Thir-teea years age Andrew Miller, a farm laborer, 40 years ef age, proposed marriage to the daughter, 17 years old, of a shiftless man who lived near this place. She was attractive, aad bore a good character. She bad a lover named George Smith.

She refused Miller's offer because ahe disliked htm. Miller told ber father that be would support blm aa long as be lived If tbe girl became his wife. The father compelled ber to marry Miller. They lived a life of continual etiife. They feed three children, girls, bow of tbe ages ot 11, 8, and 6 years.

Miller was jeeloue of George Smith, who continued working ia the Bslgbborbood. The attentions of Smith and Mrs, Miller to one another bad become common, talk. This taereaeed tbe bitter-Bess that existed betweea Mrs. Miller and ber husband.1 On Friday morning, of last week Mary Miller, the oldest daughter, accompanied by ber little sister Jennie, appeared at the boose of William Hornier, a neighbor, and told blmj that her father bad killed himself, and was banging in the barn. Hornier and others went to Miller's barn.

The old man was hanging front a beam by a rope, which was paased twice around tbe beam and tied under It in a lumberman's knot Miller was In bis stocking feet A xair of overshoes belonging to blm were at one aide of the barn, as if they bad been taken off and carefully placed there. Miner's jaw was broken, end there was a bad cut on the back of his On the outside of the barn there was blood in the snow, and marks as If some one 4 gtaegered about. A Jtlank in tbe barn floor gave evidence of bar-ng been taken up. It was hoisted by aome of the men present A child'a apron was found beneath it, covered with blood. It was plain that Miller could not have inflicted the injuries npon himself, and then hanged himself.

The belief was general that he had been murdered. An investigation was commenced. Mrs. Miller and ber daughter Mary went to Hornler's on Thursday evening. Soon afterward George Smith also appeared there.

Little Mary iller swore before the Coroner that when she and her mother left'Hornler's house George Smith came out after them, and went off toward the village, without speaking to them. George Smith, she said, bad not been to their bouse for a long time. The aDron that was found belonged to ber. Her mother, ber father, and ber little sisters went to bed about 9 o'clock. Next morning tbey missed their father.

Her mother ant them to look for him, and they found him hanging; in tha barn. Jennia Miller and Mrs. Miller told substantially the same story, Mrs, Miller string that her husband bad frequently threatened to kill himself. The suspicion against George Smith and Mrs. Miller was so strong that they were both arrested.

Day before yesterday a negro named John Brown was arrested on susploion of being also concerned in the crime. Smith and Mrs, Miller -were lodged In jail at Wllliamsport Tbe children were taken la charge by relatives. On Wednesday, Mary Miller, the eldest and Jennie, the second, were visited by Constable It was the general impression that they bad told a made-np story at the investigation. Upon being charged with this they began to cry, and admitted that they had not told the truthr Mary then told the officer that George Smith had overtaken ber and ber mother when they came from Hornler's house. Her mother and Smith talked to-: gather for some time In a low tone.

When she and her mother reached home her father was holding Jennie and her youngest sister on his lsp and singing to them. Soon afterward they all went to bed. Her father said to her mother that he wanted an early breakfast in the morning. She said she would get it for him. In the night she was awakened by a noise.

She looked up and saw George Smith in the i room. He sat down on the side ot her mother's bed. Her mother had '-her clothes on. Smith said, "Miller is hanging in the Her mother asked him who put him; there, and he replica; "ltisaone." tie went down stairs and Mrs. Miller followed him.

When mother went down stairs," said the little girl. "Jennie raised no In bed and said. 'I believe George Smith did that, or be wouldn't have come up here and told I thought Jennie was asleep. She said she bad heard some one hallo Ohl in the night in a way that made her a' afraid, and 'she bad covered ud ber bead with the quilts. In the morning mother said to me, Go out to the barn and see.

Smith may have told me a I was afraid to go down alone. Mother and Jennie went with me. We saw papa's body banging In the barn and hurried back to the bouse. Mother told us we must not say a word to any one, or she would cut our tongues out We cried and said we would all be Put in jail. We liked our papa, for be was kind to us.

