The Snakes Ability to Charm.

A veritable instance of the peculiar
fascination which the snake exerts was
witnessed few days ago, within short
distance of our city. The gentleman
who saw this says he was walking leis-
urely along the road when his attention
was directed to the movements of a
brown thrush which was fitting about
near a small plum bush, and ut inter-
walls giving q cry, as of distress. He
walked up to the bush supposing he
would find q brood of young birds. He
looked carefully. but saw nothing. and
was walking OH, when he noticed that
the thrush had returned to the bush
from which he had frightened it. He
waited a moment to watch its move
ments, when he saw it fly down on the
ground beneath the plum. There it
stood still short while, then began to
circle around the bush. still crying in
its peculiar tones. This circling was
kept up for while, and then the thrush
seemed gradually to weaken and at
length stood perfectly still-immovable,
with its wings partly open, and with its
head bent forward. He drew nearer to
the bush, when he heard an ominous
hiss, and. looking down under the plum,
he saw large black snake cOiled up
and about to spring upon the bird. de
frightened the snake away and picked
up the bird, which made no effort to es-
cape, and seemed powerless. In few
minutes, however, the bird revived, and
shortly afterward few away.-PeteTs-
burg (Fa.) Irde=-Appeat.

Bounced

A practical case of paternal interfer-
ence in love affair occurred in a tony
neighborhood, says Louisville paper,
between ten and eleven o'clock last
night. The names are positively I'M
mentionable, but the facts are herewith
presented in full: A certain masher has
for some time been insisting upon being
employed as the son-in-law of a certain
well-known gentleman, who has per-
sistently refused to appreciate the young
mans desires. The girl in the case
thought differently from her father, and
continued to encourage her lovers
hopes, and frequently received visits
from him clandestinely. Friday night
he came once too often for the usual
blissful adieu. The old man had not re-
tired, as supposed by the lovers, who
were located on the front steps, and,
happening to look from an open win
dow, he espied the young man with his
arms around his daughters waist, in
the act of kissing her. He forthwith re-
solved to take time by the forelock and
bring matters to crisis. Passing out
through the rear of the house and yard,
he came around and suddenly confront
eu his unWelcOIue ElSlCOr. he CaugnG
him by the front lock and by the rear
as well, before the thing was over. He
seized him by his exquisite goatee and
mustache, and, holding him at arms
length, went for him like an Infatuated
Scotch terrier in a dog fight. and ever
lastingly disrupted the exquisite young
mans foundation for photograph, un-
til his daughter tainted with fright, and
the mother came screaming into the
yard in her night-clOthes. She succeed
ed in pulling the governor off the visit
ing gent, but the former broke away
from her and finished the reception by
kicking the masher clear out of the yard
into the middle of the street. Owing to
the lateness of the hour. the governor
succeeded in summarily dismissing the
young man without rousing the entire
or the commotion getting
to the ears of the police, in which event
the names of the parties could not, as
now, be suppressed, but would come out
in spite of all efforts to the contrary.
They may do so yet by way of suit for
damages.

Jumbo and the Baby Take o Bath.

The baby elephant bridgeport :"
took her first bath and "Jumbo" the
first he has had in this country, yester-
day, at Brattleboro, VT. A deep and
shady pool in Milestone Brook, con-
veniently near the circus tents, was
chosen. The baby came down to the
water with dainty, mincing motion,
dipped her toes into the drink, shivered
and partly withdrew, and then, urged
by the keepers prod, plunged boldly
in. Once in she seemed to enjoy the
wetting, and swan about, squirting
jets of water with her tiny trunk and
giving shrili grunts of satisfaction.
Jumbo appeared later and entered the
bath hardly less suspiciously. When
the first chill was over, however, he
Owed in head foremost, raising the gen.
eral level of the pool several inches aud
sending the waves rolling up against
the bank. He cavorted around, threw
a stream of water into the air with his
trunk, and then settled down into his
bath till only the top of his head and
the ridge of his back were seen. As he
rose, the water rolled from his sides
like cascades trickling over u rock bed.
In the evening the rest of the elephants
were given a bath, and for few mo-
ments the stream presented the appear
ance of pool in an East Indian Jungle
with herd of wild elephants at play

Fixing His Horse to Win.

