TROUT fanciers have mortal hatred of
snakes, because they destroy the young
fish. Now the blue heron, kingfshers
and fish hawks express decided prefer
ence for trout, which shows their good
taste, at least. A Rochester sportsman
says a small snake will seize and swal-
low trout six or eight inches long. The
fish will be headed up the stream with
his head up, Watching for fieson the sur
face ofthe water, when the snake win
seize him by the tail and in an incredi-
bly, shert-space of time swallow him. A
warfare is waged upon these enemies
of the trout, and great many are killed
during the season. When tearing down
the old Matching house, last fall a son OF
Monroe A. Greene killed ffty-two snakes
at one shot, and at another shot dis
patched over thirty of the reptiles.

A RIGHT hearty grasp of the hand in
dictates warmth and ardor, while a soft,
lax touch, without grasp, indicates the
opposite characteristics. In the grasp 81
persons with Iarge-hearted, generous
minds, there isa "whole-souT' expression
most refreshing and acceptable to kin
dred spirits; but when a man presents
you with few cold, clammy, lifeless fin
gers, feeling very much like dead fish,
and expects you to do all the shaking, it
will naturally make you think of the
hospital and other cheerful things. If
the grasp is warm, ardent and, vigorous,
so is the disposition. If it is cool, formal
and without emotion, so is the character
If it is magnetic and anbnating, the dis
position is the same. AS we shake hands
so we feel, so we are.

found sensation was created in this place
this morning by the suicide of Mrs. Jo-
seph Vert, the wife of the proprietor of

She was last seen alive at the break
fast table in the hotel, where she ate a
good meal and seemed to be in unusual
ly high spirits. This was between and
O'Clock. ..--z E..- 80 sr.
AT o'clock her absence was noticed,
and a search for her resulted In the
discovery of her body hanging by the
neck In her room. The, rope was care
fully adjusted and there was every
evidence that the act was deliberately
done.
No cause save that of alteration can
be assigned for the deed. She had no
troubles; her domestic relations are sup
posed to be exceedingly harmonious and
everything about her conduced to her
happiness and comfort.
Mrs. Vert was formerly of Kansas
City. Her Maiden name was Maria
Sears, and she married only six months
ago, -ef...,.g.-.s..,..
The above was taken from tue EUeni1ag
Star, of Kansas City, May 9th. The lady
alluded to was at one time in the employ
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J.. G. Wiggin, at the
Grand Central hotel Of this city. She
was also the mother of the wife of J. Z.

The Pope and the aIasOns.

Philadelphia Times.
Richard Vaux, who is a Past Grand
Master, and one Of the most prominent
Masons In the United States, speaking
yesterday of the manifesto of Pope Leo
against Masonry as a representative of
all secret organizations, said: It all
grows out of Misrepresentation. am
satisfied the Pope is misinformed as to
the nature of Masonry In this country
and Great Britain, We have nothing
whatever to do with either politics or re-
igion. Jews, Gentiles, heathens and
/ Hottentots can belong. We are bound
/ to support the civil law under which we
live, but there is nothing to ALLEVIATE any
member from his. religious creed or
the church authority. The Pope has no
doubt got his ideas from things that have
been told him about the .Carbonari and
other secret societies of Europe that are
sometimes spoken of as Masonic. They
are nearly all political. We do not even
recognize any of the Grand Orients of
Europe, though they claim to be like us.
Few people know that the opposition to
Masonry in Rome came hame near being
withdraw once. When Plus TX. was
in the height of his power Jos. q. Chand-
Ter, of Philadelphia, was sent by Bu-
chanan to represent this country at the
| Vatican. He wassa Past Grand Master.
In Rome he became Catholic. An in
tervieW was arranged to take place be-
tween him and the Pope, IN which he
certainly would have convinced his Ho-
Gness that he did not, antagonize the
church, but at the last moment Italian
influences interfered, and prevented the
interview nom taking place.

THE Texas agricultural ants go to work
in methodical manner. They make a
nest beneath the ground and raised sew
eral inches above it, and clear away a
space on either side Of several feet, from
which branch through the grass several
roads. Curiously enough, this grass
about the nest is all of one kind. All
the other weeds are cleared away. Some
say the ants plant the grass seed. How
ever, they do gather it and feed it to the
young and store the grain-houses under
ground. The seeds slowed away would
naturally sprout after arain, but in some
cases, when they become damp, the ants
take them to surface and dry them in the
sun in other cases they poison the seed
by biting it so that it does not sprout.

The general character of the civil service Of
the United States under ali administrations has
been honorable In the one Supreme test-the
collection and disbursement OF revenue-the rec
ord OF iideiity has never been surpassed in any
nation. With the simost fabulous sums which
were received and paid during the late war, scru-
pulous integrity was the prevailing rule. Indeed
throughout that trying period, it can be said to
the honor Of the American nsme that unfaithful-
ness and dishonesty among civil officers were as
rxre as misconduct and eowardice on the field OF
battle
The growth OF the country has continually and
necessarily enlarged the civil service, until now
1t includes vast body of officers. Rules and
methods of fappointmentw which prevsiled when the
number was smaller have been found insufficient
and impracticable, and earnest efforts have been
made to separate tae great mass Of ministerial
officers from partisan influence and personal
control Impartiality in the mode Of appoint
lnent to be based on qualification, and security
OF tenure to be based on faithful discharge OF
duty are the two ends to be accomplished The
public bushes. win be aided By separating the
legislative branch of the governments from all
control Of appointments snd the executive de-
