A Snake Charmer.

Some new features have Just been
added to the attractions at tine Royal
Aquarium ut Westminster, which are
likely to prove interesting to the general
public, and peculiarly SD to naturalists.
One is an exhibition of the extraordinary
power which female Abyssinian snake
charmer possesses over reptiles OF the boa
constructor class. We had an opportuni-
ty of witnessing this performance, which
is unquestionably of most singular and
astonishing character. The snake charm
ing of Snalla differs in some respects
from that Of the Indian snake charmers
who were brought to Europe by Dr.
Lynn. In the latter case the venOmous
cobra was shown to be capable Of con-
troll; but in the present instance the SER
penis belong to the non-venomous class,
which kill their prey by compression.
Snalla has brought with her three small
anacOndas and boa CONSTRUCTOR; and
Mr.. Farini, to whose enterprise we owe
this remarkable exhibition, has added
splendid python, from the southwest
coast Of Africa. Snalla is apparently
about twenty eight or thirty years of age,
Of light brown color, with somewhat
pleasing features, and 1.-the and grace
full form. Her power over the serpents
seems to be complete. The anacOndas
(which must not he confuunded with the
gigantic South American water snake,
though they are OF the same genus) ALLOW
her To treat them with the utmost f.mil.
i.rity. During the Performance she

A Ride in q Sedan Chair.

The streets of . Chinese city are "heav-
emily" in name. DR.. Field, of the Esangs-
list, rode twelve miles in Hong Kong
through the streets of "Benevolence,"
Love-" "Peace," "Bright Cloud" and
Longevity" of early bestowed Bless
iugs," of zone Hundred Grandsons," of
"One Thousand Grandsons," of "Five
Happinesses," and of "Refreshing Breez-
es;" of Accumulated Blessings," Of
:Ninefold Brightness" and Of "The
Market of Golden Profits" His eQui-
page was q "chair," carried by coolie
bearers, and he thus describes the ride:
1.-THE motion was not unpleasant,
though they swung US along at q good
round pace, shouting to the people to
get out of the way, who forthwith parted
right and left, as if some high mandarin
were coming. The streets we're narrow
and densely crowded. Through such a
mass it was no small effort to force
our way, which was effected only by
our bearers keeping up constant
cry Qike that Of the gondoliers in
Venice, when turning corner in the
csnals-a signal of warning to any ap.
preaching in the opposite direction). l
could but admire the good-nsture of
the people who yielded SO readily. II
we were thus to push through q crowd
in New York, and the policemen were to
shout to the "Bowery boys" to get out
of the way, Ne might receive blessing
in reply that would not be at all agree
able But the Chinsmen took il a. matter
Of course. and turned aside respectfully
to give us passage, only staring mildly
with their almoDd-eyes, to sc what great
yser.onages were these that came along

which, with diameter of two inches,
and following the direction of the equa-

tobacco is formed into tablets similar
to the chocolate tablets, and which, in.
deed, is the shape which the chewing

A local ILLUSTRATION of the evil effect

in quantity and freshness is seen in a
recent accident which befel boy named

the real facts of the case are said to be as
follows: La More and three boy friends
were out walking in field two or three
weeks ago, when it was suggested by one
of the party that they have a game of
cards. It appears that the boys had been
lately reading " The Blear-Eyed Blinker
of the Tuscaloosa Range or g The
Bloody Handed Demon Of Dead Mans
Gulch, or 6 The One-Eyed Screamer Of
Assassination Hollow" or & Slippery

oath had been assumed by each boy that

business was absolutely necessary; it was
explained by one who was posted upon
the customs of California gamblers and
border rutfians and so the game was
played according to the book" each i'm
personated adventurer sharply watching
the motion of his opponents. La More
was the winner, and one of the losers
slowly rising and pointing the revolver
at the formers head, said with all the
tragic earnestness betting the occasion,
Buckley, you cheated, curse YOU" The
boy forgot that the revolver was cooked,
pressed his finger too hard on the trigger,
a sharp report followed and La More fell
to the ground with the side of his head
furrowed by the bullet. One inch nearer

the manager.
And seeing the editor looked skeptical
he continued: at will interest grea,

The visiting brother asked what notice
and the editor wrote and handed him the

The Dance of Death.

December opened the winters account
with a CHASTITY oyerplus of murders and
suicides; and the daily papers still TEEN
with them until they are like that series
of black sketches in which Holbein gave
us the progress of Deaths jubilee Now
it is a merchant in New York or Balti-
more, who loses "a great fortune, and puts
an end to his life, leaving wife and
helpless children to fight the battle alone.
! Now it is a learned scholar, with but half
a dozen pennies in his pocket, who locks
| the door of his garnet and makes q sud-
den end Of it. Again, it is a mechanic,
out of work, who shoots his wife and him
self, after drowning the children Our
readers will notice the exceptionally
| large number Of murders also-murders
by men maddened by drink and despair.
But in the large majority of cases the
want of money lies at the bottom of all
the trouble.
Now, in almost every instance these
men have been young Or middle aged,
able bodied, possessed Of plenty of
strength, and some craft Of hand or brain
to compel a living from the world. The
plain fact is, no matter what the pathetic
circumstances in each individuals case,
that they lay down and died because they
would not live without money-money
enough to insure o certain amount of ease
and comfort. Common sense, philosophy,
the possession of great knowledge could
not reconcile them to the miseries of an
empty pocket. There was woman in
this city last week. who, wearied out with
want and pain, took her little girl in her
arms, and tried to persuade the child that
it was better to be at rest than to struggle
any longer. She drank the poison, but
whether she found rest only God knows.
We can have patience and pity for such
a tried soul, bounded by poverty, when
it is in a womap's body. She had not
strength or knowledge to fight the wolf
back any more from the door; and there
was her child in her arms, hungry and
naked. 1t is hardly any wonder that she
refused upon the rack of the tough world
to stretch life out longer.
But a mans body and endurance ought
to be different thing. Not one OF the
twenty suicides Of last week but had one
or dozen means of keeping off want I'M
til better times came. All that was lack
ing was courage to bear poverty. The
truth ought to be told about such cases.
Reporters delight in netting them forth
with all the pomp Of lkthos. It is their
trade, just as the unAertaker finds his
nodding plumes. SUICIDE is just now a

sentimental fashion, almost as much as in
the days of Werther. The ugly truth
aboutit is, that icide for lack of money
is but Sinking cowardice. from the
meanest of motives. It is worth our
while, too, to look a little deeper into
this matter. Is the American losing al
together, like the Frenchman, that nerv-
Gus stamina which enables the English
man or Scotchman to bear hunger with
lmpregnable cheerfulness? or have we
really made money our god to such an ex-
tent that we cannot live without it, and
without good deal OF it, too2-N. 7.
