We o °e®? * several ot the smaller islands ® a t ed nhing .lava, and it was while a roadstead between the islands If bL y and Lombok that 1 saw a sight to J* „ toe eye* of even a sailor. It had open toe ey dry Beaßon among the " * and some ot them bad suffered 1 from forest fires. As we grf bVnm tothe passage from tbe south smoke hung in the heavens, kill fwnff’thebreeze and turning noonday nto twdight. U was easy to see from the I „t the smoke oloud that tnere was an Be tot tbesmose o iß)and of BaD Ourcantain at first suspected that. • volcano was at work, but when we came to examiae the ashes which fell on our decks we concluded that it was a bush We had to come to anchor in the Sl! ft ve. which is not over t* n miles wide. Matter the first twenty-four hours the smoke drove down upon so heavily that throat, and eyes were greatly irri tated while tue h. at was so great that the men stripped oft most or their clothing. If there 'had been a breath of wind we should have got out of the uncomfortable situation bv running back to the south, but as it was not, a breath ol air came to give us a moment’s relief. At night there was such a glare on tbe western skv as made us conclude that the whole island of Baly was ablaze and being destroyed. “After tbe first day we noticed that the fisb began to feel tbe effects ol the smoke. They jumped up all around as 11 sunoat jiig and some of tbem droveabout on the surface as 11 thev were wounded and in pain. A big bull whale nearly as long as the ship drove through the passage one lorenoon from the north, spouting like a fire engineandswashing his flukes about as if to strike a pursuing enemy; and he ran so near us that tbe swell he kicked up made the Lord Gray dance a jie long after he had passed. The sharks were the only inhabitants of the deep not affected. The, came about us as thick as flies, and could be seen rushing in every direction after the frightened fish. About midlorenoon of tbe third day, while all tbe crew, ex cept what might be called an anchor watch, were below to seek relief from the smoke, there was a sudden row raised by the men on deck. We heard them shout ing and clattering across rhe deck, and directly oneof them came down into the forecastle, while tbe other made for the cabin. We in the forecastle bad sprung up, believing tbe ship to have been at tacked by pirates, but our mate soon gave ustoundemand that we had a different enemy to deal with. We bau been board ed by serpents. He explained that the first he knew of their presence was a great commotion in the waters around, evidently made by the sharks attacking the serpents. Tbe latter had been driven oft Baly by the fire, and were crossing to Lombok, which was still sate. They had boarded tbe ship at every point, and more than a dozen were on deck when the men rushed (or shelter. ‘•The carpenter ascended the ladder and raised the scuttle a few inches to take a good look, and he yelled right out in his (right. He said the decks seemed alive with serpents, which were racing up and down and across with great swiftness. You wta admit that it was a singular po sition to be placed in. We hadn’t a fire arm, harpoon, or any other trustworthy weapon among us. and as lor trusting our selves on deck with Iron bolts, belaying pins or weapons of that sort, was a mat ter not to he thought of. After we had counted noses we found that the Captain, two mates, cook, steward, and tws fore mast hands must be att. The ship had a few innsKets and cutlasses, and the offi cers bad revolvers. If the serpents were to be driven off the first move must be made by the officers. We took turns go ing up tne ladder to get a view of tbe Seek, and tbe sight was one to affect every man. There were serpents from three to twenty leet long, racing about the deck, and there was one with a body fully M lar K a common nail keg. None of them was still for a moment, and the noise of their movements was plainly beard in the forecastle. “It was fully an hour before the men aft made a move, and then we heard the re port of firearms. This was followed,as the man on the ladder reported, tpy the discharge of half a dozen skyrockets, which had been aimed to fly along the flecks. Soon after that we beard men astir ou the (P ok. and we opkned the scuttle and rushed up. The serpents had apparently disappeared, being (Tightened by tne noise and flames, and as we looked over the starboard side we saw a score ol them making off. Tne monsier of whom is °u had been bit by a bullet from the Captain’s revolver, and be waa swira ngabout in a circle, head held four or , , et from tlle surface, and making a rr.Ule splashing. He did not seek to •me aboard nor did he swim away. We an watched him for three or four min inT’ whptl 8 shark dashed in upon him l“ Q ® eiz ,n him about midway of his vth. 'i he row which followed was the . ‘‘“fst thing you ever saw.

