General Tyler,

General Tyler, Of Alabama, was in
Cairo on Wednesday evening. He has
been in South Carolina for several weeks
endeavoring to satisfy his mind as to
who-Tilden or Hayes-had honestly
carried that state. Gen. Tyler is Re
publican. but he is one Of the few really
good ::Republi:ans who try to DO right
In all things and by all persons. While
in Cairo he was the guest of Capt. w. p.
Halliday. In conversation with several
prominent gentlemen as to the situation
in South Carolina, Gen. Tyler was asked
whether it was not his belief that Gov.
Chamberlain was terribly abused and
ill-treated man, to which he replied. II
am sorry to say do not. l have known
Chamberlain ever since he was a boy,
and never knew anything good OF him.
Gen. Tyler is a man OF responsibility
and character, seventy-eight years of
age, and cannot afford to lie.

The Rattlesnake as an American
Emblem.

A correspondent of Potter's Historical
Monthly writes: In the London Morning
Chronicle of July 20, ITS, l find the fol-
lowing: "The cOlors of the American fleet
have snake with thirteen rattles, the
fourteenth budding, described in the at
titude of going to strike, with the motto,
Don't tread on me- 1t is a rule in
heraldry that the worthy properties of
the animal in the crest shall be con-
sidered, and the base ones cannot be in
tended. The ancients accounted snake
or serpent an emblem of wisdom, and
in certain attitudes of endless duration.
The rattlesnake is properly representa-
tive of America, as this animal is found
in no other part of the world. The eyes
of this creature excel in brightness most
of any other animal. She has no eyelids,
and is therefore an emblem of vigilance.
She never begins an attack nor ever sur
renders; she is therefore an emblem of
magnanimity and true courage; when
injured or in danger of being injured,
she never wounds until she has given to
her enemies warning of their danger. No
other of her kind shows such generosity.
When undisturbed and in peace she does
not appear TO be furnished with weapon
of any kind. They are latent in the root
of her mouth, and even when extended
for her defense appear to those who are
not acquainted with her to be weak and
contemplate, yet her wounds, however
small, are decisive and fatal. She is
solitary, and associates with her kind
only when it is necessary for their pres
ervation. Her poison is at once neces
sary means of digesting her food and Ger.
tain destruction to her enemies. The
power of fascination attributed to her by
generous construction resembles
America. Those who look steadily on
her are delighted and inyoluntarily adj
vance toward her, and having once ap
preached never leave her. She is fire.
quently found with thirteen rattles, and
they increase yearly. She is beautiful
in youth and her beauty increases with
her age; her tongue is blue. and forked
as lightning"
The analogies of the first American
ensign are ingeniously set forth in the
foregoing extract, yet as our prejudice'
against the snake are deeply rooted, ant
as old as original sin ITSELF few of Oul
countrymen would regret that the device
was changed.

The succcssftaI Physician.


There Is probably no man to whom the
community owe so much as to the honest,
fair-spoken physician, who does his actual
duty both to himself and to his patients.
Really skillful physicians are not SO numer:
GUS that their virtues need no mention, and
hence the advertisement of DR.. r. v. Pierce,
of Buffalo, may well claim the readers at
tention. DR.. Pierce Is type of GLASS OF

skill, reasonable fees, and large corps OF
competent assistants, DIR. Pierce will doubt,
less make his name familiar as "household

Soft SOap MS n Weapon.

The most memorable cleaning that
ever was done with soft soap was when
it cleaned out band of savages. Soft
soap" was first most effectually applied
in this country by the Swedish women
who defended the old Qog) Swedes'
church below Philadelphia, before the
city was laid out. '1 ~
A friendly squaw gave notice of an
intended attack by the Indians. The
scandinavian ladies we're boiling soap,
and they at once concluded to convert
the contents of the kettle into aumuni-
ton of defense. They lifted II into the
church, with fre-wood to keep it hot.
As the warriors began TO undermine the
foundations, they reccived on their bare
backs a spirited fire Of the terrible ma
terial, which in due time sent them
bowling into the wilderness. The in
cident was related by participant, who
died in London at an advanced age. She
was q granddaughter Of the Swedish
burgher, Suen Schulz.

A Snnfr Box with a History.