He brought us a nice pail of milk Thursday night We did not like George Smith. He was always coming around mamma when papa was away. I heard blm say once he would knock papa's brains out some time." Jennie Miller, 8 years old, said she beard her father's voice In the middle of the night crying "Oh!" several times, out doors. She called to her mother, and asked her what that noise was. Her mother ordered her to keep still and go to sleep.

la the morning," Jennie says, "mother cried hard before she got up. Mary and I cried when we went out to look for papa, for we knew be was dead. We saw him through the cracks, hanging In the barn, and be was all bloody. We could not eat any breakfast that morning." Mrs. Miller and Smith had loudly protested their Innocence of Miller's -death.

Smith cave a circumstantial account of his doings and movements on Thursday night After the little girls bad riven their story to Constable Stevenson, Mrs. Miller was visited In ber cell and in-f orn ed of the) fact She then broke entirely down, and gave the following account of her husband's murder "Last Fall George Smith made threats 'that he would put Miller out of our way so he could marry me. but I persuaded him aot to. On Thursday night, when he overtook me and my little girl, he again said he had made up bis mind to kill Miller, but did not aay how be Intended to ao it He said tnen 1 would lead a happier life. I told him he bad better not think anv mora a bant that When he left me he said he was going Dome, was awakeaea in the Bight by Miller getting up, and going one of the house.

I be- eama trreatiy excited, lor 1 was afraid Smith bad come back aad would earrv out bia threat. It was a terrible suspense for me from the time that Miller went out until I heard some one running toward the house. I went down stairs, and Smith came in at the kitchen door. I want a he said. 'I've put Miller out of the He got a rope out of the closet, and ran out I went back up stairs.

He came back by and by and said Miller is banging in the He said be hoped the matter would not come out on him, but I told him I was afraid it would. He aaidNhe guessed it wouldn't if he didn't go away. There was blood on his clothes. He said folks would think Miller banged himself. Mary cried and said we would both be put In jail.

I said if I was I would never live to come out Smith said that after Miller was buried we would go away. He said that he had made a noise on tbe aide of his barn thinking it would call Miller out Pretty soon he saw him come stooping along. He bit blm a knock with a club, and then came and got the rope and bung him in the barn. I loved Smith, but since thia happened I think he must have a very bard heart'' After obtaining Mrs. Miller's confession ot her knowledge of the crime, the fact was carried to Smith.

For a time he denied that there waa aay truth la what she said, hut finally completed the horrible story of the murder with his statement "I was at Miller's from 12 till 3 o'clock oa Thursday Miller was al work. Mrs. Miller sn crested, while I waa there, that I put Miller out of the war. I said, 'Kate, It will be found eat oa 'Ko. it won't' ahe said you can da it this very night Sued around In the orchard till 1 1 erl 2 o'clock, and then make a racket la the barn, i ll lav ia bed and listen.

She aaid I would not be found out for Millar had been threatening to hang himself, aad people would think Be had.

JOHW H. J5TRAHAN POIlfTS OUT 80JC1 OF ITS! BAD TEATUBE8 MAKIKO P0LIT- 1CAL TOOLS A fIN UTiaiflON, CHAMtfS roa It being lktimated that Mr. John EL Strahan, Controller's Kelly's counsel and trusted legal adviser. had express I aa opinion ad vers to tha proposed new charter or this City, a reporter of The Timcs called apoa it. Strakaa to learn his views.

That gentleman is found consulting a jeopy of the bill, and markini those changes ia Itwhieh had been mads by th Beast Committee On Cities. In response to a question Mr. Strahaa said, with some eaergy "I do not mow who drew up tfilsbill or who is behind It, at i I care just as little bnt I know it Is tha most dai msbls piece of legislation ever proposed for this Clt r. From beginning to end the bill 1 thoroughly I ad. There Is not a clause or provision ot this meaa ire, from th first section to th last, of which it can be truthfully said that the City would be benefited by its enactment Into law.

