Zach CbaudIer,s speeches,

Senator Chandler of Michigan never
makes long speeches. They are always
terse and make an impression that
does not easily vanish from the minds
of his auditors. The other day he was
at Madison, Wisconsin, and in closing
one of his characteristic addresses, he
in the following few sentences said
enough to set all his hearers thinking.
Said he:
"My hearers, single word more
with regard to the position and pros
poets of the country. 1t has been the
Gust m with our opponents, and par
ticularly those of the greenback persua-
sion, to say that the people were starv-
ing 70 death. Do you know of any
body in the Stats of Wisconsin,, who is
willing and able to do good days
work, that cannot get employment to-
day, and get good days wages ?
There is not one in Michigan. There
has never been day when days la.
Dor would buy so many of the necessa-
ries and luxuries Of life as days labor
will buy to day. Prosperity is spread
ing throughout all our borders. To-
day you do not have to carry a counter
felt detector along with you to see
whether bank is BROKEN or not. To-
day you can select gold, or silver, or
bank notes that you know to be good
for your da, IS labor, and you know, too,
that a dollar is worth 100 cents. In
my judgment this prosperity has come
to stay [applausp], and the dark days
are over. Adhere to this good old Re-
publican party that has done SO much
good for you and so much for the coun-
try. Vote its ticket every time and
keep your conscience clear, and you
will never regret 1t.

An Ohio Suake Q story.

ICinclnnau COmmerclAl.
! Jonathan Rockwell, engineer at tn.
fire-brick works, at Sciotoville, ha'
caught and killed the greatest number
OF snakes ever heard OF in these parts
Some three weeks ago he purchased five
empty whisky barrels and stored them
in an outbuilding to be used TOR cider
barrels when his apples were ripe
enough to be made into the temperance
beverage. Near the outbuilding there
is ledge of rocks containing many
assures and openings, and has always
been "a bad place for snakes"
Yesterday Mr.. Rockwell took occasion
to visit the eutbuilding referred to, and
on opening the door he NJ ticed mum
Der of snakes crawling into the bung.
holes Of the whiskey barrels. Quick
as thought he got the bungs and drove
them into the barrels and secured the
snakes. He then attempted to roll the
barrels out of the building, but found
them too heavy to handle without as
sistance. He then called in J. D. Ma
thoit, Dastin Jones, George Sturdy,
Hugh Smith and Thomas Powell, who
armed themselves with hickory clubs
and proceeded 10 kill the snakes. The
bung was taken out of one barrel and
some hot water was poured in, and the
snakes began to come out SO rapidly
that 1t kept all the above gentlemen
busy with their clubs in dispatching
them.
The next barrel was treated in the
same manner until all the i've barrels
were emptied, and the total number of
snakes killed was 2, 1913. To-day there
has been steady stream of people
visiting the premises of Mr.. Rockwell
and viewing the slam snakes. No one
pretends to account for the snakes get
ting into the barrels. All we can say
is that they we're there, and it is the
"whole truth, and nothing but the
truth" The affdavits of our best and
most reliable citizens will substantiate
1t beyond any doubt. The snakes were
not all large ones, but there were none
less than foot in length, while many
were six or seven feet long. A trench
had TO be dug this afternoon to bury
them, as the stencil arising from them
was getting horrible.
PORTSMOUTH, o., July 25, 1879.
To the Editor of the Commercial"
The forgoing is submitted as the la
test and most reliable snake story out.
Refer to W. H. Bonsall, editor Of the
90 Tribune, or J. w. Newman, editor of
the "Times," should you question the
truth. Yours truly,
JOHN f. RATcLIFF.

PNkine Eun nj Fiat Money

Congressman Burrows, of Michigan,
is one of the national humorists. HI
developed the faculty during the last
session Of the 45th Congress, and his
happy, telling hits at political oppo
nents are always highly relished. He
was called out at the recent Republican
reunion at Madison, Wisconsin, and
said

ness. can understand how piece OF

tell you, my fellow-ci there is no
use in talking about getting out of the
national debt in any way, except to
pay it; that is the only straightforward
way to do. To-day the best thing that
could happen to the financial interests
and the business interests would be for
Congress to pass law at its very neEt
session to punish with death any mem

years. What we want is to be let alone,

lounges and reigns a young lord, with
the world of fashion and pleasure at
his feet. And then anybody can be an

He was too modest to give his owr
name.
Said the orchard owner, cooling down,
"Well,you have been so honest in tell.
ing your name, will let you 60 this

This is the only time we ever heard
of modesty receiving its proper reward.
Two hackmen ran into each other at
night, and one, whose horse was killed,
cites the other before the tribunal.
"When you had run into the CON-
plainants horse and knocked it down
and run over it," says the Court, stern
ly, "why didn't you stop to see what
damage had been done ?"
"Oh," replied the cabby, 81 didn't

it was only a man."

A man may have many sorrows and
bear them serenely; he may lose for.
tune and become contsntsd with pov-
erty; he may even look upon his rival
in the affections Of wealthy match
with wild despair. The power of man
to endure these things is tremendous.
But if he happens to have on pair of
