Tho presence In Now York of tho French
visitors to tho Yorktown celebration sug
gests tho propriety of reminding tho Ameri
can public of tho efforts which tho French
nro making to keep alive- nnd pcrpctuato
tho memory of tho disinterested friendship
and generous aid given by Franco to tho
colonics of North America in their strugglo
for liberty nnd independence Sovcrnl
years ago mi association was formed In
Franco by somo of tbo most distinguished
Eonubllcam with tlio titlo of Tho Franco-
American Union under tho presidency of
Americas special lrlcnii senator iiDouiago
tho object of this association being to per
notuato tho memory of tho friendship
twecn Tranco nnd America by presenting to
tho pcopl of tho United States a colossal
statuo of Liborty to bo erected on
Bedlbos Island in tho harbor of Now
York and to servo as a beacon by moans
of an electric light to bo placed In tho
diadem on tbo head of Liberty Tho mate
rial of tho statuo is hammered copper it
will bo somo 120 feet In height aud was
designed by and is being executed under
tbo immcdlato direction of M A Bartholdi
one of tho foremost of living scnlptcrs Tlio
money for tho purposo was raised by volun
tary subscription throughout France and
tho work is steadily piogrcssing nnd will
undoubtedly bo finished by midsummer
18S3 A special act of Congress has given
Bcdloos Island for tho purposo of tho erec
tion of this statuo which is to bo placed
upon a pedestal of masonry abotit 100 feet
high A CDmralttco has been appointed
Lore Under tbo chairmanship of tho Hon
Win M Kvnrts to ralso tho necessary funds
for tbo construction of tho pedestal and to
have it built according to a design fur
nished by tho sculptor and it Is contldcntly
hoped that it will bo ready in timo for tho
reception of tho statuo in 1883 And thus
this glgantio monument willstand as nn en
during manifestation of tho friendship bo
tween tho two great republics of tbo world

A writer in n Western paper tells how ho
was blasting with gunpowder somo largo
and tough logs From ono of tho logs thus
split open crawled an enormous serpent
which was easily killed Tho man who
tellstho story continues from this point ns
follows On stretching it out I found It
to bo thlrty ono feet two inches in length
nnd tho thickest part of its body measured
twenty nino inches in circumference It
was n different species of serpent from any
I had ovor seen before Its tall was armed
with a sharp pointed and curved horn its
body wa3 variegated with altemato brown
nnd dirty yellow stripes and on closo ex
nmiaation I discovered that It had been
totally blind its eyes seemed to havo
turned lntonrcflcctionless hard bono liko
substance This explained its undecided
hesitating movements wlfcn it first canio
from tho log A strango crcaso appeared
about tho neck Just back of tbo head
which I found to bo caused by n stout
thong of leather about which tho flesh of
the serpent had grown until it had sunk
almost out of viow Cutting this thong
and removing it I found nttacbed to its
under sldo a copper plato which had here
tofore been hidden by tho body of thosnako
and on ono sido of It was scratched D
Boono April 15th 177U I split tlio log
in two nnd ncir tho lower end of the hol
low I found whero tbero had onco been nn
opening but long years ago it had been
closed up with o plug mado of oak wood
about and over which tho inaplo had grown
until it was almost concealed Tho dead
appcarauco of tho small portion visible of
tbo oak plug was all that called my atten
tion to Its oxistenco My theory of tho
matter Is this Daniel Iloono many
years ago on the data recorded upon this
picco of copper caught tho snake then
young and smnll fastened tbo copper phito
about its neck unci impusoucd it within
tho hollow of tbo trco by means of tho oak
plug whero his snakoship had remained
until tho day I dollvored him to tho free
air aud sunlight again

it would glvo tho Republicans ono inajoilty

drooping silky moustache and a neat

Considerable Interest was manifested by
tho Senators to day fur news from tho elec
tions In Ohio and Iowa Tlio Ohio Sena
tors who wero questioned about tlio out
look early in tlio day thought that Foster
would bo elected
Virginia Congressmen who wcro about
tho Capitol to day had consldcrnblo to say
about tbo position of Mnliono Thoy wcro
unanimous In tho belief thnt ho Is a dead
cock In tlio pit as far a his party interests
in Virginia are concerned Ills action in
voting with tlio Republicans yesterday
they claimed was equivalent to driving
nuotlier nail Into his cofliu
Senators Pendleton nnd Anthony drove
to tho Presidents residenco In n carrlago
hut returned to tlio Capitol ou foot
Immediately nftcr tho adjournment of
tlio Sonute Scnntor Davis of West Vir
ginia who had objected to tho motion of
Senator Edmuuds circulated among tho
Democratic Senators aud nftcr consulting
with llicm it was decided to hold another
caucus right away Senators w out Into cau
cus at 130 Tlio objost was to arrangoa plan
fur a through reorganization of committees
Tlio Republican from their nction in tho
Scnato this morning wcro content to go on
with tho chief clerk performing tho func
tions of Secretary but It was rumored later
on in tho afternoon that thoy w ould certainly
mako nrrangemonts for electing a Republi
can Secretary Should tho Dcmocratlo cau
cus concludo to ncccpt tho proposition of
Senator Edmunds matters will remain as
they are
Just beforo tho Senate adjourned to day
tho accounts of tho lato Secretary Burcu
were submitted Tlio First Comptroller
certified thnt they had all been settled nt
tho Treasury and were nil correct
There wa a current rumor to day to tlio
effect that tho Republican Sonators would
offer very llttlo opposition to any pro
gramme the Democrats might sco proper to
adopt Thoy fool confident that tho Demo
cratic majority is of short duration Tho
rumor that Judge David Davis is to bo
tcudcrcd a Cabinet position inspires them
with hope and thoy know that If ho is
offered a positiou iu tho Cabinet nud
accepts that his successor will bo a Repub
lican
It is said that Senator Davis would not
ncccpt any plnco iu tlio Cabinet unless it
would bo that of Attornoy Gcncrnl or Su
premo Judge It i said that his appoint
ment would bo a recognition of tho West
and cnnblo tho President tS appoint an East
ern man Secretary of tho Treasury without
Incurring tho ill will of thnt section to
tho sanio extent a ho would should
ho not rccognlzo that section to tlio
sanio oxtont as dill tbo Into President
Garfield Should theso rumors provo true
tho Democrats will elect L Q 0 Washing
ton Secretary and securo pretty much nil
they nsk for at this timo
Should tho Republicans open tlio ball to
day or to morrow by proposing to elect tho
Secretary it may bo taken as ovidenco that
tlicro is something iu tlio abovo rumor
