DON'T MIND SNAKE BITEs.-A curious
exhibition was given in DIR. Duncan Ewes
rear Office yesterday morning. DIR. Il
Shacklett and M. o. Collins, of Centre
vile, appeared there with the understand
ing that Collins was to permit rattle.
snake to bite him and then cure himself
by concOctiOn manufactured out OF the
MOSES which grow on white oak and hick-
ory nut trees. This moss had been put III
tnree and half pints of water, they say,
and boiled down to half pint.
The physicians chose rattlesnake In
preference to a copper head and cotton
mouth snake, by either of which Collins
proposed to make the test. He was bitten
IN the wrist by the rattlesnake, and the
wound bled. He at once applied the
remedy to the wound and took it Inter
nally. His pulse had beat at "a, tempera-
ture 80.
At the end of fifteen minutes from the
bite the pulse had risen to 81 and the tenn
perature to 1O13 degrees; fifteen minutes
more his pulse was 80 and temperature
100; in one hour from the time of the bite
the pulse beat at so, while the tempera-
ture marked 9S9.
At this point Of the proceedings Collins
suffered with nauseated stomach, and
remarked that be had tried the same ex-
pertinent with a rattlesnake at Centreville
last Monday; that the two experiments
had been too close together. and they
would not catch him making experiments
without greater lapse of time between
them.
The snake that bit Collins was then
leased until it struck dog, which died
from the bite one hour and thlrty-hve
minutes after. Collins claims to have got
his antidote from the Blackfeet and Che
rokee Indians when youth. -Nosh0ille

Ex.Gov. William Allen, of Ohio, one OF
the very few public men who has attrac-
ted the attention of two generations, died
at his homo near Chilicothe in that State
Friday. His life of seventy-three years
had been remarkable one. Born in North
Carolina he had drifted to Lynchburg
where he spent some time as saddler's
apprentice and from which place, more
than half century ago, he started on foot
in mldwinter to walk to Chilicothe where
his half sister, the mother of the present
Senator Thurman lived. She educated
him, he became lawyer, went to con-
gress and at the early age OF thirty-one was
elected to the U. S. Senate. In 1S4S he re
tired to private life where he remained for
twenty-six years until 1875, when he star
tied the country BY "kicking the top OFF
the coffin of the Democracy in Ohio" and
running into the Governorship. He was
defeated for the governolship the follow
ing year by Hayes and has since remained
in retirement. He was lifelong Demo
acrat, and in all his relations the soul OF
honor and his death takes name from the
list of statesmen both of the past and
present.

Alexandria s'GaZette" says that Colonel
MosDy, after several interviews with Gen
eral Grant IN Hong Kong, has written a
letter, stating that the General will GER

dency.
Senator Thurman writes to friend in
Ohio concerning the late session of Con-
gress: sin my judgment, no session OF
Congress has done more for the vindica-
ton of the principles of American liberty.
We have successfully maintained the prin-
ciple that the bayOnet shall not control the
ballot-box; we have repealed the infamous
jurors test oath; we have provided for i'm
partial juries i'll the Federal Courts, North
and South; and we have maintained the
principle that the Federal government
shall not interfere in the election of the
State. A greater declaration in favor of
popular liberty has not been made since
the adoption of Magma Charta."

We have received copy of ''Hepsidam"
by G. W. Meekins, P. V. (Dr. G. W. Bag
by) of Richmond. We have long been
puzzled to know what Virginia ought to
do with George Bagby, but we think this
publication has made it clear-she should
kill him: and in this opinion we expect to b.
joined by every public man whose name is
printed in "Hepsidam." But as the people,
who differ SO widely from the mother that
the old Commonwealth hardly knows her
own children, they will laugh until their
sides crack over it. Without question it
has sprinkled more salt on more raw places
and found more raw places to sprinkle it
on, than any pamphlet ever published in
the state, but 1T is done with such absurd
humor and with such pronounced impsrti-
ality, that we suppose even the victims
themselves can hardly get very mad over
