A Monster Alligator.


Reuben Cloud, who lived in the lower part
of this county, and who, by the way, is a
crack shot with his rifle, recently killed the
largest alligator seen in this section in years
His 'gatorship had been depredating for a
long while upon the cattle and hogs of those
farmers living in the fork of Spring creek and
Flint river, and many had been the rifle balls
that had 1attened against his adamantine
skull, to no purpose. He had taken up his
abode in large, deep lagoon in that locality,
and at eventide aud in the early morning his
bellowings could be heard for miles, almost
equaling in terrible force the roar of the lion.
Learning his haunts, Mr.. Cloud set to work to
kill him, and one day recently, filling his pow
der horn with powder, and shot bag with
bullets, set forth to hunt him. He found him
summing on q log, and, fearing that he would
become alarmed, shot him first at about 100
yards, in the hinder part of the body. This
shot entered the bowels, and the writings of
the monster were fearful to behold, and cre-
ated commotion in the water almost equal
to herd of wild horses He soon sought
landing, however, and crawled out again upon
q treetop believing like a mad bull. Draw
ing higher, Mr.. Cloud continued to perforate
his abdominal cavity until no less than
dozen half-ounce rifle balls were lodged in
him, and he lay still, dead He was then
drawn out, skinned and his head taken OFF
for the tusks and teeth The monster meas
ured IL feet 6 inches from the tip of nose to
end of tail, and feet inches from end to
end Of fore feet across the back, and would
have weighed probably 800 pounds His skin
was brought to town and sold on Saturday.
SiXty-hve of his teeth and tusks weighed one
and half pounds. His stomach contained
parts OF the remains of one or more lar &c hogs.

A DREAM AND THE REALITY.
by STANLEY HuHTLBY.

"And have you never felt the power"
The insinuating Drummer said,
THAT cones to all in some sweet hour,
And brings hope we thought were deadi
Have you not heard a melody,
A halfforgotten withered strain,
That once was fradght with harmony,
Butnow comes like sob of paint"
The fair ones soft lash swept her cheek,
She sighed, but offered not TO speak.
"And so with me since first we met"
The Drummer murmured soft and low,
THE breath Of faded mignonette
Comes back to me from long ago.
IT may be from some boyish dream.
That in fairy harp inshrined
The notes, that like moon ray CLEAN,
When your fair hands the chords unbindw
A hot tear dimmed the fair ones cheek,
She sobbed, but never sought to speak
Come tell me, by what simple art"
The Drummer whispered in her ear,
"You stir the music in my heart,
And bring the old perfume so near2
What witchery do you possess
That brings presence close TO me,
Aud teaches me to love and bless
doom feel, but cannot seer"
The fair one never deigned to speak
While her husband thumped the Dru mmeI

A Romantic NohIsmnn.

" The famous French danseuse Mile Rosita
Mauri, had occasion short time ago to dis
miss her valet-de-pied on account of numer-
Gus embezzlements, and on looking out for a
substitute was interviewed by handsome
and elegant young man, giving the name of
Leon, who possessed the requisite number of
inches and, on producing the most undenia-
bic references, was at once accepted. Leon was
pronounced on all sides to be a treasure,
and everything went well until one morn ing
when he brought Mile. Mauri's chocolate into
her boudoir, He apparently forgot himself
and, falling on his knees, made the most vio-
lent protestatiOns of his love for her. Highly
indignant the lady rang her bell and ordered
him TO be turned out of the house, when the
pseudo valet disclosed himself aud proved to
be the Marquis CASTOR do Brincourt; a
wealthy nobleman, whose letters Mile. Mauri
had always left unanswered, and who
had adopted this means of getting near the
object of his devotion. He was naturally
obliged TO give up his place, but as the bou-
quet and bracelet, which he forwarded the
same evening were not sent back to him,
there is yet a chance that tho dancer will
consent TO become Madame la Marquise, and
that the stage will be deprived of one of its
brightest ornaments.

A soRRowFUL HONEYMOON.

no time to cook supper. l said to her,

she loved the salvation army better than she

Monkeys.
Rel0r0,,jn

The monkey is not fool-ce rtanly not "a
fool of the greatest size," as Christ:ana would
say. In fables it is often the butt of other
creatures, but it is its inquisitiveness as ule
that gets it into trouble, not its folly. The
poets describe it as half an idiot and with very
bad intentions-'ju skille to know the
right and choose the wrong,"-but ha We so
often myself taken advantage in their wild
forest state of their generous credulity and
otherwise laudable thirst for knowledge that
speak as an expert when l say that though
have harmlessly astonished them with trains
OF gunpowder, and frightened whole COM
munity out of all gravity by painting one of
their number an agreeable vermillion, L
never saw anything in their behavior sober
or drunk, composed or alarmed, that led me
to think them particularly foolish, as COM
pared with men. Indeed, when undisturbed
in mind the monkey has philosophical grav-
ity which compels admiration, although
confess the alternating fits of monkey frivol-
lty and indecorum exasperate me.
Since Father Noah squeezed the grape
And took to such beuaving
AS would have shamed our grands.re ape
Before the days of shaving.
If they would only sit still little longer
aud look me fairly in the eyes ! should like
to ask the monkey, baboon, or ape some ques-
tions of which the solutions interest me

