Narrow Escape from Death.

We shuddcr as we make the following state
ment, received from the lips of the young gem
tleman himself, and which we are enabled to
youch for in every minute particular. 1t is an
escape from almost certain and horrid death,
and constitutes one of the few exceptions to
the deadly bite of the rattlesnake, which has
generally been regarded by the medical frater-
nifty as necessarily fatal. The following are the
facts of the case:
On Wednesday morning at eight O'Clock
young man named John Hill, about eighteen
years of age, went to the mill of Mr.. King sit
uated on the Canal, on business while waiting
to see Major King, he crossed the Canal, and
went into the low bushes on the opposite side ;
when near the foot of an old cypress tree his
attention was directed to noise, which he took
to be the cracking of dried twigs beneath him; ;
a repetition of the noise directed his gaze I'M
mediatelv in front and to the right OF him.
when to his horror he saw all immense snake
coicd and in the attitude Of striking, within
two feet of his person nervous terror seized
him, and collecting his scattered thoughts, he
attempted to escape from his perilous position,
and while in the act of getting up was struck
by the venomous reptile in the right arm, about
two inches from the wrist. With spasnodic
effort, he threw the snake from him, which fell
about the same distance as it had originally
made the attack, and while IN the act OF again
coiling for second blow, Mr.. Hill had the
presence of mind to take up a knot lying at his
feet and by fortunate blow struck the reptile
in the head, killing him. 1t was rattlesnake
with twenty-five rattles and button, and con-
sequently twenty-five years old The virus
rapidly spread up the arm and insensiblity
soon intervencd, fortunately not before the
young man had made his way out of the bushes
to the high ground beyond, where some negroes
were at work connected with the mill. They
took him there Immediately, and Mr.. King
being present, sent off Immediately for whiskcy
and tobacco, freely administering large doses.
Drs. Reed, Martin and Walsh were summoned,
and the opinion was expressed that amputation
would be necessary as the only resort to save
life Choroform, spirits and tobacco were
freely used in large quantities, which fortunate
ly proved an electual remedy. Yesterday We
saw Mr.. Hill, who detailed the above. He is
still, by the advice of his physicians, drinking
large quantities Of spirits, and walking about.
The swelling Of the arm and the other we'll
defined symptoms attending the bite of the ven
omous reptile have subsided, and the only indi-
cation TO be seen is the weli-defned marks of the
fang of the snake on the arm as above stated,
with considerable nervous excitement. The
snake was carried home by the brother of the
young man, and is preserved, indicating the
age above mentioned.-Sardnndh Ners.

A Female SherifI-HoW She Suppressed a
Jail Revolt.

