Something to be Hoped For.

As years roll on and curiosity is more
and more awakened, important literary
discoveries must. of course, become
rarer. The enterprise Of individual
scholars of antiquarian societies and of
government commissions have left few
corners unexplored. Still, it is by no
mean improbable that some precious
documents are still lurking in places
where their existence is least suspected.
Malone used to say that he saw no rea-
son why the original manuscripts of some
of S~hakespeare's dramas should not turn
up. Scholars still cling to the hope that
they may one day see a comedy OF Ien-
anJer or an ode of Alc@us in their en-
tirety. The chances are, it must he con.
fessed, very much against such al ';ur-
renee, though perhaps it is / ther
chimerical nor o~ver-sanguine t nope
that some lucky accident may " oring

He Had Snakes.
ate

Between eleven and twelve O'Clock
last Wednesday night a telephone cal
was received at police headquarters, AM
in response to the question "What's
wanted p came over the wire, "Send a
detective to the Palace at once" De
tective Jones went to the place, and, or
reaching the Office, was informed that
there was a man in the private room
who had been found in one of the cor
ridors trying to open a window of one
of the rooms. Jones was ushered into
the room, and there met a man attired
in a business suit and wearing an over.
coat having capacious pockets, which
appeared to be we'll filed.
"What have you got q asked the de-
tective.
"Snakes," was the l%aconic reply.
"You don't look like a man who is
troubled with snakes" said Jones, 81
guess III see what you've got, anyhow"
and as he spoke he made a movement
with his right hand to insert it in II
of the pocket of the man with the over
coat. Just as the tips of his fingers
reached the pocket, the man said
81 don't mean snakes in my boots,
but the real kind of snakes"
Jones withdrew his hand as quickly
as he could, imagining at the time that
one of the creeping reptiles was about
to make a dart at it with its poisonous
fangs.
"Well, whatever you've got" then
Jones growing suddenly bold, "just you
60 through yourself,a and whatever you've
got in your pockets, put on that table"
He then stood at a respectfuldistance
and saw the nan draw from his pockets
garter and copperhead snakes,
tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes and liz
ards, and after he had laid seventeen
specimens on the table, he remarked
"There's some of the inhabitants of
Arizony."
Jones and others who were in the
the room, fearlessly approached to ex-
anime the specimens, for they were all
preserved in alcohol. 1t was ascertained
ipon inquiry that the nan had no burg
arious intent. That he had arrived
Arizona during the afternoon, and

'ormality of applying to the clerk,

tying up another COW a. the far end of
the COW house, to shout, authoritatively:
''Ha, Coch p Tor whatever the name Of
the offender may beg "what are you
doing there p and the offender is at
once reduced to order and obediently
seeks her proper place-proving that she
knows well she is doing wrong, and
that she under stands that the reproof is
addressed only to her.
That the cow is much influenced by
affection for human beings is certain.
Every one who has had much to do
with her knows that she will give her
milk most freely when MIXED by a per-
son whom she likes, whereas she will
not give it as well, or even withhold it
altogether, if the mixer is a stranger,
or any one for whom she has an aver
sion; consequently, it is most important
that all her attendants should be lnvari-
ably kind, gentle and patient with her.
In our childhood there was in the nerd
a beautiful little Alderney, with whom
we were on intimate and affectionate
terms, and who, after calving, firmly de-
clined to be MIXED. The dairvmaid
being in difficulties, the present writer
went to her assistance, and found that
the cow would remain as quiet as posi-
BILE so long as we stood by her head and
caressed her; and after we had thus as
sisted for the first once or twice when
she was MIXED, she became quite recon-
ciled to the operation, and never after
ward gave any more trouble about it.
At that time we were on an excellent
footing with all the COWS, through con-
stantly taking them pieces of bread, APP
pie parings and similar luxuries; and
also through having discovered wherea-
bouts they most enjoyed having their
faces, necks, heads, etc, rubbed, patted
or scratched; The consequence Of this
was that they used to'greet the arrival of
their friend amongst them cordially, and
we well remember the horror and dis
may which this once caused 70 a German
governess. We were crossing a field on
n side Of a hill. when the herd caught
sight of US, and came charging toward
us, tossing their heads with joy and ex-
element, and slipping and sliding down
the steep slope IN their hurry. The
poor governess imagined that she was
surrounded by mad bulls, and gave her
self up for lost, and never again could
she be induced to trust herself in the
same field with what she persisted in
regarding as dangerous creatures, from
whom she had had a most lucky escape.

A warning addressed to his son by a
manufacturer of the old school-a man
whose commercial type is probably as
extinct as tho patriarchal race who lived,
like him, in five English reigns-was by
chance or choice cast in epigrammatic
form still remembered after fifty years.

Adelaide Nelson's Confession.

Yet, Bohemian, or not Bohemian,
Adelaide Nelson was about to fix the
final gem in the circle of brilliants her
beauty and her genius bad won her.
The necessity for keeping her secret no
longer exists, and I now publish it. She
herself told me last Summer that she
was engaged to be married to Rear Adj
miral Glyn, the naval officer who took
the Prince of Wales out to India, and
whose standing at court is of the high
est. AS his wife her life would have
been a delightful one. Certain circum-
stances would have barred her p~resenta-
ton to the Queen, but there are many
ladies of fashion and standing who do
not enjoy that honor and yet who go
freely into brilliant and aristocratic So
ciety and hold their own there. This.
would have been Adelaide Nelson's po-
sition.
She would have had a gentleman Of
birth and distinction, and one who
adored her, for a husband, and her house
would have been the rendezvous for the
brightest, gayest and most entertaining
in all classes of London multiplex life.
When she told me last year of her in
tention to marry and leave the stage, l
ventured to say that l thought she was,
unwise 10 do so. Her revenue from the
stage life was very handsome, and the
adulation to her beauty and talent was
an incessant song.
eyes, yes, l know all of that" she
replied, as we drove in her pretty little
brougham up Regent street; but then
if you only knew how my afianced
husband loves me! 1t is perfect idola-
try!'
"And do you think it will continue 2"
1 asked.
81 am sure of it," she replied warmly.
" You have no idea how staunch and
true he is ! His love has continued for
many years. No matter where l 60, or
how long l stay away, l find him ever
the same when / return. | lont TO mar
ry him, l wish l were to do so to-rlor-

"Please put in that one Of my uncles
