"Sing, cat, sand, hope, moon, thin
ble," read n gentleman from a message
blank Of the Western Union telegraph
company as he stood in front of the rail
of the Office on Central Row this morn
ing; ''that's correct" As he passed the
paper through the small opening in the
wire screen to the receiving clerk he
added: ~ want that sSnt at once to
Paris. How much will it cost" =
"One.-two-three- four-fve - six"
said the clerk, as he ran his pencil over
the singular combination of words,
"Three dollars, please"
The gentleman paid the charge and
left the Office. The transaction was over
heard by u Post reporter, who at once
OWNED that the message was a ''cipher
dispatch" e~mbodying instructions to the
agents in Paris of the corporation, locat-
ed near Hartford, which the sender of
the dispatch represents. Seeking fur

porter addressed Manager ~Loundsbury,

charge of the transportation of foreign

Oh,MyBack!

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.

The Champio N snake Story.

Yesterday, turned up with the pillow.
share one of those Curiosities-a JOinted
snake. The reptile was about a yard
in length and was put together in four
sections. The darkey did not know
what sort of snake it was when 1t first
turned up and hit it with stick to kill
il. At the first blow the snake fell all
to pieces, the head part going one way
and the tail part another, and the two
BODY pieces Jumped off in different di-
rections. The amazed darkey resumed
his blowing, went to the end of the
furr0w, and on his return vas surprised
to see the snake together again, except
the tail piece, and, watching few
minutes, saw the tail coming up to join
the body, taking sharp, quick little
Jerks. II came nearer and nearer until
within few inches Of the three.quar-
ter snake, when it gave sudden jump
and hitched on in its proper place with
a fuss resembling the popping of cap:
The darkey knocked it to pieces several
times, and each time it came together
again. He carried his amusement too
far, however, in throwing the tail part
of the snake across the creek, just to
see, as he said, chow long it would take
10 eaten up" but it never caught ap.
The snake, with its three joints, was
carried to the house and the tail is no
doubt still going about the woods hunt
ing for snake to hitch on to.

THOSE WOMEN FOLK.


Anybody who has led domestic life knows
how common such things as the baekache,
and pains IN the chest, are among women
who do the work. Ofteu-and perhaps gen.
eralIy-ihe distresses are borne without much
complaint. Tie women get about, and the
machinery OF The house goes on. Beyond
this, those coarse-grained animals whUm
New England women call "tne men folks"
seldom lock. So long as their wives or
daughters are not actually N bed, under the
doctors care, the average thick-skinned hus-
band aud father gives the subject no atten-
ton. Al the same time the poor household
drudges-who deserve better fate-creep
around, broo'l or utensils In hand, up stairs,
own stair and out OF doors, doing that
womRnS work which ''is never done"
Losses of loved wives and fair girls-losses

A Waif From the Cyclone.

A little bog, just old enough to walk,
was found under some bushes near
Headland, in Henry county, the other
day, and no one knows where he came
from or why he was there. 1t is sur
missed, however, that the little fellow
is a waif of the late great storm that
swept over that section and over five
States. 1t is not unreasonable to sup
nose that the child had ride on the
wind to the spot where he was found
uninlured. He is now in the hands Of
good people and is doing well.

range them apparently to suit himself.
He looks like an ordinary seal brown
