fr * ani fttorngt FRIDAY OCTOBER 8, 1SSO. Hurt Badly.—Georgia liad a solid steady-going reputation among the States which you may depend upon it has been badly hurt by this Democratic fiare-up •on the gubernatorial question. Smashing the Slates.—The Sir Ora- ■cles of the election estimates, and their figures will bo beautifully smashed up next Wednesday in Georgia; but if they will give us a quiet and good-humored election it is all we ask. Veby Little Cotton Lost.—A note from Dougherty county says there was not a corporal’s guard of cotton pickers in Albany, on Wednesday, to listen to the big Colquitt and Norwood speeches dne ■on that day. Colored and white are more interested in getting the crop to market. Denied.—Chas. Powell, colored, who was convicted of murder in Telfair Supe rior Court some months ago, had his case carried to the Supreme Court. After patient hearing, the application for a new trial was denied, and the judgment of the court below was affirmed. He will be re- sentcnccd at the next term of court, which convenes during the last week of October. When this journal predicted, several weeks ago, says the Philadelphia Times, that both Ohio and Indiana would be contested with equal desperation and nearly equal doubt after the ifaine elec tion, the organs were merry oyer what they called an idle prophecy. Now both States are contested hand to hand; neith er side is entirely confident of cither, and both parties aro compelled to put their best men and all the money they can raise into the double battle field. A Washington dispatch to the New York Herald says it is understood that the campaign in Ohio calls for special ef fort on the part of the Republicans. To make certain of carrying that State in Oc tober an additional number of the most effective speakers are to be sent into Ohio at once, and it is reported that Secretary Sherman, who had previously announced that be would make no more campaign speeches before the October election, will again take the stump in Ohio. The temperature has been low in Macon for several mornings past. Yes terday, at sunrise, it was 50 to 52, accord ing to locality, and the morning before 52 to 54. Appearances seem to favor an ear ly frost, and until that point is settled, it is hardly worth while foi the boys to be talking about a six million bale crop. Let frost stay away until the last of Novem ber, and then we shall sympathize with laige estimates. An Unhappy Coincidence.—The Chicago Inter-Ocean wa3 overtaken by Hancock's letter on the rebel claims at a most unlucky moment. The organ bad gone to the trouble of getting up a whole page of blood-curdling statistics about rebel claims and things on the very night that the Hancock letter was sent out. The letter got aroumi — late, however, that there was no time for a chau & „ „ n( j a ]j earns out in the same paper. It must require some skill for an organ to make itself as ridiculous as this. Another Reason* -Why Indiana Should be Carried.— 1 To see how much turns upon the pending election in Indiana, we have only to reflect that if Senator McDonald is re-elected, the Democrats will retain their control of the Senate of the United States in the next Congress, even if New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut return Republicans in place Of the incumbents. The terms of five Democrats expire in those States and Indiana, and the elec tion of a single Democratic successor to any one of the five assures a Democratic majority in the upper house of Con gress. The Revised New Testament.— The Philadelphia Times says: “The facts about the revised English version of the New Testament are that it will be pub lished on this side of the Atlantic by Thomas Nelson’s Sons, of London, Edin burg and New York; that Macmillan & Co., are not interested • in it, the author ized publishers in England being the Uni versity Presses of Oxford and Cambridge, and that it will not bo published this year. How early in the next year the work will be ready it is impossible now to say, but the recent statement that it was already passing through the press is quite without foundation.” No Election in Colorado till November.—There have been misappre hensions and mistakes concerning the date of the election in Colorado. Most of the political manuals for'1880 announce that the State officers and members of Congress are to be chosen on October 5tb. Doubt having arose in regard to the mat ter, Chairman Barnum, of the Democratic national committee, telegraphed to Mr. J. F. Welborn, chairman of the Democratic State central committee of Colorado, who responded, “We have no election in Octo ber. It is November 2d.” So Georgia will be the first Slate to vote in October, the State election here taking place on the Gth oi that month. Col. W. A. McDonald Speaks.