One knows not Of n more terrible
situation for n man to be in than To be
awoke by = venomous SNAKE falling on
him. An English officer in India tells
Of his experience in this sort Of ter
ror:
II was the worst season Of the year
for venomouE creatures when Tom Nor
ris and myself were occupying n small
bungalow at Jnbbulporc.
We slept in the same room, each Of
us having lounge, and it WIS about
two o'clock in th. morning, and pitch
dark, when ! Was awakened by some
thing striking mo on the hack ard fall
ing, AS the sound seemed to indicate, in
a coil upon the floor.
whats thAti' exclaimed my friend,
who awoke at the same instant, and ]
made no reply, for had the strongest
possible dislike TO say what | believed
il was.
whats thatF' he asked again; and
then answered, 'I think it's snake,
and he has bitten me; will you get up
and 20 for a light"
Tom Norris lay still for u while. then
be said: Now, look here, old fellow,
if cobra has bitten you, lac won't do
yon the least additional harm If he
bi( (ea you again; but what IN the use of
my being bitten tool Hadn't you bet
ter get up and go for the light your
Helff'
Could any logic have been more rea-
sonablei at once got up. and after
some trouble procured a light, and we
began our search for the snake.
But first Tom Norris examined the
place where had been bitten, and his
face grew very grave, for there were
the two punctures, and it seemed clear
that a snake had injured me.
We hunted about the house for ten
minutes, and although ! felt myself
growing drowsy, began to hope that
il was not cobra, but some less ven
omous reptile that had bitten me.
AT last the mystery was solved. AS
we entered the bathroom, q wild cat,
that for some incomprehensible reason
had taken refuge in the bungalow, went
flying, half mad with fright, out Of the
window, carrying half u dozen panes OF
glass with her in her exit.
In her confusion she had evidently
jumped upon the bed, and her claw'
had penetrated my back, making tive
little HOES precisely like the bite of I
cobra.
To say that was relieved woulC
give you very poor idea of my senti
ments as the cat sprang through tn
/ window. All my drowsiness vanished
and slept no more that night.

a Lake George letter describes an
amusing scene caused by clerk at one
Of the hotels on the lake. He had OBJ
served the devotion of man of sixty
to a widow much younger, and believ-
ing that an intrigue was going on, ac-
costed the old man very rudely inti-
mating that such proceedings wen. not
allowed there. The man of sixty flew
into n passion; threatened to chastise
the impudent fellow, and made a grand
scene. The sequel proved that he was
the womans husband, and ad been for
ten years. The clerk humbly apollo
gized; expressed his profound regret,
but added that his mistake was natural
enough. Asked afterwards to explain,
he said he had noticed that the patron
of the house had, while sitting on the
piazza in the evenings, repeatedly put
his arm around his feminine companion
and bent down and kissed her warmly
and in his clerical Judgment that was
not the way husbands were in the hab
\ it of treating their own wives.

North" Is feasible, and the declaration
Of John Sherman, quoted above, shows
that the Republican leaders are ready
to resort to any mcqna Of perpetuating
their power, no matter how repreheusi-
ble II may be.
@ohn J. Ingalls,, United States sena-
tor from Kansas. by virtue Of Jay
Gonld's money, has boen strutting
around Washington since tho return Of
the snb committee sent there to investi-
gate the manner Of bis election. He
feels confident that he will not be un-
seated, and from all / can learn I guess
he is right. Not that such result will
DO IN accordance with his deserts or the
facts in the case; but instead Of making
tho inquiry when the circumstance
were fresh, II was postponed until late
ID ehe summer, after the artful dodger
had been given time TO fix witnesses
and destroy all positive evidence against
MIN. saw letter last winter from
Republican now in Kansas, formerly
connected with the Radical organ here,
in which he expresses his conviction
that Ingalls, bought his election out
right. He was n clerk in the I.egisla-
lature at the time and based his opin-
ion upon personal knowledge and OBJ
servation. The charges all came from
Ingalls, own party. and Il Republican
member Of Congress from that State
told me he had no earthly doubt of his
guilt. Yet In the face of all this he
appears likely TO escape exposure. II
is said that Senator Saulsbury, the
Democratic chairman of the Comnittec.
does not desire to elicit any poaitively
damaging evidence. l don't know how
that is, but am satisfied that Ingalls,
escape will be due 10 the delay and
sympathizing tactics of his Senatorial
colleagues quite ~ much as TO his own
manipulation.

tribute to tie dead hero, Gen. Joe

Last Saturdays kilograms brought
the monrnful news that Gen. JozrtII

name brings up at this time. Just

In twenty minutes thousand dollars
had been raised, and Hooker next day
left for Panama. His adopted State

figure and classical face through the
veil Of mist and romance that envel-
oped the brilliant apothcosis Of Lookout
Mountain.

SENTIMENT AND SENSE.

To study the world is better than to
shun it.
One must be poor to know the lux
ury of giving.
To understand the world is better
than to condemn it.
Employment for the mind is what
thousands are in need of.
BY being contemplate we set peo-
Piles minds to the tune of contempt
To make the world better, lovelier
and happier is the noblest work of man
or woman.
When alone, watch your thoughts;
in your family, your temper; in compa
ny, your tongue.
Let amusement FIJI up the chinks Of
your existence, but not the great space
thereof.
