A BLACKSNAKE CHARMS A CHILD.
ISt Louis Globe Democrat

A correspondent writes the Globe
Democrat that he was resident of st.
Louis County in 1869, living southwest
of the city on the Meramec River. He
had daughter three years of age, and
it was her habit to play around under
the trees, and frequently she would
take q cup of milk and bread and have
a little spread on the grass. The writer
says this continued until her mother
noticed that she called for cup of
milk about ten o'clock each day, going
to the yard, and, after drinking it,
falling asleep near the meadow fence,
Little was thought of this for several
days, until my wife, happening to go to
the yard, discovered the little one
asleep, with a large blacksnake coiled
beside her. Screaming with terror, she
ran to the child, and the snake disap-
peared in the tall medow grass. The
next day the child was not permitted to
go to the yard as usual, and grew very
fretful, and thinking to soothe her my
wife gave her the milk and accompani-
ed her to the spot, only to discover the
same monstrous reptile making toward
the babe, which, instead of evincing
terror, broke from its mother and ran
toward the snake, with every indica-
tion of delight. Utterly frozen to the
snot with an agony ofterror, nv wife
saw the child place the cup upon the
cround near the snakes head. and after
FEARING it's head in the air and Kissing at
NV wife. the reptile began to drink The
mill, from the cnn. Recovering control
of herself nv wife rushed forward and.
orasnino her daughter under her arm,

Very few Americans have learned how
little land is required for furnishing
food to human being a year, provided
that little is well cultivated, and the
crops well chosen. A woman in the
Hudson river valley, who cultivates
only six acres, supplies her family with
all that garden will yield, keeps cow
and horse and sells besides some $500 to
500 worth of fruit and garden truck
each year. 1t is needless to add that
she raises more than one crop in year,
and allows no waste places.

Can any one bring us a case Of kidney

will not speedily cure? We say they
can not, as thousands Of cases already
permanently cured and who are daily
Electric Bitters, will

cured. They purify the blood, regulate
the bowels, and act directly on the dis

improved" r. A. SANFORD, Kent, Ohio.

FOOLISH.

There is 3 good deal Of humbug in the cry
Of "Secsionalism.' solid South" and kin
bred expressions used so fippantly BY the
Republican press. There is very little Sec
tional luminosity outside of the Blaine
orCans and tew leading Republican bosses
and politicians. The "Solid South is
largely creature OF the imagination.
The figures of the last Presidential cleo
ton demonstrate that the Democracy have
no actual majority in several Southern
States, aud the plurality in five at least is
very small Take for instance the following
States:
Florida, with total vote OF 59,96l, gave
Cleveland plurality OF ) 81.
Maryland, with a total vote OF 1S5, 500, gave
Cleveland plurality of 1885.
Tennessee, with total ote Of 259 Al, gave
Cleveland plurality of : 092.
Virginia,swiih a total vote of 2S4,991, gave
Cleveland plurality of 6. OO3.
West Virginia, with totally of 132, 157,
gave Cleveland plurality Of 2.477.
Blaine's plurality is alike trifing in sew
eral Northern States. Here are the figures
from seven of than:
Illinois, with total vote of 672 Cos, gave
Blaine plurality OF , 269.
Michigan, with total vote of 406, 223, gave
Blaine plurality OF sos.
Wisconsin, with total vote 3l9 $50, gave
Blaine plurality OF > III.
Oregon, with total vote of ., 732, gave
Blaine plurality of SIS.
n the great State of New York, Mr.. CIeve-
land received only plurality of Ca in a
total vote Of LII, 263. The great mass oil
