A Texas Girl Kills n Monster snake.

Dallas News.
Miss Jennie Lemon, daughter of Mr.. j.
j. Lemon, living four miles below the city,
had an encounter with huge rattlesnake
on Wednesday last which resulted in the
monsters death and capture. He was
brought to the city yesterday, and upon
measurement was found to be feet and
inches in length and IL inches in circumfer-
ence at the largest portion of its body. 1t
seems that the young lady, who is only Is
years of age. was sitting with some friends
OIL her fathers portico steps when the
snake slowly passed by with erect crest and
vibrating tongue. The other maidens, un-
like those attending Miss Pharoah when
Moses was discovered. fled the field; but
Miss Jennie, mindful of her Texas nativity,
''went for a hickory club and the ''sar-
pent" at the same time, tucking her skirts
in genuine AmaZonian style and attacking
by echelon. In spite of his repeated efforts
to fasten his fangs i'll the brave girl she got
away with him on the forty-ninth ballot and
left the field with the Shiny varmint drag
ging behind her triumphant car. His
snakeship was the proprietor of sixteen
rattleS which makes him nineteen years
of age-a regular octoganaran in the rep
tile kingdom.

The Presidents Poor Relations.

Eli Perkins Letter in the Inter-Ocean.
The president has many relations, but he
never takes them with him. His brother,
William. most genial and accomplished
clergyman. is now toiling for a feeble
church. north of Utica. at $500 a year.
His wife. handsome woman and charm
ing vocalist. leads the choir. He. like
MANY Of his relations, was not invited to
his brothers wedding. When William saw
his brother pay DR.. Sunderland S10O for
marrying him, he thought of his little
salary and his boys struggling for an edu-
cation and it quite broke his heart The
president has had many chances to help his
poor and deserving relations, but his heart
has been turned against them since his
election to the presidency. He even pre-
vented his brother William from accepting
a pastorShip of Washington church at a
salary five times as high as his present
salary. He opposed his brother-in-Iaw, N.
G. Bacon, when the citizens selected that
accomplished gentleman for the superin-
tendency of the Toledo custom house.

BRADsTREET's reports worse condition of
business and industry this week than last,
growing out of the increased number of
strikes and strikers. There is great unrest
and uneasiness all over the country to know
what the result of the proposed eight-hour
movement will be- The indications are by no
means favorable. Starting out well enough,
the movement has drifted into the hands of
schemers and demagogues and tits sure to add
to the existing evils of the situation. AS one
of the engineers of the movement is forced to
express himself, "things seem to be drifting
into chaos" It seems as though blindness
had struck the great body of organized
workingmen, so insanely have they con-
tributed to kill out every possible indication
of improvement in trade and industry.

States Senate, had been plotting the dismem-
berment of the Union. But the conspiracy
reached even nearer the executive, and the
various members of the cabinet were en-
gagged in the business of stripping the North,
so as to render the rebellion a success. The
men now boasting of Southern yalor were
afraid to go into the war until the country
had been handicapped. A conspiring Sec
rotary of the navy caused the vessels Of the
United States to be sent to the uttermost
parts of the earth, for the purpose of making
the subsection of the Union easier. A con-
spring secretary of the treasury had stolen
all the available money on hands,
and the conspiring secretary of war
had stripped the arsenals of the North toequip
the contemplated armies Of the South long
before there was any indication that the North
expected to interfere with the infamous
schemes of the rebellious cabal. These things
are matters of history, and these very honor
able gentlemen cannot escape the damning
fact that, owing to their disloyal perfdy, hun
dreds Of thousands of the best and bravest
men, North and South, were set TO slaughter
ing each other, the former periodically en-
deavoring to perpetuate the Union, and the
latter, under the direction of interested slave
holders, goaded to insane madness in the hope
of perpetuating human slavery and setting up
government for these aristocratic conspira-
tors, who should have been hanged by the
South for the disasters they deliberately
brought upon her. The history made at
Montgomery Ala, was made in 1861, when
the conspirators set up the rebellion, and not
in 1886, when they attempted to make it APP
pear that their crimes were virtues to be per-
petuated and transmitted to their posterity.

