Grand Gift Enterprise.

lnplacing beforeour rea derS the grand
gift enterprise inargurated by the Musical
Society of Milwaukee, Wis, we wish to
recommend the merits OF the scheme TO
their careful consideration. The origlna-
tors of the enterprise are well and honora-
bly, known throughout the country, there
being very few musical organizations of
equal merits in the United States. Within
the twenty years of its existence, this
Musical Society has gained the universal
esteem and support Of Hilwaukeans as one
of their most prominent institutions. For
this reason the mos widely known business
men of that city, foremost among whom is
the Hon. ALEXANDER MITCHELL, President
Of the Milwaukee Il st. Paul X. R., apd
Repr, sentative in Congress of the first dis
trct OF Wisconsin, have not only given
their endot sement, but al,o their active in
fluence to this eat rprise, which is to take
the last obstacle of the Societys future
wsv, by ameliorating the state OF its tinan-
cial affairs. The scheme so endors d can
not but meet with confidence snd universal
favor Eighty Thousand Dollars in green
backs are TO be distributed, among which
there is one prize OF S25, 600, and many
others amounting to large sums. The
tickets are sold at $500. Mr. II. n, Hemp
sted, tbs well known. music dealer OF Mil
waukee, is the general agent OF the enter
prise.

and stated that she was going to leave.
Col Jones told her she was not able to
walk, and he would send her horne.
This she declined. He then offered
her street car ticket, telling her she
could take the John street line, and
thus save herself long walk. This,
also, she declined, and left the hospital
on foot. Her manner during this in
terview Was perfectly composed, and
nothing indicated that she meditated
the fatal step, upon which she must
then have been resolved.
Two hours later her body was found
in the canal by some coopers at work
at No. Al Brown street. The coroner
WAS at oncc notified, and proceeded to
hold an inquest

The SpakeCharmers,

Among the sights bordering on the
marvellous which attract the travellers
attention in Egypt, beyond even the
magician who processes to summon the
dead to life, may be mentioned the
interesting performances of the snake
charmers. These men belong to the
order Of Riface Defvishes. They pro-
less to discover the presence of any
venomous snakes which may be con-
cealed in the house, very common
occurrence in the warm climate OF
Egypt, and, if there be such snakes, to
allure them from their hiding place.
The first measure usually resorted TO
by the wary spectators is to cause the
performers to be thoroughly searched
in the court yard previously to their
being introduced into the interior OF
the house, lest they may have snakes
hidden either in the folds Of their caf-
tans," or long flowing robes, or IN those
of their li6os, or baggy trousers1
Sometimes they are forced to deposit
their voluminous garments in some
corner of the courtyard, and, as an
additional precaution, they are made to
tuck up the loose sleeves of fheir KAN
is, or shirts after these have been caro-
fully examined as the rest of their
clothes.
When all possible precautions have
been taken, the snake-charmers are
allowed to enter the house. Immedi-
ately upon admission they assume an
air of mystery, strike the walls and
floor with short palm stick, whistle,
make chucklng noise with the
tongue, and spit on the ground exclalm-
ing, 81 adjure ye, ifye be above or be-
low, that We come forth; radjure ye,
by the most great name if We be obed
lent, come forth and, if ye be dlsobe
dent, die die" However close may
have been the previous search In every
corner of the apartment and in every
piece Of furniture and hanging drapery,
in about ten minutes, generally speak
ing after these ordinations, q snake Is
dislodged from one of the projecting
cupboards with which most rooms are
lined, or drops from the woodwork OF
the ceiling. The result of any incred-
ulous expression on the part of the
spectator, who may imagine the snake
to be harmless, is to make the snake
charmer excessively indignant. He
generally seizes one of the snakes by
neck, and, after displaying his fangs,
tears him to pieces with his teeth,
splitting out the bits on the ground with
excited, defiant air.
The only solution of this mystery is,
that as these dervishes make it prac-
tice to tame snakes, live habitually with
them, and are not very clearly in their
habits, their bodies and clothes become
deeply impregnated with the pungent
oil which collects on the surface of the
snakes skin, and thus the latter reptile,
being gifted with strong olfactory
nerves, is immediately made aware Of an
odor which appears to indicate the
presence of members of his family, and
comes forth from his hiding place to
greet them
