There is no reason to believe that
there exists in the United States a
very-interesting and inique snake,
which has turnished the basis for the
banner mylh among all snake stories,
but which has as yet escaped the ob-'
servaticn of the -naturalist, says the
New York Woild. - The first account
ever printed of this snake appear in a
"Report of the Lords Proprietors of
Carolina," published over two hun
dred years ago. ' It narrates that the
horn snake bellows like a bull, and
that at the end of its tail is a born,
sharp and charged with a venom
poisonous beyond description. Gen
E. P. Alexander, some years agr,
found in a road on one of the South
Carolina sea islands-the body of a
snake which some person had just
killed. In color it suggested a red
Scotch plaid, and if was about four
teen inches long and three-quarters o
an inch in diameter. ? The last inch
or so c-f its tail was apparently solid
used as a weapon. "A general de
scription of the snake ws sent to the
Smithsonian Institution, but the
scientists replied that they cou!d not
identify it Wilmington Review..

1 lie aemocratic vote of the disli-iet is

agriculturalists, who are almost, if uot
completely, in the .majority, are more '
frantic for his re-election than ever be-
fore. Far from beiiifir dissatisfied with

The rank and file of the industrial
class of democrats, ' white not so enthu
siastic over the coal and . lumber sched
ules, are not disposed to uuestion his
position to the point of voting against
nun. . j
On the other hand, there ' are 'many
grave' elements of doubt as to his vie- j
tbry. The shrewd managers who are
pulling the j wires for Mr. Wilson are
not oiinaeu into a complete state o1
satisfaction by the favorable deiuon
strations which were made toward him.
They realize that while the full demo
cratic votehas doubtless turned out to
do him honor, and while everything has
therefore appeared to be democratic in
the , counties through which he has
passed, the republican constituency has
had no favorable opportunity to ex
hibit its strength in a similar manner.
The Republican hide or it. .
Because they have not seen the re
publicans does not mean that they are
not there. The people who attended
Mr. Wilson's meetings were not all oi
the people in the respective sections.
It has been the policy of the republi
can leaders not to make a great
parade Of their forces as Mr. Wilson
has done.- The republican speakers at
the small local meetings have not been
men of great prominence nor trained
orators, as a rule, to attract a great
crowd, but men who could give a plain
business talk to the people. They are
justly hopeful.
IMPORTANT PENSION RULING.
Edict
Upon the Determination
of Com-
mencement of Service. '
Wabhixotox, October 22.-Assistant
Secretary of the Interior Reynolds has
made a ruling holding that section 4701,
-Revised Statutes, limits the legal ter
mination of service in any pension case
to either one or only two possible dates.
These are the date for actual discharge
for any other cause than expiration oi
the term of service of organization and
the date of disbandment of the organi
zation because of the expiration of the
term of service.. It is held that a de
termination of the commencement of
service by the war department from its
records, after full consideration of the
law and the facts, in any " claim based
upon service during r since the war oi
the rebellion." will be accepted by the
Interior department as final. The rule
that pay is coincident with and deter
mines the period of such service is va
cated and set aside, and the consequent
decisions are overruled.

Said to Have Developed Soon After the

Not Rally the Tiger's Forces.
: . . The New Status of Things. ;
New -ork, October 23. Democrats
profess, instead of being alarmed by
the necessity of changing horses in the
middle of the stream, to be greatly
pleased by the .transfer by. Tammany
from Straus to Grant as their candidate
for mayor of New York, It isr asserted
that -it developed very soon after Straus'
nomination that Tammany had an ele
phant on their hands in this cross be
tween a Tammanvite and a Cleveland-
ite for a candidate. ? His nomination
failed to placate the Cleveland people
ment, which it was expected to please,
and at the same time 'failed to arouse '
any enthusiasm among tbe' Tammany 1
people, who must take off their coats
and do whatever was to be done to se-
cure the election. The intense opposi-,
li :ai - j - . 1 :
won oi ine oun 10 sar. fttraus was an
unexpected and a serious matter of
consideration. It was known that. Mr.
Paul -Dana disliked Straus personally
and that he had' protested against the
nomination. But the Tammany folks
had not calculated on this, going so far
as to effect the policy of the paper to
ward a regularly nominated candidate
of 1 the organization.- r Altogether the
result of Sraus' nomination was disap
pointing, and as dangerous as it may
be to make a change of candidates thus
late in the canvass, the opinion is ex
pressed that the change is from a pros
pectof certain defeat to one of fair
hope of election.- It is said that the ac
ceptance of the candidacy of ex-Mayr
Grant will put a great deal of life and
earnestness into Tammany's campaign,
and that 1 if it has no other result.'it
will aid the democrats by bringing : out
.the full democratic vote, in the con
gressional ' canvass. The; democrats
themselves assert great -confidence in
Mr. Grant's election. . - : v '
With relation to the difliculties over
the nominations for congress between
the Grace people and the Tammany, it
Is said that no developments are to be
expected before the middle, of , next
week,' but on election day it will be
found that in none of the districts will
there be two democratic candidates.

"Why so, son?" the father asked.

blood and liver .troubles yield to
