AN ENORMOUS SNAKE.-In the Zoologi-
cal gallery of DIR. Cunningham, Carthage,
Mo-, may be seen the greatest native Amer
ican wonder extant-a snake 27 feet inch
es in length, and II inches in circumference,
resembling in many particulars the tiger
python of Africa coiled in tremendous folds
with head erect, mouth open, and mammoth
forked tongue protruding as if to gulp down
at one spring every thing in reach. This
snake, which DIR. Cunningham has named
the Lead Python of the Southwest, is with
out duobt the largest American reptile ever
captured. The history of its capture is
about as follows: Two miners in Hickory
county were returning home from a pros
pect in the woods in the latter part of July
accompanied by a large dog. While pas
sing thicket on the banks of a stream they
were attracted by Kissing or gushing noise,
followed Immediately by loud yell from
the dog and crash among the bushes.
On approaching the spot they beheld the
terrible monster in the act of swallowing
the dog They fed, but soon returned and
succeeded in capturing the reptile while
gorged. The weight of the snake when first
taken was about 300 pounds.-,S, Louis Re
publican.

How To DISCOVER ALTERED WRITING

How To DISCOVER ALTERED WRITINGS.
A discovery is announced by French
chemist to which recent events in this state
give a special interest here. Its value lies
in its application to the discovery of altera-,
tion in writings that are suspected Of hav-
ing been tampered with. The coloring
matter of ordinary ink consists chiefly of a
combination of tannic acid with oxide of
iron. Mr.. Colbert has discovered that how
ever skillfully any writing may have been
erased, sufficient traces of the iron oxide al
ways remain to appear in a Photographic
image, though they may be totally invisible
to the eye on the original paper. He pre-
sented as an illustration bond drawn for
l05 francs, which had been altered to 5000
francs and so negotiated. The original pa
per bore no suspicious appearance, and the
closest ocular inspection failed to detect any
trace of the figures that had been erased.
But on photograph of the same paper the
figures were plainly discernible, mingled
with and partly obscured by the later fig
ures substituted for them. The light reHec-
ted from the surface once stained by ink,
though indistinguishable by the eye, affects
the Photographic materials differently from
that reflected from the paper where the ink
has not touched it. 1t is believed that a
photograph will always settle the question
whether suspected paper has been altered
by erasure.

NIAGARA AFTER A GALE.-The Suspen-
sion Bridge IN. ~ journal gives the fol-
lowing interesting description ola gale of
wind at Niagara falls and its effects An in
cessant gale from the north and northeast
caused wonderful change in the Niagara
river, and the falls presented an appearance
such as has not been witnessed since the
year lS4S. Many of our citizens, and more
especially the visitors who happened to be
in town, rushed from point to point viewing
the wonderful sight. The huge rocks be-
low the American falls that are usually Gov
cred with water from fifteen to twenty feet
deep, were bare. and stuck out like noun
tains. William Glassbrook, the old ferry
man, said he could have walked from the en-
trance to,the "Shadow of the Rock" up to the
can falls without danger. The river be-
tween Goat island and Prospect park, where
the water usually runs more than twenty
miles all hour, was checked to such an ex-
tent as to be wadable anywhere without
the slightest assistance. But the grandest
view fall to behold was the great Horse
shoe fall. This had lost fully two-thirds
of its immense body of water, and was COM
pared by many with an ordinary milpond.
The stream Immediately above Table rock
and far beyond Streets island, a distance
of more than four hundred feet, presented
one solid bed ofrocks, but hardly a drop of
water. The place just opposite, where the
old Terrapiu tower formerly STOOD cores
ponded very much with that already de-
scrbed, and the handful of water that re
mained, comparatively speaking, was for
ced through the deep channel in the center,
which forms the Horseshoe.

! ing over his hair and shoulders. Matty OBJ.
served that he looked thoroughly unlover-
like, and concluded that he didn't intend to
propose. She also noticed n rip in his coat
and wondered who would mend 1t for
him.
Someway, the talk veered round from the
weather to woman's rights,
Matty, on this, spoke up.
She didn't at all believe in the second
hand influence which reached the ballot
box through the agency of husbands and
brothers. "When / vote" she said, 81 want
to march to the polls and put in my own vote
my ownself"
what pretty spectacle you'd make,
Matty, with that rolling pin ia your hand,
and
'I'm not at all sure that want to vote"
she interrupted. "But / would like to make
some laws, that's ALL"
"Well, you might petition the Legisla-
ture," suggested the doctor, gravely.
ooh they're not legal laws; only social
customs and usages. I'll tell you just what
| mean" She laid the rolling PIN aside, with
an emphatic bang, placed her ioury arms
akimbo, looking very earnest and determined
and quite regardless of the fact that she and
DR.. Gibson were in love with each other
snow, at party, when lady sits alone in
a stuff chair all the evening, not dancing,
simply because she hasn't any partner, and
cant ask any one. Oh, you know, DR.. Glib
son, you know"
GLOW it was at Mrs Campbell's the other
eight. If l had been Anna Radcliffe, or
Dora Collard, I'd have asked some of you
men to dance with me-"
"Then you think women should have the
privilege of asking for whatever they wish?'
he retorted, with half smile.
She answered that she thought just that.
"Well, Matty, Iquite agree with you.
not only think they should have this right
in such a case as you mention, but also in
more serious affairs. For instance, women
might, with perfect propricty, make pro-
posals ofmarrage.'
Now, such an idea had never entered
Matty's foolish little head, and she seized
the sugar box with great embarrassment
The doctor went on, with much gravity:
81 am aware that it would be a very un-
conventional proceeding, and am afraid no
woman will ever be wise enough to take the
Initiative; and yet l am persuaded that in
many instances it would be the most natural
and beautiful thing she could do
lie was looking unconsciously up at the
blue sky shining through the lilagree work
of vine leaves about him. 1t was evident
that he was thinking of it in the abstract
only, but faltering little CDR. Gibson" re-
called him to the concrete. And there stood
Matty smiling, blushing, dimpling, ready to
extnguish herself in her brown gingham
apron.
CDR. Gibson, like you ever so much !"
she faltered, bravely, but breathlessly.
The doctor jumped through an open win
dow, and made his proposal over again.

