DRs. BRUSsoS and Payne on the poi
sons Of the venomous snakes Of Hindoo-
stan, state that the poison acts directly
upon the nervous system and great ncrv-
Gus centcrs, and has the effect 10 stop
respiration rather than the action Of the
heart. Death ensues from the want Of
aeration Of the blood the nerves seem 10
he paralyzed absorption and excretion
do not help much toward removing the
poison; and ammonia and other reputsd
antidotes proved useless when the poison
was administered in sufficient quantities.
No remedy was then known. In our own
country the effects Of poison from our
snakes seem TO have been exaggerated.
There are comparatively few authcn-
ticated cases of death, and in these cases
fear seems to have been a powerful aid
TO the effects Of the snake poison.

The Tornado.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 23.-The path Of the
tornado was from Two to six hundred yards
wide The cyclone Was as Of cylindrical
shape and travelled with fearful velocity tIom
pnrth to south. The front cloud was black as
night and half mile high, the rear was lllu-
minated by bright light and travelled nearly
due east, veering little to the north. After
devastating Camark the tornado seems to have
divided one portion going east by north and
crossing the Savannah river above and beo9
Augusta, both proving equally destructive, lay
ing waste everything in their track. Huge
trees were broken like reeds, and IN some in
stances carried three quarters Of a mile. The
tornado was preceded by a dull, heavy roaring as
OF heavy artillery in the distance. 1t spent its
greatest fury in about three minutes. An eye
witness says, the senses were utterly dcadcned
and appalled, There was crash, a roar and
the minglng of hundred terrific and unearth-
ly sounds. Houses were demolished and noble
oaks that had withstood the storms Of cen
fury were snapped in twain. A wall Of distress
comes up from the devastated district, en-
bracing eight counties in Georgia and two or
three in South Carolina. The destruction Of
property is immense, and the list Of killed and
wounded appalling.

Andrew Johnson.s Sneech.

New YORK, March 23--The Tribune says
Johnsons first speech will hardly meet the
rather inordinate expectations created in the
public mind by his temperance in the Senate.
As an argument on the Louisiana case, it viii
not bear comparison with either Of the several
speeches made during the present session OF
the Senate from Senators of whom less was
expected. MIR. Johnson's views Oh the third
term question: aud his reflections on the Presl,
dent and Gen. Sheridan, will attract attention,
but they lay the ex-President open to the
charge of forgetting his promise to ignore old
personal questions in his new Senatorial career.
The Times says: The speech was nomlnay
Louisiana, but 10 reality on the views and
achievements of Andrew johnson. There is
the same unendiug stream of diSjolnted boast
ing; there are occasional shrewd aud blunt
points made against his enemies and his rivals;
there are the CLEANS OF common sense and OF a
certain rude sincerity; but on the whole, Mr..
Johnson words are without weight.
The Herald thinks the speech will make a
protuuud impression on the country by reason
of its energy, earnestuess and courage. Vlr-
tually the address is an impeachment OF Gen.
Grant The speech will probably be con-
demned for lis impolicy, but policy is not to be
expected from q nature SO blunt and courage
Gus, with too much passion for the time, and
perhaps too much exaggeratiou. lie has hon
cstly uttered unwecome truths and warned the
uation of dangers it will be wise TO heed
The World says: The speech will insure the
public attention 10 the political situation. Its
substance is plain, as usual, so that the com
mon people may hear and understand hlu'.
The crowds VINO went to see Mr.. Johnson, and
those who will read his speech, will feel that
his judgment upon the present political sllua,
lion is most welghty.
The Sun says MIR. Johusou's speech treat,
ed somewhat of himself and his own admnis'
tralou Of the Presidential Office, and was ter
riby severe upon the Southern policy of his
successor, though somewhat verbose and wan
dering. 1t is racy and amusing, and brlstle>
all over with sharp and singing points.
