A 5000 Year Old Snake.

| 1--WE want to see the BIZ snake.
| Such was the request made OF Mr., -.
Nj. Lienhardt in explanation OF 4 ring
at the door-beil OF his residence, No.
1925 Poplar street yesterday morning.
| On the steps were gathered ahalt-dOZen
children belonging in that neignborhood
ranging in age from to II years. who
cautiously inquired if the serpent We're
/ Likely TO harm them. They were told
| that no harm would bcfalI them, and so
| the little ones entered No sooner had
| the door closed when another tug ut the
| bell informed Mr.. Lienhardt that more
callers were waiting TO be admitted to
satisfy their curiosity. This time the
visitors proved to be adults, and 50 Il
steady stream of men, women, and
children kept up all day, much To the
/ discomfort of the obliging owner OF the
thing which many had come for -quarcs
around to see. Entering the hail tie
spectators behc!d q petrlied snake IL
feet lone and 20 inches in circumference
weighing over so pounds,
1t WAS found one month ago imbcddcd
in u coal vein in one of the mines Of the
| Leonard Coal company, in Centre
county, Pennsylvania. the miner who
ran across the remarkable specimen Of
petrifaction many hundred feet beneath
the oarth's surface was thundcrstruck
at the discovery, and experienced some
thing like cold chill down his back
for the first few moments after his pick
! brought to light the serpentS head. He
called his comrades and they aided him
in digging it ont. II had to be cut into
sixteen sections before it was gotten
out of the vein. The snake was eXhib-
tied for several days i'll n hut near the
mine, and people for miles around flock
cd to see The strange thing the like Of
which. it was said, had never been seen
in those parts. An officer of the Leon
ard Coal company obtained possession
of it, and had it on private exhibition
for several days at his Office, No. POI
Walnut place. He soon became tired
of the rush, which included brokers and
business men, to his Office to get q
glimpse of the pctriiod snake, so he
presented it to its present owner. The
latter has also been run down by visit
ors, but his love for curiositics is so
great that he would sooner put up
with such annoyance than part with his
present
The snake is of dark lead color.
Its head, body, and tail are wonderfully
well preserved, the outlines being quite
distinct, II is somewhat Halted on top
and through the centre Of the body is 4
ridge an inch in depth.
A wcll-inlOrmci naturalist. connected
with the Academy Of Natural Sciences,
examined the thing for two hours on
Saturday last lie said it was the best
pctriicd specimen he ever saw, and he
claims to be well up in that line The
ridge he explained as being due to the
wasting away of portion of the en-
trails and undigcstcd food previous to
the time when petrifaction set in. He
claims that the snake was fully six
thousand years old, and belonged to n
species now found in certain portions of
Africa. -Phiiadclphia record.

How Ta3 Tiny 5iat To@ia 1at.ago, |

How Ta1 Thy 5Ist IoHi1 Ching,
Iaro,n early this u#gia- ua went
to the stock wards. where, ]. is said,
they kill, dra,, amt Ur... Il steer in one
minute though, this Il gross cyaggcr-
alton, but when saw apig put through
its performance in - seconds, ! can be-
lioyr the other story.
Phil Robinson, ia tina, very charming
book OF his called "@.luer, and Saints,
gives, to y nicely. the operations Of
pork killing rs carried OH in this city,
which is both graphic and elaborate.
A. cannot give Mr.. RoDin7ou's history
of the stock yards in full, / might con
dense the same.
For instance, we saw piebald pig
grunting and suorting in his pen, 4
quarreling member OF a qnarrelsomo
family Now. what happened to that
porker was this; He was suddenly seiz-
ed by the hind leg and ierkcd up on q
small crane. This swung him swiftly to
the fatal door through which no pig ever
returns. On the other side stood man
with u glittcring knife in his hand. One
plunge, of the cruel weapon in his fan
fat neck, and the dead pig Shot across
trough and through another doorway,
and then there was splash. He had
fallen head first into a vat OF boiling
water. Some unseen machinery passed
him along swiftly to the other end OF
the terrible bath. aud there a water
wheel picked him up and flung him out
on slipping counter Here another
machine seized him, and with one rev.
olution scraped him rs bald Is 4 nut.
And down the counter he went, losing
his head as he slid past q man with q
Ratchet, and then presto! he was up
again by the heels. In one dreadful
handful a man emptcd him, and while
another squirtct him with fresh water,
the g-rcgisterinr his own weight rs
he passed the tellcr's boX-shot down Z
steel bar from winch he hung, ano
whirled around the corner into the Ice
house. One long cut OF 4 knife made
two ''sidcs of pork out OF that piebald
pie. Two hacks OF Ratchet brought
away his backbone. And then in b
seconds from his last grunt-dirty, hot
headed noisy-the pig was hanging W
in two pieces, cleaned, traquilcd iced.
Think of il. That poor and most un
fortunate porker, who, before he hat
quite made up his mind whether TO re-
sent the first liberty taken with his hind
leg, was dead rs a door nail, and hal
4 minute later was actually ready fol

Ease in Baltimore.

The languid gracefulnesS of the wo-
men of Baltimore, which is due to the
.cncrvating climate, and n multitude of
servants, and the half torpid, sleepy
quiet of the city, the result of the same
cause, has an undesirable charm for
the worried and hurried NOrtherner.
The people there are firm believers in
the maxim laid down by Emerson that
all haste is vulgar. They move about
.leisurcly and quietly, and speak with 4
slow sort of drawl, which to n nervous
person is almost cXasperating, but
which is the height of Southern culture.
Their opon.handed disposition is pro-
verbal, and in no part of America is
their politcness and courtesy exceeded.
They speak admirngly of the energy

have no ambition TO emulate them.
They do not mind being told, in public
or private, that they are behind the age,

Diversified Agriculture.

The Germantown PaD Ic2cgraph
unlike some other eastern papers, is al
ways willing to give the west its due
In Il iale issue it says:
The amazing success in American
agriculture in the last quarter of n CEN
fury Is very generally attributed to the
use Of improved machinery rs applied
to the cultivation of a few leading crops
but our own impression is firm anc
strong that no small share of this
work of success has been caused by the
enlarged development of more diyersi
fed crops, especially in the northern
and western states. In New York
state the Introduction into the rura
districts Of establishments of an eXten
siye scale for the manufacture Of butter
and cheese has produced results of st
much Importance that similar organi
cations arc now found in New Jersey
Pennsylvania, and most Of the north
western states. On the other hand. thg
immense grain-~rowing Interests Of the
northwest have developed on n pro
digious scale a system Of loca. grain
elevators established by the railroad
companies for the storage, purchase
and sale OF grain crops, which principle
will ultimately become universal in al

vote of four TO one CT. \ McNeal voting in
the negative) to impose fine of Sl2.50 on
each OF the -four places in this town known
to be selling liquor. This fine is for the
month of December, and will bring the
city a revenue of $50. This action of the
council will undoubtedly cause comment
but with full understanding of the case
nine persons ont OF ten Will agree with US
that the council was right. Liquor has
been sold here ever since the town had I'm
existence, the prohibition amendment only
having the effect of cutting Off the licenses
and depriying the city and county of val
nable source OF revenue. Ii has been nee
essry to keep marshal employed to pre-
serve order. So why not require those
who sell the liquor to pay for the marshal
and at the same time contribute to a fund
for the improvement of the streets and side
walks? 1t would seem that those who op-
pose iining the liquor sellers might be con-
sidered as fayoring free whiskey. To allow
matters to rInas they have means no reve-

amount OF $1,000, which took up 81. 500 in

ted five per cent for the cxchauge. This is
the last of the old court house debt OF
