Isaac Wiiiiams tells this snake story to the Uniontown Xtwa-Stainlard, writing from Dunbar: A few d.-ys aqo Samuel Lowry, who works with me at the furnace, asked me to go with him and he would show me a snake den. Sam is an old hand at the tusir-'.-s-. He took with him a small hand firJi and hammer and a liberal supply of dynamite and drug store whisky. About five miles back in the mountain from the furnace we found the den. Sam proceeded to drill a small hole in a kind of a fiat rock that lay by itself in a small clear ed space. When Sam had got every thing in shape we retired a short dis tance till the explosion of dynamite had shaken the snakes up ; then we proceeded to arm ourselves with a stout stick apiece and went for the snakes. As v.e came near the rork, that was now blown to pieces, I got very sick from the smell of the snakes, but Sam did not mind the smell. He just took a drink of whisky and went for the snakei. He killed forty-three that were crawling away from the rock. After the air had got a little puri fied about the place we proceeded to explore the den. Carefully rolling the heavy pieces of rock away we found a space of about ten feet square covered a foot deep with dead snakes. We got sticks with hooks on and dragged them out and counted them. There were 209 rattlesnakes and 138 copperheads, in all 347. I never knew before this that two kinds of snakes would stay in the same den. Any one wanting to prove the truth of this so called snake story, let him come to Dunbar and I will show him the remains of the snakes.. When New York is driven by the female suffragists to cast about for a non-partisan Governor they will miss it if they go by the residence of Sena tor Hill. If the weak sex needs a strong prop he occurs to us as .1 very proper prop, since his political identity is now national conundrum.

The emancipation of woman is not the most important business of the re maining years of this century. The emancipation of business from the trammeis of restrictive legislation the right of a man to work and labor without interference by another the right of every man, partnership or corporation to conduct ms business according to his own views, and with such laborers and workmen as he chooses to employ, are much more important problems than the question of the ballot for women. The same laws in relation to person and property apply to single men and to single women. The same rate of taxation applies to the same values, no matter who is the owner. No act of Assembly or of Congress can fix the rate of wages for any kind of labor can cither give work or take it away. As to some fancied restrictions accom panying marriage, ail that need be said about them is that, in so far as they may exist, they are voluntarily as sumed by the parties, and therefore complaint is without justification. No one is compelled to marry, and every person is allowed to make his or her living in any trade, profession, occupa tion or calling suitable to the indivi dual genius or taste. In these mat ters the present condition of things can well remain, and ought to remain. In the meantime the first thing for the women to emancipate themselves from is the skirt an i all its abomina tions. If ;t roust, in obedience to cus tom continue to exist in the parlor &nd the ball-room, so be it ; but for all out door and work-a day uses and pur poses, trousers, buttoning tightly round the ankle, and skirts half-way below the knee, are the coming cos tume. The bust, neck and head can be dressed to suit the taste, form or figure. With that work, business, ex ercise or pleasure cannot only be done and performed, but enjoyei When this dress reform has come, and come to stay, then the women can dispense with the ballot, for they will have all things their own way. There are a few subjects in relation to the emancipation of men and busi ness to which attention is bereby called. For instance : Why should not the scientific men of the world agree up on and have adopted and used by them one make of thermometer? Those in use differ so much that it is a great inconvenience to use them interchangeably and, to many people, impossible. The Fahrenheit zero is utter nonsense. It marks no appre ciable point. Doubtless for practical purposes zero should be the freezing point of water. That is visible and k no wable to everybody. To begin at nothing and go so many degrees be low it or above it is idiotic. For instance : Why should the commercial nations of the world allow the coinage of so many different kinds and values of gold and silver money ? The clerkly labor in custom-houses of reducing the one to the other is im mense and expensive ; the inconven ience to travellers and shop keepers is enormous. You may call coins what you please, but have all the pieces coined of the same commercial value, and no time or trouble or temper would be wasted in purchasing and making change. From San Francisco to St. Petersburg every thing would be easy and commercial. For instance : Why should there be in the business world such an in finity of weights and measures? Troy weight, apothecaries weight, avoir dupois weight, dry measure, liquid measure, long measure, cloth measure, the nail, the palm, the hand, the span, two soits of cubits, a statute mile and a geographic mile ; and various and sundry other of these foolish distinc tions, often without differences. There is a scientific method of fixing all measures of distance, time, amount and weight, and scientific men, in a congress for that and other similar purposes could agree, determine and establish one uniform system, based upon scientific data, and oblige all school books, tables, and teachers to conform to such rule, by statutes of all the civilized world, if necessary. For instance : Can there be any thing more lediculous than to submit to and continue the mile measure which obtains in the world as follows : VAHP. f YARD Ariiblan mile i!,H Italian if, iKHii-mlan 10.1H7 I Iri-bant. 6,Vhi It'iiYiindv tl.lHI I.utliftnUn .T Oldt-nburn M l'l'inluu palsanz. .

