having been done on that day. He
said that the relations of the treasury
department with the business world
were such that it was important that
it should be closed as seldom as pos
sible. He thought that by direction
of the president the sub-treasurys and
other outside of department would be
closed for couple Of hours, at least,
on the day of the funeral. Mr.. Coon
as soon as he received the news of the
death of the secretary notified the
postmaster general, who is the only
cabinet officer in the city, and both
sent kilograms to the president IN
forming the latter they had received
news of the death Of MIR. Folger
Asst Sec'y French, of the treasury,
has been in Europe for some time, and
is now on his way home. His absence
leaves Mr. Coon the only assistant
secretary here, and he has been acting
secretory since Folger left Under
the law he will continue to act as sec
rotary unless the president should
make another appointment IN 10 days

officer during his term of office has
been of rare occurrence in this country.
Webster died while secretary of state,
and two secretaries of war; Rollins
and Upspur, and two postmaster gen
erals, Brown and Howe, have died
while in office Folger is the first sec
rotary of the treasury who has died
while holding office.
Assistant Secretary Coon said that
he has received several letters recent
ly from Secretary Folger in which he
wrote rather despondently. La one,
alludng to the burden of work in the
departments, he said that while he
was ABOUT useless still he would pack
his trunk and return to duty if ne
Coon felt that too much was laid
upon him. In another he remarked
that he was in miserable plight,
while the third letter was closed
abruptly with the remark that he
had set out to write at length
but he felt too weak and listless Two
other letters received since were die
tated by an amanuensis, and while
containing clear directions concerning
important departmental matters, also
conveyed the intelligence inserted by
the writer, that the secretary was a
very sick man, and capable of only
the smallest physical and mental ex-
ertlon. In one letter, acting secretary
Coon was advised to send a cable mes

WE think of Wyoming Territory
as a desert and of Cheyenne as a
frontier camp, but a New Yorker
lately returned from that Rocky
Mountain settlement says that he
found there a gentleman's club as
complete as any in New York The
members are principally rich cattle
owners, many of them Englishmen.
The club house is Illuminated by the
incandescent electric light, a chief
from Delmonlco's looks after the
cuisine, and the bartender produces
the most elaborate drinks known.
Turkish rugs, marble statuary, a fine
library, ricn chandeliers, tropical
plants, etc, adorn the interior. He
also says that as elegant equipages
are to be seen every day in the streets
of Cheyenne as i'm New York.

EVERY weeks news confirms the
conviction that the cholera is SO firm
ly established in Southern Europe
that it must even run its course until
its course is stopped for want Of more
material. In Northern aud Middle
Italy it is as firmly fixed as in South
ern France, and the outbreak in the
Pyrenees seems to portend an inevita-
BILE invasion of Spain. This cond ON
of things viii drive from the S lth
thousands of Winter residents and
keep all tourists out of the lines Of the
infected districts. The course of the
disease thus far has shown that its
virulence is in proportion to the neg
lect Dy municipalities Of obvious pre-
cautions. If the lesson is needed on
this side of the ocean there is probably
time enough to set every American
town in order.

AN OLD HERO IN WANT.
Major General John benton Reduced
tOthe Verge of Starvation.
New York World ,

Generals Hancock, Terrell, Porter
and Mcclellan have been appointed a
committee of trust to relieve AN old
soldier of the late war from falling
into want. The gallant hero is Major
General John Benton, who captured
Charleston.
"His history" said General Terrell.
lis the strangest have ever heard OF.
He is the sor of a General in the
Mexican war and comes of the same
stock as Senator BeAton. He was
educated at West Point, where he
was my chum. He left the school.
engaged in literary pursuits and mar
ried a wealthy lady of Nashville.
When the war came he joined the
north and was deserted by his south
ern wife and children, and disowned
by his family. With a heart almost
broken he did his duty, and was made
Captain in an Ohio regiment. He
took part in all the campaigns of the
wor and made brilliant record.
"At Murfreesboro General Benton
wan his stars, being made Brigadier,
and at Chattanooga, just afterward,
he was credited Major Gen
erIl supersedIng General Rose
Grams, being next to General Grant
His career was now stopped by his
imperlous temper, for he offended
Grant, and Benton was kept in the
back ground. However, in a short
time the fortunes of war brought him
under Sherman, with whom he
marched down to the sea, and entered
Charleston before the main body of
troops appeared. Benton, always
high spirited, was reckless to an ex-
treme, because of his domestic difficult
ties and Immediately after the invest
meat of Charleston he had quarrel
with General Sherman, and he was
court martialed. No conviction fol-
lowed, but he resigned and left the
country.
"Benton was next heard from in
the Russo-Turkish war. where he
commanded a division of Turks, and
was the backbo of the defence of
Plevna. He was superseded. how
ever, and narrowly escaped being
strangled as a friend of Mehemet Ali.
After that he departed in disgust for

ability has left him just enough
power to earn little now and then.

