Snake.Eatinc Snakes.

A letter from Mr.. Pringle, of Louisi-
ana, the well-known American snipe
shot, whose wonderful bags were re-
ported some time since in your paper,
contains the following: Il was walking
across very DOGGY marsh, where there
was good deal of water, and was
stumbling along, not with my former
youthful agility, when came near step
ping on a snake in coil, what is called a
'cotton-mouth moccasin, whose bite is
not fatal, but somewhat poisonous.
There being no stick at hand to kill
him, stepped back and shot him, cut
ting him not quite, but nearly, in two,
and exposing his 'innards, as the ne
groes say. Ny man Caesar exclaimed,
'Massa, he got another snake in him :
and so he had-one nearly as long as
himself. Ipulled the swallowed snake
out, and held him by the tail alongside
the other. The swallower was about
thirty inches long and very thick, and
the swallowed II inches shorter, only
that the latter's head and neck were
doubled, so as to be forced into the
other. Did you ever know of one snake
eating another? They say that dog will
not eat dog. but 1t seems that snake

The Latest About Brirht,s Disease.

Some recent Investigations of Bright's
disease 10y Nj. Semmola have led him to
advise strongly against allowing pa
tient TO come into contact with cold in
any avoidable way, for such patients are
excessively sensitive to cold, and cold
baths are followed 10y great shock and
depression; violent massage and exer-
else of the muscles are also strongly to
be deprecated, as followed by great
shock and weakness. M. Semmola en-
phasizes the remarkable sensibility of
the skin of sufferer from this disease
to all variations of temperature, the de-
sirableness, therefore, of living in dry
and equable climate, the necessity of
avoiding strictly all exposure or going
about In severe winter weather, and the
benefit to be derived from practicing
mild gymnastics in comfortable room
rather than venture into temperature
below eighteen or twenty Cent. So
dium, iodide, and chloride are proved
to be beneficial in doses as large as
tolerated; and when, after two or three
weeks, albumen has not entirely disap-
peared and dropsy has been relieved,
phosphates of sodium or calcium are
efficacious in quantities as large as forty
grains or drachm daily; the methodi-
cal inhalation of Oxygen has also been
repeatedly proved to be of the highest
benefit

The Last Moments Preceding Frederick's
Demise.
Berlin special

The room In which the Emperor lies is not ten
yards from the one in which he was born. IL is
of medium size, and on the walls are portrait Of
Emperor William, and all Of Emperor Freder-
icks children, and half a dozen engravings
of Frederick the Great The Emperor
hes in plain, English brass bedstead,
at the foot OF which on easel is
portrait OF the Empress, by Angel.
The Empress herself sits beside her husband,
and has not left him for moment in fort weight
hours. The Crown Prince, dressed in a Major
Generals undress uniform but without a sword,
stepped quietly into the sick chamber every
quarter OF an hour. He passed his time walking
slowly up and down the Stone veranda. AS he
passed the half-open window he walked on tip
toe in order not 10 disturb his father. Even the
weather seemed 10 be weeping for the Kaiser, as
there was a steady, soaking rain. II is impos-
sible to describe the great grief OF the masses
of the people, who simply adored Kaiser Fred
erick.
According 10 oil accounts the Emperor's de-
meanor in this dire extremity is perfect and he
roic 10 the last degree but, indeed, his behavior
finds n worthy counterpart in tHe conduct'of his
consort, who, amid ali her anguish and despair,

and devoted wife.

daughter Sophia. She is Is years old to-Gsty and

One Of the birthday presents of the Princess

The royal theaters were closed last evening,
and the capital generally has n subdued and
silent air. The general preoccupation displayed

Bourse. 1t is usually remarkable for the well
nigh unbearable uproar which prevails there

The Emperor lies in kind Of stupor, but is
not yet unconscious. Sometimes he opens his
eyes and recognizes those around him, while a
pleasant smile passes over his face when the
Empress or some other member Of his family
comes 70 his bedside. The doctors give him
various stimulants and injections OF camphor,
but the effect is only temporary. While reclin-
ing in an armchair, the Emperor wrote n few
farewell words TO Prince Bismarck. Afterwards
