No SYMPHATuY PoR SNEAKs.-
Some of the Republican Federal
Office-holders are nos beginning
to intimate that II they are retaiH-
ed in their places they viii vote
the Democratic ticket this year
and become good Democrats.
These are the kind OF men whom
their Democratic superiOrs should
have no mercy for. They are un-
pTincipled sneaks, aud Democracy
has no use for them. Those who
fhrOE Out such hints ought to be
removed 1t once. We have moro
respect for = Republican ofice-bOl-

JALAPA.-At the feet of the
COfre de Perote is the beautiful
city of Jalapa, Justly called the
& arJen of the Republic, where bril-
liant birds sing their litanies aud
bright flowers wave increasingly
their perfnmed cencers. All the
exhuberance of the tropics sur
r0uud Jalapa. The forests of lem
ons, oranges aud mangOrs reach
out toward every pOint in the hori-
zon, aud the sIr is heavy With their
perfume. Graceful reeds rock in
the breath of winds which watt
lazily from the torrid coast. Under
the shadow OF plantains grow the
cOiIes plants. The tobacco leaves
surcharge the atmosphere with
their strong, peculiar scent, aud
recall the Legend of the discovery
of tobacco across the gulf in Yuca-
tan centuries ago. The vanilla
bean, with its precious extract aud
volatile oil, grow unteuded, its del
icste aroma lost in the overpOwer-
ing OdOrs from a thousand open
chaliccs OF fruit and flower.
The town Of Jalapa is four thou
saDd teet above sea-level, aud sew
enty miles from Vera Cruz. This
mountain is celebrated for the mag
nI6eence OF its scenery, the beauty
OF its women. aud the sweetness OF
lis flowers. IL has about ten thou
sand Inhabitants. The ebipiohipi,
or light drizzling rain, that often
Calls on Jalapa, is about the only
draw back 10 The tourist.

that she was considered as III subject

about eleven o'clock. At midnight
Mrs. Call arose and her husband, noticing
that she stared yacantly about the room,
asked her what the matter was. For an.
swer she made sudden aud savage at
tack upon him. Being very large WON
an aud much stronger than her husband,
she soon had him at her mercy. She
threw him upon the floor and seized hi.

then fastened her teeth In
his breast aud badly lacerated the flesh
Mr.. Calls face was scratched out OF all

blood was streaming from his wounds
The frantic woman was oycrpowered
and when she gaLed coninscdly at hcl

20 be led into an adjoining room.
Early this morning she had another