—A.t a recent political gathering and discussion at Jesup, after Captain Bradwell, the first district elector, and Hon. Geo. R. Black, the Democratic nominee for Congress, had delivered effective addresses, and Colonel C. W. Styles, also, bad made a rattling talk, the independent candidate, Rev. Mr. McDonald mounted the stand. He took the ground that he was entitled to the field because he had come out first for Congress. The parson, however, is staunch Democrat, albeit he let it slip that his main dependence was the colored vote, as they always centre on an inde pendent. The Seaport Appeal says: He made a quaint speech, but it was wclfTempered, sometimes forcible and very often mirtli-)noyoking. It was char acterized wijli sound Democratic princi- ■nifis. nnf riarrluDDeals and “plain old pies, patriarchal appeals and “p fanner” oddities. He was now living with his third wife, was the father of twenty-seven children, ten boys and seven girls living, and twenty-eight grand children, and thought his record would compare favorably with anybody’s. He made many kind aud complimentary references to Colonel Black, awl indorsed him in the highest terms. Two hundred men went out to hunt bears at Wards boro, Vt., the beasts fcjtv*. Ccnkling’s One-Sided Statesmanship, Conkling, in his late Burlington letter, dilates upon the unpleasantness of having “rich, tax-paying people, who carry on most of the business and do most of the paying” out-voted by poor people who scarcely pay a dollar, aud yet propose to manage the affairs of the government just as if they held a majority of the stock. According to the usages which govern stock companies, this id not right; and yet Conkling did not think so when he led the hosts in favor of universal negro suffrage. None so fierce for “manhood suffrage ” as Mr. Conkling. But'tlie United States government is not a joint stock company. Shares in it arc not the result of voluntary subscrip tion, and votes are not allotted by the number of shares held. Therefore, un til Conkling gets an opportunity to re model our governmental system, ho is com pelled to stick to his old “manhood suf frage” and make the best of it. It will be a model republic when Mr. Conkling has arranged that no Southern man or Demo crat shall vote, and no man shall vetc for anything else than a “strong govern ment” and a third term. What Shall bo Done for the Children. Mr. Zettler, the very vigilant and effi cient superintendent of the public schools for Bibb county, is at bis wits’ ends to accommodate the numerous applicants foi* places in the various academics. No less tban 118 additions have already been made to the white pupils, and the number continually increases. Several of the school rooms, notably those of the fourth and fifth classes in the North’ Macon Grammar School, are crowded to such an extent that there is no more room for chairs or desks, and the pupils, if received, will be forced to sit prone upon the floors. Take, for instance, the apartment devo ted to the fourth graded class. This room can only accommodate thirty pupils,.and yet it is now crammed with no fewer than forty-two, yet there aro about ten more to bo squeezed in. The plastering on the walls also is in a falling condition, and the floor decayed and unstable. With the windows closed, and a hot fire in the stove of a cold wintry day, imagine what will be the condition of the fetid at mosphere which must be breathed by these hapless innocents? What may it be likened to, save the Black Hole of Cal cutta? If the authorities in charge, whoever they may be, persist thus in bidding de fiance to the plainest hygienic rules, and diphtheria, malignant scarlet fever, or some other fell disease makes its appear ance in that crowded school room, it is not only probable, but certain, that the mortality among the children will be tear ful. We have but two suggestions to make in the premises: 1. Let the present school structure on the Folhill lot be tor down and rebuilt on an enlarged scale, or] if that be impracticable at this Junct- urj>, additional accommodations should be rented forthwith, so that all children entitled to the benefit of our public school system may be provided for. t lf this recommendation cannot be ed into effect, then it is