A Reliable Man Wanted.

Z" A reliable man wanted to take
charge of FARM" A reliable man
wanted in a counting-hOuse''-" A reli-
able man wanted to superinted a mill''
=" A reliable man wanted as teller in
a bank,' so the advertisements read.
What demand there is for reliable
men! Young women want them for
husbands; fathers and mothers want
them for sons-in-law. People in trouble
inquire anxiously for reliable lawyer
whom they can consult; the sick want
reliable physician; the churches want a
reliable man for a minister, although
they do not advertise their want in a
newspaper.
There seems to be no end to the de-
mands for reliable men. Are reliable
men so scarce that so much point is
made of getting them?
We apprehend they are not as plenty
as they should be. Reliable architects
and contractors and engineers are not
to be found in every place, or there
would not be so many railway and
bridge accidents; cashiers and other
bank officers are not always reliable, or
there would be no defalcations. The
same may be said of trustees and insur-
ance officers. In truth, reliable men do
not crowd one another in any class or
occupation.
Young man, it is for you TO deter
mine whether you will be a reliable
man or not. 1t all depends upon your
self. Nothing is easier; only resolve
that you will be a reliable man, and
stick to it through every temptation.
There has been some criticism on the
word reliable, as not being good En-
gli-h. But the word will answer very
well, if we can only have the quality
which it describes. .-NeU York Ledger.

An Authentic Snake Story.

AS the fast express on the Lake Shore
stopped at Berea yesterday to take wat
er, the passengers saw in the corner of
a rail-fence, summing itself, large
snake. When the engineer blew off a
stream of Kissing, hot steam, the snake,
suddenly coiled itself up as if to jump
at the brakeman, who stood with his
back towards the reptile. Col. Robert
Downes, who was in the parlor-car, saw
the dangerous position of the brake
man, and with a cool presence of mind
leaped from the car, grasped fence
rail, and proceeded to strike at the
snake.
BY this time the ladies in the car were
screaming, and the other male passen-
gers had jumped out to help the Col
onel. The snake lodged Col. .Downes's
first blow by dipping its head, and then
suddenly, to the horror of every one,
sprang from its coil head foremost upon
the platform of the car, and, the door
being open, glided with fiery eyes and
darting tongue, clear into the center of
the car. Several ladies nearly tainted,
and the screams of the frightened pas
sengers brought Superintendent Newell,
who had a revolver, from the rear
car. Mr.. Newell is a good shot, having
served through the Mexican war; but
the screams of the lady passengers
seemed to unnerve him, and his first
shot missed the snake, which now coil
ed itself up, with head erect, ready to
spring in among half-fainting group
of ladies.
Luckily, as soon as Mr.. Newall fired,
and before the snake could make a
deadly spring, Mr.. Augustus Schell, of
New York, drew revolver and shot
the snake dead. Quiverilg moment
its head fell, and the dead bedy lay
lifeless on the carpet of the car.
On measuring the snake, it was found
to be II feet and seven inches long, and
had IA rattles in its tad, and four rat
ties around its neck. 1t was a rare spe-
cies, or Uicus snGkigG, thought hereto
fore to be an extinct species. Our
readers can place the largest credit to
this account, as we gained our informa-
ton from one of the passengers who
saw the snake die and afterwards meas
ured it. Mr.. Eli Perkins is the passen-

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

The London Times of the 10Th saws that
the latest phase of the difference between
Russia and England seems to be that Russia,
while admitting the right of the Powers to
discuss all points of the treaty,
declines to be ultimately bound
by decision of the majority of
the Powers. A well-informed st. Peters,
burg correspondent states Russia will not
allow interference with points concerning
the war indemnity, Armenia and Bessara-
bia.
Advices from Tifiis state the typhus is
raging among the Russian troops in Asia.
Generals Melikoff, Solowieff and Schelkoff-
nlkoff are reported to have died. 1t is be-
lleved that more men have been lost by sick
ness since the cessation of arms than on the
battlefield during the war.
A Berlin paper prints St. Peters,

According to the treaty of San Stefano,
the evacuation of European Turkey, except
Bulgaria, must be completed in three months
Russian troops may embark in the Black Sea

possibility, Of having portion of her troops
always around Constantinople until final
settlement is signed.
Suleiman Pasha has turned up alive
and well at Constantinople, and will stand
trial for conspiracy. 1t was rumored that
he had been drowned.
A London special of the 29d says
The feeling of irritation between the British
and Russian people is increasing, and the
opinion is generally expressed throughout
Europe that prospects for the meeting of
the Congress have been largely diminished
during the past three days. A St. Peters,
burg correspondent telegraphs that
Russia has sent or is about to send
formal request for the withdrawal of the
British fleet from the Sea of Marmora. Of
course compliance with this demand is not
expected, and if it should be made it can
only increase the present feeling of distrust
and pave the way for more complications
or perhaps war. There seems to be
no immediate probability that either
nation will retire from its position relative
to the submission of the treaty to the Con-

The RightfuI King of England.

