In the Coils or q SERPENT.

One of the most intrepid wild beast
tanners in Europe, Karolyi, Magyar
of colossal stature and extraordinary
physical strength, fell . victim to his
perilous profession. He was perform
ing before = crowded audience in
Madrid on = certain day one Of his most
sensational feats, which consisted IN
allowing ! hinge boa constructor, over
twenty feet in length, to infold his
body in its tremendous coils, when sud
denly piercing cry escaped him which
was greeted by the public with . round
of applause, under the supposition that
its utterance constituted part Of the
performance. II proved, however, to
be the outcome Of strong man death
agony. The gigantic snake had tight
ened its coils, and crushed poor Karol-
yi'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 ifeless victim
swayed for . second or two of mex
pressible horror, and then toppled on
the boards of the stage. But the boa
did not in the least relax his grip upon
tho corpse, which remained fer more
than an hour imprisoned in it's hideous
thralldom, nobody daring 70 approach
the 1.-THE monster, of whose powers
snch appalling proof had been given
At length it occurred to one of karol-
yi's attendants to place bowl OF milk
in cage within sight of the mighty
serpent, which slowly unwound itself
from the dead body and glided into its
den, irresietibly tempted thereto by its
favorite dainty. A post-mortem exam
ination OF the unfortunate athletes re-
mains discovered no fewer than eighty
seven fractures of his bones, effected
by the construction Of the serpent's
coils. His death must have been al
most instantaneous, as the spine was
dislocated in several places London

The country all through Northern
Minnesota abounds in lakes and lake
let's from an eighth Of o mile to ten and
twelve miles in length, and there are
said to be 10000 OF them in the State
and large proportion of them are said
to abound with fish and game. Those
who have travelled through it tell me it
is perfect paradise for sportsmen, and
indeed, large parties OF gentlemen from
other States, as well rs from Europe
and the provinces, visit this section
annually in pursuit Of game and sport,
and health as consequent upon snci
pursuits. The first evening arrive.
one OF these sportsmen came into the
hotel in the evening, followed by two
men carrying strings of birds, com.
prised mainly of ducks, but with few

great weight Of game of which there
must have been over $50 birds were
