A MOMENT OF TERROR.

An exciting scene took place at a
ball somewhere in Mississippi last
summer. Among the persons pres
ent was young lady who had a
great horror of snakes, and after
dancing a while she was greatly
alarmed by feeling a sensation as
though a serpent had fixed itself in
the folds of her dress. Grasping the
head of the monster tightly in her
grasp, she screamed aloud for assist
ance. A hasty consultation among
the calmest of the ladies was held,
when it was determined that DIR. TIN
son, who was present, should be
called to their assistance. He was
quickly on the spot, and, being Il
man of uncommon courage, was not
many moments within the circle of
weeping, half-fainting females before
he had caught the tail of the snake
and wound it firmly around his hand,
telling Miss NJ. she must let 90 the
moment he jerked, and to make the
act as instantaneous as possible he
told her he would pronounce the
words one. two, three, and that at
the moment he pronounced the last
word she must let 90 her hold, and
that he doubted not he could with
draw the snake before it could have
time to strike. All stood in breath
less horror awaiting the act of life or
death, and the moment three was
pronounced the doctor jerked ont the
largest and most diabolical looking
hustle that was ever seen in Missis-
sippi. The whole affair was soon
explained, the fastening of the ma
chine had become loose during the
dancing, and it had shifted its posi-
ton in such way that it dangled
about, and induced the belief that it
was a snake with an enormous head:
The doctor fell right down in his
tracks, and-he did

GREELEY'S LAST VISIT TO
THE TRIBUNE"

A correspondent of the London
Life gives the following touching ac-
count of the great American editors
last visit to the editorial rooms of the
paper he founded:
What an end was his | know
not sadder story than of his final
appearance in the much-loved, famil-
lar office of the Tribune, the scene of
all his past glories. 1t was after his
crushing defeat in that rash, ill-con-
sidered attempt to become President
of the United States-the out-crop-
ping of personal and political ambi-
ton altogether unworthy of him, and
of which he never had been suspect
ed. Dismayed at his failure and the
consequent falling off in circulation,
the stockholders of the Tribune had
ruled out some of his editorials. Il
have received orders,' said honest,
sorrowful Tom Rocker, the foreman
of the composing-room, "to no long

comrade by the hand, Horace an

Goodbye, Tom; l shall never dark

HOW TO CATCH A BEAU.

Little lady, do you ask me,
How to catch beau?
Surely you. winsome lassie,
Surely you should know.
Let me tell you. en- passant.
That there are many ways,
But will only mention to you
Those that win mems praise.
When your friend drops in to see you,
Greet with happy face.
Laugh and sing and sparkle brightly
With your rarest grace;
But. with all your pleasant humor,
Though you wear fin lace,
Ne'er forget your mothers labors
And her care-worn face.
Learn to labor-help your mother
In the household cares;
Learn to bake to cook and iron
Don't learn idle airs.
True, a man does not deserve you
If he'd make you slave;
But recollect that men, though rich,
Love women who can save.
Learn to be good. true woman;
Master every art
That to home and those you love best
Pleasure can impart;
School your mind an d heart and fingers,
Learn what you should know,
And then you ne'er need ask the question
How to catch a beau?

THE LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at my organ,
was weary and i'll at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly,
Over the ivory keys.
l knew not what was playing,
Or what was dreaming then,
But struck chord of music
Like the sound of great amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close of an angels palm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With torch of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love o'ercoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence
AS if 1t were loath to cease.
have sought, but seek it yainly,
That one lost chord divine
Which came from the soul of the organ
And entered into mine.
1t may be that Deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again
1t may be that only in heaven
shall hear that grand Amen.

Chicago, @.-The markets on ichSnge
suffered another break this morning. The
forenoon session was marked by uD-
easiness and, at times, great excitement.
The depression in prices extended in the
provision and grain market So well, but
was more especially felt in pork and
wheat. Pork has shown q steady and
heavy decline the past three days and
this morning took another tumble Of 42]<
70 80 cents, and lard descended ~ to q,
making the quotation for July option
less than that touched on Saturday made
notable By the failure fMcGioch. Wheat,
which has displayed weakness for the
past week, dropped II to % cents q
bushel in addition to day. Those declines
renewed all the uneasiness Of the past
two weeks, and an announcement was
made at noon that II. 0. Kennoa and
j. Sinclair had euccumbed. They have
been dealing in grain, but are not rated
az very extensive dealers. One cause
assigned for the unusual weakness dis
played By the market is owing TO the
bad showing madeby the firms Of Me-
GiOeh, Cunningham & Co. and n. S.
Nichols il Co., and particularly the lat
ter firm from whom better reports SIS to
assets had been anticipated.
