CHARMED BY A SNAKE.-At the
plantation of Mr.. Turner, near Lake
City, Fla, q most singular scene oc-
CURED, the charming of a thirteen
foot alligator by a rattlesnale. The
snake first saw the alligator, and
with his rattle attracted the latter's
attention. Then began the charming
process, which lasted fully half an
hour. The alligator at first turned
his head once or twice, but
wss Immediately called to order by
the rattles of the snake. Toward the
end of the half hour, with fixed eyes
the alligator moved slowly toward
his terrible enemy until within strik-
ing distance, when the snake curled
himself more eompactly, and with
all the strength he could muster
struck the alligator. For a moment
the alligator shook TREMENDOUSLY, and
then, as if by magic, made a semi
circling back ward movementpeculiar
to the species, and brought his tail
down upon the snake with fatal
effect. Our informant then despatch-
ed the alligator, and found that the
shake had missed his mark. The
snake measured six-feet, and had
nine rattles and one button. .-LQke

Hard TO Digest

At certain boarding house in this city
is young man whose occupation is the
cart preservative," and whose labors
occupy him during those hours when
the majority of mankind is asleep.
OF course he gets hungry, and is accus-
toned to get lunch when he starts out
for his nightly toll. This lunch is done
mp in a paper and placed ON table in
the hall of the boarding house, from
which the young man takes it when he
goes out. One evening this week as he
went out, he saw two bundles lying
upon the table and unthinkingly took
the one nearest and carried it away.
About midnight that unfailing monitor,
an empty stomach, warned him that
lunch time had arrived, and with high
hopes and keen appetite he took out
his bundle and opened it, but was struck
all aback to find instead of his coveted
food small package of neatly folded
handkerchiefs, which had been placed
upon the table by the laundryman for
one of the other boarders. Language
fails to do justice to the denouement, and

Mining Fish Out of the lee.

The Carson New Appeal has the
following: In the general freeze which
has converted the lake into a sea of ice,
Emerald bay has been frozen solid. It
is one vast ledge Of ice from the surface
of its transparent waters to the bottom.
More than ever is that beautiful bay
gem of purest ray SERENE" crystalized
as it is and firm set within it's rock
bound shores. From some cause best
known to themselves, the fish, especially
the trout, have fairly swarmed there.
When the great and sudden freezing
came it imprisoned them by hundreds of
tons all over the bay. There they are
fixed, like bee in drop of amber Of
course the fishermen of the Rubicon
and its neighborhood are reaping a rich
and novel harvest. The present abund-
ance of fish in the Carson market is due
to this remarkable occurrence. Monk
says that the bay presents a wonderful
appearance. He says in all truthfulness
that Sailor Jack and some associates
have actually sunk winze in the ice be-
tween the boat landing and Captain
Dicks island, and that by dint of tunnel
ing and sinking in the solid ice they are
actually mining out the imprisoned
trout by the cart-load. Hank says he
has an interest in one of these extra
ordinary "claims," and that he has
every reason to expect prompt and nu-
merous dividends. This class of pheno-
mena occurs only at rare intervals. In
1845, Back Cove, an arm of Casco bay,
was scene of such freezing as this. All
sorts of salt water fish, such as frequent
the more shallow bays and estuaries,
smelt, tom-cod, cells and founders were
frozen in and captured by the million
The tom-cod, when thus frozen, may be
thawed out in cool water and restored tc
life. For this reason this small mem.
Der of the fnny tribe is known as the
frost-fsh."

Breathing Miasma Without Injury.


There is no exaggeration in the statement
that thousands of persons residing from one
years end to another in fever and ague re-
gions on this Continent and elsewhere, breathe
air more or less impregnated with miasma,
without mourning the disease, simply and only
because they are in the habit of using Hos
letters Stomach Bitters az a preventive. 1t
has frequently happened, and the fact has
been amply attested by the parties themselves,
that persons surrounded on all sides by neigh
bors suffering the fortunes Of this sbivering
and burning plague, have enjoyed absolute inn
munity from it, thanks to the protection af-
forded by the Bitters Nor is that standard
anti-febrile cordial less efficacious in remedy
ing than in preventing chills and fever, bilious
remittents, and disorders Of kindred type.
Taken between the paroxysms, it speedily miti.
gates their violence and eventually prevents
their recurrence. These facts, convncingly
established by evidence, appeal with peculiar
force to travellers and sojourners in malarious
districts
