A luda With Nerve.

Soon after the boat left Vicksburg
a young man in a swell suit brought
out pearl-handled revolver and be-
gan shooting at floating objects on
the bosom of the mighty Mississippi.
His object seemed to be to show off,
and as knot of passengers began to
applaud his shots he grew what
might be called triumphantly reck-
less. The steamer presently over
took fiat boat heavily loaded with
hoop-poles, bound for the New Or
leans market. The steersman, wear
ing broad brim hat and red shirt,
was a very prominent figure.
I've seen the day. remarked a
passenger, "that could put bullet
through that chaps hat and not harm
a hair of his head"
II can do it myself" replied the
shooter.
81 doubt it, sir; doubt it very
much. If you make that shot you
can call yourself the champion of the
world"
What did the idiot do but haul off
and pop away. We saw the mans
hand 60 up to his ear, and it wasn't
half a minute before his place was
taken by second man and he was
pulling off for US in his small boat.
He was soon alongside, and not a
man of US moved as he rushed up
stars with bowie knife as long as
the leg of a chair in his mad right
hand. The shooter was whittier than
chalk, but his sang froid was the gen,
uine article. Before the man had
come within ten feet of him he had
a $50 bill out of his wallet, and, tax
ing step forward, he held it Out
and SAID:
"Sorry to have troubled you, my
dear sir. Intended to leave it fol
you at the next landing. 1 shot tc
break the pipe in your mouth but hi
your ear. This is my regular price
when l make such blunders. -
Red shirt hesitated-took the bill
scanned the figures on the corner
slowly put up his knife, and ther
turned and left, the steamer withou
having said one single word to one O.
us. The nerve and money of thu
dude had prevented that wicked knife
from tasting life blood.

Paris appeal: Work was COM
menced on the rock road running
north of Paris last week, and is being
vigorously pushed by John Bower,
the superintendent. He now has
some seven Or eight teams and ten or
fifteen hands employed, and up to
date has two Or three hundred yards
of the road completed. After the
rock is hauled, Mr.. Bower pays $3.50
per rod for beating and spreading
the rock, ten inches deep over the
road, which is beng rocked fifteen
feet wide. The men, we understand,
beat rock and spread it over rod
a day. which will soon complete the
Bower lane, little over a mile in
length, When completed it will be
good for years to come.

Water Works.

The city council of Mexico, Mo,
has adopted specifications for new
water works which will he sent to
companies that make a speciality of
bidding on such work. tits thought
quite probable the works will be
built this summer. From what is
stated it is the intention of the coun-
Gil to grant a franchise similar to that
given to the water works company
of this city with the right to pnr-
chase after five years. The amount
to be paid annually will of course
depend ON the amount of mains anc
number of hydrants used in the city

A Home Of Snakes.

Pixies county, Pennsylvania, has been
famous since the time of Horace Greeley's
barefoot trip through the country for its
scrub oaks and rattlesnakes. There are parts
of the county, particularly among the rocky
hills near the northern and eastern boundaries
where dens containing hundreds of rattle
snakes, and other varieties are to be found.
Recently W. Z. Hale, of Rosa's Inlet, short
distance west of the village of Port Jervis,
n. Y, accompanied by two of the Westfall
boys, visited locality known as the Snake
Den, and found not less than $50 snakes of
all sizes mostly black snakes and rattle
snakes. In quarter of an hour they had
killed 80 .'rattlers" and one black snake, the
latter over six feet long. The others had
disappeared in the crevices of the rocks. If
any one has 3 desire to kill rattlesnakes 70
secure their oil for rheumatism, neuralgia, or
kindred complaints, all that is necessary is
to visit Snake Den some sunny morning and
90 to work. There are plenty left. Some
parts Of Sullivan county, noticeabiy section
aptly termed 1.-The Barrens," are still In
tested with snakes. At Long Eddy an old
hunter by the name of Geer has established
a regular business of killing and capturing
the rattlesnakes The live ones he sells TO
museums and colleges, and from the dead
ones he extracts rattlesnake oil. He sells
the skins to a new York city manufacturer to
be made up into purses, ladies' belts, and
kindred articles, for which there is now quite
demand. But Shohols Glen. between the
two localities mentioned, is entirely free from
snakes of all description and if the bluestone
quarrymen keep up their war, the snakes will
not long hence be all driven from that part of
Pike county.-feW York Sun.

The Chicago car drivers and conductors
have gained a substantial victory by their
strike. A compromise has been agreed
to according to which the company is to
take back the strikers and such of the
originally discharged sixteen men as a
board of arbitrators consisting of three
disinterested persons shall decide to have
been discharged without proper cause.
Probably if the company had consented in
the first place to refer the case of the dis
charged men TO arbitration. or to give q
fair hearing in regard to the cause for
discharging them, instead of treating the
demand for their reinstatement with con-
tempt. the whole trouble and disgrace OF
the last week would have been avoided.
As it is, the company has permitted its
employees to win the prestige of sue
cessful contest, in which violence has
played an unfortunate part. and the weak
ness OF the legal authorities of the city has
been exposed.

of whom was barefooted and all of whom
were bareheaded. were seen in the Bowery
yesterday near Grand ST., rushing headlong
downtown, their eyes peering into the gutter
and closely scanning the sidewalk. from
which they from time to time picked up cigar
and cigarette stumps. The smallest bow, a
lad OF less than five years, was pumping wig
orousy at cigarette that he held in his dirty
little mouth. He had his hands full of refuse
cigar butts and pieces of cigarettes.
What are you going to do with that
trash" he was asked.
