trial as illustrated by the in our justice courts
last week. The amount in controversy was 81
TO adjust the matter it required the drawing of
50 jurors, the administering Of nearly 100 oaths,

A PHESoMENoN.-Perhaps one of the most re-
markabe occurrences known to medical science
has just been reported from Chesapeake City
About year ago, during the construction of a
house near that town, little George Norris, boy
now seven years of age, in company with some
other children, was playing near a spring at the
site of the house. George drank from the spring,
and in doing so, it is supposed, swallowed a small
water snake. Nothing was known of the occur
renee at the time, and until some months ago the
child suffered from unusual sickness. About
six weeks ago he was affected with shOrtness of
breath and tupentine was applied to his throat to
give him relief. DIR. Wallace was called in to at
tend the little sufferer, and believing him to be
suffering from worms, prescribed the proper RENE
dies. After several doses of the medicine had
been taken, the child voided a dead snake nine
and ahalf inches long. At first it was not believed
to be true that snake had actually lived and
grown in the boys stomach for year, but the
fullest investigation proved that it was a we'll
established fact Little Norris soon recovered and
is now enjoying good health. The snake is pre-
served in alcohol at the drug store of Mr.. g.. s.
WoOlley, in Chesapeake City, where it may be seen.

re- The Sun says movement has been started
in Baltimore by number of persons for reor-
ganization of the Republican party in Maryland.
The call for preliminary meeting, held last week,
was signed by Messrs. Henry Stockbridge, Geo
c. Maund, Orlando F. Bump. C. Irving Dirty and
one or two others. This meeting was private, but
it is stated a committee was appointed to ask Mr..
Socket Matthews, chairman of the State Central
Committee, to call the Committee together for its
reorganization. 1t is also said that it is in con-
temptation to have a general meeting in Balti-
more of Republicans from different parts of the
State in December to further the movement.

IRoN RAILROAD SLEEPERs.-Inv view of the plain
fact that existing establishments for the produc-
ton of iron and steel have capacity far in ex-
of any probable demand likely to arise in the
natural course of trade, the London Iron pro
poses new policy for the iron trade. The bust
ness of iron masters, it argues, should be not
merely to make iron, but to discover and devise
ways for using iron and mention is made of
few instances in which well directed effort to
extend the use of iron and steel could not fail of
success.
"Without dwelling on the far too limited en-
plOyment of these metals in bridge and ship build
ing purposes-for which their superiority is I'M
contested-one cannot fail to be struck with the
great field offered by the permanent way of rail-
ways for the disposal of our surplus stocks. Mr..
Woods estimate that some forty millions Of rail-
way sleepers have to be replaced annually at a
cost of over six millions sterling is probably not
far from correct. That a permanent way con-
struced wholly of iron or steel is at least equal if
not superior, to the existing compound system,
has been demonstrated in India, Belgium and
Germany. With an economical model of protect
ing the metallic 7seepeTs from corroson, the ad-
vantages would be still greater. Without implic-
lily adopting Mr.. Woods estimate that the rail-
ways would three millions year by the
change it cannot be doubted that it would be q
highly beneficial one both for the companies and
ironmasters. 1t is, moreover, change which
must inevitably come sooner or later since wood
is becoming yearly dearer and dearer while there
is hardly civilized country which is not suffering
in deterioration of climate-from the destruc
ton of timber, of which the demands of railway
engineers prime cause. 1t will not be much
longer endured that the preservation of certain
proportion of forest land, which is demanded
alike in the interests of hygiene and agriculture,
should be rendered impossible because the con-
sentative instinct of engineers prefers continuing
to use timber for purposes for which it is less well
suited than iron. The enormous destruction of
young trees for the supply of pit props might also
be very materially lessened by the use of removal
bic iron pillars in the many situations in which
they can be successfully employed in mining

10 The New Orleans correspondent of the
Louisville Journal says the generous contribution
of clothing sent from the North for the yellow few
er sufferers of that city awakened deep feeling
of gratitude. Mr.. Frank Roder, Chairman of the
Executive Committee, completely overcome with
emotion, exclaimed: "Let any man use the word
Yankee again in my presence and 1 will insult
him. Were the people of the North our own flesh
and blood they could not be more our brothers."

THE FARMERs ENEMIEs.-The farmer is COM
PEELED to wage an unending war against thous-
and enemies but of them all none is stronger or
more difficult to overcome than the many noyiOus
weeds that are continually springing up to vex
and trouble him. He often wonders how, with all
his and continual effort, they will persist in
putting in an appearance with as much regularity
as the seasons themselves If, however, he were
to investigate the subject scientifically, he would
find cause to change his views ON this part of the
question, and feel inclined to wonder how he has
succeeded in keeping them under oven partial con-
troll. Unfortunately for him, noxiOus weeds have
extraordinary capacity to reproduce their kinds
Take the common dandeliOn for instance; investi-
CATION has proven that the seeds which single
plant will mature in season are fully two thous-
and That nuisance of the farm, the ox-eyed
daisy scatters no less than thirteen thousand, bur-
dock twenty four thousand and mayweed nearly
twice as many. Experiments that were lately
tried with the thorn apple proved its enormous
fecundity; although the plant under observation
was destroyed by an accident in September 1t had
already yielded the enormous sum of 80, 600 seeds.
Professor Prentiss, of Cornell University relates
an instance where lot of tobacco seed was allowed
to ripen and fall on the ground. For ten years
thereafter tobacco plants regularly came up each
spring. all the result of the seed dropped from. that
plant. In the light of these facts the farmer may
rather congratulate himself that he is at all able
make Roadway against these enemies. In addition
to their extraordinary productiveness they possess
an amount Of vitality that seems to bid defiance to
his efforts at destruction. While his crop plants
require unremitting care, the weeds that crowd
them resist almost all his attempts towards their
