The TEA THAT CONES TO TIE UNITED

their tea in % pot, but put it into your cup,
pour in hot water, covering the cup to- re-

minutes, draining of and reflling. The
second cup is considered the best and the
third filing is very good. But when the
strength is exhausted, the grounds are

SNAKE SToRY,-The Columbus (Ohio

SNAKE SToRY.-The Columbus (Ohio)
correspondent of the Commercial says: p
AT last we have genuine sensation in a
true snake story. For some time past an
immense snake has been seen on the Chit
tepden farm, on the Werterville road about
two miles from this city. Not long since
he was seen in field, with large rooster
in his mouth. Atanother time he was seen
in the act OF crushing cat. The. sight Of
the monster SO frightened the man that he
ran away as quickly as possible, aud report
ed the wonder. only to be laughed at, The
following day two boys, in the same local
ity, came upon the monster, Who. with
darting fangs at once gave chase, and did
not slacken his pace until he had travelled
half a mile. The boys told their story, and
were also laughed at. Yesterday morning
these boys again visited the farm, with
guns and were soon rewarded with a sight
Of the snake, who again approached them
in warlike manner. A few well.directed
shot dispatched the monster, which was
found TO be sixteen feet in length, and pro-
'portionately large One of the most re-
spectacle citizens Oh this county states that
he saw and measured the snake, and as-
srres the curious that there is no mistake
as to the length and size Of the monster as
stated above. The skin will be stuffed and
brought TO this city, fHpII. sA D rNN

A RARE CAsE.-The following account Of
an occurrence in Nantucket some twenty
years since presents vivid contrast to GER
tain business transactions of the present
day, and so may be Of interest: "It was a
very severe winter, and the harbor had
been frozen over for weeks. The coal in
store had long been exhausted and there
was much suffering from lack of fuel. Even
fences had been torn down and burned to
eke out the supply of wood. To the great
delight of the townspeople the ice broke up
one fine morning, and schooner was seen
approaching, There was much excitement
and before the craft was moored coal
dealer boarded her and eagerly addressed
the Quaker skipper, Capt. Clifford. "Wal,
Cap'en," said he, you've about hit it this
cruise Iguess Pllhev to take y'ur hui
cargo. Spose you'll want moren the usual
81 q ton. Wall, like to do the squarl
thing by friend, and I'll give you $12 a
ton for it," 'Friend, said Capt. Clifford,
'thee can have one ton Of my coal if thee
likes for So, but only one ton; ;allmust have
a chance" Just then one of the richest
men in the place joined them, saying, II
want ten tons of your coal at your own
price name it. / have suffered enough
for once. He received the same answer,
and so did all7-one ton for each family,
and So as the price Of each ton. No love
Of gain, no solicitation, no regard for indi-
viduals could move honest Capt Clifford. "
