Twenty-Five years ago the 18th of
June fell on Sunday. On that morning
i'm 1864 the Kearsarge, commanded by
Captain WinslOw, steamed out from the
harbor Of Cherbourg. France, to accept
the challenge of Captain Semmes, of the
Alabama. It was TO be a fight 70 the
death. Both commanders were brave
men and their vessels were as evenly
matched as possible.-The Herald.
The Herald certainly intends 10 be
lust and correct. but the fact is that the
challenge was accepted by ths Alabama,
and that the gallant captain Of the
Kearsarge made one great mistake in not
following the high rules Of fair play
which dictated a statement that his
ship was virtually an armored ship, as
he had enclosed a section Of her
side with anchor CHAINS. We
merely call the attention Of thi'
high authority TO the history, and if we
are wrong are perfectly willing to be
corrected.
Nobody will fail to admire the courage
and skill Of Captain Winslow and his
crew, but the impression is that he had
two advantageous in the armor, and
another in having a strictly American
crew, whereas the Alabama had very
much mixed crew. Let us hear from
somebody well posted.

An Onhldian nonnnza.

James McCalan, q young man residing
on Walnut creek, near Index, No., was
squirrel hunting. Noticinghis dog bark
ing furiously, he went forward. The
object Of the dogs attention was an
enormous black snake. which, when
killed, measured fourteen feet nine
inches. The reptile stood perfectly erect
for about four feet of lis length, and
seemed unable 10 move the middle part
Of It's body 20 all.
Although somewhat abashcd by the
formidable appearance Of tho reptile,
jim was not slow TO observe that itc0uld
not move from the spot whcro it, body
seemed bound 10 tho earth, so he picked
up a stout club and striking tho monster
several blows upon its head, which il
was waving about In the air, soon dis
patched IT, lIcwasa again astonished when,
attempting 10 raise tho monster upon
his stick, he was unable to lift it from
the ground.
About that time he saw a neighbor On
the road. Calling upon him for assist
ance, they cut tho snake open at the
place where the immense weight was
located. They took from its body an old
boot les thonged together &C each end,
and containing something SO heavy they
could scarcely lit it. Great was their
surprise and JOY when, upon cutting
open tho boot hg. it was found to be
filed with gold coins from ST up 20 $50
The only plausible explanation is this:
It IS well known by parties living here
that during the late war party Of BUSH
whackers buried a boot teg full Of gold
somewhere Oh Walnut creek. The
monster was found near small rayine,
where it is supposed the gold was washed
out of its hiding place and found by the
snake. st. Louis Republic.

THE Democratic Committee last night
determined on the l4th Of August for
the meeting Of the Convention and
Richmond as the place. The date and
the place are well chosen, and we look
to see a harmonious and patriotic as
semblage OF pious Democrats, who Will
give us short ringing platform and a
good candidate that will make the walls
OF Jericho tremble. Since 1888. when
the Virginia Democracy re-estabiisbed
itself in a popular majority, there has
been no reason why an election should
be lost except by the chronic excuse Of
apathy The stay at home vote
ought to understand that the state Of
Virginia has material interests that af-
feet her politics, and that we cannot
march forward and develop our re-
sources as our sister Southern Statesdoif
we are TO advertise ourselves as the bad
land" of carpet-bagger and scalawag
rule. and the thieves paradise, where
Office is plumber and legislation a grand
receivership of the State government
in the hands Of political cracksmen.
Democracy in Virginia means con-
servatism and safety. Radicalism sig
nifies chaos, out of which to make
order once more would be more diff
cult than just after the war.
You may talk yourself dumb on
tariff or taxes. but after all the plea OF
the Democratic party is every honest
citizens plea for safety.

Coffee is more generally consumed in
Brazil than in any other part Of the
world. The coffee fields Of Brazil cover
2,0OO,0 900 acres, with s0O,0OO,0OO trees,
each tree averaging about one pound per
annum. TIE industry there employs
100000 hands. The consumption Of
coifeoin Brazil averages yearly If pounds
per inhabitant; in Belgium and Holland,
II pounds; in the United States, Z
pounds; in Germany, pounds, and in
Great Britain very little more than half
q pound. Britons drink five times as
much tea as coffee, while Americans
drink eight times as much coffee as tea.
Down to 1900 the only source Of coffee
supply was Arabia, but the berry Is now
cultivated throughout most regions Of
the tropical world lava and Ceylon are
the principal centers OF production after
Brazil, and the total output Of the world
has been estimated to amount to not less
than 1,00OO00,OOO pounds.-New York