the duty of those having the matter in charge to re quest a committee of practicing physicians to'visit the several apartments of the North Macon Grammar School, and de cide how many pupils can be safely and meat with due regarlf'W n u£?. < *--. a P ari f condition. ,If the number lie less tban tbht in actual attendance, it should bo rc- d to the proper figure, if needs be, by [Uiringeach pupil to draw for bis seat, blanks being the number in excess of who can be properly cared for. We see no other feasible remedy for the present deplorable condition of affairs. Of course no parent would consent to haVe bis or her child gxcluded to make room for that of a neighbor, nor would the superintendent assume the responsi bility of saying who should be retained, or who be excluded. We trust the proper authorities will lose no time in providing ample accommoda tions for all the school children of the county. This is a question in which the entire community is vitally interested, and if necessary, an additional tax should be lev ied to meet the emergency. It is believed, however, that the poll tax, if duly col lected, will go very far towards affording the iund that will be needed just now. Lester and Butler at Cnthbert * “ CUTHBEBT, GA., Sept. 23.

Butler, who is now canvass ing the West for Hancock and English, in his late Boston speech said: Look at the rank and file of our armies! They were as largely recruited from the Democratic as the Republican party. For the correctness of this assertion, let me speak of my own knowledge. I marched to the Gulf with a New England division, containing 5,000 men, and there could not have been found moifi" than 500 men in that division who bad Aver Voted any oth er than the Democratic ticket. They came back voting for the Union for which they bad fought, and they have been voting in tliesame direction since, and will con tinue so to vote when they vote with the Democracy for Hancock, by whose side they fought. Barnum and the prospects The Baltimore Sun’s Washington correspond ent says, oh the 20th: SATISFIED WITH THE SITUATION. Hon. Wm. H. Barnum, chairman of the national Democratic committee, was in Washington to-day. Mr. Barnum was at Democratic headquarters, and' also had interviews with prominent members of the local Democratic organizations. While reticent, as he usually is, Mr. Bar- num was in the best of spirits, and indi cated that the national committee could not be better satisfied. with the situation as it now exists. ALARMED FOR OHIO. The Republicans are apparently alarm ed over Ohio. Gen. Grant has been per suaded to preside over a meeting to be hold at Warren. Secretaries Sherman artd Schurz will leave some time this week to enter the campaign there, and half a dozen of the principal treasury offi cials are there or will be there before the week is over. a Polar Katters. New York, September 30.—A cable special from London says the Scbwatka discoveries and the Jeannette expedition and polar matters generally continue to be leading topics of discussion in English journals. Among the latest contributions to the literature on the subject is a letter from Commander Cheyne in reply to an article in the Standard a few days ago, in which that journal questioned the taste of bringing borne the remains of Lt. Irving of the Franklin expedition. He (Cheyne) ex presses his satisfaction that the nones of t officer have been brought back by Lt. iwatka, and thinks that when they ar rive in England it will be necessaiy to hold an inqnest in order to ascertain the cause of his death. In the event of such inquiry being held, he declares he will reiterate th° charges against the contractor who fur nished the supplies, and whom lie accuses of;t!ie murder of the Franklin party, fcheyne has been making these charges lectures and addresses since the return the Vares expedition,, but the papers here have usually left out tbenameof the contractor, fearing ail Action for* libel. i charges against the contreotnr aost startling character. It was not n "to ■'ur5-Taea»*iVot.vo'»aj^' vftieyne. They were murdered by the contractor, who supplied the expedition with pre served meats. The same contractor suppliedSir James Ross’ expedition, aud the tins labelled beef and mutton contained nothing but offal. Some of the tins contained nothing bnt big knuckles of bone. Everything belonging to animals was put into the tins except the horns, hoofs and hides. The very entrails were there, and when they ate them they had to hold their noses, so offensive was the