Special Correspondence of the INrER-OcEAN.1
New YORK, Dec. 9.-The city was
thrown into a SILVER Of fear the other
day by a startling story in the Sun that
an enormous boa constructor in the
Central Park menagerie had escaped.
Strong men trembled as they hurried
down to business when they thought Of
their wives and little ones at home up
town, and they made arrangements for
themselves to stay at the Aston House
or some other downtown hotel that
night, letting wives and little ones shift
for themselves. The widest rumors
spread through the city; the monster
was reported to have been seen devour-
ing babies and nurse girls in the Park;
twas last seen playing havoc with the
Vanderbilt mansion on. Fifth avenue
It was, sixty feet long and after starting
in with a policeman or two it had
wriggled into Macy's to enjoy a dessert
of tender shoppers who were buying
Christmas presents. No. tale was too
wild for q frightened ~populace to swal-
low more easily than the boa was said
to gulp down women and children.
Many we're the horrid dreams that were
experienced that night, like the n Of
the ancient party in the cut, who hadn't
read the afternoon papers. For it was
found that the frightful tale was a hoax
and that the Sun reporter who first
wrote it had been gulled. A poor sickly
little boa, a few feet long, which suffered
from liberated teeth, had slipped out Of
q potato sack in which he was kept
when not under treatment for his tooth.
ache, and had crawled under the floor
ms the Arsenal building, where the
steam: pipes in the floor made a warm
snoozing place for him. And there he
dozed in peace and in ignorance of the
fear that he was causing in a thousand
hearts until he was found, had his
mouth washed again and was put into q
new potato sack.

still it must be admitted the commu-

raised up a writer in a New York pa

says: But it may be asked, WHY
should Germany wish to humiliate

are obvious. Germany is poor and
could force the United States to nav
an enormous subsidy to fill the i'm

THE ALERT.

In speaking of this vessel, which
has recently been presented to the
United States by the British govern
ment for the relief of Lieutenant
Greedy, an exchange gives its history
as follows: She has gone nearer to the
pole than any other keel. In 1875
the English naval steamers Alert and
Discovery sailed up Smiths Sound in
the hope OF finding a road to the pole.
The Discovery, Captain Stephenson,
stopped at Lady Franklin Bay and
took up her quarters within q few
miles of the station now occupied by
the American explorers, unless Lieu
tenant Greedy has led his party
southwark. The Alert, Captain
Mares, continued her voyage up
Robson channel, boring her way
through a thick crust of ice, and &C
tually turned the corner of Grant
Land, and entered the central basin
of the Polar sea. There she came to
anchor on September 9Th In N. lat.
81 deg. p min., only 453 geographical
miles from the pole, and remained
under the shelter of belt of high Ice.
bergs for a whole year, while sledge
explored the surrounding
country. One of these parties reached
. latitude of SO deg, 20 min., % sec..
the northmost point ever attained by
man. In September, 1876, the Alert
her keel southwark again,
and after rejoining the Discovery
at Lady Franklin cay, sailed for
home and arrived safely at Queens
town On October 30th.
