l determined to sift the secret to the bot
tom, and proceeded to Yonkers in order to
hunt up the ex-president himself and get
from his own lips the true solution of the
puzzle After short ride from the depot
1 arrived at Greystone, a splendid country
house plcturesquely situated on the top
Of high hill with superb sweep of the
river before it. 1t is one of the highest
points in the neighborhood, and there are
few houses that control so magnificent a
view. The numberless little turrets and
bastions give the visitor the idea of an old
castle. The spacious grounds beautifully
laid out and cultivated in the best taste
deepen that impression. As / passed by
the window could see the ex-presidsnt seat
ed in his parlor reading attentively by a
lighted fire letter. Whether after his
tender perusal of the epistle he kissed it
and put it to his heart as the traditional
iove-sick sutton is generally represented to
do l cannot conscientiously state, for Twas

WATCH DOG.
On this point little room for doubt re-
NAMED in my mind, for presently huge
dog, looking as if he had evidently been
disappointed at not now having national
berth in the White house and being the
presidential dog of the country, rushed at
me ferociously and began to imprint his
huge teeth upon my coat-tails. The dog.
instead of being reproved, was encouraged
in his murderous Design by malicious
servant.
''What is all this about!" queried Mr.
Tilden, as he emerged from the parlor into
the hall and called of the dog. fIr. Tilden
looked remarkably well; he was very neat
ly attired in black, with his usually small
cravat daintily tied across spotless shirt
front.

Indian Snake CharmIng-A Tough

Ny friend 7 had a house in
the fort at Asirgurh. A dog and
some poultry did mysteriously,
and rat holes suggested snakes In

from the city of Buhanpur. The
man came with basket and flag.

cloth and scanty rag over bis
shoulders. He was searched and
then taken to the rooms that had
proved so fatal. The charmer ex.
amined the locality, selected hole
and commenced piping a "reed
monotoneus treble" for five or six
minutes. Then q cobra's head
emerged from the hole. The
charmer pinned it to the ground
with forked stick, then seizing 1t
with the other hand behind the
head, he drew it from the hole.
Presently he similarly captured
another cobra. The snakes were
put into the basket. Subsequent-
ly q chicken was given to one
Of the snakes to bite, and the
bird died In less than five minutes
It is often suggested that these
charmers ply their trade on the
principle that those who hide can
find. There is no suggestion of
such imposture in this case; nor do
there seem to have been facilities
for it, since the man came from a
distance. Anyhow, the snakes

BROBDIGNAG IN OHIO.
The Dwelling and Mode Of Life of Giant
Pair.

Captain Martin Van Buren,
Bates, who lives on q farm near
Seville, Ohio, is seven feet eleven

478 pounds. Mrs. Bates is seven
feet eleven inches high and
weighs Alb pounds. 1t is a difficult

of the proportions of such a dwell.
ling as the one occupied by the
Ohio Giants. A door that is six
feet six inches high is u large
sized opening in the side of
house-that is, a dwelling house,
not cathedral. But the doors D
the domicile of the Bates giants
are ten feet high, and the knobs
are nearly as high as the reporters
head.
The house was built by Captain
Bates, in 1875, and is elegantly
furnished. In the main building
on the ground floor are, besides the
spacious hall, the bed-chamber of
the giants, q sitting room and a
parlor. The couch upon which
the big couple sleep was made es-
peeially for them, and it is q Curl
0sity to look at. 1t is extensive
enough to give the great people
room enough to stretcn In, and 1t
looks as big as an ordinary sized
floor. 1t Is really ten feet long,
wide in proportion and about twice
as high as common bed. The
magnificent dressing case is also q
huge affair, with q glass upon it
nearly as big as the eide OF q
house. In the sitting room is
q piano of ordinary size itself,
but it is mounted on blocks
two feet high, 30 that the instru-
ment is away up In the air, out OF
the reach of common folks. There
are two rocking chairs in this |

porter had to climb up into one OF |

We gave in the HERALD the SUBJ
stance Of conversation held by
our tOwnsman, Mr.. J. T.. HoIlen-
beck, with the leading orange
grower of Louisiana, in which the
latter stated that, last year, from an
orange orchard of fifteen thousand
trees, he had only realized $4,000
gross. In the same conversation
the Louisianian expressed the
opinion that, in short time,
every orange tree in his State
would be dead, owing to the severe
frosts which there attack, impair

