TIE Democrats have never been
specially friendly to the civil service
act and now they are active in OPP
position to it. The cardinal doctrine of
Democrats is that the victors should have
the spoils. Some members of the party
are persuaded that their side will win in
the next presidential election; hence this
movement. The civil service law would
prevent, in degree at least, the ousting
of Republican oflicc-holdcrs, which of all
things the Democrat wishes to do when
he has the chance. Mr.. Halsell. Repre-
sentative from Kentucky, has introduced
Il bill repeating the law.

TWO PAPERS for the PRICE of ONE

GOOD CHEER, is a handsomely printed
~ monthly model family paper of l6 pages. IL
is full of bright things, suited to the tastes of old
and young: not sensational, but interesting and
instructive. 1t is carefully edited, and has
among its contributors some of the best writers
of the country
Those of our subscribers who pay arrearages
to the time OF making their remittance and for
one year in advance will receive Good Cheer
free. 1t will also be given Tree to new subscrib.
ers who pay years subscription in advance;
TIL further notice payment of arrcarages and
for our paper till January |, 1855, will be neces.
sarv to secure Good Cheer.
We shall send statements of account to all
whom our books show to he in arrears months
or over. Those owing us for year or more can
have the paper Tor that year and the one follow
ing that for which they are indebted to us, on
payment OF SO. In cases where the year has eX-
pired and the sub scriber does not renew, ~ Will
be charged; in accordance with our standing an.

pers OF those who are IN arrears for 4 year or
more will be stopped and collections made at the
rate of ~ Il year.
We are cndeavoring to print a paper which

the people of the county Will be willing to sup
port our experience the past year leads us to
believe that our efforts are appreciated and we
hope to improve upon what has been done. But,
in order to better the paper, we must have mon
ey; hence the above requests. 1t has been the
custom To allow subscriptions to run for . term
of years This we believe to be bad policy for
all concerned. The subscriber must some time
or other meet a large bill, while tn publisher Is
put to great IT. luble tD pay the expenses of fur
nishng the paper. The amount in each case Is
SMALL but the aggregate is large. Now, we wish,
if possible, to avoid these evils of the long credit
system. II would be still better, perhaps, if we
adopted the plan OF stopping papers at the end
of the time paid for. This, however, might cause
inconvenience to some; hut 1t seems to us that
all who wish the paper Will agree with lis that
their subscriptions should he paid before the

Bitten by a Cobra.


Among many instances Of snake-bto
poisoning | have seen was n strong
young Brahmn Of twenty, wel-known
to me, who had been bitten during the
night while watching his maize crop.
Ete | knew OF it they had brought him
into my compound in front of tho
bungalow. AS yet he walked quito
steadily, only leaning slightly on the
arm Of another man. There was that
peculiar drowsy look in his eyes, how
ever, rs from strong narcotic, which
indicated his having been bitten some
time, and left but little room for hope
now. He could still clearly tell me
particulars. He had been bitten, he
said, on putting his foot to the ground,
while moving off his charpoy in the
dark, but, thinking the bite was that of
non-poisonous snake, had given no
more heed to the matter, had gone to
sleep again, till he was awoke by his
friends coming in search of him. With
some difficulty | was able to find the
bite-very faint, no larger than the
prick of q pin, but still the unmistakable
double mark of the poison-fangs. He
felt the poison, he said, gradually as
cending the limb, and pointed to part
just above the knee, where he felt it
had already reached, the limb below
that being, he said, benumbed, and
painless TO the touch, like the loot when
"asleep." l gave him the usual reme-
dies, and kept him walking to and fro,
but gradually his limbs seemed TO be
losing their power of voluntary mo-
ton, and his head was beginning to
droop from the oYerpowering drowsi-
ness that was surely gathering over
him. AT intervals he pointed out the
poison line steadily rising higher, and
was still able to answer questions clear
ly on being reused. AT length it seemed
to be of no use torturing him further
by keeping him moving about, and he
was allowed to remain at rest, Shortly
after this, while being supported in a
sitting posture, all at once, without
any premonitory sign, he gave one or
two long sighs, and life ceased, about
an hour after he had himself walked
into the compound. There was some
thing terribly real in this faculty u
pointing out each stage Of the ascend
ing poison (as the snake-bitten patient
always cam that was gradually bring
ing him nearer and nearer to death,
with the prospect of only another houF
or half-hour Of life remaining to him,
and yet the patient does not seem to
realize this with the keenness that an
on locker does, probably from the
poison benumbing at the same time
tbs powers of the mind as we'll as Of
the body. Al the Year Round,
