SITTING AROUND.

They are sitting around on barrels and
chairs,
Discussing their own and their neigh
bors affairs,
And the look of content that is seen on
each face
Seems to say, 81 have my appropriate
place." .
In bar-rooms and groceries calmly they
sit,
And serenely chew borrowed tobacco and
spit,
While the stories they tell and the jokes
that they crack,
Show their hearts have grown hard ana
undoubtedly black,
While sitting around.
The "sitter around' is man of no means,
And his face wouldn't pass for quart of
white beans,
Yet he somehow or other contrives to
exist,
Andi is frequently seen with drink in his
fist,
While sitting around.
The loungers they toll not, nor yet do
they spin,
Unless it be yarns while enjoying their
gin.
They are people of leisure, yet often, It's
true,
They allude to the work they're intend
ing to do
While sitting around.
They've habit of talking of other mems
wives
As :hey whittle ip sticks with their horn
handled knives
They're a scaly old set, and wherever you
go
You'll find them in groups, or strung
out in row,
Sitting around.

archbishop rise from his seat, and still

archbishop-"a stroke of paralysis. have

ty minutes, and find myself without SEN
sation."

said the duchess, lookingup to him with
a somewhat quizzical smile-"pardon
me for contradicting you, but it is l
that you have been pinching."

COLORADO TURTLEs.-A gentleman
from Monotony tells rather interesting
story about pair of snapping-turtles
He is an old plainsmau, and few days
ago took his shotgun and went over to
Eagle Tail for the purpose of getting a
few ducks. Arrived at the creek he
found no ducks, but saw two of those
great fresh.water turtles, met with more
frequently in Eastern ponds than in Col
orado, and apparently weighing about
forty pounds each. They are very shy
bird, their head popping into the shell
upon the slightest alarm, but being
good shot the hunter succeededin blind
ing both of them, and bothering them
so that they were easily caught and
dragged out. Snappers are very active,
and unlike sea turtle, being provided
with long aud strong legs, can turn
themselves after being placed upon their
backs. Their captor had no way of Sc
curing them, and would get only few
steps away in the search for piece of
wood out of which to make stakes, when
his captives would be going at turtle
2.4O gait toward the creek. The con-
test between instinct and reason was
kept up more than an hour aud halt,
much to the disadvantage of reason, at
the end of which time ranchman liv-
ing near by came along aud assisted the
hunter in taking the turtles to his home.
Here they were put in sheep pen hav.
ing fence about three feet high, and
the men went to the house. Quarter OF
an hour afterwards the hunter went to
the pen for his gun and found that the
turtles were gone. AS there were no
holes in the teuce, and as they had not
dug out, the conclusion was irresistible
that they had climbed over. Their trail
was found, and about half mile away
they were caught making bee line for
the creek. Firing off his gun, the ranch
man again came to his assistance, and
the turtles were again put in the pen,
and tied to stake. They were worth
watching, however, and few minutes
afterward it was found that they had
gnawed off the rope, and again started
for the creek They were only few
rods away this time, however, and were
then tied so short that they could not
reach the cord, and ultimately arrived
at their captor's kitchen in Monotony.

THE BIGGEsT SNAKE SToRY.-While
out hunting on last Tuesday, near
Starved Rock, LaSalle county, ILL.,, Mr..
James Jenkins discovered large cave
in the side of hill, under rock, and
while opposite, heard the squealing Of
pigs inside. He stepped close to the
mouth Of the cave TO investigate the
matter, and to bis horror saw protuding
the head OF an immense rattlesnake,
with pig in its mouth. The pig was
about four months old and weighed
about ssventy-fve pounds. He sum
moned number of neighbors with
guns aud pitchforks, who built large
fire in the mouth of the cave in order to
drive the snakes out In about an hour
they commenced pouring out over the
burning Goals. AS they approached in
sight the parties fired upon them from
the top of the cliff. They continued to
pour out until the surrounding woods,
for twenty yards square, was literally
covered with dead and live snakes.
They killed three hundred and ten, but
many made their escape. The largest
one killed, male, was ten feet long and
measured rouud the body two and
halt feet The next largest, a female,
was seven feet long and measured one
foot round the body. The largest
snake have been preserved in alcohol,
and will be on exhibition at the We