Why is it. then, that the person seeing a sea ser pent, or a serpent at eea, in these davs, is held up to the world as a fool or a liar? If serpents did not pag6 from Island to island in the tropics, some would be overrun and others entirely clear of them. That this ie not the case any sailor will tell you. 1 | have seen, in the” Island of Java, a ser- ! pent. 34 feet long, and as large around his i middle as anaverageman. Lotthatsnake \ be eeen at sea, swimming along with his j head well up, whioh is the way they carry . themselves, and it would be a novel and startling sight to people on shipboard. I have talked with sailors who have seen plenty ot these serpents off the tropical coasts, and the facts in the story of my own experience are a matter of record in England, having been debated by eminent naturalists.” POLITICAL. PATRONAGE. Republican Leaders AVho Were the Most Persistent Office Beggars. From ths Philadelphia Rtcord. Washington, Oct. 2.—William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, told me once in “the good old davs” before the reform that he had 226 appointments in the ex ecutive departments here. Every one of these people was just as much a personal retainer of the man who prooured his ap pointment to office as any “Highland lad die” in “the tail” of any Highland Chief. They served him in Washington; they served him in Louisiana; they went to nominating conventions and nominated him and renominated him; they went to the polls and elected and re-elected him; they were the strikers who filled the Federal offices of Louisiana, all of which he controlled as absolutely as you oontrol any piece of real or personal property. They all be lieved that Kellogg owned the offices, they knew that he rewarded them for services rendered to him, and so it is not strange that the; thought they owed allegiance first to him and then to Uncle Bam. and that it tneir duty to the latter and the will of Kellogg ever came in conflict they were governed by Kellogg’s wishes, and not by the requirements of their positions. And wbat was true in Kellogg’s case was true in the case ot every other Republican leader, except that probably no one save either John A. Logan or John H. Ketcbam, of New York, ever had so many followers in office at one time as William Pitt Kel logg. I think Kellogg probably had more than either Logan or Ketcbam, although they were all three such persistent, per suasive office beggars that it is bard to say which got the mo6t. Logan was not content except with all that be asked fir, and then, of course, only until he eould think of something more to ask. You re member Grant used to say that if Morton asked for five appointments and got one he would go away thankful, but if Logan asked for five and got four hq would go off grumbling because be bad not got the other one. “I never can satisfy him,” he concluded. Ketcham utilized his dearness very cleverly to assist him in bis office bunting. He said to a friend who commiserated him once upon a time in tbe House of Representa tives upon his deafness. “Oh, I hear enough;” and so it was in his rounds of the departments seeking offices. He always heard every whisper that seemed favorable to bis quest, and never could make out any remark, however loudly spoken, that seemed unfavorable. The appointment olerk of one of the depart ments (then an important officer having a great deal to say about tbe disposition of the “patronage” ) tried an experiment once with the deliberate purpose ol testing the deafness of “Uncle Johnny,” as he was always called. “Uncle Johnny” was pressing a certain youth for a position. He walked into the offioe of the appointment olerk one morning and asked bis immediate appointment. “Can’t do it,” said the appointment clerk in his loudest tone. “Ob,” said Uncle Johnny, “you say, ‘Come to-mor row,’ all right,” and oft' he toddled, deal as those who won’t hear. Next morning he was hack again. “I guess we’ll have to appoint that fellow,” said the appoint ment clerk in a quiet whisper. “Oh. thank you,” said Uncle Johnny, “I’ll have him here to-morrow,” and off he went, hearing as well as any ot us. But all tbe other Re publican leader* were just as eager in the pursuit of patronage as either of these, even the most unsuccessful, just as the love of money Is as great in the smallest money maker as in the greatest. They spent” the greater portion of their time in the departments and at the White House begging, cajoling, threatening If by any means thev mightcapture some. It seems difficult to realize the (act that this s.vs tern was in lull operation within the past decade. It is hard to realize, because It is all so different now. The politicians