Walking on the Water.

Recently. says Paris correspondent,
a boatman, for q wager crossed the
Seine on foot, at point opposite the
Institute. lie wore wooden shoes OF
great length, and carried an oar to bal
snce himself. Thus equipped, he'pass.
ed safely from one block of ice to an
other, although the current of the river
was not completely stopped. The feat
ras one which few men living have eyel
seen accomplished. The joy of the vic

arrested on reaching the shore by po
licemen, who were of opinion that be
had transgressed rules. He was taken
by the Jealous agents before Conmis

him.

A Snake in Eove wi.ss a Woman.

n most extraordinary and astonish
ing incident is reported to have recent
lv occurred near Bsyiore in India, tie
particulars of which, gained from the
Western India) Star, we condepse as
follows: 1t appears that native female,
Of a very attractive appearance, while
sweeping the yards Of her house, heard
a Kissing noise behind her. As she
turrel to see what it was she found to
her terror large cobra advancing to-
ward her. Before she had time to call
any one to her assistance, or even to go
from the place, the serpent darted at
her like lightning, and coiled round one
Of her legs, and in The twinkling of an
eye darted higher and higher till il
brought its open hood in contact with
her face, there moving it to and fro like
screen. In this pitisb!e and fri9htful
position she had to remain for nearly one
or two days without being able to lie Oh
sleep. None but females could approach
her to feed her with milk and plantains
when, it is said, the cobra turned its
head to one side and gave her ample
time to nourish herself. But on any
men stepping into the compound the
cobra would hiss fearfuily and tighter
its hold roIRd her body in such man
ner as to make her feel hreathless.-
Many were the coDjurors who come te
relieve her from her frightful condition
but none succeeded in removing tn,
huge serpent from her person, till lat
terry a serpent charmer was brough
from the interior, who, after performing
certain charms and spells, succeeded il
disentapsling the poor woman from he
venomsus lover, the snake quietly creep
ing back into the bush, out of which i
at first emerged, The woman is repor
ted as doing well, while the occurrence
itself is almost the sole subject of con
rersation among the natives of tina

Fgsss's REPLY IN ENGLAND,
Not n EarlsaiDg TO be Paid TO
Consequential Damages,

From the London Times, February %.
Nothing could be more absurd than
sn abandonment Of our position be-
cause the Ministry have receired civil
reply from Washington. Is it supposed
that wha! we wanted was an angry re
ply, and that, having failed in provoking
one, we yield at once and admit the
American case without further question ?
The negotiation Of the Treaty Of Wash
ington has not given US an exalted no
ton Of diplonscy, but we have comfor
ted ourselves by thinking that it was
only to amateur diplomatists that our
interests at Washington were cenfded !;
II, hsweyer, the diplomatists at Paris
can really believe that we will submit
to the authority of the arbitrators on
the question OF indirect damages be-
cause we have received soft answer,
we shall he tempted to give up diploma
cy altogether. We do not intend to pay
anything in respect to consequential
damages, and the reason why we cannot
consent to go on with the arbitration il
the claim for consequential be pressed
is that it is neither just to ourselves, nor
to the tribunal before which we should
appear, to allow question to lie argued
which we insist is not within the refer
enee, and any determination Of which
we are determined beforehand to treat
as nullity. This is our position and
it can not lie too clearly understood -
What may he the result Of the difficulty
we know net and it does not rest with
ourselves; hut it never shall he laid to
our charge hereafter that taa Treaty Of
Washington WAS abortire because we
did not make our Hsanng plain when
the question OF its construction arose.
