A RATTLEsNAKE BITE AND RIDE FOR LIFE

A RATTLEsNAKE BITE AND A RIDE FOR LIFE.
The Burlington (kansas) Patriot says:
Last week Mr.. s. II. Champin, Of Pot
tawatomic township, living OH Long creek,
WAS bitten by q rattlesmake on the right hand.
He was handling corn at the time, and as he
reached down to the corn pile the snake,
which was coiled up unperceiyed in the
corn, struck him, his flngs entering the fin
Ger next to the little one, between the
knuckle and the middle joint.
As soon ms Mr.. Cllamplin found he was
bitten he mounted horse and started for
town, rs no whiskcy or other remedy was
close ut hand. His hand and arm began to
swell rapidly. and the pain was intense.
After riding mile he stoppcdat a neighbors
and procured I glass OF alcohol, which he re-
duced with water and drank. This proba-
bly, saved Mr.. C.'s life, as he informs us that
the torture from the bite had become so
severe that he could with difficulty sit i'll
the saddle. He at once pulled for town
rs fast as possible, and at Wolf
creek he found its bank full, but did not
hesitate to ride in. The swift current swept
him from his horse, but he clung to his
name with the hand which was not disabled,
and his horse carried him across. On his
arrival in this city DIR. Douglas administered
powerful stinulants, using spirits freely and
drenclling the arm with iodine. The arm
was swollen very full, but the Doctor soon
had him out of danger. Mr.. Champlin was
bitten ut , o'clock in the afternoon, and AZ
rived in Burlington about g., so he had rtu
den nearly twelve miles in an hour. The
snake was killed, and measured two feet and
half in length, having eight ratt!es.

NEURALGIA.-Pcoplea are continually COM
planning OF neuralgia pains. Whenever there
is an ache Or IN anomalous KIND OF elratlc
pain, which seems, to be peculiar and too
stubborn to yield to common remedies which
every old woman suggests, whether appro-
pirate or not, that is called neuralgia. A
Frenchman's definition was quite as good as
if it came from the most learned physician in
language that no one could understand or
pronounce correctly If he could. "Der nll-
rrlia like Won needle in lie leg. Wee mon
sieur, ven dcy stick une little jimblct in de
flesh so dat it Won't GO III no more, den skreW
him one time more, and dat's nuralja"
The difference between neuralgia and
Rheumatism is simply this-viz., Rheumatism
is an inflammation Of the fibre Of a muscle !;
neuralgia is supposed to be an inflammation
of the tissue or case which surrounds a
nerve. If inflamed in the slightest degree
it consequently congresses the pulp or sub.
stance OF the nerve. Therefore the cause is
purely mechanical, and sometimes continues
Il very long time. Rheumatism yields to
remedies much more readily. When neu-
lalgia assumes that dreadful form called tic
dotoreur, ordinarily confined to the nerves
of the face, it seems to come by sudden pa
roXysms almost beyond the power OF human
endurance. That is probably due to mental
eXcitation, stimulantS, improper, indigcsti-
Die food, which quickens the action of the
heart, and i quicker pulsation forces blood
into the intlamed nerve case, and that en-

A SKEPT1c COMMUNICATIONS was a
man in Mauch Chunk, Pa, few days ago
with patent air brake for railroad cars
for sale. He claimed that it would stop a
train going at the highest rate of speed in
half its own length. There was certain
railroad man up there who treated this
suggestion with scorn, and said he would
wager large sums that the air brake
wouldn't stop a train any quicker than any
other brake. So he borrowed the contriv-
ance and fixed it on an open car on the
Switchback Railroad, and went to the top
of Mount Pisgah to get a fair start. He
let her come down the inclined plane for q
while until she began to move along at the
rate of sixty miles an hour, and then he
suddenly placed his foot on the brake and
put it on with full power. One minute
later the eye of any solitary traveller pass
ing through those wilds might have OBJ
served car standing perfectly still on the
track and a railroad man going down hill
among the blackberry bushes and under
brush headforemost at the rate-say Of
forty-six miles an hour. He was carried
home On stretcher, and now that railroad
man not only has perfect faith in the avail
ability of the air-brake, but he is convinced
that 1t would be good thing if some man
would invent a machine for taking the fiat
ness and general decentralization, as it were
out of mutilated noses.-Erchange.

old Straddle, "and he is q game fellow See,"
he added, "holding out his sabre towards the
feet of the legs of old Stradile's horse Look
out there, or he'll bite you" cried General
Bradley. I" Not bit of it," replied Straddle !;
Z" the fact is, General, 1 have been studying
this specimen of the natural productions Of
the country for more than an hour, and have
found out first, that he will not bite unless
length of himself when coiled." He then made
the snake coil up again and strike two or
three times. "He amt much of a traveller,
either" said old Straddle, whipping the rep
fast as it could. "He coils tail first" con-
tinued the experimenter, making him COIL
:" and, like an honest fellow, gives fair warn
ing before he strikes, which is more than some
of our own kind do, General besides don't
believe he'd strike in the dark at all. You
will readily OBSERVE" continued old Straddle,
growing facetions, "the difference between
the natures of the snake and the dog-a dog

like to look that fellow steadily in the face for
the space of five seconds" The snake was
coiled, his body resting. on his TAIL and his
neck proudly curved: His eyes shone like two
little diamonds, and his yellow skin glistened
in the sun. The spots on his back seemed
ever changing from dark brown to a bright
red copper color. Come" said old Straddle,
I'll bet there's not man in the crowd can
shoot him in the head" 1t is said to
be almost impossible to shoot the head of
rattlesnake. The hunters declare that their
sensitiveness is SO great that they can feel the
wind of coming bullet, and dodge it. Be
this Us it may, have seen men who could hit
q bulls eye drive o nail at one hundred
yards that could not shoot q snake in the head.
Several revolvers were levelled and discharged
at him, but the snake remained uuharmed.
soldier then dismounted, and, taking a carbine,
at the fourth shot nearly severed the body of
the reptile. g Foulw cried out Straddle
" you hit him in the body but take off the
rattles, the game is yours" The man did as
he was bid. and there were eleven rattles and
a button.-Letter from the Plains to the Philadel-