It main purpose is to an able influences not manatlhg from th choice th people of the City to control the machinery ot the 1 unicipal Government for political and personal em s. For some years past there has been a growing eling in this City that the management of Munisipi 1 affairs should be what is called nonpartisan i 11 at they should be conducted on business prlncli les, snd political distinctions ignored. In the fac i of this, tha Eepnblicaa through a I epuhlieaa Legislature, and with a Republican Gi vernor, propose enact Into a law such a bill as thti Our last charter did net emanate from th nurast sources, but this on shows, if It be ao-eepted, that we are going from bad to worse. The thii section of tnie bill, as ameaded, creates two boi rds on a Board of Appointment and another a ard of Finance. The Bosrd of Appoint, sunt is ade rics to place what is called the patronage of the City aader complete control to the most objeetionabi a ot political Influences.

The present appointing agency has not bean found to work smoothlv. L'hs Msyor hss been too independent for the politiel ins. The politicians wanted all the patronac they could aot get it s- long as the Mayor sto in tho way. and ther propose to capture it ti rough tho ageney of this Hereafter thtr must 1 1 no Independent member In tbe Board of Appoisti tent This board must be composed ot political too Is -subservient instruments to Influences listing out side the Government. If an independent man get into this board one feeling the responsibility of the truth ha la called npon to execute he would hatter this machine device and render it as unworka ale as the present system.

And such will be tha ate ot every device which has for its ex-elusive obj rct the securing of some personal and political at vantage, and not the well-being of the Oovernmen I ot the City. I predict that a year Will not have pi seed before the device of this bill will be found aa unsatisfactory to its promoters as the system whi th now exists. But a one feature than this has got a place la thia bill. 1 sppoinlinc board fat to bo selected because of i subserviency to political Influence. The memtx rs of this board these subservient tools aad instrai isota are to be vested, in addition to the appointing power, with the controlling Influence ia tne Board Finance, since they constitute a majority of this 1 oard, and upon this latter board devolvee th duty of making th appropriations for th various pun oses of tho government ot tha City.

Sine the esent Bosrd of Estimate and Apportionment was instituted it has, oa th whole, worked faithfully In the public Interest. If we look at th estimal tt of the various department officers for the last se ren years, showing th amount which they have ear after year insisted upon as indispensable to in their several departmeata and, compare these vith the final aetion of the Hoard of Estimate npo i tuem, it will be seen that the independence of tbi i members of the board has been instru-, mental in i tving to the tax-payers during this period aa agcregai of over 17. OOO.OOO. The new system, even altho igh only one new member is added to the board as i hat member come in conjunction with two others who are to be selected with special reference to teir serviceable cbaraetar in th matter of appolutmo its, will weaken, if it doe not destroy, the indepe idence ot th apportioning power for the futar. Let ui look at some minor features of th measure.

The first section provides tor a Board ff Aldermen consisting of 2d members. A President of this boa is to bo elected by all th members a Viee-Presli eat ia to be elected by th minority, which shal differ on State Issues from the majority. Now, supp the board, whea elected was found to stand to 12. Such a thing might very well happen at next election- What arc the members going tod I Tbey might If they agreed to do so, elect theli President but th election of a Vice-President nnder thia hill aa impossibility. A minority Is absolutely essential toy' tne election oi this omeer, ana there would be nd minority.

I This provision ot th bill, if enacted id it present shape, might defeat the election of both President Snd Vice-President, aad in th case mentioned ther certainly could be no Vlee-President. "A subsequent section provides that these AlderX! A 1 j.h wta i intT, a vi fvwptrjgirj in President snd Vice-President $3,000. The- first question hlsh suggests itself is, What are th duties of this boi rd I They hav nothing to do with th Mwcrac th City, for that Is given absolutely Into the oatrol ot Commissioners of Public Works. 1 hey have nothing to say about th re-paving of itreeta, for that la also given to the Public Works al eolataly for street north of the Harlem and for lose south ot it th Aldermen may approve, bn they cannot rejector vary or modify. Retulatln and grading new streets belongs x-eluaively th Public Work north of the Harlem, aad on the West Side, north of Fifty-ninth-stieet.

hat duties are left tor th board to per-form. If hi bill has apt reduced It to the position of a mi sly ornamental board. It has vary nearly don so. I say nothing ot th political feature of an annual le rtion of an Aldsrman, betides an Assembly, man In rery district. It might be said, however, that It only provides another opportunity for that srstem of which th bill seems mainly designed to extend snd confirm.

