A Kentucky DOuble-H Header.

Sylvester Bowman, of Claiborne
county, KY, undertook to bruise the
head of six-foot serpent lately, but the
pesky serpent came near turning the
tables on Bowman Another man helped
him out of the scrape, and the snake
was found to have horn at the end of
its tail little over an inch and a quar-
ter long, shaped like a ROSTERS spur
But what was still more astonishing, it
had two eyes in its tail, which, except
ing the horn, was shaped exactly like
the head, but was not so large Indeed,
to have seen the tail one would have
thought that it was the head, and that
the horn was its tongue. The horn was
very sharp. The snake seemed very
fierce at its tail-end, and endeavored to
strike everything that came near its tail.
Various experiments were made to as
certain whether it could see with the
eyes in its tail, and it was demonstrated
beyond a doubt that it could. These
eyes had lids, which opened and shut
and cleaned with anger. Indeed, the
tail-head seemed far more fierce than
the other head 1t was so fierce at both
ends that it was necessary to shoot it.
This statement was vouched for by the
minister of the place, the selectmen,
schoolmaster, and editor

In the city of Cochin, Hindostan,
says the Jet0ish Times, live some 1000
colored Israelites, whose skin is not so
dark as that of the genuine Ethiopian.
They are Jews In every sense. worship
the God of their fathers, the only true
Jehovah, and are intellectually the su-
periors of the white inhabitants of the
place. According to their own account
their origin is as follows: The con-
quest of portion of the East Indies by
the Europeans opened to commerce a
wide field and attracted multitude of
spectators from all parts of the world.
Among these were many young Israel
ties from Bagdad, Bassorah end Yemen,
who came to make their fortune In the
new Eldo1ado. After they had settled
down they purchased from the negroes
black female slaves, many of whom
were afterward converted and then mar
ried by their masters. It was from
these marriages that the present race
descends. Ancient Hebrew manuscripts
and law tables, written on parchment,
have been found among the Cochin
Jews.

Another Sep.

The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany has with characteristic energy
taken another important step in the
prosecution of its great undertaking.
The camp-fres of the Stanley Expedi-
ton will hardly die out III Dakota be-
fore those of the construction corps will
be burning. The Company, on the 18th
inst, advertlses for contracts to grade
and bridge the line between the Mis-
souri, river and the Yellowstone, a dis
lance of 205 miles, through the coun-
try which the expedition has just now
passed; or rather the located line is
some 30 miles north of the route pur-
sued by Stanley, avoiding the bad lands
through which he passed, and travers-
ing rolling prairie region, we'll water
ed and covered with the rich buffalo
grass, which affords the finest pastur-
age. The success attained by the En-
gineers of the Company in finding SO
good line through what has been re-
garded as one of the most difficult Sec
tions of the whole route, must afford
satisfaction to all interested in this
great National thoroughfare.- Com.

SianeSe Cats.

The Pittsburgh Post says: Mount
Washington can show something in the
cat line that we venture to assert can be
found nowhere else. A few days since
a cat belonging to George Cramer, a
butcher, gave birth to five kittens, all
formed together in various parts of the
body. This Siamese quintuplex condi-
ton of affairs, however, did not appear
to suit the feelings and comfort of the
mass, and persistent struggle ensued
between the kittens to effect separa-
ton, which has finally been made. As
a consequence of the dissolution of the
union, some of the kittens have six legs
while others have but two. Those who
have seen two cats with their tails tied
together, and thrown over a line, can
imagine how desperately those infant
kittens struggled for liberty. Those that
survive (most of them are dead exhibit
all the characteristics of the feline race
In general, but their condition does not
contribute additional weight to the
aphorism that union is strength, as it
will require very careful nursing to
bring them safely out of their kitten
hood. The mother seems to regard the
curious freak with complacency, is
proud of her offspring, and, for aught
We know, credits herself with originality
in the production of something quite
ont of the usual line in this business.
Had the kittens been secured in time,
and preserved, they might have made q
trip round the world as curiosities in
some travelling museum Maj. Burn
nell ought to have them"

Practical Advice for Fishermen.

First-Find out if there are any fish
In the river to which you are going if
so, get some one who knows the water
to show you where the fish lie; and
when he shows them to you, don't you
show yourself to them.
Second-Don't imagine, if the fish
does not dart away, that he has not seen
you; on the contrary, he is very likely
devoting his whole attention to you, and
preparing to start the moment danger is
imminent.
Third-If you are fishing with fly,
and you pass it neatly three times over
him, and he refuses it, you need not
wait any longer; he has seen your line
of invitation, and does not intend to
come.
Fourth-If you are above a fish when
you hook him, get below him as soon as
you can; for if you pull him one instant
against the stream, and he is a heavy
fish, he will break his hold.
Fifth-Never throw a long line when
a short one will answer.
Sixth-Never mind what is said about
"playing your fish till he is tired :"
put him in your basket as soon as you
can.
Seventh Remember that everything
depends upon the way you begin your
acquaintance. If you can prevail on a
fish to go down the stream little way
with you, you will afterward have no
difficulty in persuading him to let you
have the pleasure of seeing him to din
ner
To these excellent maxims beg leave
to add one of Mr.. Stoddart's, especially
intended for bachelors, young and old /:
"Never fall in I've with a woman by
the water side; there are situations in
which every woman looks an angel =
