If THE statement were not officially made,
it would seem to be gross exaggeration
that % ,907 persons and nearly CO., 600 cattle
were destroyed in India in 1885 by tigers,
leopards, and venomou5 snakes. Most Of
these people were poor ryots whose little
farms border the ungles. An appalling
number Of human beings, particularly in
Africa, fall prey every year TO the beasts and
reptiles Of the unreclaimed regions of the
world. The crocodile is one of the worst
enemies of human life, and in the Congo
basin alone probably several thousand per-
sons annually become the prey OF his vora-
cious appetite. The audacity Of these crea
lures was illustrated a while ago on the Gu
ANA river, where one of them pulled white
man of the gangpank of steamboat and
drew him under the water. Prof. Drum
mond, in bis recent book, tells OF these par
ticular perils OF African travel and OF his
own narrow escape once when he was about
to sit down on what appeared to be patch
of yerdure, but which, in fact, was the coil
ed body of snake for whose poisonous bite

TaE RESULT OF the election shows that
wherever the subject of the tariff was thor
onghiy aoa intelligibly discussed and ex
planned on the stump, even though most OF
the mon spoken to we're miners end factory
hands, there the democrats made gains, and
that whore the audiences were Chi, fy agri-
culturists, vino no body pretends are pro
tected by the tariff, AID to whom it was
deemed unnecessary to waste much time in
explaining the tariff, as in The Northwest,
there the democrats sustained losses. Why
an American farmer should be in favor OF
protection passes all understanding.

Correspondence of the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE
WooDyILLE, Va, Nov. y j. Y. Meme
fee, one of the most prominent lawyers Of
this county, died on Saturday morning last
at his late residence in Washington. he
had been i'll for some months. and his death
was caused by general giving way of the
mind ADD body. He was about 70 years
old Mr.. Menfee was specially popular as
criminal lawyer and was engaged 10 many
of the trials of criminals 10 this and the ad
Joining counties. He was an earnest and
vigorous speaker, and was we'll known
throughout this part of the State.
The election at this precinct did not pass
off quietly by any means, and though no
one was hurt, vel, at QUE time, it looked ms
though a general fight would take place be-
tween the more active workers of The two
parties. This Was caused by what has be-
come crying evil here-the buying of vo.
ters Money was not only paid, but PAID
to number scarcely believed heretofore
and this vas done with not even an attempt
at coDooalnent.
The result of the election is a great sur.
prise 10 the party here. Such defeat WAS
unooked for, and, it seems could have been
prevented. the views of the GAZETTE upon
this subject are not only the correct way oil
looking at this democratic Waterloo, but we
are glad to see t is fearless in saying just
what did it and who are responsible for il.
The criticisms of your paper during this ad-
ministration have been fair, jus, and honest,
and had they been needed by the powers
that be Cleveland could have been
Just as easily re elected as Hill. 1t
is bitter pill for those to swallow who
did their duty and tried to have others DO
theirs. The record of the GAZETTE has not
only been true and loyal one, hut its fore
knowledge in some matters has been re-
markaby correct.
We regret to say that VIM. F. Anderson,
one of our supervisors, is about to remove
with his family to Roanoke. Hs has sold
his farm and personal property and will en-,
gage 10 merchandising In his new home. B.
