An Irishman's Experience with o
Diamond Heaftlesnake.

The Fort Smith Herald says an Irish
man by the name of Thompson, driving
a mail sulky between that place and
Fort Gibson, on Monday last, coming
down there with the mail, came across a
very large diamond rattlesnake in the
road. His mule shisd at it; he jumped
out Of the sulky, grabbed the snake with
his left hand around the neck, held it up
and jumped into the vehicle, and drove
half mile to the station, got out,
walked into the house, where there were
two or three Indian women, called for
a needle and thread, which was given
him by one Of tho women, when he sat
down and deliberately seWed up the
mouth Of the snake, then threw IL doEn
ON the floor and told the women to keep
IL until his return. While he held the
snake by the throat in It's writings 1t
bit him on the finger two or three times
but he was under the influence Of whis-
XIV, and, as the Indian woman gave HIM
a few more drinks, he experienced no
harm from the bites on his finger. Amer
the Irishman left, some Cherokee men
belonging to the house came IN, killed
the snake, and skinned it. Our inform
ant, George Strong, of the mail line,
SAYS he saw the skin Of the snake at the
house where the Irishman carried 1t,
and afrerward saw Thompson, who had
a few marks on his finger, but was all
right" The bite of the diamond rattle
snake is considered by the Indians as in
curable.

A Visit to a COru FacfOry-HOw
canned Corn is PreDared.

A correspondent writes to the Lewis
ton Me- Journal the following account
of visit to a corn factory;
In Imagination let us start from Farm
ington depot and take the road to Farm
ington Hill. We follow across the bridge
At our right are some buildings. We
turn aside and look. First We see heaps
of ears of sweet corn scattered around
in front of the main building and in
long shed that looks like the horse sheds
of a meeting house.
This is picked from the stalks in the
field and hauled in by the farmers who
raised it. 1t is now husked and carried
into the main building. Here you see
fifty or sixty women and girls sitting on
each side of long wooden troughs divided
off by partitions, in sections about foot
long, The corn is poured into every
other one. The women shave off the
raw corn and throw the cobs into the
other sections of the troughs, or trays,
as they cali them.
The corn is now put into zinc tubs,
each having large piece of ice in it to
keep tho corn cool, for the great secret
of canning corn is to keep it fresh and
cool. Here the corn is put into the cans
by press that works on the principle
of sausage filler. A workman on one
side puts can under land bears down
the lever, thus filling the can A woman
now takes the can, puts it on the scales
and weighs it. The standard weight is
about a pound and half. If they are
not quite heavy enough, she pushes in
little more with round stick which she
has in her hand, If the cans are not
just so heavy, they will float on the
water when they are put into the boiler
Before the cans were filled, cover was
soldered on the top, having hole in the
center about an inch and half across
The corn was forced through its opening
in filing It, A workman now takes
circular piece Of tin, Just the diameter
of the hole, puts it in and soldiers it.
The cans are now put into great copper
boilers, about five feet long and four feet
deep. There they stay in the boiling
water for two hours They arc now
taken out, and little hole is punched
in the top with an avl, the hot air and
steam whistled out and a workman
comes along and puts drop Of solder
on each hole. Their doom is now sealed.
They are put back and boiled four hours
more. lhen they are taken out again
and carried on to a platform to cool.
When cool the cans are carried to the
siorekouse, polished up bright, stamped
and labeled. The corn is now canned
and ready to be packed into boxes, two
dozen in a box, and sent to Portland or
Boston.

