(lIKHI.TTUK HAITI KSNAKK. 1
,Thc Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser *
! has an article on "Poiuts about llattle- 1
snake*." IV o have noven aeou this I
reptile at largo but the accounts which f
we iiave at!en heard from those who '
liave had an opportunity ;f observing 1
its habits agree with the experience of
the guutlonian referred to by the Adver- i
iistr which says : 1
"Few people,' said the gentleman, (
"understand the habits of rattlesnakes,
consequently there is a good deal of un
• aieessary fear regarding them, la the
( firat place, a rattlesnake will not chase
you, and in the second place it will not
attack you unless you cume upon it in 1
sueh a way that it cannot escape without 1
attacking. If a rattlesnake is disturbed I
it usually sounds its rattle and makes 1
off, but if you conic upon it suddenly 1
aud it lias to fight, it will coil itself up, '
poiae its head and strike at you down- I
ward. The fang in turned up under ( '
(be upper jaw, aud as it strikes this is j I
thrown out aud cuts into the tlcsh It
is as sharp as a razor, and goes through '
a thin boot like a ste.l blade." '
The Advertiser gives it as the opiuion
«f its informant that whiskey is the best
artiaU for the poison of the bite of the
rattlesnake. We copy what it has to
say on this point.
"The mat: who is bitten by a rattle
snake should have whiskey poured iuto
him until he is too drunk to stand, and |
be should be kept druuk for two or three
iu;a. The one poison counteracts the
other. If he can't be made drunk there
is .little hope lor hiui. I have seen it
stated that a bottle of turpentine turned
np on the bite will draw the poison out
in the shape of a greenish cloud that
will float up ir.to the white fluid, but 1
ha»« never seen a test made of that.
Live flesh will also draw out the poison,
it it said, aud 1 know that in sotue plac
es, where a person is bitten by a rattle
snake, the first thing done is to kill a
ehiokeo, cut it iu half, and while the
flush is still quivering put it warm to the i
6ite."
It is the common belief that whiskey
IS an antidote foi the poison of the rattle
snake, but so high an authority as Dr.
Weir Mitchell has denied this report.
.He says spirits is merely a stimulus to
carry men over the time of weakness.
For a second stage there is little to do
to ease pain and wait. In the liEi'ttitr
er for June lo we had an editorial on
this subject iu which we gave tho gist
of the results of Dr. Mitchell's investi
gations on this subject;
We fiad room to repeat the following
extract from our former article.
Mitchell contends that no reliable
antidote for the bite of a poisonous suake
is known. The proper treatment, he
asserts, is to "tie a ligature around the
part bitten, and at once lay open the
wound in the line of the fang mark. It
is useless to apply a local dressing .save
Co put the part in hot water to provoke
oopious bleeding. If within reach of
full help an clastic baed-igc should be
put around the whole limb, after Es
inarch's plan for bloodless operations,
until time is given to deal with the part
bitten. This would be better than a
were ligature aloue, which causer swell
ing beyound it. After ligation every
■Sort should be made to squeeze out
the nenom from the wound. Next, al
cohol should be given uutil the heart is
excited, when the ligatures may be loos
ened a little, so as to admit to the gen
eral circulation a little of '.he poison,
which soon or late must reach it. When
the heart begins to fail the ligature
should be tightened again more stimu
lants given, and so the poison which re
main may be fought m detail.
As wo stated in our last issue we
were unvoidably prevented from experi
encing the pleasure of being at German
ton on the 4th. An extract from a full
report of the celebration in tho Greens-
Jjoro Workman says:
"The Fourth of July, tho completion
of a railroad to a certain point, the arri
val of tho first train, a turn out with flags
and music, lemonade, pies and ging. r
bread—these things combined stir the
patriotism of ibis county from the bottom
and nearly every body oouieu to the fure.
One gentleman, who gave bis age as 34,
told our imormant yesterday that though
he lived only two and a half miles away,
be had nevor boen to Gcrmanton before."
DOCTOR McGLYNN.
