A fight took place some weeks ago at

st0n race Of muscular heroes Is not extinct.
One day news was brought To the Curator
of the Museum that python % feet long
had esca ped from It's cage and was csreering
about the building, amid general sauve
qlI peut. At that moment the Curator
happened to have bottle of carbolie acid in
bis hand, and, armed with this weapon only,
he valiantly charged down upon the
monster. II was an exciting tussle when
they came together, and for few seconds
the shivering native spectators could not
make out which was snake and which was
man. Finally, however, the combatants got
q little apart, as if for another round, and
then it was seen that, while the man had
secured firm grip Of the python's throat,
the serpent had coiled iola or two round
| its enemy's legs. So they went at 1t again,
con d,tlofe, and were becoming as mingled

The Rlood-stanching Weed


During the French expedition TO Mexico
General Martroy was informed by native
that plant grew 10 his district which was
largely used In the domestic surgery of the
Mexicans, and he advised the General TO lay
IN a stock of IL for use in the French camp.
1t goes by the name Of "the Understanding
weed"--the exact native word has not been
placed on record. This plant has the prop
crty, when applied after being chewed or
crushed of almost instantly arresting the
flow of blood from a wound. General
Martroy brought home some specimens of
this plant to France, and cultivated It IN his
garden at Versailles, where il has thriVen
excellently every since, blossoms every year
and produces a sort of lruit. Meanwhile its
trans plantation TO European soil has not
robbed it of the quality for which II was
originally recommended to its introdueer.
Its recognized botanical name is Trades
cdHtid erectG. Although It is quite the re-
verse Of an ornamental plant. aud is not
distinguished by any beauty OF color oi
shape In its flowers, 1t fully deserves, If We
may trust our Informant, to be widely cul
tivated on account of its rare medical value
| The practicability Of its acclimatization Il
| now placed beyond n doubt. Its effect In
stanching bleeding is said 70 surpass al
means hitherto applied to this purpose, and
1t is in any case to be procured cheaply anC
| easily. Experiments have been made with 1

city advises its regular cultivation for medl

The bill now pending in the State Senate
directing tie Levy Court Of New Castle
county to refund the sum Of eighteen thou
sand dollars paid by private parties towards
the construction Of Third street bridge Is
matter demanding the most practical and
busIness-like consideration, lssshould be
determined upon its merits aloHe, and not
from any personal feelings.
The measure comes before the Legislature
backed by petitions and recommendations
Of the strongest character, and opposed only
by ysome members of the Levy Court, and
newspaper correspondent, actuated, doubt
less, solely by deeire to secure reputation
as tremendous force for innuenc-
ing Legislation. While this state
off affairs should not induce the Senators to
pass the bill hastily and without due re-
Election, 1t ought to be sufficient to secure
for it their respectful consideration and a
Judgment based entirely upon Its merits.
1t must not be presumed that the gentle
men interested In this bill, to say Iothing of
the leading citizens who favor its passage,
are a set of robbers, seeking TO plunge their
hands into the county treasury to the ex-
tent of the amount involved. The claimants
ask what they think they are Justly
entitled to, and 1t Is the duty
Of the Legislature TO honestly and
fairly pass upon the justice Of their
claim. This Is all there is in the matter,
and no amount Of Misrepresentation should
be permitted t. influence the vote Of any
member upon the measure.

3" Cincinnati Enquirer.

In its columns, the news OF the world is
given every day in the year. Its two thous
and correspondents located IN every section
of this country and Europe, are the most
reliable news gatherers TO be had, and the
history Of each days events will be faith
fully recorded and presented TO the public
through the Enquirer, free from distortion
or prejudice.
The province Of newspaper is TO record
facts to separate truth from falsehood, How
well the Enquirer has succeeded In this
duty,we feel a pardonable pride in referring
70 its tiles and past record for evidence Of
its ability and thoroughness in presenting
all matters treated upon In their true light.
The people Of this age require paper fully
abreast Of tho times, coequal In enterprise,
end material advancement In all mercantile
and political interests, such will the
EaqldreT continue TO be. Candor and fair
ness will be accorded to all questions and
parties, but the facts will never be perverted.
The immediate future has in store matters
OF grave interest TO all, and the general
welfare will largely depend upon the
influences Of those who are fully conversant
with the facts occurring and 10 occur. The
policy of the government but partially
| developed by the New Administration, was
fast winning the confidence of the people,
when the hand OF the assassin placed control
ofaffairs in charge of a faction whose leaders
have not at all times received favorable crii-
cisms for their public acts. What the future
policy is to be, will be foreshadowed during
the first year of President Arthur's admins
tration, and presented to the public without
fear or favor, in the columns ofthe EnquiTer.

IF THRRE Is any analogy between the
Croney case and the Neal case, as the
Aornin1 Netos seems to think, 1t is that both
illustrated the rancorous partisanshlp of the
Republican party Of Wilmington that finds
its way into the jury box and disregards
law, evidence, sworn obligations
and the instructions of the court. While
juries ''sworn to convict" cannot be said to
have ever existed In this State, 1t cannot be
denied that in any case where the interests
of the defendant affect In any way
the interests of the Republican party,
Juries ''sworn to acqult' are the chief OBJ
jects sought after. 1t is a matter Of regret
that political feelings should invade our
courts, but the Neal case was the entering
wedge and the disgrace seems likely to
cling to us for years.
