Stop that Interest.


Daniel Webster once dined with an
old Boston merchant, and when they
came to the wine dusty old bottle was
carefully Ilecanted by Peter and passed
to the host. Taking the bottle he poured
Mr.. Webster's glass and handed 1t to
him. Then pouring out another for
himself, he held it to the light and said:
How do you like il, Mr.. Webster"
81 thinkn a Sery fine specimen of

"Now You can't guess what that cost
me-" said the host.
"Surely not,'' said Mr.. Webster. 81
only know that it is excellent"
''Well, now can tell you, for made
a careful estimate the other day. When
add the interest to the first price,
find that it costs me the sum of just one
dollar and twenty cents glass!"
"Good gracious! you don't say so?"
said Mr.. Webster, and then draining
his glass he hastily presented it again,
with the remark:
Fill it up again as quick as you can,
for want to stop that confounded in

One of the features of sea voyage
which it is very dificllt for a lsndsman
to accustom himself to, Is the entire sb-
sence of all news from the outside world.
Accustomed as we are to have our daily
paper on our table every morning, and
to glance over the news that untiring
correspondents have CLEANED from all
parts of the world, it seems q strange
to pass day after day In en-
tire ignorance of whatever is transpir-
ing among the busy haunts of men.
The ships company is, for the time be-
ing, ,a'commnnity apart by itselfsand is
has to live as K were in world Of its
own--aThe letters that await us at our
end are read with q hunger
ing delight and enjoyment such as we
do not feel at other times. With an ap-
petite, ,sharpened. by abstinence, We ca
gerly glance over the files of newpa-
pers, and we ofearh TO appreciates how
much we are indebted to the press for 3
large share of our enjoyment and in
struction.

A Snake Story.

On Saturday night, Sept. 2lst, Mr..
George w. Byron brought to town two
small snakes, resembling somewhat the
famous viper of Egypt. Snakes are not
such uncommon appearances as to eli
cit any particular comment or notice on
our part. But there are peculiar cir
cumstances surrounding the finding of
these serpentine specimens of animated
nature which certainly require special
notice. In saving log at Landis' mill
these serpents were found in a small
hollow, just large enough to contain
them, with a solid mass of wood sur
rounding them, it being one foot to the
nearest surface of the log. 1t would be
hard to believe the statement ofa stran-
ger as to these. facts, but George By
rom's yeracity is undoubted, even if it
were not confirmed by the testimony of
Captain Landfs-and if our friend By
rom was in the habit of imbibing cold
Rye" very freely, and had not produced
the snakes, we might deem him Il VIC
tim of that terrible visitation of Provi-
dence known as "delirium tremens."
But as he is sober man, and has
brought up the serpenss (Which may, be
seen at DR.. Salmon's drug store), we
are compelled to believe his story.
Moreover, such things have been
known before. Naturalists record in
stances of reptiles, snakes and frogs
having been found in solid logs and
even in solid rocks. This Is the first
ease of the kind with which we have
met fully verified by the testimony OF
men whose reputation for truth and
vericity is unimpeachable.. We leave
scientific men to account for these facts.
which seem to be out of the ordinary
course of nature. s- r rf;.s

An Impartial Judge.

Oswego county, New York, boasts of
a Justice of the Peace who flashes out
in the annals of local frame as arrang-
ing himself for a delinquency. The
Justice of the Peace referred to (no
matter about his name or where he be-
longs possesses the excellent attributes
of integrity, ability, and worth, but on
one occasion he forgot his magisterial
integrity. He let down in a weak mo-
ment the judicial bars which should
hedge him in and roamed into the field
of Bacchus. In short. on a recent Oc-
casion he imbibed too much strong
drink, and in consequence awOke with
realizing sense of that fact next morn
ing.
Now here was pretty go. A Justice
of the Peace had been on bender, or
part of one. A man who was appoint
ed to swing the fail of justice over the
heads of poor unfortunate fellows, wan
dering over into the wrong pasture
himselfr' But there it was. He felt
reminded of it i'm the occasion throbs
of headache. But what was to be done.
The more he viewed it the more he be-
came disgusted with himself. He made
up his mind. He would attend to this
case He would vindicate the outraged
law. si'.rai3. $50 rl'f
r. So at the, usuai hour he entered his
office. He formally opened court, and
then he called his own name is defend
ant in a suit in which ''the people,
charged him with an offense against the
law, went over the circumstances in de-
tail so far as he could remember them,
read "the' statutes in such cases made
and provided" and then asked the
prisoner what he had to say. In the
role of prisoner he pleall guilty to the
offense, said it was shame for a man
of his years and position, but hoped
"the Court" would not be too severe on
him, as he was determined to reform.
."sThe prisoner will stand up" said the
stern old Justice. Then the prisoner
arose. '"Now," said the Justice, "I am
very sorry you have been brought into
this Court on a charge which so serious
ly affects your good name and standing
in society; you have set bad example,
and if you go OH at this rate you will
bring sorrow and disgrace on yourself
and family. sentence you to pay \
fine of so and costs, or to thirty days
in the county Jail"
The ''prisoner'' said he would prefer
to pay the fine-and then the Court
closed, he walked over to the poormss-
ter of the town and paid the ten dol
lars.

