Great Snakes.

If you will come down into the en-
gine-room will show you tho largest
snake you ever saw. These bosses hold
huge pythons, which were taken at
Sandabunt, near Calcutta" In the en-
gine-room there were two large dry
goods boxes and a number of visitors.
Mr.. Hagenbeck, armed with a stout
cudgel and piece Of carpet raised the
lid Of the larger box. There were five
of the largest snakes ever brought to
America. The largest was twenty feet
long and seven inches through. They
writhed around the box, coiling them
selves into innumerable hard and double
knots, and discounted the alcoholic SER
pent in realistic effect. An inquisitive
observer stuck his head over the box and
presented fine mark for the big snake.
who would certainly have disfigured his
countenance If it had not been hamper
ed by his companions, 1t had to be
pounded on the head with stick before
it would retire, and the timid members
of the company armed themselves with
rakes and hoes and viewed the second
box from a safe distance. The snakes
had not been fed for three months. -

American Women Of Letters.

We do not mean to be ungallant, and
the ladies will please pardon us; but
have we any American women Of let
tersp American men Of letters we GER
tainly have--or have had, men worthy
to stand by the side of any but the very
chief of the men of letters across the
sea; but where in America can we find
a George Eliot or Mrs. Browning?
I'm France alone" once said George
Eliot, ''if the writings of women were
swept away, serious gap would be
made in the national history" We
know of but one American woman's
writing, which if swept away" would
make "a serious gap in the national
history" That is Mrs, Stowe,s "Uncle
Toms Cabin" And Uncle Tom
Cabin" is not literature; twas scenic
effect; and Mrs Stoves later writings
have not confirmed her seat in our
pantheon.
We have had our Anne Bradstreet,
our Hannah Adams. our Phillis Wheat
ley, our Mrs Sigourney, our Margaret
Fuller, our Alice and Phoebe Cary, our
Fanny Fern. And who were thesep
OF Margaret Fuller, doubtless we shall
hear and know more. Hers is loom
ing figure as the past recedes. She is
in some sense, though with many diff
ferences, of course, the Poe Of her sex,
u riddle not yet read, victor not yet
crowned. Two lives of her are now in
preparation; her star is rising.
As for living women, there are plenty
Of authors among them-writers of po-
etry, writers of novels, writer's Of books
for boys and girls; but who of them will
come forward and claim the lurel above
her sisters? The woman of letters must
have some masculnity in her compost
ton; her finer metal must be streaked
with iron ore; she must carry the sledge-
hammer in her hand as well as wear
the flower at her throat. She must be
a Miriam, a Deborah-prophetess as
well as poet; woman who fathoms
PHILOSOPHERS as well as fashions; who
can thunder as well as tighten.
Our American literary women are
tender, sweet, persuasive, soothing.
They write us smooth verses in the
magazines. They sing us lullabes by
the cradle. They tell clever stories.
Once in while they burst out with a
battle-hymn, or catch the secret of child
hood on the point of their pens, or re-
cover the jewel of character from the
mire of conventionality. What is SAKE
HolmP Is it woman' The most
meaning voice in the chorus of the hour
is from behind n mask; the most bril-
liant penwoman of to-day is soured in
temper; the most passionate is morbid.
There is room on the stage for large
framed, strong-limbcd, bright-eyed,
loving hearted, whole-souled, quick
handed American woman of letters.

''Oh, of course. Corn was just in the
susceptible state We shan't have any
corn this year"
"The farmer must be discouragedp'
Entirely so. My hostler was telling
me that the milkman told him that the
owner Of the dairy had seen a farmer
who said he should pillow up his orch
ard and try to raise crop of late pota-

"Indeed! Still, if we have late fall
