THE Gypsy SPIDER DANCE IN MADRID
Mr.. Adees TYPES of Castiian Fagnncy,
in the January number of Lippincott's Maga
zinc, contaius this graphic little sketch:
"a strolling band Of gipsics have made their
way to Madrid from their slvory haunts afar
among the orange groves and Moorish ruins OF
Andalusia, They have pitched their tents just
outside the Arch Of Carlos ILL., in the vicinity
of the bulshamblcs. and arc now fixed for at
least and at most fortnight. They came to
town with one eye to business and the other to
thicving. But very picturesque and come|y
orc they here and everywhere, singing and
dancing and sitting among the rocks. There
are men and women--children in plenty, too,
but they are left at home, wherever that may
be. The men are habtcd in breeks, shirts,
Jackets, leggingS SaShcS and round pork-pie
hats, all of brilliant tnts the women in kr-
ties, waists, gay ShawlS, and snowy stockings,
with their black, glossy tresscs thrown back
and decked with bright ribbon or flower. The
men have guitars and bandolins, the women
eastanets, which they rattle bravely. They
are about to tread the mazy measures OF the
dance in concert. Away starts the music OF
guitar and castanet. Quick as lightning the
women, brown and beautiful, catch up their
skirts between the thumb and torcfiuger and
bound into Il waltzips action sideways, without
turning. Those of the men who have not n-
struments, caught by the infection, spriug for
ward and Join the women III the same wild
movement. Claug go the guitars and bando
linS, click the castanctS. SWaylng, Stooplug,
gracefully keeping tine with head and body,
twisting, ogling, making at each other, gliding
coquettishly out of reach whlrng, dodglng,
now gently, now fcrccly, with here hate, there
fondnesS, and always the delicious rhythm of
motion and music in it, those wild, handsome
people personate all the mad intatuaton. Of
passion in its very truitioD. 1t is the terrible
Tarautula, the spider dance, full Of subtle poi
son to the senses.

A COBRA IN lNDIA.-A very extraordinary
and astonishing incident was lately reported to
have occurred few miles from Bcyporc, the
particulars of which are as follows:
A native female, Of very attractive appear
ance, Of the carpenter caste. while sweeping the
yard Of her house, heard u Kissing noise be-
hind her. As she turned to see what it was,
she found to her terror a large cobra advancing
toward her. Before she had time 70 call any
oue to her assistance, or even to 90 from the
place, the serpent darted at her like light
ming, coiled around one of her legs, and in the
twinkle of an eye darted higher and higher till
it brought it's open hood in contact with her
face. there moving it to and fro like a screen
In this pitabe and frghtful position she had
to remain for nearly one or two days without
being able to lie or sleep. None but females
could approach her to feed her with milk and
plantans, when the cobra turned It's head to
one side and gave her ample time to nourlSh
herself; but on any man stepping into the
compound the cobra would hiss tearfully, and
tighten its hold around her body in such
manner as to make her feel breathleSs. Many
were the conurors who came to relieve her
from the frightful condition, but none succeed
ed in removing the huge serpent from her per
son, till latterly Nair was brought from the
Interior who, after performing certain charms
and spclls. succeeded in diseutangling the poor
woman of her vcpomous lover. The snake
nuietlv crcpt back into the bush whence it
came, and the woman Is now dong well.
The above wonderful occurrence Is now gen
crl talk anon" the natives OF the place.

MAN WITH A BROAD ANE.-r There is man
living in Chapel district named l!li, who IS
probably the most expert man with broad
axe in the State Sometime ago in the presence
of several gentlemen he threw his axe some
distance and stuck it into log. Drawing ont
the axe. he told man present to stick gram
ofcoru in the cut, and he would throw again
and split the grain of corn open. The corn was
put in the place; he threw again and split 1t
omen. A gentleman standing by, believing it
chance throw said he would give HIM dollar
if he could do it again lie threw again, s|pht
open the grain Of corn, and pockcted the dollar,
4 second and third dollar was won IN the same a!
way The man with the grecn6acSs,, hnulnS
that Dill was throwing on certainty, drew on;
DilI then stuck an eight-penny nail IN the end enc
of log, threw at it, and drove It up to the
head with the eye of his Axe. This was n toe
much for the excitable man with the dollars !n
who said. I'Ic give you another dollar II you
can do that again. The nail was put IN place;
Din threw, drove it up again and pocSeteu the
dollar The greenback man ventured another
dollar and lost. Having lost five dollars, ht
came to the conclusion that the expert aSe"aU
WAS too much for him-Ei,ston StW.

DISCOVERING a LOST HUSBAND: For sew
eral days lady from Glasgow, Mo, nam
ed Stiusley, has been in this city in search
of her husband, who has been at work as Il
laborer on the bridge during the winter, put
who. for some unexplained cause, had lett
there and was working in the city. The lady
made diligcnt inquiries all around town for her
cigc lord, but all her searching and the help
of others failed to elicit the desired intorma,,
ton until she happened to think of a small
''blonde dog. with Stumpy tail and his cars
cut off. which she said was the constant COM
pauion of her husband. One of the boys who
lives at the Valley House, where she is stop
ping, happened to sec dog Of this description
last Saturday. on Church street and forthwith
he captured the canine and bore HIM IN trl-
umph to the delighted lady, who immediately
recognized him as her husbands pet. The
dog, however, was not exactly the member OF
the family she was the most anxious about
strange to say and she was almost dcspond-
ing. Then the han,sy thought of tying u note
to his neck suggested itself to her, and she
forthwith acted upon the suggestion, and the
dor was turned out to seek his master. The
result was Just what was hoped for, and In two
hours the husband was in the arms of his over
loved wift.-.M yo~7'h (-No.( H'"M
