THE ARAB AND HIS sERPENTs.

A Paris correspondent Of the ST. Louis Re.
publican says Il stopped 10 see some of
the numerous shows, which are in fnll oper-
alton during the holidays. | found myself
at last within a circle where an Arab was
showing of with seven or eight great SER
penls | wanted 10 turn and go away, but
the crowd had become so greai, that found
could not move, and was obliged 10 remain
a witness of certainly one of the most cur
rious and trightful spectacles ever offered TO
the public. The snake charmer was seated
on the ground, after the fashion of his coun-
try, with his snakes all around him, two or
three of them were of the most enormous
size, almost as large as a full grown boa -
He would take them up in his hands lei
them wind around his legs, arms, body,
neck and head stick out their iorked
tongues and kiss him on the hands, The lips,
the eye-lids, and present their heads or tails
to him, as he commanded them.
While the spectacle was proceeding in
the most successful way, one of the largest
snakes slipped of unnoticed by the Arab, or
apparently so, and dragging itself along, got
out of The crowd, every body you may be
sure, giving him clear space. Just outside
of the circle two dogs were playing togeth-
er The serpent no sooner espied them,
than he raised his head and in another mo-
ment was busy winding himself around the
body of one of The unfortunate animals
The poor dog really screamed with fright
1t was like the screams of human being.
The Arab no sooner heard il and under
stood the cause, than he got up, went 10 The
spot, and without touching the serpent at all,
spoke few words, and the creature instant
ly uncoiled itself slowly-sntil it lef, the dog
free, and assure you one OF the canine race
never ran as fast as that dog did, as soon as
he got loose, The surprise of the spectators
of this scene knew no bounds, AND pieces
of silver were literally showered into the

REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.

Edward Holt escaped from the Trenton
! IN. J.) Jail on Monday, in remarkable
manner. The prisoners, the State Gazette
says, occupied one of the lower cells in the
middle wing. He had taken up part of
the floor of his cell and dug down perpen.
dcuar depth of seven feet. The founda-
tion wall is about six feet below the surface
He burrowed under The wall and up 10 the
surface of the ground on the outside. This
brought him into the yard of the prison.
Then, by means of a ladder made of pieces
OF rope and bedding, and the Stats from the
bottom of his bnnk, with hooks on the end
made of nails, he scaled the outside wall. -
He had 10 throw the ladder 10 The top-ihe
hooks caught in the coping and, after
reaching the top he reversed his ladder and
let himself down on the outside. A course
of stone is laid Immediately under the floor
of the sells. These were removed, put on
his bunk, and carefully covered over with
the bedding. The digging was performed
with bed-screw, and thin pieces of boards
were used for shovelling up the dirt. All
the dirt thrown out on the cell floor was put
there on Sunday after six o'clock in the ev-
ening--the hour which the cells were fast
ened for the night. After he had got down
some five feet, he made ladder to get in
and out of the hole with the dirt He car
ried the dirt in a pail, 10 which he had a
rope attached. After getting the pail full,
he came up with stones in his hand, and
having deposited them very carefully on the
floor pulled up the pail full of earth
Everything had to be done with great eau
tion, as The least noise would reverberate
through the corridor and would be heard by
I he achman. Before he left he composed
poetic elIusiou of four lines, and on the
wall he painted with charcoal and red chalk
a variety Of handsome figures, underneath
the principal one, which represented beau
tiful target, he drew, in letters,-'Liberty's

The Wife.

She knelt beside his dying bed,
By liiend torsaken now,
And gently raised his aching head,
And wiped his fevered brow;
She paused not for the vanished years,
Which sorrow had made dim,
She thought not Of her binding tears,
Save those which fell for him.
She had been loved in early youth,
But love had long been gone,
And yet she mourned his vanished truth,
And brokenly lived on.
He was the father of her boy,
And could she think but i'll
OF one so dear-her pride-her Joy?
All, no A! she loves him still,
And now deserted and despised
By those who caused his fall,
Her woman's heart, so little priced,
Forgave and pitied all,
The flower his naughty hand had CAT,
To wther in its bloom,
Tho worn and wan was still the last
To deck his lonely tomb.

