A WRITER OF HEADS.
cleveland Leader

A man who once had been an ALTER
alive head-writer on a sensational news
paper, but who for some time, on ac-
count of intemperance, has been tramp
ing, arrived in Cleveland yesterday. He
was crazy, and his mutterings attracted
attention Going into an alley where
the ground was moist as the breaking up
of "bad cold, had set down.
"See here, said man, approaching
him you'll be arrested if you don't get
up from here. Who are you, anyway:
What is your namc:'
"Struck with stick, muttered the
man.
~ know him." said printer who
happened to be passing along. :" He IS a
professional newspaper head-writer, and
during his whisky insanity he imagines
that he is at work Say, old fellow, why
don't you get up"
mashed with a maui" replied the
man, working his fingers as though he
was writing.
"Don't you want something to eat?"
"Killed by COW"
"Come, get up"
Drowned in Ditch, muttercd the
man, sharpening his imaginary pencil
with fanciful knife.
"Dont you remember me?'
"Raided by Robbers
~ used to work on newspaper with
you
Held by Hemp"
"Don't you remember when you
worked in Chicago?'
Erode Him on Rail.
"In 1875, / think it was"
Bounced from Building"
Just then policeman arrived, and
catching hold of the head writer, shook
him and exclaimed, Come on here"
"Shaken by Storm"
Come on, tell YOU"
Caught in Cleveland.
"Get up" and the officer shook him
violently.
"Chased by Cocktaw."
"I'll chase you with Cocktaw," and,
lifting the "head man" to his feet, the
policeman showed him toward the station.
Poisoned with Pills." he muttered,
remarking that he was through for the
night, meekly accompanied his captor.

WONDERFUL REPTILES.

From California as it is, by Loring
Pickering and sixty.nine other leading
editors of California.
Over the hills, not three miles from
Auburn, Placer county, resides family
which has little -year-old prattler.
The family has box of rattlesnakes that
are quick, docile and tame. The chubby
hands of the wo-year.old daily drops lit
tie morsels of food into the box, and the
reptiles have become SO accustomed to
her visits that they will rise upon their
tails when they hear the pit-a-pat of her
approaching footsteps. The child's
mother, during the days, has the cradle
brought out, and the little one quietly
takes its afternoon nap within few feet
Of the box, and, as the mother sings a
sweet lullaby to her precious darling, the
snakes always join in the'chorus, and the
weird and musical noise Of the rattle re-
sembles the soft monotony of the snare
drum of the orchestra. Often the mother
rocks her child to sleep while she fans its
face with pam-leaf, which she keeps
always on the foot Of the child's couch.
One Sunday afternoon the little one had
become tired of feeding the snakes, and
the mother did not see the little one as
she quietly moved away the cover. The
child became sleepy, it is supposed, and
then it crawled into the cradle, as it was
often accustomed to do. The mother was
engaged doing her work, and therefore
paid little attention to wee Katie. She
was suddenly attracted by the rafting of
snakes, and she walked to the door,
where sight met her eyes that at first
caused her great alarm. The child was
in the cradle and at each rocker was a
snake, rocking it gently with their tails,
while four more large specimens stood
near by producing the music which was
so soothing to child's ears. But the
most remarkable of all was large rattle
snake perched upon nigh chair near the
child's head. with its tail coled about
the handle of the pam-leaf fan, gently
swaying it backward and forward ever its
face. 1t was picture for an artist, and
showed that the great Creator of all things
had even put in the breast of reptiles
those greatest of all virtues, love and
gratitude. The mother stood and watch
ed the reptile nurses for few moments,
when all feeling of fear entirely left her
bosom. She moved toward the cradle,
when the music ceased, the fan was gently
laid upon the cradle the four snakes I'M
coiled their tails from about the rockers,
and in less than thirty seconds the whole
tribe was in the box again, having re-
turned voluntary. They beheld the
child's mother, and knew that their serv-
ices were no longer required, therefore
they relinquished their precious charge
into the mothers keeping.