1t is curious fact, and one that is
not generally known, that King Victor
Emanuel was, by the strict law of sue
cession, the rightful King of England.
He was descended in direct line from
Charles 1. The youngest daughter of
that unhappy monarch, the Princess
Henrietta Maria, married CASTOR dor
leans, the brother of Louis XIV. She
died leaving two daughters. The eldest
became Queen of Spain, and died child
less. The younger married the heir to
the house of Savoy, and was the ances-
tress of the late King of Italy. After
the revolution of 1858, when the right
to succession to the British throne was
settled by act of Parliament, the house
of Savoy was excluded on account of the
Catholic religion professed by it's mem
bers. The house of Hanover, of which
several removes farther from the direct
succession, deriving, as it did, its claims
from James l., through Queen Eliza
beth, of Bohemia, and her daughter, the
Electress Sophia. A striking COM
mentary on the consequences of human
actions is afforded by the story of royal
inheritance. When Charles L. espcused
Catholic Princess he could scarcely
have imagined that by this act he was
excluding his direct descendants from
the throne of their fathers; and still less
could his Queen have foreSeen that any
descendant of her favoritc child, so care
fully trained by her in the tenets of her
own religion, should ever overthrow the
temporal power of the Pope, and be
himself installed upon the throne

THERE is one rather absurd thing
about postal cards that seems not to be
generally known, says the Detroit Free
Press. A good writer, who gets things
down fine, can put several thousand
words on a card, and the cost is a cent,
but if he pastes a printed slip contain.
ing a single word on the card the ex-
pense is six cents; one, paid for the
card, and the other five collected from
the card receiver, yet if words are print
ed on the card itself it is all right. If a
person pastes printed slip on a card,
the size of a postal card, and puts the
card and slip in an open envelope, the
Government will carry card, slip and
envelope for a cent, yet it charges six
cents for carrying post card and slip,
without the envelope! Therefore, if
you have occasion to paste d printed
paragraph on post card, put it in an
envelope and the additional weight will
be carried four cents cheaper than the
card alone goes. 1t looks ridiculous to
carry five thousand or more words in an
envelope for cent and then charge six
cents for carrying half dozen words
on card without the envelope.

SECRETARY SHERMAN appeared be-
fore the Senate Committee on Finance,
on the 18th, and gave his reasons for
opposing the repeal of the Specie
resumption act. The questions discuss
ed related to the practicability of specie
payments, the effect of the Silver
bill on resumption, and whether the
bill assisted or retarded resumption,
the amount of gold and silver in
the Treasury and the country,
and cognate questions. Members
made inquiries, and the Secretary re-
piled, taking the ground that the re-
monetization of silver was an aid to re-
sumption. The Silver bill did some
good and some harm. One way in
which it was harmful was in the return
of bonds from abroad, but it pro-
duced good by increasing foreign
confidence in our bonds, by
reason of the fact that our own
people took them up in large quantities.
He stated tn at the resumption of specie
payments could not be permanently
maintained without retaining the legal
tender function for abou $500, ,OOO. 900
of United States notes-in other words,
that legal-tender notes, after reaching
par, should be paid out again for Gov
ernment disbursements.

CURRENT TOPICS.

THE Louisiana Supreme Court, ,on the
18th, in the case of the State vs. Thom-
as G. Anderson, convicted in the Supe-
rior Criminal Court for publishing as
true forged and counterfeit election re-
turns from the parish of Vernon, order
ed that the verdict of the Jury be set
aside and reversed and the prisoner dis
charged from custody. The Court held
that ' in order to be forgery an instru-
ment which it is alleged is falsified
must, if true, be legally capable OF com
mitting a fraud. Nowhere in law is a
consolidated return required as dec
laration of the result, and its alteration
or modification can in no way affect
election. 1t is the essence of this
crime that it should be committed by a
public officer, and on document which
would change the result of election.
This was not done" This decision of
the Supreme Court virtually ends the
prosecution of members of the Return
ing Board.