A BErriNa Book IN THE PuLpIr.-In .

ard fresh clerk, the latter Of whom acts
ter in addition to his religious pleasure,
has some enjoyment of awordly kind, aad
for his especial qualification he keeps dog
that he names Jerry" This animal, who
enjoys some local celebrity, is now and
again entered in races, bets are laid for
and against it: occasionally it wins . heat,
and with . sufficient number of yard start
might come in first in q general race. The
church, in addition to the curate and the
clerk, possesses q choir, and lately they
determined to sing an anthem. When q
great occasion of this sort happens the
clerk receives from the leader of tho choir
q paper whereon is inscribed the place
whence the words of the anthem are taken,
and sundry other particulars-kDown to
those who "raise their voices Highland it
is the duty af the clerk to convey this pa
per to the minister 80 that he can make this
announcement. The other Sunday the
choir prepared to sing an anthem, the clerk,
from the leader Of the choir, stuck it in his
waistcoat pocket, and at the proper period
took it to the curate in the pulpit. The
curate stood up, and reading mechanically
from the paper, said loudly larry . when
feeling annoyed at the leader Of the choir
ded, "the words of the anthem are from
the book of jeremiah" With another
glance at the paper he proceeded hurriedly
in the manner of one wanting to get
through some formal business, SO to l
taken-(ahem)-from the 1st to the Sd
verses are taken-ffth heat, Is yards start
(ahem)" Fortunately for the reverend gen.
tleman, at that moment the choir started
with a grand burst, and he sank to his seat
utterly appalled, by thea discovery that his
unlucky clerk had handed to him a wrong
paper, and instead of the words of the an
them he had been announcing to a remark
ably attentive congregation several of the
particulars connected with forthcoming
race, in which one of the competitors was
the clerks dog rry."-Leeds Times.

BUSINESS.

The Wichita EAGLE says: Our
county commissioners state that the
county will be unable to build build
ings, owing to the enormous expense
of the county to keep criminals, $3.50
per capita each day, aside from cost of
capture, fees. mileage, etc We are
sorry that Scdgwick county cannot af-
ford county buildings in this, the
fourth year of its existence. Reno
county is less than year old and a
$4,000 court house and Jail will be
built and paid for within ninety days.
But then Reno permits no liquor sa-
looms or Texas cattle trade. and cOnsc-
gucntly has no criminals.-Uufchinsoa
Ne,cs.
Yes, and within the lapse Of ten or
a dozen years you will find your court
house but a sorry excuse as a public
building, very like an object of dcris-
ion and fanlt-finding upon the part of
your own citizens, should your town
continue to grow and improve. 1t is
short-sighted policy for county to
attempt building until something per-
IGanent and fine can be erected. When
all our hOmcstcads are proved up-paid
for-when our farmers and merchants
shall become rich and prosperous as
classes, and when Sedgwick county can
see her way entirely clear financially,
with but light per centum of tax,
then, and not till then, do we want to
see an attempt at public building. a
$4,000 court house will be smaller
matter then than the building of
s., 600 one now.

THE CORN CROP.

This is the first year the Arkansas
valley has been cultivated-that is
above the Little Arkansas. Conse-
quently, the only crop now growing,
outside of few vegetables, is corn.
1t is known as ''sod crop" The raw
prairie is broken up and corn planted
The writer hereof has visited Michi-
gan and passed through others of the
great corn-growing states within the
last three weeks, yet he saw no such
magnificent corn anywhere as this same
sod crop right here in the Arkansas
valley. We passed up the famous Kaw
valley few days since, and we saw no
such corn there as we have i'm the Ar
kansas valley. Shoulder high and still
growing. 1t is not at all wonderful
that our settlers and citizens should
have unlimited faith in this section. If
our corn on the raw soil with no cult
tivatiOn is superior to the crop in those
highly cultivated regions what may we
expect when our lands are well-tilled
We shall astOnish the world. Next
season we shall shed light upon the
wheat northumberland Necs.
Hutchinson is fifty miles up the val
ley, northwest of Wichita. In our
own travels of the past few weeks we
have noticed the same state of facts set
forth above relative to the crops of
other portions of the state as cOmpar-
ed to those of this valley.

BALTIMORE GREELEYITES.

The Baltimore correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat tclcgraphs that pa
per as follows:
'.Thc same men who dug up the
street bouldcrs to throw at United
States troops in 1861 are already organ
lied into Greeley clubs, and have ar
ranged for several big demonstrations
i'm favor of the nominee, with Yergcr,
the assassin of Col. Crane, at their head.
Ycrger is the local lion of the place
thus far. He is the most conspicuous
man at all the hotels, and the tirst1O
whom the stranger is introduced. I'm
mediately after the introduction he
proceeds to tell of what he calls his
Mississippi difficulty, and he relates his
own shame in way which wins the
applause of spectators. 1t is well for
him that Wilkes Booth is not here. If
he were Mr.. Ycrgcr would only be a
star of the second magnitude. 1t is
only in the absence of a greater atrOci-
ty that his conduct receives first-class
consideration. Some of the local poll
ticians attempt to disparage Ierger,
and to say that he is not representa-
tive democrat, and that Baltimore is
ashamed of him, but they do not lessen
his popularity. He is the big gun of
day, and he boasts that he publishes
the soundest Greeley organ in Balti-
more. which is true"
