An IMMENSE SNAKE SToRY.-A nov
ell affair recently took place in Marion
Co., Ohio, being no less than a snake
hunt on large scale. The reptiles had
become SO numerous, and so fearless of
people, that small children were afraid
to 60 to school and they even attacked
some adults, several having been bitten
on their boots, and it had become com.
mon thing for fifty or hundred snakes
to chase men women and children across
the prairie. A party was therefore or
ganized for their destruction, and the
snakes were surrounded and drove into a
twenty acre patch of prairie, and the
outer edges Of the tall grass set fire to.
The grass burned we'll, the flames rolling
up ten feet high and as the line ad-
vanced, the snakes retreated to the CEN
tire, sometimes making desperate efforts
to spring through the flames, but the
blaze being to heavy, they were killed in
the attempt. One blue,racer was nine
feet aud four inches long, ands inch
es in circumference,

REMARKABLE REsCUE.--ln the year
1923, Landamman Kasper, of Brandon
berg, the newly chosen Governor of Bel
lenz, was riding over the St. Gothard
from Zug, accompanied by his servant
and faithful dog. At the top of the
pass he and his servant were buried by
an avalanche, which descended from the
Lueendro. The dog alone shook himself
free. His first care was to extricate his
master. But when he saw he could not
succeed in doing this, he fastened back
to the hospice, and there bv pitiful howl
ing and whining, announced that an ac-
cident had happened. The landlord and
bis servant set outimmediately with shov-
els and pickaxes, aud followed the dog,
which ran quickly before them. They
soon reached the place where the ava
anche had fallen. Here the faithful Dog
stopped suddenly, plunged his face into
the snow, and began to scratch it up,
barking and whining. The men set to
work at once, and after long and diff
cult labor, succeeded in extricating e
Landamman, and soon afterwards his
servant. They were both alive, after
spending thirty-six fearful hours beneath
the snow, oppressed by the most painful
thoughts. They had heard the bowling
and barking of the dog quite plainly, and
had noticed his sudden departure, and
the arrival Of their deliverers they had
heard them talking and working, with
out being able to move or utter a sound.
The Landamman's will ordained that an
image of the faithful dog should be
sculptured at his feet on his tomb. This
monument was seen till lately in St. Os-
wald's Church, at lug.

A PLEA FOR THE LITTLE Folks. -
Don't expect too much of them; it has
taken forty years, it may be, to make
you what you now are, with all your les
sons of experience and / will dare say
you are faulty being at best. Above
all don't expect judgment in a child or
patience under trials. Sympathize in
their mistakes and troubles; don't ridi.
cule them. Remember not to measure a
childs trials by your standard. AS one
whom his mother comforteth," says the
inspired writer, and beautifully does he
convey to us the deed, faithful love that
ought to be found in every woman
heart, the unfailing sympathy with all
her children's grief. When / see chill
dren going to their father for comfort, |
am sure there is something wrong with
their mother
Let the memories of their childhood
be as bright as you can make them
Grant them every innocent pleasure in
your power. Wehave often felt our TEN.
per rise to see how carelessly their little
plans were thwarted by older persons,
when a little trouble on their part would
have given the child pleasure, the mem.
ory Of which would last a lifetime.
Lastly, don't think child hopeless be-
cause it betrays some very bad habits.
We have known children that seemed to
have been born thieves and liars, SO ear
ly did they display these undesirable
traits, yet we have lived to see those
same children become noble men and wo.
men and, ornaments to society. We
must confess they had wise, affectionate
parents. And whatever else you may be
compelled to deny your child by your
circumstances in life, give it what it most
values, plenty of love.

