A Fearful Incident.

A woman whose name we have for.
cotton, lies, or lately did lie, very sick
at Hemlock, Cambria county. A few
days ago, in the daytime, the watch
ers returning to the room after tenn
porary absence, were Mortified to find
a huge snake coiled on the pillow of
the sick woman, and very near the
head. The woman was asleep. What
to do was question of terrible import
recommended to the watchers. The
woman was weak from illness, and
any sudden excitement would surely
kill her. 1t was therefore unsafe to
attack the snake while she was asleep,
because an excitement would thereby
be communicated to the system which
might prove fatal; while, for q like
reason, it was thought equally unsafe
to wake her up to realization of the
danger menacing her. The question,
in all its terrible bearings, was discus
sed by the watchers in a moment,
while their blood ran cold, and it was
decided to maintain, like Mcclellan
before Manassas, a mastery inactivity.
Ii the woman remained asleep and
motonless, she might escape. There
was a chance that the reptile might
withdraw without doing any harm.
After a few minutes, which seemed
like hours to the lookers-on, the Shiny
thing moved-frst one told, then an
other-it slid from the bed to the floor
it crawled rapidly through the room
and hall, and out into the garden,
where it was killed The woman slept
calmly throughout the trying scene,
and was spared an experience the mere
recital whereof is enough to banch
the cheek and cause the blood to cur

A Horrible Disaster.

The columns of the European Ger
man papers are filed with the partic-
ulars of the greatest disaster that ever
desOlated any mining district.
On the first of July last the wooden
frame work Of 1900 feet deep pit CT
a coal mine in the neighborhood Of
Lugan, in SaXony, gave way, blocking
up, with an impenetrable mass of tim
Der and rock, the pit at depth OF
about 305 ellis from the top. At the
moment of the disaster 102 men, near.
ly all of them the supporters of large
families, were working in the bottom
of the mine. Their provisions were
calculated for one day. On the 5th of
July, the date of our latest news by
mail, the place where the fallen masses
had stopped the pit was such a solid
structure that the water was standing
on it many feet high. From all sides
the most avaIiable help was offered,
but the conviction that nothing could
be done soon enough to save the un-
fortunate miners, weakened as it seems
any energetic effort.
They were doomed to die of starva-
ton and want of fresh air. On the
4th of July all attempts to reach the
bottom of the mine by any quick pro
cess were abandoned, and slow but
sure plan was devised by which at
least the corpses of the perished could
be extracted. Iron tubes of about two
feet in diameter were to bes sunk through
the distractions to the bottom of the
pit. Among the dead are forty. four
married meC, one of whom had a wife
and nine living children. The scenes
at the entrance of the pit are described
as lamcntable without parallel One
hundred and thirty seven children filled
the air with their woful cries, whilst
the superintendent of the mines, to
whose negligence the disaster was as
cribed by the people, could only be
saved from being mobbed by his sud.
den imprisonment.

A Chicago Belle Smftten with a
Japanese Performer.

While the Japanese were performing
in Chicago, there was beautiful CIR
of eighteen summers, the daughter oi
a merchant, who seems to have become
completely infatuated, and to have
captivated the heart of one of the Jap.
anese, who has the name of Sing-Ke
Chez. His father was a nobleman at
tached to the court of the Tycoon.
He loved and married girl in the
lower class, very pretty, very good
but not high blooded. The Tycoon
learned of it and his Indignation was
great.
There was but one way to make
reparation-tO commit hari karin
plain English, to disembowel himself.
The nobleman died, his property going
to the Tycoon. His wife, disowned,
joined company of acrobats. Years
after, this company was performing
before the Tycoon. In the bamboo
act, which is his favorite, the Ty.
coon was much struck with the daring
of the boy. Upon inquiry he learned
that the boy was the sen of his once
favorlte minister and friend, and had
high blood in his veins He took the
boy from the company and trained and
educated him. This boy grew up
about the court, and was none other
than Sing Kee-Chee, which in Japan
ese means the son Of nobleman who
had offended the Tycoon.
Sing Kee.Chee is obstinate and de
termined. He has written TO the Ty-
coon full account of the matter. At
present, two anxious hearts await his
decision. Sing Kee-Chee knows very
we'll that if consent is not given his
fate is sealed; for with the refusal
would come a notice that by the ask
ing of such favor he had offended be-
yond redemption, and only the COM
INITIAL of hari kari would wipe out the
insult
At Detroit, Sing Kee-Chee was sur
prised again to meet the lady, who
found the world blank desert after
her heart had become another's, and
there he first began to discover the Sc
cret. The company told him to be.
ware-that he should take a lesson
from the fate of his father, who had
loved without the consent Of the Ty-
coon, and if he persisted, his fathers
fate would be his. Sing-Kee Chez did
remember this, and tried to Danish her
from his heart, but it was q useless
task. The more he tried the deeper he
loved, and before the company left De-
troit. he made the romantic maden's
heart happy by declaring that he loved
her, and if the Tycoon's consent could
be gained by the strongest entreaties
he should make her his wife; and with
this assurance the maiden returned to
her parents in Chicago, who are stri-
wing by every means in their power to
eradicate the notion from her head.