An interesting relic, and one which
should be sent to Philadelphia to be
exhibited with the other mementoes of
Washington, has been discovered to be
in the possession of Mr.. v. l.. Williams,
of Belleville. The article in question is
snuff box which, according to the
written history accompanyingit it, is made
from the wood of the tree that sheltered
Sir William Wallace after the battle of
Falkirk. The box was presented to
General Washington by the Earl of
Buchan, who had received it from the
Goldsmiths' Company, of Edinburgh,
Scotland, which company, at the request
of the carl, consented to its transfer to
Washington. Although Washington in
his last will made special bequest of
the box, in which he recommitted it to
the Earl OF Buchan, or his heirs, it seems
that the bequest was not faithfully car
ried out, as the. box went into the
possession of Commodore Decatur, and
was by him presented to the mother of
its present owner. This curious and
interesting relic is jealousy guarded by
Mr.. Williams, who, SO far, has refused to
permit its transfer to Philadelphia for
exhibition at the Centennial, and in
1916 he refused 5000, made by a
representative from Scotland, VINO wished
to purchase it for the Scottish Museum.
A description Of the box may not be
arniss. II is made of oak, is about 81
inches in length, q inches in width, with
an average thickness of one inch. In
shape it is rather oval. The box is very
ingeniously constructed, and has. four
compartments, one of which contains h
metal tube intended, mall probability,
for holding ink. 1t is constructed with
two silver bands near the ends, whilst
tho lid of the snuff compartment is
ornamentcd with silver plate, OH which
is engraved the Scottish coat of-arms.
The box, considering its great age--over
500 years-is in a good state of preserva-
ton, and, with very little trouble, could
be made as good as news. Louis

A curious question was involved in q
case tried at the Sheffield County Court,
namely, the control of wife over her
wedding ring. The circumstances were
as follows: The wife, shortly before her
death, gave her wedding ring to her
mother, at whose house she died. The
husband claimed the value of it as set
off against claim brought against him
for his wife's board and lodging. The
Judge decided that a wedding ring comes
under class of articles which the wife
has separately and Independently Of her
husband, and which she has power to
keep, but not to give away or leave from
her husband. On the contrary the hus-
band has power to give them away even
during her life. In this case the wife
had no power to give away her ring, and
the judgment must be accordingly. This
may be law, but it seems hard that the
wishes ofthe deceased woman with re-
gard to her ring should not be respected.
Had the husband claimed the wedding
ring as a matter of sentiment, legal pro-
ceedings to recover 1t would be intelli-
gible, but to demand it as "setoff"
against claim for board and lodgings
is sad dissertation of what was regarded
in less pawnbroking ages as a symbol OF
confidence and eternity.

Text OF the Veto OF the Presidential
Salary Bill.
To The Senate of the United States:

To the Senate Of the United States:
Herewith return Senate bill No. 172, en-.
titled Gan act Skiing the salary of the Presi-
dent of the United States" without my APP
proval. i am constrained to this course
from a sense Of duty to my successors in
Office, to myself and to what is due to the
dignity OF the position of Chief Magistrate
of nation Of more than 100000 of
people. When the salary of the President
of the United States was fixed by the consti-
tuition at $4,000 per annum we were ma
ton of but 5000, 900 of people, poor from
long and exhaustive war, without commerce
or manufactures, with but few wants, and
those cheaply supplied. The salary. must
then have been deemed small for the re-
sponsibilities and dignity of the position, but
justifably so from the Impoverished condi-
was desired to cultivate in the Republic.
The salaries of Congressman under the
constitution were first fixed at six dollars
per day for the time actually in session,
an average of about 100 days to each
session, or 1920 per year, or less than one
thirtieth of the salary of the President.
Congressman have legislated upon their
own salaries from time to time since, until
finally they have reached $1,000 each per
annum, or one-fifth that of the President be-.
fore the salary of the latter was increased.
No one having knowledge of the cost of
living at the National Capital will contend
that the present salaries Of Congressman are
too high, unless ii be the intention to make
the office one entirely of honor, when the
salary should be abolished, a proposition re-
pugnant to our Republican ideas and institu.
tons. do not believe the citizens of this
Republic desire their public servants to serve
them without a fair compensation for their
services. The sum of $25, 900 does not de.
fray the expenses of the Executive for one
year, or has not in my experience. 1t is
now one.fifth in value what it was when
fixed by the constitution in supplying de.
mands and wants. Having no personal in.
terest in this matter, have felt myself free
to return this bill to the House in which il
originated, with my objections, believing
that in doing SO meet the wishes and judg
ment of the great majority of those who in
directly pay all the salaries and other ex
penses of the government. u. S. GRANT.

Rev. DIR. FIELD, of the Evangelist,
writes from India an account of the
Parse and Hindoo modes of burial. The
bodies of the Parsees are not burned lest
the touch of death should pollute the
flames, for they have an idolatrous rever-
ence for fire; neither can they be buried
in the earth, nor in the sea, for earth and
water and air are all alikesacred. They
therefore expose the bodies of their dead
to be devoured by birds of the air. As
soon as the birds strip the flesh from the
body, the bones are thrown together in a
deep pit. Compared with this, the
Hindoo mode of disposing of the dead by
burning, seems almost like Christian
burial. Yet it is done in mode which
is very offensive. In returning from
Malabar Hill one evening, along the
beautiful drive around the bay, we no
ticed number of furnace like openings
where fires were burning, from which
proceeded a sickening smell, and were
told that this was the burning of the
bodies of the HindOOs |"
