New JERSEY comes smiling forward with the
latest snake story A native of the apple-jack
State caught rattlesnake and put it in box
with glass top. Thinking that the reptile
might be hungry, a live mouse was introduced.
The snake paid no attention to the diminutive
rodent, and the pair were left together over
night In the morning the keeper inspected the
box, confidently expecting to find the snake out
side of the mouse. Instead of that, the mouse
seemed to have commenced eating the snake,
and had got away with the rattles. Luckily
for the story, and the mouse as well, it began on
the right end of the snake.

The New York Evening Post prints a let
ter, which it says is one of many of like inn
port, in which the writer complains of the
trouble he finds in formulating his reasons for
not voting for Blaine. The unhappy CORE
spondent has read all that the Post and much
that other papers have said against Blaine
and is firmly convinced that he is bold, bad
man; but when asked by his neighbors the
reasons for his belief he is unable to put the
facts into satisfactory shape" This is a sad
case, and the circumstance that it is zone of
many" must make it particularly distressing
to the Post, which has devoted itself for
several months to the task of showing exactly
why Mr. Blaine deserves the reprobation of
all citizens who count themselves among the
elect. Daily has its columns been loaded
with arguments and alleged facts against the
Republican candidate, and, as column Of
the Post is something less than mile in
length, the reflections of the editors over this
waste of material must be sorrowful. If
readers are. not convinced by the acres of as
sertion already set before them, or are at best
unable to tell why they are convinced, what
hope is there for future effortsR They have
said their worst, and it has fallen flat. What
use, then, to repeat if no reader can tell what
it is all aboutR The Post, however, meets the
emergency, and promises a little brochure Of
sixteen pages, which contains the gist Of all
it has said. Independents, and others who
are against Blaine for some cause, they do not
know precisely what can arm themselves with
this tract, and when asked questions they are
unable to answer can thrust one into the in
quirers hand and then escape. This method
of conversion to the Democratic fold will
probably not turn out to be productive; but it
has the merit of novelty, and will probably
answer equally well with other plans in vogue
with the Independents.
