A Boys BRAVERY.
The Queer Sleeping Place Selected By
Little Jack Crawford.
[Wellsville (O.l Special

Little Jack Crawford.
[wellsville (O.) SpeciaLl
A remarkable feat Of daring in child
and miraculous escape from death is re.
ported from Williamsport, this county,
where vigorous search for natural gas ID
going on. Gas hunters have taken com.
plete possession of the little hamlet and
its surroundings, and the prosecution Of
their work furnishes interest and curiosity
for the country boys for miles around. A
gusher was struck at Willlamsport the
other day, and derrick eighty y-eight feet
high is still standing to support a huge
escape-pipe, from which at night blazes
a fame five feet high. Last night dozen
boys paid the vicinity visit, going from
well to well, out of curiosity. They were
accompanied by little Jack Crawford, q
lad of nine years, who remained at the big
derrick, while his companions continued
their journey. When the boys were ready
to return home the little fellow was
nowhere to be found. One Of the boys
looked up, and imagined that he discov-
cred the outline of form on the top plat.
form Of the derrick. Taking off his shoes,
he climbed the dizzy structure. When
within few feet of the top he was hor-
rifed to find little Jack peacefully asleep
on the very edge of the derrick, with gas
burning high above him. Mastering all
his courage, the rescuer stealthily crept up
to the little slumberer and aroused him.
The lad sleepily rubbed his eyes, and said
he wanted to go home. 1t was with great
difficulty he was brought down, owing to
the rickety condition of the derrick.
While his companions were gone the child
had climbed to the top of the derrick, and
being tired soon fell asleep, 1t was a
miracle he did not fall, as the plank upon
which he was found is by actual measure-
ment only six feet long and two feet wide.

Queen VictOria's Horses.

"It is not generally known" says
the St. James Gazette, chat the fa-
nous cream. colored horses which draw
her Majesty's state carriage, as they
have drawn the carriage OF her prede-
cessors before her for the last century
and a half, belong to her not as Queen
of England, but as princess OF the
royal house of Hanover. The home
Of the breed for very long period has
been at Herrenhausen, a country resi-
dence lying n couple of miles out side
of the Hanoverian capital. There
may be seen to this day stud OF
some twenty or thirty ofthese fine
animals, kept by the Pruss;an govern
ment on behalf of the exhiled Duke of
Cumberland, out of the revenues of his
confiscated estate The breed has SO
long been carefully kept pure that it
is rare $50 say the attendants) for
anything but q cream-colored foal to
be produced. In Hanover, on state
occasions, the kings carriage was &C.
customed to be drawn by the creams,
while the queen sat behind a team OF
bays. If the account of the stable au-
thorities may be believed, the foot
men who walk at the head of each an
lmal are not merely ornamental. Ex-
cept on state occasions these horses
never leave the stable, and they are
kept in such gross condition that
they need to be watched lest they
should suddenly give way to q desire
for instant repose, and thereby dis
turb the stately progress ofthe queens
cortege."

TrOtting Out Their Snake StO-
riQS
From the lewiston (Me.) Journal.

From the lewiston (Me.) Journal.
Speaking of the venomous snake
which caused the horrible death of the
little boy who lived near Grand Falls,
a short time since, Lewiston man
vouches for the truth of a similar oc-
currence in the eastern part OF this
state, which came under his observa-
tian not long ago. A young fellow
who was noted sportsman, always
running about the woods, cunning and
fishing, one day about a month since
took his fishing rod and started for a
we'll known trout brook, where he was
wont to make his headquarters dur
ing the fishing season. He tells the
story himself, that about noon, the
day being warm, he became thirsty,
and stretched himself out on the bank
of the trout brook, and began drink
ing a cool draught from a clear pool
Just below asmall waterfall. How the
misfortune happened he can hardly
explain, but when in the very act of
drinking he sucked into his stomach
large water snake.
It was with difficulty that he crawl
ed home and obtained assistance of
physicians. His symptoms grew
alarmingly serious soon after medical
aid was summoned. The doctors did
everything in their power to rid him OF
this living death, but all their efforts
only resulted in making the young
mans condition more critical The
snake nearly choked the man to death
several times by crawling back and
forth in his throat. The young man
was nearly dead, when his friends ad.
vised him as q last resort to 20 back
to the trout brook, lie down near the
water and perhaps the gurgling of the
water brook might entice the water
snake out of his stomach back to his
native haunts. The victim ofthis aw-
full calamity thought the experiment
only O foolish chance for life, but he
consented to try it. He was carried
to the brook, and placed directly be-
meath waterfall, where the stream
rushed down steep, rocky descent,
making noise enough to awaken adoz-
en- snakes. He hadn't remained by
the water long, before he felt a motion
OF something crawling in his stomach.
Gradually the sensation came higher
and higher, and the viper began slowly
crawling up the poor man throat.
The water had gained the victory, for
the Shiny reptile stuck it's head out OF
| the mans mouth, saw the water rush.
| ing past and leaped into tho brook.
An attempt was made to capture the
water snake, but if was unsuccessful.
The man lives to day totell thestory:

How to Face an Audience.


Any young orator may gain assur-
ance in the same way. Let him re-
member the anecdote of the young
priest who was startled in the midst
OF a simple sermon by his bishop sud
denly appearing robed in his full
canonicals. The sermon was COM
pleted with as much ease and self
possession as 1t began. At its close
the bishop asked if his presence had
disturbed the preacher. mo, your
lordship," was the reply: II always
regard my audience as so many cab
bage heads, and the presence
of a red cabbage among them
makes no difference" In brief,
a wholesome nonchalance in regard to
ones audience is much to be desired.
The audience is only human after AL,
and even the critics are not gods. Let
us. then, be calm. On the particular
night of which speak l was strung up
to the highest tension, and yet | was
entirely master of myself. Whether l
succeeded OF failed, can make no ex-
cuse on the ground of nervousness or
excitement. Macready says in his
biography that he used to prepare
hlmself-when the pious mood was
upon him, supposedly prayer. Ibid
not. Had l continued a prayer l
should not have been q player. But
/ we'll remember making my way
through the muddy alley which leads
to the stage door of the Grand Opera
House, and across the darkened stage,
on which the carpenters stood in
groups of eager skepticism, to my
dressingroom. My debut was made
in the face of more doubt as to it's
success than any other which l recall.