stench. If SirJame3 Ross and his party had been out another winter they would have starved. I have repeatedly, in my lectures throughout England, denounced this con tractor as & murderer, and dared him to bring action for libel. I should be glad to have him do so, for I could establish tbp truth of what I say. Mr. Stephens on the Gubernatorial Contest. In a letter to Theo. A. Winn, Esq., of Liberty county, dated September 20tb, 18S0, and published fn the Hincsville Ga zette, Hon. A. H. Stephens thus express es himself in relation to the present can vass for Governor: I now say, that while I have taken no part in the pending canvass for Governor, and do not intend to, yet justice to you re quires that T should say that your report of what occurred between us, while the convention was in session, is substantial ly correct. The exact words I do not re member. I told you that as Colquittliad in the primaries secured a majority of the delegates, he had carried the day, and thus won his spurs, and should be per mitted by the minority to wear them. It was in this connection I used the illustra tion of taking “kimeks.” I was, as yo~ well knew, not in favor of Colquitt’ nomination myself; but thought it best for tbo peace and quiet of the country, as well as the best interests of the public, for the minority gracefully to yield to the will of tlie majority. It was then you called my attention to the important Tact that the majority had themselves passed a resolution to the ef fect that no one should be nominated by the convention without the vote of two- tbirds of the convention in bis favor. I then said to you that I thought they ought to abandon the rule they adopted or stand by it—i, e., they ought to rescind it, or not to adjourn without nominating some one by a two-thirds vote. This, I think, is about the substance of what passed be tween us. Yours truly. J.UU13 UUlj) Alexander H. Stephens. Who after this will say that the “Great Commoner” is the advocate of Mr. Nor wood? Carrots. The following Is an extract of an essay on rodt crops, delivered by B. D. Lumsden, of Bibb county, at the Georgia Agricultu ral Convention, Cuthbert, Ga., February, 1830: Tliis root is not grown in Georgia ex cept for table use.

Pan-Presbyterian Council. Philadelphia, Sept. 30.—Rev. Prof. Watts, of Belfast, presided at this morn ing’s session of the Pan-Presbyterian Council, and conducted the devotional ex ercises. By recommendation of tlie business committee, the committee on creeds and confessions were enlarged uy the addition of two elders, and A. T. Neven, of Edin burg, and Henry Day, ofNew York, were appointed such members. The committee on creeds and confess sions read a communication from the Rc- fomred Presbytery of Pliiladelphiamaking application for representation In the council, declaring its creed to be in con formity with the consensus of reformed confessions, and agreeing to accept the constitution of the Alliance. On motion of tlie chairman of the com mittee, representatives of the Presbytery were admitted. Dr. Brownson submitted a resolution providing for the appointment of a com mittee to prepare some expression that would go forth to the world as an uttei- ance of the council on Ahe subject of Sab bath observance. Refereed to tliobusiness committee. - • * • i • _ Rev. Dr. J. Murry Mitchell, of Edin- bu discussed the subject in all its .bearings, including the be3t means of raising funds, modes of conducting' missionary Books. Do not fear being surrounded on all sides by wise and good books, fear only lest you slight or misemploy tlie wealth which they contain. Remember that the savage Australians ran for centuries over ild dust, and yet reaped no harvest. e certainly beleive, then, that in itself a good library is a good thing, although in some cases it may be injurious to the pos- sesror. The danger is obvious, and may be avoided. If, bv the acquisition of many books, you cease deliberately and earnestly to think for yourself; if you are tempted to roam from subject to subject, desultory manner, just to know what has been said upon it, your large library will become of little value. But if, with honest intention, you have chosen branch of study, convinced for you it is most appropriate, and oftentimes books apparently quite alien may be brought to bear upon it. One author may awaken suggestions, which, though leading you for a while beyond your own mental ter ritory, may bring you back to it at last enriched and benefited. Another writer may give you exactly the facts you need, and' a third the impulses and inducements without which your labors would be con ducted feebly or not at all. One may brace yon for mental conflict, another may soothe and refresh your spirit; and thus, if not wanting to yourself, all may be subservient to the* end you have in view. . j . .