Three vacancies in senator ial representation, one each from Montana, Wyoming, and Washington, makes 88 Senators the fall representa tion at present. Those who deem themselves competent to size up the next senate are by no means able to figure out anything like a political revolution. All parties are claiming that they will hoid their own. On the 3d of March, 1805, the terms of thirty members of the Onited States Senate will expire. Its a little early to count upon tae successors of these thirty Senators. Since the people cannot reach them directly, they are safe from the disturbing influence! which Congressmen are so often troubled with. If the United States Senator can make his peace and calling sure in his State legisla ture, either through persuasive boodle or christian endeavor, he needs not bother his head about the so-called sovereign will or sovereign power. And as a general thing he don't. Foreigners Threaten the Destruction of Mining Property. The general merchandise store of the Whitebreast Fuel Company, at Ladd, Illinois, was looted on the 8th. inst. by a mob of twelve hundred alien miners from Spring Valley. The stock was valued at $30,000 and will be a complete loss, such articles as could not be carried away being de stroyed. The mob was composed of Lithuanians, Poles and Italians, being of the same class that caused the de predations at Spring Valley. The strikers became so emboldened over their success that they made known their plans for the future. It is the sacking of the buildings of coal companies, the destruction of the ma chinery and the burning of the mines. This work, the miners assert, will be accomplished before long. How about the old-fashioned prophecy for a dry spell (because Mary didn't get her skirts wet on the Second of July) as against the moist and copyrighted prophecy of our scientific and erratic weather-makers. It is only a question of time with the scientific rain-makers and weather makers who presume to shed their light before they get it by telegram from somewhere. It"s just a little amusing to see how the politicians with high aspirations are squirming and twisting to keep in to available shape as the political in fluences of the strike are now develop ing, and as the time for casting about for the most available candidates draws near. There are several Gov ernors that we have noticed in partic ular who don't know when they are comfortable, politically speaking. The Eltnira Gazette reveals this new parliamentary rule, discovered in Ireland, which it would be well to put into practice in York State when the female suffragists begin to suffer : " And now," said the new secretary, " yez may all rize, an' whin I call the roll ivry wan who is prisint may sit down ; all the rist remain sthandin." Coxey, having grown famous at commonwealing, spoke to strikers for two hours on thsi2th instant. He advised all to march to Washington and present their grievances before Congress, if the Coxey movement should land him in Congrefs he will Uigi ea credit for some cunning after all. Tall Cirls and Short Opinion has always been very much divided upon the subject of women's height. The novelists and designers of fashion putes incline to the view that the female form divine should be somewhat of the altitude of a life- guardsman. Tall women have un questionably been in the ascendant in more senses than one of late. It ha been expected of us to be very much nearer six feet than five, and we have very successfully contrived to fulfill this expectation. Notwithstanding. there is a great deal to be said on the other side. There are those who will declare that there is more fascination, more charm, more vivacity about a little woman. She is, they say, more energetic, and beside her the average young man does not feel the draw backs of early and incessant cigarette smoking and the degeneracy of his sex: she can coax and pout and flounce into pretty little passions with greater grace than a "daughter of the Gods, she needs a protecting arm in a crowd, and she does not take up so much room in a railway carriage, or dwarf her partners in the ball room. There never was yet a little woman who could not command attention and flirt five times as furiously as a tall one. and no amount of height ever produced more dignhy than a snail woman can assume on occasion. It is. of course, by comparison that everything is thus or thus, and so it is only when judged by the standard of sgme excejtionally tall sister that a short woman will permit herself to be so described. She will always indig nantly disclaim a brevity of inches under any circumstances, though no woman ever yet objected to the epi thet of '-little woman," used as a term of affection. Lady's Pictorial. The Dcf Langhed. The proprietor of a Third Avenue store owns a little black kitten that cultivates a habit of squatting on its haunches, like a bear or kangaroo, and then sparring with its fore paws as if it had taken lessons from a pugi list. A gentleman took into the store the other evening an enormous black dog, half Newfoundland, half collie, fat, good-natured and intelligent. The tiny black