CURIOUS SNAKE SroRY.-Marie Jauz,,
wife of a farmer of Tarascon, went to wash
her linen in the Ariego. taking her child
with her All at once she SAW a snake Il
yard and a half long, which made a spfing
at her, attracted probably by smell OF
milk from her breast, she being wet nurse
The reptile attempted to enter her mouth,
but not being able to do so, wound itself
around her neck, and bit her severely
The terrified woman made efforts to pull it
from her neck, and her son, uttering pierre
ing cries, fastened to her assistance. At
last she succeeded in casting it from her;
but instead of taking its flight it looked
furiously at her, and raised itself, as if pre-
pairing to spring The woman, dreadfully
frightened, shrieked wildly. A young man
came up, and, boldly attacking the reptile
with a stick, succeeded in killing it. II
the woman had been left to herself, she
would probably have died from convulsions
caused by fear. As it is, serious conse-
quences may ensue. Her face bears the
mark of the reptiles bite, and her neck is
scratched by its folds.

A WHITE PINE NABoB.-Last summer
an inpecunious individual, who had seen
better times, met an old friend (the com
panion Of luckier days) on Montgomery
street, and after some conversation on
things" generally, alluded to his present
condition, and limited that with a small
loan he conld get into the country and
perhaps be able to improve his financial
status. His friend had thirty two dollars
in his pocket, and cheerfully gave all but
two, To aid in getting the other away to the
interior. This sum Was soon after increased
by the loan OF twenty dollars from another
former associate, and the now liqbt- hearted
man went his way up country rejoicing.
Dame fortune Is represented as heinz blind
and aptly 50 in California, for here instead
of selecting her favorites from amono the
pampered devotees Of high life and arIsto-
cratic elegance, she as often touches with
her wand OF enchantment the moor and
needy adventurer. The recipient Of his
friends generosity eventually found his
way to the now famous White Pine silver
region, and was one of the lacators of the
Eberhardt mine, and in addition to that
treasure, ne is the owner of considerable
interest IN three or four orther mines. if
not equal, at least only second in value to
the above named. Day before yesterday
he returned to San Francisco, the proprietor
OF mining interests worth in Cash not far
from million OF dollars. One of his first
acts has been to remember the old friend S
who aided him in his hour Of need, and
among other substantial recognitions of
past favors is deed of interests in two
mines, the cash value Of which is not less
than ten thousand dollars to each IF the
proverb is true, that +" Fortune favors the
adventurous" that other one, that " One
good turn deserves another" is sometimes
nobly and worthy verifed-.S. +. Times.

+" Heat it Hot, Sam.v

One evening horsemau drew up to
tavern, kept by militia colonel, and asked
accommodation for the night half.
grown lad answered In the affirmative. and
ushered him into the sitting-room. where
great wood fire of itself gave him well
come. After supper, the landlord made
his appearance for the first time. He was
hearty and hale, and rosy as any Boniface
need be, but he was bent and crippled in
his gait, He explained by saying that he
had taken cold, which settled in his back
| don't mind the pain 50 much he
continued, but it's SO inconveniept. |
nave been recommended to try poor mans
plaster, and if you'll excuse me, I'll have
1t put on now; Sam Samuel. Samuel |!
McHatten !"
Here, father replied the young hope
ful, hastily. swallowing huge piece of mince
pie which he had been enjoying.
Here Sam, my boy, heat this plaster
and put it on my back. Heat it hot, Sam"
Saying which, he handed the plaster to
his son, and seating himself astride the
chair, with his back to the fire and his
shirt over his head
Now, Sam said the colonel, if the
poor mans plaster is hot enough, you may
put it on-but you may wait little while,
| am afraid it is not hot enough Heat it
hot Sam, heat it hot. Can you tell,
turning to the traveller, who was seated in
the corner, "why this is called poor man s
plaster, sometimes the poor mans friend %
" Give it upl' aughing to himself.
Because it sticketh closer than broth
er."
Poor Sam, who had been watching his
chance to speak without iHterrupting his
father, now said
=" | guess it's hot enough, now, father" !"
" What do you know about it?" said
the old man, testify "I say heat it lot,
Sam, heat it hot"
" Sam, whose face was heated red hot
had held the plaster till it had run down
on the hearth, made no reply.
Now, Sam,' said he, after a pause in
the conversation with the traveller, q" [
guess 1t Is hot enough, you may clap it on "
Sam warmed the plaster, approached
him, and did .clap it on. The old man
gave one yell, like a wild Indian, and Jump
ed clear over his chair, kicking his old
fashioned breeches off his feet and dancing
with pain. The traveller laughed till he
cried, and the more mine host roared, the
more he laughed. When the first agony
was over, the colonel began to swear and
our traveller thought it would be prudent
for him to retire, lest he should share his
wrath with Sam, who he observed, was
getting out Of the way
The next morning, when leaving, he
banded the colonel five dollars, saying with
twinkle Of his eye:
Il don't want any change, 1t was
cheap at that" After he Was seated upon
his horse, and out Of range, he called back:
Heat it hot, Sam-heat it hot"

