A Snakes Wonderful Feat.

Speaking OF snakes, yesterday, Super
intendent Brown, of the Geological Gar
den, said that he could tell snake story
and not second-handed one either.
About year ago one of the large rep
tiles in the collection took sick and
seemed to be going into adecline. Moth
ing that they could give him appeared
to do him good, and from loss Of appe-
tite and sleeplessness the snake became
a mere wreck of his former self. A large
blanket had been placed in the serpent's
cell for him to sleep upon. One morn
ing the keeper found that the blanket
had disappeared. Search was made
throughout the cage, but without sue
cess. At the same time the snakes body
had swelled to the thickness of a good
sized sapling. He had swallowed the
blanket. But the blanket wouldn't
digest, and the snake became sicker
than before. In this manner he lolled
around like wan dyspeptic for over
four weeks. Finally the blanket was
discharged by natural causes. Immedi-
ately the snake began to improve The
swelling of his body gradually dwindled
down, and he grew larger and fatter
than before, till the box became too
small to hold him. The keepers then
removed him to larger cage. He ate
Ikea gourmand and at times found room
for two and three times the customary
quantity of food. The blanket acted as
sort of medicine upon his stomach and
cleaned him out entirely. Now he is
fifteen feet long, eighteen inches in cir
cumference, and is the healthiest boa
constructor of the lot. A change of color
was the only visible effect on the blanket
Under the microscope it showed that it
had become little worn by being
rubbed in the animals stomach. It
came out undigested, and it was careful

Clock in Trinity's Tower.

The clock in Trinity tower, New York
city, is the heaviest in America. It
might seem that in its construction an
effort had been made to ascertain how
much metal could possibly be planted in
a clock. The frame stands nine feet
long, five feet high, and three feet in
width. The main wheel is thirty inches
in diameter. There are three wheels in
the time train, and three each in the
strike and the chime. The winding
wheels are formed of solid castings,
thirty inches in diameter and two inches
thick, and are driven by a opinion and
arbor." On this arbor is placed jack,
or another wheel, pinion and crank, and
it takes $50 turns OF this crank to wind
each weight up. It requires 700 feet OF
three-inch rope to wind the clock. The
pendulum is eighteen feet long. and os-
cillates twenty-five times minute. The
dials are eight feet in diameter, although
they look little more than half that size

He undertook to reply to Mr.. Council,

Meeting Between Grant and Bismarck.


A correspondent of the Herald de-
scribos the visit Gen. Grant P id to Bis
marck in Berlin. The General walked
from his hotel to the Radzewell Palace,
only few rods distant. His visit had
been expected. He advanced to the
doors, but, before he had time to ring,
two servants threw them open, and he
passed into an open marble hall.
Through the opened and opening doors,
with both hands extended to meet the
General, came the Prince. He wore an
officers uniform, and, o.. taking the
Generals hand, said, "Glad to welcome
Gen. Grant to Germany" The General
answered that there was no incident in
his German tour that more interested
him than this opportunity Of meeting
the Prince.
Bismarck expressed surprise at seeing
the General so young man, bat, On a
comparison Of ages, it was found that
Bismarck was only seven years the Cen
erals senior. "That," said the Prince,
"shows the value Of military life, for
here you have the frame Of young
man. while feel like an old man." The
General, smiling, announced that he was
at that period of life when he could
have no higher compliment than being
called young man. By this time the
Prince had escorted the General to a
chair. One of the Princes first ques-
lions was about Gen. Sheridan.
"The General and T." said the Prince.

and we became great friends" Gen.
Grant said that he had letters from Sheri-
dan recently, and he was quite we'll.

answered the General, 81 regard Sheri-
dan as not only one of the great soldiers
of our war, but one of the great soldiers
of the world, as a man who is fit for the
highest commands. No better General
ever lived than Sheridan.
After long conversation, in which
the congress, the attempt on the Empe-
ror's life, and other topics were dis
cussed, our civil war was preached, when
Bismarck said, cit was long war and
great work well done, and I suppose it
means long peace" 'I believe so"
said the General.
Both gentlemen arose, and the Gen
eral renewed the expression of his pleas
ure at having seen man who was so
we'll known and SO highly esteemed in
America. General" answered the
Prince, " the pleasure and the honor are
mine. Germany and America have al
ways been in so friendly relation that
nothing delights us more than to meet
Americans, and especially an American
who has done so much for his country,
and whose name is so much honored in
Germany as your own" The Prince and
the General walked side by side to the
door, and after shaking hands the Gen
eral passed into the square. The guard
presented arms, and the General lit a
fresh cigar and strolled home.

eminent.

Lord Beaconsfeld did recently that
which cost Charles I. his head and
James III. his throne. He assumed au-
tocratic authority, spurned the bundle
of acts called the British constitution,
and defed the Imperial Parliament when
he moved troops at will from Malta and
Hindoostan, and acquired Cyprus with
out consultation with anyone save his
sovereign self. In every way he acted
as if the Queen was but nonentity and
Parliament body under his absolute
control No other Premier ever dared
to take such liberties with the British
people, whose proudest boast is that
they live in the freest nation on the
globe. The autocracy Of the Romanoff

field.

Sunday morning they did not come,
and the information was brought that
Charlie had been drowned. It seems that
the boys borrowed a boat of Mr. Merrill,
who told them they might have it but that it

Charlie replied that they could swim and
knew how to manage boat. After fishing
short time on the east side of the lake,
Charlie proposed to cross and try to spear
some fish. In the middle of the lake they
found rough water, and the boat sprung a
leak. They could not bail fast enough, and
at last the boat capsized. Charlie shouted
to Willie to hold on, and they both succeed
