The PENNSYLVANIA PLATFORM.
The New York World, a hard money
paper, is delighted with the platform
of the Pennsylvania democracy. 1t
says:
"fhe democrats of Pennsylvania re
turn to the democratic doctrine of a
sound currency and say the right word
at the right time. There is no doubt
ful sound about their declaration for an
honest payment of the debt of the ma,
ton and the sound preservation of the
public faith This is glory enough for
one day'-that this great State should
range itself side by side with New
York. Connecticut. Illinois and Wis~
consin, to do battle under the true
democratic flag"
The Philadelphia Times, lndepen
dent, commends the platform in the
following emphatic language:
"There has been no such sound and
patriotic and liberal platform presented
to the people of Pennsylvania by any
party for years past as that adopted at
Lancaster yesterday. 1t fairly meets
the demands of the country upon all
the great issues of the hour"
The New York Tribune says: ain
TIE Pennsylvania Democratic Convex
ton at Lancaster some very notable
political changes were made manifest.
Mr.. Randall has lost and Mr.. Wallace
has regained the leadership of the party
in the State
There is neither pledge nor tacit
understanding as to the candidate for

been mostly dropped from the list OF

LARGEST SNAKE IN AMERICA.

In the geological gallery of Dr. Gun
ningham, Carthage, Missouri, may be
seen the greatest native American
wonder extant-a snake twenty seven
feet eight inches in length and seven
teen inches in circumference, resemb
ling in many particulars the Tiger
Python of Africa, coiled in tremendous
folds, with head erect, mouth open and
mammoth torked tongue protruding as
if about to gulp down at one spring
everything in reach. This snake, which
Dir. Cunningham has named the Lead
Python of the Southwest, is, without
doubt, the largest american reptile
ever captured. The history of its
capture is about as follows: Two
miners in Hickory County were return
ing home from prospect in the woods
in the latter part Of July, accompanied
by large dog While passing a
thicket on the banks of stream they
were attracted by Kissing or gushing
noise, followed Immediately by loud
yell from the dog and a crash among
the bushes. On approaching the spot
they beheld the terrible monster in the
act of swallowing the dog. They fed,
but soon returned and succeeded in
capturing the reptile while gorged. The
weight of the snake when first taken
was about 800 pounds.

The MATTER WELL PUT.

The Philadelphia Press truly says
"Why should Mr.. Belknap, for exam
pie, have thought that man in his
high office could not have the most
satisfactory social recognition How
comes it about that $4,000 year is
fatal to q family's social standing? Can
a man get no acknowledgment of his
mental abilities, his wit, or his fidelity,
bnt must clothe himself in sumptuous
appointments? Much is said, in these
days, of inadequate salaries; that they
are not enough to sustain the demands
of a mans social position. Is salary,
then, the basis of social position
That's the lie in mems minds that
corrupts them. 1t ought not to be
tolerated. The time ought to come
back again when manhood and integri-
ty, and graccs of mind and heart.
should fix mans place in public re-
spect, and his title to social courtesies
Until this point is gained society is a
lacquered thing. or hollow pageant.
No, it is something worse-a heap of
fostering, heated muck and dirt, forc-
ing mushroom growth and toadstools
all over It's surface. There is no valid
basis of respect but industry and 6deli>
| ty; no sound social distinctions but
those of personal ability or culture
When these are recognized SO that
these alone allure men and women in
their ambition to get up in the world,
the most formidable temptation to
dishonesty and dishonor will disappea,
from our land"

value of the session cannot now be fully

the cost of the session compared with

favor of BIENNIAL sessions. Our re-
representatives. have been active and ats

them responsible for the failure of the
entire body. The tax,bill may or may

fully tested that its merits or defects
will become apparent. The credit of
the State is in no better condition. IL as

1NToxtCAfIos IN THE UNITED STATES.
DR.. Mckinley, of Chicago, has issued
pamphlet giving some interesting
statistics in reference to intoxieation in
the United States. The author claims
to have used extraordinary exertions to
obtain accuracy, having visited nearly
all the States in the Union, rs peniten.
taries, 800 jails, 40 almshouses and
hospitals, the haunts of the vicious and
the palaces of the refined to obtain
data Out of every 800 men we are
told that l.2 never drink ardent spirits
at all, and of 700 women 600 never
taste alcoholics of any kind. Of the
ITS men who drink 70 do so to intox-
icat1on. OF these 70 we are told that
3 are confirmed inebi iates, IS are
periodical drinkers, 50 are ephemeral
drinkers. In other words, l out of
every 4 men in the country drinks to
intoxication. The statistics for the
whole population of the country show
that out of 100000 there are $4,000
habitual drunkards; in a nation OF
4O,uoOsUUV there are 4OU,VuO haol'ual
drunkards. DR.. Mckinley states that a
very large proportion Of the excessive
drinkers are men of culture and refine-
ment- actors, lawyers, physicians, leg
islators and ministers of the Gospel.
Out Of II Congressman, l is a per-
pe.ual drinker, l an occas ional drinker,
drink periodically and 4 only are
sober at all times.

An ingenious scheme fer defraudi

An ingenious scheme fer defrauding
the Government has just been brought
to Light by one of the numerous in
vestlgating committees. 1t seems that
the loyal parties having the contract to
bury the bones OF their brethren who
fell in Louisiana, finding business rather
dull, concocted plan for increasing
their profits They were toreceive $40
for each body buried; and. thinking
that as the grave generally hides all
secrets they would be pretty safe,got
lot of bones OF horses, mules, ETC., and
proceeded to serve them out TOR burial.
1t is not known how many graves
filed with this kind of material were
paid for at $40 a piece, but it is hoped
that the names Of the departed mules
rest cgn:cnt with $50 interments and
laarbI head stones above them.
