American venomous Snakes.

There are four kinds of venomous
serpents in the United States-the
rattlesnake proper, the copperhead
and the moccasin, the coral snake
and the ground rattlesnake. The dia-
mond rattlesnake and the copperhead
are the most deadly The former is
undoubtedly the cause of more deaths
from snake poisoning than any other
in the United States. This is due to
its large size--it grows not infre-
quently to seven feet liz length and
three inches iE diameter-and to the
great length of its fangs and the CO.
pious amount of venom IL injects into
wounds. Probably not more than
fifty persons die of snake bite in the
United States in any year. Perhaps
$4,000 would be fair estimate of the

There is no likelihood of any lapse
in the succession to the throne even
though King Edwards present illness
prove fatal. The heir apparent is the
present prince of Wales, duke of
Cornwall and York, whose recent
tour of the world has given him much
prominence. On the death of his
father he will Immediately succeed
to the dignity and title. In case OF
his death he would be succeeded by
his sou, Prince Edward of York.
The present prince of Wales is a
Young man of excellent character
who is greatly beloved by all British
subjects. The death of Queen Vic
toria caused some striking changes
of precedence in the royal family.
The duchess of York has hitherto
followed after the duke and duchess

duchess OF Argyle and Princess Henry
of Battenberg. Now she precedes
them all and with her husband stands

IT is claimed by the Delaware
Democrat" that convicts compelled
to labor on public roads, would de-
prive men of the privilege to work
out their taxes. That is a very
contracted view of the subject to
set before its readers, and will not
educate them to the means of at
tanning the best results from a very
poor road system. Convict labor
on public roads is not free labor
by a long shot. The taxpayers
are compelled to board, clothe and
lodge criminals; all of which will
closely approximate sixty cents
per day;--especially when theil
cost of conviction is considered
would this prove correct. Will
convict labor, work would be un
dertaken of a more permanen
character, which would be of grea
gain to traffic over the public high
ways; and in few years even on
common dirt roads would shoN

ion under a competent engineer.
We are in favor of convict labo
