Boston Ratrlesnake and Rat.
From the Boston Posi-

A short time since one OF the members o!
prominent Boston manufacturing nrM
spent few weeks hunting In FLORIDA, ana
on his return he brought with him monster
rattlesnake. the gift OF friend. His snake
shin measured about five feet in length, and
has a body the size OF mans arm, the white,
yellow. and brown cutlcle blending rather
beautifully in patches OF various forms. The
heavy triangular head, characteristic OF ven
emous reptiles, has sinister expression, and
in moments of excitement the five rattles on
his tail kept up an unpleasantly suggestive
wh,rling while aforked tongue of inky black
ness and surprising length darts angriy from
his tnrtle.ll like mouth. He.is no sleepy, half
starved fellow, as may readily be imagined
but wide awake and ready for an encounter
of any kind. IL was into the cage occupied
by this snake that three days since rather
small.szed wharf rat was introduced in the
expectation that the rodent would form a
meal for the stranger. The snake seemed to
think so, too, for he darted on the unwilling
visitor and caught him by the neck. The rat,
who had hitherto been running around the
cage trying to get out gave sharp spueal as
lie felt the serpents fangs, and twisting hun
self about, buried his teeth in the scaly jaw
OF the aggressor. The snake writhed and
twisted and ratified sharp notes of alarm as
the rat kept his sharp incisors at work, and
before the spectators could fairly comprehend
what had happened the little quadruped mad
shaken himself loose and was hopping IN
alright at the futher end of the cage Tor a
means of exit. To the surprise OF all he
y showed no effects of poison, and when the
snake again made grab at HIM he met his
creeping foe half way and shipped of piece
fhis long forked tongue. This seemed to be
rather more than the Floridian had bargained
for, aud he dragged himself into corner,
cast down and defeated. Since that time the
rat has fourished in his strange quarters. He
capers over the body of his Wilton enemy,
and avoids the punch OF stick by creeping
under the head of the snake. The rat seems
perfectly Indifferent as regards the reptile,
and when the latter, reused to high degree OF
anger by outsiders, makes strike at him, he
hardly takes the trouble to dodge, and only
bites back when thereafter is unusually often,
sive. 1t is singular condition Of things, and
the rats immunity from death cannot very
easily be accounted for.

Facing Death.

Brother Gardner was yesterday whitewash-

One day last week Detroit mechanic who
was going down Michigan avenue, be-
came favorably impressed with pair OF
pants hanging in front of cheap clolhlng

all right, and he made up his mind 10 pur-
chase

dealer. II warrants dem etery dime"
After three or four days wear the purchas'
er found the bottoms of the pants crawling
towards his knees. 1t was bad case OF
shrinkage, and he got mad and went back to
tn store and said:
You swindled me on these pants! See how
they have shrunk!'
The dealer looked HIM all over, felt of his
head, pulled on his pants, and finally said:
