Snake Story.

"I'll tell you a sight l saw in Hin
doostan," said n truthful traveller. at
sounds wild, but it's as true as that 1
exist. The railroad from Bombay to
Calcutta is only second IN length to
that crossing the American continent,
and stretches in IL line across a level
plain 5000 miles long. The train
hands ARE all Englishmen. One day I
was riding OH the engine when far
ahead there seemed something on the
track like low, brown, undulating
waves. The engineer looked through
his field glass and said it was snakes.
This was their migrating and breed
ing season, when they were peculiarly
vicious. He had seen them twice in
fifteen years ont there. They were the
cobra de capclla, a poisonous reptile
when excited. They are four or five
feet long wien full grown. Down their
side is a folded fin that projects hall
an inch when they are angry. We
were running 25 miles all hour, and
raised the speed to 40 and dashed i'll
to the mass. They were crawling four
or five feet deep on each other, and
covered the track for half q mile.
Flsh! It sickens me yet when | recall
their cruncling under the wheels. We
ti.n over them in patches for an hour.
The wheels got SO povsrsd with grease
and blood they slid along the rails, and
we just had to stop i'll a clear placeand
wait for those ahead to pass. They
clogged the wheels, and pretty soon
began crawling up the train. We had
to shut ourselves into the engine room
and wait for them to crawl off. Not a
brakeman or passenger dared stir.
And there we waited four hours.
Wien I say there must have been a

Our neighboT of The Southern San
has this to say of its connection with the
Florida Edition Of the New York World:
The recent Florida edition of the New
York World has not, by any means, met
public expectation. In the first places, it
was announced by Sir. Fraley that $780,
600 of the Florida edition would be is
sued, hut the World itself says sit will
.ac. 925. 01f'-a difference
81 10000! These are the cold, hard
figures. That is surely too broad mar
gin. A shrinkage so great leaves the
inference that the number actually is
sued may be even less than what the
World has stated it to be. Where any
deception has been discovered, we can
not tell but what much more exist
even in the face of positive statement.
In the second place, it was understood
that there were to to be no advertise
ments Of the usual form; but they APP
peared in large numbers, from Florida
and elsewhere. This was directly in vi
olation of the original understanding
Finally. after sending to US for an ar
ticle on Putnam county, which was
written and mailed, Mr.. Fraley wrote and
inserted his own, which covered less
than one third of the space that would
have been occupied by the article sent.
It can be said without egotism, that the
one thus furnished was in all respects
we were deprived of our proper share of
representation in the columns of the
Would, based on the amount OF money
subscribed. 1t is evident that there was
gross mismanag ment throughout, if
nothing else. The press of Florida is
almost unanimous in it's denunciaton of
the course pursued.