The love of his own children cannot deliver
him from it, and were roses to be scattered all
along his way to the judgment bar, it would
not alter the fact that it was he who volun
tarily assisted in inaugurating civil war for
the perpetuation of human slavery. The
gentlemen gathered at Montgomery would
like to whitewash their souls, but they will
never be able to change the record written
from the hour they doggedly set out to tear
in sunder the Union of the fathers. The
North has dealt with them with marvel
Gus leniency. History will not be so mag
unanimous.

cites his fellows to the commission of acts
that cannot be justified, and that in the end
will result in harm to the masses. If every
Capitalist" in this country had his throat cut
to-day, the question of what to do with CAPT
talists would Immediately come up again. 1t
is the duty Of every honest man to deal hon.
estly with all the people, and to advocate that
which he believes to be for the best Free
speech is one of the surest guarantees of sta
bility in this government of ours. 1t can not
be stiAed nor ignored without gravest harm
If it has come to pass that organized labor
win no longer listen to any men but such as
are intent on fattering it for purpose, or
through biased view of the labor question;
if, as in the days of 1860 and 1861, the day Of
argument is passed, and the Knights of Labor
win not listen to any but their champions
there is nothing to do but to let the tide have
its way until such time as reason shall reassert
herself. But this much is plain now, as it
pendence was written, and, according to it.,
ever since man was born, that all men are
created equal, and each has a like right to
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness.
When the Knights of Labor, or any other or
ganization, presume to dictate to those who
do not belong to that organization, they are
presuming to do something that cannot be
perpetuated in this country, unless it is to be
admitted that this right shall be delegated to
some such organization. It may be
chat the Knights can muster power
sufficient to compel recognition Of such
fright" on their part. But even if they
should, it would not be year before the
Knights themselves would be in rebellion
against such tyranny. The principle is so
hostile to every sense of manly independence
and right that it cannot be maintained. Ii

this point, for it cannot be sustained, and no
real friend of the workingman will be dishon-
est enough to advocate it. 1t should be
abandoned at once, and better ground taken.
The Knights of Labor can do themselves and
the country very much good, or they can do
more harm than the entire country can repair
in years. If they are determined to blindly
push forward to the accomplishment of scne-
thing that they cannot perpetuate, and will not
listen to reason, nor attempt to repress those
among them that are hot-headed and deter
mined on violence, there is nothing to do but
to let it come to an issue. But there can be
no other result than that the right OF the in
dividual must be respected and maintained.

THE Montgomery Advertiser says of jeff
Davis, that "to-day no man in the South is
more hopeful of the future, more earnest in
his wish to see his people happy and prosper
Gus in the way. the god of destiny has willed

citizen Of the United States, and as the con-
federacy is commonly supposed to have gone
TO pieces some years ago. the question natur-
ally arises as to who ''his people" are. At
the same time it is gratifying TO know that
Mr.. Davis is in the enjoyment of SO progress
sive and pious state of mind.

avoid falling into the hands Of visionary and
incendiary men, and being associated with
them in the public mind, it was proper and
advisable for him to refuse to be present; but

Danger is imminent when treason is glorifed
and traitors are dei6ed The war of the re-
bellion was brought about by heartless and
self-seeking politicians like jeff Davis. These
men ''pulldozed" the Southern people into it.
The rebel Brigadier Gordon says that the
total number Of rebel soldiers enlisted
during the war was about 100000
or that the Southern States furnished
to the Union army 360,0 900 men. These fig
ures, if true, damn jeff Davis and his traitor
crew to everlasting infamy If, as Gordon
says, the South furnished nearly one-half as
many men to the Union army as it did to the
rebel army, it is self-evident that the Southern
people did not favor the war, and that their
hearts were not in it. Fully one-half of the
rebel army were conscripts. The Jeff Davis
government robbed the cradle and the grave.
The cruelty of Dayis's CONSUMPTION methods
was only equaled by his cruelty to Union
prisoners. The Southern people were mis-
led and driven into a causeless and
wicked rebellion. The blood Of the slaugh-
tered on both sides is upon Jeff Davis
and few of the political schemers who con
spired with him. Instead of worshiping Jeff
Davis the South should hold him responsible
for the war and all its evils. The next time
he speaks, let some honest Southerner ask him
the cause Of the war, and demand of him
what wrongs were suffered by the South. Da-
Wis is not the stuff heroes are made Of His
escapades in petticoats and sleeping-cars are
not the characteristics of hero.