From the days of Socrates to Charles
Dickens there has been one long success
sion of unfortunate examples. Poet and
painter, dramatist and novelist, philoso-
pher and linguist-the Molieres, the Mil
tons, the Byrons, the Sheridans, the
Thackerays--dida all marry and quarrel
in the past All these men, without ex-
ception, will, in the future as in the past,
blame their wives for their several sue
cessive catastrophes. And yet what a
record of heartlessness and Indifference
our greatest men have left of their do
mestic life. DR.. Franklin, that old util-
itaran kite-hyer, went to Europe, leav-
ing his wife behind, and never saw her
for eleven years. She had shared his
poverty, practiced his poor Richard
maxims, pinched and economical,
patched and darned, worked early and
late, bred children, nursed them through
jaundiee, red gum, whooping-cough,
measles, scarlet fever and fits, while
Benjamin enjoyed the splendors of court,
velvet couches, great dinners and choice
society. OF course, when he came back
the poor drudge was no match for the
philosopher; there was great gulf
between them. That her heart re-
belled is manifested in the headstrong
acts of his children. He quarrelled
with one Of bis sons and disinherited one
of them. Then the mothers wrongs
were revenged. A just retribption for
any wrong on woman is sure to come in
the vice and crime of her children to the
third and fourth generations. Henry
Clay thought he could safely leave his
wife at Ashland to bear children and
make butter for the Lexington market
while he made laws for the nation and
love to the lovely women in Washington.
There his heart stood open as any board
ing-house door, but shut against her who
was playing Solomon's wise woman on
a farm in Kentucky, cutting out linsey
and jeans for the negroes His dream
of ambition over, sick and sad, he went
back TO Ashland to 6nd that the domestic
drudge, called by the holy name Of wife,
had reared up for him race of degen-
crate, wayward children He was filed
with the bitterness of disappointment.
But they measured the depth of the
mothers hamiliation; the angles of in
cidence and retaliation we're but equal.
Was it the sorrowful mother that made
one son crazy with hopeless love; an
other q SOUP discontented man, over
come through life with sense of inferi-
ority, aud jockeys and gamblers Of the
rest? ?"-Tbe Reeoluti0n

THE BEST GUN.
France Abandoning the Chassepot
aud Taking ZIP AN American

"tHBOns
From the Army and Navy Journal.l
The steamer Lafayette took out on
Tuesday last fifteen thousand Reming-
ton breech-loaders of the so-called Egyp-
tan pattern, caliber 43-l00, or eleven
milimeters, for the French government,
the Periere having taken FIVE thousand
two weeks ago. There were also on
board the Lafayette ten thousand Rem
ington army reyolvers, three thousand
carbines, and six million cartridges,
manufactured by the Union cartridge
company. This shipment of arms to
France, in itself of little Importance,
acquires significance from the fact that
the French authorities have determined
to throw away the Chassepot and arm
their soldiers with the Remington The
makers of that arm have orders not only
for all the rifles and cartridges in their
possession and all they can make in the
immediate future, but their manufactur-
ing resources are engaged for years to
come. Their order is indefinite, and
their hand will probably not be re-
strained until France has half million
or more of this arm.
unreservedly to American ingenuity for
relief With the same bold action which
she exhibited when rejecting an empire,
because imperialism had proved to be
unsound, she now throws away the Chas-
sepot Needle, paper cartridge, caout-
choue stopper, all 90 into ignominy with
Marshal LeB9uf their advocate. The
French select gun which embodies the
most advanced principle of breech-load-
ing arms, that of making the cartridge
something more than q magazine Of
powder and bullet-an integral part Of
the breech-closing apparatus. Brass
foil and paper denominations are flung
away. If France acts with similar vigor
in the further reorganization of her mil
itary powers she will not suffer long
under the imputation of deterioration.
There have been signs both before and
during this war that the Prussian leaders
were not altogether satisfied with their
needle-gun 1t can hardly be doubted
that the adoption of new weapon by
France will eventually lead to similar
change in the armament of Prussia The
nation in arms " will probably be soon
looking about for new rifle for each pair
of its hands. There are now said to be
something like sixty breech-loaders in
the field, and we may fairly claim that
the American arms - the Peabody,
Sharpe, Roberts, Berdan and others, be-
sides the Remington--are the best in the
world, both in principle and make. There
is also no other country in the world
which offers such facilities for rapid
manufacture of arms as America. Verify,
these are times for rifle-makers. The
great man of the nineteenth century is
no longer the merchant prince, but the
rihe-arm-and-battery-gun manufacturing
prince.
Among the ammunition carried by the
Lafayette were 400, 900 Spencer carbines
and a quantity of pistol cartridges,
which, having been once in the posses
sion Of the United States Government,
carried its brand. This ammunition was
sent by Messrs. Shuyler, Hartley & Gra-
ham, who purchased it from the Govern
ment, in accordance with its economical
custom of selling unneeded war mate
rial.
