that their presence is discovered only after
the devastation is complete. Others are mon
sters huge; they glide with crests erect, high
DER mems heads, and eyes like diamonds,
that charm but to destroy. Under the coils
of these, men 60 down both singly and in
ranks-so gently crushed, so delicately be-
slimed with scented pus that to be afterwards
swallowed is sensation of enjoyment rare.
Three of these monsters actually drew their
shiny lengths into the hall of the House on
Monday night, at an hour so late that most
men had already prepared to retire; a few sem
tinels were on watch and sounded the alarm.
The serpents were captured, and are now fixed
on the House ''fle" for inspection. One is a
''water snake, one "rattle-snake," and the
other sort of nondescript puzzler to natu-
ralists, a sort of cross between the vilest of
serpents, the ''copperhead," and the ''moc-
casin." All are Indigenous to Philadelphia.
The first is from Fairmount dam, the second
from the low dens and vaults of station-houses,
and the third from the public highways,
where, owing to the proverbial depth of filth,
only the most loathsome reptiles can live. 1t
would be good plan to skin and stuff these
as specimens for study and contemplation,
and for warnings to rash snake-fanciers who
may in future days frequent the halls of the
Capitol.

ous effort is made In the forerunning cleo
tions, and the beaten party gets discouraged
and succumbs. If the day Of our State cleo
ton is changed, and the Democratic party
triumphantly elects its State candidates in
October, it thereby insures the members of
Congress and Presidential electors in Novem-
Der. In the month which intervenes
demoralized party cannot reorgauize and in
spirit its beaten forces, and the Immediately
succeeding election goes by default.
We commend these weighty considerations
to the attention of the Democratic members
at Albany.

"SNAKES."
FROM the Har7isburg State Journal.

FT0nl The Harrisburg State J0uFhdI
During these warm, sunny days of March
look out for snakes. Tradition tells us that
Capitol Hill is fayorite place of Information
for certain species of this family of reptiles.
They take shelter in the foundations and in
the crevices and holes of the superstructure,
where they lie concealed and dormant during
the cold days of mid-winter; but, warmed by
the genial rays of the sun in spring-time, they
crawl out and bite people. Some of these
serpents are small, short and thin, worm-like
in motion and nature, and seem quite harm
less at first, but, like ''borers" and ''mag-
gots, they work silently in ways so secret

THE LATE INAUGURAL b.

THE LATE INAUGURAL BALL. -
Mary Jane Simpson, the Virginia
correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, gets off the following
good one on Thomas Sunderland,
the popular lawyer of Virginia City /:
Mr.. Thomas Sunderland, of our
city, distinguished himself after the
manner of the foolish virgins. Being
in Carson on business. he did not
determine to grace the ball with his
presence until a late hour in the
.'ternoon then, with the prompt
ness and energy which characterizes
his movements, he telegraphed TO
Virginia for his "store clothes" to
he sent down by rail- BY the time
they were prepared. the afternoon
train had started. Nothing daunted
by this mishap, he at once ordered
them to be sent by special engine,
which was Immediately dispatched.
Mr.. Sunderland was at the station,
and loyfully received his package.
proceeded TO his room, and com
menced dressing for the grea. occa-
sion. He was determined TO look
lovely. Finding. however, that there
was plenty of time to spare, he con-
cluded he would rest himself and
take a little nap, by way of beauty