have not changed, of course. The Demo cratic politicians are as eager for office as the Republicans ever were, but the administration has changed. The politicians were satisfied in the first six months of the new adminis tration that the civil service reform law would be carried out in letter and in spirit; and. in the language of the famous minstrel song, “They haven’t donq, any thing sence.” Tbe departments, freed from the paralyzing exact,ious of the poli ticians. are filled wiih men and women of more character and intelligence than could be obtained under the old system, never were in as good condition as now, never aid so much work, nor so well. This is due not more to the admirable ap pointments the President and his Cabinet, have made to tbe higher offices than to the admirable working of the new system. BEAUFORT ITEMS. Interesting Local Gossip from an In teresting Town. Bkaufort, Oct. 4.—Mr. Wm. Cuthbert of this place, who tor four or five years past has been sojourning in Colorado, has returned thoroughly disgusted with that land and its inhabitants. He thinks there’s no placo like home. Our little Sleepy Hollow, though much surprised at the earthquakes, hag pre served its equilibrium excellently well, and is as slow as ever. The earth “do move” but we do not. Our colored population, always a highly reMeious one, so far as external forms and ceremonies, has been much stirred up since the disturbances, and has becomo more religious than ever. As to tne whites, nobody has the spirit to do any thing hut go to church, and a great many haven’t the spirit to do that. Mr. J. C. Sim* has been elected princi pal ol the Beaufort College In place of Mr. S. Evans. Mr. Sim* Is a son of Col. R, C. Sims, formerly Secretary of State, and has made quite a favorable Impression. Our society here has ui"t quite a loss In the removal of Messrs. James and Henrv Hume and their families, whofor the past five or six years have been among us. Mr. James Hume is in business in New York, and Mr. Hsnry Hume voes to the pho-pbate works in Charleston. Their many friends will feel tbeir departure deep!v. Tbe' State Democratic canvass meeting takes place here Oct. 22, but the names ot the “big guns” who are to fire off have not vet been announced.

POISONED WATER. The Terrible Scourge that is Coming Upon the Country ami How to Avoid It, Health- Journal, The reports of the Boards of Health show t a condition of things iu the Drinking Water supplies of t.nis country that is ah- | solutely appalling. In one family alone three deaths are reported, the cause of which could be traced direotly to bad water. Poisoning by drinking water is tbe worst kind of sickness or death. Its effects are not immediate, but are none the less certain in the course of a few weeks or months. The loss of appetite, headache, tired feeling, and the thousand and one symptoms which indicate the ap proach of disease, are certain to be felt. Water supply in the city is bad enough, but in the smaller towns and farming communities tbe water ie often drawn from wells that are simply drainages trom barns and outhouses. Such being the terrible fact, what can be done to avert this evil? Certainly not by drinking liquors, mineral waters or similar conooctions, lor thoy are fre quently more Injurious than ordinary water. The only way to avoid the above evils is by keeping the health pure. A gentle stimulant to the digestive organs and faculties, and a strength-imparting and nerve-building compound, is what tbe body requires, is wbat the people should have. Such a preparation is found in tbe wonderful Volina Cordial, which is ac complishing so much throughout the country, and is becoming so popular. Being composed of purely vegetable ele ments, both palatable and strengthening, it. counteracts the evil effects ol poisoned water and renders their Injurious ele ments harmless. The striktug feature of this remarkable discovery is to ODen up anew medical field, and almost with a flash accomplish what tbe doctors have been looking for for years, that is a pleasant medicine that could be taken without fear or injury; that would carry into the body new albu men, which is tbe great sustaining, strengthening and enlivening element ot human life. Just what "springs” are to a vehicle so far as pleasant riding is con cerned is albumen to the human system so tar as good health goes. Without it you get weary, tired, have troubled thoughts, feel out of sorta, broken down and your system is open to every disease or local trouble. The Volina Cordial re lieves all this and makes one feel new all over.’ yieOltai. CLINGMAN’S Tobacco REMEDIES The Crratest Medical Discovery of theage. So family oaght to he wMhaat them.