The writer met the jockey of Ruther-
ford while dining at the Winter Palace
in St. Petersburg, short time after
that huge sporting wrangle, and, in the
course of a conversation on turf mat
tiers, the astute prodder of horse-f1esh
said. with a child-like and ingenious
smile, as he passed the beans: "Would
you like to know the dead inside facts
as to how that race was won9"
"Why, you rode Che best horse,
didn't your" we asked.
"Not a bit of it." replied the jockey,
with grin. "The fact was, that
Rutherford was only about the fourth
choice, and was not rated at more than
eighth or ninth in the pools. True
Blue, Katie Peace and Thad Stevens all
had the call over Ruthy. But it hap
pened that my horse was 'bolter,'
and to steady him and prevent his fly
inc the track / put binders and gog-
giles on him. You noticed them, l sup
pose"
"There were two horses rugged that
way" we replied.
Exactly; Stevens was nervous
critter, also, and as soon as his trainer
saw how the goggles steadied my horse
he put 'em on Thad, too. The day be-
fose the race big idea occurred to me.
l got couple of pair of magnifying
lenses and quietly put 'em in place of
the plain glasses in the goggles of both
horses. Catch on to the idea?'
"Well, partly"
"The only difference was, that in
Stevens brides fastened the glasses
with the bulge inside, so as to make
them diminishing glasses. Don't you
see?"
<.Like looking through the wrong
end of an opera glass. eh?'' EXACT
ly; the result was that, while Ruther-
ford was encouraged all the way by the
course seeming only couple of hun
dred yards long, the quarter flags ap-
peared ten miles apart to Stevens. You
see horse can be discouraged just as
well as man."
"Great scheme, that"
"Well, l should smile. Ruthy
thought he was in for little quarter
race, and it kept up his heart so that
when he had nearly done the last mile
and swung into the home stretch, and
l called on him to let out his last link,
he thought the Judges stand was right
under his nose, so he came home like
an express on a down grade, but
Stevens, who thought he had about fif-
teen miles further to 60, went all to
pieces, as you remember, and almost
laid down on the track. he was men
tally caved in. as it WERE"

genuineness of this story, but we de-
liver it to the intelligent reader at the
importers risk. for all that.-San Fran

Ohio ranks rs the third State in the
Union in the production of maple sugar.
Syrup is now the most profitable branch
OF the business, and last year there was
n most decided increase in its produc-
ton. Most of it is shipped to Eastern
cities. Ohio produced last year be-
tween 100000 and 100000 gallons of
syrup, and over 100000 pounds of
sugar. The product of the season of
1882 will be about the same.
The worlds production of lead is
about 40, 200 tons. The estimate for
Europe is as follows: Spain, 12O, 900;
Germany, 10000; England, $1,000;
France, 10000; Italy, 10000: Greece,

Russia, $4,000; making total of $780,
500 meter tons. The product of the
United States is estimated at 10000
tons. This places the United States the
second producing country in the
world. Spain leads US only in the
amount of 10000 tons, and has been
rapidly declining for the past few years
We are now consumers of about one
fourth of the worlds lead product, and
bid fair by another year to take rank as
the first, and capable of furnishing
surplus to the foreign markets.

Superstition in Massachusetts,.

There is great deal of superstition
yet remaining in the most civilized
States of the world. One of the most
recent illustrations of this comes from
Massachusetts,. At Fall River, about a
year ago a house belonging to an aged
blind woman was sold under fOreclos-
ure of mortage, and the old woman
cursed the parties concerned in the sale
and prayed that whoever took the house
might become blind. The purchaser,
another old lady, was deeply grieved by
her threats, and was never happy in the
house. Her health rapidly declined and
he took to her bed. For several weeks
before her death she was blind. and
ONE of her friends have thought that
he agitation caused by the old woman's
curses worked upon her imagination and
finally caused her death-Ez.