I "Th seventh section of this bill create anbst-. tlally a neW Fire Department. All to powers of th present department are vested la a board ot three Commisaieeers. Thia bill legislates out ot office one of these Commissioners: but in doing this, th trainers 1 th bill antiraly overlooked the fact that they hare ly abolished th old board and created a new one Through this oversight they hav omitted from tho action any clans transferring tne power aow xn ised by the present board of three to their new boar 1 of two. What tha eonoeqaenees woald be is appi rent.

A to th transfers of the Excise to th Polio I do not know whether th public will consider I hat the present Police Board has so Veil discharged iu duties as to suggest th vesting in it ot large additional and discretloasry powers. -The salary clause of this bill la. to a largo extent, a sham. If any tax-payw imaain that th contempt ited reductions will aot be counterbalanced a hundred fold by the aatioa ot th new Board of Finance ia suthorixing unnecessary expenditure oa political lonsidcrallooa for political purposes ia th various department of th City, will find, if five the hubieet attention ia the future, how griev-oaslyh las been mistaken.

Running second to Una In a selling race, four days afterward, he was prepared for the Summer Handicap, one mile and a half, when he was, favored with 100 pounds, receiving weight from every horse In the race, and won by two laagths. He thea ran second, with tb tarn weight, to Danieheff, lathe Grand Union Prix, one mile and three-quarters, the latter giving him 13 pounds, with gelding allowance. At th same weights they came together again in the People's Lin Handicap, two mil, whn th table war turned, and Franklin won by two lengths. He was then beaten a length by Clara IX, to whom was giving 9 pounds, in th Get Away Handicap, two miles and a quarter.

It was this race that brought him forward a a prominent candidate for th si aturity Stakes, for whisa twenty to on had been offered against him, without takers, early in th season. Franklin's next effort was in the Brighton Cup, at Cosey Island, when Bramble, Fortuaa, and Mintisr were hit competitors. The race was undoubtedly won by Franklin, but was given to Bramble, despite tb indignant protests ot every honorable turfman present. Franklin's twelfth effort was in tha Ocean Pier Handicap, at Prospect Park, at the Fall meeting ef th Coney Ial-ana Jockey Clan, and he closed th season by winning the Maturity Stakes. In which his brother waa beaten by Monarchist In 1872.

Thus he started timet, winning four races, wasseeosd seven times, snd secured third piece once. His winsingt amounted to 9. He will be found in th cop races this year, and in all th principal all-aged events, and he will be hard to beat. Tb 4-year-old string consist of three, Including the eh.

Among the numerous forms of domestio tyranny which people love to Inflict upon' themselves thsr are few greater thaa that which Is sometimes involved ia the possession of a carriage.

It Is no uncommon thing to see man who have spent one-half ot their lives in longing for this luxury pass th remaining half la a state bordering oa atter miry, arising from aa almost iavlaeibla reluetanc to us the very thing for which they have so ardently wished. Tha motives for this reluetanc are somewhat difficult to explain. It doe net aria, as a rule, from pur hnmantiy, for many men who will not thir own horses te be overworked will think nothing of ordering a fly whenever aa xeeptlonally long or ardaoua journey has to be performed. Nor doee it necessarily aria from aay wish to deprive on' family or belonging of pleasure or recreation, for where such a wish Waa possible, the carriage wonld nevr hav been purchased, i It is generally dne to an exaccerated Mtimate which al) ma are more or less pron to form ot the value of their own horse, and to a consequent apprehension of the results of too mach work in the shape of veterinary surgeon' bins. This feeling, if allowed to grow unchecked by considerations ot necessity, seldom tsils to attain to a pitch which, as hav already observed, niall little short ot actual misery on the proprietor.

