4 SNAKE STORY.
Opening of the Season for Gigantic
F7abricatiOns.

Opening OF the Season for Gigantic
F7abrications.
Talking about snakes food, says a cor
respondent of the Baltimore American,
I once heard a story told me by a Span
ish teacher, living in this city. which
takes the cake. He said that one day,
while hunting in Brazil, his guide game
rushing back and told the party to be
careful, for in front Of them was a snake
sixty feet in length. The snake had just
finished eating a deer, but had been
unable to swallow the horns, and they
were still sticking out of he snakes
mouth. The gentleman said it was a
common thing in South America for
snakes to eat, and, when the antlers re
fused to go down into the stomach, the
snake would go and lie in the sun and let
horns and dissolve them. This monster
snake was very likely performing this act
when the hunting party came on him.
They advanced cautiously and were about
to fire, when the snake sprang forward
and struck the guide in the breast with
the stag's horns and crushed him into a
jelly Before the snake could repeat this
playful little pastime a bullet from one
of the guns of the party killed him. He
was coiled up and carried by the party to
the nearest town and shipped to Rio,
where he is still on exhibition; the ant
lers are yet in his mouth, SO the Spanish
teacher told me.

The Potato Crop.


AN ELABORATE REPORT on THE YIELD. MUCH
BELOW THAT OF 1883.
The New England Homestead has published
an elaborate report on the potato crop, the al
most universal money crop of the Eastern
States Reports from nearly 900 correspon-
dents show that throughout the Provinces, New
England and New York, the acreage and yield
are considerably below last years. As whole
the acreage has decreased about 10 per cent
and the yield is about one-third less than in
1855 This makes the acreage nearly the same
as in 1882. with "a considerably lighter Weld

as the lowest shipping price in New York
State, to 5 in the eastern Massachusetts towns
averaging 50 to 80 per bushel. Rot is quite
prevalent and grubs have greatly injured the
tubers in many sections. The rot appears to be
of the regular old fashioned sinking decay,
that can be depended upon to cause great in
jury. Where early potatoes are rottng there
is some haste to sell at current prices. but gen
orally farmers are holding in expectation of
higher prices.
The crop in the eastern provinces and Quebec
is short. In the great shipping counties of
Nova Scotia it is almost a complete failure. In
stead of exporting potatoes, some sections will
have to import them for seed. Rot is working
badly in the great shipping sections of Northern

OF good quality, the rot being reported less fire.
qnent there than elsewhere.
New ! orks acreage and yield are below the
figures for 1888, and it is the general disposition
to hold. The western crop is below the aver
age, and the southern demand promises to be
larger than usual. All indications are in favor
of higher prices. The Homestead advises
growers who have sound tubers to be in no
haste to sell.

The main incident of today politically was
the call of General Grant upon Mr. Blaine.

leaning on It pair OF crutches, stood at the
threshold. 1t did not take an instant for the
crowd to recognize the veteran figure Of Gener

his feet. Mr.. Blaine stepped forward in de-
lighted surprise and grasped the Generals hand
with much warmth. Everybody in the room
was silent as the two foremost men of their
time stood hand in hand IN the centre OF the
room. The reception on the part of both was
sincere and unaffected, and tears seemed to

Altogether, the scene was one which those

Rev. Geo. II. Ball of Buffalo has written an
open letter to Rev. ID. ii. Muller, D. d.. of
Cleveland. under the date of Sept. 10th, 1884,
in which he states that the IIapin case was not
solitary. Well authenticated facts connect
Cleveland with acts which are most scandalous.
DR.. Ball says, ''these allegations do not rest on
rumors. heresay or second hand statements, but
upon testimony of men and women who are
personally cognZant of the facts" and facts are
stated which Rev. DR.. Ball says are vouched
for ''by several respectable witnesses who are
ready to appear and testify in court when prop
erly called" No additional evidence is required
in New England to prove the moral unworthi-
ness of Governor Cleveland for the high official
position to which he aspires. Colonel Goldman
in his letter alluded "to single fault that be
(Cleveand) is known to have committed
This recent letter to Rev. DR.. Muller by Rev.
Geo. III. Ball disposes of this statement. 1t is
not single fault. "a written summary" says
Rev. DR.. Ball, of the evidence has been review
ed by able counsel and pronounced surprisingly
full and conclusive. Full thirty of the ministers
of Buffalo, after hearing the summary read, do
not hesitate to pronounce him guilty of habitual
unchastiiy and intemperanee." He is pronoun-
ced in this letter ''a foe to virtue, an enemy of
the family, a snare to youth and hostile to true
womanhOod." The letter has been published in
several western newspapers.

A suggestion has been made that The time Of
the annual Thanksgiving should be changed
from the latter part Of November to the 18th of
October. The reason is twofold. November
is too late in the season and too cold. It would
be more appropriate to hold the festival in the
miIder season just at the close of later harvest.
Furthermore, Oct. 18th is the date of the dis
covery of America by Columbus, and the event
has no day of celebration as its Importance
should warrant. The suggestion is worth
thinking about at any rate. The first Thanks
giving was celebrated in November by the
Pilgrims, and that fact has determined the date
ever since. The inertia of conservatism makes
it hard to change national customs as well as
personal habits.
The following is copy of a letter received
by the manager of a lecture bure au recently,
from Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman:
DEAR SIR-My regular charge for ''lectur-
ing" is a million of dollars for outsiders, for
my soldier comrades. once year, nothing.
For the former never has this fee been accept
ed. For the latter my book of engagements is
full for the natural period Of my life.
With great respect,
WILLIAM t. SHERMAN.

ing that no such license as Mr.. Blaine refers to

that Mr.. Blaine was right, and that Mr.. Ben
