goiag bed |ona evening", wearisssi a
long days hunt, when close to my feet, and:
by my bedside, some glittering snbstance
caught my Eye. stopped tospick it up;
but ere my hand reached it, the truth fash
ed scross met was assoakel Had T fol-
lowed my first natural Impulse, I. should.
: have sprung away; hut not being able
clearly TO see in what position the reptile
was lying, aor n hich way his head was
pointed, control ed myself, and remain.
ed rooted bseath1ess TO the spot. Straining
my eyes, but moving DOT an inch, / at
length clearly Distinguished huge puff
adder, tho most deadly snake in the colony,
swi1oss bite would have sent nus to the other
!. world; In an hour pr two. watched shiRn'
in silent horroN his head was from n,s-so
much the worse; for rthissnake, unlike any
other, always rises and strikes back. *
~ He did not move; he was asleep. Not
daring to shuttle my feet lest !hs should
swaEes and spring at me, took a jump
backward that would have dols. honor to a
gymnastic manter, aud thus darted outside
tire door OF the room. With q thick stick,
l then returned and settled his worship.
Some parts Of South Africa swarm with
snakes; none are free from them. I have
known three men killed BY them in one
harvest, On farm in aOliphsntss Neck.
There is ar imnfense variety Of them, the
deadlie.t being the puff-adder,a thick aud
comparatively short snake. Its bite viii kill
Soccasiona1ly within an hour. One Of my
fiaads lost a favoribe and valuable horse
BY its bite, in less than two hours after the
attack. II Is = sluggish reptile, and there
FORE more dangerous, for instead Of rushing
away, like its fellows, at the sound of ap~
preaching footsteps, it raises its hsad aud
Kisses. Often have eome to sudden
pnH-up on loot aud on horse back, ol hear,
ing their dreaded warning! There;is also
the cobra-capella, nearly AS dangerous, sew
ssral black snakes. and the boom -slun, or
: tree snake, less deadly, Que Of which [ once
shot. seven feet long. The Caps is Also in,
.festsd by scorpions, whose sting is little'lss

The Wrong Of Exposing

From the Philadelphia Ledger. !

From the Philadeiphia Ledger
Some considerable feeling is exhibited in
various quarters where inQuisitive persons
have availed themselves Of the war
rant of law to examine the books of
the assessors Of income tax, and to make
the results of their investigations public.
There are many reasons why persons of
both small and large incomes desire to keep
such information private and, in our opin.
ion, both policy and morally require that
tax assessors and collectors should keep
their information to themselves, that they
should not impart it to anybody except to
those who are connected with the work Of
assessing or collecting taxcs, and they
should not make It the subject Of gossip,
or even Of comment to any one. It il q
well-known fact that in England false re.
turns Of income are made, many tar payers
preferring to pay large tax on IN over.
stated income, 80 IS to keep up appearan.
ces. and not confess the narrow limit of
their means. The system is inquisitorial
and vsxatious, and necessarily leads to fraud
and 70 I'll s0rts Of shifts to avoid the disclo.
sure Of unwelcoms. truths. The fear Of
public opinion, the dread of iil.natnred eos-