MONEY LOVING OF THE nINDoos.

Bred up 10 love money from his cradle,
the common Hindoo cuts his first tooth on a

for an amulet, and has cowry shells, the
lowest denomination of his god, given him
10 play with on the floor. The mutiplca-
,on table, up 10 one hundred times one hun.
dred, is his first lesson and out of school he
has two pice given him TO lake 10 the bazaar
and turn into an anna before he gets his din
ner thus educated, HIndoos, of all others,
are the best adapted for middlemen, and
the Bounoochee Mullck found in them
useful but double-edged tool. They calcu.
lated the lilhes due 10 him from the tuppeh,
and told him false total much under the
real once they then offered 10 bny them
from him, and, cheated him dreadfully
and, lastly, they collected the tilhes from
the people who were equally ignorant, and
took one bundled and fifty, backed by the
soldiers of the very Nulick 10 whom they
had given fifty for one hundred. If the
landowner was distressed, the Hindoo COM
peted with the Mohommedan priest for the
honor of relieving him with a loan upon his
land and, if the debt was afterwards repu-
dated, he easily obtained justice by bribing
his friend the Mulick .-Edwards' Year on

FACT STRANGER THAN FICTION.

The Conricr des Etats-Unis, of late
date, contains what is termed the follow
ing romance in real life. Although told
in a column, it contains more than plot
enough for half dozen Of James novels :.
During the first three years of the reign
of Louis Philippe, a very singular ndivid-
ual lived in a magnificent hotel in the Fau-
bourg s.. llonore, not far from the place
Beauyeau. His fortune was immense, his
disposition saturnine. He saw no one, and
occupied a small apartment on the ground
floor, which department was decidedly the
most unhospiable in Paris. As for the
other rooms in the hotel they were always
empty and closed. This strange person.
age went out every day at noon, and re-
turned at o'clock in the afternoon the
rest of the time he was invisible. His own
relations lived at Pergord, with the excep-
ton Of "A nephew whom he had brought to
Paris, and sent to coIlege-a handsome
boy, active and bold, and fair as a Saxon.-
The uncle and nephew dined together eve
ry Sunday, and after dinner the old man
said to the young one, slipping a louisd'or
into his hand, "You will be my heir" and
the Inheritance consisted of seven or eight
millions at least. Every Thursday and
Sunday morning the proprietor of The Place
Beauveau received a visit from beautiful
and elegantly dressed woman. She al
ways came in a carriage, entered the gar
den, and returned at noon on Sunday, and
on Thursday at midnight. On no other
day was she seen at the hotel. This state
OF things lasted for some years. The scho-
lar was growing into young man the
single louis bad been replaced by double
one, and still the old man said, "You shall
be my heir. :" to which the nephew some
times replied
"IIeir or not, l have no time to wait"
The truth is, the millionaire was dry as
a rattan, green as a bunch OF holly, and
strong as an oak. One Wednesday they
found bin dead in his bed. A charcoal
fire, half consumed, burnt on the hearth
there had been aSphyxia, or congestion
of the brain. Justice came and sealed ur
everything. The relatives, duly notified
came, and before witnesses, proceeded 10
the opening OF the desk where the papers
Of the delunci had been kept. A will,
written in the terlalor's own hand, left, as
sole legatee, the lady who had paid the
Sunday and Thursday visits to the hotel OF
the Place Beauyeau, with the single charge
OF annuity OF two thousand francs to the
nephew of the deceased. The family at
tempted to set aside the will. A thousand
rumors as to the cause Of the sudden death
prevailed but spite Of rumors and law
proceedings the lady was maintained by
the tribunals in possession of the goods and
chat!els which constituted the wealth OF
the millionaire. The nephew, who should
have had an income OF three or four thou.
sand francs, had only an annuity OF one
hundred louis. Rich, he would have be.
come a sportsman poor, he became {
sailor.
