The most thrilling snake story that

one of Morgan's most reliable and indus
trious young farmers serious apprehen-
sion as we'll as q lively chase.
A few days ago Mr. Eason, who ten
ants the farm of Mr.. j. r. High few
miles from town, while engaged in chop
ping cotton in his field, some distance
from his house, was set upon by coach
whip Of huge dimensions. Mr.. Eason
assumed the offensive and tried to repel
his violent antagonist He was soon
forced to flee, however, for safety, and
q lively chase with the young farmer in
the lead, was made over cotton beds to
the house.
AS soon as he was in hearing distance
Mr.. Eason called to his wife for his gun,
who ran to the rescue Of her almost
breathless husband Just IN time to rid
himself of his venomous purS der, which
he did by emptying the contents Of the
shotgun into his snakeship. This is q
reliable corroboration Of the tradition
that coachwhip will chase human
being. The c0achwhip was q very
large one, measuring s feet 9 inches.
We ere told that the negroes on the
place were very much alarmed.

lie POOR RTaHrLY sERYED.
Hew the Inmates 81 IN Euelish Workhouse
Received aGood Dinner.

Receives Af4N-Du 04M0#Ee
William Fox was one Of the true old
school of Friends, His sympathy for
tho poor was excited by serving ii the
Office Of overseer and, seeing how poor
some men were who had to pay the poor
rates, he resolved to economic the funds
and thus prevent misery as much as pos
sible. 1t was a custom in his parish for
the overseer and the gentlemen who at
tended weekly to have good dinner at
the close Of the day, and this was paid
for out of the poor rates; but, as it was
manifest abuse, Fox determined to put
an end to the practice. He therefore
fastened away, before the close Of the
weekly meeting, to the dining room, and
thus addressed the master of the work
house:
IT'S the dinner readya''
Eyes, sir"
'sThen bring il in quickly
stAll the gentlemen ready, sirF
"Never mind the gentlemen; ! say
bring it in
This was DONE.
ssNow call the paupers, sir; call the
paupers. Dost thou not hear what say,
sir
This dinner is for the gentlemen,
sir"
For the gentlemenl Obi who pays
for it, then; do the gentlemeng'
The master stared, and then said:
ssWhy, no, sir; reckon it is paid for
out Of the poor rates"
''Well, then, fetch in the poor at once,
and work quick
The workhouse ruler went out, and
William Fox went too, to see that he
did as he was ordered, and did not give
the alarm to the gentlemen, and in a few
minutes were hurried in host of hungry
paupers. who had not for years set eyes
on such a feast They did not wait for
q second invitation to place themselves
at the table. Mr.. Fox babe them help
themselves, and at once there was q
scene of activity that, for the time it
lasted, justified the name of the house.
It was s'workhouse'' indeed. Fox all
the time stood carving good pieces Of
meat, and handing pudding to those
who could not get seats, and in few
minutes there was q complete clearance
of the table. Scarcely had Fox dis
missed his delighted guests than another
company presented themselves. These
were the gentlemen.
At first they stood in amazement, but
soon began to exclaim:
ssWhy What is this-why is the table
In this statea Where is the dinner ~
II found very good dinner ready"
said Fox; sand as know that only the
poor have right to dine out Of the
funds, have served it out to the poor
accordingly; but if any of you is in want
of dinner, he may come home with me
and will give him one"
The gentlemen knew very well the
character they had to deal with, and
never attempted to renew the practice of
dining at the public charge during the
remainder Of Fox's year of Office.

Mrs. Langtry's little Chinaman, who
halls from San Francisco. Although
he has only seen thirteen summers, his
face is stern and grave as a mans of
fifty. His good qualities are absolute
devotion to an indulgent mistress and
an imperfect knowledge of English,
which keeps his tongue from wagging.
His temper is not always well oiled.
The other day he cut off his pigtail in
fit of passion. AS for dress, he wears
many coats and many petticoats. He
is magnificent, and in his own country
might pass for a mandarin. Wong Mo