A MOWERS EXAMPLE.-The first book
read, and the last book laid aside, by every
child, is the conduct of its mother. In deal
ing with children, therefore, let your whole
course be to raise your child to a high stand
ard. DO not sink into childishness YOUR
self Give no needless commands, but when
you command, require prompt obedience.
Never indulge n child In cruelty, even to
an insect. Cultivate a sympathy with your
child in all lawful joys and sorrows. BE
sure that you never correct child until
you know it deserves correction. Hear its
story first and fully. Never allow your
child to whine, fret, or to bear grudges.
Early inculcate fankness, candor, generos.
ity, magnaninity, patriotism, and selfdenial
Never mortify the feelings of your child by
upbraiding it with dullness, neither inspire
it with selfconceit.
Before you undertake the office of cor
rector, be quietly satisfied the evil you
would remove is of nature to need abso-
lutte abandonment on the part of the child,
and Is one to which you do not give way
yourself. The force of example is para
mount, therefore do to your children as you
would be done by, tor much of their future
! good or evil depends on your example.

One Of the most important things in bring
ing up children to be good men and women
i, to have them live in a pleasant and gen.
ial home atmosphere. Boys, and girls too,
are 40 constituted that they must have fun,
| and lively fun. They cannot always be kept
under and their jolly, healthy spirits re-
pressed And it is the invariable rule that
if they don't get what TO them is an actual
necessity supplied at home and in abundance
they will go elsewhere for it,and very likely,
in thus being allowed to choose for them
selves, get into vicious habits, which grow
ing stronger year by year are not by any
means easily TO be shaken off when maturer
Judgment of the men recognizes the follies
of habits formed in youth.
If every one does their part 1t is easy to
have pleasant, merry home. One cannot
do it alone, but by using little considera-
tion and cultivating a CHEEKY temper nothing
is easier or simpler. And the father also
must remember that his duty to his children
is something more than the mere providing
them with bread he must take an interest
in what they are doing, encourage and help
them, play with them, in fact keep so well
acquainted with them that at any time when
they are inclined to go wrong they may come
to him knowing that they may trust in his
mature Judgment to help them over the
rough spots. The fathers special province
is to look after the boys. he understands
them better than the mother does, and rice
versa.
Judging from what we have observed, we
should say that it was comparatively seldom
that case occurred where the mother does
not do her duty. 1t is the head of the house
on whom the most Of the blame should fall.
He is engrossed in business cares, worried
by the problem constantly before him of how
to support his large family and make pro-
vision for his old age beside, and forgets that
his boys have other wants far more impor-
tant than their mere physical needs.
Instead of going outside, or each drawing
into himself, the whole family should get
their society from each other, cordially enjoy
each others company, and find their best
amusement there. Many little things will
conduce to this end. One is to have plenty
of games around the house, and let the par.
ents join in them with the children. An
other and far more important is, we think,
the cultivation of musical taste in your chill
dren. Let them have as much music as pos
sible. Invite people who can play and sing
bright music, and let the children hear it.
There is nothing to prevent children with
ordinary taste and ear from taking up music
as naturally as reading and writing. The
notes and the alphabet could be learned
with equal ease at the same time. In fact,
music in any form is one of the greatest ad-
dtions to the social pleasures of home.

HE THOUGHT HE COULD SETTLE THAT
CASE HIMsELF.-Yes esterday forenoon an
honest looking man called into the office of
justice of the peace and wanted to know if
he could commence suit against neighbor
for assault and battery. He wasinformed
that he could, and he frightened and con-
tinued:
swell, make out lawsuit right away.
He kicked me mighty hard and 1 want you
to plug the law right to him"
As the justice reached for warrant his
visitor asked:

81 can't tell anything about the case until
1t is tried" was the reply.
''Then he may get of?'
"Yes,"
"And l may have the costs to rayg"
"Yes,"
And you won't agree to fine him?"
His Honor began to read frgid letter on
the practice of law, but the man for whom
it was intended started for the door, say
ing:

was always boasting how folks used to work
in their young days, one day challenged his
two sons to pitch on load of hay as fast as
he could load it. The challenge was accept
ed, the hay wagon driven around, and the
trial commenced. For some time the old
man held his own very creditably, calling
out;

TRUST.
Searching for strawberries ready TO eat,
Finding them fragrant and large and sweet,
What do you think found at my feet,
Deep in the green hillside?
Four brown sparrows, the cunning things,
Feathered on back and breast and wings,
Proud with the dignity plumage brings,
opening their four mouths wide.
STOPPING lower to watch my prize,
Watching their motions with eager eyes,
Dropping my berries with glad surprise,
A plaintive sound heard
And looking up at the mournful CALL
spied on q branch near the old stone wall
The poor little mother bird.
With grief and terror her heart was wrung,
And while to the tender bough she chung,
She felt that the lives Of her birdlings hung
on still more slender thread. @.
"Ah, birdie,"I said, "If you only knew
That my heart was warm and tender and true =
But the thought that loved her birdlings too
Never entered her small brown head.
And so through this world Of ours we go,
Bearing our burdens Of needless woe,
Many heart beating heavy and slow
Under its load Of care;
But oh II we only, only knew.
That God was tender and warm and true,
And that lie loved us through and through,
Our hearts would be lighter than air.
