Certainly the most remarkable
snake story that we have ever
heard comes from old Pinetucky
district in this county. 1t is no
story, but is vouched for by some
of the best men in this county who
saw the wonderful monstrosity
Mrs. Bryant c. Gray ordered q
beef killed, and pointed out one
which was small of it's age, think
ing it would never be Of any size
The cow was four years old, and its
remarkably small size had often
been a subject for comment. After
the beef was killed and the disem-
boweling process gone through, Mr.
Abbott noticed that in one Of the
larger intestines something was
seen to move and keep up con-
slant motion. Curiosity led him
to cut it open, and as this was done
a very large snake, a coachwhip,
ran on the ground some distance,
but was killed. BY this miracu-
lous revelation Mr.. Gray and Mr.
Abbott were almost confounded,
but proceeded with the process OF
butchering; but when the wind
pipe was opened and the sack COW
ering the lights or lungs, they were
doubly confounded to discover
thirty-seven smaller suakes of the
same species. Each one of these
was holding onto the lungs, and
thus, we presume, securing life.
After dressing the beef it only
weighed eighty pounda The story
may seem impossible, but not
more so than Jonah and the whale.

There is a very simple way to
check the growth of sagebrush,
says the Cheyenne Leader, and also
cactus, on the plains of this region
of country, but which few experiene-
ed ranchmen know all about. II
water can be let in over the land SO
that the turf can become saturated
and remain so for awhile, it will
kill the sagebrush so that not even
the roots will possess any vitality
again, and there will be no more
trouble from the growth of sage
brush.

Read only the best literature for
that alone can furnish the greatest
good and highest pleasure. What
healthy and life-giving food is to
the body a good literature is to the
mind, giving it strength, beauty
and fine development. Itneed not
always be the most scholarly and
learned literature to be worthy and
profitable, but it should be of pure
character. There is no time to
fritter away on light and useless
reading any more than there is in
throwing away the valuable min
utes of ones life in silly and fool
ish pleasures. Good literature is
So abundant and so accessible, and
so full of sweet and transporting
delight, that every school boy and
girl may become familiar with its
finest pages and most beautiful
charms. What a world of beauty
and pleasure is found in the tales
and sketches of Irving and Haw-
thorne, and what streams Of per-
fumed JOY flow from the jewelled
poems of Bryant and Cowper J
What beautiful lessons are taught
by Holmes and Elliott, what beau
tiful stories told by Longfellow and
Holland; what character Of pic
lures painted by Dickens and
Thackery; what lovely music
greets the ear that listens to Moore
and Goldsmith, and what life is
found in the touching pages of
Bronte and Edgeworth and in the
sorrowful lines of Poe and Lamb.
Men and women have drank deep
of the elysian springs of nature,
they have breathed her most balmy
airs, they have lived in her most
delightful and heavenly palaces,
and they have woven her best
charms into flowers Of literary mer-
it and beauty for the delicious
pleasure yielded themselves and
the rapturous intellectual gratifica-
ton afforded their readers. In
stead of the dangerous dime novels,
the sensational weeklies and the
exciting and passionate stories that
crowd the book-stalls, read the de-
lightful, beautiful and charming
stories and poems of the best and
purest-minded authors and every
moment will be q day, and every
day year in your life.

The application of Peter Elehe-
barne, of st. Jose, for letters of ad,
ministration Of the estate of Char
lotte Parkhurst, in Santa Cruz
county, has made public a remark
able story of a woman's double life.
Early in 1S4S the people of San
dusky, Ohio, were startled by the
discovery that Miss Charlotte Park
hurst, only daughter of Frank
Parkhurst, a prominent citizen had
eloped with the town postmaster
during the night. The distracted
father searched for his Lottie fol
months without success, and final
lv concluded that she had come to
an untimely death. A few years
after this the California gold fever
was at its height. Railroads were
unknown. Stages were the only
means at hand for transporting
miners to different points in the
gold fields, and experienced drivers
were in demand. Their perilous
exploits with mustang teams were
told in cabin and by the camp fire
None of the bold pioneer stage dri-
vers were oftener mentioned than
young Charley Parkhurst. To
know "One-Eyed Charley" as he
was called from the fact of having
lost an eye in fight with highway
men, was to respect and admire
him for quiet, courageous charac-
ter.
firing Of stage driving, Park
hurst sought more congcnial pur-
suits, and was made time station
agent for the stage company when
coaches piled between this city and
Watsonville. At one time he was
put in possession of and held dis
puted tract of land, now valued at
$40, 600, when the struggle over the
property was so bitter that only q
brave, determined man was be.
lieved equal to the task of holding
it. After an eventful career in Cal
ifornia, Parkhurst was found dead
in bed, at Watsonville, on Deem
Der 20, 1879. Then the startling
fact was revealed that Charley
Parkhurst was a woman. Suisse
quent investigations established be-
yond doubt the identity Of the IA
nous jehu with Charlotte Park
hurst, the eloping belle Of San
dusky. A singular circumstance
is that until now, after the lapse OF
over six years, no effort has been
made, either by public officers or
friends of the woman, to settle up
the estate. She left no deed, and
the exact value or description OF
her property seems shrouded in
mystery.-Cor st. Louis Republi-
can.

Did it ever occur to the reader
that there is just as much water in
the air above on a clear bright day
as on a cloudy or rainy one? Rain
does not come from somewhere
else, or if it is waited over you by
the wind from elsewhere, the water
that was over you is simply waited
on to some other place. Water is
absorbed in the air above us, at a
certain temperature and it becomes
insensible. Cool that air by wind
draft of cooler atmosphere, or by
electrical or chemical influence,
and the moment the air becomes
cooler it gives up some OF the
watery particles that were insensi-
BILE or invisible at the higher tenn
perature. These small particles
thus given out unite, and when
enough of them coalesce, obstruct
the light and show as clouds.
When enough of them unite to be
too heavy to float in the air, they
begin to descend; pair after pair
of them come together until rain
drop is formed. One of these mi
mute rain-drops is made up of mil
lions of infinitely email watery par
ticlcs.
Air passing over the cold tops
of mountains is cooled down 80
that it gives up G good deal of the
congeoled watery vapor. and hence
little rain falls in the region along
the lee side of the mountains. This
is why so little rain falls in Color
ado, and in other places north and
south of that State. The prevail
ing winds blow from the west, and
at the cool tops of the Rocky
mountains lower their temperature
and thus take out the moisture that
would otherwise fall in rain.-Sci-
entific Press.

AND SO George c. Bates, at one time
United States District Attorney for
Utah, has finally given up the ghost,
and left this world that was so full of
JOY and sorrow, of gaiety and distress,
of triumphs and defeats. A Denver
dispatch in this issue of TIE HERALD
tells of the old mans death, and also
relates something of his life's story.
Judge Bates was queer combination
Nature intended him for a great man,
but some of the elements were lacking,
and their place taken by material out OF
which scrubs are created; the result was
being who at times was brilliant and
commanding, standing above his fellows,
attracting attention and exciting admir-
alton, and at other times person who
was the direct opposite to the
above. The ordinary man could not
help loving Bates dearly one day, and
as heartily despising him the next. In
Utah he did some good and much
harm, and as a result his friends here
are nothing like so numerous as his
enemies. But he has gone, and we
hope to better existence. for his lot
here was anything but joyous during
the past twenty-five years of life.