PROHIBITION has had fair trial tn
Pennsylvani and the popular vote has
most emphatically knocked 1t out.
TEMPERANCE, as a moral and social
question, is subject for discussion,
and the rum mill" should be reformed
by the proper means; but when it is
proposed for a State government to SUIT
its constitution to tyrannical plan OF
regulating the habits Of people it Is
false to what people call the American
idea. and should be at once sat down on.
AS to the political treatment OF the
question OF temperance there is grow
ing feeling in favor of high license, and
upon that question legislatures can de-
bate and pass laws which can be re-
pealed or amended as the experiment
"a tried. But the amendment to State
constitution to prevent people from
drinking beer or liquors is not only
foolish, it is a monstrous violation of a
fundamental principle which, If once
given up, would open the way to any
other tyranny that cranks might pro-
pose.
The decision Of Pennsylvania will be
profoundly discouraging to the friends
Of restrictive and protective legisla-
ton. 1t is the eighth State in which
constitutional prohibition has been sue
cessively submitted to popular vote
aud in which successive unfavorabie
verdicts have been rendered. This
shows conclusively the drift Of the
tide. The people do notapproye drunk
enness; they disapprove Incorporate
legislation. They think that the perpe-
tuity of free institutions is best insured
by individual responsibility and by
keeping the hand of the State out Of
private affairs with which it has no
business to NEEDLE.

There was n convention OF Sunday

counties represented were there Inc
amount Of biblical and theological
knowledge they had was something as
tounding. On the last day Of the con
vention the high chief ranger OF inc
affair announced 10 the 400 delegates
that he would be pleased to have the
knowing ones think up some hard ques-
tious on subjects pertaining TO Their
work. write them on slips Of paper ana
submit them to him, and that evening,
ot the last session, which was to be
sort Of entertainment, he would answer
them. 4 lot Of people wrote their ques-
tons and gave them TO the great proieS,
sor. and when evening came he had
about fifty good old gnarly problems III
his bunch Of paper slips.
The evenings exercise began with read
ing and answering the questions. and
though some Of them were from away
back and very obtuse. the good man who
had put himself up there as mark COPIED
with them successfully and impressed
the great gathering with his vast knowl-'
edge.
Finally he ran against a question that
made him knit his brows. He scowled
at it a moment and then laid it aside.
When he answered all the rest he picked
ND this side tracked query and said:
Here is a question which | confess l
am unable to answer. / submit 1t 60 the
audience, and if any one is able to give
the answer / will be glad to hear what
it is"
Then he read this query:
"Who was the boy and what was his
name who held the basket containing
the Eve loaves and two fishes which fed
the multitudeF
Nobody made any effort to answer 1t,
and the professor said:
1T seems that nobody knows any
more about it than do. Twill have to
call on the person who submitted the
question to come forward and answer 1t.

PARTY


PARTY.
From the day OF Harrison's election
10 the present time we have discarded
all prejudice and declined to eriticise
him except in the light and evidence OF
hard facts. As for the much-talked-oi
Southern policy Of the Administration
we recognize the virulent sentiments OF
certain big chiefs of the Republican
party, but we hold that Mfr. Harrison
i'll his high responsibility, would be
guided by the Constitution which he
swore to support.
The present aspect Of the admins
tration. however, is not promising
aud it looks widowed with the effects
of a bad atmoshere where the germs
of corruption lurk and contsminste
official honor. The civil service, on
which both parties pretended to post
the banners of reform as the held
where the people were most IN
terested in a contest between purity
aud corruption, has been used for
partisan purposes, and the rules OF the
commission jokeyed and twisted to suit
every occasion Of political use when
the demagogue CRY for Office called for
spoils.
As for what they call "nepotism, "
Mr.. Harrison has instituted regular
Bureau Of Domestic Relations, and has
boldly asserted a royal prerogatlve to
give the public service out as personal
perquisites. A judge Of the Supreme
Court of State was cooliy called on to

CORPORAL TANNER. -ThO manage

poral Tanner has given rise TO grave
misgivings among the more cautious
Republicans. His extreme zeal IN find

create a deficiency. II now seems that
the deficiency may be very serious IN
amount. and such as the majority M
the House would be embarrassed IN

as matter of mistaken or
reckless general policy but IL now
seems that Mr.. Tanner is accused Of
having given extremely unfair prefer
