THE BATTLE OF THE SNAKES.
Philadelphia Times.

At half past Que o'clock yesterday
morning, as the private Waterman
at the Dime Museum was going his
rounds he had his attention attract
ed by unusual loud noNes coming
from the third story of the building
Upon Fastening thither he found the
python, the largest snake in captivi'
ty (seventeen feet) 10 deadly combat
with an anaconda, twelve feet long.
How long they had been fighting the
Waterman did not know, bat he
says that from the time his attention
was attracted by the noise up
stairs until half past seven, bis hour
for going off duty, they kept up q
continuous warfare. When one
would miss his aim and strike the
side of the cage the sound could be
distinctly heard on the ground or
auditorium floor. The python, after
uumberless bouts with his oppo,
nent, seemed to have gathered all
his strength for final attack, which
was made. The anaconda was
ready, and placing themselves in an
almOst upright position they made
for each other with fearful rage.
After having carried on deadly CON,
bat for fully six hours the python
made last desperate lunge and
succeeded in getting the anaconda's
head in his mouth to the depth of at
least three feet, and holding it 10
this dissdvantageous position for
some time at last commenced to coil
around the anaconda until it it actu-
all ground and mashed the life out
of it. The Waterman says he never
wants to witness another such bat
tie. He had no key to the case,
and even if be had it is doubtful i'll
he would have had the temerity to
undertake to separate.

A CURIOSITY IN CHIRoGRAPHY.-
We saw on Tuesday last a postal
card upon which were Inscribed in
legible characters, without any alb.
breviations, two thousand four huns
dred aud fif'y-two words. The card
was addressed to lady in Harrison.
burg, Va, and the writing was done
with an ordinary hard lead pencil, a
good portion Of it by the light of q
lamp. The letters were so distinct
ly formed that every word could be
read by person with good eye
sight without the aid of msgnifyipg
glass. No glass was used in writ-
ing. 10 the center Of circle, the
size of gold dollar 10 the middle of
the card, was inscribed the Lords
prayer. This remarkable feat of
penmansbip wass executed by Mr..
Charlie M. Brand, a compositor in
this office, and we take the liberty Of
challenging any typo in the state to
beat it. Our foreman proposes to
do it, but we shall be skeptical as to
bis ability until it is demonstrated.

HArCHING A CROCODILE ON THE
MANTEL.

About ak months ago Charles Adj
ding.on, of Sacremeuto, CAL, son of
Mrs. w. H. Coket, of Auburn, car
ried home bunch Of bananas
Among the bananas he found small
egg, abou. the size of that of a ca
nary. His wife took the egg and
put it in a small covered toy dish on
the msntelpiece. During fair week
Mr., Addiugton's sister went down
from Auburn, and while in her
brothers house very naturally in
spected the toys and ornaments in
sight. She lifted the lid of the said
little di,h, but dropping it, with q
scream that attracted the household,
jumped back and tremblingly wants
ed to know what kind of an animal
they had in that dish. None, they
all insisted. After due argument
and not little amusement at what
was believed the sisters imagination,
the lid was carefully raised, and
sure enough out jumped an animal.
la the excitement of the moment
Mr. Addington put his foot on it and
killed it. 1t was of the crocodile
species, from four to five inches in
length, and it had been hatched
from the little egg put there some
six moths previously. Pieces of
the egg>shell still remained 10 the
dish, but some bird seed that was in
the dish when the egg was put there
had all been consumed, and on this
alone had the snimal subsisted. As
a case of self.incubation and sus-
pended animation this would afford
interest to the scientists. Placer

A BABY As A BEARS PET.

AuO NHtSV \OaihotuioI AsOOVtu
tells this story: Henry Flynn, who
resides up in the hills near Iuk ship,
is 10 town to-day, and had the fol.
lowing incident to relate, in which O
bear of the Gilman species abduct'
ed his three year old daughter, MOI
with any desire to harm the child
but through strange kind OF affec'
ton. 1t appears that Mr.. Flynn
started one morning TO take horse
to pasture, about two miles distant
from his house, and as bis little girl
seemed anxious to go, he put her
upon the horses back and let her
ride short distance, perhaps forty
rods from the house, where he put
her down and told her to run home.
He noticed that she continued stand>
ing where he left her, and 90 look
ing back, after going little further,
saw her playing iu the sand. He
soon passed out of sight and was
gone about sn hour, expecting, of
course, that the child would return
to the house after playing few mo-
ments. On returning home he made
Inquiry about her of her mother,
who said she had not seen her, and
supposed he hsd taken her along
with him. On going to the spot
where be had left her he saw huge
bear tracks in the sand, and at once
came to the conclusion that the child
had been carried off by the bear.
The family Immediately made
search through the forest which was
grown up to almost jungle, render
ing their search very slow. All day
these anxious parents searched for
trace of their child ; nor did they
stop when darkness came on, but
remained in the woods, calling the
lost one by her name. Morning
came, and their search was fruitless.
A couple of gentlemen from below,
who are travelling through the noun
tains buying stock, came to the
house, and, being Informed of the
circumstances, Immediately set out
to fod her. The gentlemen wan
dered about, and as they were pass
lug swamp spot where the under,
growth was thick heard her voice
They then called her name and told
her to come out of the bushes. She
replied that the bear would not let
her. The men then crept through |
the brush, and when near the spot
where she and the bear were they
heard splash in the water, which
the child said was the bear. On
going to her they found her stand
ing upon log extending about half
way across the swamp. The bear
had undertaken to GLOSS the swamp
on log, aud being pursued left the
child and got away as rapidly as
possible. She had received some
scratches about the face, arms and
legs, and her clothes were almost
torn from her body; out the bear
had not bitten her to hurt her, only
the marks of his teeth being found
on her back, where, in taking hold
of her clothes to carry her, he taken
the flesh also.
The little one says the bear would
put her down occasionally to rest,
and would put bis nose up to her
face, when she would slap him, and
the bear would hang his head by her
side, and purr and rub against her
like a cat. The men asked her if
she was cold 10 the night and she
told them the old bear lay down be-
side her, and put his farms" around
her and kept her warm, though she
did not like his long hair. She was
taken home to her parents.
