I think there are many reasons why the tax ; on to bacco should be reduced considerably, if not abolished entirely; mainly be cause there Is now collected a surplus of revenue and the reduction should be made in the interest of the multitude, as ours is a popular government," and be- cause the very short crop of tobacco this year demands a release from, or reductlob of, this tax now. I believe all the special taxes,' commonly known as Ivxnxt taxes to sell tobacco or spiritr, license taxes are a great source of an noyance to farmers or business men, who for' convenience, are sometimes compelled to handle tobacco or spirits for employees, or both, ior legitimate convenience, but who do not regularly engage in the trade for profit. These taxes do not amount to enough, now that there fa a surplus ot revenue, to justify their collection generally. ; The direct tax on malt and spirituous li quors might be reduced, but will of necessity remain for a long time, at least as long as there is a public debt "Howdoyoti regard the pelitical .

Tbe modern cant and 'criticism- which we sometimes hear about Washington not being alter ail a very great man, would bare been dangerous talk on that day and In that assemblage. '? , ! These pioneers placed a 'nlxb value on education, and while they were still on the frontier, struggling with its pri vations they establiahed two excellent colleges, long since prosperously united in one. j It would be impossible to over-estimate the beneficent and . wide spread influence which Washington and Jefferson; Colleges have exerted on the civilization of the great country ' which lies between the Alleghaniea and the Mississippi river. Their graduates hate been prominent in the pulpit, at the bar, on the bench and in the high sta tions of publie life. ; During my service of eighteen years in Congress I met a larger number of the alnni of Wash ington and JetTerson than of any other single college ia the Union. I make this statement from memory, but I feel assured that a close examination of the rolls of the houses from 1863 to 1881 would fully establish it correctness, j Notnnly were the two colleges founded and well sustained, but the entire edu cational system of the county, long be fore tbe school tax and public schools was comprehensive and thorough. I I remember la my own boyhood that there were tew or eleven academics or select schools la the countv where lads I could be fitted for college.

Leaventhorpe, of North Carolina, writes the New York ua on the sub ject of the hoop or sachem snake, which is often seen in Virginia and the south. The snake is of venomous fame, and though it may be extreme precaution, I should not care to risk even . now a scratch from the point of the rpur. In the early summer a serpent of this species was killed within three hun dred yards i of my diouse. I saw this snake when dead. Its color was dingy yellow, marked and "blotched with black. Tbe head was flit and vicious looking There was a remarkable mus cular swell, like that of the r biceps, some inches above the tail, and sugges tive of an intention to giro force to a blow from the tail, which tapered be- lw tbe swell, and terminated in a horn like that Which I send, lbs horn was grooved in the - same manner, and curved similarly. This specimen meas ured four feet ten Inches. The young man who killed the snake stated that the viper coiled up, at his presence, ap pearing greatly irritated, holding its tail aloft, and agitating it violently.- He did not wait farther hostilities, but settled the matter b? a well directed sho from his rifle. There are many stories of trees that have died after having been struck by this snake, I should not wish' to be responsible for them, for lhre Is a wonderful same ness in one and jail. Rut, beyond a doubt, the hoop snake Is an ogty aad wicked reptile, and Is considered here as fatally dangerous. ' Limits; to Belief.