Family PETS

We are informed that a rhinoeeros can be
purchased for ten thousand dollars, and that
pair OF Bengal tigers will cost about seven
thousand dollars. This is an interesting item
of news for families in want of pets. If we
may be permitted to offer advice to purchasers,
we would recommend them to buy the rhi-
noceros. The price is higher, we know. 1t
seems more expensive; and a rhinoceros play
ing about on the parlOr floor with the children,
and running up and down stairs, and frislking
about and barking, would be, in a certain
sense, inconvenient, if the house was small.
The larger portion of the family, we should
presume. would find themselves less crowded
if they should stand out in the yard and watch
the fun through the window. But it is prob
able that the actual amount of discomfort
would be larger, as the ultimate expense
would be, if you bought the tigers. The on
ly man that we ever knew who had a tiger
in his house associated with that tiger
for only eight hours, and spent that time
roosting upon the chandelier until the animal
could be shot. He always regarded that time
as wasted. Hired girls have decided aver
sion to living in families who encourage til
gers; and, if you drive your servants off with
the accustomed spoons and table-linen, and
count in the cost of burying what remains of
the baby after the tiger has lunched off of it,
and the market value of the chop that will
probably be bitten from your own leg, you
will see that the rhinoceros is the cheaper.

What they Expect from Mr.. Greeley

The Washington Chronicle says:
Saturday several Greeley delegates, evident
ly from the South, on their return from the
Baltimore Convention, visited the Capitol,
and, sightseeing generally, were congregated
on one of the porticos; and one who appear
ed well conversant with Washington and its
surroundings was intently engaged in point
ing out and explaining to the rest the places
of interest or note. Among them was Ar
lington Heights. He went on at great length
to describe its beauty, &c. how the "Goy-
ernment had taken it from the widow and
orphans of the immortal Lee, and turned it
into Federal graveyard, where all the dead
from the battle-felds adjacent to this city had
been gathered'-when|one of the party inter-
rupted by saying, 81 wonder if that will ever
be restored to Mrs. Lee?" ''No," answers
another, ''she would not have it with them
id Yankees, but she should be paid for it. J"
'Not while Grant and his carpet-bag Gov
ernment holds sway" chimes in another.
"Gentlemen,' says the first speaker, 'we
must be up and doing Every means within
our power must be used to elect Greeley.-
He will help us then, and not till
then can we expect to our rights. He will be
bound to give us what we want" "But, /"
saws another, 81 have not much faith in Gree
lev, he was such an Abolitionist," ''That's
nothing" says third, she agreed to accept
must accept our views. If he doesn't we'll
make the White House too hot to hold him.
Besides, he will be stepping-stone to us, and
give us foot-hold, so that the next time we
will send man up here that will make these
Yankees get." Again the first speaker con-
tinued his conversation relative to the Airing
ton estate and the claims of Southern people
for the loss of property by the war: 'FWben
Greeley takes up his quarters yonder (point-
ing to the White House) he will be bound to
| give us our rights. Mrs. Lee will then be
| paid for every foot of that ground, and our
people will get back what they lost by the
Federal army" Their conversation contin-
ued in this strain for some time, first abusing
General Grant and the Yankees, then by
laudng Greeley as the man that would give
\ the South her rights and save the country
from the hateful "carpet baggers."
This is not only the sentiment of few OF
the Southern Democracy, who were overheard

THE STOKES CAsE.-Meyer Hamburger,
foreman of the jury in the Stokes murder
case, has made the following statement for
publication:
We desile to be set right before the public,
and although we have been unable to agree
upon verdict such as the facts warrant and
the public expect, we certainly feel that those
of us who were united in an intelligent opn-
ion should not have to suffer with the rest.
From the very first, after hearing all the evil
dence, the comments and the charge, felt
that there could be but one honest judgment,
and that was a verdict of murder in the first
degree. l found six gentlemen of the jury
agreed with me, and in the most courteous
way, after listening to the others, did my
best to convince them. But no; there was a
peculiar element in the jury room, and think
the public should know it. Some of the ju-
rors would hear no argument. They had
made up their minds, and would neither con-
vince me nor be convinced.

MUMMIEs FOR MUsEUMs.-Mummy-ma
ing is staple Partisan industry, the products
of it being exported into all countries, and ev-
en- into Egypt ITSELF One man alone is said
to have manufactured no fewer than six hun
dred for provincial museums. They are
sometimes sent to Alexandria, and then, like
the false Pompeian relics manufactured at
Birmingham for the benefit of Italian tourists,
returned to Europe with a sort of guarantee
of genuineness. Very little stock in hand is
required to set up this business; some linen
bands and plenty of dogs'-skin being the prin-
cipal srticles necessary to make these relics of
the Policeman era. The mummies are ticket
ed "Cheops," pharaoh" etc. "Cleopatras," f"
are especially expensive, on account of the
bandages, which have to be made Of lawn.
