The Republicans of the House have very
wisely concluded to follow the advice of the
NATIoNM. REPUBLICAN given a week ago
and not be seduced into pulling Mr.. Mills's
chcstnuts out of the fire. They have de-
tcImncd to reject the proposal to take up
the Mills bill and vote upon it as whole
without considering it by sections This
was the proper thing TO do. Let Mr.. Mills
ind out how his Democratic associates want
his bill amended and see If he can secure a
majority for II in the house of its friends.

The tccgraphic reports show that Rev.
John p. Newman, in the Methodist Epis.
copal conference now being held in New
York, stands an excellent chance of being
chosen bishop, as he gains on each ballot.
Dr, Newman is decidedly the most eloquent
preacher in the Methodist Church, and is
justly entitled to this proposed recognition
Of his ability, services, and popularity.
Bishop Newman would sound well and

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN! For the
past two or three weeks have found a
growing sentiment among the leading Re
publicans for the above named gentlemen
for President and Vice President Of the Re-
publican party, aud, in my opinion, no
stronger ticket could be nominated. ! have
made close study of the feeling among the
leading Republicans of the party in behalf
Of Senator Cullom and have yet to find a
single objection raised against him. ln-
deed, all those who have other preferences
for first choice name the senator as their
second Ex-senator Warner Miller would
add great strength to the ticket. With such
u ticket we could sweep every northern
state and carry one or more os the southern.
Cullom and Miller would unite all factions
and make victory certain. REPUBLICAN.

Miss Marion Manolo was indisposed last
night and her place in the cast of "The Black
Hussar" was taken by Miss Josephine Knapp
II is always trying on one to take Il leading
role on short notice, but it can be truly said
that in this instance Miss Knapp was entirely
successful. 1t is the first time the people of
Washington have had an opportunity to see
what creditable work this young lady can do
The audience was greatly pleased last night,
Miss Knapp and Mr.. Wilke were given a recall
for their duet in the second act, and Miss
Knapp was given u hearty recall for her solo
in the same act. She was thus estab'
lished warm favorite. Her voice is

charms is in her bright, piquant, and dainty

with her audience; the charm of her stage
presence is quite irresistible.

Battle Between Horse and a Rather.

Hiram Blake, Il farmer residing in the
southern part of Blount county, was in the
city yesterday, and related thrilling story
of battle to the death between horse
and a huge rattlesnake. The horse be-
longed to one of Mr.. Blake's neighbors.
and was loose in pasture through which
ran small stream of water Along the
banks of this stream there was dense un-
dergrowth Of small bushes, interspersed
with patches of rank grass. The horse
was feeding on this grass, and, getting
near thick clump of bushes, was struck
about the nose by an immense rattlesnake.
The horse threw his head up and wheeled
suddenly around. The fangs of the snake
were so firmly imbedded in the animals
flesh that several vigorous shakes were re-
quired to shake it off, The snake fell in
an open space, and the horse, instead of
running away, plunged at the reptile with
his forefeet. Failing to strike the snake
the first time, the horse was again severely
bitten on the leg. Another plunge or two,
ard finally the iron-shod hoofs crushed the
head of the snake after the horse had been
bitten third time The horse died in a
few hours from the effects of the bites.
The snake was the largest ever seen in that
section of the State 1t measured nearly
ten feet in length and had seventeen rat
tles.-Bi'mingham (Ala.) Age.