Let us suppose the caa of a man living in the country who has brought up a tolerably large family on anything but a larg lnoom. He baa bad a somewhat hard struggle, but his principal difficulties ar bow tided ever. He finds that advancing years Involve an advancing bill for hired conveyance, and why should he aot possess his owa earriag I It will merely be the actual coat of the hone and th vehicle; for hie garden ia email, tn gardener aa-noose hi ability to fulfill th double doty, there la a atable-and coach-house standing invitingly empty, and there is a natch of meadow an which the horse can grax. After much hesitation and discussion, a brougham is probably determined on a the most suitable for use both by day and night, and for a time all goes well. The formidable arrear ot calls which had gradually accumulated ia quickly cleared Offj dinner-parties and dance become more frequent, aad every one is highly Before long, however, a change is perceptibl.

Th gardener or eoachmaa begin to find tha night-work Irksome and to resect it; but he has sufficient sagacity to put this objections on the cor of solicitude for th bona, not for himself. Th animal, says, is kept waiting toe long in th cold when tbe carriage is ordered to take up, and, unless this is altered, be cannot be responsible for the consequences. Some slight resistaaa Is perhaps attempted; but th mn hss got np his eas, th master has not. Th msster Is silenced, if not convinced, makes th first fatal concession, and gisps in. From that honr tha family might, as far as pleasure I Is concerned, almost as well give np colas out at all.

1 tis not enough, when they do go to a party, that th earriag is ordered to take them homo at an unconscionably early honr; for nil 10 minutes before it is due the unfortunate owner Is fidgeting about, taking furtive peeps through curtains and shutters, and making himself snd vrvbodv ls generally uncomfortable. In vara do the girls, supported bv their mother, plead that "tho programme is barely balf over, tht their best dances are yet to come, snd that their horse can bear waiting as well as other people's he Is deaf alike to persuasion and at length th family ar fala.for verv peace sake, to tear themselves away, almost wishing tbey had never toss Emboldened by success, th coachman next determines to have a vete put apoa going out at night at all, and again he carries bis point. He informs hi master that the horse is rapidly losing condition, and that it 1 too delicate to stand night air. in addition to which he hinU that when he does go out be is not properly treated. Being asked for explanations on this last point, he coolly proceeds to demolish the reputation of all the ttableajwithin a radius of 10 miles.

'So th earriag goes out no more at night it place being taken by a fly, much to th delight of the yoang ones, who can now enjoy their parties in peace. Finding himself master of the! situation, th man carries tha war a stop further and assails one of the most Important and useful functions of a carriage namely, that ot going to and from the railway station with visitors, or even members of the family. In the end the functions ef the earriag are limited to an occasional afternoon drive for the purpose of shopping or visitino. tho driv being performed at tbe exhilsrating rate of about four miles aa honr, not Including sundry stoppages to rest the horse whenever a gentle gradient, dignified with th nam of hill, is safely surmounted, to accomplish which feat the occupants, including the ladles, are made to turn out and drag their dresses over a mile or so of dusty road. On a certain day Paterfamilias will" announce at lunch that the horse has not been ont for three days, and requires an airing.

Tbe family arrangements for tho afternoon have already been made, bnt must now be civen np. a solemn and uninteresting drive substituted. Th next morning brines an anexpeeted invitation to a Dlenie or afternoon party at a distance, and application ia at one mad for th carriage. Not at all "tho horse was out yesterday, and may hav to go ont again to-morrow," is tbs reply. If th unfartnnat owner Is geod-nstured.

a fly is promised if not, the young people retire discomfited, asking each other, not without reason, what on earth Is the use of a carriage which can only be used when they do not want it, and never when thy do. As time goat en matters become worse snd worse. Hia annual bill for fiya has meanwhile gradually mounted up to iu old figure, it aot even higher i bnt he can neither bring himself to sell hi carriage nor to use It. It remain a dead weight oa his hands, snd he ends by wishing, heartily that he had stuck te hiring, and never bought one at all. THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS.

The California Republican State Committee has Issued sn address to the people, calling attention to the approaching State Convention, and saying: "It is not necessary to remind Republicans that th standard-bearer ot the party In the coming Presidential contest will represent law, order, equal civil right to all, and protection to th life and property of every class and in every part of this TJaion. That, judging tb future by th past, tb glory ot th whol country rests in th keeping of th Republican Party. That for 20 years It ha stood st th balm ot the ship of Stat, and in th mightiest truggl our Republic has vr experienced tbat ship was not stranded.

