SNAKE STORY. Savannah Repub.
tican relates the biggest snake story of
the season. It says that q few days since
gentleman OF that city having some
business to attend to across the river.
went over for that purpose. While over
there. standing in the marsh. near pool
OF water, he noticed that something was
going on in it that one is not accustomed
to seeing every day. and ON Investigating
the splatter that was being made in ths
water, found that very large moccasin
and good-sized catfish were having n
terrible fight. The occurrence was
highly interesting to him, and he got as
near rs possible to see what would be the
end Of it. The combatants were fearful
y IN earnest, and terribly energetic in
their efforts to annihilate each other.
Ihe catfish would make darting passes
at the snake. always using his fins to
stick his antagonist with, and the snake
on the other hand, would have to be
equally energetic in keeping clear of the
sharp points Of the cattish's fins. Tie
moccasn would throw himself into
striking position, and strike very fast, in
order to be equal with the frantic snrges
OF the catfisE. At lust, the catfish, III
makinga pass at the snake, stuck his
sharp fin somewhere in tender part of
the snakes belly, and the moccasin in
turn clinched the catfish in the back part
OF the neck. In this position both nm
tagonists clung TO each other until they
wore dead-the poison in both seeming
to be equal. The fight lasted about
twenty minutes, including tho lust cl,nrh
OF the contestants.

A YEARS VITAL STATISTICS IN LONDON.
London, with population of $500, 600,
still grows rapidly. The number of
6lrths last year was 112,535, against
SU.332 deaths. The estimated increase
OF population between the middle of
1871 and of 1872 is 1919; so that the
natural increase was supplemented by
about l6, 600, representing the excess Of
Immigration over emigration. The
birth rate in London in 1871 was equal
to 34.6 per 1000 persons, being o. 5
below the rate for all England. The
birth-rate, says the Times. varies re
markably in different sections of the
population, depending much upon ages,
proportion of the sexes. copjugal condi-
tlons and social position. The death
rate In London in 1871 was PAT per
l,OOO, being 81 above the rate for all
exclusive of the deaths from
smallpox, the London death rate would
have been only 1913. AS it was, the
rate OF mortality was higher than in any
year since 1865. when cholera was cpl
demlc. The male death. rate of London
Ill 1871 was 26 6, while among females
1t was only % 8; at the recent census
there were 1877 females living in Lon
don to ench 100 males. In 1871 there
were 1884 deaths from violent causes in
London, 2. 1873 of them from negligence
or accident. including 800 from fractures
and COMMISSIONS, among which are 2O8
deaths caused by horses or vehicles in
the streets. Among the deaths by negli.
gence or accident are 400 from suffoca-

DAMl DEMoLr1oN-Wo WOMEN TAKING

DAMl observation-disclosures TAKING
THE Law INTO THEIR Own HANps.-
Dnring the winter and spring, much ill
feeling has arisen at Long Swamp, Suf-
folk County, On account, of certain dam
having been built by, a fartier of that
Locality. The land thsreabouts is very
HAT, aud ut best the drainage OF the dis
trict is very imperfect. Those who have
done most TO ferment the bad feeling
contend that the building of the dam has
greatly injured their property on ac-
count OF the backing up of the water,
which before found an unobstructed
outlet. 1t is also stated that the locali-
~. In consequence of tue formation of
the unnatural pond, is moro unhealthy.
But whether these were the true reasons
or not. the women of the ncighborhood
determined to take the matter into their
own hands, and one day lust week, ar
tanlyemcnts were made to do big thing.
!ust "s the gray tinge on the Eastern
hlile bespoke the dawn Of morn, ladies
might have been seen coming from
nearly every farmhouse within radius
OF TWO miles. Those near the locality Of
me obnoxious dam hurriodly proceeded
thltherwnrd, while those at distnnce
started IN wagons and all kinds of yehi-
Most OF the women, from their general
appearance, were maidens. Every ono
wore thick veil, closely covering their
ieatures, dresses either short or tucked
mp, aud stout boots with thick soles.
On arriving at the dam. shovels, hoes,
picks, crowbars and the utensils SO often
used by the stronger arms Of the men
were eagerly grasped by from 100 to $50
lrate women. aud the work of demolition
actively commeuced. AS tho water com.

work OF the fcmiuine mob,tes was rem
dered more easy, and by sunrise. 800
acres OF water had Disappeared. Whut

GKETSA GREEN.-Tho palny days of
Gretna Green exist only in tradition.
No dashing coach and four, with it's ex-
hausted postilions aud weary horses,

gny gallant and his lady love, safe at last
from the pursuit Of the angry father
And tho last of it's priests has also de.
parted. Old Simon Lang has just died
ut New-castle-on-T Tyne. and been buried
IN dretna Green Church yard. For
eighty years. Simon Lung and David
Lang, his father, officiated as priests,
and helped the needy captain to secure
tue coveted heiress, or the daring ad-
venturess to bind her chains upon her
duped prey. David. the father, married
Thomas, Lord Erskine. in his old age.
to his mistress, Miss Sarah Buck, and
netted thereby the snug little sum OF
$SOO as marriage fee. In 1927, Simon
Lang succeeded to his Office. outliyed oil
his competitors, and saw the golden
days OF old Gretna decline. He CONT
nued to claim The right to marry until
the end of his life. About twelve months
since, he went through probably tho last
marriage ceremony be ever performed, in
complete dishebille. having nothing on
but his shirt and drawers. The reason of
this unwonted exhibition was that the
parties reached Gretna from Dumfries by
the midnight train, and, like all foud
lovers, could brook no delay. SO the
priest was aroused from his slumbers to
40 duty at moments notice.

The Dead Sea being without All ont
let, evaporation is the only escape of the
water pouring into it by the river Jor-
dan and some other streams. Each
brings into that extraordinary reservoir,
which IS depi ession in the earth's crust
l.30O feet below the water level of the
Med'terraneaD. an immense mass of
materials which must at last fill it up,
when the Jordan will then run on be-.
yond and find an outlet to the sea, if the
world remains in it's present physical
form long enough. The Jordan wafts
down ninety cubic yards of water every
second. Each day, it carries in six and
n half bushels of salt, liberated from
rocks on its passage, in each ninety
cubic yards. Therefore. that dreadfulIy
salt. bitter reservoir has nearly reached
the point cf saturation. When no more
salt can bo dissolved. then it will accu-
mulate on the irregular bottom till it
reaches quite near the present surface.
Its future will have quite as much inte
rest for coming agos as its past history.
