AntidOte to Snake Bites.

On the subject of snake bites. very
interesting communication has lately
been received in India from an American
gentleman, Mr. Koscicky, recommending
the gall of rattlesnakes as an antidote
for snake bites. Mr.. Koscicky, who be-
came acquainted with the antidote at
Venezuela, states that it is not only
cheap and infallible, but instantaneous
and wonderful in its effects-crows and
dogs in the last stages of the poison re-
covering as soon as the remedy was adj
ministered to them. The preparation
of the antidote is simple: "Three rat
tlesnakes' gals put into an ordinary
wine bottle filled with so deg. spirits,
and allowed to stand for week. in Or
dinary cases one or two tablespoonfuls
are taken; in extreme cases, three to
six. Mr.. Koscicky recommends expert
ments being made in this country with
other snake gals. DIR. Fayrer agrees
with this recommendation. and refers
Mr.. Koscicky's letter to the committee
at Calcutta for investigating snake pois-
on. The idea, however, ne says, is not
a new one, for in the ''Thanatophidia of
India" the result of an experiment witk
the antidote is recorded; and he is of
opinion that when brought to the test of
scientific investigation, it will not prove
more successful than many other "dnti.
dotes" which have hitherto been tried
and have failed.

Men we Don't want to Meet.

The man who grunts and gasps as he
gobbles his soup, and at every other
mouthful seems threatened with chok-
ing fit.
The man who, having by an accident
been thrown once in your company,
makes bold to bawl your name out, and
to shake your hand profusely when you
pass him on the street.
The man who, pleading old school-fel-
lowship, which you have quite forgotten,
never meets you without trying to extort
a fve-dollar note.
The man who artfully provokes you to
play game of billiards with him, and,
though he feigns to bea novice, produces
his own chalk.
The man who can't sit at your table on
any set occasion without getting on his
legs to propose some stupid toast.
The man who, thinking you are musi-
cal, bores you with his notions on the
music of the future, of which you know
as little as the music of the spheres.
The man who wears white hat in the
winter, and smokes a pipe when walking,
and accosts you as "old fellow" just as
you are hoping to make good impress
sion on some well-dressed lady friends.
The man who, knowing that your doc
tor faces him at table, turns the talk SO
as to set him talking doctors shop.

A Horse Thief Caught.

1t was announced Saturday that Sheriff
Schmidt, of Benton county, Iowa, was in st.
Paul in quest of horse thief named John
Nelson, whose raids in Iowa have made him
notorious as one of the most successful
operators i'll the country. Nelson was traced
to st. Paul, and from thence in the direction
of Washington county, aud believeing that a
difnite clue was had to his whereabouts,
Officer Casey was detailed to accompany
Sheriff Schmidt on Saturdayin quest of their
man.
Traces Of his journey were found within a
short distance of Hudson, this side of which
the officers recovered a valuable horse which
had been sold by Nelson to farmer for
$115. The horse was brought to this city,
where it awaits the arrival of its owner from
Iowa
Last evening telegram was received by
Chief Weber from the deputy of Benton
county enquiring for Sheriff Schmidt, and
stating that Nelson had been arrested at
Austin, in this State, and would be turned
over to the authorities upon their arrival.
Sheriff Schmidt left last evening for
Austin.
The extent to which Nelson operated may
be learned when it is stated that eight
horses which he ran off have been recovered
within the past few weeks.

How Stanley Made His Way.

Mr.. Henry Stanley is reported as say
ing that the first line he ever wrote as
a journalist was an account Of naval
engagement that he witnessed from the
masthead-one of the earlier ones of the
war. He sent it to the Herald. 1t was
accepted, published, and literally paid
for, and Stanley received fattering let
ter from Mr.. Bennett, as Stanley's was
the only account. This so fired the boys
ambition that he applied himself to read
ing and study as vigorously as he could,
and the formation Of the resolution to
travel and write. An acquaintance says
of him in the Cincinnati Commercial: !:
''His powers of labor were immense, and
he never tired nor lost his temper. 1
have known him, after riding all day in
the ambulance, to remain up the entire
night, wrapped in an overcoat and blank
ct, and on his knees, by the aid of tai
low candle, write, the live-long night,
several letters to different papers, yet on
the same subject, changing language and
ideas, SO as to be ready for the courier
who started at break of day, and then
trust to the jolting of the ambulance for
his mods of repose, on the narrow roads
to repeat the operation if he could Sc
cure any news or smelt chance for
another letter"

Superstition South of the Equator.

