a Reuter- dispatch of February 23d
says the draft of the peace conditions
contained q stipulation that six of the
principal Turkish iron clads should be
ceded 10 Russia on the ground that
otherwise the Porte might sell them
to England. The Sultan objected 20
this stipulation. He stated lac would
prefer TO destroy the vessels, and
promised not to transfer them to any
foreign power. TIE incident was ter
minated by the Sultan undertaking
not to sell the irOn-ciads 10 England,
ia consideration Of which Russia
withdrew her demand for their imme-
diate cessiOn. Ii is understood that
the treaty Of peace is on the point of
being signed. 1t is probable the Rus
sian Grand Duke Nicholas will visit

Snake Stories from Maine and Florida.

The inhabitants of Winslow, Me-, on
the banks of the Kennebeck River, are
very much excited over the appearance
in that town of huge snake. a few
days ago Mrs Smiley was walking IN
the woods in the vicinity of her home,
when she saw what she at first supposed
to be large spotted snake of the COM
mon variety, frequently seen in the
fields, but which was really only the
tail of reptile which, she says, must
have been 8 or 10 feet in length. The
snake was coiled around tree, and his
head, with distended jaws and forked
tongue darting in a frightful manner,
was projecting over a limb above Mrs.
Smiley's head. The lady ran for life.
A neighbours house was but short dis
tance away, and, rushing in, Mrs. Sml-
ley fell fainting upon the floor. She
SAYS the snake followed her nearly to
the house. The Sunday following
(Which was last Sunday week., as
son of Deacon Palmer was walking to
church his attention was attracted to
the stone wall beside the road, and on
the top of the wall, baskipg in the sun
lay 2 monster snake and two smaller
ones. Mr.. Palmer says the largest one
must have been 10 feet in length. de
ran back short distance to procure
assistance, but when he returned the
reptile had disappeared. Several par
ties have been GU. hunting the snake Tor
the past few days, but without success.

Brevard County, Fla, that while driy-

county, his oxen SHE'D and ran out OF
the road. Seeing something raise its
head and a movement in the grass, Mr..
Long, after stopping his team, went
back to see what it was. Upon ap-
preaching the object he heard a great
rustling and rattling, which convinced
him that it was a rattlesnake, but ne

to and high grass, until it threw ltseii
into coil and stood nearly as high as
himself He was almost dumbfounded
at seeing such monster and hastily re-
treated, but soon summoning up cour-
age, he advanced near enough to be
within reach of the reptile with his long
cow-whip, which he knew how to han
die. With this weapon he opened the
conflict, which lasted Is minutes, Mr..
Long keeping out of reach of the snake,
but still near enough to strike it with his
cow-whip, which was about 1S feet long:
Finally Mr.. Long began to feel sick and
weak from the excitement, as well as
from the musk emitted from the snake,
and, putting in two. or three RAPID
strokes with his whip, he retreated to-
ward his cart, but tainted before he
reached it. Upon coming to his senses
again, he found that he had killed the
snake. Mr.. Long had no means OF
measuring its length but by his cow
whip, which was Is feet long, and the
snake lacked about two and half feet
of being as long as the whip. 1t had
SO rattles and a button. He says that
it was as large around as a big blue
bucket" Mr.. Long is one of the most
reliable mea of his section.-FOrt Redo

A Prodigy of Learning.

England has lately lost a prodigy OF
learning in the person of the Rev.
William Linwood, aged 81, whom
DIR. Kennedy, head master of shrews-
bury School, himself a famous scholar,
dubbed the best scholar of his age in
England, and probably one of the best
in the world. When he graduated first
class in classics at Oxford, ,on being ask
ed what books he brought up for exam
ination, he replied, :" The whole range
of Greek and Latin literature" and his
pre-eminence was so conspicuous that
the examiners were reported at the time
to have considered whether, departing
from the rule, they ought not to place
his name, conspicuous and alone, at the
head of the first class. Yet this man
never got beyond a curacy.he did not
take priestly orders-and for 81 years
his life was passed in seclusion, devoted
to preparing works in the classics, and
latterly to the study of astrology.

remain here long before the fact of his
sanity was established, and two or three
weeks ago he was released. From that
time until he shot himself Friday on the
steps of his wife's house and his former
home in Somerville, his comparatively
cheerful spirits induced his friends to
believe that the weight of his trouble
was lightened. He use1 to say that, If
