Philadelphia suffered so long and so patiently
under the frauds, corruptiOas and rObberieS of To-
cal ring politics that the citizens of that city
began 10 believe there WAS no remedy for them.
But the patience OF the people was finally
hausted, and year or so ago they commenced to
antagonZe the rings In the political field and in
the courts. Avict0ry for the citizens as gratifying
IS 1t Is crushing To the rings has just bee n
achieved in one OF the courts in the conviction OF
enc David MOuat, an eX-cOunciiman. for tamper-
Ing with election returns. MOuat, though
backed and assisted by the rings, was so closely
PRESSED that he was forced to plead guilty All
The efforts OF his friends to pack the jury failed
and when the criminal was brought face TO face
With justice he Succumbed Judge Biddle in pass
ing sentence OF two years imprisonment and a
0ne of 81 900, remarked that ''the time has come
when this thing (meaning such crimes as the
prisoner was guilty OF must come to an end or
else We will come to an end" This conviction will
nave most salutary effect upon the whole COM
nunity. IL will encourage the honest citizens to
press on In the good WORK they have so well be-
gun, and III VIII teach the rings and corrupt poll
ueianS that they can no longer escape the penal
Hes of their crimes.

and sent there because they refused to
fight against their native land. Their
treatment, while in this prison, has been
described as horrible, and on one occa-
sion they were fired upon by the guard
and number shot down in cold blood.
The British government afterward ad-
mitted that this was a sad mistake, but
it did not call the victims back to life, or
prevent their families from cheTishing
an undying hatred for England. The
greater part of the prisoners were kept
in the prison until the conclusion of the
war, and when they returned home re-
lated their stlfferings and made it their
duty to instill into the minds of their
children an enmity towards their brutal
jailors. At present it is home for or
binary convicts, among whom Davitt, a
gentleman of education and refinement,
whose only crime is that he loves his
country next to his God, has been heart
lessly thrown as if he were wife beaten
or thief. We are pleased to state, how
ever. that Labouchere and other liberals
are using their influence to have him
treated as political prisoner, and not as
a common prisoner; and to this end the
Irish people of this country are with

The GIass-Snake,

An English naturalist tells an anec-
dote about glass-snake, harmless but
not very pretty-looking reptile. It is
named from it's extreme fragility:
Its scales are ringed, and overlap each
other in peculiar way, and it has dull,
rawish-pink color, as if it had been
skinned It has sometimes been known
to attain length Of nearly six feet, and
grows almost as thick as mans wrist.
This, however, is an unusually large and
rare specimen. It's general length sell
dom exceeds four feet, and its thickness
not more than an inch and half in diam
eter. Many varieties of it abound in
Asia and America, and all are alike harm
less, their food, of which they eat very
little, being chiefly mice and small frogs
and beetles. A friend of mine, brother
student in ophiology, had fine coilec-
ton of these curious snakes, which were
all very docile, and allowed themselves
to be handled freely, except one, which
was really ill-tempered. They were all,
however, SO precisely alike in shape, size
and color, that it was impossible to tell
which was the particular one that pos
sessed unfortunate infrmity of temper.

From the Newburyport Herad.J
An Oldtown farmer the other day sent
his man to the meadows for load of
hay. In due time the farmer was sur
prised to see his help come into the yard
gravely driving team of oxen, pulling
behind them the tongue of a cart
Where in natures name is your load of
hay ?" called out the astonished farmer.
The man looked behind, recovered from
a deep fit of abstraction, and appeared
dumfounded. 1t was utterly inexplic-
able to him. Finally looking down the
road about half mile, there was the
hay where it had halted when the
tongue pulled out. We should call this a
remarkable case of Observation-Disclosures
and the man wasn't deaf either.
A little miss residing not far off had
got into the naughty habit of not stating
things as they were, or. to put It plainly,
OF stating them as they were not.
Rather than reason with her on the
wickedness of lying, her mother one day
took down the New Testament and very
solemnly read the story of Ananias and
Sapphire, and their sudden death be-
cause they tlisregarded the truth. The
little lady heard the story through, and,
looking up, said: "Mamma 1 don't be-
heve it; I've told lots and lots of lies"
