A NEW STYLE OF SNAKE.-Dr S. W Craw-
ford has exhibited snake captured bv him in
Western Virginia, which no naturalist who
has ever seen it can assign a place among the
KNOWN species. IL is Of a milk white color
from head TO tail, with the exception of a few
brown specks scattered along the back. II is
about five feet in length, and not more than
two and half inches in circumference at the
thickest part. 1t has no poison fangs in the
mouth, which is, however, provided with teeth,
as keen as cambria needles. The tail was sup
piled with a horny appendage about half an
inch in length, which it used with great effect
at the time of its capture.
Tue body is SO slender that when held up in
the light of the sun the light shines through it
precisely as when the fingers of the hand are
held before the light of jet of gas. 1t evil
IDENTIFY belongs TO the race OF constructors. DR..
Crawford, who handles it with the utmost free
dom, tells us that it will clap his arm with such
force as to stop the circulation of the blood On
one occasion, when he was exhibiting it, he had
allowed it to coil itself about his neck. AT this
moment young lady came up behind, and did

The only solid food it has taken during tbe
last three months is rat, which it first killed
after the approved method of constructors, by
crushing it in its folds, and swallowing 4
whole. DR.. Crawford has taught it TO drink
milk, and II daily consumes small quantities Q
this food.

A curious lawsuit is pending in Detroit TO de-
termine the right of property in a finger which
was once a part of Mr.. Charles Marshall, the
plaintiff, but is now in the possession of the de-
fendant, a gentleman of the same city. A Cir
cular saw took off the finger some time ago, and
as it could not be replaced, Marshall did not
take the trouble to find it. The defendant did
find it, and, taking it home, put it in jar of
spirits for preservation. He is fond of miscel-
laneous curiosities, and means to make this the
nucleus of private museum. The lawyers say
that the question of title is entirely new, and
that there is much to be urged on each side.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL &c, 1871,

The meeting at Mechanics hall this evening
will no doubt be fully attended. Its object is not
10 create feeling in this city in favor of extend
ing the Gardner railroad to Winchendon, but to
give expression to the feeling which already ex
lists. The question is whether scheme to
which no solid objection can be made, which is
believed by the people directly interested and
who are ready to pay for it, to be greatly to
their advantage, is to be defeated by logrolling,
lobbying or any other kind of legislative trckery
to suit the purposes of those concerned in rival

The reports of the dOings of the joint high
commission have been numerous and explicit
enough, and some of them arc perhaps authen-
tic, although it is hardly consistent with the
secrecy with which such negotiations are very
properly conducted that any summary of results
should transpire before the official announce
ment is made. We have not thought it worth
while to comment upon the necessarily imper-
feet and very likely incorrect rumors in regard
to the conclusions reached by the commission;
but some of our exchanges have been less eau
tous One, in particular, closes an article on
the subject with this iubilant paragraph:
1.-THE chief subject for graduation is the fidel-
1ty with which our members of the high com
mission have executed their important trust re-
hect1ng, as it does, the highest honor upon their
sagacious diplomacy, and equal honor upon the
prescience of the executive who made such adj
mirable selections of agents to conduct these
comprehensive and delicate negotiations Pres
ident Grant will be able TO point to no more con-
vincing evidence of his administrative skill,
than when be notes the work of the high com
mission, which has at once been so discreet and
considerate, and SO jealous of the honor Of the
American name and the preservation of Ameri-
can interests. With one accord let us acknowl-
edge our obligations and award our unqualified
praises"
We hope that these praises and congratula-
tons may prove TO be well deserved, and we
have no reason to doubt that the American
members Of the commission have been faithful
and sagacious guardians of the national honor
and interests; but the direct evidence of this is as
yet very slender, however strong may be the in
herent probability Of it. There is an old
proverb which advises not to compute the num-
Der Of the brood until the natural period of in
cubation has expired, and another which sno.
gests the propriety of retaining from vocifer.
Gus outcries until the boundaries of the forest
have been actually passed. 1t is possible that
the troublesome questions with which the com.
mission had to deal have not been settled, and il
is also possible that the disposition made OF
them, while we may he willing to accept it, is
not such that we can be very proud of it, OF
find in it occasion for enthusiastic congratula
ton.

BRAINW EIGHT.-An eminent German pro-
fessor once assumed that, as a certain size and
mass of brain is essential for the exercise of the
mental faculties, therefore all the human race
must be furnished with an equal amount of
brains. This truly Teutonic theory has since,
however, been effectually dissipated An elabo.
rate paper was read, not very long ago, before
the royal society, in which the existing evidence
as to the weight of brain among different ma
lions was analysed. The average brain-weight
for the English is stated to be 1850 ounces; Tor
the French, 445S; for the Germans, 42.S3 but
tnefe are discrepancies in the results Of different
observers, some giving greater average than
inns to the Germans. The Italians, Lapps
oWedes, frisans and Dutch come into the same
category with the English. Among the Asiatc

The imported English sparrows, whose
efficiency in destroying the canker worms has
been such a blessing to some of our cities, are
beginning to get bad name, and some people
declare that bringing them here at all was a
mistake. In the cities their conduct is admitted
to be exemplary and their usefulness ind;s-
putable; but in the rural districts they are re-
ported to be guilty of various transgressons
and failures in duty. Everybody knows, and the
sparrows ought to know it as well as anybody,
that they were brought to this country for the
special purpose of helping to keep the canker
worms in subsection. Yet they are accused of
shamefully neglecting this charge and rioting in
the farmers grain fields, quite indifferent to the
fact that millions Of the odious little green
crawling things are devouring the leaves Of the
apple and elm trees close by. 1t is also charged
against them that they show an intolerably
iusolent and tyrannical disposition toward
the native birds of our woods and orchards
The robin, as he returns in the spring
to his favorite apple tree, finds pert and pug
nacious sparrow already in possession, who not
only defes him to occupy his accustomed sum-
mer quarters, but will not tolerate his presence
in the neighborhood. TIE oriole, too, is made
an object of this imputent squatter's per-
secutons, and is driven away from places
which he has haunted for many years
| with his flashes of brilliant color and
his bursts of plaintive melody. The spar
row, piquant and picturesque as he is, has
neither the beauty nor the musical gifts to make
good the place of these birds whom he threat
ems to drive away from the neighborhood of our
hnmns