Charmed BY a Black.Snake.
Huntington (Pa) News.

News has just reached here from
RoXbury, this county, of most re-
markable case of snake charming,
which occurred there on Monday after
noon. Miss Elizabeth Carson, aged
20 years, who was raised in the family
of Mr. Samuel Snarps, a respectable
farmer of Roxburv, was directed by
Mrs. Sharps, on Monday afternoon,
to repair to a blackberry patch a short
distance from the house and gather
berries for supper. Nothing unusual
took place until the young girl had
filled her basket and was about start
ing for home when she experienced
very peculiar sensation in her left
ankle, which appeared as though it
were being wound tightly with a stout
rope. Miss Carson set her basket of
berries down for the purpose of ex-
aiming into the cause of her dscom-
fort, when, TO her unspeakable horror
she discovered that huge black snake
had coiled itself around her ankle
and was drawing itself up tighter and
tighter as TO positively stop the circul.
alton of the blood in TIE limb, and
cause the unfortunate young girl the
most eXcruciating pain. She had 40
sooner set eyes upon the reptile till it
charmed her, and She was rendered
powerless to free herself from her re-
pulsive tormenter. How long she
remained in this condition Miss Carson
is unable to say, but thinks it must
have been over ten minutes. Her
liberation and escape is as singular of
the cause of her strange experience
itself. The snake, it seems. wound
itself so tightly around hef ankle that
the muscles of her leg were drawn out
of their natural position, and the cir
culation of the blood having been
checked, the limb in its contortions
was moved, which had the effect of
drawing the eyes of the snake from
those of its victim, thus breaking the
charm which it exercised Vobtion
having returned, Miss Carson pulled
her sun bonnet from her head, and
winding it around her right hand she
caught the snake by the head and and
uncoiled it from her ankle and threw
it with such force against stone fence
near by as TO kill it instantly. 1t was
afterwards found to measure five feet
three inches IN length. Miss Carson
reached home in an exhausted condi-
ton. Medical assistance was promptly
summoned, and everything done to
relieve her sutferings, but it is feared
that gangrene will ensue on account
of the withered condition OF the limb,
which is rapidly falling away. The
muscles OF the ankle have been reduc-
ed to mere threads, and the circulation
of the blood has entirel. stopped. The
only hope that remains of saving
Miss Carson's life is in the success OF
the operation of amputating the liElo,
which will be determined upon 10 day
at a consultation of the physicians
who have charge Of the patient.

THE pleuro-pneumonia maniacs
should go less into detail, if they
desire to avoid an exhibition of how
little they know about the disease in
which they purport to be experts. In
the Peoria cases, reported in the
morning papers, one of the cattle is
reported as having monstrously
enlarged lung, and the lungs of the
others had adhered,to the ribs. These
are in no respect symptoms
of pleuro-pneumonia, but are rather
the reverse, and negatively indicate
the absence of this plague in the case
so described.

LAST Friday tho British war-ship
Malard encountered the British brig
Resolven in Trinity Bay, off the New

vessel was all gone, the side-llghts
were burning, but there was no sign
of crew or passengers The Resolven
sailed from Harbor Grace this day
week with thirteen persons on board,
four Of whom were passengers. 1t is
thought the ship encountered an ice

THE war in China has visibly af-
fected the tea market. Recently 80,
600 chests of black tea, including Foo
Chow, Among and Formosa, were
sold here at an advance of cents per
pound. In London prices of tea have
gone up cents. From the island OF
Formosa this country receives an.
nually $50, 600 chests Of tea, and if the
French, who have already seized Ike
Lung, an important tea export point,
should close up Tamsui, brokers say
there will be a big advance in the
price of black teas About $4,000
packages of teas annually have usual
ly come to this county from Foo
Chow.
