How Arthur was Kidnapped.

Ex-President Arthur tells the following
story at is not generally known that l was
kidnapped once, but the same is true never
theess. In the summer of '84 | was taking
trip in government despatch boat along the
coast, when one morning we put into Marble
head in order to visit Salem, the ancient
home of wltchcraft Our time was limited
and we desired to escape observations but no
sooner had we landed than was recognized.
We hurried into carriage and proceeded to
Salem, but while in the museum of that city,
which contains many souvenirs of the witches,
was accosted by a sad-faced man with pierre
ing black eyes, who had come. he said, to ask
me to say few words to the people of
Marblehead. l firmly but pleasantly re-
fused, on the ground of pressing engage
ments, and was compelled to repeat my
refusal at least three times before the sad
faced man departed. On the way back
to the vessel my carriage suddenly
stopped, and the door was rudely opened
by the sad-faced man, who again insisted that
should speak to the people of Marblehead
Three times again positively declined One
of the naval officers who was with me -be-
came very angry, and shut the door with a
slam The sad raced man jumped upon the
box alongside the driver, and we were driven
toward the wharf. Presently the carriage
stopped again. the sad-faced man again opened
the door, and before l knew what to do. l
found myself literally borne along by the
crowd to the city hall and into a large room
which was packed with the inhabitants. Re-
sistance was simply useless. l had been
taken right off my feet. Yielding to necessi-
ty, said to the sad faced man, well, | will
speak for FIVE minutes, if you will let me go.
Five minutes it shall be, he replied. wor-
ried along with rambling talk as well as l
could, and at the end of it was allowed to go
back to the vessel But l can never forget
the fact that l was once kidnapped in Mar
blehead. -Harper's Weekly.

until the glands are swollen with poison.
when the viper is killed and the glands ex-
tracted. The poison is reduced to a white
powder, which is rubbed into arm cuts,
much as vaccine virus in small pox inocula-
ton. The clergyman concludes:
A case was never known of a man dying or
even been effected by the bite of snake in
Surinam when vaccination had been properly
performed. l remember distinctly seeing a
irayman in my fathers employ hold deadly
snake in his hand and torment it The snake
would turn his head and repeatedly fasten its
fangs into the mans hand until it was COW
cred with blood. The drayman merely
laughed, and when he got through playing
with the snake threw it down and stamped
on its head. The poison certainly did not
effect him, for l saw him for years after
ward.

head was bathed by those in the house and

cider in st. Louis the day previous. How
he received the wound ON his head Or how
he reached Sedalia he had not the slightest
idea. He was taken to the police station
and upon being searched a newspaper clip
ping was found in his pocket, stating that
William Strain had been arrested at q
pl &c called the Narrows, ON the WabssA
river, for stealing SO worth Of silverwaEe
from the Steamer -Rosedale.; Upon, being
questioned about this matter the young
man said that the. item referred to his
brother, whose name was ; also
William and to distinguish
them the latter was called Wiz

the stranger was an escaped prisoner, Mar

of Terra Hante, inquiring if Strsin was
wanted there. A reply was received say

of Strain had been imprisoned there, buk
had been duly released. s rain says that

last evening.
