4 Snake Story.

SHoHoLA FALLS, Pike county Pa. g,
June 19-Jennie ::Wurtz, a German
girl Of New York city, who is sum-
mering at Shohola Greek, and her
cousin, Miss Wolf, went trouting in
the Shohola on Tuesday last. About
four o'clock in the afternoon, having
caught nearly one hundred trout, they
started for home by the way of "Ball
Hill" place noted for its rattlesnakes.
After they had walked about half
mile, Miss Wurtz stepped upon an OBJ.
ject that moved and threw her down.
Regaining her feet she saw two large
rattlesnakes crawling into the rock and
underbrush. She had stepped upon
one of them. With stick that she
had seized. Miss Wo,f cut one rattle
snake in two. Miss Wurtz struck at an
other, but missed it. The snake that
Miss Wolf killed was FIVE aud half
feet in length and had thirty-two
rattles. The girls took the rattles and
continued on their way to the sum
init of "Ball Hill." Here while
resting they heard frequent and dis
tinct rattles from the foot of the hill
They walked to the edge of the sum-
nit and saw that the rocks beneath
them were covered with rattlesnakes.
Gathering together pile of stones
they threw them in quick succession
among the reptiles. Ten minutes
later not live snake was visible.
The girls descended, and found ninety
eight dead snakes, measuring from
two and half to six feet in length,
any from three to thirty seven rattles.
Tying a string to two of the largest,
and dragging them along, the girls
reached home at about dusk. On the
following morning two neighbors
brought from the den the remaining
ninety-six.-Nev York San.

The Late Queen Of Spain.

So far as the political part of the
constitution is concerned, the King
had said manfully enough when that
instrument was drafted, "that is en-
tirely in the hands of the nation, but
in anything affecting my marriage [
can admit no interference. From
childhood he had called his cousin his
little wife," to obtain his own oppor-
tunity for a declaration he had run
away in the most delightful manner
with her in state carriage. leaving a
brbed coachman, surprised duehna,
and scared and scandalized family
circle behind the door. ''Your father
in-law is the most unpopular man in
Spain" one Councillor had said. Bu;
am not marrying him." returned the
King wittiogly 1t was not long ere
all difficulties we're surmounted. The
brides wealthy father bought off the
Princess of Austria's opposition by
paying her debts; Queen Isabella
threatened scene, but was packed
over the Pyrenees by Canovas oel
Castillo as if she had been Marie de
Medici and he kichelieu. When she
went to the Pope to complain
his only reply to her prayer that
he would refuse the dispensation
permitting the cousins to marry was
to send them his blessing, two con-
secrated rings and diamond rose.
During the brief interval preceding
their wedding the royal lovers whis-
pered to each other through the tele
phone. Thus to CASTLE and Leon
Edison gave a new and fairer world.
On the 23d of January last, in the his
torcal little Church of the Virgin Of
Atocha, they were married by Cardi-
nal Benavidesy Navarette iu the pre-
sence of splendid and distinguished
audience, and with ceremonies and
popular rejoicings described at length
in the press then, which recalled the
brightest historic days of heroic Spain.
A correspondent who saw them few
days afterwards described them as un-
affectedly and unconcealedly happy,
and said that at every pause the young
Kings eyes turned lovingly and proud
ly upon his pretty and blushing young
Queen-wife, as he called her. This
was the last glimpse which the news
paper-readiug public has had of the
lovely young girl whose death, in the
month of roses, is announced.

Papal Nuncio to the Court of Bavaria
has been instructed to open negotia.
tions with the Berlin Government.

In 1876 the Democrats made great
parade over the claim that the Dem
ocratic House had made saving of
$50, 100000 on appropriations. The
Republicans at the time insisted that
the reduction was onl y temporary. as
it was effected not by actual economy
but by withholding for a time from
some of the departments appropria
tons which it would be necessary
eventually to great. Congressman
Foster, eff Ohio shows how completely
the predictions of the Republ cans have
been realized, The appropriations
made by the present Congress are S12,
1000 in excess of those made for
the two preceding years, without TAX
ing into consideration the deficiency
bills. Including those. the excess ov-
er 1876 will be S25,0O0,OOO. The
whole reduction Which Mr.. Randall
claimed to have effected was between
$50, 100000 and S3O,O0O,OOO. In
contrast with these figures it is shown
that, in the last year of Republican
House, there was reduction of SIG,
100000 on the year before, and in
the last two years of SIS, 100000.

TERRIBLE CArAsTRopHE.-A
frightful accident took place last Fri
day, on the farm of John Leonard,
living near Fuckers Prairie, in Frank.
lin county Mo. During heavy storm
the house, it is supposed, was struck
by lightning, and the flames spread so
rapidly that the escape Of five chill
dren sleeping in the attic was cut off,
The father, mother and married
daughter succeeded in escaping, but
during the efforts of the father to
save his children he was so seriously
turned that, at last accounts, he was
dying. The eldest child, a boy about
16, threw himself out of the attic win
dow, but, horrible to relate fell upon
the sharp pickets of the fence, and
when the mother and sister lifted him
from his fixed position be was dead.
The four corpses of the other children
aere found in the morning charred to
