TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER IA, 1880

The Tribune's Mortified, Mass., dis
patch announces that D. L. Moody
will begiu season OF evangelical
work in San Francisco, aud remain
there through the winter. His family
will remain in Mortified. In choosing
San Francisco as his next point OF ef-
fort he has MT overlooked the many
difficulties to be met or the strength
Of the influence that will operate
against his success there. There y
probably not anptl,er large city IN the
country where the rigidly orthodox
Christianity which Moody breaches
has received such little encourage
ment hitherto as in San Francisco,
still he believes it is place where he
is most needed at the present time, and
believes that with the co-operatlon
which he expects from among the
churches, the city will be deeply
stirred.

THE wcll-known truthiulness OF the
Bodie New people is sufficient veli-
fication Of the vcracity Of the follow
ing narrative, which appeared in the
Standard Ne,cs Of that place the other
day: George Finney, driver OF the
Virginia and Bodie stage, says that
Snakes Of various species, including
the hoops and rattlers, are getting 70
be- 80 plentiful along the road at bis
end Of the route that it is dangerous
to leave the coach, and II is a great
wonder he hasn't lost his team before
this. In coming in the other day. he
drove into lot OF snakes that literal
Nv covered the road for about 500
wards. He couldn't turn out, so he
sent the silk into the horses and dashed
through on dead run. How the
team escaped injury puzzles him. One
big hoop snake, about ten feet long,
that was lying in the middle Of the
road. az soon as it heard the coach
coming, uncoiled itself just as the
team was passing OYER it and made
n vicious strike with it's spiked, bpny
tail at the belly of the nigh wheeler
but missed him and struck the pole
The lurce Of the blow was 80 great
that the tail was driven into the hare
wood some three inches, the snake
being unable to withdraw it, was
dragged along about 100 yards unit
ii was killed by one Of the wheeler
stepping on it and breaking Oft tn
spike. Tho venomous reptile gave
frightful yell, denotlng pain mlngle'
with rage, as it expired, and befor
reaching the next station. the wagon
p lie was swclled up as big as an OF
binary saw-log, while poison wa
dripping ont from under the irons
each end like green sap from fresl
y cut sapling.'

A FENIAN agent in Dublin tells
another interesting story TO the cor
respondent Of the New York Herald.
He says the fenian forces number
$4,000 enlisted men in Ireland and H.
500 in England, without counting
.merica. The lriShnen have $4,000
Snider rifles and are all armed with
reviewers and all the organizations
combined have a fund Of twenty tI,ous.-
and pounds. They can get all the
additional arms they want when the
time comes to use them. This judi
cious agent condemns the last Fenan
rising and says Ireland never means
to try her strength with England
single-handed. Ii England is ever
engaged in another Continental war
let her look out for the humble enemy
lying at her back. He says over
lures were made To Russia for aid to a
Fe,.ian uprising in 1878. which Mould
have been eagerly accepted had there
been war.
