A Snake Story Hard to Swallow.

Young Newton dropped into our Of
flee yesterday and gave US the partic-
ulars of a difficulty he witnessed be-
tween large rattIesnake and cat.
The snake was trying to get through
a fence on Duel Bush's plantation,
when large cat made an attack upon
the serpent. After the cat had caught
the snake with It's teeth and drew it
back it looked as if it was dead. The
cat Immediately began to eat the rep.
tile, and at the first entrance of the
cats teeth in the snakes flesh it re-
vived and struck the cat in the mouth,
causing instant death. After this the
snake swallowed the cat and endeav-
ored to travel. Young Newton then
killed the snake and cut it open, find
ing the cat, supposed to be instantly
killed, and was astounded to see it
crawl out and devour the dead snake

HOW MAN HAS IMPROVED.
[Popular Science Monthly.l

The relation man to nature primor-
daily and Of savage races in the pres
ent day is, as we know, very different
from what it has been represented to
be by poets and philosophers In the
delightful pictures their fancy painted
there was nothing true; the idyllic
conditions amid which they fancied
the still youthful human race as living
never have existed anywhere. The
history of man the world over has its
beginning not in golden age, but an
age of stone. Instead of noble shep-
herds and lovely shepherdesses, who,
under benignant skies amid pictur-
.esque scenes, live in innocence on the
produce OF their focks, decorously en-.
joying all the purest gifts of fortune,
the reality presents to our view rude,
uncouth hordes struggling against
hunger, against wild beasts, against
the inclemency of the seasons; buried
in filth, in groveling ignorance and
brutal sel6shness; their women made
slaves. their old people cast out; prac-
ticing cannibalism first out of neces-
sity, and then because superstitious
usage had hallowed the custom. Into
the mental state of such beings we
can enter as little as into that of
children. We cannot strip ourselves
of the acquisitions made by the gen
whose successors we are, aud
whose priceless hoardings of the fruits
of their labor now inure to our bene-
fit. If, as Paul Rroca teaches, the
mean cerebral mass of Parisians in
the present day exceeds that of Paris
ians in the twelfth century, may we
not assume our brain to have, by
process of gradual Improvement, be-
come more highly developed than the
Drain of the man of the stone age,
100000 years ago? And this brain,
more peri, ct as it is by nature, has
)een, at an early period of his life,
subject to innumerable unconscious
Influences, and, later, to the conscious
Influences OF education, which render
t in some sense incommensurable
With the brain of those as yet half
brute creatures.

The Way They Tell it.

\ correspondent of an Eastern pa
per relates the story of James G. Fair
this wise: There is a man alive at
this present moment who, if he were
SO minded, could give his daughter
marriage portion of one hundred and
City million dollars. He would then.
have about fifty millions left for HIM
self. He lives halfway up noun
tain-side in Nevada, and his daughter
lives with him. Seven years ago he
was poor man; to-day he is the sil
yer king Of. America. He has dug
two hundred million dollars worth of
silver out of the hill he is living on,
and has abont two hundred millions
yet to dig. If he lives three years
longer he will be the richest man in
the world, His name is james Fair,
and he is the manager, superintendent,
chief partner, and principal stock hol-
der in the Consolidated Virginia and
California silver mines, known to men
as the "big bonanzas" lie has an ar
my of men toiling for him day and
night, down in the very depths Of the
earth, digging, picking, blasting and
crushing thousand tons Of rock ev-
cry twenty-four hours. He works as
hard as any man Of them Tac man
who, BY his own unaidcd exertions,
can rise to such marvellous wealth in
SO short a time is worth knowing
something about. It is worth while

can be accumulated.

THE funnel shaped cloud, which
nearly destroyed the town OF Richmond,
Missouri, emitted smoke and reverber-
ations louder than thunder. and the
trees, grass and shrubbery were found
to be scorchel as if BY heat. The
theory is advanced that electricity,
and its constant passage between the
cloud and the earth, accompanied by
heat. was the real agent Of destruc.

charges the Democrats with being
unfaithful to the pledges of 1875
denounces the Democrats fol

the so-called fraud investigation;
reaffirms its belief in the fair elec.

