HRISRgcH HEINE's OPINION or LONDON. -
have seen the greatest wonder which the
world can show to the astOnished spirit; L
have seen it, and am still astonished-and
sill there remains fixed in my memory the
stone forest of houses, and amid them the
rushing stream Of faces Of living men with all
their motley passions, all their terrible i'm
pulses of love, of hunger, and of hatred-I
mean London. Send a philosopher to London.
but, for your life, no poet Send philosopher
there, and stand him at the corner Of Chea o.
side, where he will learn more than from all
the books of the last Leipsic fair; and as the
billows Of human life roar around him, go will
a sea Of new thoughts rise before him, and the
Eternal Spirit which moves upon the face Of
the waters will breathe upon him the most
hidden secrets Of social harmony will be sud
denly revealed to him; he will hear the pulse
Of the world beat audibly, and see il visibly;
fo-, if London is the right hand Of the world
its active, mighty right hsnd-then we may
regard the route which leads from the ET-
change to Downing street as the worlds pylo-
rc artery. But never send a poet to London
This downright earnestness of all things, this
colossal uniformity, this machine-like move
ment, this troubled spirit in pleasure itself,
this exaggerated London, smothers the imag
ination and rends the heart. And should you
ever send German poet thither-s dreamer
who stares at everything, even a ragged beg
gar moInen, or the shining wares of q gold
smiths shOp-why, then, at least, he will find
things going right badly with him.-Piaxyss

SOUTH AMERICAN SNAKRs.-Ip this part Of
the Orinoco we repeatedly saw water-snakes
swimming from one island to another; and
in some instances they passed over the boats,
to the great alarm Of the passengers, but
without attempting to do any mischief. They
are OF light green color, six or eight feet long,
and swim with about a third of their body out
Of the water-propelling themselves rapidly
along by the undulsting motion Of their tail
We were informed by the bostman that their
prey consisted principally Of water-rats aud
young birds. The steersmen Of the launches
always endeavor to avoid sailing under the
trees that overhang the river, lest the masts
might detach some Of the snakes from the
branches We frequently saw numbers Of
them. exhibiting the most brilliant colors
while basking in the sun, on the trees. A
European traveller, who visited these parts In
1888 lay down to sleep upon the banks OF the
OrinocO, and was presently awakened by cries
of alarm and horror What was his dismay
when he found himself encircled iu the folds
of innumerable snakes. The native boatmau,
whose cries had aroused him, proceeded 10
deliver him from the hideous coils in which
he was eumeshed; but the traveller never com
pletely recovered from the shock which be had
received. His nerves were completely un-
strung, and be died delirious, about four years
afterwards, at Porto Rico.
