NAPOLEON,s ESCAPE FROM METZ

The Metz correspondent of the New
York Herald writes:
One of the singular incidents in the
late retreat from Metz is reported to-day,
and to the effect that the Emperor and
his son had very narrow escape from
being taken prisoners. They passed along
a road on their way from Metz to Verdun
which only few minutes later was occu-
pied by the advance guard of Gen. Stein
metz. The Imperial escort was much too
small to resist, and they would have been
bagged beyond redemption. NapoleOn's
luck, then, has not entirely deserted him,
as we see from this. When he got to
Verdun he decided to push on to Chslons,
but there was only a third-class wagon
there, without top and hard benches.
"That's good enough for me, said the
Emperor, with smile, and in he popped,
with his lively young heir behind him,
and after Quaffing glass of wine, which
a railway official offered him, away they
dashed for Chalons, and arrived in safety,
to the music of an unceasing cannOnade
all around them. Napoleon is calm, but
sad enough. His enemies at home and
abroad are chuckling over his misfortunes,
and predict it is all up with him. The
London Times feels quite sure that its
pets, the Orleans Princes, are blooming
in the distance" For one, don't give
up the Emperor, and l don't believe
France will, which is rather more import
ant to him. Nous UeIrons, as Father
Richie used to say.

PLAYING WITH DEATH.
A Fatal Result-TerribIe Fate of a
Snake Charmer

Snake Charmer.
From the LitchheId (Conn Enquirer.
Last week an old man named John
Roberts, commonly known as the Noun
tain Hermit, who has lived for many
years in that portion of Mt. Washington
which borders on the three States of Con-
necticut Massachusetts and New York,
met with frightful death from the bite
of a rattlesnake. Roberts, for years
past, has been in the habit of catching
these reptiles and exhibiting them in the
neighboring towns. Occasionallyhe would
allow himself to be bitten, claiming to pos
sess remedy which rendered the bite per-
fcctly harmless; and, indeed, if reports of
eye witnesses are to be credited, the old
man has proved himself invulnerable to
snake bites. Last summer he was bitten
on three different occasions, while hand
ling his snakes, but after few days of
retirement he again appeared apparently
as well as he did before. Last week,
however, he viper which he has so often
cherished in his bosom was destined to
inflict its fatal sting. On Thursday Rob-
erts appeared at the hotel in Boston Cor
ners with an unusually large and fero-
cious rattlesnake, which he had captured
the day previously, on the mountain.
Quite number of people soon gathered
in the bar-room to witness the exhibition,
as his reputation as snake charmer was
well known. At the first attempt to remove
the snake from the box Roberts received
bite which caused the blood to flow
freely Nothing daunted he introduced
his hand second time, when the snake
sprang at it and buried its fangs deep in
the flesh. Roberts withdrew his hand
with the snake still fastened to il, and
although he mads desperate efforts to
free himself, the snake retained its hold.
AT length he grasped cane from one of
the bystanders, who had been unable to
assist, and inserting the point deep down
between the jaws of the reptile, pried
open its mouth, and threw it
from him with such force as
to kill it instantly. The wounded
man was Immediately taken to the Office
of DR.. Stillmsn, in Millerton, who made
every effort to save his life. But the virus
had become too generally diffused through
out the system to be removed. His coun-
tenance soon changed to livid hue, the
body and limbs became enormously dis
tended, and after lingering through the
night in agony, death ended his suffering.
Mr.. Roberts was man over so years of
age, and possessed considerable proper
ty. Since the death of his wife, which
many years ago, ne has lived
q hermit life on the mountain. Neighbors
seldom visited him by reason of the vast
number of rattlesnakes with which he
was always surrounded, and which he al
lowed to run at large throughout the
house.
