No Reason for Ills Pardon.

Surprise Is expressed by some Rcpub-
licans that Gov. NICHOLS should not have
pardoned Gen. ANDERSON In Louisiana the
assent of the Senate is required to give a
pardon validity. The Senate has now adj
journed and ANDERSON has not received
pardon. What nstonishes the Republicans
Is that Gov. NICHOLAS should have lot slip
the opportunity 10 procure pardon, leav-
ing ANDERSON In prison.
But what occasion is there for any sur
prise whatever? Why should Gen. AMBER

his photographed speech in the Assembly
He was born in u tavern; he began drinking

He is the father Of eleven children. and has u

his own experience. but to the Bible. and
showed that Christ himself consortcd with pub
Leans and sinners and was obnoxious to the

sumed a huge quantity Of ale last Sunday. We

A Snakes Wonderful Feat.

Speaking OF snakes, yesterday, Super
intendent Brown, of the Geological Gar
den, said that he could tell snake story
and not second-handed one either
About year ago one of the large rep
tiles in the collection took sick and
seemed to be going into decline. Moth
ing that they could give him appeared
to do him good, and from loss of appe-
tite and sleeplessness the snake became
a mere wreck of his former self A large
blanket had been placed in the serpent's
cell for him to sleep upon. One morn
ing the keeper found that the blanket
had disappeared. Search was made
throughout the cage, but without sue
cess. At the same time the snakes body
had swelled to the thickness of a good
sized sapling. He had swallowed the
blanket. But the blanket wouldn't
digest, and the snake became sicker
than before. In this manner he lolled
around like wan dyspeptic for over
four weeks. Finally the blanket was
discharged by natural causes. Immedi-
ately the snake began to improve. The
swelling of his body gradually dwindled
down, ana he grew larger and fatter
than before, till the box became too
small to hold him. The keepers then
removed him to larger cage. He ate
like gourmand and at times found room
for two and three times the customary
quantity of food. The blanket acted as
sort of medicine upon his stomach and
cleaned HIM out entirely. Now he is
fifteen feet long, eighteen inches in cir
cumference, and is the heaithiest boa
constructor of the lot. A change of color
was the only visible effect on the blanket.
Under the microscope it showed that ii
had become little worn by being
rubbed in the animals stomach. II
came out undigested, and it was careful
ly packed away in the superintendent e
Office, where it now lies. .-PhiJadeiphia

Meeting Between Grant and Bismarck,

A correspondent of the Herald de-
scribes the visit Gen. Grant paid to Bis
marck in Berlin. The General walked
from his hotel to the Radzewell Palace,
only few rods distant. His visit had
been expected. He advanced TO the
doors, but, before he had time to ring,
two servants threw them open, and he
passed into an open marble hail.
Through the opened and opening doors,
with both hands extended to meet the
General, came the Prince. He wore an
officers uniform, and, oc taking the
Generals hand, said, "Glad to welcome
Gen. Grant to Germany" The General
answered that there was no incident in
his German tour that more interested
him than this opportunity of meeting
the Prince.
Bismarck expressed surprise at seeing
the General so young man, but, on a
comparison of ages, it was found that
Bismarck was only seven years the Cen
erals senior. "That," said the Prince,
"shows the value OF military life, for
here you have the frame of young
man, while feel like an old man." The
General, smiling, announced that he was
at that period of life when he could
have no higher compliment than being
called young man. BY this time the
Prince had escorted the General to a
chair. One of the Princes first ques.
tions was about Gen. Sheridan.
"The General and l" said the Prince.
were fellow -campaigners in France,
and we became great friends" Gen.
Grant said that he had letters from Sheri-
dan recently, and he was quite well.
Sheridan" said the Prince, seemed
to be man of great ability" "Yes,"
answered the General, 81 regard Sheri-
dan as not only one of the great soldiers
of our war, but one of the great soldiers
of the world, as man who is fit for the
highest commands. No better General
ever lived than Sheridan"
After long conversation, in which
the congress, the attempt on the Empe-
ror's life, and other topics were dis
cussed, our civil war was broached, when
Bismarck said, 1t was long war and
a great work well done, and / suppose it
means long peace. 81 believe SO,
said the General.
Both gentlemen arose, and the Gen
eral renewed the expression OF his pleas
ure at having seen man who was so
well known and SO highly esteemed in
America. General" answered the
Prince, "the pleasure and the honor are
mine. Germany and America have al
ways been in so friendly relation that
nothing delights ns more than to meet
Americans, and especially an American
who has done so much for his country,
and whose name is so much honored in
Germany as your own" The Prince and
the General walked side by side to the
door, and after shaking hands the Gen
eral passed into the square. The guard
presented arms, and the General lit a
fresh cigar and strolled home.

Change i'm the Form OF the British Gov
ernment

Lord Beaconsfeld did recently that
which cost Charles /. his head and
James III. his throne. He assumed au-
tocratic authority, spurned the bundle
of acts called the British constitution.
and defed the Imperial Parliament when
he moved troops at will from Malta and
Hindoostan, and acquired Cyprus with
out consultation with anyone save his
sovereign self. In every way he acted
as II the Queen was but nonentity and
Parliament a body under his absolute
control. No other Premier ever dared
to take such liberties with the British
people, whose proudest boast is that
they live in the freest nation on the
globe. The autocracy of the Romanoff
has at least been equaled by Beacons-
field.
