A MONsTROUs CRIME,

A special despatch from Wheeling, W.
Va, dated July 18th, says; About week
ago travelling clergyman named Jacob
shiltner stopped at the house of Edward
Baldwin, in Webster county, West Virginia
and asked permission to stay all night. As
there were but poor accommodations for
guests he was allowed to sleep with daugh-
ter of the host, only six years old. He left
early next morning and It was found that
he had horribly outraged the child and
had threatened to kill her If she told of his
crime. A warrant was issued for his arrest,
and he was pursued by the authorities into
. wilderness fully fifty miles from house.
he was captured, and after an attempt to
lynch him was placed in jail to await bis
trial In September. The proof Of his guilt
10 conclusive. he Is from Kentucky and be-

A BOA AT THE zoo SWALLOWS A BLANKET
AS REMEDY FOR DECLINING HEALTH.
From the Philadelphia Times.]
Speaking Of snakes, yesterday, Superb
tendent Brown, of the Geological Garden,
said that he could tell snake story and not
q second-handed one either. About year
ago one of the large reptiles In the collec-
tien took sick and seemed to be going into
a decline. Nothing that they could give
him appeared to do him good and from loss
of appetite and sleepliness the snake became
a mere wreck of his former self. A large
blanket had been placed in the serpent's cell
for him to sleep upon. One morning the
keeper found that the blanket had disap-
peared. Search was made throughout the
cage, but without success. At the same
time the snakes body had swelled to the
thickness of q good sized sapling. He had
swallowed the blanket. But the blanket
wouldn't digest, and the snake became
sicker than before. In this manner he loled
around like wan dyspeptic for over four
weeks. Finally the blanket was discharged
by natural causes. Immediately the snake
began TO improve. The swelling in his body
gradually dwindled down and be gradually
grew larger and fatter than before, till the
box became too small to hold him. The
Keepers then removed him to larger cage.
de ate like gormand, and at times found
room Tor two or three times the customary
quantity of food. The blanket acted az
sort OF medicine upon his stomach and
cleaned him out entirely. Nov he is fifteen
feet long, eighteen inches in circumference,
ana is the healthiest boa constructor of the
lot A change Of color was the only visible
enect on the blanket. Under the microscope
it showed that it had become a little worn
6y being rubbed in the animals stomach.
IL came out undlgested and it was carefully
packed away in the superintendent private