WARNING.
BY DIR. C. Il. n.

Said to my neighbor, John Stout, one day,
81 think IN your fields, rs 1 came that way,
The cattle were running;
And fear heavy loss aud expense,
Should the fire in the swamp
Run across to your fence"
"God give you his blessing" all he could say,
For he lost not moment but fastened away
To check the impending combustion;
And he called me his brother and friend,
And his gratitude seemed without end,
For saving his farm from destruction.
said to him, "John, you are healthy and strong,
But you know no heing can endure very long
Such villainous drinks in the system;
am sure you will ruin your health,
Lose standing, and squander your wealth,
Unless you commence reformation"
How he stared at me then; said ne guessed
needed business" that he "knew best
What TO drink, without my opinion"
Then he few IN rage about "meddlesome friends i"
And preaching up temperance for mere selfish ends
And cursed the whole reformation.
'Tis curious fact, to myself said sadly,
Advice to save money is taken quite gladly;
But let a bad habit be mentioned.
And passion is up. He would save from the fire
His barn and his fence, but let the desire
For strong drink destroy and iniame
His very hearts blood, and rum his name
In this and all generations.

FOOIhardy Trick played by BOYS.

The Terrible Resuh-Three brothers,
the eldest of whom is not over twelve
years old, living near Harmon's Sta
ton, on the Cincinnati and Indianap-
oils Railroad, have been in the habit
of lying between the ties of the road
and mourning the terrible risk of hav-
ing a train pass over them at full speed.
They repeated this recently, at sad
cost, with the passenger train run by
Conductor George Drain. This train,
out from Cincinnati, was running along
at the usual speed, when the engineer
happened to discover three little hu-
man forms curled up in holes between
the ties, just as the engine was within
a few yards of them. There was no
chance to stop the train until it had
passed over them, and then proceeded
some distance further. The officers
of the train then returned to the spot
and found the three children terribly
bruised. All had broken limbs, and
one of them had his head mashed in
such terrible manner as to make his
recovery a matter of doubt. 1t seems
that in selecting their nests they had
not calculated correctly as to depth,
and that the brake-box had caught
them. They are children of Mr.. John
BOuse.

with unusual velocity, they went ont
and found the little girl at the bottom
of the we'll alive and sensible, strup.
Cling to keep herself from drownins
BY means of the bucket, rope and
windlass, they soon restored her to
terra firma, when it was found that
she had sustained no injury except a
slight cut over the right eye, and tri-
fling wound on the top of the head.
The well is twenty-eight feet deep,
with eight feet of water in it, il walled
with stone, and has a diameter of only
three feet. How the little thing could
escape dashing her brains out in the
fearful descent, or being drowned in a
depth of water twice her length, is al
together astonishing and inexplicabIe.

One day Harry came limping into

was the matter, said, ooh, I've dot the

cations of electromagnetic tism to The
arts and manufactures is that of max
ing it instrumental in the smelling of
iron. A fixed electro magnet is placed
opposite an opening in the side of the
furnace, containing the metal to be

is directed into the molten metal. The
effect on the iron is said to be very re-

and hard. The process is carried on
with great success at one OF the most

The silly Young Rabbit.
TRANSLATED FROM GERMAN.
There was young rabbit
Who had bad habit
Sometimes he would do what his mother forbid.
And one frosty day,
His mother did say,
My child, you must stay IN the burrow close hid,
For hear the dread sounds
of huntsmen and hounds,
Who are searching around for rabbits like YOU
Should they see but your head,
They would soon shoot you dead,
And the dogs would be of with you quicker than bool
But poor, foolish being,
When one was seeing,
He stole from his burrow to take short play;
He hoped DER the ground
With many bound,
Looking proudly around az if he would say,
Do l fear mani
Now catch me who can!"
And away rabbit to a fine apple tree,
Where gnawing the bark,
He thought not TO mark
The coming of hunters, so fearless was he.
Now, as rabbits are good,
When roasted or stewed,
A man came along, hunting rabbits for dinner.
He lit Bun
He raised his big gun
Poof! There he lay, dead the foolish young sinner
