FRESH SNAKE STORIES.

James Crawford, wkile walking
in his garden at Atlanta, stepped
upon snake, which turned and
buried its fangs in his. ankle. A
quart of whisky, he believes, saved
his life.
John Barber, q farmer FIVE miles
from Saratoga, discovered a lot of
black snakes in a cavern. As they
emerged he knocked them over with
a stick, and in thirty minutes killed
fittysseven Of them. go
The twe-year old child Of James
Halford of Hebron, Neb., was seen
struggling with something in the
grass. Its mother found it with both.

rattlesnake just above the rattles,

but was unable to get in position to
strike.
While resting his team, Charles
GRADER, a farmer of Pennsburg, Pa,
fell asleep sitting on the plough
beam. He awoke suddenly and
found big black snake eoiled around
his leg. He could not shake itoff,
and was almost fainting, when he
saw four other snakes approaching.
Just then his deg, hearing his shouts,
dashed to his rescue, and seon made
whip crackers of the snakes the
smallest of which was five feet in
length. 80 @ pso y
A peculiar case of snake charn-
ing is related by the Montgomery
Standard. Four men visited a
snakes den, armed with long whips.
After a while the party separated
in search Of plants. Soon thereafter
one Of the number was found stand
ing spellbound in front Of the den,
and an immense black snake was
coiled in front of bin. The man
was rigid, and his eyes were start

The Republican Ticket.
What the New York Press Thinks Of
the Chicago Nominees.

James G. Blaine, the Tribune says,
has been nominated by the people,
and will be elected by the people.
For quarter of a century no other
candidate has been more clearly
preferred by the voters. Patronage
had no part in his nomination
Even in the hour of their defeat his
opponents did not attribute his sues
cess to any unworthy influence. By
them it was admitted, as it must be
admitted by all, the people desired
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine. The
National Convention wisely prefer
red him to any other Representa-,
tive Of his ideas. Having deliber-
ately adopted these ideas in its plate
form, the convention wisely select
ed Mr.. Blaine himself to represent
them.

SENTIMENT CONCERNING
GEN. GRANT. JEN
Washington World

"Kick against Grant. That is the
sentiment Of most Of the boys in this
| part of the West, writes an old sell
dier from Nebraska and in the
Campfire this week anetherold SOL
dier, from Missouria, talks somewhat
bitterly in the same train.
We are well enough aware that
the private soldiers don't generally
worship Gen. Grant, and never did.
They never had any such feeling
for him as they had for "Old Pap
Thomas, Uncle Billy Sherman"
"Little PHIL "Fighting Joe," cold
Rosy" or any one of the many oth~
er Union Generals. So far as we
now remember, nearly all of the
great commanders in the worlds
history hayes.been at least to some
extent idolized by their soldiers, and
have been glad to encourage an in
crease this feeling but Gen. Grant
is marked exception. Who ever
heard of any kindly nickname given
him by the old soldiers ? Who ever
heard any story Of his kindly deeds
or words for any private soldier
Who ever knew or read of anything
that ever tended to shsw that he
thought any more of private SOL
dier than he did of a Government
mule or a caisson or any other i'm
plement of war? -
Gen. Grant was educated at West
Point, and seems to have imbibed
to the fullest extent the aristocratic
Ideas there inculcated, Other Gen
erals, educated there also, either
never absorbed such ideas or else
outgrew them-that is to say, some
OF them did-but no man who was
a volunteer private soldier and who
has the true American pride of
American manhood, and who dur.
ing the war had opportunities to
learn the general manner of West
Point officers as a rule toward pri>
Vate soldiers, can ever forget it.
Nevertheless we shan't 'lkick
against Grant" at all. We don't in
the least eXult in his nisfortunes,
but rather feel sympathy for him,
though not in the same way that we
might in other circumstances. If
there were a subscription paper cir
culaIed, for his benefit, among the
rich people whe are amply able to
contribute, we certainly should not
try to prevent their doing so if they
felt like it. E<
But when it is proposed to take
money by taxation from the pockets
OF the people, including the poor
private soldiers, and pour it into
Gen. Grants pocket, to the tune of
some $4,000 year, while at the
same time withholding moneys just
ly and honestly due in small sums
to those same private soldiers and
to the widows and orphans of our
dead comrades, that proposition we
will oppose so long as opposition is
possible. s' ".... .

