In the COils ef u Serpent.
Hondon TplagrlDh-

One of the most intrepid wild beast
tanners in Europe, Karolyi, Magyar, OF
colossal stature and extraordinary physi-
cal strength, has recently fallen victim
to a dread contingency of his perilous
profession. He was performing, before a
crowded audience in Madrid the other
day, one of his most sensational feats,
which consisted in allowing huge boa
constructor, over twenty feet in length, to
enfold his body in its tremendous coils,
when suddenly piercing cry escaped
him, which was greeted by the public
with a round Of applause, under the sup
position that its utterance constituted a
part of the performance!
1t proved, however, to be the outcome
of strong mans death agony. The
gigantic snake had tightened it's coils,
and crushed poor Karolyi's life out Of
him with one terrific squeeze. As his
head fell back and his eyes became fixed
in CLASSY stare, the plaudits died away,
and were succeeded by the stiffness OF
utter CONSERVATION. The snake and its
lifeless victim swayed for a second OF
two of inexpressible horror, and then
toppled over on the boards of the stage;
but the boa did not in the least relax bis
grip upon the corpse, which re.

A terror remembered is sometimes
more dangerous than the same terror
actually experienced. One Sunday, a
fortnight ago, as young woman was
crossing the Rue st. Honore, Paris, she
was suddenly knocked down by high
wheeled cart, known as spider. Her
peril was imminent, but she retained her
self possession. and relieved the anxiety
of the spectators by regaining her feet
and reaching the sidewalk very little the
worse for her mishap. As soon as she
reached home she began to relate the in
cident to her friends, and while doing SO
was seized with o violent attack of
nervous agitation, and sank fainting to
the floor. She never spoke again.