The Church of Home is far from be
ing on tbe wane. It is true the tempor
al power of the Pope has boen reduced "
ro the city of Rome, but he would still
dictate to his faithful throughout the '
earth on political doctrines. Indeed as
a writer has eloquently remarked, "Let
ltoine, stripped of her last penny and
her last acre, go forth to the world as a a
mendicant and a martyr, who knows
but the nations forgetful of the wrongs
they suffered at her hands, and pitying
bur misfortunes, may yet be seized with
a
a fit of penitence, and laad her back in j
triumph to her seat of nuuieiit domin
ion '• t
The Pope has just demonstrated his |
interference in the political opinons of his
faithful by excommunicating Dr. Mc-
Glynn of St Shephcn's church, New -
York. The circumstances of this case
are very clearly stated in an editorial in i
the Lenoir To/nc from we copy |
"Lust fall the United Labor Party
nominated Henry George for Majorat' .
that city. Dr. McGlynti was a stroug |
personal friend of Henry George, a Pro
testant, and a believer iu his laud tlieo- |
ry, ami ho supported him for the May
oralty. He mi.de a speech or two and
gave bis influence in his behalf, although
he did uot preach these views from the '
pulpit. Iu the midst of the campaign 1
Archbishop Corrigan wrote to him aud
forbade him to take any further action
in that direction anil he refused to obey.
About the tune of the election I'r. Mc
tilynn was suspended as a priest at St.
Stephen's because of his disobedienoc.
The pri-ist protested and declared that
lilia Archbishop had no right to go be
yond spiritual matters and to dictate to
hiui what Ins politics should be. * 1 A
great majority of thinking, conservative
| people who altogether disbelieve in the
land doctrine taught by Dr. McGlyun,
still sympathize with him in his unequal
tight with Home Though his doctrines
are erroneous, ho is a free-born Ameri
can citizen and has a right to his opin
, ions and ought not to be bullied out of
them by the Pope of Home, a foreign
po'enato, who has no right to dictate to
any American how he shall vote or how
he shall not vote. Such a strong pro
. test has gone to the Pope from liishnps
. of his own church and from all classes
, of Catholics against this cruel act of
. excommunication lh.it it is thought that
, lie may be aft aid to launch h s thunder
forth."
Mr. John K. Kuckei one of the fore
most reprcseutators of Virginia is spok
of in connection with a cabinet appoint.
) uient. Tho following interesting inci
dent took place at tho dinner of tho Al
umni of Yale College, which institution
honored itself at its late commencement
when it conferred the honorary degree
( of L 1,. D. on Mr. Tucker. A tele
gram from New Haven to the N. Y.
World says ;
F "At the Alumni dinner J . ltandolph
Tucker, of Virginia, spoke of the part
taken by Virginia and Connecticut iu
the Federal convention and of the
: pleasant relations which had always ex
isted bctweeu the two States, arid clos
j ed by extending Virginia's greeting to
. Yale, which had been scut through him.
( As ho sat down President Dwight rose
ucd said :
"Yale University aud tho State of
Connecticut extend tho right hand of
f fellowship to old Virginia."
"Mr Tucker sprang to his feet and,
grasping President Dwight by the band,
attempted to reply, but tho outburst of
applause was so cntbusiastii that lie
stood several minutes holding the Presi
dent by the han;l before he could bo
• heard. Mr. Tucker thanked President
Dwight for his noble sentiment and pray
ed God to bless the uuiorr of Connecti
cut aud Virginia and Yalo University.
This exchange of fraternal greetings and
1 striking manner in whioh it was carried
- out croated the greatest enthusiasm and
■ most favorable coimnont."
Dr. J. W. Jones, of Tarboro, prcsi
, dent of tho State Hoard of Health, in
in his annual address before the session
. of tho Board and the Medical Society
says :
'•The mortuary loss oi North Caroli
na by typhoid fever annually is sufficient
to populate a city of the dead as nearly
' as largo as your beautiful city of the
I liviug, many of whom to-day, instead of
. sleeping in their graves, should be liv
ing, loving, acting—fathers, mothers
and children."

painless and gentle action upon
the functions of digestion and
assimilation. Those elements
of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
waste matters (the ashes of life's
fire) which unremoved, poison
and kill, are expelled from the
body through the bowels, kid
neys and skin. The weak and
prostrated nerves - are quieted,
toned and fed by the purified
blood. As the result, health,
with its enjoyments, blessings
and power, returns to the suf
ferer who had, perhaps, aband
oned all hope of ever seeing
