his mind freely on the subject of

election of Hancock and English.

warder here-a Republican, by
the way-Mr. Gould unhesi-

the success of the Democratic
Presidential ticket this fall.

Cornell.
"Well," said Mr.. Gould, "the

carrying New York, and | be-
lieye that as goes New York so
will also 60 New jersey at least

Mr.. Gould also ventured the
remark that the Republican

A MOMENT OF TERROR.

ing trlhlng adventure IN an aoan-
doned mine in that locality, in
which a physician of Tombstone
was the hero. The doctor was
exploring a drift of the old mine,
extending some distance from the
main shaft, and was compelled
to crawl upon all.fours through
some of the snarrow passages,
carrying q lighted taper. A
chamber ten or twelve by eight
was soon entered, after an exam
ination of which and o selection
of some ores the tour of discov-
cry was continued.

essary to crawl, and the doctor
once more assumed the infantile
position of locomotion. An ad-
vance of a few feet had been
made, when a cold, clammy sub
stance was touched by the hano,
and two bright, glistening orbs
gradually rose in the air and
flashed back with intensified
brightness the feeble rays Of the
taper. Almost instantly hiss
ing, rattling sound startled the
hearing, and the doctor realized
that he had encountered a rat
tlesnake. To retreat was the
work of a second, and the cham
ber just left was soon regained.
Assuming an upright position,
the doctor cost q heSty glance at
the aperture from whence he had
emerged, and 10! and behold
there approached his adversary,
which, when seeing the disturber
of his piece, ooiled himself for q
spring. A look was sufficient to
satisfy the doctor that the snake
was one OF the largest of his
species. and a determined foe.
Immediate action was necessary.
To retreat was to invite and has
ten the attack, with chances in
favor of the snake.
To take the aggressive, then,
was the work of another second;
and picking up a chunk of ore,
the doctor hurled it with all his
might at the protruding, vibra-
ting head of the snake just as he
was in the act of springing. The
exertion Of throwing the ore ex-
tinguished the taper, and the
