A RATTLE-SNAKE BITE, AND RIDE FOR
LIrE.-The Burlington (Kansas) Patriot says
last week Mr.. s.. I. Champlin, of Pottawato-
mic township, living on Long Creek was bitten
by rattlesnake on the right hand. He was
handling corn at the time, and as he reached
down to the corn-pie the snake, which was
coiled up unperceived in the corn, struck him,
his fangs entering the finger next to the little
one, between the knuckle and the middle joint.
As soon as Mr.. Champlin found he was Bit
ten, he mounted horse and started for town,
as no whiskey or other remedy was close at
hand His hand and arm began to swell rap
idly, and the pain was intense. After riding a
mile, he stopped at neighbor's and procured
q glass of alcohol which he reduced with wa
ter and drank. This probably saved Mr.. C's
life, as he informs us that the torture from the
bite had become so severe that he could with
difficulty sit in the saddle. He at once ru''cd
for town as fast as possible, and at Wolf Creek
he found its banks full, but did not hesitate to
ride in The swift current swept him from his
horse, but he clung to his manc with the hand
which was not disabled, and his horse carried
him across. On his arrival in this city DIR.
Douglass administered powerful stimulantss,
using spirits freely and drenching the arm with
iodine. The arm was swollen very full, but
the Doctor soon had him out Of danger. "Mr.
Champlin was bitten at 2 o'clock in the after
noon and arrived in Burlington about 3, so he
had ridden nearly twelve miles in an hour.
The snake was killed. and measured two feet
and half in length, having eight rattles.

= One of the most extraordinary facts re-
vcaed to us by DR.. Livingstonc's explorations
in Africa is that the high tablcland of the in
terror, with its rich agricultural resources, its
noble flora, its fine temperature, broad inland
seas, and inexhaustible stores ofmineral wealth,
is rendered all but impenetrablc to civilized
men, certainly beyond all reach of coloniza-
ton, by one Of the most apparently insignifi-
cant OF causes, a fly. This terrible insect is
little brown, yellow-striped fly called the tsctze,
scarcely larger than our common household
pests, hut whose sting is absolutely fatal. So
deadly is its poison that it is said three or four
flies will kill the largest OK. Soon after the
bite, which gives little or no pain, staggering
and blindness come on; the body swclls to an
enormous size; the coat turns rough and in q
few hours follow convulsions and death. And
yet this deadly poison under the effect of which
the horse and OK, the sheep and the dog fall as
if plaguc-strickcn, is perfectly harmless to man,
to wild animals, to the pig, mule, ass and goat:
Here is an achievement of science that would
bring glory to the discoverer-the discovery of
some antidote to the sting of this venomous fly,
which would open the treasures of Central
Africa TO tho use of the world,

SOMETHING FOR THE G1RLs-If young
man greet you in loud, free and hasty tone !;
if he knows precisely where to put his hand
on his hat; if he stare you right in the eye,
with his own wide open; if he turn his back
to you to speak to another if he tell you who
made his coat; if he squeezes your hand if
he sass heartily in your if in short
eurls, or fail to be fooling in fifty ways every
hour, then don't fall in love with him for the
world. He only admires you, let him do or
say what he WILL
On the other hand, if he be merry with every
one else, but quiet with you; if he be anxious
to see that your tea is sufficiently sweetencd
and your dear person we'll wrapped up when
his cheeks are red, and his nose only bushes,
it is enough. If he romp with your sister,
sigh like pair of bellows, look solemn when
you are addressed by another gentleman, and,
in fact if he be the most still, awkward, stupid,
yet anxious of all your male friends, you may
'go ahead" and make the poor telloW happy.

ONE BY ONE.

The following beautiful lines admonish us,
as what does not, to prepare for that hour,
when we shall stand upon the margin OF the
river, and alone enter into its ICY tlde. Ihe
author is unknown:
They are gathering homeward from every land,
One by one.
AS their weary feet touch the shining strand,
One by ono,
Their brows are encircled in golden crown
Their travel-stained garments are all laid down,
And clothed in white raimcnt they rest on the
mead,
Where the Lamb ever loveth his children to
lead,
One by one.
Before they rest they pass through the strife,
One by one.
Through the waters of death they enter Life,
One by one.
AS they ford on their way to the heavenly hill ;
TO others the waves run 1iorcely Wliu,
But all reach the home of the undehled,
One by one.
We, too, shall come to that rivers side,
Wo are nearer its waters each eyentide,
We can hear the noise and dash of the stream,
Now and again, through our life 8 deep dream ;
Sometimes tho floods all its banks overflow,
Sometimes in ripples the small waves go,
One by one.
Jesus, Redeemer, we look to thee.
One by one.
We lift up our voices tremblingly,
One by one.
Tho waves of tho river are dark and cold,.
We know not the spot where our feet may hold
Thou who didst pass through in deep midnight
Strengthen us, send us thy staff and thy light,
One by one.
Plant thou thy feet beside us as we tread,
One by one.
On Thoo let us lean each dropping head,
One by one.
i ,et but thy strong arm around us be twined,
We shall cast all our fears to the wind.
Saviour, Redeemer, be thou in full view,
Smilingly, gladsomely we shall pass through,
One by one.

