THE sfNEws OF THE WAR.

The governments Of Continental Europe
find i, difficult 10 obtain money TO carry on
war, and this difficulty it is more than any
thing else, which doubtless causes them 10
hesitate in involving themselves in what ars
likely TO prove long and costly wars.
France aud Prussia, though the latter has
smaller debt, in proportion TO her meansj
than most of the other nations; found 1t diff
ficulty 10 effect their loans, and it was necess
sary 10 appeal 10 the patriotism Of the wealthy
merchants in Prussia, and all classes in
France, before the amount necessary 10 place
their armies on waI fooliug could obtained.
In Austria still more earnest appeal was
made 10 all ranks Of the people in every
town and city in the country.
A subscription has been opened in Austria
for loan of $4,000, 900. The Emperor
headed the subscription with S6Oo,o 900, and
the nobility and rich bankers followed.
Prince Louis Lichenstein, subscribed Sly
zoe, 900; Prince Paul Eslerhazy, $3.50, 900 ;
the Archbishop Of Vienna 100000; Ba.on
Bach S35, 1000, and SO on The largest SUBJ
scriplion, s2,5oO,oOO, was made by the
banker, Baron Sine, and Arnistein and Els
kelles came next with sl,5oO,OOo.
The National Bank, at Vienna, received in
small subscriptions on The first day OF the
opening of The books Sc, 10000 The cities
OF Hungary had responded TO the call for
subscription with unexpected alacrity. De-
breeczin, the former residence of Kossnth'
had subscribed for $500, 900, and Pesth for
similar sum.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times however, states one fact in regard To-
this loan, which throws some doubt over ii
only five per cent is deposited at the time of
subscription, and the writer thinks it likely
that in many cases this will be forfeited.

A SNAKE-KILLING CAT.

The Wanentown, N. c. Flag says that
gentleman living at Elk Run, in the lower
end OF that county, has the good fortune 10
possess The most grimalkin yet known Of the
cat kind. ITS body is OF unusual length, It's
legs like those of bench legged fee. The
fur is OF a reddish color, The whole deuiified
with black spots and streaks Of different fig
nres; they are long in the back and round OH
the belly and jaws. Black stripes run across
the ears, which are very long and tipped a,
the ends with blue tuft OF hair. Its physi-
ognomy is fierce, and its nature savage.
His masters house being infested with
snakes, which had been bred in neghbor-
ing stone fence, he took ii into his head 10
eschew such game as rats and mice, and
make war upon the snakes, all of which he
destroyed. Having acquired a taste for this
kind OF sport, he extended the field of his
operations, frequeRily making excursions
more than mile distant from the house, and
returning each and every day with snake
ranging from two 10 seven in feet in length.
He has continued this practice for eigh,
weeks. On one occasion he returned much
faiigueJ, and perfectly wet and covered with
saliva. Ii was supposed he had encountered
one OF those large but rare serpents known as
The Gooba,. This turned out TO be true, for
the day thereafter Mr.. Harvey b. Rails found
the snake dead, and signs Of dreadful con-
flicl on The sand. Most or nearly all the
wounds had been inflicted on the back OF The
neck. The weight Of the houid serpen; was
fourteen pounds eleven ounces J

ed teeth, among which are two longer than
the rest, placed in the foreparl of the upper
Jaw. All around the mouth there is broad
scay border, and the eyes so large tina, they
give il terrible aspect. The forehead is
covered with large scales. Each side of the
belly is marbled with large spots OF chesnut
color, in the middle Of which is spot per-
feciIy round, and like Furnished gold. They
have been known TO swallow small pigs
muskrats, oppossums, Sc. They avoid the
sight of man, and are but rarely seen.
The cat still continues his war upon the
snakes. These facts may not gain credence
al disiancej but they are soswell known
and a,tes,ed, that no one in the neighborhood
doubts them for moment.

We knew what it was il was the sad
remnant of Hungary's heroes. The reader

MY FIRST EVENING IN WALACHIA
BY A HON D.

My readers will recollect the melancholy
occasion on which the picked men of the
Hungarian army, after the two eXtraordi-
nary days of the 9th and 9th OF August,
1919, were compelled TO abandon all hope
of liberty, and TO escape the monstrous
cruelty of Russia and Austria by emigrating
into Turkey. That day was bright day
for the Suian-it was bad day for Russia
The men who were driven by The force OF
Russia to seek refuge on the territories of
the Turk are those who since have drilled
and organized the Turkish forces, while
many Of them are al this moment burning
for the time when they shall come into the
field against Russia. 1t matters not now,
nor why-but j, in those days, was in the
