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." i , The terms of the Wilmington Star has r boen reduced as may bo seen from the i! advertisement in these columns. It II possesses such a marked degree of indi viduality that its light will always be J readily distinguished among any number of contemporaries that competing jour " | ualisin may otter.

In no J country in the world are there I so many insane asylums filled | to overflowing, all resulting j from this alarming disease. Its | leading symptoms are these: ' Frequent or continual head 1 ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; nau- I teous eructations; the risitiu i of sour and pungent fluids ti the throat; a sense of oppress ion and fuintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake fulness and loss of sleep; dis gust with food even when weak from the need of it; sticky or slimy matter on the teeth oi in the mouth, especially on ris ing in the morning; furred and coated toiiL se; dull eyes; cold hands and feet; constipation; dry or rough tkin ; inability to fix tho mind on f.ny labor call ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore bodings and fears. All this terrible group Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) removes bv its pos itive, powerful, direct yet 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 another well day. »» « * UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL, N.