A TIGER SroRy-The following story
is told in letter from New Goa; "In
the province of Salcete is a village nam.
ed Cuncolim, where the Marquis Of From
terra, of Portugal, holds an extensive
dedproperty, and it is bounded ON two
sides by thicky-wooded hills whereon IT,
gers, leopards, jackals, wolves, hyenas,
and wild beasts reign supreme. One
evening, not long since, full-grown IL
ger entered the little village at the foot
Of the hill, and without ceremony walk
ed into poor mans cottage, at the hour
all the members of the family happened
to be absent at their daily vocations in
the field, with the exception of very
old woman. She, poor creature, no SOON
er realized the situation than she scream
ed Justify but not Justify enough to drive
the beast away from the place. The
poor woman next tried to effect her es-
cape from the cottage, but infirmity prov
ed bar to her realising her wishes in
this respect. The bloodthirsty animal,
therefore, leisurely approached and made
short work of his victim. The tiger
who hao entered the cottage by the front
door, now quietly walked through, out
by the back door which opened into one
of the most frequented lanes of the viii
lage. There he perceived, gathered to-
gether, u score or so of men, of all ages,
some with firearms in tn ir hands, others
with swords and sharp chaff.cutters, but
the majority thereof with thick, heavy
cudgels, and himself the subject of gem
eral observation and remark. To clear
road for himself, the tiger sprang and
caught one of the cudgel-men by the
throat. Short had been the cudgel-man's
shrift, had not a valiant Mussulman,
perched on the roof of the old woman's
cottage, sent bullet through the tigers
right thigh. This rendered the beast fu-
rious, and, perceiving the man from
whom he had received such unkindly
treatment, he, with tremendous roar,
sprang at one bound on the housetop be-
side the Mnssulman, who dropped his gun,
and shrieked foraid. The tiger seized him,
with one bound descended with him in
his jaws, and speedily made an end of
him. The friends of the deceased, by
this time also furious, and bent on VEN
geance, with butt-ends, swords, cudgels
and stones, brought the beast to the
ground, and so belabored him that, with
mighty howl, he expired"

SOME OF THE GREAT CONGRESSIONAL
ORAroRs OF PAST AeE.-How well l
remember some of the orators OF other
days-the men of the generation succeed
ing Andrew jackson Tie South always
predominated in fascinating and plausi'
BILE rhetoric. Winter Davis Of Mary
land, was at once logician and de-
claimer. His sharp tenor voice, his IN
cisiye sentences and ready wit, his hne
figure were admirably reinforced by
acute reasoning powers and admirably ie'
gal training. A rare specimen of the
same qualities was Judah ?. Benjamin.
of Louisiana, now practitioner before
the queens bench in London. His hand
some Jewish face, his liquid tones, and
easy enunciation. contrasted well with
his skill as debator, and his accuracy
as student. PIERRE Soule, a senator
from the same State, was different yet
as peculiar type. His swarIhy COM
plexion, black, flashing eyes and French
fled dress and speech, made him one of
the attractions of the Senate. lie is now
in his grave, after strangely e7enituI
and novel career. He was an artificial
man,-brilliant in repartee, yet subject
to fits of acknowledgements yet re-
served-proud but polite-in one word
such a contradiction as Victor Hugo,
with vast fund Of knowledge and de-
post of vanity which was neverexhaust-
ed. He was a ready-made secessionist
when the rebellion came, and yet bis
light shone feebly in that dark conspira-
cy. Virginia always had supply OF
goodspeakers. Thomas H. Bayley, with
his gold spectacles and ambrosial locks
and southern idiom, compound of the
negro and the scholar Charles james
Faulkner, with his pleasant smile, dandy
dress, and flowing phrases; james NJ.
Mason, with his Dombey diction and
pompous pretense ; r. M. I. Hunter,
with his quiet and careful conservatism
Roger A. Prior, with his impetuous and
dazzling temperament these were all
frst-class speakers, though as distinct as
their own faces. The nosiest man in the
immediate ante-war Congress was George
S. Houston of Alabama the most quar-
relsome was Keitt of South Carolina ;
the best tempered, Orr of the same state
the most acrid, George W. Jones of Ten
nessee; the jolliest, Senator Jere Glenn
ems Of Alabama; the most supercilious
Senator Slidell of Louisiana the most
genial, Senator Anthony Kennedy of
Maryland and the boldest and coarsest
Wigfall of Texas. Breckenridge was,
inmany respects, atrue orator, and seemed
to copy much from Clay and Crittenden.
Jefferson Davis was always a capital d.
alectician, not strong in argument, but
always stern in convictions. Hammond
of South Carolina had good presence
and persuasive tone, but was not a
great man. Toombs, of Georgia, was
the stormy petrol, often grand as de.
claimer, and always intolerant, dogmatic
and extreme. He was as violent in 1850
when he was Unionist, as he was in
1860, when he became secessionist.-

EDITING A NEwsPAPER.-We never
could see the virtue of the boast which
is so often made by the papers and mag
azines, that so large a portion of their
pages is original. Such originality is
often maintained at the expense of the
worth. The best exchanges of our ac-
quanitance are by no means those which
have the greatest amount of original
matter. There is more of editorial tact
and talent required to make proper and
practical selections, than is put in re-
quisation by the production of the vain
ting original papers, who seem to regard
originality as the only requisite for a
good periodical. A good newspaper is
always dependent upon other resources
than its own. And the cost of period
icai that is entirely original, is too often
like the boast of a library if it should
claim to have the production of only
one author elaaOarean.
