IRON VS.. ROPE TIES.

The New York Journal of Commerce has the
following paragraph in relation to iron cotton ties
"When iron was first used instead of rope for
the ba'ing of cotton, purchasers were shocked at
the idea of paying for this metal the enormous
price at which the staple was then selling, and
the sellers often made slight deduction for tare
to satisfy their customers. The use of these
straps, however, is now becoming general, and
the practice in relation to tare being very rregu-
lar, it was desirable that some uniform course
should be adopted to avoid disputes. The prin-
eipal receivers have, therefore, adopted an agree
ment, published in our advertising columns, that
no deduction shall be made for these straps. If
more than six are used the extras are to be cut
off before weighing. The insurance companies,
it is said, deduct one-thrd of the charge for cot
ton which is thus protected, and this will be some
compensation"
The following is the card:
New YORK, August II.
We, the undersigned, cotton merchants Of this
city, hereby agree, that after this date we will
make no deduction for iron bands on cotton.
Six bands to he allowed to each bale, and any
bands over six 10 be cut off before weighing.

A SERIOUS JOKE The extraordinary phe-
nomenon of a man marrying man, occurred in
an adjoining county, but few days ago. A
gentleman 'wooeu and won" the hand of a
young lady-the day for the nuptials was ap.
pointed, and the groom ''came to time'-as did
apparently the lady. But, it seems, the lady
had a juvenile brother, resembling her so close
ly, that, when clad in calico, none but the most
practiced eye could discouer the difference be-
tween them. He presented himself, was saluted
with kiss, and an unauthorized prelate of the
magsterial persuasion, went thro' the ceremony
of pronouncing the twain one. Music and
dancing filled the house, and all went on charm
ingly-until-the cat was uncloaked What a
sad disappointment - Goldsboro Star.
Somebody ought to have been whipped.

A JAPANESE TALE.-A Japanese nobleman
and prince, the son Of the Emperor Calm Eye,
bought a horse of remarkable beauty and great
value, for twenty kobans eighty dollars,) and de-
lighted with his bargain, fastened to his father,
expecting he would rejoice with him. "Icannot
conceive" said the father, "where you obtained
this beautiful animal, for there is hardly field
in the world which will noursn SO great beau
ty" The prince declared the price he had paid
with great joy. s. II r.'- a-".-
"Suoh bargain" said the Emperor, "proves
that the seller is in distress, and that necessity
has compelled him to part with the horse. Does
it become the Prince Calm Eye, the son cf the
Emperor, with an income of thirty-six thousand
kobans. thus to take advantage of another's mis-
fortune !"s The Prince, ashamed, sought the
owner of the horse, and gave him more than twice
as much as before.

A HORRIBLE SNAKE STORY.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette,
writing from the White Sui phur Springs, states
that when the circus was at that place, the snake
man bought rattlesnake.
The man was said to be an Arab and his
style of dress, dark complexion and 1.-the figure
gave some reason for the belief For while he
got very well, but the vicious reptile, like the
deaf adder, was deaf to the voice of the charmer,
charmed he ever SO wisely, and when the man
least suspected it, and while he held the snake
in his hand, looking steadily at it, i: darted out
its fango, struck him twice on the right hand,
twice on the left, and once on the lower lip
The man Immediately called for whiskey, and
drank nearly quart. But in four hours the
limbs began to swell frightfully and the pain to
become agonizing. A doctor was sent for, but
before he came the man called eagerly for the
snake AS it was brought to him he seized upon
it with mortal avidity, caught it by the back of
the neck with his teeth, shook it dog would
shake rat, then bit off its head, spit upon the
floor, and fiually ate and swallowed about four
inches of the snakes body. Whether his idea
was to cure like by like; whether be was only
carrying out the supersttions of his people;
whether he was simply delirious or whether his
nature had become SO thoroughly impregnated
with snake nature, that he was merely satisfying
snake vengeance, it is impossible now to say.
lie certainly flung himself upon the ground as
soon as he had finished devouring snake flesh,
and writhed and wriggled along the floor, un-
aided by arms legs, after the manner of
crawling reptile One was insensibly reminded
of the wild and curious story of Holmes, in
which the snake influence is made to control
and finally destroy the life of Elsie Venner. The
poor fellow could never tell his experiences. He
was drenched with whskey but too late; he died
in twentv-four hours. During his last hours he
called wildly on any number of Spanish saints,
