wraps the coil of its unwicldly body about its
unfortunate victim, and heedless of the shrieks
of agony that come from the inmost depths of
the victim’sjsou?, loud and reverberating as the

finally breaks its unlucky neck against the iron

A lady camo to New York city from Georgia
a few weeks since, on n moat commendable
mission, that of raising money to assist the
cause of Southern education. She had pro
greased finely with her work, but a day or two
since was «o unfortunate as to lose her mem
orandum book, which book contained, among
other things, tho names of those persons upon
whom tho lady had called, and intended to
call in furtherance of her mission. Imagine
her a.irprb;-.', while in Brooklyn, yesterday, to
t • -rtain that another party, undoubtedly
ha-'ing found r.he memorandum book, assuming
he lady's r. :i.i and armed with forged letter*
of in 1; - Auction, was engaged also in tho lauds
abb* w >rk of collecting money, hut which
money, so far as car* bo ascertained, is not vory
extensively dovotod to the cause of Southern
education. This is one of the sharp tricks, by
the practice of which thousands of people in '
i!io larger cities live, and a moet provoking
joke.— Ex.
A thief entered a house, and wishing to
make clear work, after Beaching the lower
part of the house packed his plunder in a bun
dle, and leaving it on the table proceeded up
stairs to reconnoitre for more. During his ;
absence, the owner of the house who had
watched his movements, takes Ilia bundle and 1
carried it away; presently the thief comes
down, and seeing the bundle is gone, says, •
“W&ll, this is the and a rudest ihie’dng hold over ;
got into. A fid low craft keep anything after
lie has got it.”

In a late letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
“ M'.iok” treats us to the following picture of
Senatorial love and harmony :
“ I don't know why it is, but there is a cor
diality of hatred and a reciprocity of contempt
between fiie great men of the Radical party in
the Senate, that, if fully known, would aston
ish most people. Fessenden hates Sumner,
and says in private conversation he's a fool.
Sumner hates Fessenden, and says that he’s a
wretch. Harlan hates Grimes, and says he’s
a man of no principle. Grimes hates Harlan,
and says he's a swindler. Wade hates Sher
man, and says that lie’s a political ceward.
Sherman —well, John hasn’t blood enough in
him for either love or hate. Conncss hate Cole
(they are both Radicals from California, re
member) and calls him all the evil names he
can think of. Cole reciprocates the favor by
giving, as his private opinion of Oonneas, that
he is the biggest scoundrel unhung. Trumbull
talks of Yates as a drunken fool, and Yates
talks of Trumbull as a sober snoak. If what
Williams, of Oregon, says of Corbett, of Oregon,
bo true, Corbett ought to be in a lunatic asy
lum ; and if what Corbett says of him be true,
Williams ought to ho in tho State's prison.
And, 0 ! ye gods, listen to Drake talk of his
newly elected colleague, tho bumble Seliurz —
he of tho unfathomable German mind and tho
metaphysical German countenance—tho disci
ple of Kant and tlie countryman of Schiller,
‘A Dutch infidel’—‘and an unprincipled inter
loper'— 1 political adventurer'-—and all the
names with which the Radical tongue can grace
its speech when it gets excited.
But even Drake ou Sehurz is sweetened rose
water compared with Morton on Schuyler, the
new Y. P., or Schuyler on Morton. They are
both from Indiana.you know, and each claims
a minute acquaintance with tho other’s record.
Moris this all. The Repnblican party of In
diana seems to bo divided into hostile armies
under the banners of Schuyler and Morten
respectively. The Schuyler follows liavo long
been indulging the hope that Mr. Morton
would die, but he Ims no notion of it. Ila is
better to-day than ho has been for fuur years,
and likely to be ' entirely well very soon.—
Meantime the war goes on. Tho Schuyler fel
lows spit nitric acid all over tho Morton fac
tion, and the Morton faction returns the com
pliment with a strong solution of verbal vitriol.
1 presume each to ho correct in what they say
of the other, and conclude from both that tho
Radicals of Indiana arc a very happy family,
indeed.”
Editorial Slavery.
Every editor of a paper will appreciate the
truth of tho following passage from some of
the writings of Captain Marriott:
It is not tho writing of the leading nrticle
itself, lint the obligation to writs that article
every day (or week), whether inclined or not,
in sickness or health; in aflliction, diseasosfof
the mind, winter or summer, year after year,
tied down to tho task, remaining in ono spot.
It is like tho walking of a thousand hours. I
Imvo a fellow-feeling, for I know how a peri
odical will wear down one's existence. In
kself it appears nothing, the labor is not man
ifest; nor is it tho labor, but it is the continued
attention which it requires. Y T our life becomes
as it wore tho publication. Ono day’s (or
week’s) papsr ia no sooner corrootod and prin
ted, than on comes another. It is tho stono of
Sysiphus ; an endless repetition of toil; con
stant weight upon tho intolloet and spirits,
demanding all the exertion of your faculties,
at the same time that you uro compelled to do
tho severest kind of drudgery. To write for
a newspaper is very well, but to edit one is to
condemn yourself to slavery. All of which is
as true as preaching.

Last Agonies of a Man Dying from Hydro-'
phobia.
The following is an account of a death from
hydrophobia, which occurred in Patterson on
Saturday last:
Timothy McCarty, living near the
in the southern part of the city, was tho vic
tim. On Ne\» Year's day, McCarty was bit--
tan in tho finger by a large black dog which
ho owned. Tho bite seemed a trilling matter,
and lie paid no attention to it. The dog, how
ever, having made other attempts at biting,
was killed by some of the neighbors, who were’
convinced that he was mad, or at all event*
a dangerous animal. Os Into jMcCarty began
to bo considerably disturbed about the bite, ho
brooded over it, became actually terrified,- lost
his sloop, and in other ways showed that tho
circumstance was preying on his mind, the
evil influence being perhaps increased by in- -
cautious remarks from friends and relatives.—
About three o’clock on Saturday morning ho
was seized witlGterriblo paroxysms, so that it
required the.cffbrts of a strong man or two to*
restrain him from violence, lie was generally
rational, but ovor and anon would break out
in incoherent cries and demonstrations of fear,
lie could not tolerate the presence of women
in his room. Onco he was terrified at the
ru'csonco of an imaginary dog under the bed,
but on being assured that no dog wns there,
bocatno quiet. It needed not his show of
aversion to water to toll his friends what wa*'
the cause of this frightful sickness —they had
been expecting it. At two o’clock a physician
was sent for. He came, and without Baying
anything, walked into the room with a little
water in a glass. The man’s horror was sick
ening to behold. In abject fear he drew him
self up in a corner of the bed as far a» possible
from tho bated water, and tho doctor believed
that had ho not withdrawn with the water, the
poor follow would have jumped out of the
window. The doctor was convinced by this,
that tho man’s case wa3 hopeless, and so it
proved, for in another hour he expired in con
vulsions. The physician says it was the most
horriblo ease of the kind he ever witnessed. —

ing simple remedy, which ho found several
