A Cannibni Snake.

Rather strang, occurrence came
recently before my notice, and thinking
that perhaps you might caro- to insert it
in your columns, send you tho facts OF
tho circumstance. A few days since
toward evening, killed n snake Just close
behind my house; it measured about
yard and half in length, was one of the
most deadly of tho numerous kinds of
snakes found in Java, an d bears the name
of 'Oelar Belaug.' On examining IL later
l found what | thought to be the tail of
another small snake protruding from its
mouth, but on pulling it out was greatly
surprised to discover that it was really u
snake of the same species, and of almost
the same length. There was certainly not
more than three inches difference in tho
length of tho two snakes, and at the time
killed the outside snake, only about an
inch and half or two inches of tho tail
of the ono he had swallowed protruded
from his mouth. Tho outside snake was,
of course. considerably the thicker of tho
two, but this may be attributed to his
having swollen after, or rather during,
his tremendous meal. The natives here
say that the two snakes must have been
fighting the victor afterward swallowing
his opponent"

Our Horrible sidewalks.
TO he Editor.

~ ulc EINOf,
Under the old mayoralty we had excellent
sidewalks, They were laid OF uniform red
brick put down by experts, and being exceed
ingly smooth, of course, wore even. But dur
ing the three years reign of the board of public
works miles Of sidewalks were laid by any
kind of wOrkmen, and with arch, red, and sal
mon brick taking MI in Il kiln and laid indis-
Criminatc, and thousands of these brick were
oven filled with gravel stones, The result was
that while the arch brick, being nearly as hard
rs cast iron, scarcely wore ut ALL the other
varieties surrounding them soon ground away
and the walks wore into holes and ridges, the
and ice in winter while the brick with gravel
stones IN them became even worse.
This has been going on for years, getting
worse and worse until In many places there are
several square feet in a sidewalk nearly or
entirely worn out. Much has been said about
the neglect Of the commissioners to repair
these very bad sidewalks, but nothing has been
done and yet all there Is to do is to put In an
item In the annual appropriation for this work.
IOGie could get S5OO,OO1 for new sewerage
but not n cent for sidewalks so greatly needed
Aud now another winter Is approaching with
these horrible sidewalks for men, women, and
children to stumble over, slip, and fall upon.
If there Is no money for this work then sug
gcst that an order be issued by the commits.
SiOnCrs to the property owners 10 relay all the
bad sidewalks this summer and fall at their
own cost. The sound old brick can he turned
over, the arch and soft brick be laid on the
sides next the houses and the curb, the red
brick; with new red brick TO supply the dell.
CLERGY, 10 bo laid In the middle Of the walk,

weller, all of Washington In the interim the
majority of the club were having AN limo
cent time on shore rolling tenpins, playing
croquet, and listening to the latest nCws from
home, among which was the sad intelligence
of the death of John Il. Dawson (who was one
of the crow on last years Cruise), which called
forth many expressions of sincere sorrow
and regret This was the most pleasant
day of the cruise, and the McssrS. Adams
proprietors of the hotel, joined with the
guests In hearty invitation to remain for the
evening, when they promised the club grand
reception, but this they were compelled TO de-

4. Two members will be detailed to assist the
officer of the day to serve at table; at the end
of each meal they will turn the dishes over to

during their term of duty. o. Officers of the

A Snake In His Pocket.

IHt VUHUTTTTVV VTVF T0U0TVW
While dressing himself one morning
last week Alonzo Moore, of Cumberland,
thought his trousers wero heavier than
usual, and after having put ono suspender
over his shoulder he thrust his right
hand into the pocket to ascertain tho
cause. His horror may be imagined when
the head of snake darted out of the
pocket and Missed at him. Mr.. Moore
quickly Invested himself of tho trousers
aud the snake gently glided from his
hiding place, apparently as much fright
ened as Mr.. Moore, whose agile feet were
dancing over tho floor to u much faster
tune than Fishers Hornpipe. The snake
was three feet in length aud was of the
blacksnake species.
