THE o,CoNNELL CENTENARY.
a Spicy Card from Mr.. D. A. Brosnsn.

To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: The readers Of THE REPUBLICAN,, and of the
Washington papers generally, are aware that 1
feel deep interest in Irish national matters,
and hope that they will credit me with proper
motives for complaining Of the manner in which
certain parties are dealing with the movement
which is being made to celebrate the O'ConnelI
centenary.
MI John L. Dease has come out in the Tribune
objectiDg in very questionable language to the
Hon. Mr. Kelly, mayor of Richmond, as the
orator Of the day, because he sat at dinner with
EDglishmen, residents OF Virginia, and listened
TO their praises Of the Queen Of their native
acted the part Of q gentleman while among
them. 1t was an English gathering; perhaps
many Of them were his neighbors, and he re-
spected them. ami offered them no ofense.
O'Connell himself used 70 praise the Queen and
drink to her health, and whe will have the
temerity to insult the memory of the great and
in the midst Of Hibernians, No 8.
The mayor Of Richmond is the honored presi-
several score of Irish benevolent societies. aud
some German, too, believe, and no more beit-
ting gentleman could be found in this direction to
discourse TO US on the subject Of the day. 1t is
veXatious to ind any kind Of an Irishman scatter
ing the seeds Of dlsunion on the of so import
ant and lsudable an Hndertaking-that Of honor
Ing the memory Of the greatest and best men that
this earth has borne. II is our duty to .se every
means within our reach TO make 1t the grandest
1rlsn natonal oemonstratlon ever neld In this
city, and TO this end let every childish and vicious
sentiment that is offered to our unity be sup
pressed or stamped out.
There are so many ways for Irishmen to mani
fest their devotion to Irelands cause will point
10 enc in particular-the Mitchell testimonial
This has been gotten up to show the gratitude Of
the Irish people to one who spent the early and
late years OF his life in the endea7or to n6erate
our country from the thraldom of the British
Crown. This lip patriotism is so very cheap.
More action and less talk is more commendable.
We want no scolding, no stone-throwing at real or
supposed enemies. Let us have peace" and,

Not Safe to Handle By the Tail.

The correspondent Of the London Times, whose
account ofthe handling of the veromous eobrss at
the Geological Gardens repres snted that these
serpents, when held BY the tip Of the tall, are
able to raise themselves. has modified his state
ment DR.. A. Gunther has assured him that 1t
was solely owing to their exhausted condition that
those serpents were thus handled with impunIty.
A vigorous cobra, HanmGdryGd, or any Of those
1.-THE and active serpents whose movements are
more astonishing than those of an acrobat, would
In an instant turn their heads and glide up their
own bodies as up rope to strike at their captor.
Thick-set, heayy-bodied vipers, like the puff
adder and Q few others, whose movements are
slow, timid and sluggieh, might, Dr.. Gunther
afirms, be held ut arms length BY the tips Of
their tails, and not raise themselves; but the ex-
pertinent, even then, should be attempted with
caution. Travellers who have stated that they
have witnessed venomous serpents thus handled
by lugglers or others, have either been deceived
In the vigor Of the snake or have omitted to men,
tion what kind was thus trifed with. We advise
our reader not to try the experiment with rattle.

The custom Of preserving our own fruit is be-
coming great feature in housekeeping. Few
good heusekeepers neglect TO put up q sufficfent

necessity Of purchasing from time to time during
the winter. While we consider this q good idea,
Economical to say the least,) myst not fail to
q large stock Of Jars of all descriptions which
they sell at very low rates. This firm deserves
the patronage Of the public in general from the
fact that they Of the first houses in this city
that have made speciality of fruit jars. In con.
sequence Of their large trade in this line they
have reduced the price thereof at least fifty per
cent, thus enabling every body to buy.
