eggs. The poor, faithful little Ameri-
can hen is no longer able to cater TO the
finely-trained palates of these ideal
dudes. In her stead eggs produced By
the patrician hens of Denmark, Ger
many, Hungary and Italy are all the
rage now. Each dozen is packed sepa-
rately in small, deicately-msde boxes,
bearing the csat-ef-arms or the coronet
of some count, earl or grand duke, with
a certificate over the signature of the
nobleman that the eggs were laid on
his premises by fowls of long aristo-
cratic linesge, and were gathered and
packed under the supervision of the
noble butler.
This is new departure even for
New York. Heretofore the fashionable
Knickerbocksr or Plymouth Rock hen
has been relied upon to furnish the
eggs necessary for the table of the
wealthy Wall street operator, the aris-
tocratic soap boiler, the patrician brew
er or the rich politician who dates his
rise from the immortal Tweed. But
these will no longer serve. They are
too dem ncratic. Plain people in Brook
lyn or Hartford who do not care where
their eggs come from, so they are fresh,
may and do eat such and welcome. But
the noble New Yorker spurns them
with the contempt which is their d e.
The American hen is thus eclipsed.
Her honorable Efforts are despised.
Her larger and fresher eggs are reject
ed for the smaller iruit of the noble
fowls of Europe. While the American
hen is thus pushed aside, the American
rooster still holds his own. His portrait
holds its place on the banners of great
panty and in the newspapers after an
election. While he remains cock of
the walk, the cry has gone forth, Down

A Genuine Whip- Snake.

Mr.. D. B. Taylor, of Pineville Town
ship, killed a genuine whip-snake on
the plantation of Mr.. Joe. Weeks Tues
day. The snake was first seen coming
across the field with his head erect
some ten inches from the ground, and
as he came near the wagon, in which
were seated Mr.. Taylor and some boys,
he lashed his tail against the wheel,
making every eff 1rt to reach those in
the wagon. The cracking of his tail
produced loud noise similar to large
horsewhip, striking verv rapidly and
with much force. Mr.. Taylor procured
rock, and, hitting the snake, stunned
him, when one of the boys ran up and
cut eff his head. One half of lis bedy
was black and OF uniform size, suggest
ing the handle OF a whip, the other half
was smaller AMI of lighter color, with
dark marks, which resemblei the plsit-
ing of a large whip lash. The snake
was six feet long. and fine specimen
of the whip snske.-Cnarlotte Va.

the mother turned around iu,t in time
to see the little fellow disappear through

screaming down stairs and into the
street, but, instead OF finding the man

basket of an old wom IN who had pro-
videntially been passing at the moment,
while the dame stood by with upraised
hands, wondering where on earth the
little stranger nad come from. Mrs.

A Very Pliiful Sort OF Tragedy.
From the Savannah News

A Canton correspondent narrates the
story of a boys suicide, as follows: ga
little eight-year-old son of Mallolen M.
Donald, living about twelve miles north
east of this place, on the Etowah river,
suicide last Monday by jumping in the
river. The deceased, younger and
an older brother, at work in the field,
became thirsty and started TO the jug
that contained the water. In their
hurry and glee the younger brother
outran the others and drank first. This
made the deceased mad and he drew
his knife, unbuttoned his shirt collar
and said be would cut his throat. The
older brother stopped him and told h i'm
h. would tell his father. The boy then
said he was tired of living, anyhow,
and would go and drown himself,' and
started toward the river. His brothers
watched him until he got about fifty
yards away and then, thinking perhaps
he did not mean to carry out his
threats, IAN after him and when they
arrived at the river saw nothing of their
brother, only his hat floating down the
river. Their ran to the house after help
and in about two hours afterwards the
lifsless body of their young brother was
found on the bottom of the river"
