Mrs. Dudley Again.

The General Sessions Court room, in
New York, was crowded last Saturday
morning with persons to witness the pro-
ceedings in the arraignment Of Mrs. Dud-
ley, for shooting O'Donnovan Rosa, and
Dick Short, for stabbing Captain Phclan.
Short was first arraigned. His face was
flushed, but his manner was calm and col
lected. Short pleaded mot guilty" to the
charge Of assault with intent to kill. The
Recorder said that as the case was an ag-
gravated one he would increase the bond
from $4,000 to $4,000. Short was then
removed. Mrs. Dudley was then arraigned,
and approached the bar with quiet smile.
Her counsel said that by his advice she
stood mute. The Recorder directed the
plea Of mot guilty" to be entered for Mrs.
Dudley, and her bail fixed at $500. The
accused was then taken back to prison.
Neither Captain Phelan nor O''Donnovan
Rosa was present during the proceedings.

4 ROMANTIC STORY.
How Young Engltshman Of Wealtl,
Found His Wife.

The New York papers Of the I'd inst.
have romantic story Of young English
man of fortune who arrived there short
time since in search Of his wife, formerly
a servant in his mothers family, whom he
married clandestinely, and from whom he
and his child by her were separated by his
family. The Englishman's mother has
since died, and he, receiving his portion Of
the large estate, has been searching nearly
one years for his wife, who had removed to
America, and believing her husband had
abandoned her, married again. Saturday
evening she was accosted as "mama" BY a
little boy who followed her to her resi-
dence. He had recognized her from pic
ture in his fathers possession. The latter
was soon at the door Of the house, which,
was opened oy his former wife.
The San thus describes the scene:
"Maggie!" he exclaimed.
~ don't know you," screamed the
woman, as she staggered back from the
door.
Then man came to the door, and said
to Mr.. Jabes:
"This is my VIZ. What do you want:"
"This is my wife, too," said Jabes, "and
If she's yours, she's 1 bigamist.'
"Come in, sir, and let's have an under.
| standing about this thing" said the man.
Jabes went in and had long talk with
the man. The woman was not present.
j;abes told the police that he had given the
woman the alternative Of returning to him
or being prosecuted for bigany, and as he
had not heard from her, he had partly dc.
cided to make complaint against her The
couple living in the house were married
about three years ago. They met at a
ball in Jersey City. She is Of Irish extrac-
ton and is described as very handsome.
Other papers report compromise, and
that she sails for England with her first
husband in few days.

the exception of two others. All railroads
depend upon their local traffic for mainte-
nance or the cost of operating them, while
the through traffic is counted as profit. The
Western lines, or more especially the Mani
toba and Northern Pacific roads in the
Northwest. are almost exceptional to this
rule, ostensibly because the country through
which they operate is not developed. These
two roads depend almost exclusively upon
the produce going out and the merchandise
coming in, and when there Is depression
in the market their earnings fall accord
ingly. The farther east the greater is the
local business. The reason why the West
ern lines do not feel the depression to such an
extent as the Eastern lines do is ON account
of the immigration and the opening up Of
new territory, while the territory the East
ern lines operate in has long since been
settled, and they are almost dependent on
what was formerly their profits, through
business. During this stagnation railway
managers are operating their lines as con-
servatively as possible, and one general
manager the other day remarked that with
fair crops his company would fare better
after the crops were moved than it did
last year.

The now famous Penjdeh is inhabited
by some $500 families of Sariks, who
are not subject to any great head
chief, but are mostly ruled by various
influential headmen. A good many
Jews live among them, and are the
principal shop-keepers. while they
have NO other slaves than a few cap
tured years ago as children and wom-

Sariks, the Calcutta E~mqlishmaam says,

A Singular Reptile.

A snake of q very rare kind is now
at the Smithsonian Institute. It was
captured near the famous Buck Horn
Wall, on the line of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, near Deer Park, Md.
The popularity of the snake is that it
can. and does whistle and sing like a
young hooking bird. In general APP
pearance it is like the ordinary snake,
except its head is shaped somewhat
like a pug dog. In length it is tour
feet long, ana the largest part of it's
body is four and a quarter inches
in circumference. When it whistles
or sings it makes a series of jumps
like a frog. The head snake
professor of the Smithsonian institution
is now at Woods Aole, Mass, and it
will probably be sent there for his ex-
animation and classification. 1t is in
shape and color altogether different
from any of the African singing snakes,
and besides Issues a louder and more
harmonic solnd or whistle than is re-
corded of my of the classes of snakes
that are TO md in the East Indies. A
similar cb aracter of q snake is said in
the books to be frequently see on the
island of Sumatra. So far this is the
first singing or whistling snake that
has been found in this country. The
man who caught it supposed he was
chasing a young hooking bird.-Wash

prizes were sufficiently great to excite
the most unremitting vigilance. Ger

stroyed wrecking as a business of any

who have been accustomed to the lone

Of our traversing Plantation Key in

permission, our party, consisting OF

satisfied that our ..intents were charit-
able" we were graciously shown a
tract of several acres of recently cleared
ground on which were growing rows OF
pineapple tops. Here was the first en-
pertinent in the culture of pineapples in
Florida. The success of this venture
was so decided that since then. we are
told, many of the keys are quite de-
voted to this enterprise. The pines
grown here prove to be of superior
flavor. The sponge business is yet one
of the chief sources of income to the
population of Key West. The several
forms of commercial sponges grow in
the shallow lagoons and creeks along
the inner waters of the reef. In mos
instances the sponge is secured by
hooks, appearing. when taken. as the
most repulsive of black masses, heavy
with water and the jelly-like flesh which
constitutes its living organism. These
are thrown ashore and left to be washed
by the waves, or are frequently rinscd
by dashlng water over them. In a few
