ORIGIN OF THE TURKISH CRESCENT
When Philip of Macedon approached by
night with his troops to scale the walls
of Byzantium. the moon shone out and dis
covered his design to the besieged. who
vigorously repulsed him. The crescen,
was afterwards adopted as the favorite
badge Of the city. When the Turks took
Byzantium they found the crescent in every
public place and believing it to possess
some magical power, they adopted it them
selves. s.Ta.. ~.

SOUTH AMERICAN SNAKEs.-In this
part Of the Orinoco we repeatedly saw
water snakes swimming from one island to
another and in some instances, they pass
over the boats, to the great alarm of the
passengers, but without attempting to do
mischief Theyare ola light green color,
six or eight feet long, and swim with about
a third Of their bodies out of the water, pro-
pelling themselves rapidly along by the
undulating motion Of the tail. We were
informed by the boatman that their prey
consisted chiefly of young birds and water
rats. The steersman of the launches al
ways endeavor to avoid sailing under the
trees that overhang the river, lest the mast
detach some of the snakes from the bran.
ches. We frequently saw numbers Of
them, exhibiting the most brilliant colors,
while basking in the sun on trees. An
European traveller who visited those parts
in 1888, lay down to sleep upon the bank
Of the Orinoco, and was soon awakened
by cries Of alarm and horror. What was
his surprise when he found himself encir.
cled in the folds of innumerable snakes.
The native boatmen, whose cries had
aroused him, proceeded to deliver him
from the hideous coils in which he was
enmeshed but the traveller never com.
pletely recovered of the shock which be
had received. His nerves were complete
ly unstrung; and he died delirious about
four years afterwards at Porto Rico.

TERREBONNE SATURDAY, JULY g. Il


M A BRAvE GIRL.-In the State of ILL.,
nois. no minor can obtain from the Coun-
ty Commissions Courts licence, without
first obtaining the consent Of his or her
parent or guardian and without such
licenses cannot marry in the State. Young
couples frequently fly TO the opposite side
Of the Mississippi, where no license is re-
quired. These runaway Matches - as
they are called, are very frequent. A
laughable occurrence Of that kind happen
ed few days ago, which has made much
sport in that region:
A young lady about IL years Of age,
who is the heiress to an estate worth
$4,000, lately ran away in company with
a bridesmaid and her lover. who was
nearly thirty. Her guardian believing
the man totally unworthy of her, had re-
fused his consent. When they reached
the bank Of tho Mississippi, the ice was
running fariously in the river but the
young lady. expecting every moment her
guardian would arrive there in pursuit,
urged her lover to lose not an instant in
pushing the boat from the shore. His
courage seemed to have a good deal
abaied; but he, with the owner Of a large
skiff, and the bridesmaid, embarked with
his intended bride. They had nearly
reached the head Of an Island, about a
third of the distance from the opposite
shore, when the current became more
rapid, and their situation extremely dan
gerous.. The lover excessively frightened,
and forgetful Of everybody but his orn
dear self, bawled out, in the most pitesus
accents, /" Oh, shall be drowned -
shall be drowned! =: and bitterly reproach-
ed his lady love as the cause Of his pro-
bable death. She uttered not word.
but her courage and presence Of mind
seemed to increase with the peril. A
tremendous cake Of ice fairly capsized the
boat, but it was 90 large that all got on it,
the lover rendering her no assistance. Y
bore them to the head Of the island, and,
