We alluded day or two since to a
circular we had received from the gen
eral freight Office of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company
giving the distance from Chattanooga to
Dalton, Rome, Atlanta, Macon, etc.,
along its route. In this circular the dis
lance from Chattanooga to Brunswick
was put down at 432 miles, and that
from Chattanooga to Savannah was put
at 400 miles. This, it seems, is a mistake,
as the actual distance between Chatta-
nooga and Savannah by this line is 446
miles, while by the Central it is 433
miles-a difference in favor of the Cen
trail of Is miles. The circular men
toned, however, does not refer to actual
mileage, but to the mileage by which the
company is governed in its freight rates.
In other words, the E. t., V. & G. Rail-
way charges fer freights at so much per
mile as if the distance between Chatta-
nooga and this city was only 42O miles.

The Columbus Ohio Critic Republi-
CAM, referring to the policy of the adj
ministration to further the interests of
the Readjusters in Virginia, says:
1T only requires decisive victory for
Malone in Virginia, through the agency
of President Arthur's Federal patronage
and Jay Hubbell's black mail levies, to
give the electoral votes of Iowa and
Kansas. and the whole West and North
west, to the Democratic candidate for
President in 1884, if, in the meantime,
the party leaders are not wise and do not
fathom the true meaning of events.
Let us hope the same result may be
attained by the defeat of Malone. The
effect of his success would, if our Ohio
contemporary is right, be most salutary,
but the remedy would be worse than the
disease.

We publish elsewhere very interest
ing speech recently delivered by Gen.
John B. Gordon at dinner at the Cont
mental Hotel, Paris, given to the Hon.
Emory Storrs and himself by the mem
bers of the American colony in that
city. Our distinguished fellow clti-
zen was on that occasion the
recipient of marked honor at the
hands of his countrymen, and his
address was replete with eloquence and
zeal for the section in which he lives,
and for which he so CALAMITY fought. 1t
breathed throughout the spirit of genuine
patriotism, and reflected great credit upon
Gen. Gordon, both as a Georgian and as
an American.

1t is no uncommon thing to hear men
express the opinion that Mr.. Atkins will
be able to do more in Congress for the
improvement of our river and harbor,
and in this district generally. than Col.
Nichols. This idea is absurd from any
point of view. Col. Nichols is fully
identified with the First district, has
lived in it all his life and is a property
holder. He feels therefore a personal
interest in the welfare of the district,
which Mr.. Atkins, who has always lived
in the district only as a Federal office
holder, cannot possibly feel. Besides this,
the next House will be almost certainly
Democratic, and it is folly to suppose
that Mr.. Atkins, who is Republican,
can possibly have as mich influence with
a Democratic House as Col. Nichols,
who is lifelong, straightout Democrat.

Ayers Newspaper Annual.

We have received from the publishers,
Messrs. n. W. Aver & Sons, copy of
their American Newspaper Annual for
1882" This is one of the most complete
publications of the kind which has ever
been issued by Messrs. Aver & Sons, or
from any other establishment 1t con-
tains full, complete and carefully cor
rected list of all the newspapers pub
lished in the United States and Canada,
their circulation, etc., while the papers
known as class publications-such as
religious, agricultural and mechanical
iournals-are all arranged under proper
headings. The value of the work to
journalists and advertisers is therefore
apparent.
But this work is exceedingly useful to
all classes of the community. 1t con-
tains, besides the features above noted,
statistics of the population of each State,
Territory, county and county seat in the
United States, and of the chief cities and
towns, and of nearly every place in
which a newspaper is published in
this country and Canada. 1t also gives
the political majorities in the different
States aud counties as decided by the
Presidential election of 1880, and con-
tains carefully prepared description of
every county in the United States, as
we'll as of each State and Territory as a
whole, and of each of the Canadian
Provinces, giving valuable information
concerning their mineral deposits, chief
agricultural products. principal manu-
features, nature of the surface and soil,
location, area, etc. In a word, it is
replete with interesting information for
the general public, and especially for
business men, and as a work of refer
ence it is invaluable.

with big stick and soon had the reptile
killed. He had four rattles.
In the office Of the Brady (Texas)
Sentinel are eleven rattles, taken
from a snake that attaked q lady who
was riding horseback over the prairie.
As it sprang at her she refined her
horse to one side, and, drawing her re-
volver at the same time, shot the
snakes head off.
Frank Staffer,, of Chestnut Springs,
Chester County, came across monster,
blacksnake in his wheat field last week.
1t was about ten feet long and as thick
as mans arm. Mr.. Staffer was afraid
to singly attack the monster, so he
drove the reaper over it at rapid pace
and cut it in pieces.
Margaret Kane, little girl of Mauch
Chunk, stepped upon q -copperhead
while in her barefoot, and in an instant
its fangs were driven into the calf OF
her leg. She was Supplied with liquor
and q live toad was bound on the
wound for night. In the morning the
toad was dead, having absorbed all the
the little girl saved.
Mrs. Benjamin Ritter, of Strasburg,
Franklin County, heard a strange noise
like kissing from what she supposed to
be her hair switch that she was about
adjusting. 1t was a small blacksnake,
and her pressure upon it caused it to
lightly coil about her arm. By a des-
perate effort she threw it to the floor
with such force as to stun it, and then
taking poker she beat its life out.
John Bossler, of Donegal, Lancaster
County, heard the warning rattle OF
rattlesnake while working in his harvest
field, but paid no attention to 1t. A
moment afterward he stopped down
to pick upa sheaf of wheat, when an
immense rattler struck him on the
hand. He sucked the poison from the
wound, drank three pints of whisky
and took powerful emetic, and at last
accounts was doing well.
Mr.. Fronaberger, section-master on
the NJ. and G.. Railroad, living near
Troy, Ga, had for some time noticed
signs of a large snake along the road, and
finally concluded to carry his gun along.
He followed up the plan for some time
and one day discovered what he sup
posed to be bunch of snakes summing

gun and fired, and a monster about ten
feet Strengthened himself out and made
for a swamp, gobbling like a turkey.
Squire Clouser of New Bloomfield,
Perry County, set box trap for squir-
rels at the foot of his cherry tree. A
squirrel sprang the trap and left room
for mouse to enter. A copperhead
snake followed the mouse in, and after
the mouse and squirrel was
so much increased in size that it could
not get out. The consequence was that
the Squire was exceedingly surprised
to see the kind of game he had captured,
and narrowly escaped being bitten by
the snake.
