Journalists ana the Plague.

In New Orleans, Vicksburg, Mem

as so many others have done. They

service which they knew would be
sadly needed. Scores OF them have
been down with the psstilenee; many
OF them have died, but none have fall
tered or retreated. On some newspa-
pers only one or two journalists have
been left, but tue survivor or survi-
vors have kept religiously at their
work. Nor have they by any means re-
stricted themselves to their business
they have distributed supplles-msny
belonging to the Howards-sttend-
ed to the sick and dying, and worked
necessarily to relieve suffering, to
help humanity in every way possible.
They have seen death steadily ap.

calmly in the face /; they have fell
they must be victims. But they have
not blanched, nor abated effort while
they could lift voice or hand and, as
their fatal turn came they have

to submit, yielding as dauntless mel

shelEerIng vehicles and Machines.

Notwithstanding the number of
carts, and mOwing-machInes, and
horse rRkes, and other tools that we
see standing by the roadside or in the
field, the year round, most farmers
believe in the economy of housing all
these things. They know that iron
rusts, and that woodwork swells and
shrinks with the changes Of the at
mosphere. They think it is only q
question OF time that the new car
riage-house or shed shall be built,
where the scattered tools and vehicles
will have 3 permanent home. This
waiting to provide the needed shelter
is the most expensive kind OF saving.
The elements are all the while at
work, depreciatiDg the value Of the
wood and iron that are exposed To the
weather. A seyths aud snath hung

II they have timber or building stone

Flooring is not needed. The bare

4 Remarkable SNAKE story.

One night last week, while Mrs.
Fannie, were In the city attending an
entertainment, q remarkable incident
occurred during their absence from
home. About ii o'clock 3 lady who
was visiting the family thought she
heard q noise In Mrs. WOOdruff's
sleeping apartment, caused by some
thing after two very fiDe mOcking
birds In cage hanging in the win
dow. The birds kept fluttering, and
she finally called q gentleman, also
stopping at the house, who imme-
diately entered the room and saw in
the cage q black snake as large as q
mans arm, coiled around one OF the
birds. His body had made two coils
around his helpless victim, and al
though his snakeship was as large as
q mans arm, as above stated, that
part around the bird had been drawn
to such q tension that IL was no lar
ger than q mans finger. A rattle IN
the cage with poker, and the reptile
lOosened his hold on the bird and
attempted to seamper away, but was
quickly dispatched by the gentleman.
Upon measurement the snake was
found 10 be over six feet loug, and
was OF what Is known as the black
snake species. A remarkable part OF
the story is thst the other bird In the
cage at the time has since COM
meneed to shed its feathers very rap
Idly. In fact, the next morning the
tail feathers commenced 70 drop out,
and now all have fallen to the floor Of
the cage. The bird looks sick, and
the body feathers are nearly sll gone.

Colony or BabOOBs.

One OF the most curious facts we
have heard for long time Says q
Calcutta paper was 3 complaint
village on the BaraekpOre road, about
three miles north OF CossipOre. A col
Ony of 200 or 300 balloons took up their
quarters in the village some six or
eight months ago, and h ave made 1t
almost uninhabitsble. They are great
brutes, we are told, four feet high, and
as savage as wild beasts. They attack
children, and even full-grown women
without fear, and have set up reign
Of terror over the people, going In and
out OF their houses as they please, and
"VittliDg free" upon the plsntsius,
guavas, mangOes and other fruit grown
in their gardens. The people are afraid
to shoot them, as the whole colony
would attack them instantly, Che
police will not interfere, and the viii
lage Is not merely ridden to death by
these apes, but is in such q state Of
insecurity from budmAshes that the
miserable villagers have sent 3
deputGtion to US, implOring us to
represent their condition to the Gov
ernment. The village 10 but eight
miles from Calcutta, upon the river,
and, il the statement about the
"baboOns Is true, we should turn out
company Of the volunteers upon
them. The strength and daring OF
the animals are declared to terrify the
people, the brutes selecting girls and
women as the especial object OF theiI
attacks.

Hiram Lynde's experiment proved
beneficial in three ways. He learned
by it that fashionable ChTistians,"
even who wear velvet, silks aud jew
els, have often noble hearts which
beat in hopeful sympathy OF the
needy. 1t was the means OF intrOduc-
ing Joseph Phelps to Mr.. Harrington

took deep interest in his welfare.
Finally it revealed TO the Harring-
tons the duty Of being more cOnsid-
crate toward those serving them, and

Artemus Ward a, 3 Practical Joker.
Browne and GriswoId the nF.f

Browne and Griswold, the HFzl
Contributor" were on newspaper
work st the same time ia Cleveland.
snd were very intimate friends. One
day there came 70 the city q dramatic
reader, man of some note, but of 8
very timid disposition. These two
WORTHLESS in some manner discovered
that be wss person easily to be iu-
posed upon, and shortly after his
arrival they paid him 9 visit. It was
an early hour in the mOrning-long
after the man had retired-And they
found Il difficult to arouse him. They
told him they were editors, and want
ed to hear him read before writing
him up. They invited him to step
into the hall adjoining the hotel and
give them specimen of his powers.
At first the man refused to go with
them, but when they told him sternIy
that they were editors, and would
crush him il be did not comply, he
felt compelled 10 go. Nor would they
allow him to put on his clothes, but
forced him to go in night-dress to q
cold and dreary hall, where they COM
placently smoked their cigars while
they listened to him declalm, with
chattering teeth and trembling voice,
for several hours. When they finally
permitted him to GO, they told him,
by way of consolation, that they had
always thirSted to hear q dramatic
reader In night-dress, and they were
very much gratified with his perform
ance.
Brown was 3 great lover Of s prae-
tieal joke. One OF his maddest prauks
was in New York city, in 1858. He
had been at some benefit performance
with Dan Bryant and Nelse Seymour,
and at its conclusion he induced these
two to join him on q lark. Accord
ingly they went to Bryant's property
room and each dOnned 8 complete suit
OF armOr. Then they armed them
selves with brOadswOrds, and, in the
still hours OF the night, went forth in
search Of defenceless citizens. 10 and
down the street in grim array they
marched, and whenever they found a
man alone and unarmed they would
make him get down on bis knees and
pray for mercy. Then, after having
frightened him almost out OF bis
senses, they would permit him to 20
on his way. The fun, however, after
q while was brought to an abrupt ter
minatiOn by the police, who marched
them off To the TOmbs. They entered
fictitious names; but :he Judge
next morning recognized the
culprIts, and discharged them with
an admOnitiOn. On the same night
they visited the house Of Tom Jack |
son, who had just brought to this
country the famous Swiss bell-rine-
ers. In response TO their ViO- |
lent ringing OF the bell, Jackson |
came to an upper window, and, not |
