Snakes I'm Deadly Combat,

BALTIMORE, October 29.-At Lalf-past
one o'clock yesterday morning, as the
private watchman at the Dime Museum
was going his rounds he had his atten-
tion attracted by unusually loud noises
coming from the third story o. the
building. Upon Fastening thither he
found the python, the largest snake Ia
captivity (seventeen feet) in deadly
combat with an anaconda twelve feet
long. How long they had been fight.
ing the watchman did not know, but
he says that from the time his attention
was attracted by the noises up stairs
until half.p past seven, his hour for going
off duty, they kept up a 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 numberlesS bouts with
his opponent, seems 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 their deadly combat for fully
six hours the python made last des,
perate lunge and succeeded in getting
the anaconda's head in his mouth to
the depth of three feet, and holding it
in this position for some time at last
commenced to coil itself around the
anaconda until it actually ground and
mashed the life out of it. The watch.
man says he never wants to witness
another such q battle. He had nc
key to the case, and even if he had il
is doubtfu if he would have had the
temerity to undertake to separate the
reptiles.

A JuAt decision.

A curious lawsuit involving the
question of what Is the whole duty of
a fireman has just been remanded for a
new trial by the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin. While the Beckwith House
AZ Oshkosh was burning, s. H. Paige
made an offer of $1,000 to any one who
would rescue his wife. Charles Rief, q
fireman on duty at the time, saved the
woman and claimed the money, but
was nonsulted in the Circuit Court. On
appeal the Supreme Court has reversed
that judgement, closing its opinion as
follows: 'Inasmuch as the plaintiff
could not rescue the body of Mrs. Paige
from the burning building without i'm
ment peril of losing his own life, and
inasmuch as 1t was not his duty as o
paid officer and member of the fire de-
partment to do so, he is in q position to
claim the reward alleged to have been
offered by the defendant for such res
cue."

LAST Saturday was the centennial
anniversary of the birth Of JOHN
CALDWELL CALHOUN, the most in
tellectual OF Southern statesmen,
and who, more than any other of his
day, impressed upon the men of his
section his peculiar views of the
Constitution Of the United States.
He possessed a subtle power of
analysis given to but few in any age,
which enabled him to balance with
almost faultless. accuracy hypothesis,
and by the might Of his intellect and
the force Of predjudice evolve con-
illusions which blinded both himse!(
and his followers- His logic was as
bold and incisive as the scalpel, and
In the arena OF debate his great
mental powers oyertopped all others.
