Exciting Combat of Snakes.
Washington Star.

An exciting mill took place ut the
National Mucsum the other day. The
lives snakes, Of which there are quite u
number, are kept III four glass cases,
the bottoms Of which are covered with
sand. Recently watel-snako was put
in the case which the king snake occu-
pies. His kingship resented the intru-
sion and attacked the visitor, and the
two went tumbling around the case to-
gether in approved pugifstic style,
Three rounds were fought. In the first
two the snake forced the fighting, and
the water-snake confined himself mainly
to getting out of the awkward and dan
gerous positions in which the strength
and skill of his adversary placed him,
But rs the dodo will turn when trod-
den upon, SO will the water-snake when
bitten too hard, and when rubbed down
with sponge after the second round
he seemed to get his second wind and
was eager for the fray. Meanwhile the
king snake had opened his mouth q its
full capacity, and was sharpening his
teeth against the side Of the ease. Then
came the fierce encounter, and both
snakes fought nobly Finally the king
snake took his adyersarv's head entirely
in his mouth and began to chew on it,
which seemed To discourage the water
snake, and caused his hacker to throw
up the sponge. The victor of the match
is an old hand Mt contests of this kind,
and recently bit nm offending neighbor
completely in two.

Ukraine, an Egyptian, . native Of Tu-
MS, prince OF ImereZia Is passing by.
II seems that Constantinople is the same
as Il always was; the capital of three
continents, and the queen Of twenty
vice realms. But even this idea Is in.
sufficient TO account for the spectacle,
and one faneies . tide Of emigration,
produced by some enormohs caiaclysm,
that has overturned the antique cOnti-
iient.
Seekers aftet The beautiful or the hor-
rible viii here find their most audacious
desires fulfilled: Raphael would be 10
ecstasies, and Rembrandt would tear
his hair. The purest types Of Greek
and Caucasian beauty are mingled with
iat noses and woolly heads; queens and
fairies pass beside you; lovely faces and
faces deformed by disease and wounds;
monstrous feet, and tiny Circassian feet
no longer than your hand, gigantic por-
ters, enormously corpulent Turks and
'-la=iE sucks Of skeleton shadows Of men
that lifl you with pity and disgass, eve
ry strangest in which can be presented
the ascetic life, the abtise Of pleasure,
extreme fatigue, the excess Of opulence
and the misery that kills. Who loves
colors may here have his fill. No two
figures are dressed alike. Here are
shaWls twisted around the head, savage
flllets, corohets OF fags, skirts and un-
dervests in ripes and squares like har-
lequins, girdles stuck full of knives that
reach to the arm-pits, Mameluke trou-
sers, short drawers, skirts, togas, trail
ing sheets; coats trimmed with ermine,
vests like golden cuirasses, sleeves
pufFed and slashed, habits mankish and
habits covered with gold lace, men
dressed like women, and women that
look like men; beggars with the port oi
princes, a ragged elegance, profusion
Of colors, of fringes, tags, and huttering
ends Of childish and theatrical Gecora-
tons, that remind one of a masquerade
in a mad-house, for which all the old
clothes dealers In the universe have
emptied their stores.
The first amaZement over, the festive
colors fade; 1t is no longer a grand car
nival procession that is passing; il is
humanity itself filing by with all its mis-
cries and folIies, with all the infinite
discords of its belief and ITS laws: il is
a pilgrimage of a debased people and a
fallen race; an immensity Of suffering
to be helped, of shame TO be washed
out, of chains TO be broken; an accu-
mutation of tremendous problems writ
ten In characters Of blood, which can
only be solved by torrents of blood; and
il is all horribly sad.
