QUEER FREAK OF NATURE.-A brief par
agraph has elected the following from a
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, who
writes from Amite City, under date of
Sept Sd:
About the year 1880 became acquainted
with an aunt of my wife. who was then
upwards of ninety years of age, and dined
with her at the house of her son, who was
born when his mother was sixty years old,
and who was fifteen years younger than his
next youngest brother or sister. This old
lady was the wife of one Adair, of South
Carolina, whose name is honorably mention
ed more than one time in the history of the
revolutionary war, and when | met her in
Alabama she had regained her eyesight, and
did in my house, make herself fine muslin
cap without the aid of glasses. Soon after
this period she concluded that the return of
sight was a warning that she was not long
for this world; consequently she returned
to California to be buried by her husband,
but after a stay of four years she concluded
that she was mistaken, and returned to
Alabama, having four new and full grown
teeth in front, two above and two below
Ny wife and myself have raised nine chill
dren, and have lived to see the youngest Ia
daughter) married. We are both in good
health, and / now have seven more wears to
wait, hoping she may initiate her extraor-
dinary aunt by presenting me with a fine
son to repair in part the loss of our two sons
in the Confederate army.

SNAKEs.-The Toronto Globe saws

For the last three months box lay in the
American Express Office, in this city, until
yesterday. Since the Fourth of July last
this box has remained until called for."-
For some time past strange noices had been
heard in the vicinity of the box with the
unknown contents, and the night watchman's s
slumbers had frequently been disturbed
Yesterday the box emitted a peculiar odor,
and a clerk was commissioned to ascertain
the cause. When opening the securely
nailed top, out jumped two well grown
rattlesnakes, one about five and the other
seven feet long. The shorter reptile, although
lying in the box for three months. was in a
healthy condition and in full possession of all
Its faculties, for Its first impulse was to raise
its yenomous fangs at its deliverer. The
other exhibited serious signs of infrmi.y, for
one half the body was in bad state of de-
composition. The astonishment of the Off
cials at this unusual sight gave way to a
feeling of security, when the porter of the
establishment dispatched the larger but less
animated reptile by a well directed blow on
the head. The other required more stringent
measures, and decapitation was resorted to
before life became extinct. The snakes were
booked from Great Bend, Indiana, and were
evidently intended for some itinerant show
man in this locality.

TIE MoRMoNs REFUSED A Masonic CHAR
TER-At the late session of the Grand Lodge
of Free and Accepted Masons for Nevada,

the matter of the petition of Mount Moriah
Lodge of Masons of Great Salt Lake City
Utah, for q charter came before the Lodge
for action. The whole affair was thorough
ly investigated large amount of interesting
correspondence read, substantial facts made
apparent, and after a patient hearing of the
merits of the case, and the Graft refused to
grant a charter that in any manner. should
recognize the peculiar Institution Of the
Saints. The Trespass says it heartily con
ours in the action of the Grand Lodge, and
believes it to be meet that any organization
protesting respect for Christian civilization
should refuse to countenance any creed OF
religion in direct cOntravention of the laws
of God, or the established laws of the cOun.

SHASTA COURIER.
RetributiOD.

A curious case of retribution took place
recently, at a country seat near Gratz, in
Austria. The proprietor of this country
seat. Baron Pragen, had, in 1919, been
Colonel in the Austrian army, and Chief
of the Military Police at Verona. In that
position he had displayed extraordinary
cruelty, and had repeatedly inflicted severe
corporeal punishment on prominent ladies OF
the Italian aristocracy. Among other In
stances, he caused the punishment of the
aeroes to be administered to the young
Countess Rovina, who had been arrested for
concealing young relative of hers, mem
Der of the revolutionary party. The sen
tence was carried into execution with un-
heard of brutality. The Countess was
stripped almost naked, tied to bench IN
front of the military barracks, and whipped
numerically by three Croats, in presence
of a large crowd of jeering soldiers. The
poor lady was almost crazy with shame and
indignation at this infamous outrage; and
the speedy death of her husband, an othcer
in the Sandman army, brought about her
death few months after the horrible scene
in front of the barracks of Verona. She
left young son, two years OF age. Wheh
the boy grew up, and heard Of the cruel tate
of his mother, be made a solemn vow to
ayeuge her 4 few weeks ago he repaired
to Baron Pragen's country seat and struck
him several times in the face, In presence OF
a number of witnesses, for the purpose of
compelling him 20 challenge him. The
challenge was sent, and the young Italian
had the choice of weapons. lie chose Turk
ish sabres, in the use of which he had, by
long practice, acquired particular skill
When the duel took place, the Italian told
the Austrian who he was, attacked him
furiously with the formidable sabre, and
hacked him almost to pieces. The authori-
ties only heard of the horrible affair after all
was over.

The Master of the Mint, in London, has
obtained a message from the stars. 1t was
contained in piece of meteoric iron. When
heated and tested with Springel's aspirator,
the iron gave off three times its volume of
hydrogen. And, since maleable iron can
only be made to take up about one half of its
volume of hydrogen, Mr.. Graham understood
the message to be that the iron had come
from very dense atmosphere of hydrogen
gas, such as would not be found within limits
of the solar system. Spectrum analysis has
already shown that hydrogen is prominent
constituent in many of the stars, and Mr..
Graham's experiment shows how it can be
conveyed all these countless millions of miles
to this earth.
