were never more needed than &C the
present moment, and yet with the
Mormon problem pressing for solution,
the tariff adjusted, the Apaches rob-
bing and numbering innocent settlers,
gangs Of Star Route thieves plundering
the national treasury, giant railroad
monopolies diverting government sub
sides from the original purpose and
FORGETTING their interest on their bonds,
with trade and commerce stagnant,
and labor troubles springing up in all
quarters Of the country, our Congress
dallies along from day TO day and
has not yet proposed a single measure
Of relief for any Of the evils COM
planned of. The floor that was once
enlivened BY the presence OF patriots
aud statesmen whose calm and
'thoughtfai deliberations were cal
culated 10 inspire confidence in the
wisdom and stability Of our institu-
tions, has now, if the telegraphic re-
ports are to be depended upon, been
turned into an arena for the display of
vaporing blackguards, who puff and
roar, and scream, and shake their fists
in each others faces, and give the lie
direct, and strive to make up in mem
dacity and rowdyism what they lack in
mental ability and common sense. All
the discussions in Congress during the
present session have invariably been
based on some personal issue; some
petty like or dislike between that in
dividual or that faction, and so far as
a simple, broad, national principle is
involved, We fail to distinguish or pick
it out. These men were not sent to
Washington to denolnce each other as
liars, or rage up and down in front of
the Speakers like a plains bull
whacker spelling for a fight, aud if
they have no better conception of their
duties they should al once be invited
to pack up their carpetbags and return
home. The spectacle presented is
simply ~disgraeeIul, and must invaria-
bly, point to the conclusion that
American craftsmanship is rapidly on
the decline.

Big Knnhe in a Wheel.

Bryn Mswr, Cor. Philadelphia Pres
The Harriton -four mills, located
near the lake inhabited by this big
snake, are owned by the Messrs. Pyle.
The dam which supplies them with
water is about an acre in extent and
is quite deep. The race which con
veys the water from the dam to the
mill wheel is also deep. On Monday
last, while the Pyles were at work at
the mill, the wheel suddenly began to
slow up, and soon. 10 spite Of the
heavy flow Of water, stopped alto
gether, and the large gate was raised
several inches. Mr.. Pyle, ST., raised
the trap-door in the floor of the mill
aud descended to the wheel TO ascer.
tain the cause of the stoppage.
Tangled in the wheel, w%rigelIng,
squifming and struggling, was a huge
water snake, evidently the denizen Of
the dam for whom such long watches
had been kept. The mill wheel is a
strong one, but the struggles of the
snake for liberty and and an
escape from the agony il

which was fortunately close at hand,
and plunging it into the body Of the
snake, hauled it out Of the wheel and
pinned it to the floor. The reptile

prior to its capture, and was greatly
weakened, or probably Mr.. Pyle would
not have secured SO easy a victory

trying to prove that tie National
Boardo of Health, (whlle it may keep

Constitution all to finders.
Mr.. Samcox is no friend of the
South, else he would not try to defeat
a measure, as he has persistently done
on two occasions during the present
session of Congress, that has for its
object the protection of so many mil.
lions of people. He quoted, say the
dispatches, from New Orleans papers,
to show that the National Board had
tried to get up a yellow fever scare
over q case OF jaundice. Our recol
lection about the matter is that but
one of the New Orleans morning pa
pers made such a charge, while the
other, the Times Democrat, regarded
it as ~fallaciOus. At any rate, Mr..
Samcox is well aware that New Or
leans is not the entire South, nor is
that city the only one to be protected.
New Orleans has got a Board Of
Health of her own. The effectiveness
of the National Board OF Health's
quarantine don't suit New Orleans
quite as we'll as it does V~icksburg,

Mr.. Sameox may serve very well for

While it is natural for the average
American citizen to look with feel

larly proud of that honorable body,

that can never be held up as a safe
model Tor future generations, and the
Goddess of Liberty might indulge in
a violent fit Of weeping every time
she looks toward Washington. As a
mere assemblage of pothouse politi.
clans with no desire in the heart Of
each individual member beyond bis
own aggrandisement, full of fight,
full OF venom, and we regret to Say,
iull 10 many cases of very bad whisky,
the present Congress is a success
