THE IMMORTAL.

y A st. Paul Republican paper recently
devoted its time and skill to erecting a
monument to ALvAH EASTMAN, OH the
supposition that he was politically dead
and buried. BY some miraculous power
the Anoka editor and statesman has
succeeded in rolling away the stone
from the mouth of the sepulcher to
which he had been consigned, and is
back on earth once more. He is prob
ably the liveliest editorial corpse in the
state, for he is scalping his st. Paul ad-
versary with the skill and vigor of a
Modoc Indian. The moral of it all Is,
you can't suppress country editor. He
is always on deck, dead or alive. and
usually sweeps with spank new broom.
Besides, AL.vAH deserves better treat
ment at the hands of his Republican
brethren. Notwithstanding some legis-
lative blunders, he was always there
when the party roll was called.

A Spring Crop of Snakes. AZ

New York Sun.
This locality is the headquarters for
more rattlesnakes than can be found in
any other spot in Northwestern Penn
sylvania. The experience of Henry
Martin and his son caps the climax.
Martin and his family wiring scant
substance from rocky farm on the
banks of the Allegheny river. Last
Friday while old Martin and his son
Charles were removing a huge pile of
stones, the collection of number of
years. picking in the field, they un-
earthed what seemed to be a ball of black
rope knotted and curiously interlaced.
The mass was as large as bushel
basket, and covered with light pow
derry substance, more resembling bran
than any thing else. The sun was
shining with much warmth for an April
day, and as the ball felt its genial in
fluence it began to culver. Old Martin
yelled ''Snakes," and Jumped away.
Charles, who was of a more inauiring
turn of mind, procured long pole and
stirred up the rapidly yielding mass.
The touch and warmth revived the
dormant reptiles, and the surface of the
ball was seen studded with rattles that
swayed to and fro with sound resem-
bling the blowing of wind through the
dead leaves of a tree. The tails pro-
truded more and more as the snakes
unlocked their intricate coils. They
appeared to be packed with the
heads in the center. One of
the men tossed small stone
into the writhing mass to ''stir 'em up"
He succeeded most effectually; the ball
of snakes fell apart, disclosing some
fifty or sixty rattlesnakes of all sizes,
those within covered with whitish
slime which had exuded from their
bodies. Thoroughly aroused, the ven
omous reptiles lashed their tails in fury
prising agility, their wicked little eyes
open and forked tongues protruding as
they hissed defiantly at their perse-
cutors. One huge reptile, nearly six
feet in length, glided from the center of
the group, and, turning its fiat. ugly
head toward the intruders, opened wide
its mouth and Swayed to and fro. hiss
ing angrilv. Another stone was thrown.
this time of some weight, crushing and
manning many of the reptiles in its
fall. The scene then was simply fright
full as described by the men. In their
agony the wounded snakes writhed and
Kissed with redOuDled fury, twisting
over and over in the blood and slime,
while the uninjured ones, escaping from
the pile, glided toward the Martins with
heads upraised and rafting ominously.
The airwas filledwlth the peculiar musky
odor exhaled by the rattlesnake when
alarmed or angered, so much affecting
the two men that they felt a deathly
sickness. 1t is said the venum of the
rattlesnake is especially deadly at this
season. The situation looked decidedly
unpleasant, and the two men armed
themselves with stout clubs and began
killing snakes. The largest sported
seventeen rattles, which old man Mar
tin cut off and took home with him to
records of Corydon had there been such
a capture.

A PERSISTENT MUGwUMP. \

If GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS loves
the average Republican editor or poll
tician, he has attained the spiritual alti
tude of the sermon on the mount and
loves his enemies, for they don't love
him. They detest him worse than a
tariff reform Democrat. A chorus of
ululatiOn has run along the Republican
lines of late directed at the persistent
Mugwump, especially melted by his
declarations at the annual meeting of
the Civil Service Reform association.
In his address he did not look away
from obvious facts. He said that in not
single instance, that he was aware of,
had President HARRISON illustrated the
spirit or observed the purpose of civil
service reform. He did not know of
single member of the cabinet or either
branch of congress, nor, with a few
isolated exceptions. any recognized
leader of the party who publicly in
sisted that the declared policy of the
party in civil service reform, should be
respected. 1t is not shown that he has
oyerdrawn the facts, but they are what
worry the spoilsmen. They don't
want civil service reform until the
Democrats are all out.

PRorECTION BENEFITS.

. An English capitalist, largely inter-
ested in railroads in this country and
steel works in England, was in st. Paul
few days ago, and remarked to some
English friends. who are experts in the
steel line. that there was an opening
for them in the rail works he was con-
nected with in the old country, one of
the most extensive in England. He
commented upon the strange contrast
between the present condition of the
iron interests in this country and Eng
land. Here furnaces were going out of
blast, mills reducing their production,
ana wages on the down grade, while
the iron works of England we're crowded
with orders the one he was connected
with had work promised two years
ahead and could not take more orders
at present-wages were advancing, and
the industry was never more prosper

of the largest companies cut pig iron a

about the lowest for twenty years. But

ton. =, !

STATE PHILANTHROPY.

Among the enactments of the recent
legislature, is one on the line of modern
philanthropy. connected with prison re.
form. 1t provides for the appointment
of state agent to keep track Of con-
vlcts who have been discharged, and
aid them in securing employment. OF
course. in such matter, very large
discretion must be left with the agent,
and the manner of its exercise will de-
termine the usefulness OF the measure.
A narrow-gauge or boisterous man,
even with the best intentions, would be
likely to defeat the spirit of the act, and
make it sou rec of mischief. Distrust
naturally goes with the man who has
worn the stripes, and ho wever sincere
his reformation, he finds confidence
plant of marvelously slow growth, and
is likely to be driven back to his old
ways from the fact that no door to bet
ter life will open to him. If the state
can provide warm, helpful hand to
grasp, and an avenue to honest citizen
ship, it will do good work.

ington has abandoned the project of raising

land to 20 into the White house. The oppo-
sition of Mrs. Cleveland herself was the main
reason for giving it up, and the Indifference
of the public women of the country was as
potent barrier. The temperance wO men,
headed by Miss Willard, with persistent labor
and many assistants, secured a sufficient
sum to put the portrait of Mrs. Hayes in the
presidential mansion, but it was difficult
undertaking, and the women are not eager to
make q second attempt. When Gen. Grant
died there was quiet canvass made among
the leading W omen of one or two Eastern
cities and one Western city to secure a por-
trait of Mrs. Grant, and one OF the only
daughter of the general, which should be
painted in her bridal robes. The scheme
fell through because there was not enoug
interest manifested to justify any further
action on the part Of the committee. After
President Garfield died an effort was made in
Ohio by school teachers and others to raise a
fund to put Mrs. Garfields portrait into the
White house. The movement was an utter
failure, the women themselves declining to
contribute on the ground that Mrs. Garfield
had received every proof of the country's re-