Much interest has been excited by the i'm
panelling of a jury of women in Wyoming
Territory, and the appointment of females as
notaries public and to other civic functions
heretofore supposed to be irrevocably reserved
to the masculine sex. 1t is reserved to Iowa,
however, to produce the first female Sheriff, and
to Des Moines county to be the first in the State
to accord to woman the difficult and trying
duties of the Sheriffalty. 1t is true the people
have not formally elected lady as Sheriff of
this county, but in so far as practice is better
than precept," the substance superior to the
shadow, and the deed greater than the name,
to that extent Des DIoines county has lady
Sheriff, or at least lady Deputy Sheriff OF
course we allude to the estimable wife of our
worthy Sheriff, j. H. Latty, Esq Mrs. Latty
at various times has displayed a remarkable
GOODNESS and nerve in the management of the
county Jail, over which she presides with a
| firmness of judgment and Vi igor of rule rarely
excelled by the best of prison wardens
At one time desperate confined in one OF
the cells attempted to escape by making man
of straw reclining upon his couch as usual,
while the flesh and blood prisoner secreted him
self in an empty cell and waited the advent OF
Mrs. Latty, who, in the absence of her husband,
entered the jail room to lock up prisoners for
the night When she came to the cell con-
| tanning the man of straw, a very clever lmlta-
ton of man asleep, she called his name, and,
hearing 10 response, entered and detected the
cheat. Instead of calling for help in an emer-
gency which plainly indicated a plot, and de-
Termination upon the part of one or moro pris-
oners to break Jail, Mrs. Latty quietly pro-
ceeded to the other cell and marched the pro-
spcctivc fugitive back to his cell and locked
him up. As he was a heavy muscular man,
and the Deputy Sheriff slender, light-built
woman, it is evident that nerve triumphed over
muscle Womanly courage was more than Il
match for brutal force and the desperation OF
the criminal seeking to flee from the hands OF
justice. :,
On another OCCASION two young men in cell
refusing to cease their profane and boisterous
language, the Deputy entered the cell and gave
them a sound 1ogging with whip, until, with
tears in their eyes, the rascals promised better
behavior.
The last exploit of our Deputy, and one
which recalled to our mind the preceding Incl
dents, was the taking of a prisoner to the peni-
tentiary few days ago \ man who had been
arrested for stealing carpet bag at the Union
depot in this city last January was sentenced
at the last term of the District Court to two
years Imprisonment in the penitentiary, and
was taken to Fort Madison by Mrs. Latty alone
without any assistance from others, and duly
delivered to Warden Kelsey. The astonish-
ment of the Warden and the Fort Madisonians
knew no bounds.-Bwlington Hawk Eye.

The Art of Reticencc.

But there is art, the most consummate art
in appearing absolutely frank, yet never telling
ANYTHING which it is not wished should be
known, in being pleasantly chatty and CONVEX
sational, yet never committing oneself to a
statement or an opinion which might be used
against one afterward-ars est celare artem, in
keeping ones own counsel rs well as in other
things. 1t is only after long acquaintance
with this kind of person that you find out he
has been substantially reticent throughout,
though apparently so frank. Caught by his
easy manner his genial talk, his ready sympa-
thy, YOU have conidcd to him not only all you
have of your own, but all you have of other
people, and it is only long after, when you
reflect quietly, undisturbed by the magnetism
of his presence, that you come to the knowledge
of how rcticcnt he has been in the midst OF
this seeming franEncsS, and how little recip-
rocity there has been in your condolences to-
gcthcr. You know such people for years, and
YOU never know really more OF them at the end
than YOU did in the beginning. You cannot
law YOUR finger on Il fact that would iii any way
place them in Your power; and though you did
not notice it at the time, and don't know how
it has been done now, You feel that they have
never trusted you, and have all along carefully
avoided anything like confidence. Bat you are
at their mercy by your own rashncsS, and if
they do not destroy you, it is because they arc
reticcnt for you as well as toward you perhaps
because they are good-naturcd, perhaps because
they dcspisc you for your very frankncss too
much to hurt you; but, above all things not
because they are anablc. How you hate them
when YOU think of the skill with which they
took all that was offered to them, yet never let
you see they gave nothing oack for their own
part-rather by the jugglcry of manner made
you believe that they were giving back as much
as they were receiving.
Perhaps it was 4 little urgcncrous; but they
had the right to argue that if You could not
keep your own counsel you would not be likely
to keep theirs, and it was only kind at the time
to let yon hoodwink yourself so that you might
not be offended. In manner genial, frank, con-
vcrsational, sympathetic-in substance abso-
lutely secret, cautious, never taken off their
guard, never scduccd into dangerous confidence,
as careful for their friends they are for them
selves, and careful even for strangers unknown
to thcm-thcse people are the salvation as they
arc the charm of society; never making mis-
chief, and, by their habitual reticence, raising
up barriers at which gossip halts and rumor

TIME.-Whcn I look upon the tombs of the
great every emotion of envy dies in me. When
l read the cpitaph of the beautiful, every inor-
dinate desire dies out. When see the tombs

of grieving for those whom we mast quickly

deposed them, when l see :ival wits placed side
by side, or holy men that divided the world
with their contests and disputes, | reflect with
sorrow and astonishmcnt OH the little competl-
tions, factions and debates of mankind. When

years ago, 1 consider that great day when we
shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our
appearance togcthcr-Addison.