TSBOXOS Of WOBSBIPXBS ASTIK IX THB XOBKTXOf-OLD TBIIOTT CROWDED FROM CHAXCIL BAIL TO BXTRAKeX IMPOSWa SgBTlCEB IW THB CATHEDBAL, Tb cloudy weather which ushered in Easter Sunday had ao perceptible effect ea the atteadaaee at the (high celebration ef holy Communion la Trinity Church yesterday morning Long before 10.3Q, the hoar appelated for the eervieo. the space la the body et the church set apart for straagera was filled so completely that tha scores of ladies sad gentlemen wh were stsndlng had searealy room to move their arms.

Thea the mala doors of old Trinity were closed, aad guarded by four policemen, who allowed Bopersoa to eater. Members of the eharehaad their special frieada. wboae.vews were reserved for them, catered, by the choir door, oa the Berth aide of the church, aad this, too, was guardad by three policemen, who passed only such persons as were authorised by one of the Waroeus, who was ea duty at that point. Notwithstanding all preeaatlOBs, however, a great avaay strangers sueedd In passing through this door, aad before the services began, the space ia front of tbe chancel was uncomfortably filled with ladle aad gentlemen who ware unprovided with seats. In tbe throng, however, there was a notable abasaee of th elegant toilets which usually characterise tbe services of Easter The threatening weather had prevented th ladle from appearing la their new costumes.

The decoration of tbe chancel and the altar were not nearly so elaborate as iu years past, bnt vry few floral emblem being displayed. At 10.30 the chime in th belfry rang out the peal. "Joy to the world, the Lord is com and the choristers, 36 iu a umber, soon after marched to the altar singing processional hymn No. 99, and accompanied by the Rev. Ir.

la- th course of tb ceremonies Wber' Kyriau Nleene Creed, Sanetoe, Agnus Del, and Gloria in Exeelsls, and an offertory, first were rendered by tb choristers. Dr. Dix preached a veiy brief Easter sermon, taking as his text, John 4L 42 Now, in the place where he waa crucified there wa a garden, and In tha garden a aew sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. Than laid tbey Jesus, therefore, because of the Jews' preparation day for tbe sepulchre was nigh at band." Thar is a strange bUadlng of sunlight and shadow in this world. Dr.

Dlx said, and tha children of sorrow aad joy are constantly looking each other In th face. The place where Christ was crucified was an accursed spot kept for the execution of felons. Yet in this gloomy place there was a garden in which beautiful flower spread their sweets apoa tho air. This was a Strang combination to begin with, au image of Paradise In ah accursed place. It was a strange thing te step from the duet and, skulls of that piac of misery to th blooming path of th garden.

Again, it was a Strang and contradictory thing that there should bo a grave ia this garden. Everything her seems all crossed and wrong. Tbe bad men are triumphant, and th good are hidden away in despair. The Prince ot Life killed and sealed np in the grave, and there seems be no belp in heaven or" earth. And yet," said the preacher, come hero tbi morning with happy so Is to hear the chime ring out, and te tee the ftttal procession, and the flowers which transform this place, into a garden.

Up to heaven there goes this day a flood of jov and thanksgiving, th vastness of which ao man can estlmst. have found this day that whish reconcile snd explains all contradictions. Jesus Christ is risen to-day, 'and for this we rejoice and civ thank.

Oar heart ar fnll thinking of God mercy. Let ns pray ferveatly that may be kept In th path of life, and rejoice In His presence At th conclusion ot Dr. DIx's sermon th communion was administered, and th services were brought to a clos by th recessional.

MR. KVSK1N ON SNAKES. i From tilt London Timet, March IS.

Yesterday evening the theatre of the London Institution wa densely crowded with members and visitors assembled to listen to a lecture by Mr. J. Kuaktu, entitled. Caution to Alluding to the fact that Prof. Huxley bad opened the lecture for the season In that theatre with on on Saakes," Mr.