• > As to the Uses of Mosquitoes.— The Baltimore Sun says: Mosquitoes, ac cording to some doctors of tbo new school are nature’s prophylactic against malaria, the liquid injected by the sting depositing acrystal, which, upon analysis, is supposed to be identical with quinia. The idea of tlie mosquito being the counter-irritant to malaria is certainly a very benevolent one, though it will hardly prevent people from killing their medicine on sight. But why. not assume the converse of the pro; tion, that mosquitoes are the cause of ma laria ? Certainly the biggest mosquitoes, and those that bite the hardest, are fount where chills are most severe and fevers hottest. In Louisiana and Mississippi where the “break-bone” fever rages, tin mosquitoes have the reputation of being able to pierce through a thick buckskin glove. In those sections ladies do their sewing under hiosquitcyi^ts, and the most ardent lover, when he goes courting, *' ways finds a “bar” between him and object of his affections. A newspaper at Washington, edited bv.a nephew of John W. Forney, enter- tains-a horrible suspicion that some of the clerks and other residents in the District of Columbia, whom the Republicans intend to 6end home to Indiana to vote, may be Democrats at heart and vote as they feel. It urges the party managers to exercise wise discretion in giving out rail road tickets, to the end that no Democrats may be sent to a State where it is proba ble there are already too many for the good of the Republican party. The principal ingredients of sea water are common salt, muriate of magnesia] sulphate of magnesia, and sulphate lime. . posed of students, ladies, citizens and vo ters, mostly white, a few colored men and intelligent gentlemen from other sur rounding counties. The audience was not a large one for such an advertisement as had been made—still, large enough prevent the impression that it was a failure in that respect. The attention of the people was good, as this is the first public speaking here since thd campaign opened. Mr. Lester made an earnest pre sentallon Of the often-repeated objections, in part, against Colquitt, and was follow ed by the good humor and laugh-provok ing sallies of Mr. Butler. Quite a number of staunch Colquitt men gave respectful attention, upon whom, like the often- repeated blows heretofore read upon Col quitt, made no Impression except to stir them tip to be more active. And that was all the good these or any public speeches could do Mr. Norwood—that is, stir up tliemen who are already for bim. Gorilon is to be here next Monday, and a grand ovation of the people awaits his coming—and a grant! majority fn Ran dolph for Colquitt awaits the coming of the 6th of October. It is proper to state that the candidate for representative in this county, nominat ed by a harmonious convention, Richard D. Crozier, is a Colquitt man—but the question in no way controlled the nomi nating convention. Ho is a young man, of strong and influential connections, liberal education, fine mental endow ments, moral and steady, and is popular a3 well with Norwood as with Colquitt men all over tlie county. It was said that the Norwood 'Club here last night would recommend or in dorse Captain William M. Tumlin, who' desired to run as a candidate against Mr. Crozier. But members of the club who were present have assured the writer tlikt the action of the club wa3 an express re fusal to indorse or bring ont any c?r.di- date for the Legislature. It is also true that, notwithstanding this action, Captain Ttimlin is to-day an avowed candidate. Brimberrv is said to favor the candidacy of Captain Tumlin, as a method of getting the negroes’ taxes paid, so they can vote for him aud Garfield. It is not known here liow the colored vote of the county is likely to go in this new race for the Legis lature, bnt they are said to be generally inclined for Colquitt. Randolph. irgh, read the report of the committee on feign missionary work... The report Pekin, China, and urged more ener getic prosecution of mission work in the tieatben and pagan countries. The report states that two million pagans bad been rescued from darkness during the past seventy years by the present missionaries, and referred to