and pledges the Republican party
to the work of purifying the public
service. The following is the 9th
article of the platform: "We
deem 1t iDexpedient to nominate
candidates for Governor and other
State officers, because, owing to
the condition of affairs in this
State, occasioned by rifie-club rule

the Bankers, Association to-day,
J. d. Vermilye, of New York, pre-
sented an elaborate table, prepared
at the Clearing House, showing
the disastrous effects produced and
still meanacing the country by
reason of the excessive taxation of
banks. He showed how capital
and the surplus of banks had been
depleted in the past few years, and
asked the Executive Council to
take action to bring the facts to the
knowledge of Congress. The Ex-
ecutive Council reported tho fol.
lowing;
Resolved, That in the opinion of
this Association, the near approach
of the day appointed by law for the
resumption of specie payments and
values is to be hailed as an event of
the highest Significance to the
prosperity and welfare of the whole
nation, because it is the only
means by which industry, trade
and general tranquility and con-
tentment can be restored to the
public. The American Bankers
Association, therefore, pledge their
aid and support to the Govern
ment in its return to specie
standard in the transaction of the
financial affairs of the country.
Resolved, That the resources OF
the conutry. arising from abundant
crops In several successive years

credit, the balance OF trade with
other nations, and from
the rapid development o
mechanical inventions and appll'
auces, by which productive indus
Try has been facilitated and In

supplying the necessary means foI
coin resumption.
Tho resolutions were adopted

Prince Orlof's complaint to the French
government in regard to tho structures OF
portion Of the Paris press on Russian poll
ties, and the answer made, mark somewhat
sharply tho change in France. Never be-
fore was there time when the government
of France did not admit its responsibility
for what was said in papers whose appear
ance il could stop when it chose. One of
the facts that Continental statesmen and
rulers-and these not only Russians and
Germans, but Trcnchmon also-never could
fairly make out in the internal economy of
England was, that tho government while
keeping mp friendly intercourse still pcr-
mitted newspapers TO revile and caricaturo
their policy and their magnates, and pre-
tended it could not help it. Now they sud
denly see France take the same position,
and the fact Is even less comprehensive
with her than with England. Still, France
is not absolute in her assertion Of the free
dom Of the press. Although the government
declares it has no control over the papers,
1t '.invites" them to be less aggressive-a
hint they will heed. The journals COM
planned Of are the Dfbats and the Rfpublique
Etancaise. The first Of these Is in sympa-
thy with English views and does not like

"shoo Ely.o

In the House OF Representatives yesterday
Mr.. Butler, Of Massachusetts,, and Mr.. Cox, Of
New York, engaged in what might be termed
a conversation rather than debate on
democracy, patriotism, wit, repentance,
good humor, independence and partisan
ship. 1t will be seen that the conversation
was discursivc, and yet it was not without
point Mr.. Butler tried to help the demo-
Gratis out Of their sad straits in regard to
the choice Of .Doorkeeper and proposed
that they should choose General Shields,
man wounded in two wars in the service
Of the country or, If not satisfied
with him, that they should nominate
some one-legged Confederate soldier who
had also been wounded in Mexico. The
democratic opinion, rs interpreted by Cox,
appeared to BIO that Benjamin was too
unanimous. And yet they did not know
exactly how to get around his proposition,
and had very clumsy time OF it, which
came very near ending in prayer meeting.
There wasone point that Cox regretted with
some sensibility, and in which the public
will fully agree. He deprecated Buffers
repetition Of an old joke. Butler
once sat on Cox and fattened him out with
that famous joke about ''shoo fly" Yestcr-
day he repeated it. Cox WINS sorry. SO are
we. For if it is confession that Butler had
no new fancy we regret that; and If Cox was
to be stirred up at all We should have pre-
ferred to see it done with new and brilliant
fancy that would have excited his admin
ton and thereby have turned his attention

missionaries ON the Congo.

The first fruit Of SANKEY'S great exploit in
following the Congo from Nyangwe to the
ocean is the encouragement it has given to
the missionary who follows in the footsteps
OF the explorer and has already reached the
region OF the cataracts. Even the ultra
humanitarians who deprecated SANKEY'S
vigorous resistance to the overpressing at
tentions Of the cannibals Of Central Africa
will perceive that if he had allowed himself
to be eaten, rs they insist was his duty, the
light Of the Gospel would not have pene-
trated to Wanfuninga or Koruru, perhaps,
for another century, because the mission
aries would not have heard anything about
these benighted regions. 1t is clear, there
fore, that although he may not have been
filled with the true evangelical spirit while
struggling for his life among the savages of
the interior Of Africa, Stanley has traced
path for the men of peace and prayer which
they are not slow to follow.
