SNAKE BITTEN. About this time-as
the almanac makers would say-look out
for snakes. The long protracted dry
weather is causing them to come ont Of
their holes in search of water, aud their
snakeships arc inclined to be more socia-
BILE than agreeable. The mout singular
feature of the businosH is that the rep
tiles will not stay in the country, where
they properly belong, but are forcing
themselves into town and town society.
On last Friday night colored man,
named Jim White, who is employed as
servant in the house Of Mr.. V. Richards,

was snake bitten. Tie snake had man
aged to get into tho yard, and struck the
negro before the latter was aware Of his
presence. It was of the species known
as highland moccasins. and must huve
been very venomons. The wound caused
the man to have spasms, and he was
thought TO be dangerously i'll on yester-

In just so much as the French spirit
is exceptionally buoyant. 80 is the Ger
man implacable., Notwithstanding their
complete success in the late war with
France. and the receipt OF an indemnity
OF hve milIiards, still they are not hnppy.
The Berlin HoMszeiiuag asserts that it
will not add to the. wealth of Germany,
since it comes from their own customers,
for whom. they work in time of peace;
and that in just 80 much as France is
made poorer in money so much less en-
ployment will that country afford to
Germany. Further. that the change OF
relative wealth afforded by the Eve mil
lizards transferred from France to Ger
many will raise wages in the latter and
lower them in. the former country,
thereby destroying Germany's market.
Very interesting. if not very sound,
philosophy this, particularly as it reads
the world a heaithful lesson upon the
unprofitableness of wars. even when sue
nessful. But for all that, it is certainly
the first time we ever heard anybody se-
riously protest against being made ricb,
and. in the point, OF self-denial and dis
satisfaction. think the paper quoted. to-
gether with all believers in its doctrine,
enhtled to the palm. We have often
heard of people having too much Of q
good thing, but this Is the first practical
illustration of it furnished on an extern
sive scale. II all Germany shares the
opinion. Kaiser William is certainly the
most unfortunate monarch that ever
wore crown.

Tuesday Morning, August 8, 1871.

Our colored fellow-citizens will be
deeply grieved to hear the latest news
from home. kindly furnished by the New,
York Tribune. Their highly-respected
and venerated countryman, King Archie
bong, of Calabar, is exceedingly i'll and
not expected to iong survive. The
cause of his sickness is attributed to
Voudouic influences, invoked by Prince
Adam Archebong's wife. the Kings ais.
ter-in-law, and q lively dispute, not free
from. oconsional battles. is now occurring
between the friends and enemies of that
estimable lady, in consequence o. .Ao
latter desiring to "drink her blood. :"
Upon the old King s.death:-an event not
very distant in all probability vast
number OF the relatives will be sacrificed,
followed by battle royal for the crown.
Calabar, it is true. is a'Iong way off, still
it is well enough to romind the natives
Of that neighborhood, who are now rnl-
ing the white people of the South. how
affairs are progressing at home.

Yet there are millions of the human
race whose settlements are infested by

whose life is spent in fighting against
them. They occupy the most beautiful
portions Of the natural world; lurking

General Alfred Pleasanton, the In
ternal Revenue Commissioner, has re-
Gently decided that the repeal Of the
special tax on apothecaries by section
first Of the act OF Congress Of July l4th,
1870, render them subject, after April
30th, 1871, to just the same liability as
any other person whatever, for the sale
of distilled spirits, wines or malt liquors
in any quantity, and without reference
to the purposes for or manner in which
they are sold. The Commissioners de,
cides that the act Of July l4th 1870,
abolishes the exemption heretofore pro-
vided for the apothecaries, under para
graph thirythree, section seventy,nine
of the Act of Congress Of June 3Oth
1864. This paragraph, which it is de-
cided, has been repealed, provided that
apothecaries who had taken out a license
as such should not be required to take
out a license as retail dealers in liquor
in consequence of selling alcohol
Under this decision it would appear
that apothecaries, after April 3Oth, must
take out licenses as retail dealers II