A New state Administration Demanded.

The time has come for the people OF South
Carolina to rise up and assert their freedom,
and maintain a Just and economical govern
ment. We have no excuse left us. change
must be made or we sink into the vortex OF
ruin never to rise again as q party, and we will
richly deserve to fall. -Four years the Repub-
lican party has had control of this State. The
two first years were an exhibition Of skill and
tact in bringing about state OF prosperity and
hope for the people, and all classes of citizens
were beginning to rejoice in prosperity. But
the unblushing speculations and extravagances
of the last two years has been beyond all paral-
lei in this country The cause of this is found
in the men who have controlled our finances,
and ruled the Legislature-byt their stupendous
schemes and bribery of men who have been the
willing tools in their hands.
The people should rise up in their might
and depose those men, and place in their stead
men of higher integrity and moral worth. Let
the people move in the coming election, and
see to it that not one of those who have been
the willing tools in the hands Of the bribers,
be returned to the Legislature in the coming
elections, and that those officials who have
destroyed the credit and depleted the Treasury,
do not get back in order to do so again. we
propose, during the campaign, to pay attention
to the gentlemen and their deeds of bribery
and corruption. We will give the figures ana
the facts, and if they can get over them, we
shall see how they do it. We shall pay our
respects to the Treasurer, the Financial Agent,
the Blue Ridge arrangement, the GreenyiIle
business, the Impeachment trials, the Valida-
ting rascality, and to number of smaller
peculations. Also some of our State Senators,
whose hands have been deep into the crimes OF
fraud and peculaton. If one has the desire,
there is enough to bring out to damn every in
cumbent in office almost in this State. Those
who may not be guilty of direct participation,
are SO by neglect Of duty as public officers in
not bringing their guilty partners in office tx. to
condign punishment, when they have clearly
violated the laws and the sacred obligations
imposed upon them to discharge public trusts.
Men who know the commission roughs, when

the time to sift them, and bring them before

so M ETHING NEW.
A Buttonhole, Overseaming and
Complete Sewing Machine
in One

WE request the Ladies, and all others want
ing perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from
personal examination, this superior and excel
lent Machine. It is no eXaggeration to say
that it will execute greater variety of sewing,
with fewer attachments and less labor, than
any Machine in the world. 1t is decided i'm
provement on the older Machines in market;
and the superior skill, workmanship and ma
terials employed in its construction are guar
antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and
enable the Company and its Agents to WAR
RANT EVERY MACHINE THEY SELL TO GIVE
ENTIRE SATISFACTION.
1t is comparatively noiseless, and runs with
such ease that the most delicate female can
operate it all day without fatigue. Philadel-
phia weekly, speaking Of this Machine, says
"In New England, the home of the Sewing
Machine, the American Buttonhole Machine
is without a rival. Because it will do every
thing that any Machine can do, sewing from
the finest to the coarsest material, hemming,
telling, cording braiding, binding, gathering
and sewing on at the same time, quilting, etc.,
better than any other Macine. 2. Because the
tensions are more easily adjusted 8. Because
fine pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will
embroider over the edge, making neat and
beautiful border on any garment. 5. Because
it will work beautiful eyelet hole. 6. Be-
cause it can do overland scanning, by which
sheets, pillow-cases and the like are sewed
over and over. Z. Because you can quickly
raiee and lower the feed to adapt it TO thick or
thin cloth. s. Because you have short, deep
bobbil, by which the thread is constantly
drawn from the centre, the tension is conse-
quently even. 9. Because the presser-foot
turns back, that the cloth may be easily re-
moved after being sewed. Because it is two
Machines in one, and has no springs to break,
and nothing to get out of ORDER"
We take the liberty of referring to the fol-
lowing ladies, citizens of Anderson and yicin-
ity, who have tested our Machines. The tes-
timony of these ladies is certainly tlatter-
ing evidence of the popularity attained by
these Machines within short time:
