his jaw if possible, as, when irritated, he is very snappish. This snake, according to some naturalists, is oviparous, and according to others viviparous; but all authorities agree that it is viperous in the extreme. Serpents are generated in various ways; the horse-runner, for instance, being derived from the fibres of horses' manes and tails, which probably receive the breath
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041701
of life in a mare's nest. That such is the origin of the horse-runner the reader can verify for himself, by putting a few horse hairs in a basin of water and watching them till they begin to squirm. Possibly the shorter fibres from the _caput_ of an African might in like manner produce vipers. The experiment is worth trying.

There are several varieties of the species in this country; the most malignant and treacherous being the Political Vipers--snakes in the grass--bred from the spawn of the Original Cockatrices, and a curse to the land we live in. * * * * * WOMAN IN THE CENSUS. A fresh blow has been struck at Woman's Rights! Gallant ladies, eager to

cope with figures, have been compelled to yield to numbers--inferior numbers at that! Man, the minority, remains the popular tyrant of population. Women, the majority, don't count, can't count for any thing--even for women--at least in the sense of being Census-takers; for General WALKER has decided that Assistant Marshals LAVINIA PURLEAR and SARAH BURGOYNE (hear it, shades of NEY and
60

BLUCHER!) are ineligible to such a warlike title. General WALKER is not firm in his mind that Marshals PURLEAR and BURGOYNE [would it be as well to say Marshal WALKER and Generals PURLEAR and BURGOYNE?] are feminine. "These appear to be the names of women," he says. Why might they not be the names of men? Is there no right
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041705
or reason in these days of domestic revolution for men to name themselves LAVINIA and SARAH if they like it, and their wives like it? And suppose LAVINIA and SARAH that ought to be, or might have been, choose to call themselves MAHALALEEL and METHUSALEM--who's to prevent? Why should not the Rev.

Before another Session we trust the proper spirit will move some underpinning there, for the greater good of the Commonwealth.

BRODBRIMME. _Philadelphia, 5th month, 9th day, ._ * * * * * OLD IRON. Somebody talks of the Iron Men of Congress. Does he mean the Cast-iron members or the Pig-iron members? For instance there are the rusty Heavy-weights, and then there are the fellows who are greedy about Tariff. Members of the scrap-iron and ten-penny nail order are, of

is mirthful in his heavy way, to designate the reduction of taxes. He said that we had been for some time in a state of peace, and our expenses were not so large as they had been. Therefore he thought we might leave direct taxation alone. To be sure he was not prepared to suggest any specific reductions in direct
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041716
taxation. But, doubtless, they would be made some day or other. In the meantime let us pile on the tariff. This was his notion of reducing taxation. Let the importers and the consumers who don't like it-- Learn how sublime a thing it is To suffer and be strong. Then the Senate betook itself to considering an appropriation for educating
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041717
the colored infant. Mr. WILSON strongly approved it, not only on account of the colored infant, for whose education he did not in a general way feel any particular solicitude, inasmuch as the less educated he was, the likelier he would be to give his voice and vote to him, (Mr. WILSON,) and his like; but also because the appropriation
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041718
would provide for a number of the supernumerary female school-teachers of Massachusetts, who had become a great trial to him, and particularly to his colleague, Mr. SUMNER. Mr. SUMNER said "that's school," and explained that he believed he was venerated by the women of Massachusetts, but that their reverence for him was too great to allow them to approach him
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041719
with importunities. Nevertheless, he was in favor of the bill, as tending to break down the accursed spirit of caste, and to disseminate throughout the South the three or more R's which he had so often had the honor of reverberating throughout the Senate. Mr. YATES approved of the bill. It was his general principle to vote for any thing
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041720
that looked to the disbursement of money. He was particularly in favor of this measure, because he wanted an uniform education for every body. He didn't want any body else to know more than himself, and he didn't want to know more than any body else. (Voices--You don't.) Take spelling. There was only one correct method of spelling--the one that

he pursued. And yet he had never found any other person who agreed with him in it. Evidently, this was not right. He demanded that the children of the country should be taught to spell on proper principles, so that his works might be intelligible to posterity, as they were not to his contemporaries. Of course Mr. SUMNER seized the

