Washington Irving's Debt.

A letter has been received at the of.
fee of the Register of the Treasury
from an old lady residing at Kittan-
ming, Pa. She wrote that she had OBJ
served that Washington Irving was
represented as debtor to the Govern
ment in the sum Of three cents, left
over from his occupancy of the post of
Minister to Spain in 1S43. She repre-
sented herself as a relative Of Irving
and inclosed ten cents, saying she
wanted the account closed up, as she
was certain Mr.. Irving could not have
been aware of it. She said she hoped
the remaining seven cents would be
sufficient to pay the accumulated inter-
est on the three cents Indebtedness
since 1848. In conclusion she wrote:
"And furthermore, honored sir, Iwish
you to understand that Mr. Irving was
a scrupulously honest man" The Of
ficials formally closed the account, ac-
knowledged the receipt of the three
cents, and returned seven cents change,
informing the lady that the Government
did not want any interest. - Washington

TEMPLE OF SERPENTS.

A Country Where the Killing of a Snake Is
a Capital Offense.
The small town of Werda, in the
Kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated
for its Temple of Serpents, a long
building in which the priests keep up
ward of thousand serpents of all
sizes, which they feed with the birds
and frogs brought to them as offerings
by the natives. These serpents. many
of them of enormous size, may be seen
hanging from the beams across the
ceiling, with their heads hanging
downward, and in all sorts of strange
contortions. The priests make the
small serpents 60 through various evo-
lutions by lightly touching them with
a rod, but they do not venture to touch
the largest ones, some of which are big
enough to enfold bullock in their
coils. 1t often happens that some of
these serpents make their way out of
the temple into the town, and the
priests have the greatest difficulty in
coaxing them back. To kill serpent
Intentionally is crime punishable
with death; and if European were to
kill one the authority of the King him
self would scarcely suffice to save his
life. Any one killing serpent unin-
tentionally must inform the priest Of
what has occurred. and 90 through the

of Buffalo, furnishes good material for

women wanted to buy basket of

Stafford watched them and saw that
they were much disappointed; listened
and learned that they wanted the
peaches for their invalid mother; then
called them back, sold them the fruit
at cost price. took fifty cents in part

naa suddenly confuted all the ideas which
my friends entertained Of me and all the
theories which I had formed for my own
guidance in life, by falling desperately, even
madly. in love with a girl whose very exist
ence had been unknown to me six hours be-
fore, and of whose NAME, position and char
acter l was still in absolute ignorance.
"ueii L nrsJ o o my seat at the dinner
table I had looked eagerly among the faces
at the long tables, hoping that perchanee 1
might ses her there. It was a foolish fancy,
and it was doomed to disappointment. Now.
when at last the tedious meal was at an end
and I was released from thu attentions of tho
kindly bore beside me, l hurried out Of the
great hotel and took my way to the terrace
in front of the saloon. It was still early, and
the gay crowd had not yet mustered in force.
I searched everywhere for her; and every
where in vain.
And then l consoled myself with the
thought that, after the agitation of the after
noon, she would hardly feel inclined to spend
the evening in sauntering on tho terrace,
where now the laughing throng was moving
slowly to and fro, while the strains of the
band floated out across the bay, and a thou
sand streaks Of silver told where the moon
beams kissed the crest of each wavelet Us it
leaped toward the shore. Yes, even this
beautiful scene, which was almost new to
me, for had not visited Scarborough since
I was a child, could hardly lure her out of
doors tonight after the excitement Of such a
day.
Yet while reason told me this, my eyes
continued to seek for her everywhere, and it
was not until long after the band had ceased
to play and the last Of the holiday makers
had retired, that with an aching heart I gave
up the f~ruitless search and went to my bed
to pass a night of fitful slumber and troubled
dreams.

Mr.. %Strangfeld. still wearing his painful
smile, opened the paper with a shake of the

a distance from him, as a man might who
scarcely deems the thing he is asked to read
worth the trouble of spectacles.
"Michael," cried his wife, "your glasses are
in your pocket. Read it quickly, husband,
for my sake-or give it to me! 1 will read it
aloud"
She went toward him, but with a faltering
gesture he warned her of. Then slowly,
with stubborness in every move of his arm,
he drew out his spectacle case and put on his
glasses and e round to the other side of
his chair, which was nearer to the window,
to read.
They could not see his face, for it was to-
ward them and he held the paper before it.

A DANGER SIGNAL,

The bark Forest Queen, now
locked at Brewers wharf, had a red
flag danger signal hoisted on her
fore. top-mast, to show that she has
combusuble material on board. She
came in Tuesday morning and that
flag has been up ever since. The
manifest states that the Forest Queen
has j6 pkgs. of powder for Messrs. f.
o. Hall Il Son. The quality of the
combustib.e is not specified, but is
said to be giant powder, very
powerful and dangerous article. 1t
appears that this powder is in the
hold beneath other freight, hence
the delay in getting it out. However,
on inquiring of the Port Surveyor, it
is learned that combustibles arriving
here are supposed to be Landed i'm
mcdately, and the vessel has no
right to dock until the powder is
off. While the danger is admitted,
on whom the responsibility rests is
difficult to discover. 1t is to be
presumed that every precaution will

accident.