Fonl;shness of Intemncranee.

The habit of drinking is, to our mind, the
most inexcusable piece of destructive nonsense
in the world. And no where is it more preva-
lent than in cities The money poured down
the throats Of men each year is greater than is
expended for improvements Whiskey shops,
saloons, and all sorts Of irrational devices and
places to fool away money, are found by the
hundreds and thousands in cities If man is
tired, he drinks if at work he drinks. lfdoing
nothing he must have a nip every hour. If too
warm he must have julip; too cold a hot whskcy.
If he is by himself, out comes flask or bot
tie if in company, he stands treat till his mon
ey is all gone them like "dead beat, he sits
around till some one asks him up.
a man of moderate salary steps into saloon,
invites half dozen friends to drink, pays halt
dollar or more, and walks out. Three or four
times day he repeats this, and always drinks
when asked. 1t is social. Men mean nothing
by it. But during the week half mans salary
is poured down his throat, destroying his
stomach and weakening his nerves, over-eXc-
ting his brain, and rohbng himself and family
of money needed for other purposes. But it is
social.
Drink in the morning, at noon, at night,
then few between drinks. The brain whirls
the hand grows unsteady-thc pocket grows
empty-thc home ones sutfcr--the eyes look red
and trcmulous, as II ashamed-ambition Is
drowned in poison. Pretty soon, poor fellows,
he is unfit for busincss-hc makes mistakes.
He is sick, unable to work. He is not to be re-
lied on. He leaves his place and in time finds
poorer one. Then he feels bluc-drinks still
more, his family suffers, he leaves his p lace
again and at last dies wreck But it is social.
We believe man has no right to kill HIM
self suddenly or by slow poison. 1t may be
none of our business in the abstract, yet We are
sorry to see men fooling themselves away, dying
like weeds in gutter when they might be men,
upright, healthy, loved and useful, of benefit to
themselves and others. And this is why we
write against intcmpcrancc. Health is too
precious to be wasted. Manhood is too noble
to be thrown into the gutter. Life is too sweet
to be druggcd with poisons now compounded
and sold as liquors. To drink poison may be
social, but it costs too much for us or any man
who loves himself or others Who of our
readers dare think of this matter and act as
their better judgment shall dictate

"The result is well known. In less than five
hours Mr. Davis was prisoner, but the
archives were safe. Nhcn n few weeks after,
in the reccsses Of the forest Tilghman learned
that all was lost, he alone, and with his own
hands buried the treasure and archives, and,

STEAM TRIUMpHs OVER MUsCLE.--Twe
young men from the country called in at a De-
troit foundry, Il few days ago, to get piece of
casting for some farm machinery. The em-
ployecs were absent at their dinners, with the
exception of the engineer, who was oiling up
the engine for the afternoons work. 1t was
running at low speed, and pumping water into
the boiler. The country cousins looked with
interest at It's motions and the slow revolution
of the large fy-wheel, and fell into discussion
as to the relative power of steam and human
muscle One of them finally offered to bet a
dollar that he could grab" the huge wheel and
hold it. He stepped up to the engineer and
asked permission to try it, which was readily
granted, and, taking off his coat and rolling u!'
his sleeves braccd himself for the effort Watch
ing carefully until the Fright spoke came around,
with yell, to encourage himself, he clurchcd
it. He didn't exactly stop the wheel, in fact,
he went over it without stopping, and was dis
charged in a parabolic orbit through space,
coming down in a sand heap in the further part
Of the foundry. He was picked up a thorough
ly disgrlsted man, and so lame that he was
obliged to climb into his wagon at the back end,
quite satisfied, however, that steam was too
much for him.