ty to-day because, as the senator frem
Maine, their exponent in this de-

600 in paying officers when they

to>day is flooded with naval officers
who have not ship to go to, and
have not had for twenty wears.
The whole service is composed of
barnacles--gallant mon, brave men,
SCARED marine veterans, but what
use are they to the country? They
are marine ornaments around the
corners at Washington, all that is
the fault of the Republican party.
Since 1866, with profound peace,
you have spent s385,OOO,000, and
when arraigned for it, and when
asked where is the navy, you reply,
'We have paid off sailors and of

TIE TIMES.
Gen. Logan fits well in some re-
spects with Mr.. Blaine. 1t is true
that he is a far better man that is,
his personal reputation is free from
the stains that cling to that Of Mr..
Blame, and that he has an independ-
ent conscience to which, within the
limits of its action, he is faithful.
Had some of the scoundrels who
have had intimate relations with
Blaine undertaken to form them
with Gen. Logan, they would doubts
les have been kicked down stairs.
But Gen. Logan nevertheless is by
his associations and much of his cons
duct fairly Representative Of the
same reckless and thick skinned
kind Of politics as that embodied in
the head of the ticket Had he
been the head himself it would in
reality have been stronger than it
is, while in his subordinate position
his good qualities do not redeem it
and his bad ones only emphasize those
Of his companion The combination
stands for everything which the
party must get rid of in
order to be Of any use to the country.

philadelphia Times, Ia -..rra
Henry Ward, whs lived at the cor

yesterday sfternsOn. For sems months
past he had had in his possession large
hog, which was, during the daytime.lal-
lowed to run in the back yard. During
the night it was kept up in a pan in the
northeastern corner of the yard Some
days ago tho. hog developed an ugly dis
position and protested by vicious gruAts
it's aversion to confinement. Several
times it turned on its owner while be-
ing driven to its pen and had to be sub
dueS with q club Yesterday the ami
NAL became unusually vicious and at
tackled every one who came near, A
dog that was set en- the brute in the
hope that he would drive it to the pen
was routed aud narrowly escaped death
by sealiaga q five-foet picket fence. MIR.
w ard returned home at two O'Clock and
undertook to drive the hog into its pen.
The beast trotted sullenly ahead until
within few feet of the gate, when it
turned and, with a vicious snort, charg
ed on his owner. The man tiicd to
beat it off with stick, but was over-'
powered in an instant. The hog reared
itself on its bind feet and, throwing its
weight against the man, bore. him to
earth. 1t then srrang on him with its
front hoofs drawing closely together,
and before the prSstrate man could re-
cover his footing the hog had made a
ghas;ly wound ia his abdoHen with bis
teeth. The wounded man was sSon res

death before medical assistance arrived.

THE WORLD.

