OF its corporation. Next to jamestown, Va,
1t is the oldest settlement in the original
thirteen colonies. OF jamestown scarcely a
trace remains, and Albany, which was WIS.,
tied by Henry Hudson in 1909 and made the
site OF a fort in 1914, is the oldest inhabited
town OF the English settlements. Its posi-
tion al the head OF navigation on the Hudson
river, directly in the line of the great high
way between New York and Canada, made
1t an important point both for commercial
and military purposes at an early period of
colonial history. During the wars between
the English and French tor the possession OF
America, it was the depot of supplies where
the military expeditions for Canada were
lifted out, and although frequently
threatened by hostile forces, was never
actually attacked. 1t was at Albany
that the hrst convention for the union of the
colonies was held in l75i, and many other
historical associations impart additional in

The lieneral.

General Butler after long silence, has
again been seized upon for reporters
column. He is in Philadelphia trying a
suit against the military academy at
Chester for permitting student to be in
Jured by cannon explosion. The general
has been one of the sights of the town
during his visit and doubtless enjoys
much the curiosity he excited. He
declares that he has for ever abandoned the
field of politics and proposes to end his days
in the practice of the law, content with the
dollars he can pick up to keep the wolf
from the door, while he preserves his es-
tate intact for his children, to whom it be-
longs which is novel idea to begin with.
The general does not take a happy .view
OF The country. He thinks there is another
war about due, as we have one every gene
ration. He considers that the Democratic
administration does not :" size up'' TO the
situation. He believes that the Southern
states run the country too much and that
trouble will come of it. He declares that
the railroads of the country are mortgaged
Tor as much as it cost to build them, and
there needs to be scaling down of values
10 restore prosperity. He is not ready
with any definite plan to reform
The labor and other troubles of the
country, but leaves them much To
time and to Providence; which is
wise In the general and almost persuades
US to regret that he has resolved to be in
future spectator of the evolution of
.nings political, and not an actor in them.

Why we Differ.

Governor Pattison, Secretary of State
Stenger, Col. Mcclure, VIM. NJ. Singerly.
and other conspicuous citizens of the COM
monwealth, mostly Republicans, have
petitioned the president to reappoint
George Eyster, Republican, ass stant
treasurer of the United States, in Phila-
delphia, when his term will expire in July
next.
These gentlemen say that in their judg-
ment the public interest would not I've
promoted and might BE- seriously endangered
by any ctdnge which would remove Mr..
Eyster from his office"
We think they over-state the case. Mr..
Eyster was appointed as a Republican and
at the time of his appointment no Demo-
crat was considered eligible to the office.
He has no doubt been no more and no less
faithful than hundreds of others appointed
with him and like him; and he is 10 more
competent, and no more faithful than
scores of fit and honest men of the presi-
dents own party, who may be named to
sue ceed him.
He has been generously retained To the
end of his term; to not reappoint him is
not to remove him; and to say that no
change in his office can be made which
might not :" seriously endanger the pub
lie interest is tn think meanly and speak
meanly of the Democratic rarty of Penn
sylvania. We are not prepared to do
either. We think that in the choice of an
assistant treasurer for Phila ielphia the
president should not be confined to one
name and one man. If he can find q Demo.
crat as fit as Mr.. Eyster or filter, as we be.
leye he can, he should be free to choose
him.

The Devil Described by the CHAPLAIN Of the

The Rev. DR.. Millburn, the blind chaplain

The Maine Snake story.

LEWISTON, Me-, May II. 1886 A short
time ago the strange story of a snake being
pulled out Of the mouth of boy who lived
near Grand Falls in Aroostook county, was
telegraphed the Herald. Since then the case,
which is believed to be unparalleled, has at
tracted the attention of physicians. and the
story is fully confirmed. The boys name
was George Murichson. Among those &C.
quainted with the circumstances is lady 10
this city, who SAYS that George was about 8
years old. Early last winter he acted strange.
y sick, He had most voracious appetite,
and it was impossible for him to get enough
to eat. His friends became alarmed. and
set for physicians. The case was puzzling
one One day he felt something craw ling
from his stomach and into his throat, and he
almost choked to death, for the crawling
creature tried to come out of his nose. In a
short time the snake (for such it was) forced
its way through the boys throat, and stuck
its he ad out of its mouth. The lads sister,
who was near by, grabbed at the snake and
pulled it out. The snake was IA inches long,
with piece Of flesh attached to its tail as
large as hens egg. The boy lived but a
short time. 1t is supposed that the snake
crawled down the boys throat when he was

The gentlemen who now seek to attack Mr..
Bodweil because of his lack of literary cul-
ture know as little of the history OF their
State and country as they know of the gener
Gus and noble instincts of mankind. They
need to be informed that one of the most
eminent men who ever sat in the gubernato-
rial chair of Maine was attacked because Of
his alleged illiteracy, while one of the most
popular and powerful Presidents who was
ever elected in the United States encountered
every form of ridicule because it was said he
could not write his own messages TO Congress
and could not even spell correctly. Those
now assaulting Mr.. Bodwell because OF as
sumed defects of the same character would do
well to visit Washington and look upon the
marble form Of William King standing
proudly under the dome Of the Capitol. and
then go TO the White House and from Its
northern portico gaze upon the equestrian
statue of Andrew Jackson, in the finest square
Of the Federal City.

The strike to establish the eight hour
day in Chicago. and the attending riots
are probably over. In few instances the
workngmen have gained their point. but
the great majority of the $4,000 men who
struck in that city have had to resume
work on the old terms if they are success
full in returning at all. The cost to them
of one weeks idleness. measured in dol
lars and cents, cannot be less than $780,
900, and the damage done TO business and
the check given to returning prosperity,
much of which will have to be paid by the
strikers, must ultimately swell the total
loss to larger figures. The other results
of the weeks events are five policemen
and eight workingmen killed. with the
probability that three or four more may
be added to the list, and at least eight
policemen and workingmen wounded,
some of whom will be manned for life.

Some Democrats are foolish enough to
