A Snake StOry-Of Course.

Mail advices from La Grange, ILL.,,
bring particulars of the latest snake
story. Last Sunday John Range, a
farmer, was driving along the road a
mile south of La Grange, when he saw
large number of blacksnakes lying in
the sun near steep ledge of rocks.
He stopped his team and alighted, when
they ran into hole in the ledge. He
waited, and sooon they came out, when
he killed half dozen. They still con-
tlnued to make their appearance, and
he was joined by two other men, who,
by killing as they came out and throw
ing the dead bodies out If sight, dis
posed of 240 altogether. 1t was esti-
mated that the entire lot would have
weighed fully 1000 pounds. 1t is sup
posed to be the breaking up of den
from which numerous stragglers have
been killed during the past two or three
years. The story is sufficiently anthem
ticated by eye-witnesses and reliable
men

MacOrOni a I'Italienne.

Olive Harper writes: "When you
once eat macoroni as it is prepared in
Italy you find it like the Turkish coffee
something the soul delights in. Why
don't we have macoroni cooked in the
same wayg We have an insensible way
of tumbling handful into basin Of
soup, which comes out pasty stiff, good
for nothing. I took pains to get an au-
thentic recipe for cooking macoroni,
and for all WAC wish most delicious,
easy, and cheap dish, I write it: Take
three pints of beef soup, clear, and put
one pound of macoroni in it and boil
Is minutes, with little salt; then take
up the macoroni-which should have
absorbed nearly all the liquid land put
it on fiat plate and sprinkle grated
cheese over it thickly, and pour over
all plentifully sauce made of tomatoes,
well boiled, strained, and seasoned with
salt AND pepper. Some people prefer
to only put the cheese on it, but
l prefer it with the tomato as well.
If anybody don't like that when it is
done, il is because he DON'T know what
is good"

The Rush for Florida Begun.

Eighty passengers on the last trip of
the Montgomery from New York to
Fernandina, and over hundred stran-
gers on single train into Jacksonville
in one morning, at this season Of the
year, denotes what the emigration and
crowd will be when the winter fairly
sets in. The most of those who are
coming thus early stop but short time
in the city, and leave on the river steam
ers for some of the colon1esnow settling
up along the st. Johns River. They
report themselves as only the advance
guard of those who are coming, and it
is significant that many of the late arri-
walls are but sent forward as the repre-
sentatives of colonies who are DESTROYS
of finding the best localities in the
state by the means of personal observa-
ton. Everything points to the fact
that Florida has been better advertised,
and it's resources made more widely
known this year than ever before

In Search of a Religion.

A story told by Capt. Malet, of the
British army, in a speech recently de-
ivered by him at Stoke is worth pre-
serving. He said: GA recruit on be-
ing asked by his commanding officer
what religion he professed, in order
that he might go to his proper place of
worship, said: Please, sir, I have
not made up my mind ! He probably
thought he would get off the church
parade, but the officer was equal to the
occasion. Turning to the sergeant of
his company, he said: Sergeant, here
is man who has not made up his mind
as to what religion he is. We will give
him every opportunity. Let him be
marched to the Romanists service at
7:45, to the Church of England parade
at 9:15, and to the Presbyterian service
at II until further orders. The man
soon made up his mind that he was a
devout churchman, probably, (said
Capt. Malet) because the service was
the shortest; and if, indeed, conviction
may be dispensed with in the matter,
it would be difficult to find a better
ground for final decision

How to Get Along.

Pay as you go.
Never fool in business matters.
DO not kick every one in your path.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
Have order, system, regularity and
also promptness.
Do not NEEDLE with business you
know nothing of.
Use your OWE brains rather than
those of others.
A man OF honor respects his word as
he does his bond.
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
If you have a place of business, be
found there when wanted.
More miles can be made in one day
by going steadily than by stopping.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you can not afford because it
is fashionable.
Learn to say No. No necessity of
swapping it out dog fashion, but say it
firmly and respectfully.

ull-Backs Versus PantalOons.