referred to bad one hundred and ten
rattles. The cave was literally filed

A SAD AFFAIR.-The Baltimore cor
respondent of the New York Herald
says:
"The death of Miss Ida V. Branch,
aged twen:y-three, which followed
surgical operation at the Maryland Uni
versity Hospital yesterday, has brought
to light singular romance in real life.
She was the daughter of James Branch,
residing near Smithfeld, Isle of Wight
county, Va, and possessed extraordlna-
ry beauty, ard was besides young lady
of culture and refinement She was the
belle of the village and had many admir-
ers. Among others who sought her
hand was Mr.. Ferguson, the son OF
neighboring farmer, to whom with the
consent Of her father Ida BEANIE betroth-
ed. In January last certain indications
in the appearance Of Miss Brauch arous.
ed a suspicion on the part of her father,
that the intimacy between them had been
of an improper character, and Mr..
Branch communicated his suspicious to
his daughter. The latter earnestly de-
MED the imputation, and solemnly pro-
tested that her intimacy had not exceed
ed that of propriety. His suspicious
were allayed, but subsequently they
were agained aroused, and Miss Branch
was sent TO her sister, Mrs. Ferguson,
at Charlottesville. To this lady Ida
made an equally positive denial, but her
physical condition was such that her
father deemed a medical examination
necessary. He visited Charlottesville,
and the physician, after examination,
confirmed his suspicious. Notwithstand-
ing this she again protested her inno-
cence, and second examination by an
other physician revealed the presence Of
an ovarian tumor. DR.. Randolph, who
made this discovery, recommended her
removal to Baltimore for medical treat
ment. She arrived here on the 18th in
slant and was placed under the care
of Professor Johnston and other emi-
nent phyicians comprising the faculty
of the Maryland University. The to
NOR grew so rapidly that an operation
was found necessary. one was assured
that the tumor would resul. in death
in a few days, while the operation
might possibly save her life. She read
lily assented, requesting that if she died
a post Inortem might be made in order
to establish her purity and innocence.
TIL operation was performed on Friday,
and the tumor, when removed, was
found to be Of the extraordinary weight
Of forty-four pounds. She rallied slight
ly, but subsequently sank, and death en-
sued on Saturday afternoon. 1t was
discovered that decomposition had be-
gun before the tumoI was removed, and
that she could not in any case have liv-
ed more than day or two. Her re-
mains were taken to Virginia for burri-

GRANTS PRoFITs AND Losses IN
SToCK GAMBLING.-A wealthy man of
New York, generally alleged to be one
of the presenters of a residence at Long
Branch TO Gen. Grant, said 10 me last
Sunday:
"You make some inquiries about
Grants original cottage. L think you
will find that it never was the PROPOSE
ton of anybody largely interested in
Long Branch to bring Gen. Grant here.
The scheme had a Philadelphia origin.
A subscription list was taken around
among the residents and sojourners by
a Philadelphia person, and number
who subscribed never paid up, so that
the balance had to be settled up by one
man mainly, and he not the Philadel-
phian aforesaid. There is more matter
for laughter than condemnation in the
subject"
General Grant, it is reported here on
good authority, got to be tolerably
bold operator on his own account in
stocks, particularly mining stocks. He
made $4,000 one forenoon in Cincinnati,
just before his departure for Europe,
buying a certain Nevada stock by tele-
graph through the Drexels. A MEM
Der of the Syndicate at Long Branch
says that lie paid $4,000 to Gen.
Grant in stock profits, Grant taking his
own advice.
Yet be made also large losses, and it
isthecurrent opinion here. where he is best
known, that the General is worth $3.50,
900 to s35O,OOO, or less than half his
average salary.
