A Battle with Snakes.

A few days ago as Joseph Uhl, a
farmer living near Ellenville, n Y, was
loading his wagon with logs, he heard an
omlnous hiss and rattle. Then a
monster rattlesnake thrust his head out
from between the logs, and Mr.. Uhl
says that he then saw what seemed to
him hundreds of reptiles in the wood
pile. He have leap from the pile, and
telling his frightened boy to drive the
oxen out to the road and wait for him,
he grasped a stick and began fighting
the snakes, which seemed to come from
every crack in the pile of logs, and from
the rocky ledge behind. For three
hours he fought, in a broiling sun. By
that time the snakes were pretty well
thinned out, and those that were left
crawled back slowly to their den under
the logs. When Mr.. Uhl recovered
from the exhaustion caused by his hard
fight, he surveyed the field before him.
There were, according to his story,
twenty three rattlesnakes, thirteen black
snakes, four pilots, and several adders
and other snakes, making fifty-four in
ALL One of the rattlers had ninteen rat
ties, apiece. Mr.. Uhl says that he found
the fangs of several snakes in the tops
of his boots, which were OF thick cow
hide. The only bite he received was
from big black snake on his left arm.
The arm is swollen and somewhat pain
full, but the wound is not dangerous.
Several wears ago two hunters killed one
hundred and seven snakes of different
varieties in the same spot.

CLAD IN GRAY.
BY MRS. CLARA porY RATES

little housewife bee
Pussy and gray was She
Hummed at the clover-tops continuousIy
The summer day was fair
And through the sunny air
The birds on breath of song scared everywhere
She had no colored coat,
No gold band at her throat,
Nor painted wings TO flutter with or float;
sort of grizZled fur
Wrapped and encompassed her,
Except her wings of faded gossamer.
Her voice was low and fine:
l heard her drone and whine:
l saw her needless Of the song and slime;
And yet il seemed that none
Under that summer sun
Was any happier than this busy one
The idle and the gay
Went on tn cir careless way
Nor noted the little housewife clad in gray:
And yet, thought how sweet
The honey she could eat
How cool the clover must be to her feet
The wholesome element
OF LabOr's true content
Was through her humble, plodding presence lent
To day otherwise
Given to butterflies.
That huttered but to vanish from the eyes.
That little toiling bee
This lesson gave to me:
To labor, If / must, contentedly.
Thus would the summer tide
Flow for me rich and wide,
And harvest, honey-sweet, be mine beside
CHI istidn Union.

A good way too cook liver is to fry it
in butter, with an onion cut into small
pieces scattered over it. Cook slowly;
when done, add lump of butter and a

the party lines, Congressman Bayne will
not likely refuse to affiliate with the six
thousand Republicans of his county who
are willing to seek reform outside of the
party rather than secure no reform at
all. There are now three wings in the
Republican party, the Quay-Cameron
Stalwarts, the Philadelphia conference
people, and the Wolfe band. If the lat
ter are to be excluded from the regular
organization, as is threatened, the re-
formers who met in Philadelphia yes
terday will soon find themselves in a
minority and will be beaten in
any state convention to which
they carry their case. In that
event the cllaff Of their movement
will relapse into the ranks of the
regulars, and the wheat will find lodg-
ment in the Wolfe camp, whose leaders
are for reform without the party lines,
since they have found reform in the
party impracticable and impossible.
Until some element of the Republicans
in Pennsylvania declares for reform first
and party sec ondly, Of course the Demo
Gratis are only asked to contemplate the
spectacle with the feeling in which the
old man looked at the tussle OF Betsey
