Thomas Bedford, who lives near
Baltimore, relates Il iirst-class snake
story, wherein a water snake fifteen
inches long, which vas found imbed-
ded in a cake of ice gathered perhaps
eighteen months ago, vas restored to
life on Thursday when exposed to the
sun. The ice was taken from the ice
house on the place, and the snake was
e in the center of a large block.
1t was cut out with a pick and was
stiff as q bone. When exposed to the
sun for some minutes, however. it
began to wriggle, and after IA time
started off for the grass. 1t was cap
tured and placed alive in Il large
glass bottle, and will be shown to the
Observation-Disclosures Times.

Ague Cure

Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful
tonlc, and is warranted a speedy and GER
tain cure for Fever Ynd Ague, Chills and
Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, Re-
mittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical
or Bilious Fever, and all malarial dis
orders. In miasmatic districts, the rapid
pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitudc. loss of
appetite, pain in the back and loins, and cold
ness of the spine and extremities, are only
premonitions of severer symptoms which
terminate in the ague paroXysm, succeeded
by high fever and profuse perspiration.
1t is a startling fact, that q~ninine, arsenic,
and other poisonous minerals form the basis
of most of the Fever and Ague Prepare
TONS "Specitics,' "Syrups,' and TON
from these mineral poisons. although they
are %palatable, and may break the chill, do
not cure, but leave the malarial and their
own drug poison in the SYSTEM producing
quinisin, dizziness. ringing in the ears, head
ache. vertigo. and other disorders more for
midahle than the disease they Were intended
to cure. AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly
eradicates these noxious poisons from the
system. and always cures the Severest cases.
1t contains no quinine. mineral. or any thing
that could injure the most delicate patient;
and its browning excellence, above its GER
tainty to cure, is that il leaves the system a.
free from disease as before the attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYERS AGUE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and bill
larry apparatus, drives out the poisons which
produce these complaints, and stimulates the
system to a vigorous, healthy condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.

FlVah Nhe hitVIu SoutAnL
Against any possible nominee at Chi.
cago the shafts OF SANDER would have
been aimed. AT moment when the
nomination Of Edmunds seemed probable,
the arrows began to be drawn on him, and
the whisper went about through the
country that the grave and incorruptible
Senator was a hard drinker. Ifhe had re.
ceived the nomination, there Is no doubt
that the New York Sun, the advocate OF
temperance and all the other virtues
would have led of in an attack upon
Edmunds, and probably would have
put It's columns in mourning over the pros.
pect that the White House, where total
abstinence has reiREed during the admin.
istration OF the lamented Mrs. Hayes,
would now become little better than a
lager beer saloon and the home Of inebri.
ates. And the Suns twin guardian OF the
public morality, the Herald, would have
lifted up its voice day and night in an
anxious inquiry (the means Of information
possessed by the Sun being so much su.
perior to its own, II these things can be
true, men and brethren?

The appropriations OF the Congress
which has just adjourned for the fiscal
year beginning next July l amount &c
slS6, 100000, those Of the last year were
sl92, OOO,OOO The. pension appropriation
was larger for this year on account of the
payment OF arrears, and for the next year
will be S4l, 100000, whereas the pension
outlay had fallen steadily from 81, O6O, 600
in 1871 to 100000 in 1878. II we de.
duct from the total appropriation the
postal revenue amounting to $50, 1000, 0OC
Including only formally, we find the net
ordinary expenditures Of the year, not in.
Guiding interest, likely TO be about $780,
100000. Last year they were Sl6l ,000, 600,
but in 1878, when the economical policy
OF the first Democratic Congress took full
effect, they were only 1874 000,0 The
Democrats have relaxed therefore about
so, 100000 Of their retrenchment. The
public service would fully meet the needs
OF the public to-day on an expenditure OF
SAC, 900, 900, aparttrem theinterest charge
and the postal revenue. Congress has
been in no respect so extravagant as in its
own employees, the stat OF clerks and chore-
boys having been increased 40 per cent
and the outlay $4,000.
One OF the campaign arguments intend.
ed to do duty through the fall is that Of
Congressman Baker OF Indiana, that
whereas the Republicans in FIVE years
took of taxes amounting TO Sl2l ,00O, 900
annually by placing articles on the free
list, reducing the tariff and throwing off
internal revenue taxes, the Democrats in
five years haye only thrown off taxes on
whisky, tobacco and quinine, amounting
to Sll, 900, 600 year. This is true, but the
Republicans had more grevious list to
begin with; the taxes which they abolish
ed cannot be abolished over again. The
question now is, which party is most
ready TO tackle revenue reform in the fu-
ture2

A BROOKLYN girl living at Stamford, Ct,
was out the other evening, after police
man to take care OF the young men who
auarreled in paying her attentions. She
is a daughter OF Thomas Kinsella and said
Richard Basteed, jr., a friend of the family,
had come to Mr.. Kinsella's residence to
spend the night. Theron Holly, ayoung
man Of Stamford, also called and spent the
evening, and was doubtless annoyed Iy
the fact that the girl and the "other fell
Ter" talked German, which he did not
understand, and sang beautifully together,
Mr.. Busted having "a fine baritone voice.
This was enough to make any fellow mad,
but as the young lady further explained:
We had some champagne and claret and
also some punch. The two men appeared
to get along well together. went up to
my room to powdermy face and Mr.. Holly
followed. He become abusive and put
his hand behind him as II TO draw re-
yolver. / went down and asked Mr.. Bus
teed to get him out Of my room. Holly
was found on the floor, vomiting and
feiguing to be intoxicated. Mr.. Busted
had gone to his yalise and armed himself,
and with his assistance got Mr.. Holly
out OF the room and down stairs. At the
foot OF the stairs Holly drew Colts re-
volver and leveling it at Mr.. Busted who
was on the stairs, said, g you, this is
for you, Busted" alr. Busted stepped
aside and the bullet buried itself in the
wall. He then drew small revolver and,
saying, "You that Is
for YOU" fired. Holly ran out OF the
house and sprang out OF the window and
called the patfolmen.
So young Holly got bullet which trav-
eled around one of his ribs and did no
further damage, and he preferred no
charge against Busted. He had been
forbidden the house. When young ladies
entertain rivals they shouldn't talk in ex-
aspsrating languages and "set up" the vic
tins with champagne, claret and punch"