the greater facilities and advantages that may now be enjoyed by missionary workers. Rev. Dr. Paxton, D. D., of New York, submitted from tlie American portion of the committee a written history of mission enterprises connected with the following churches: The Presbyterian Church of Canada, United Presbyterian Church in Ri ‘ - - - - of the will of John G3lbraitli to show that the first Presbyterian church on this con tinent was established at Relioboth, Som erset county, Indiana, in 1686. Rev. Dr. Breed, of Philadelphia, read paper on “Diffusion of Presbyterian lite rature.” Papers were also read by Rev. Edwin F. Hatfield, of Now York, on “Revivals,” and by Dr. David Steele, of Philadelphia, on “Personal Religion.” Philadelphia, October 2.—Tlie sec ond general council of the Pan-Presbyte rian Alliance, closes to-day with a busi ness meeting, at which were declared tlie conclusions' reached b/Hie council'on the subjects which bad be*nt'ptosehfed to it. Among the resolutions reported by the business committee and adopted by the council, were the following: That no actioD on the subject of Bible revision be taken by the council until the work is completed; that committees be appointed to formulate parliamentary rules for the future guidance of the Alliance at its council meetings, and to define the grounds afid acts upon application for admission to membership.' * ’•* The report of the committee on the methods of helping the Continental churches was approved. After some dis cussion, a resolution was adopted sanc tioning the publication separately of pa pers read before the council, with tlie pro viso that the title pages bear a notification that tlie council does not hold itself re sponsible for the opinions expressed there in. The letter of greeting to the various churches represented in the council which had been prepared by a special committee by direction of the council was read and approved. This communication congratulates the people upon the success of the council and the flourishing state of religion; exhorts them tq practice family prayer, closely observe the Sabbath day, and manifest’ a warmer interest in tlie mission work of the church, and generally counsels and advises pas tors, elders and congregations as to their respective duties to each other, to the church and to God, and bidding all god speed in their several fields. The first Sabbath in January next wa3 fixed as the day upon which to have the letter read in 11 the churches in the Alliance. iThe business session was formally closed with a ten minutes’parting address by Rev, Chas. A. Dicke, D.D., followed b, ’ singing of the doxologv. the United States, Reformed Dutch Cburch, Reformed Presbyterian Church, Associated ReformedChurch,Presbyterian Church North, and Presbyterian Church South. A summary of the statistics sub mitted in the report may be thus stated: Missionaries in the field, 195; native mis sionaries, 135; native licentiates aud preachers, 198; medical missionaries aud teachers, 118; American women connected with missions, 2C6; native teachers and Bible readers, S9-1; communicants, 18^371; scholars in boarding schools, 1,691; schol ars in day schools, 12,9S7. Dr. Paxton submitted a written report with an address, in which ho remarked that the success of the mission work should overwhelm those who had cried failure and should encourage those who bad kept hearts and hands in the work. Rev. Dr. J. Leighton Wilson, of Balti more, addressed the council in favor of an ecclesiastical union, by which to secure coroperation in the missionary fields, and Rev. Dr. John C. Lourie, of New York, followed on the same subject. Dr. Wil son proposed that the missionaries go for ward as evangelists, establishing churches, ordaining ministers and organizing pres byteries. Dr. Lourie, whilo admitting the utility of the proposition, remarked that if he en tertained a belief in such powers as that of an individual presbytery ordaining ministers, he would go into the Episcopal Cburdi, where such ordinations are gov- ned by carefully drawn rule3 and ca ms, instead of being. Jcft. to the diserc- yn of tlie individual presbytery. Rev. Dr. Hutton, ot’Paisley, presented a resolution setting forth that the council would consider it timely and proper for the various churches represented in the Alliance to take such action as may seein best to the various churches looking to fi closer anion qf tlieir respective mis sionary operations, for greater co-opera tion in tbo practical work of the mission field. The resolution’ was referred to the business committee. Adjourned till 2:30 o’clock. I Philadelphia, Oct. 1.