" CNN1@A'
The nomination of Blaine and
Logan is clearly the result of a
shameless political bargain, and
represents the triumph of the mer-
cenaries and worst elements of the
Republican party The vote of Lo-
gan decided Blaine's nomination.
The vote of Blaine nominated Logan
in return. In presenting this ex-
traordinary combination of corrup-
ton and demagogism the RepubIi-
can Convention acted with unusual
audacity and honesty. Audacity,
because if there is anything the re-
public sadly needs and the public
conscience demands, it is reform in
high places and publication of the
Government. Honesty, because Re-
publican candidates have generally
worn masks of hypocrisy, and in
nominating Mr.. Blaine the mercen-
aries have for the first time thrown
away all masks and fiagrantly de-
fed all claims to principles or re-
form and put up an out and out tick
ct for spells only. In thus present
ing the distinct Issue of,perpetuat-
ing Republican machine rule and
corruption for tho sole benefit ofthe
hungry spoi smen who, have been
kept out by Arthur the convention
is entitled to some credit. 1t might
have nominated some obscure nen-
entity like Hayes and continued the
false pretense of patronisnr piety
and reform masquerade. As it is,
no one outside of a lnnatic asylum
viii claim Blaine or Logan to be
civil service reformers, or anything
else except grand marshals of the
machine Five months will elapse
before the election, and in that time
much will be done to smooth the ex-
lsting asperities. 1t must be borne
in mind that the Republican party
twice elected Grant, counted in
Hayes by frand and elected Garfield,
and however bad Mr.. Blaine's repu-
tation actually is bis character is
| really better than that of either

TIE SIN.

The Republican National Conven-
ton nominated Mr.. Blain for Presi-
dent yesterday on the fourth ballot.
Refusing to adopt any less eonspie-
uous and less Objectionable person,
turning out Of doors all the dark
horses and petty schemes, the con-
ventiOn gave itself and committed
the waning fortunes of the party
to the only conspicuous leader now
remaining who figured in the his
tory Of its earlier, its better, and,
alas, also Of its latter or worse DAYS.
A great many Republicans are ops
posed to Mr. Blaine. Some of them
would reject him on account of the
stains upon his public career as ex-
emplified in the transactions of the
Mulligan letters. But there are
others, and their objections are of
greater pertinency and effect in the
present condition ofour affairs, who
repudiate him on account of his
crazy notions and quixotie action
when he was Secretay Of State.

THE HERALD.

These names satisfy what is deem-
ed one of the obvious requirements
of a Presidential ticket. They bal
ance the two sides of the country
and avert the possible danger of
having it tipped up by putting all
the weight on one side. Apart from
that there is not much to be said
about, it except, to congratulate
Mr. Lincoln, whose name has been
SO freely used for second place on so
many speculative tickets, that he
has escaped the danger of going be-
fore the country in very bad CONS
pany. No doubt this nomination is
the consummation of the bargain by
which the Logan yetes went to
Blaine. Perhaps it is expected that
Logan will bind the fidelity of the
Grant clement to the ticket. But
the stalwarts, who have been such
astonishing Blaine men in this can
vass, are not to be caught in that
way. They have fought for Blaine
only to be revenged upon Arthur.
Arthur is beaten, and their revengs
is complete. But they do not love
Blaine any more than ever, and
having utilized his case for all it
was worth to them, they will drop
it. Logan will not hold them.

MINING MATTERS.
shipping Copper Ores.

Although Great Britain is the great copper
market of the world she is by TO means great
copper producer from her own resources. The
mines Of that country formerly produced much
more than at present, but their product has
steadily declined under the heavy receipt Of
ores, furnace products. precipitate and bars
from other countries. She now produces about
$1,000 tons Of ore . year, yielding between
5000 and 1000 tons Of copper, mainly from
Cornwall. The influence Of Great Britain as
the leading copper market OF tie world is due
TO the enormous quantities OF crude metal,
furnace products and ores II handles, which
60 there from all over the world. The great
metallurgical, chemical and manufacturing IN
dustries place II in position TO work black
copper, rcgulus, MATES, and ores for fine met
ais, snd re-distribute a large portion of II in
the shape OF manufactured copper, cheaper
than the countries IN which the raw material
originates and to which part of II returns.
The material which comes there from Chilli
Canada, Australia and Cape OF Coed Hope is
chiefly regulus. The ore, are shipped from
many quartcrs-ItaIy, Venezueis, Chill. Bo-

Venezuela supply medium grade. II Is

high grade Of their ores much longer. Cuba no
longer ships any, snd Australia srnclts at home
