The Abbe,s Surprise.

A T THE time the Abhe Cochin liv-
n ed In the seminary of st. SuIpice,
he was allowed double louis o
month for pocket money by his family,
which he spent in charity. Among the
recipients of his aims was a poor mother
of u family, whom the Abbe found on
one holiday at the gate of the seminary,
where she was waiting his coming out
to beseech his charity, on account OF
some additional af1liction.
1t was the end of the month, and the
Abbe told her she must wait few days
longer, for the good reason that he had
no money. The woman upon this urged
the impossibility of the thing, and how
ever little he could give her it would
save her life the Abbs looking abasbed,
protested that he did not possess one
farthing The woman then seemed
seized with fit of inspiration she ex-
claimed that he was "a Saint, and that 1t
was in his power to work miracles, and
If he would only take the trouble TO
feel in his pocket she was quite assured
that he would find something that he
did not expect, and which would suffice
for her immediate wants.
For the sake of peace and quiet, the
holy Able was going to turn his pocket
inside out, but in fumbling what should
he find, to his great surprise, but three
franc pieces He gave them, Instantly,
to the wretched woman !. and then, full
of joyful humility, ran to throw him
self on his knees in the chapel of the
Virgin of st. Sulpice, where he spent
the remainder of the day in thanksgiv.
ing for the miraculous gift that had been
bestowed on him, and entertained q
holy fear of the power of which he was
the depository.
On his entering the seminary he heard
ali exclamation of ''There he is There
he is !"
LET us humble ourselves" said he; /;
''let us humble ourselves"
upon my word Cochin, you have
put ne terribly out!" cried the compan-
ion who shared his cell with him, and
who was waiting for him at the door,
"you have left your small clothes here
| instead of mine in which had eighteen
| francsl"

A Hill Full Of Serpents.

Mr.. ]. III. Beeson, the well-knowD
Central Branch contractor, gave the
Patriot pleasant call a few mornings
since, and from him we learn the par
ticulars of the most remarkable snake
story we have heard. In the extension
of the Central Branch road from Beloit
to COwker City the line passes through
the town of Glen Elder. A short dis
tance from Glen Elder, on the Solomon
river, is steep and rocky bluff, about
fifty-five feet high, large portion OF
which had to be blasted away to make
room for the road bed. A few days ago,
while the excavation was in progress, q
blast of nitro glycerine caps and giant
powder tore off an unusually large part
of the bluff, and down the declivity
there came writhing and rolling bunch
of snakes, which Mr.. Beeson assures us
was almost as large as barrel. They
were of different varieties, rattlesnakes
predominating, with racers, garters, etc.
When first disturbed from their warm
bed, they were active and dangerous,
were soon comparatively harmless, aud
were killed by the men without much
trouble, or covered up in the dump by
earth and stone. But this is very small
portion of the story. Every day and
every blast, since the first batch appear
ed, has brought another huge bundle Of
reptiles. Every hour moving, writh-
ing lump comes rolling down the hills,
and what escape the laborer's pick and
shovel, crawl off to get covered up in
the dump. Thousands of them have
been unearthed and killed, and every
blast brings thousands more, far out
rivalling in number the famous snake
den OF Concordia. - Atchison (Kap.)

Anecdote of Webster.

I AWYERS sometimes resort to ques-
- tionable methods in order to de-
stroy the effect which the testimony of
q truthful and intelligent witness has
upon a jury. MIR. Webster once tried,
in an ungallant way, to break down a
woman's evidence, and he met more
than his match. 1t was In the some
what famous case of Mrs. Bogden's will,
which was tried in the Supreme Court.
Webster appeared as counsellor for the
appellent.
Mrs. Greenough, wife of Rev. Will
liam Greenough, late of West Newton,
tall, straight, t,queenly looking woman
with keen black eye, woman of
great selfpossession and decision of
character, was called to the stand,
witness on the opposite side from Mr..
Webster.
Webster, at glance, had the sagacity
to foresee that her testimony, If it was
Of any importance, would have great
weight with the court and jury. He,
therefore, resolved, if possible, to break
her down. And when she answered to
the first question put to her, ~ be-
lieve," Webster roared out; 1--WE don't
want to hear what you believe, we want
to hear what you knowl''
Mrs. Greenough replied, "That is just
what was about to say, sir" and went
on with her testimony.
Notwithstanding his repeated efforts
to disconcert her, she pursued the even
tenor of her way, until Webster, becom-
ing fearful of the result, arose, apparent
ly in great agitation, and drawing out
his large snuff box thrust his thumb and
finger to the very bottom, and carrying
the deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it
up with gusto. Then extracting from
his pocket very large handkerchief,
which flowed to his feet as he brought it
to the front, he blew his nose with re-
port that rang distant and loud through
the crowded hall.
He then said-''Mrs. Greenough, was
Mrs. Bogden neat woman ?"
" i cannot give you full information
as to that. She had one very dirty
trick"
"What was that, ma'am 2"
''She took snuffn

