New York City promises political
conflictions. There are thousands
more voters registered than ever
before, and it is feared the voting
hours will not be long enough to
poll ali the voters. Besides, the last
day of legal registration fell on Sat,
urday, which is a halliday holiday
in the city, and the question arises
whether such registration will be
held as legal title to vote. There
Will be trouble over the New York
election, and if Cleveland is elected
there is where it will be done.

1For THE HERALD,

VA L IL
So many reports have been current
of late about men being sent for and
offers made; but the sending for an
honest and respectable man like Mr..
Rimel, and trying to stir up enmity
for political gain, is low work indeed
for big men. 1t should be condemn
ed by everybody. 1t is unchristian.
Men have been sent to the peniten-
tiary for less sins than are openly
committed by the great against order,
law, and morality. Let every man
with a spark of honesty and manhood
resent this sending for men. Be indie
pendent. Tell the big political guns
to come themselves if they want any
thing, for after the election they will
not notice, much less assist, a common
man. They have no use for you after
their victory is won, neither do they
care by what unscrupulous means
they succeed. Rebuke them by your
ballots, show the people that they do
notrepresent what they claim by title
and appearance. LABOR.

lowing extract, which may prove interesting

across a very Doggy marsh, where there was
good deal of water, and was stumbling along,
not with my former agility, when I came near
stepping on a snake in COLL what is called q
cotton mouth moccasson,' whose bite is not
fatal, but somewhat poisonous. There being no
stick at hand to kill him, I stepped back and
shot him, cutting him not quite, but nearly in
two, and exposing his innards, as the negroes
say My man Cesar exclaimed 'Massa, he got
another snake in him = and so he had-one
nearly as long as himself pulled the swal-
lowed snake out, and held him by che tail along
side the other. The swallower was about 80
inches long aud very thick, and the swallowed
II inches shorter, only that the latter's head
and neck were doubled, so as to be forced into
the other. Did You ever know of one snake
eating another9 They say that dog will not
