Not Dead, But Sleeping .

The San Jose Herald gives the
following: In this city resider a
lady noted among her friends for her
timidity and nervousness, together
with an adversion to snakes, toads
and reptiles. The sight of a lizard
was almost sufficient to make her
tremble, and close proximity to a
snake was accompanied by d sort OF
Mysteries. A few evenings ago.
while walking into grass plot near
the house, she felt some ething strike
her underpinning between the ankle
and knee instinct told her that
"snake had at last fastened to her,
and giving one loud screech, she
bolted for the house. At the first
few jumps the thing seemed wrathly,
and she could feel it insert its fangs,
almost to the bone. Before reach
ing the door she was aware that the
cold, clammy coils had unwound
themselves, and she reached the
interior with just sufficient life to
get to the cupboard. Her faculties
were at work instantly to think up
an autidote for the poison, and in
looking at her pedestals, she could
see the bright red spots where she
was wounded. There was no one in
the house, and she, remembering
that she had heard brandy mention
ed as being of service, took down
the bottle used for making mince
pies, and turning the neck into her
mouth drained the bottle, and offer
ing prayer for the speedy return OF
her husband, threw herself on the
bed, and scrawling on a visiting
card POISONED by snake" went 10
sleep. How long she remained this
way is not known. Her husband
arriving, saw her, and then, notic-
ing the incription on the card. ran
out and down to town for a doctor.
Arriving, the physician found she
was still alive. and in turning her
over to get some medicine into her
gullet, got his proboscis in line with
her breath, and shifted the whisky.
without saying much to the frighten-
ed husband, he administered the pc
tons used to sober people, and in
less than an hour the woman who
had been too drunk TO move, was
sufficiently recovered to relate what
had happened. A search for the
snake ended in the discovery of
few wires belonging to a hoop skirt
that she had stepped upon, and in
her endeayor to free herself the wire
had pierced the skin. Imagination
and the liquor did the rest.

The Smack i'm School.

A village school, not far away,
Mid Berkshire's hills, one summers day
Was humming with its wonted noise
OF three score mingled girls aud boys
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more ON furtive mischief bent,
The while the masters downward look
Is fastened on a copy book,
When suddenly, behind his back
Rose sharp and clear rOusing smack,
As 'twere battery of bliss
Let OF in one tremendous kiss.

Like wretch o'ertaken in his track
With stolen chattles on his back
viii hung his head in fear and shame
And to the awful presence came,
great green, bashful simpleton,
The but of all good natured fun.
With smile suppressed and birch appraised
The threatener faltered-" I'm amazed
That you, my biggest pupil,
Should be guilty Of an act SO rude
Before the whole set school to bost,

From the Virginia City Chronicle.
A complicated pedro arbitration
was settled in Justice Moses's Court
the day before yesterday. Henry
Krause was charged with having as
sauited Patrick McGinlay in saloon
on B street. The quarrel grew out
of a game OF pedro, for the drinks.
and when the Judge saw what was
coming he braced himself with a
Revised Hoyle and Schenck's Com.

with the entanglements Of the case.
The prosecuting witness frat took

to tell what he knew:

We Come and Go.

If you or I
To-day should die,
The birds would sing as sweet to-morI oW;
The vernal spring,
Her flowers would bring,
And few would think of us with sorrow.
Yes, he is dead,
Would then be said:
The corn would floss, the grass yield hay,
The cattle low,
And summer go,
And few would heed US pass away,
How soon We pass
How few, alas!
Remember those who turn to moldl
Whose faces fade,
With autumn's shade,
Beneath the sodded ehureh-yard cold
Yes, it is So
We come, we go
They nail our birth, they mourn US dead
A day or more, --
The winter DER,
Another takes our place instead.

Thirty-Three Years Imprisoned.

A woman has lately been found
in secluded cave near Ubnio, in
Italy, who had been imprisoned there
thirty.three years. In 1874 she be-
came attached to an Austrian officer
but her father, violent hater of the
Austrians, who at that time were in
possession ofthat part of Italy where
he resided. refused his consent to a
marriage. The girl stated that she
would marry without his permission.
He dissimulated his anger, and dur
ing walk, in which he accompanied
her, he induced her to descend into
the cave with him, by means of a
rope ladder, with view of exanin-
ing it. He was the first TO ascend
to the surface, and withdrawing the
ladder, left her. She was kept reg
ularly supplied with food and cloth
ing.
At her fathers death. her sis
ters, whose hatred toward the Aus
trians was equally great, continued
the imprisonment. The unfortun.
ate woman, on her liberation, had
complexion of death.like pallor,
caused by the darkness in which she
had so long lived, and her voice had
departed, through constant cries for
help during the early part of her Sc
questration. She could speak only
in hoarsc whisper.

There is great complaint among New
York dry goods dealers of the dullness
of trade. Both jobbers and retailers
are idle, Notwithstanding the lateness of
the season. Hopes are entertained that
the 'fall trade" will cause great inn
provement in the situation, though pre-
dictions are announced with caution.
One of the most remarkable features in
connection with the dullness is the low
price of most of the staple dry goods.
Velvets, silks, woolens and cottons can
all be bought at figures lower than have
been known for years, and yet the pub
lie are not tempted, and calicoes at 4
cents a yard, muslin and woolens at
and silks at rs cents are all offered ia