—This morn ing’s session of tbo Pan-Presbyterian Council was held in Horticultural j,Hall Dr. Prime presiding, in tlie absence of Rev. Dr. Van Gieson, of Richmond, JVa., who liad been appointed chairman of the session. Rev. Dr. Biaikie laid before the Council the report of the committee on the methods of helping European church es, which was mainly devoted toasebeme for increasing the salaries of Waldenscan pastors in Switzerland. Speeches in ad vocacy of tlie scheme were made by Revs. Lang and McIntosh. Rev. Adolph Monod delivered an ad dress fipon the slate of religion in France, and Rev. A. F. Bascarlet upon the state of religion in Switzerland. The report furnished by Rev. Ferdinand Cizar,of Kilobonk, on tbo stateof religion io Moravia, was read by James Macdonald of Edinburg. Rev. Antonio Arrighio spoke upon the free church of Italy, and invited the coun cil to bold its Fourth General Council in the Vatican at Rome, which, be said would by that time be in the possession of the Protestants. The session closed with a general dis cussion of the papers read at previous meetings upon the subject of home mis sions. Disarming ft Rattlesnake. Tlie Philadelphia Times allows its Washington correspondent to talk In the following blood-curdling manner con cerning anakeStH .io fitii. A ;- „’tunO i“l assisted at a snake killing on Wed nesday, in tlie labra’.ory of the Smithso nian Institute. I was very glad to be called ou by Mr. Rliees for this purpose ful because the killing was supposed to b(j in tlie interest of science, to which I n warmly devoted; second, because “I ite snakes; and third, because there was ho danger. A rattlesnake eight feet long bad arxiyed at tlie institute. A dozen graitlcmen, mostly of a scientific turn of mind like myself, were present. Tho box Iwm placed oh 'the floor, and ■liad an opportunity to view the monster before the entertainment be- 'an. He lay coiled up in bis box, and ooked like a bolt of gray cloth. His rat- was sticking straight up and trembling , h warning. His npse resting on -ids tail, and liis cold eyes setting bade ip his head, liad an awful look. His' body, I should think, was fifteen inches In teircum- ence. liis head was about the size of-a ten’s, and the spread-.of his jaw was enormous.. Evprythtyg being,,in, readi ness, three scientists at once began opera tions. The slidlrig-lld was uiiScrtwed. One.of the coatless men had a stick -with eponge,as big as an apple tied to it, and bottle of chloroform. .Another lipd - a pair of long pincers, while tho- other acted as' tile snake’s door keeper. Tlie Jld was slowly moved back a little and the end of the pincers, wgs in-, rested in the aperture. Bump, bump, bump went the snake’s 'head against the top of his box and the tall sang a merry song. The man -with the pincers- knew what be was .about, and cautipusly lie thrust his pincers in. Snap! and every body shuddered. Then what raltllug,' V ;UfL‘f ,i a n n"a cJFiA«enjcd as if the rep- tlie pincers man was strong, and in a sec ond or two the snake’s nose was through the aperture. The lid man was cool and watched sharp that a larger opening wa3 not forced thau was necessary. Finally the cold eyes came out, aud plump! his whole head wa3 out of the box, and the pincers held liis neck like a vice. How he writhed and rattled! Quick as lightning the man with the sponge and bottle was doiDg his part. He poured the chloroform upon the sponge and jammed the sponge in the monster’s great red mouth. The mouth closed, and it was forced open again and more chloro form forced into it. Then the pincers man with his left hand seized the reptile by tlie neck and released the pincers, which fell with a rattle on the stone floor. It was not a pretty sight, a man holdln monster by tlie throat whose bite was stant death, but be lield him nevertheless, for it was in tlie interest of science. Then more chloroform was poured into him. At about this time everybody wa3 pretty well excited but the pincers man. He very coolly took a small pair of pincers from the table, put liis head down so he could see; and with the little pincers be pulled out the big fangs of the reptile and laid them one after the other on a white sheet of paper. They were nearly an inch long. By this time the snake did not seem particularly interested in sci ence or anything else, so they pulled him out of his box and straightened him on tlie floor; the pincers man kept his grip at the neck.
