A Snake Attacks a Man in Buggy.

Mr.. Walters and his wife were return
ing to the city, says the Dallas ga
Commercial, in two horse buggy from
trip into the country. About seven
miles from town, on the Mansfield Road,
they passed snake that was lying on
the side of the road, the great size of
which attracted their attention. After
passing the reptile, Mr.. Walters con-
Guided he would turn back and kill it.
He turned the team around, drove back
to point opposite the snake, drew his
pistol and fired at it, but without effect.
The horses, not being used to the report
of firearms, became restless and hard
to control, which caused the attention
of Mr.. Walters to be diverted from the
snake, which ran rapidly TO the buggy,
up the wheels, and on the dashboard
before the occupants were aware of it.
The snake, when it was within foot OF
the occupants of the carriage, coiled the
lower part of its body, threw its neck
into graceful curve, drew back its head,
and was just in the act of launching its
deadly fangs into Mr.. Walters, when he
fired the second shot. This, though
missing, had the effect to cause the
shake to lower itself on the tongue OF
the carriage Mr.. Walters then fired
two more shots, one of which took
effect, and caused the reptile to fall from
the carriage to the ground, and Walters
dispatched it with stone. The reptile
was measIhed, and found to be over six
feet long, and was thicker than man s
wrist.

A PeriIOus Ride.

A late special from Littleton, N. H.,
SAYS: Readers of weather bulletins in
the daily papers seldom stop to realize
the hardships to which agents of the
Signal-service Bureau are exposed at
some of the posts occupied during the
year. The most dangerous for perma-
nent habitation is probably Mount Wash
ington. Yesterday morning Sergt.
Cone and Private Murphy of the Signal
service Corps started from the station to
90 to the foot of the mountain, the Ser
geant having orders to report at Wash
ington for medical treatment. They
took sled on which they proposed to
descend, on the railroad track. After
sliding for nearly a mile without any
apparent danger, at a speed of fifteen
miles an hour over a smooth surface,
and in the face of a stiff breeze, they
came to the flat just above what is Known
as % Jacobs Ladder" one of the sharp
est slopes of the range. Here they rest
ed, it being deemed advisable to tighten
the load by giving up the sled to Sergt.
Cone. He strapped on a light trunk,
and, adjusting the cogs, started on his
downward slide. On going over the
summit of the peak, he was going at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour, but
this increased to forty as he got down
the side, and he was absolutely flying
down the mountain side, when he lost
bis balance and was precipitated into a
snow-bank, distance Of 100 feet from
the trestle-work He struck upon his
head and shoulders, and when found by
Private Murphy, who followed him, he
was APPARENTLY dead. After restoratives
had been administered he recovered,
and was removed to this town, where
his wounds were properly dressed. He
is badly bruised about the shoulders,
head and face, but no internal injuries
are thought to exist.

Genesis of the "ColOradO Giant"

The history of the creation of ''the
Colorado Giant" is published. In the
beginning, man named Hull, at Elk
land, Tioga County, Pa, in February,
1877, nodded a figure out of different
kinds of dust, principally bone, and
baked it in a lime-kiln. 1t is stated that
he spent $4,000 or $4,000, and ex-
hausted his money. Then Barnum saw
that it was good, and came forward and
breathed the breath of life into the en-
terprise, the giant being Immediately
shipped to Colorado, and its age set
back several millions of years By plenary
indulgence. The facts in the case of
the Cardiff pleasantly did not come to
light so quickly, probably because there
was greater curiosity on the part of the
people to know them.

Mr.. EdmundS then moved to amend the
preamble submitted by Mr.. Matthew'S by in
sorting the following: And whereas by pro-
visions of the Coinage Act of 1873, passed on
the 18TH of February of that year, and of re-
vised statutes which took effect on the list
day of December of that year, all provisions
of law authorizing the coinage of such silver
dollar were repealed"
Mr.. Matthews said he would accept that
amendment.
Mr. Thurman hoped his colleague would
not accept it. He was not prepared to say the
law was repealed. The question involved
construction of the statute. There was no
necessity for this amendment. and he hoped
the Senate would stand by the resolution and
preamble as submitted by the Senator from
Ohio.
Mr.. Matthews said if there be any difference
of opinion as to the construction of the law
he would not accept the amendment.
The amendment of Mr.. Edmunds was re-
jected-yeas 20, nays 81.
The question then required upon the pre-
amble as submitted by Mr.. Matthews on the
9Th of December, and it vas adopted without
amendment-yeas AZ, nays 20.
When the above vote was taken, Mr. With
ers, who would have voted in the affirmative,
was paired with Mr.. Randolph, who would
have voted in the negative, and Mr.. McPher-
son, who would have voted in the negative,
was out of the chamber temporarily when his
name was called.
The preamble and resolution having been
passed, Mr.. Allison moved the Senate take up
the House bill to authorize free coinage of
the standard silver dollar, and to restore its
| legal character.
ice-President.-That comes up by prior
order.
Mr.. Morrill, then took the floor to address
the Senate on the Silver bill, but yielded to
Mr. Ferry and on his motion the Senate went
/ into executive session, and when the doors
opened the Senate adjourned until Monday.