when evidently the most content? And
where is the missing link? Is it true that
they speak among themselves in Hngua
trdncd of their own, and that under the in
fiuence of hidden panic they can articulate? Z?
remember once in India, at the Allahabad
club, a monkey calling in frenzy of terror
to its native attendant by name. 1t had seen
cobra coming toward it, and distinctly ar
ticulated its masters servants name-and
this more than one person vouched for. Is
then the tradition correct that monkeys re-
fuse to talk lest they should be made to work
Play ut dummy like the monkeys
For fear mankind should make them f1unkeys
should like, too, to ask them about the
dog-faced men Of Tartary and the Soko and
the Pongo, Susumete, and Eugeena, and to
get at the truth about Du Chaillus gorillas.
But as they are, the monkeys are impossible
in conversation. They are too sudden, too
unforeseen in their transformations from sense
to ribaldry to be rational, too furtive in ex-
preston to be straightforward in reply, too
fond of scratching neighbors to keep to the
point. What a curious community of fur
this is, by the way l know nothing like it,

was fishing in the river one day last week
accompanied by his dog. Overcome by the
heat he lay down on the bank for nap. He
was awakened by the bowling of his dog,
and found the brute in the coils Of an i'm
mense snake. When he attacked tho latter
it unwound itself fiom the dog and paid its
respects TO Schiedt. He escaped by swim
ming the river, and reported what he had
seen in the city on his arrival home. Every
body laughed at him, and the next day q
party on picnic visited the mound. While
munching their sandwiches the believing OF
q COW was heard. A little distance away the
animal was found with snake wound around
its body. The bones of the unfortunate
creature cracked like pistol report at each
turn Of the serpent, which was twenty feet
long and foot in diameter. The picnic
party fed without cerepony. A large party
is now searching for the snake.

A MORMON COUPLE WI TIL HIS
TORY.
Their Connection with the Logan-Adkins
Ranch Troubles.

Their Connection with tho Logsn-Adkins
Ranch Troubles.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. MacAllister, of Socorro, N.
NJ, passed through this city last Monday,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat, on their
way to Chicago. Mrs. MacAlister, whose
maiden name was Mabel Young, is the
daughter of Brigham Young by his third
wife, and Mr.. MacAllster is one of the dea-
cons in the Mormon church, which has a
settlement near Socorro.
In the difficulties arising at the time of the
sale of some ranches to Senator Logan and
Gen. Adkins Mr.. MacAllister played very
conspicuous part. The sale to Senator Logan
and Adkins was of six ranches, and the par
ties making the sale were only able to de-
liver five of the ranches. The sixth ranch
was owned by two men who were unwilling
to part with it, and the party who made the
sale determined to oust them by force. For
this purpose a company of twelve men was
gotten together and sent over the ranch with
orders to kill any one they met in the shape
of man.
Five Of the party, namely, two Caseys,
Scott, Moore, and MacAllister came upon the
two men who were holding the ranch while
they were riding along the road in wagon.
They were halted, taken from wagon, tied
to tree, ana shot. MacAllister was an un-
willing member of the party, and was not
present when the killing took place.
Casey and Scott, not being considered safe
in the Albuquerque Jail, for thore was an
effort to lynch them, were taken to Santa Fe
where they now are
Mrs. MacAllister is brunette, very beau
tiful, and only 10 years of age, having been
married when she was 16.

Some Western Snakes.


Illinois has developed wonderful brood of
serpents the current season. At Lyttleville,
in this county. seven reliable persons testify
to having met in the highway a snake of pro-
digious size, which has frightened horses and
disturbed the dreams of Eve decendants
The snake is fifteen feet long, according to all
statements, black on the back and greenish
blue on the sides. Its eyes are as large as
marbles, and beneath its mouth is sac as
large rs Il two-quart jug. Its habitate is in
the vicinity of a field of rye, which the owner
dare not enter, although it has been ready for
moving for several weeks.
Mr.. G.. w. Adams, veracious citizen OF
Downs township also in this county, stepped
over what he supposed to be big log in the
path near creek on his farm. Investigation
proved 1t to be serpent, twenty feet in
length, taking nap. lie went to several of
his neighbors and they organized a.posse for
the capture Of the reptile, but ON their re-
turn il had fed. Weeds were broken down
for long distance, and ITS course of flight
could be easily traced Mr.. Adams has lived
in Mclean county for fifty years, but he
never saw the like,
Three miles below Joliet on the Des-
PLANES river, is famous Indian mound,
from which many prehistoric relics have been
secured. IL is also point Of interest to pic
nickers and fishermen. Anthony Schiedt