Then Charley began. He told the old
doctor all that he had told the landlord,
and much more. How he had many
such cases. He knew the doctor felt
his age, and he cleverly used those
symptoms, twisting them about, show
ing that 1t was not age, and In two
hours time the doctor was so thorough
ly frightened that he believed his end
liable to occur at any moment, aud be-
sought" DR.. Holmes" to do whatever
lay In his power to give him relief. DIR.
Holmes promised to think it over dur
in the night DIR. Johns would not
hear of his returning to the inn, but in
sisted upon his taking bed at his own
house.
Charley, with grave face, finally
consented but before going to bed he
advised the doctor to take ''an anodyne,"
assured him that there was no immed-
late danger, and cleverly managed to
slip an emetic into the doctors glass of
rum-and water, which he always took
before retiring, and had done so with
great regularity for thirty years.
About the middle of the night the old
housekeeper called Charley up in great
haste and terror. DR.. Johns was very
sick, and had asked her to call DIR.
Holmes as soon as possible. Charley
went into the bedroom aud found him
tossing around and groaning vt "a great
the disease mentioned by Charley, and
besought him to do what he could
speedily.
Charley made an examination, looked
grave and shook his head.

Johns, family; tell me the worst

" 1t Is bad case, DIR. Johns" said
Charley. g l can do only one thing and
that is a costly one. can give you a
prescription, but it will cost you twenty
pounds. 1 am Obliged to ask that for
it, rs L obtained it under peculiar cir
cumstances. 1t may give you relief. l
have seen it used with very good re-
suits"
"Twenty pounds 7" asked the old
doctor, eagerly. "All right will give
it, sir. What is the prescription? Here
is the money"
Charley wrote on slip of paper, fold
ed it up and handed it to the doctor.
He received 1t eagerly, opened IL with
trembling hands, and by the light of the
bedroom lamp, read:
Don't get the wrong pig by the tail.
| DIR. CHARLES HORTON"
With one bound the doctor was out OF
bed, but DR.. Holmes had vanished.
Charley" said DIR. Johns next day
I'm getting old you must come and
take my practice. Your twenty pounds
will help to give you start"
The doctor says he never got the
wrong pig" but once.

thousand dollars from life annuities
which he had purchased from various
life insurance companies. As the Count
lived to be eighty-four years old this
speculation proved very successful, so
far as he was concerned. Though he
was on good terms with his only SOB,
Nicholas, he could not bear the idea of
having an heir, and desired much to
leave all his vast property in trust for
charitable purposes; but as the French
law would not allow him to do this, he
came short time ago to Geneva, with
the intention Of bequeathing his fortune
to the city, as the Duke of Brunswick
had done. He found, however, that the
Code Napoleon rules also in Geneva, and
there no more than in France can man
make his own will. Then he went to
England, got himself naturalized, and
made will, in which he cut off his son
with shilling, and left all else that he
had to be divided among number of
philanthropic institutions. But, as it
was evident that his end was approach
ing, his friends prevailed upon him to
alter his testamentary dispositions in
favor of his son, who had never given
him cause of offense. Count Nicholas,
therefore, inherits all his fathers
wealth-four hundred thousand dollars
year, besides personal property of al
most untold value. The late Count
Potocki was the husband of the beauti-
full countess of that name, once a
celebrity in the musical world, and
known as the friend and benefactor of
Chopin
