EExTENSIONO OF THE PkESi-
DENTAL TERM.

The proposition to amend the
Constitution by extending the Pres
idential Term to six years, and rem
der the incumbent ineligible to
reelection. failed to receive IN Con-
gress two-thirds vote. 1t was
sprung upon that body too late lnthe
session and could not receive proper
discussion.
The necessities for changes IN
the organic law of the nation should
be plainly shown, which can only
be done by thorough examination
and report of a committee or by an
exhaustive debate, in which every
noint claimed in its favor can be
distinctly brought out.
Such was not the case with the
recent proposition. Moreover, 1t
is not a settled question in the pub
lie mind that six years is the best
proper period for Presidential SER
vice. Why not make it ten? H.
deed. the first and last of these
terms have the recommendation OF
being the first the decimal ratio,
and the last one-half of it. Ii the
former. which was the period as
sumed by the Emperor Augustus
of ancient Rome, be thought too
long. five years would be just the
thing. for then the new President
would come into power with full
Congress already in working order,
unless the terms for Congress were
also changed. But with this should
come several other changes: One
fixing the method of elections, an
other forbidding the rapid increase
of Members of Congress, and a third
making all offices now within the
Gift of the President elective.
Finally, the best way to settle them
is to. submit them to national con-
stitEtional convention, called to
amend the Constitution.
Ohio has come out and resolved
against any further congressional
subsidies in favor of railway or
steamship lines. In this step she
will find many sympathizers. The
national government has done
enough already, and now let us
have a rest from business combina-
tions and monopolies seeking to
fatten off the public credit. But
that same Ohio Legislature would
not vote to favor a single Presl-
dental term of six years, or third
term. 1t is evident that the lovely
Democrats hope for a chance to
utilize a second and third term for
themselves. Any Republican meas
ures will be a good enough prece-
dent or excuse for anything, how
ever unreasonable.

day afternoon the bill introduced in
the Assembly by Mr.. CARING for the
division of Churchill county passed
that body by close vote. The Lyon

credit from the citizens ofthis county

they have carried through this i'm:

doubt expressed but what it will

Snakes in Southern Africa.

The puff adder is a most dangerous
snake, being Of the color Of the dead
leaves on which he Is fond of curling
himself up and OF so sluggish and sleepy
o nature that he will not trouble him
self to move out of one's way it Is diff
icult to always avoid treading on him.
His bite Is most deadly, and he has the
most dangerous habit of striking back
ward, not forward like other snakes.
A few people have, believe, recovered
from the effect OF puff adder's bite,
but very few; they generally die in
about quarter of an hour, going
quietly to sleep. The only chance of
cure Is to keep constantly walking, and
to drink quantities of raw brandy, and
to take doses of cau-de luce. When the
kaffirs kill snake they take some of
the venom from its bead, which they
carry in little bag round their necks,
and, II bitten, swallow little, which
they say is certain cure. There is
even worse snake In Natal than the
puff-ndder-fortunately rare one-the
black imamea, one Of the very few that
will venture an attack without provoca-
ton. Many people say that it will even
follow person for miles but rather
doubt this. unless the persons road hap
pens to run between 1t and its home,
and then dare say 1t would do so.
Perhaps every one does not know that
cats are snake proof. A bite has no
effect on them We had an opportunity
OF proving this. A short time after we
came to Oakham we were out strOlling
about, looking at opr possessions, when
we were Startled by hearing a peculiar
shriek from one OF the children, eVi-
IDENTITY a scream OF terror. We rushed
up to the house aud into the dining
room, whence the sounds came, and
there was our little boy In frantic
state OF freight, with long green i'm,
amba wriggling about on the hooT in
front OF him, engaged in a fierce tussle
with large tort0lseshell cat, one we
had brought from the town. Which
would have got the best of it had they
been left 10 night 1t out l cannot say,
for the cOolie rushed In and killed the
snake. The cat had bitten out one OF
Us eyes, and IN return had got wound
on It's face that swelled UP TO an en-
ormOus size but beyond thai he seem.
cd none the worse for his encounter
and in q few days puss was quite him.

70 him ever after for having, In all pro
bsbility, saved our little boys life
