Eecollections of Pioneer Work in Califor-
ME is title of book just issued in San Fran
cisco. Its author is Rev. James Woods,
formerly pastor of the Presbyterian Church
in Carson Mr.. Woods was among the small
band of pioneer clergymen in California. He
was member of the first Presbytery held in
Stockton in 1850 The S. F. Bulletin says
the book is in many respects very entertain
;1g. The Biographical sketches of pioneer
acquaintance and the anecdotes of pioneer
life, of which it is full, are very naturally
drawn and very pleasantly told There is no
special relationship between any one story
and another. But, massed together, they
present kaleidoscope description of pioneer
life in all its ruggedness and angularity. The
work OF The evangelist and the story-teller
is sometimes very curiously blended. The
to exhort in season and out of
season is very strong in the author. 1t is his
hobby and his weakness He rounds of
every story with a moral and every sketch
with spiritual lesson. But the reader is
not likely to quarrel with him on this &C
count, for there is vein of earnestness and
sincerity running through it all.

The PLANET VENUS AND THE Moon were in
conjunction on Saturday evening They pre-
scented beautiful spectacle, which attracted
much attention. The Enterprise thus speaks
of it The bright star which attracted so
much attention was the planet Venus, and
the phenomenon itself was due 20 the fact
that the earth, the moon and Venus were in
Injunction, which means that the trio were
for short time in the same straight line.
The conjunction occurred shortly before sun
set, and at dusk the evening star had just
emerged from her hiding place behind the
moon, and appeared below the lower surface
of the latter. AS the evening progressed the
planet crept further and further away from
the earth's satellite. Venus, which will con-
tlnue to be evening star for the remainder of
the year, is the second planet in order of dis
tance from the sun, Mercury being the first
The mean distance of Venus from the sun is
&c, 1874 900 miles, 1t approximates very
nearly to the earth in size, its diameter being
Z $40 miles. It's revolution around the sun
Is accomplished In 224 days. The planet has
an atmosphere and other conditions favorable
to inhabitation, but is believed to be without
a satellite. Every eight years the planet
shines with sufficient brilliancy to be plainly
visible for several months in broad daylight.
The last time she was thus visible was in
1876. The rarity of our atmosphere NO doubt
the spectacle more beautiful than it
otherwise would have been.

THE SILVER BILL SURE TO PAss.--Control-
Ter Knox takes a rather gloomy view of the
silver question. He believes there will be a
two-t thirds majority in the Senate in favor of
che Bland bill reported from the Finance
Committee, and that the Senate would pass
the bill over the Presidents veto. One of
the most pronounced hard money men in the
Senate concurs in this opinion, and he is as
well qualified as any in the Senate to judge of
the temper of that body. He says the bill is
certain to pass by a full two thirds vote, and,
contrary to general opinion, when absentees
return, it will be seen the bill has greater
strength than now appears. These express
sions OF opinion do not refer to the Bland bill
in the form as it passed the House, but to the
bill as reported by the Senate Finance Com
mittee, with the free coinage section stricken
out.

The Largest Snake In America.

We were yesterday informed by Mr..
Smith, living on Quapaw Bayou, that
while he and his son William, aged about
thirteen years, were out in the woods on
Monday afternoon last, driving up their
cattle, their attention was attracted by
the bleating of a calf some distance from
them. Thinking probably that the poor
animal had begged, they started to It's
assistance. They had gone short dis
lance down the bayou when they dis.
covered yearling, in the coils Of huge
snake, the body of which was suspended
from the limb of black gum tree about
twenty feet from the ground, and which
projected from the bank Immediately
over the water. Mr.. Smith and his son
were almost terror-stricken at the sight,
and stood speechless for several moments,
unconsciously watching the movements
OF the huge reptile as he entwined him
self around the already dead body of the
yearling, and at every coil of the snlke
they could hear the bones OF the calf
break.
After coiling itself around the lifeless
form Of the yesrling and crushing every
bone in its body, the serpent let loose its
hold from the tree and dropped down
alongside its victim, and began licking it
all over, preparatory, it Is supposed, TO
swallowing. About this time Mr.. Smith
re,evcd his senses, and, after watching
the monster snake open its capacious
mouth several times, he fired on 1t with
his rife, striking it near the head, and

1. A dry warm place to sleep.
9. Good drink. either warm slop or

8. Not too many hogs in an Enclosure,

II you have large and small together, the

will not get their share Of food. There
