Portsmouth, Jan. 81, 1916.
In Washington City, on Friday last, Mrs MA
ny ANN AMIDoN, consort of Mr.. Hollis Amidon.
The deceased was formerly resident of this
place, and to her many friends here the tidngs of
her death have been painful and affective. Mrs.
A. Was lady of cultivated intellect, refined man
ners, and amiable disposition. She was fitted by
nature, and by education to shine in any sphere
she might occupy, but especially as a wife and a
mother were her qualification pre-cminent. In
these endeared relations she fulfilled her duties in
an exemplary manner, and great is the loss OF
those thus connected with her from whom she has
been separated. Those who knew her as a friend
can we'll sympathize with these afflicted ones. Yet
to all her excellences there added the dignity
and beauty OF sincere Christian Her life proved
the reality of her profession, and gives assurance
that her hopes have been cosummatcd in the bliss
OF the eternal world.

The following curious account of
a combat betw cen a monkey and a
cobra da capella, was related to me
by an old friend in Bengal, who .
heard it from gentleman who haG
witnessed the fact at Patua some
thirty years ago. The monkey in
habited large burr (Mdice) or
banyan tree, { fcus, indica) and was
preparing to ascend it, when he per-
ceived large cobra near the root.
On every attempt to approach the
trunk, the snake reared lis crest to
attack him, and, as the monkey mo
we'd TO the other side, the snake, in.
like manner, shifted his ground, so
as always 10 intercept his advance
to the tree. The monkey, On this
quickened its movements, danced
from side to side, and occasionally
rushing directly at the snake, as if
to seize it, kept it in state of con-
tinual action and alarm for nearly
two hours. At length the cobra,
apparently tired out, lay stretched
on the ground. The monkey now
walked leisurely before it, watching
its motions all tie time with the ut
most vigilance, and gradually les
sening the distance between them,
till he arrived within reach of sim
gle bound, when, sprining on his en-
envy, before lie had time to rear his
head, grasped him firmly by the
neck. The snake instantly envel-
oped him in its folds, but the mon
key, retaining its hold, seized a
brick-bat a part of the ruins of an
old pagodo at the foot of the tree,)
and coolly set himself TO work to rub
against the head Of the snake. This
operation was continued with the
most determined perseverance, till
he had utterly destroyed all vestige
of the head, reducing it to confus-
ed mess, when, disengaging himself
from the now inert folds, he threw it
from him, and sprang up to his Won
ted roosting place in the tree.
After this it can scarcely be ques-
toned, that the monkey was not per-
fectly aware of the dangerous char
acter Of the snake, and, also, knew
well Il C seat of the formidable pow
er which his enemy possessed, and
could in an instant put forth his des.
truction. 1t also appears to prove,
that the larger animals, unlike the
smaller ones, and small birds, are
incapable of being acted upon by
the power of northumberland

Il G0od Naturalization you
see young man modest and retir-
ing in his manners-who cares less
about his dress than his moral char
acter-depend upon it, ladies, he
will make an excellent husband. If
you see one that is kind and atten-
tive to his mother-affec to
his sistcrs--industrious in his habits
and economical in his business, rest
assured, you have found one of whom
you will never be ashamed. The
ball room is no place to find hus-
band !; the fashionable assembly is
no place; it is in the retirement Of
home, in the place of business
where you can study character and
disposition; and where the best out
side is not put on for effect and dis
play. Many young woman sadly
misses it, who is carried away by
bright look and a splendid dress.
The man who makes the most polite
bow and is the most graceful in his
manners, is not always the most suit
able person for husband. Look at
heart--study the character, and learn
the disposition.
There was once beautiful young
lady-beau,iful to look upon we
mean--who turned up her pretty
nose at a shoemaker and refused to
acknowledge painter in the street
who finally married dashing fop,
the son of q wealthy man. Poor
girls! few years Of misery passed
away, and her husband became re-
duced-and she to maintain him ac-
tually took in washing. Many a
shoemaker's wife and many q pain
ter's daughter has contributed to her
comfort during the last few years Of
her life. Girls be wise and look TO
the heart, if you want good hus-
bands.
