A Georgia man was fishing near a
rock under which was a snakes den,
the other day, when the reptile came
gliding up from ioraging expedition
and was disappearing in the hole under
the rock. when, by a dextcrous move
ment, the man seized him by the tail
and threw him twenty feet away The
snake hardly knew what had happened,
and again cS,aycd to enter his domicile
in the same manner Again he was
treated as before. Never despairing,
for third time the willy serpent ap-
preached the rock. This time he came
deliberately, as if contemplating the
situation. Arriving at the mouth of the
hole, he deliberately coilcd himself mp
and put out his long tongue as if to take
in the full situation. For awhile he main
tanned this defensive position, when he
carefully began to uncoil, at the same
time disappearing tail foremost into the
den, to the admiration Of the man who
had been amusing himself at his ca
pense.

No Case of Inability.
Washington Repub lican.l

The fact is tolerably we'll established that
the Cabinet does not believe there is any need
of agitating President Garfield by suggestion
that he shall call Congress together to create a
tribunal to decide upon the subject of inabili-
ty, or that he shall abdicate his office by testi-
flying to his inability as a basis for the exer-
else of presidential duties by the Vice-Presi-
dent. 1t is equally certain that the Vice Pres
ident will not be persuaded to assert the inabil-
ity of the President. or even to contemplate
its existence unless apprissd of it by the Presi-
dent himself. There has been an animated
discussion in the press upon this subject, and
it has of course, been the theme of informal
conversation among Cabinet officers as it has
been in every intelligent circle We are fully
convinced that at no time has the Cabinet seri-
ouSly entertained the idea of proposing any ac-
tion by the President looking toward declar-
alton of his own inability, and it is certain
that no member of the Cabinet would be so
disloyal to the President as to admit the exis-
tence of constitutional vacancy by reason of
inability upon any other testimony so long as
the President is conscious. The proposition to
turn the President out and put the Vice-Pres-
ident in his place does not come from the
friends of either. 1t would be difficult to trace
it to any other source than the tendency of ac-
tive minds to discuss possible contingencies In
the absence of more important topics. The
Republican has steadily maintained that the
test of inability would be incapacity for dis
charging important duties imperatiyely requir-
ing action. Trifes could be ignored, as they
are in case of absence. The utmost inquiry
as to executive duties unperformed and requir-
ing the Presidents personal attention since
July discloses only the following: The sign
ing of an order for the retirement of Paymas-
ter-General Cutter, of the navy, retired by
statute on account of age; the appointment of
an auditor of railway accounts, and the hear
ing of an application for pardon from Pennsyl-
vania 1t would be folly to contend that any
emergency as yet exists requiring considera.
ton OF Tic definition of Presidential inability.