Ruskln said he trusted the Morning antagonism between himself and that distinguished man, to whose genius, as wall aa to that ot Ma Darwin, be paid a high tribute of respect, would not be launder stood. The subject wa appropriate to St Patrick's Day. Pointing -to his diagrams, he -singled out one representing th constellation Draeo aa enlarged from a common celestial globe, to shew th smallness of tbe assistance hitherto accepted by modern aatronomv from mod- era zoology. Mr. Ai Severn bad drawn th head of the same, giving a ceneral typ of modern dracon idealism, with which waa contrasted a Greek ideal.

The lecturer ob served that the Greek who struck that eola had seen In mental visioa th seven headed serpent alsln by Hsraklec. Th names -of th saak tribe in th great language were then vividly explained and Illustrated. In Greek.

opAw meant the "sains'" creature, especially cne that see all around it i and drason, on that looks well Into a thing or person. In Latin, angvit waa the atrangleri serpens. the winding creature; relubtr, the eolllng animal. In our own Saxon, the "snsks meant the crawling creature: "adder" denoted the groveller. In illustration of tho ft reek terms, Mr.

Ruskln remarked that whea be sketched from life the head of the rattlesnake threatening, th creature seemed to be looking at him oat of th bacx or it brad. The lecturer than proceeded te peak of the nature of snakes. It wa important to snow wnat genus, or, aa na would say, gens, aaa species meant The former was accordingly defined as meaning race, and th latter aa equivalent to ami- -ly. Between nh race and famill there were always connecting links, for betweea even the eagl and tha trout tha penguin looked like a link, just as the bat was between tbe swallow and tb field-mouse. Th genera or races of snake seemed to be four.

There was th lisard whirn had dropped Its leg i th dnek which had dropped If wtags th fish which had dropped it fin rv lastly, soma sort ef honeysuckle with had stuck on. These classes were pokn of in detail. Under the last head Mr. Ras kin referred to snapdragon aad other flowers, th analogy between which and snake -had been b-. served for sges i also to carnivorous plant, umbers, aad to creepers, such ss honeysuckle woodbine, and ivy.

Th principal diagram was ara win 7 oy air. A. eevra ot part oz uiotto sculp ture of the Creation of Eve. who danger is for. told by th twining iw abov.

In concluding, Mr. Raskin, politely crediting' hia audience with all such wisdom of th serpent as waa deeirable, advised them aot te at their meat before tasting It lik the boa which swallowed Ita blanket Oa th other hand, they might do wen than (tick to wholesome Intellectual food with the tenacity of the same animal, which never lets go its nrav until it haa envalooed it as in a sack, ttwiac (ii th a a. tl.V.f, ImIhm im repeated at the same place on Tuesday evening next TiT PENSION QUESTION.

Lee. of Austin, and abuses Jones bitterly for having written it Tour of the 2d last, with petition in bebftif at tbe Weaver bill, duly received. I cannot support th bill, regarding It as Impolitic snd unjust it la tru that th Union soldier deserve much of his country for th sacrifices made and privations aa-durad In upholding ber flag and def eliding her Integrity! but his Confederal brother qnlly patriotic, howvr misguided, and his sacrifices and pri-. vations have certainly been much greater. Th 1st civil war was a national calamity, and Its results fell heavily apoa all, but especially upon tho Confederate soldier.

lie not only received depreciated paper, bat ia tb nd was Impoverished by th lost ot property. This dure without pension' to th disabled. If to hi sense ot misfortune ddd xaction to contribnte, in th form ot taxes, to tb snpport of his less nnfortunata Union brother, it would deepen hia sense ot wrong and revive hi bit. ternesa. now happily subsiding.

Tb late war wa th result of social aad political conditions for Which aeither the Union nor Confederate soldier was res po as! bis it would, therefore, be impollU nd unjust to mak a discrimination, wbieb the Weaver bill involves. I woald not however, sup- -port th bill though It should provide soaally for the Confederate soldier. Tb laws already provide lib. rally for th disabled soldier and sailors In th no- i tional cans. The policy contemplated in th Wevr bill would Involve eormo xpmditsr, about one-halt ef which would go to the opportoc officers and agenta already too aumoroa tor tae country good.