The weak point of horse can better
be discovered while standing than while
moving. If he is sound he will stand
firmly and squarely on his limbs without
moving any of them, the feet planted
fatty on the ground, with legs plump and
naturally poised. If one foot is thrown
forward with the toe pointing to the
ground and heel raised, or if the foot is
lifted from the ground and the weight
taken from it, disease may be suspected,
or at least tenderness, which is precur-
sor of disease. If the horse stands with
his feet spread apart, or straddles with
the hind legs, there is weakness in the
loins and the kidneys are apt to be dis.
ordered. Heavy pulling bends the knees.
Blush and milky cast eyes In horses in
dictate moon blindness, or something else.
A bad tempered horse keeps his ears
thrown back. A kicking horse is apt to
have Scared legs. A stumbling horse
has blemshed knees. When the skin is
rough and harsh, and does not move
easily and smoothly to the touch, the
horse is heavy eater and digestion bad.
Never buy horse whose respiratory or
gans are at all impaired Place your ear
at the side of the heart, and if Wheel
ing sound is heard it is an indication OF
trouble -let him go.

The OLDEST REPUBLIC. The most
ancient republic in the world is the San
Marine, a little Old World spot about
ten miles from the Adriatic Sea, and
which is as completely forgotten by the
rest of the world as the name of the first
ship.builder. OF all the republics of the
italian middle ages this is the only one
now left. 1t has withstood assaults from
all sides and in all forms. Moorish in
vaders, italian condottieri, Papal agress-
ors, the great first Napoleon himself
even, have failed, one and all, to pluck
the astute Marinese from their lofty hill
The entire population of all the republic
is 5000, all told, and the army is 1000
strong. The government is vested in a
Sovereign Grand Council of sixty in
habitants, forty being plebian, and twenty
aristocrats by birth. At the end of this
magnificently christened executive stands
the captains regent-the supreme presi.
dents Of San Marine. One of these gem
tlemen must also be plebian, and the
other an aristocrat. Their term of power
lasts only six months, at the end of
which time they retire, and other two
captains regent are duly elected into the
vacant place. Nearly everybody, there
fore, of note or unusual intelligence in
San Marino has chance of receiving at
the hands of his fellows the greatest
honor in their power to bestow upon O
Marinese citizen. The most laughable
feature about this tiny toy-box republic
however, is its legal machinery. No less
than twelve members of the Sovereign
Grand Council, it appears, are told off t.
assist the captains regent in any litiga
ton which may arise-a number of which
would seem to point to an exceeding litig
iousness ON the part of the inhabitants.

The latest news concerning the move
ments of General Delebecque in the AL
gerian Sahara has raised Spanish jealousy
to fever heat. The General has pursued
certain Arab Sheikhs as far as Figuig,
which is an oasis on the Moroccan side Of
the Saraha. 1t is beyond the Greek
Atlas, and is as little subject to the weak
voluptury who rules in Fee as to the
French Governor of Algiers; yet it is
nominally in Morocco. Hence the jeal-
GUS fear of Spain, which still cherishes
the hope of reasserting her supremacy
over her former conquerors. Those who
know anything of Spain and Morocco
cannot but regard this ambition as, to
say the least, unfortunate. Spain has
hardly a foothold or an interest in the
country, and the general Moorish SEN
timent towards Spaniards is aptly ex.
pressed in the popular proverb, Eng
land we love, France we fear, Spain we
spit upon"

ADVERTISING THAT PAID.-John Man
ming, the Sheriff of Deadwood, D. r.,
was in st. Louis on business, and he
remembered that year before st.
Louis man had been up to Deadwood and
left there owing a man several hundred
dollars which was to be paid as soon as
he got home. Manning met the man in
st. Louis, and he said he would hand
him the money next day; the next day
passed, and the money did not come,
though the man was amply able to pay.
So Manning inserted personal in a
newspaper to the effect that, if the man
who left Deadwood between two days,
did not pay the money he forgot to pay,
before night the whole circumstance
would be published next day. The
notice was signed, "John Manning, of
Deadwood. Before Q o'clock young
man called at Manning's hotel and said
he had come to pay $40 he had borrowed
to get out of Deadwood. Manning found
out who the money was borrowed from,
and took it to carry to the Deadwood
citizen, remarking that he was not the
man referred to, but it was mighty
mean man who would not carry money to
a friend The next man to call was the
one he wanted, and he paid the money
and apologized and begged the Sheriff
to say nothing about it. During the day
seven citizens of st. Louis called on Man.
ming and paid him money for citizens Of
Deadwood, believing the Sheriff had ref.
erence to them in his notice, and after he
had gone away, another citizen called and
asked the clerk for Manning, but the
clerk said the other fellows had all been
there and paid up, and this man had
better keep his money. The Sheriff said
he always thought that advertising paid
but he never had it demonstrated to his
satisfaction before.
