In speaking Of the formation of the Reform
Club in Gardiner, the Journal says that there
is one thing that strikes it tlvorably-the zeal
with which the clergy enter into the spirit Of
this reform. 1t is true some will think these
men need preaching TO quite as much before
they reformed as now, but then it is better to
see our ministers at work for temperance now,
than not to have had them at all, Let all work
together cordially to aid and sustain this bless
cd work and to encourage those who have
forsaken their cups.

Deadly Encounter Between q Snake
and q Catfish.

The Savannah Republican tells the
following as vouched for by gentle
man of that city, who recently had oc-
casion TO visit the marsh on the other
side of the river. While over there
standing in the marsh, near a pool of
water, he noticed that something was
going on in it that one is not accustomed
to seeing every day, and, on investiga-
ting, found that very large moccasin
and a good sized catfish were having
terrible fight. The occurrence was
highly interesting, and he got as near
as possible to see whatwould be the end
Of it. The combatants wore fearfully
in earnest, and terribly energetic in
their efforts to annihilate each other.
The catfish would make daring 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 catfishs fins.
The moccasin would throw himself into
striking position, and strike very fast, in
order to be equal to the frantic suIges Of
the catfish. At last, the catfish, in
making pass at the snake, struck 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
antagonists clung to each other until
they were dead-the poison in both
seeming equal. The fight lasted about
twenty minutes, including the last clinch
of the contestants.

From Wealth TO Poverty.
From the Chicago Tribune. June Is


From 1858 to 1867 the name of Bennett
Pieters was very well known in this
city. 1t was connected with the Red
Jacket Bitters, which were then pop
ular beverage. His income was large
one, but he spent it easily, hence when
calamity came upon him he had moth
ing to fall back upon. In 1867 some
individual, thinking that he also might
make little by going into the bitter
business, began the manufacture of the
Red Cloud Bitters. Pieters resented
this, as an infringement of his rights,
and brought suit to have his rival en-
joined. The matter was tried in the
United States Court. An expert chem
ist analyzed Peters productions, and
found they consisted of poor whisky,
favored with tansy, dogfennel, jimson
weed, or some other substance, which
possessed no special medicinal virtues.
Ultimately the Court decided that his
rights had not been invaded, and that
Red Cloud and Red Jacket might have
separately and independently originated
bitters. This hurt Peters, but not half
as much as the analysis. People had
supposed that his bitters owed their
virtues to ingredients unknown to the
white man, gathered at midnight in the
primeval forests, by grim Indian
chiefs; or dusky Indian girls, dark, but
comely, like the tents of Kedar, or the
curtains of King Solomon, the secret
having been specially communicated to
Pieters under circumstances of 30 pri.
vate nature that they never became
public. When the illusion was dis
pelled, the sale of the Red Jacket stop
ped, and Peters income diminished.
The les, money he had the more he
drank. He gotinvolved in trouble with
his partner, and finally, in 1869, went
to Washington Territory, in the hope
of bettering his fortunes. lie returned
from there few months ago, and, after
lettering around the city doing nothing,
last Monday he enlisted as cavalry re.
cruit in the regular army, and embraced
this last desperate resort Of reduced
gentleman. p

that night to accompany him, unknown
to the friends with whom she was stop
ping, to a public hall. Once there, the
innocent girl had been persuaded to
drink wine, until bewildered by its
fumes, and relying upon the honor of
the man she loved, she had yielded to
his persuasions and consented to finish
the night with him by ride to the
chi, and return in the morning with
some plausible excuse for her absence.
What his intentions were may be in
ferred. 1t was in pursuance of this
scheme that they entered Billy's cab; (;
but the losing of the earring was the
cause Of the catastrophe which followed.
She, conscious of doing what her friends
would not approve, bitterly reproached
him and herself. ,.rs -.fs, ..., .-..r
The earring was peculiar one, which
had been made to order for her by her
father, and was we'll known in the circle
of friends in which she moved. Its
absence would be instantly remarked,
and her excited imagination pictured it
as being found, and presented as o proof
OF her nights folly. She pleaded with
him to find it, and finally declared that
the driver must have picked it up. So
completely had this idea taken posses
sion OF her, and SO determined was she
that the jewel must be recovered, that
he had been compelled to take her to
the hotel and leave her while he
prosecuted the search. The idea that
the driver had it gained complete
possession Of him, and he resolved
to dismiss the cab and follow the dri-
yer home, trusting TO chance to en-
able him to watch him when alone,
thinking that he would surely take the
trinket from its hiding place if he had
it, from curiosity if nothing more. He
accordingly paid him, and it being about
time to get home, Billy had gone straight
up the hill instead of stopping, as usual,
at his stand. Beale had followed him.
and finding that the board shanty fur
nished ample facilities, had climbed up
to where he could have an uninter.
rupted view of the room.
Here he claimed to have seen Billy
take the earring from his pocket,
whereupon the watcher broke the win
dow and engaged with him in the hand
to-hand struggle which cost one of the
men his life. When he had told this
much of his life he turned upon me
again with that wild look and cried !:

An ancient maiden lady, in her forty.
seventh year, WAS found by her mother
strongly affected with grief, which mani-
tested itself in loud crying and flowing
tears. The kind mother asked her the
cause of her crying. As soon as the
daughter could compose herself sutfi.
ciently to enable her to speak 90 that she
could be understood, she said:

Garrlck and the Coachman.

When Garrick was last at Paris, Pre-.
vile, the celebrated French actor, in
vited him to his villa. Our Roscius,
being in gay humor, proposed to 60
in one of the hired coaches that regu.
larly ply between Paris and Versailles,
on which road Preville's villa was situa,
ted. When they got in, Garrick ordered
the coachman to drive up; but the fel.
low answered that he would do SO as
soon as he had got his complement of
four passengers.
A caprice Immediately seized Gar
rick; he determined 70 give his brother
player a specimen Of his art While
the coachman was attentively looking
out for passengers, Garrick slipped out
at the door, went round the coach, and,
by his wonderful command of counte-
nance,-a power which he 30 happily
displayed in Abel Drugger,-paimed
himself upon the coachman as a stran-
ger. This he did twice, and was admit
ted each time into the coach as a fresh
passenger, to the sstonishment and adj
miration Of Preville. Garrick stepped out
a third time, and, addressing himself TO
the coachman, was answered in a surly
tone, "that he had already got his COM
plement," and was about to drive of
without him, when Preville cried out,
" Let the stranger in; he is a small
man, and we can accommodate him
without discommoding ourselves"
The plea prevailed, and Garrick was
permitted TO enter the coach.