kitten, instead of bolting at once for shelter, retreated a few paces, sat erect on its hind legs, and "put its fists" in an attitude of defi ance. The contrast in size between the two was intensely amusing. It reminded one of Jack the Giant Kill er preparing to demolish a giant. Slowly and without a sign of ex citability the huge dog walked as far as his chain would allow him, and gazed intently at the kitten and its odd posture. Then, as the comical ity of the situation struck him, he turned his head and shoulders around to the spectators, and if an animal ever langhed in the world that dog assuredly did, then and there. He neither barked nor growled, but in dulged in a low chuckle, while eyes and mouth beamed with merriment. Xeu York Telegram. A Flying-Machine Needed- It is quite likely that in the fulness of time the Almighty will give some insignificant creature something still with held from the scientific mind, namely, brains enough to invent a revolutionary flying machine. Who can comprehend the revolution it would create or the iniaence a flying machine would exert commercially, financially and morally ? , 1 hen, don t you see, we could easily sail away above the railroad diffi culties on terra Jirma. Then, too, the striker and the bomb-thrower would have to shoot high in order to hit the innocent passengers while en route, and who would prefer for sake of peace to travel on their own hook and conveyance. But what -will become of railroads in that event, do you ask ? Wny, they will all drown in their watered stock, and then their real and everlasting trouble with devilish firemen and engineeis will just begin.

VTho Pays th e Damages ? aasssassM Some presumably competent judge now estimates that it will take on a rough guess about eight million dollars to pay the damages done by the strikers in Chicago alone. This guess is made in the absence of any detail ed report and does not include the national bill of expense for transporta tion of troops, &c. Lawyers in the employ of railroads arc already busily engaged drawing up claims for financial redress from the State and county authorities whose jurisdiction covers the territory upon which mob-rule was permitted, or at least not prevented. The county of Cook, Illinois, and the city of Chicago will want to levy a pretty high rate of taxation to meet the demand which is likely to be put upon them through the torch and the general tear- up of the reckless and wrecking stnekers. Had the President not wisely fore stalled the possibility of national censure by sending in troops u .r .1.- ..u. .11.. ..i:r ! ucioic tuc ciiiuu9ia3iii.ctuy iuuiuci cm Governor Altgeld wanted them, it is quite possible the National Treasury would have been called upon through Congress to help foot the bill of dam ages. It will be some weeks no doubt be fore the definite amount of damages can be told. But considering the hun dreds of cars burned, containing pro miscuous freight for which the railroad companies are held liable, there is cer tainly quite a bill of damages for some body to pay. No doubt some definite plan of procedure will soon be determined upon by the railroad companies as well as the individuals whose goods were burned while in transit and in care of the railroads. If the railroad companies make good all losses (as the courts would be apt to compel under ordinary circumstances) they will do better than they have done in the past where perishable goods were lost by shippers because of the cars hauling them being tied up by strikers. Whatever can be squeezed out of rail road companies through the courts the people losing their goods while in transit will likely get. What can't be thus squeezed out will not be gotten. The people will sue the railroads and the railroads will sue Cook county and Chicago city, most likely, and it will be a fine mess of litigation before they get through with !?3,ooo,ooo wjrth of damages.

Greenhalge has issued an order to his staff that they must not apj-ear in his official company mounted on horses that have their tails docked. The governor is a humane man, and when he tried to buy a horse a short time ago the man told him it was next to impossible to get a decent animal that didn't have his tail docked. " Tlien," said his Excellency, " Hi walk." The practice of docking horses' tails is being carried on to a large ex tent in Lowell. The Humane Society offers a reward of $50 for the arrest and conviction of any one performing this brutal act. Under a law now be fore the legislature any person mutila ting a horse may be sent to jail for a year or fined $300, and the finding ot" a horse with a freshly-docked tail in the stable of any person shall be suffi cient evidence to prove a case. Nearly all the so-called swell turn-outs in Lowell are now drawn by horses whose tails have been cut. Gov. Greenhalge's opposition to the practice of docking the tails of horses does credit not only to his humaiity but to his common se?i.ie. -The fazh ion of mutilating these helpless quadrupeds is rather less rcsv-cta ble, if anything, than the tnotnw which prompt Congo belles to 1" w brass rings in their noses.