10 Florida, it is notorious that the

Los Angeles orange, when it is

and there is no such degree of cold
here as would menace the safety

gross and indefensible partizan
villainy was perpetrated upon as
gallant patriot as ever lived, In
the person of McClellan's conspic-
uous friend. Out on the hypoc-
risy! Grant knew, when he was
General of the Army, and when
he was President, as well as he does
now, that Porter was made the vio-
tim OF Lincoln's Republican ad-
ministration, and OF the incompe-
tency Of that miserable ass and
braggart, Major General John w.
Pope, whose Bobadil talk about
having mo bases of supply or lines
of retreat" with "his headquarters
in the saddle" has passed into the
comedy of bloody fiascos. Grant
pretends to have had new light
upon the matter. This is lie. He
now acts, not from any new revela-
tiens, but because he seeks to unite
the Democratic friends of Porter
with his ow2 Republican personal
following on this double proposi-
tion, viz, ID reinstatement
of Porter, with full back
pay, and retirement on
half pay; ~ retirement of Gen.
Grant rs General of the Army, on
half or full pay, as the case may be.
We trust that Gen. Porter has not
lent himself to the furtherance of
this dirty intrigue. We trust,
above all, that the Democratic
members Of Congress will not be
csjoled by it. Should they yield
to the siren, We are then, indeed,
at loss to know in what respects
Democratic public men differ from
their Republican associates, al.
though we know how wide the
chasm is between the principles Of
the two parties and of their respec-
tive exemplars, the Republican
Thomas Jefferson and the mon
archist Alexander Hamilton. Bet
ter to have the barb of injustice
rankle in ones flesh during this
mortal life than be a party to the
further Cutting of Grant, the mer-
cenary vuigarian and vampire,
whom the Republican party adopt
ed as its Presidential candidate to
save itself from defeat.

ton Conference and Son OF the late Rev

a very able discourse in the M. J

ch. 42l verse of Matthew. Mr.. r. took
rs the basis of his discourse the div unity
of Christine inter, sted his hearers inshi.
appropriate Introductory remarks and
held their attention by his eloquent
manner Of handling the subject.
Mr.. Thompson sustained the doctrine
Of the divinity of Christ by prophecy
100 years before his coming into this
world; seven hundred years before his
advent the time that he should come
was prophecied, and five hundred years
before the precise place OF his birth was
announced. Each Of these POINTS were
fully established.
The second point was the history and
life Of Christ which vas forcibly set
forth and proved him to be- more than
mere man. On this point he pre-
sented as second testimony the
words of Napoleon BOnararte to a
friend who visited him at his prison
home on tie Isle of Sr. Helena. Cesar,
Alexander and Napoleon conquered and
established empires by lorce alone.
Jesus Christ established his kingdom
by love, and to-day there are millions
who would sacrifice their lives for
Christ AID his cause; but where is the
man that would give his life for Cesar,
Alexander OK NaE oleon. aver that
Jesus Christ was more than human; he
was divine, were the words of Nspo-
leon.
In the closing part the Rev. gentle
man became more especially eloq uent

kunerHlltlOn in Wales.

Before police court in tho town of
Meath, Wales, a fortnight ago, William
Sparks was summoned for beating
Speranza Riley. He admitted the
ASSAULT, but pleaded Justification of a
remarkable character. He declared
that women professed to tell fortunes
and went about the country swindling
people. He had been trying to make
cheese, but four of them "went to a
jelly" in the process. After he had
beaten the woman his cheese came out
perfectly. When asked if he believed
the woman to be witch he replied
that he YVES sure Of it, and when fined
ten shillings and costs he said that this
was better than having bis property
spoiled. In remote parts of Wales the
belief in witchcraft and in many old
is still prevalert, but it is
amazing that in flourishing town of
nearly 1000 Inhabitants such defence
should have been conscientiously
offered.
