SOME of our journals are making saw
age remarks upon those devoted and jeal-
ons lovers, who are so prone to killing
their sweethearts and then failing after
wards in their less fervid efforts to kill
them selves, After the valient and dar-
ing deed of wOman.murder is complet ed
the effect is heightened by the forcible
contrast of the personal cowardice that
apparently prevents the completion of the
tragedy.

AMONG THE odd, the grotesque and the
sentimental names that crowd upon the
racing calendar, it is pleasing to chance
upon the title of Don Fulano as entered
for the Derby. Here indeed is name
that ought not to be allowed to die.
Among the many losses that American
literature suffered in the civi. war must
be counted as of great weight the fine
achievements and the greater possibilities
of work in the author of John Brent. The
high and peculiar range of poetic fancy in
Theodore Winthrop urged him to create
the splendid Don Fulano into the hero of
story.
The vengeance that would have stained
the hand of the human hero, aud marred
the exquisite delicacy Of his ideal Ameri-
can gentleman, Winthrop made devolve
like solemn duty upon the horse, who
dies in the end like martyr. The whole
drama quantity conceived, and artistically
executed must give lofty station in the
history of horsedom to the superb Don
Fulano, who should range free denizen
of those ever green fields of poesy with
the noble steeds of the paladins and
knights of old romance.

THE little village of Florida, New Jer-
sey, is now greatly excited over the dis
! covery of an alleged wild man who has
already been seen by several persons. Two
farm hands, while eating luuch near

ing, which one of them describes ss hav-
ing long beard, hairy face and coal
black eyes The great unknown at first
assumed an erect posture, but on being
pressed to partake of some food, fell down
on all fours and ran into the cave. A
short time after this, n hunter saw
strange looking monster, which he now
believes to have been the aforesaid wild
man. He fired at 1t but only succeeded
in cutting off some hair, which Is said to

THE favorite pastime of the voune

THE favorite pastime of the young
mobiles of Madrid consists IN getting M
a mock bull fight. with toreadors, plea
doris, chulos, etc, all complete, only the
animals used are young, half-growu
bulls, just little beyond the age OF calf
hood, and with their small inoffensive
horns mere straight points above their
brows. These poor little creatures are
pricked, and scorched, and speared, and
killed secundunt drtem by the golden
youth of Madrid, who run not a particle
of risk IN their noble sport, and ali the
luckless beast can do is to butt at their
tormentors and sometimes to push one
of them over. The bellowings of the
poor tortured little animals are said to
be inexpressibly piteous. These mock
fights are sometimes gotten up to
practice the students Of the art of bull
fighting in their noble calling, but they
are also popular amongst the youth of
the Spanish aristocracy. A combat of
that description was gotten up at the
Summer palace of La Granja last sum-
mer by the young grandees of the court,
and was honored 10y the presence of the
King and Queen of Spain. from
Mrs. Hooper.

The Latest Snake story.

While my wife and | were busily en-
gagged back OF our log cabin clearing the
ground, our little four-year-old girl had
strayed from the house into the deep.
dark forest. We looked all that evening
for her, but could find no trace of her
whereabouts. We came back, but sleep
was far from us. We sat and specialized
all night.
The next day eeveral of the neighbors
joined III the search, but to no avail
We camped out that night, and at mid
night were aroused by many and loud
sounds OF his-ing and rafting We
jumped up and followed in the direction
from which the sounds came, aud had
not gone far when we all stopped sud.
denly as if we had been rooted to the

inches to fifteen feet, the larger ones
standing ON their tails in a circle, with
erect bodies and necks curved down to.

ter.
We looked on in horror but could do
nothing as the girl was in too dangerous
a position. But soon after, the snakes
had, as we supposed, danced their war
dance and sung their war song, the
larger ones made each for the lowest
branch on one of the trees in a direct
line with our cabin. Wrapping one
end of their bodies around the branch
they dropped the other end toward the
ground.
In the meantime two large snakes had
wrapped one end of their bodies around
the child, SO that one of their heads was
on one side and the other on the oppo-
site side. One of these snakes then tied
itself with the one hanging from above
they then swung themselves. together
with the child, till the other snake on
the child could catch the snake hanging
on the adjoining tree, when the former
let go and the latter swung the child to
the next. During this novel proceeding
the other snakes kept up an incessant
jubi ee rattle till the child was landed
inside of our cabin safe and sound, when
they once more repeated the scene in the
woods by dancing around her, after
which they left Williansport Sun
and Banner.

Why do so many people write novels?
Are they moved by desire for fame?
Who reaches fame nowadays by the path
of fiction? Two or three in generation,
perhaps, and the most that the others
gain is little notoriety-such n little!
All the dozens of ladies and gentlemen
who produce three-volume novels can
not in their widest dreams believe them
selves Austens or Thackerays. Ii money
the bait? Alasl commodity SO very
abundant cannot be otherwise than
cheap; and novels arc like fish in one re-
spect at least-the profit made on them
goes chiefly to the middle-men. lis there,
then, veritable charm to many people
in seeing themselves in print? Perhaps
that may account for il. Whatever the
motive may be, it must surely be pretty
strong one that induces anybody to go
through thesmere manual labor of writ
ing five hundred pages or so; and there
are floods of novels being poured upon
us every month, every week-every day,
almost perfect sea Of literature, in
which wit and wisdom are coming
nearer and nearer to the meagre proper
tons of Falstafi's pennyworth OF sack.
Things have already reached such a
pass, that the critic is thankful when he
finds book not very dull or very vul-
CARA tissue of impossibilities, or far
rago of foolishness. One amusing chap
ter refreshes his spirit, one natural chap
ter makes him feel that he has found a
spring in the desert. If he neither goes
to sleep over the second volume nor
throws it away from him in uncontrol-
able evaporation, he is so pleased at the
end that he says, Really that is a very
good story, not at all bad company for
an hour or two" and straightway sets to
work to inform the public thatthey can
not do better than to read Mr.. So-and-
Sos last book.

A New EXhilaTant.

The extraordinary eXhllarating power
of " laughing gas is well known but a
similar property has been discovered III
a LIQUID mixture of phosphate Of soda
and tincture of the ergot of rye. While
treating female patient with tincture
of the ergot Of rye for painful affection
of the knee, DR.. Laton. of Rheims, dis
covered that, by adding little of the
phosphate of soda to the medicine, 1t
sent the patient into uncomfortable fits
of laughter, which evidently sprang from
the merriest ideas. No effect was OBJ
served until three-quarters of an hour
after the dose was taken, and after the
intoxication died away the patient con-
tinued in the best of humor for some time.
Experiments were then made on num-
Der of persons, but it was found that fe-
males were the most susceptible to the
influence of the poison. In the case OF
some men only giddiness and a slight
headache were the result. 1t IS worthy
of remarks in this connection, that rye
bred in wet seasons is apt to produce a
feeble exhilaration of the same kind,
perhaps because it contains a small per
centaee of the ergot. We trust that
doctors and dispensers will be as sparing
as possible in the use of this drug, so az
to prevent its employment as species
of intoxicant.
