A SNAKE AROUND HER CHIoNoN.

A SNAKE AROUND HER CHIGNoN.
Yesterday, on the train on the
Erie railway which runs from Ro-
chester TO Dansville, and reaches
here at 10 a. m a most singular
circumstance occurred. When the
train was about three miles from
this village, the passengers in one
of the coaches were alarmed by the
singular actions Of lady who gave
her name as Mary p. Rhoades, of
Adrian, Mich, and q relative of
Rev. &. T. Seibt, of Olean, n. Y.
She was leaning over a seat, utter
ing the most piercing cries. A gen
tleman rushed to her and asked the
trouble. She made no answer but
continued to screa n the louder.
When the train reached this village
she was helped into the waiting
room, and a gentleman present pro-
cured a glass of brandy, which be-
ing given to the lady, she appear
ed to recover some. a lady stand
ing near, at this juncture gave a
scream, and pointing to the head
of Miss Rhoades, tainted. On ex.
animation a large striped suake
was observed eoiled around the
ehignon of the lady. How it came
there was a mystery, and only ex-
planned by the theory that it had
got into the car and took refuge
under the cushions Of the car seat.
Miss Rhoades stated that she felt
something crawling up her bead,
but could only give vent to her feel
ings in screams, and until it was
taken off did not herself know what
the matter was. The snake was
killed, aud the affair produced no
little excitement for the time

BY xARIgFA.

Remember thee: dear Love, the thieVing
years
Which bring 50 much. yet steaIsO much
away.
Have robbed thine image of its frame OF
tears,
But left it hues that can defy decay,
Upon loves golden easel mere it stands,
In all the glory OF thy glorious youth;
Within the heart. that in lifs's msrning
lands,
Met thee, amid the buds of time and
truth.
As then, my darling mere thy beauty glows
One white hand prisoning It's pretty mate
The dlmple ambushed in thy cheeks red
rose,
Thy bosom swelling with its happy sighs,
Thy life yet free from sorrow's first
eclipse
The smile, that grew and budded in thiAe
eyes,
And bloomed at last upon thy crimson
lips.
Alb, fair the picture! from the worlds
rough strife
l turn, its silent loyellness 70 kiss;
Though all the choicest roses OF my life
Were ground within my soul, to paint me
this.
'Tis true, my heart beneath it heaves no
sighs,
Throbs with no passion, tastes no bitter
lees
But there Is something dims my dreaming
eyes
That's fonder. truer, tenderer than thesel
Regret may die. woe weep itself - death;
But love Is one OF those immortal things,
Though death and burial it eneompa>seth,
In mem'ry's heaven It wears eternal
wings,
II once the soul re-echO 10 the shock
It's silent sandals in the heart create,
Its footprints, like the impress on the rock,
Dead leaves may Gil, but tnaught obli;-
crate.
Would forget thee, that thou didst not
dare
Thy loves bright girdle to est round
me thenl
Sotsl0ye thee, that thou couldst not TO
my prayer,
In equal tenderness respond, Ament
Do we love less the flower we may not
breakl
Love less the chosen star beyond our
grsspi
Do we forget sweet dreams we cannot
make,
Realities within our lingering elIsP'
At last saw thee, remember thee;
Ere time one flemish on thy beauty laid;
If thou hast wept, it hSs not been for me;
II thou hat faded. I've not seen thee
fade.
Around the lonely ruins Of my years,
My deathleSs love for thee twines fresh
alway,
And filings DER roken columns, shattered
spheres,
A lovellness that defes decay.

Every State in the South now
under Republican control is .Iher
utterly bankrupted or OBJ the verge
of ruin, while those States which
threw off Republican rule since
1879, or never were captured by
that party through the reconstruc-
tion machinery, are comparatively
prosperous. Compare the condi-
ton of Georgia, Tennessee, Virgin
ia, Missouri and Kentucky with
South Carolina, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Arkansas. Read their
history for the past eight years,
and thenssay which party most
nearly carries out its professions of
devotion - law, order, aud honesty
in public administration. If Ten
nessee bad gone on as she was go
ing in IS66-67, she would now owe
about $40, 100000. 1t was very
lucky that the real people OF the
Stale got control of and stopped

out OF State bonds 10 railroad con-
panies. Ii that sort of manage
ment had proceeded till now, there
would be no quarrelling over the
funding law. Our bonds would moi

what tax might be levied, as NJ
body would be able to pay any
thing-Chattanooga Times.

THE FUNDING BILL.

The Democratic convention which
met at Nashville, August 10, 1874,
very wisely omitted to express any
opinion either as to the funding bills
passed during Mr.. Brownlow's ad-
ministrations, or as to the funding bill
passed by the last legislature. It
would have been just as appropriate
to have passed resolutions in regard
TO the thirteenth, fourteenth and if-
teenth amendments to the constitu-
ton of the United States, or in regard
TO the alien and sedition laws, as it
would have been to have passed reso-
lutions in regard to these funding bills
so far as they were accomplished facts.
Bonds issued under them are bind
ing upon the States, whether the laws
under which they were issued we're
wise OF unwise. It is here proper to
remark, that nearly all of the bonds
issued to new railroad companies du-
ring the administrations of Govern
ors BrownlOw and Senter have been
returned to the treasury under a law
passed by the legislature which met
/ October, 1869. In regard to the bonds
not yet due, they may or may not be
( funded, as legislatures hereafter to be
elected may determine. The whole
amount of bonds issued under the
/ late act up to this time only amounts
/ to So, ,999. .0O0- Both Democratic and
! Republican conventions passed resO-
lutions IN favor of the payment oi
the State and national debts, and oi

credit OF the State by meeting al

Coon ADvIcE.-The Baltimore Ga
zette has a sensible article, entitled
"Don't frighten the children" which
we annex:
at is an old warning, but as treat
ed anew in Scribner's may not be
without effect; Never frighten chill
dren: don't shut them up IN dark
rooms: never let them comprehend
what lightning is, or take any notice
of either in their presence 1t is one
of the most painful things in the
world to see a child run to hide itself
from a thunder storm, and in nearly
all cases where it does so, some one
has blundered. Never attempt to
control a child by making it believe
that something terrible will happen TO
il. sBoSie' viii catch it, or the black
man will come for 1t, or some terrible
specter or other will haunt it. Those
children who have been shut up in
dork rooms as punishment, frequent
ly feel the effect Of torture until late
in life. It is strange how these ter
