The SNAKE AND CR0CoDILE.--The following
thrilling account of an engagement between a
boa constructor and crocodile in Java, is
given by an eye witness:
It was one morning that [ stood beside a
small lake, fed by one of the rlls from the
mountains The waters were clear as crystal
and everything could be seen to the very bot
tom. Stretching its limbs close over this pond,
was a gigantic teak tree, anu in its thick,
shining evergreen leaves, lay a huge boa, in
an easy coil, taking his morning nap Above
him was powerful ape of the baboon species,
a leering race of scamps, always bent on mis-
chief
Now the ape, from his position, saw crcco-
ollie in the water, rising to the top, exactly
beneath the coil of the serpent. Quick as
thought he jumped upon the snake, which fell
with splash into the jaws of the crocodile.
The ape saved himself by clinging to the limb
Of the tree, but a battle Immediately COM
menced in the water. The serpent, grasped
IN the middle by the crocodile, made the water
boil by his furious centortiors. Winding his
folds round the body Of his anita gonist, he
disabled his two hinder legs, and, by his con-
fractions, made the scales and bones of the
monster crack.
The water was speedily tinged with the blood
of both conbatants, yet neither was disposed
to yield. They rolled over and over, neither
being able to obtain a decided advantage.
All this time the cause Of the mischief was in a
state of the highest ecstasy. He leaped up
and down the branches Of the tree, uttered
yell, and again frisked about At the end Of
ten minutes, silence began to come over the
scene. The folds of the serpent began to be
relaxed, and though they were trembling along
the back, the head hung liteless in the water.
The crocodile also was still, and though
only the spine Of his back was visible, it was
evident that he too was dead. The monkey
now perched himself on the lower limbs of the
tree, close to the dead bodies, and amused
himself for ten minutes in making all sorts Of
faces at them. This seemed adding insult
to injury. One of my companions was stand
ing at a short distance and taking a stone
from the edge Of the lake, hurled it at the
ape. He WAS totally unprepared, and as it
struck him on the side Of the head, he was
instantly tipped over and fell upon the croco
Ollie. A few bounds, however, brought him
shore, and taking to the tree, he speedily dis
appeared among the thick branches.

A KNOT OF EEL-GRASs.
BY CHARLES CLEWLINE.

The Oswego river isn't navigable far up; for
it is cut off by bridge about half a mile
from the lake, and mile further up it is cut
off by dam.
Between this bridge and the dam there is
q rift, which is famous place for catching
fish in arears, hilt out into the middle Of the
river, in form like Y, with the fork ND the
stream, and down to the lower end there is {,
crib into which the water and fish run, pitch
ing down Il little fail Of about three feet. and
then as the crib is built of Stats, the water
runs out, leaving the fish to be picked out By
the propre ors Of the tceors.
They used to catch lots Of eels there. and
a rousing fellow, Big as a boy leg and long
as a stick Of wood, was thought dear in Os-
wego at fourpelca. But, some how, buying
eels, even If We got them for nothing, did ut
suit me- and determined to steal !. few Of
them wears up there.
told Mrs. Werts, the young widow that
L boarded with, what [ was going at: and
L reckon she WAS up to them games, for she
furnished me with a pillow Ease to bag my
game and two pairs of WOODEN mittens to me
in nobbing the slippery customers: and thus
arnied and equipped [ set cut Oh my mid
night ceiling expedition.
When | came abrest Of the wear. dis

sun down was gone; but as I knew that the
water wasn't more'n up to my arms, [ did
not care much aid SO [ waded of to the
wear, where found and bagged about TWEEN
ty real swingers.
Ny pillow case was nearly full, and
was just about to get under weigh for home.
when the great randaddy Of all eels came
Wailoping down into the water. [ pitched
into him, but my mittens had gstso slippery.
with the slime of captured cells. that | could
not hold him second. There we had it, for
about ten minutes-up midtown, over and
under, slip slop-til at last, got mad, and
making a desperate dive for the old fellow,
got his head into my mouth, and--Wah !.
faugh! whata taste, rs teeth crunched through
ana through his head until they met. and
the big eel dropped quietly down leaving part
OF his cut-water, bit off somewhere about the
eyes, in my mouth | spit it out quicker,
and about all my inside i" fxins' with it.
Wasn't sick? For about twenty minutes
tried to turn myself wrong side out like a
stocking: ana then pillow ased the old eel,
Waded ashore, and mizzled for home as if
had swallowed land crab, and been ridden
for months by double and twisted attack
OF Maumee fever.
Next morning, before turned out, [ heard
the little ''widder" singing out in the back
entry, where I'd slung my bag of ee!s-
so, Charley! Charley come here qnick..''
Well, did; and, as I'm live sinner,

biggest of them all, was a laundering great
black veter snake, wih his nose bit of just
about the eyes.
Those two pigs in the back yard had an
eel breakfast that morning, and Clewline
swore an oath never to 60 wading about in
the night after other peoples eels again.

HINTS ON PAPER HANGING" Many fe-

not worth while to have ones stomach impaired

1t Is astonishing that so lazy practice as
that OF putting new paper over an old one
should exist TO the extent it does. Now and
then an incident occurs which shows the
effect OF such absurd carelessness, Not long
ago, q handsome house in London became in
tolerable to succession of residents, who
could not endure mysterious bad smell
which pervaded it when shut up from the outer
air. Consultations were held about drains and
all the particulars that could be thought of,
and all in vain. At last, clever young man,
who examined the house from top to bottom,
fixed his suspicious on certain room, where
he inserted a small slip of glass in the wall

with putrid dew. The paper was torn down,
and behind it was found mass of old papers

Mr.. WEBsTER.-It has been already stated
that a post mortem examination of Mr.. Web
ster was made day or two after his DEATH
The Boston Courier says
We understand that at a recent meeting OF
, medical society some of the more striking
results of this examination were stated, and
formed the subject Of an interesting scientific
DISCUSSION. The cerebral organs were OF the
very largest known capacity, exceeding BY
tbirty Der centxm the average weight OF the
bnman brain; and, with only two exceptions.
ICuye, and Dupsy ytren,) the largest OF which
there is any record. Ii is also worthy Of re
marx that a we'll marked effusion upon the
Arachnoid membrane was discovered in these
Investigations, although there were no per-
cep,ibie evidences of any lesion during Mr..
Webster's lifetime. 1t is supposed to have
been caused by his severe fall from his car
rage in Kingston last spring. It. is remar'
ka6le ply Biological fact that an injury. which
would have impaired the intellect, i not al
once caused death. in another, should in this
instance have been attended with 80 little ex,
ternaI evidence of SO important an injury to q
vital organ.
