The Hon. VIM. d. Kelley, after an
extended trip through the States of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima Georgia and Florida, gives an en-
phatic denial to the charges and state
ments of the Republican newspapers
for years past against the South. What
gives his testimony the more point
and Sani6cance, is the Well-known fact
that Judge Kelly has been constantly
one of the most extreme men of his
party IN Congress, going as far as the
farthest in his support of measures of
repression, ,..and represents one of the
strongest Republican districts in Penn
sylvania. He says that he mingled
freely during his trip with the people
of all parties, and both views, and that
he now understands the condition of
the South better than he ever did be-
fore. His views have been completely
changed. lie reports a general condi-
ton of good order and kindly feeling,
and says that there is no necessity
whatever for troops or force bills. He
declares that hereafter he will take
very little stock in stories of Southern
outrages, especially if they are report
ed As occurring in sections he visited.
He states that these accounts are not
only gross exaggerations, but in many
cases deliberate falsehOOds, and sums
up by saying that the one vote he re-
grets, after fourteen years service in
Congress, is his vote for the force bill
at the last session. Judge Kelly speaks
very gIoomily of the financial cOndi-
tion of the South, which he attributes
largely to the ruinOus financial policy
of the last Congress His views have
made a decided impression, and really
leave the Republican party without a
leg to stand upon for their war against
the S9nth.

a NESosIos SERPEST.-A speci-
men of the Hamadryas elaps, a veno-
nous snake allied to the corbras, has
been added TO the collection of ser
pents in the Geological Gardens.

Islands AID in New Guinea, 1t prevs
habitually upon other snakes, aitaius
large size, sometimes measuring
thirteen feet in length, and it Is a
bold and formidable enemy. It's
venom Is fatal IN few minutes. Mr.
Thcobald stated that he heard of a
we'll authenticated case of 4 dowerful
male el, l,phant being killed by its
bite. The elephant ''was pulling
down with his trunk some
creeper boughs, when large Gnan
(the Indian name of the serpent }
which was disturbed in the tree,
struck the elephant in the trunk
between the eyes. The elephant at
once retrcated, became faint and died
in about three hours" Mr.. Theo-
bald relates of his personal knoWl-
edge that a snake charmer was bitten
by one, and died OF the wound i'm
mediately. The specimen in the
Geological Gardens IS over seven feet
i'll length, and is In excellent health.
Shortly after his a. rival he was fed
with an ordinary snake, which he
quickly bolted head-tirst. The Ham

a less developed hood, that, when
spread, is seen to be marked with pref
IT bands. The head Is somewhat
almond-shaped. and much like that
of a lizard. When sitting up with
hood expanded, the snake is constant
" jerking its head in q restless
manner. Its eye is clear and bright.
When disturbed, it Kisses loudly aUd

EN- was contributed to it by him:
Bfneath the yine-clad caves,
Whose shadows fall before
Thy lowly cottage door
Under the Iilac's tremulous leaves
Within thy snowy, elasped hand
The purple flowers it bore
L1steve, in dreams, l saw thce stand,
Like queculy nymph from fairy land,
. Enchanrress OF the 1owery wand,
Most beauteous lsadore.
And when babe the dream
Upon thy spirit fiee,
Thy violet eyes to me
UPiurned and Overfiowing seen
With Ike Ceep untoll delight
Of loves serenity;
Thy classic brow, like lilies white,
Aud pale as the imperial Night
Upon her throne with stars bedight,
EnthralIed my soul to thee!
Al! Ever behold
Thy dreamy, passionate eyes,
Blue as the languid skies,
Hung with the sunsets fringe of gold:
How strangely clear thine image grow,
And olden memories
Are startled from their long reposc,
Like shadows on the silent SHOWS,
When suddenly the night wind blows
Where quiet moonlight lies.
Like music heard in dreams,
Like strain. and harps unknown,
OF birds iortv.r flown
Audi lc a. the dice OF streams
That murwur IN some lrafv d,!l.
hrat thy gentle Il tome;
And >il'nrr e, meth with hrr IN.
Like thar whIuh on my tongue d"Ia dwell

Floating from tree to tree,

The music Of the radiant bird,
Than artles- aecents such As thine,
Whose echoes never flee!
Al! how for Thy sweet voice pinr;
For uttered in thy tones benign,
Enchantress. this rude name OF mine
Doth seem a melody!