If he were a judge, as a celebrated namesake of his once was, he would do it by hanging a majority of members of the House he had the honor
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041723
of addressing. In default of that he wanted them to legislate sensibly upon it. Of course nobody paid any attention to the suggestion. The House did itself credit by refusing one land-grab, out of a thousand or so submitted. Mr. BUTLER actually produced again his bill to annex San Domingo, and refused to be comforted, because every body laughed. Then
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041724
came up the Tariff. COVODE said he supposed it would be admitted that he had as little regard for the right and wrong of the thing as any body. But this thing had really gone so far that any man with any regard for his re-election must protest. Nobody but SCHENCK and KELLEY cared about the tariff. Every body cared
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041725
about the taxes. SCHENCK could not regard COVODE with any other sentiment than disgust. He wanted a duty upon foreign oysters. The oyster of Long Island and the oyster of New-Jersey ought not to be trodden down by the pauper oysters of Europe. * * * * * OUR PORTFOLIO. Personal advertisements having reference to the matrimonial exigencies of divers
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041726
widows, old maids, and bachelors, are not without their influence upon the sympathies of the age. Particular attention has been recently directed toward an announcement made in a Cleveland paper to the effect that "Two widow ladies, strangers in Cleveland, wish to form the acquaintance of a limited number of gentlemen with a view to happy results. Please address in
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041727
confidence,--." One involuntarily regrets that a prospect thus bounded by an horizon of "happy results" should have been confined to a "limited number of gentlemen". There is nothing so calculated to impair the usefulness of what purports to be a purely benevolent enterprise, as its selfishness. If a widow, or any number of widows, really possess the means of realizing
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041728
"happy results" with a "limited number of gentlemen," they should either remove the limitation themselves, or make known the secret to those who would be less sparing of the joys which it is capable of communicating. A quack who peddles a valuable remedy upon which he may have stumbled, and yet refuses to disclose its ingredients for the benefit of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041729
the whole medical fraternity, violates the _esprit du corps_ of the profession, and is by general consent deemed a fit person to be kicked out of it. Therefore, if any widows or single ladies in Cleveland have knowledge of any "happy results" which they advertise to share with a limited number of gentlemen, we shall deem them unworthy of their
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041730
sex, unless they explain the process by which these results are attained, for the benefit of those who are fast verging toward the autumnal stage of maidenhood. * * * * * It may well be doubted whether the thought ever occurred to ADAM that one day or other a hen would be charged with the care and custody of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041731
a brood of goslings. The pastimes of Eden were perhaps not favorable to vaticinations in the line of Natural History, but in the progress of the world since those most primitive times, men have come to contemplate the spectacle of that familiar barn-yard fowl made wretched by the aquatic propensities of her supposed offspring, without a particle of astonishment. The
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041732
wicked and unfeeling even go so far as to seek amusement in her misery. Her "ducklings" and other symptoms of maternal agony at beholding the feathered darlings tempting the dangers of a neighboring duck-pond, do not move their stony breasts. On the contrary, they decidedly relish that sort of thing, and greet with positive hilarity the efforts of some sympathizing
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041733
rooster to cheer her. Fie, upon such natures! If they must have an outlet for their ribaldry, let them take PUNCHINELLO'S advice and select such instances as that recently furnished in Sacramento, where a hen took charge of a nest of kittens, and resolutely maintained it against the parent cat. Here the case was different. The hen had become a
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041734
trespasser. She had no business with kittens. There was no hypothesis by which she could claim them as her own. Kittens are not hereditary in the family of fowls, and she knew it. It was an usurpation without any pretext of justification. What would become of us if such a precedent could be extended to the genus _Mammalia?_ Hundreds of
60

rapacious old maids would be seizing all sorts and all sizes of babies from agonized mothers, and asserting for themselves the hallowed duties of maternity. Our infant days would have been days of ceaseless motion. We should have been shuttle-cocked from maiden to mother and from mother to maiden after a fashion calculated to defeat the wise purposes of ipecac

and paregoric, and to frighten our natural curls into a state of painful perpendicularity. The mere presentment of such a possibility, carries its refutation, and puts the aggressions of this Sacramento hen in the category of outrages which all society is banded to suppress.

Being uneasy about our agent's course at the Vatican, I have come over to Rome to see about it. He is an Irishman,

twg_000000041739
with a little of Father TOM in him, and has got into a "controversy" with his Holiness about infallibility. Our African bishop (otherwise PHELIM BURKE) insists that PUNCHINELLO is infallible! The Pope says this is ridiculous! Father PHELIM replies that "there are two that can play that same game." I found them in the midst of this when ANTONELLI ushered
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041740
me into the Papal presence. PIUS was up on his feet, talking Latin like a crack student of the Propaganda. PHELIM had his sleeves rolled up. ANTONELLI, with a "_Pax vobiscum_" got the two contending powers quieted down; and, after a proper salutation from me, we began our talk. His Holiness is not much on English. Says he, "I speak
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041741
vat-I-can English." Had he said _non possumus_ to it, it would have been better. However, PHELIM translated him; so we got on. "Your Holiness enjoys, I hope, a good constitution?" "The _constitutio de fide_ is, indeed, very good. Catholics must every where subscribe to it." "Dr. DLLINGER, I trust, don't disturb your appetite?" "_Anathema maranatha!_" which means (said PHELIM,) "Oh
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041742
no, I never mention him." Whereupon PHELIM, who had breakfasted on gin-and-milk, began to hum that tune. I at once trod upon his toe, and he stopped. "On the whole, what does your Holiness think of the prospect?" "From this window, it is very fine. But I'm getting a little dim-sighted. "Don't you see that crowd of people coming up?"

"No I don't--it's only a herd of cattle from the Campagna." "Take my glass. There, now; don't you see, I am right?" "Yes," and the old man crossed himself, "It is so; I was mistaken." "Thrue for you!" gobbled out PHELIM; "we've got to make a note of that! PUNCHINELLO never made the likes of a mistake!" "But, _what's in
60
gutenberg
twg_000000041744

I see a troop of schoolmasters; a larger one of newspaper-venders; and a whole army of _colporteurs_, each with a bag of Bibles on his back! And, what do I see? They enter ST. PETER'S; they leave the door wide open.

Did I hear it? They are singing LUTHER'S Hymn!" The old man fell now into his seat, and I took the glass from him. "Only one of his attacks," said ANTONELLI. "He is not quite so strong as he was." "Thrue again," said PHELIM. With that sense of propriety for which your representative has over been distinguished, I took PHELIM
60

twg_000000041746
by the arm and retired. Poor Pius! He means well, and if we only had him for a while out West, where I came from, we might make something sensible out of him yet. But, when a man will live so far away from the Rocky Mountains as away over here, what can be expected? We can't civilize the whole
