I'VE learn from the newspapers that some a

short Of the truth. for many men in NV employ

Of the mountains, has been the scene of numer-

the proud possessor of the prize, go cue.

But the ladies are not forgotten. and between
numerous euchre and whist contests, coupled
with balls in plenty and dancing every evening"

TOO MUCH WIND AND WATER.
A Republican Ratification Meeting Drowned
80 Out by the Storm.

A Republican Ratification Meeting Drowned
Out by the Storm.
The republicans Of the second legislative dis
trict attempted TO hold ratification meeting at
Salem Hail. on 10th street extended. last night
in the midst Of the storm. The storm got the
best of It
A,large number Of local politicians. includ-
ing Andy Gleeson and Col. Perry Carson, were
expe cted and great were the preparations.
The War Department had been called upon
and the stars and stripes swung in festoons
everywhere. As The STAR reporter approached
the scene away of in the darkness, nlumined
everywhere now and then by the vivid light
ming, an improvised platform swathed in flags
doomed up. Several figures, dark specters,
fitted here and there, tearing the flags from
the platform, determined to save the colors
from drenching.
The proceedings were adjourned 10 the inside
OF the hall. Like the platform the hall was COW
cred on all four sides with flags. Three oil
lampe assisted by the lightning made il possible
to sce Back of the hall in the yard an old
piece OF canvas hsd been strung 70 make a shell
Ter Tor speakers and distinguished visitors while
enjoying refreshments. But the wind made a
balloon OF the tent and carried il skyward. The
wind increased in fury and The lightning flashed
with alarming regularity and brilliantly
speakers arrived. The rain was coming down
In torrents. Then there was knock at the
door. doorkeeper swung open the portals
and eight members Of the National Brass Band
rushed in. They were sights 10 behold. Blue
streaks from military caps ran down their faces
and stained their soaking clothes. The pro-
lessor who welded the big horn turned it up
side down inadvertently ard let out a perfect
flood Of water. 1t was a well-soaked band. To
make matters worse the roof commenced to
leak.
Then the lamps began to flicker and one went
out. BY this time the band had caught its Sec
ond wind and struck up "Boom-ta-re." That
was too much, and several of the lassies moved
uneasily In their seats. The movement turned
into well-detined dance, and it looked for a
time as II a ball would develop itself.
One of the leaders took the platform and put
stop TO the fun by introducing 7. L. Jones as
one Of the speakers. He was followed by W.
W. johnson, and between the two there was
enough enthusiasm to safety any republican.
At the regular Carson ratification the second
legislative republican club win take part.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
While great deal Of sentiment is being ex-
pressed concerning the treatment of Private
Iams Of Pennsylvania regiment some of it is
misplaced. His language and conduct under the
circumstance, il left unchecked by Q summary
example, might have spread and caused a large
and discord mt element to appear in the militia
and large and sympathetic following on the
part Of the Homestead element whose riotous
tendencies it was the duty of the militia by
word and act to suppress. When it is possible
to prevent a confiagration by a bucket of water
TO wait till a fire engine WAS called from a dis
lance would be absurd, so, in Iams' case, an
immediate and strong example required
and not TO wait the slow action of a court-nar-
tial. No doubt law was violated, but which of
the two evils is to be preferred-to allow the
spread Of this seditiOn, Indictment to mutiny
and loss Of, perhaps, valuable life, or TO injure
one man? My sympathy is with the officer who
bad the nerve to at once show this action was not
to be tolerated. Instead of being reproached
he should, be commended. Inhumanity of
action may in the end be the most
humane. OF course, the officer in taking this
action takes his Chances and can be tried, but
any court of soldiers would acquit him. Mr.
Lincoln commenced our war on humane
grounds and Till shooting deserters was allowed
thousands of men deserted. which would never
have been under a less humane plan. We have
an army now which is coddled and petted SO a
man can't be looked at by an officer without his
feelings being hurt We have. notwithstand-
ing. hundreds of trials and assertions which
could be lessened by more severe methods. A
man who breaks his oath Of allegiance ought TO
be fogged We are a humanitarian nation,
and the result is the gates of our ports are open
to all the anarchists. socialists &C.. who choose
to come and r,.n our country. Any man in the
military uniform of the country. sworn to sup
port its laws, who by any word or act encour-
afvAa Ia a A..
ought to be tied up and anything else done to
him as a summary example. We have as a ma
ton too much gush and sentiment and too little
action, and the day will come when it will be
found out, but too late to prevent loss of life
My sympathy is with the deserving laborer and
not with a grasping unjust corporation,
when shown to be such, but have no sympathy
for any man who by word OF act casts discredit
upon his country by apphuding the acts of
enemies to our country-socialists or anarch-
lists. To such say, ''Shoot him on the spot"
and have the trial afterward

Cruelty and Piunderinx nv . sultan.

dispatch from Tangier says: 1.-The sultan
announced to the court at Fez on the 10th in
slant that he intended to ask the car to ac-
credit a Russian minister to Morocco, as if this
were done the close alliance between France
and Russia would render him independent of
other European powers. The sultan and his
advisers are. however, reported TO be extremely
nervous as TO the possible chances Of Lis treat
ment of Charles Euan Smith at Fez. There
are twelve rebel Angleras encamped In sight OF
Tangier. The sultan and his soldiers are ex-
tremely unwilling to fight, but they continue
their terrible cruelties and their numbering
and plundering Of villages."

Reversible Snakes i'm India.

From the Hartford Times. ff1
A snake not often heard of, at least in Amer
lea, is the hver-colored snake with two heads
or perhaps they should be called mouths,
though 1t does not have two mouths at the same
time. They are reversible mouths, occupying
the opposite end every six months. It lies With
the two ends. crossed in each other. Is with
folded hands. Every six months the change OF
the seasons reverses the functions Of the two
ends, the head becoming the tail and the tail
becoming the head. The mouth ct one end
heals or closes up oil buta small opening, while
the opposite end becomes the mouth for the
next SIX months. tssa as4a . ~
/ A friend Of mine in India who told me about
this remarkable snake said he refused for long
time TO believe that the functions Of the two
ends were reversed every six months, but one
day he found one Of these snakes In the jangie
and carried it home, where he had physician
