mad kiss me and make up"
he put its head in his mouth. The snake
bit his tongue, and he died in about an
hour afterward. In fifteen minutes after
being bitten his skin assumed the spotted
color of the snake.

The coalition majority in Virginia is
not so large by about one-half as report
ed last week. 1t will be about $4,000.
The successful party have already given
so many expressions of support to the
administration that the democrats in
some instances are repudiating their part
of the election, while in others they are
commended for their " WISDOM" but the
wisdom of democrats uniting with
the negroes, as they did in Virginia, is a
terrible pill for the democrats in several
States, and though it shows wonderful
state of progress on their part, it will
take some of Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby's
best sermons to reconcile them to it.

PoLrrIcAL.-The N. Y. Journal Of

PoLITIoAL.-The N. Y. Journal Of
Commerce thinks it the height of absur-
dity for the Democratic party to make
any further resistance to negro suffrage.
It says: Men of sense understand the
folly of contending with the past and in
evitable. Politicians, who, as a general
rule have the limited vision Of grasshop-
pers, and no sense beyond the scent of
the nearest fesh.pots, are the creatures
who commit the ridiculous blunders of
tie California Democratic platform"
The Ohio Democratic papers are hard
up for capital in support of General
Rosecrans, when they have to begin the
by saying that his, only enc
my in the war was General Grant, who,
at an early stage of the war, saw in him
u rival destined to eclipse him."
The Cincinatti Commercial (Conserva-
tive) prints an extract from letter
written by General Rosecrans in 1863
in which he speaks of the Democratic
party as follows:
Wherever they have the power they
drive before them into their ranks the
Southern people, and they would also
drive us. Trust them not. Were they
able they would invade and destroy US
without mercy. Absolutely assured of
these things, | am amazed that any one
could think of peace on any terms. He
who entertains the sentiment is fit only
to be a slave; he who utters it, at this
time, is moreover a traitor to his coun-
try, who deserves the scorn and contempt
Of all honorable men,"

HEARTH AND HoME--We have re-
ceived No. 80 Of this excellent family
journal. The first page has very fine
portrait of William Cullen Bryant, while
the reading matter through its entire six
teen pages is highly interesting and in
structive. We regard this as an espec-
tally fine number both in the variety and
excellence of its matter and the beauty
and value of its illustrations. An inter-
esting story, entitled the Romance Of a
Rich Young Girl, is begun in this num-
Der. and bids fair to be very popular.

SCENE AT THE TRIAL OF Mrs. Pol
LARD, "A distressing scene occurred DUR
ing the trial of Mrs. E. A. Pollard, in
Baltimore last week, for assault and bat
terry on DR.. George A. Moore, the gentle
man she shot at in drug store in that
city, on the 18th of January last. Mrs.
Pollard herself took the stand and pro-
ceeded to detail to the Court the history
of the wrongs she claimed to have receiv-
ed at the hands of E. A. Pollard, led on
and encouraged as she alleged, by DIR.
Moore. She concluded rather lengthy
story by stating that inch by inch she
had been deprived by these men of all
she possessed except her honor, and that
could only be taken with her life. Judge
Gilmore then reviewed the case, and f.
nally concluded by declaring the witness
guilty of common assault as charged in
the Indictment, and sentenced her to be
confined in jail for thirty days. Upon
this announcement, Mrs. Pollard rose
with outstretched hands, and in fren-
zied manner cried out, ooh, Judge, do
not send me to prison p She fell on her
knees and again appealed to the Judge,
saying, "For the sake of my more than
orphaned children do not deprive them
of the protection Of mother" She
then sank with her hand on the knees of
MIR Willis, her counsel, uttering hysteri-
cal sobs, until Messrs. Irwin and Carter,
Deputy Wardens of the Jail, appeared,
and, as delicately as possible, removed
her to the Office of the Clerk of the Court.
When the Court adjourned, Deputy War
den Irwin removed the prisoner, amid
her continued excitement, to hack
standing on Lexington street, and ac-
companied by the gentleman who came
with her from Washington, she was con-
veyed to Jail, where she now remains.

IMPORTANT TO w1pow PENSIONERS.

IMPORTANT TO WIDOW PENSIONERS
The Commissioner of Pensions has de-
cided that in all cases where an applica-
ton for increase of pension is made by
a former widow of soldier, and snbse-
quent to the marriage of such widow,
the fact that such application was not
made during the widowhood, should not
debar her from her right to increase of
pension for her children, and to which
she would have been entitled had she
remained widow. Her claim will be
treated in the same way as though she
had not remarked.

And when Abraham and the people

but good for the stomach and because