The following letter to Detroit edi-
tor is about as keen retort to the gibes
against the pull-backs as has yet been
made:
DETROIT, October 18, 1875.-MR. Ed
rroR-Dear SIR: You newspaper men
have had good deal to say lately about
the "pull-back dress worn by ladies
of fashion, and think it comes with
very bad grace from you, too, for new
er saw pair Of pantaloons in my life
that didn't have pull back to them
in the shape of straps and buckle be-
hind, and some OF you, if I do say it,
pull your pants back altogether too
much for comfort and decency in order
to make us women believe you have
slender waists, and perfect anatomical
proportions. Better cut off your own
"pul-backs before you say anything
more about ours. Yours, LAURA.

Rare Old Coins.

The Seller Sold.

A neat game is now played upon pas
sengers on the Illinois Central Railroad.
The candy man goes around, and, hav-
ing selected a victim, proposes to sell
him box of figs. IL he does not wish
to purchase, the candy man gets conf
DENTAL, places ten dollars in fig box,
and, picking up two other boxes, in.
quires how much he will give for his
choice out of the three boxes. About
this time the victim sees the corner
of five dollar bill protruding
from one OF the boxes, which the
candy man has, of course, overlooked.
A bargain is soon struck for two, three
Or five dollars; and the victim finds
nothing in che box except the figs and the
corner OF the bill. This game was tried
last Tuesday morning on Conductor
Locke's, train upon newspaper report
er, who permitted himself to be taken in
in order to teach the peanut vendor q
lesson in sharp practice. After..h had
been relieved of his money, be secured
the sharper's name, and, upon his
returning to the car, the reporter
called him over, complimented him for
his sagacity and assured him that his
name should be duly chronicled in the
papers. He thereupon returned the
money with great alacrity and proposed
to add $40 more in order to be screened
from exposure. This complimentary
benefit was respectfully declined for
the public good, and the facts are now
made known for the travellers protec-
ton.

port, Pennsylvania, while driving with
friend was forced to jump from the
carriage, owing the breaking of an axle.
He was unhurt, but he had consider
able difficulty in getting the carriage
home, and on arriving there he was very

to bed, from which he soon after arose
in his sleep, and, going to the side door,

eighteen feet. He was picked up con

sprang from his bed and leaped through

Measuring the Baby.

Measuring the Baby.
We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall;
A lily grew at the threshold
And the boy was just as tall!
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold
And heart like q jeweled chalice,
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the blackbirds whistled.
High up in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees
And the wee pink fists of the baby
We're never moment still,
Snatehing at sunshine and shadow
That danced on the lattice sill.
His eyes we're wide as bluebells,
His mouth like flower unknown,
Two little bare feet, like funny white mice,
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought, with thrill of rapture,
That yet had touch Of pain,
When June rolls round with her roses
Well measure the baby again.
All me in darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through bitter tears, that fell like rain.
We measured our boy to-day;
And the little bare feet that were dimpled,
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side together.
In hush of sweet repose.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon:
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from a rose, lay still,
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded SILL
We measured the sleepless baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below:
And out Of the darkened chamber
We went, with childish moan,
To the height of the sinless angels
Our little one hss gone.

From harbor she sailed forth
Five hundred sunny hearts ON hoard
thousand bales Of worth
little kingdom on the sea.
A little heaven of hopes
And whistled merrily the winds.
And seamen at the ropes
Oh, what picture gallery
Was in those wooden wallstsf
Each man WAS painting out his dream
OF woods and waterfalls;
OF corn-felds bowling to the sea;
OF kline on sweet green-sward; $500
These were to be, across the sea,
And he Of all, the lord
No wonder twas though hard to part
From all beloved of yore,
That such shout rang from the ship,
And such shout from shorel
They went. They'r gone from mortal ken
God only knoweth where;
Full many fathom deep, perchance
Each with his dream so fair
Not one shall ever come to tell
OF how and when they died;
IT thirsting in q burning calm
Or whelmed beneath the tide.
If storm, or rock, or horrid fire
The fatal havoc made;
If some went mad. if some blasphemed,
II some embraced and prayed
It's many a day since died our hopes;
Long since they left our coast;
God pity them we do! Then
None should be mourned as lost