There are three great divisions of the
Indian family residing in the parts of
South America which lie south of the
Equator; but though differing in Ian
guage, customs, and manners, they all
belong to the Aryan branch, and most
probably came across in numerous mi
grations from Central Asia by the Straits
of Behring. With regard to religion,
they believe in two gods The first is
called by some Pillau; by others, Cuch-
auciatru, or "the great god" He is sup
posed to bear tie human form, but can
make himself invisible. He is the crea-
tor of the world, and author of all that
is good. The Indians never assemble
to worship him; he is supposed to be
content with the respect given to him
in the heart of each individual. The
other god is "tbe spirit of evil" known
as Gualichu; to him every sacrifice and
offering is made to propitiate his wicked
designs. Not only do the Pampa Indians
believe in the Immortality of the soul,
but also in the doctrine of metempsy-
Ghosts; hence when burying their dead,
they always sacrifice over the grave the
favorite horse of the dead man, and
place beneath the tumulus the warriors

and once more he knocks at the same

Notwithstanding the rainy weather yester-
day afternoon at White Bear Lake, the open
air concert given by the Nathal English
Opera Company for the benefit of the New
Catholic Church of that place, was decided
success. A special train of seven or eight
cars left the city at 2:30 P. M. and returned
at 5:45, giving an opportunity to any who
might wish to attend. The cars were
crowded. Aside from those who went on the
special train, large number of the residents
and Summer visitors of the lake attended.
The programme was very well chosen, and
was received with pleasure. A goodly sum
was realized for the benefit of the proposed
new church. The singing was in the open air
on the grounds occupied last season by the
knights Templars.

commented upon yesterday. Every body was

looked upon the animated scene from the

A Cheap Smoke. House.

Dig narrow pit from twelve to eigh-
teen inches deep, throwing the earth all
out on one side. From near the bottom
ofthe pit dig a trench of sufficient length
to hold one or two joints of stove pipe,
at such an angle as will bring the end
away from the pit to the surface of the
ground. Over the end of this pipe set a
common -four barrel or large cask, as
may be needed, and, having removed
both heads, bank up around it with loose
dirt, SO that no smoke can escape at the
bottom. Putting a cover on the sticks
will leave space enough for draught to
let the smoke pass freely. Build smoke
fire of corn-cobs, damp hard wood or
sawdust in the PIT, and you will have a
cheap, safe and efficient smoke house
with very little trouble.

There was an immense Hancock demou-
stration in this city to night The American
club and the Samuel j. Randall association,
escorting the delegates to Cincinnati, arrived
in the city about 8 O'Clock. Long before
that hour the streets around the West Phi,a-
delphia depot were thropged with people,
aud the streets along the route of the slade
were lined. Democratic clubs from every
ward formed in line, and, with torches and
Fireworks, banners and transparencieS,
and lots of enthusiasm, moved down Chest
nut street, hurrahing for Hancock. The af
fair was gotten up within day or two, and
was almost entirely impormpiu. No one
looked for such tremendous turnout. The
procession took almo { an hour in passing
given point, and has rarely been equalled ex-
cept in the heat of Presidential campaign.
Chestnut street was ablaze with light, and
the members of the two visiting clubs were
loudly cheered as they passed along in their
neat suits of serge and swinging their
great paim-leaf fans which served
them so we'll in Cincinnati. Oa
every transparency the name of Hancock
appeared TIE Randall buys, under the
leadership of Marshal McSIullen, AMI the
rival Democratic, or Wallace, faction
marched in the same line, and, to all appear
ance. the party in this city is now united.
Dispatches from all over the State speak
of great and unbounded enthusiasm every
where. There was nothing like it when
Garfield was nominated, and the Democrats
are loudly proclaiIning everywhere their
ability t. carry tie State for Hancock aud
English. 1t is pretty certain now that Don
Cameron will not accept the craftsmanship

Origin OF Lynch Law.

In Campbell county, Va, on the
Roanoke river (then called Staunton
river), during the old Revolutionary war
when there were some Tories of cbnox.
iOus character still remaining in the
county not reachable by any statutory
law, Col. Charles Lynch, supported by
Capt. Robert Adams, his brother-in-law
both farming on adjoining plantations,
and-.-Calloway, determining to rid the
country of such dangerous enemies,
seized, on different occasions, three of
the worst of them, tied them to q tree
and logged them SO severely as to
prompt an unceremonious departure
from the State, as they were ordered.
This sort of procedure on the part of
Lynch and his friends proving so effect
i've in Campbell was quickly followed in
other counties, where loyalty to King
George sometimes provoked summary
punishment, and it was called "Lynch
law" and has been to our day.
The snatch of an old song of the time
is still repeated in the neighborhood:
Huzza for Captain Bob, Colonel Lynch and Galloway,
Never let Tory rest til he cries out liberty.
John Lynch, the brother of Charles
Lynch, was the founder of Lynchburg: !:
only few of their descendants are now
living-none in Notwithstanding the
family name, so far as is known-the
last of the males, Charles Henry Lynch,
and his brother. John Pleasant, having
died in Campbell county since the War
of Secession. Their sister, Mrs. Dear
ing, and her daughter Mrs. Faunt LIE
Roy, now occupy the old homestead,
where still remains the stump of the
walnut tree to which tho three Tories
were tied and whipped. Life was never
taken.
Webster, in his unabridged dictionary,
says of "Lynch law" that it was the
practice of furnishing men for crimes
or offenses by private, unauthorized
persons, without a legal trial. The term
is said to be derived from Virginia
farmer named Lynch, who thus took the
law into his own hands,"