REWARD OF HEROISM.

1t is stated that Miss Ida Lewis, the
Newport heroine, " has received sill
yer medal and $500 from the Life
Saving Benevolent Society OF New
York. A very handsome letter from
the President, Royal Phelps, accompa-
MED the gift" Like most brave people
Miss Lewis is extremely modest. AL
though she has saved Malt q dozen
lives, has braved dangers that would
make stout hearts beat wildly and set
strong arms quivering, and has, from
her infancy, loved her duty more than
herself, she is excessively retiring. The
inquisitive visitors to her rocky home
on the Newport coast have difficulty in
persuadipg her to talk about her ez-
ploits and the wonderful deeds she has
done. To her, it is probable this dona-
ton of a check for hundred dollars is
an unexpected wealth, fortune which
her modesty would lead her to refuse,
but which in her primitive life, she can
not despise.
The Newark Register says to those,
who mingle with the world, who buy
its costliest fabrics, who line its fleet
ing moments with the most extrava-
giant pleasures, who squander its gold
in thousand ways, who sport with
greenbacks as children play with make
believe money, and to those who ac-
quire and lose princely fortunes 10 day
IL check for one hundred dollars seems
paltry sum.
1t seems all the more paltry when
without the slightest difficulty thou
sands of dollars are raised for tinsel dis
plays and all kinds of celebrations
when money almost without the count
ing in poured out to match blooded
horses, to encourage manly; when
prima donnas notes are turned into
gold when heroes are Landed and
crowned with brilliant cOrOnetS. tOf
such interests as these the wealthy in
dividual who would refuse to contrib
ute from his private purse a hundred
dollars would be looked upon with dis
trust. Philanthropy and religion, how
ever, are supposed to be free institu-
tions. And there are many men,
though they never would confess it,
who are like the pious but parsilnon-
ious down-Easter, who thanked the
Lord the "religion was free" and that
though he had belon ged to the church
for over thirty years it had cost him
but six cents quarter.

room. and fine collation. prepared fol
two hundred and fifty guests.
At little after eight o'clock the

then read the familiar hymn, "a charge
to keep have, which was sung with a
will; after which prayer was offered by
Rev. James Ayres, presiding Older of
Elizabeth District.
Word was then passed along the line
to "fall to" and refresh the inner man,

would be made known. Ample justice
was done to the good things so bounti-

Resolved, That as the Christian
Church has been in all ages the stead

the great advocate of the people, we
believe it still to be the high and holy
duty of the church to have an active
hand in the promotion of christian edu-

Responded to by Bishop James, who
spoke with his usual eloquence and
force, saying " Behold how good and
pleasant it is for BrethreR to dwell to-

land is far more noble than the feast
