A MENAGERIE IN HIS SToMACH.-Dr.
Rowles, of the Marine Hospital, Chicago,
tells OF q singular occurrence in connection
with an operation recently performed Al! the
hospital. Some time ago sailor applied
for admission. He was tall, lank, and ca.
daverous, and was suffering from an almost
perpetual pain in the stomach. Attimcs he
would be seizsd with rrightful convulsions
and nothing seemed to aliay his sutlerings
but food. He had rayenous appetite, and
could cat hearty meal = dozen tiiaes Il
day The doctors, after a long course of
treatment, succeeded in taking from the man
tape worm and also n snake thirteen inches
long resembling monstrous angle worm.
The physicians were somew that ustonislled
at finding so strange resident as the snake
in the mans stomach, but they were quite
dumbfoundel by the startling phenomenon
that presented itself soon after. While ex-
amining the reptile, the physicians found
that it vas actually giving birth to another
claimant for the vast Quantity OF food Go
voured by the unfortunate Jack tar. They
could account for the presence of the snake
in the mans stomach, but that Il reptile.
which when quite small had found its way
there, should increase TO its present size,
and also have young was Il problem which
they were unable to solve. The tape-worni
together with the snake and lis progeny,
were carefully placed in a bottle, and are
now on exhibition at The dispensing depart
ment in the Custom house.

Malone.


GENERAL. MAHoNEs candidate for Gov
ernor. when a member Of Congress, was no
satisfied with what ;he Northern men and
the OK Union soldiers in that body were DO
inc for the federal soldiers in the civil war,
in the way Of pensions, but wanted TO 60
farther, and pension every man who he'd en-
listed on the federal side during that
war. Now, no right thinking man objects
to pensioning the fedora! soldiers VINO were
invalided by the war, or who by any other
reason have been reduced to want; out the
motives of Southern man become suspl'
cious when he goes way beyond the men OF
the North in his desire to tension the men
he fought against. Besides, the South is
taxed enough, in all conscience, to pension
the hundreds Of thousands of men already
on the rolls Of the Pension Office, without
having those thousands Increased to millions
by adding to them the name of every man
who enlisted in the Union army during the
war. But what ere taxes ia man VINO de-
clared that he "lida't care damn whether
every cent Of Inc States DEBT was paid or
repudiaed"?

made up ofthat old defuuct party" Well,

Clerical Scandal.

VIENNA, Aug. 29.-The people of Polski
in Austro.H Hungarian Crotia are bus with
clerical scandal. The Bishop of that do.
cese felt himself compelled to call on one OF
his priests, who was candidate for c!cc.
ton to public office, and rebuke him for
overstepping the boundary of clerical pro.
priety. The priest resented this as AN un-
necessary interference with his personal
rights and quarrel resulted. The priest
became frenzed, put the bishop out OF The
parsonage, chased him through the streets
to his residence and there fell upon him AID
gave him an unmerc(ul beating.

LETTER FROM MILLBoRo SPRINGS.

Correspondence OF the Alexandria GAzErrEl
MILLEoRo SPRINGS, Bath county, August
27.--To the tourist or health-seeker the
question is where 10 go to see the most,
enjoy the greatest advantages and expe-
rienco the most pleasure or benefit for the
least money and in the shortest time; and
while this place does not pretend to be a
particularly gay resort, it is certainly very
quiet, pleasant place, and furnishes as good
accommodations in every respect as could
be reasonably expected for The moderate
charges The advantages to sportsmeu
found here are unsurpassed in the Virginia
mountains. The Cow Pasture river one
mile distant, furnishes an abundance of
black bass, pike and other kinds Of fish to
the expert angler, and some very fine ones,
indeed, have been captured recently. The
mountains around us abound with deer and,
some say, with wolves and wild cats, and
bears are also to be found. Breech-load-
ers and angling rods are the principal
adlunc!s OF the visitor here, and he can find
Use for both if he is so disposed The visit
ors here arc principally from Richmond.
The crops arc looking but moderately
well. This section is suffering from the of.
fects of q partial drought, as we'll as other
portions of the State.
This county isavery close one politically nd
from the notices posted for republican meet
ings, We think Mr.. Barbour had better see
to it that plenty of democratic speeches are
made here. There seems to be but little
doubt that the democrats will carry the
county, but little energy bestowed here
will not be amss.

hard times. ''SCRIpToR."

SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST %.

JrwAs stated in the GAZETTE's Wasnlns-
ton correspondence a day or two ago tha'
a Virginia republican, then in "asnihg.o,'
had said that Malone was put to no littie
trouble respecting his candidates Tor Inc
Legislature, as he had to run negroes III 'n0
black belt in order to retain the negro 'o'e'
and that in the other portions OF the state IL
was difficult for him to induce republican
white men to accept his nomination. Ihat
tne republican referred to was rlght Is
proved by the more recent kicking Oh Inc
n.croes in the counties of New Kent ana
Charles City. They openly threatenedto go
over bodily to the democrats, because though
thew have q large majority OF the voters o.
the legislative district composed OF 'nose
two counties, the General has selected
white man for bis candidate there Tor Inc
House of Delegates. The General, IL VIII NC
ram hammered. said, lot long ago, that he didn't
have enough competent men ia his party 10
o,,f the counties to fill the offices there
of The General is evidently IN sore straits.
The old aud true republicans of the State
will have no more OF him, and with his negro
followers leaving him not sing!y but IN oa5'
