India has Just lost snake charmer,
one Kondajee AIuboojee, who fell q mar
tyr to his belief in his own powers A
lad years old, PANIED Yittoo Heorree,
was bitten BY cobra at Mazagon, Bonn
bay, and, as usual, snake eharnler was
at once sent for. Kondajee arrived at
the spot in half an hour but the 10y was
already dead. The snake charmer in
quired where the cobra had taken
refuge, and, on q woodpile being pointed
out, he removed the wood, found and
seized the snake, and endeavored to make
it bite the dead boy, declaring that il it
did so the child would at once be re-
stored to life. For two hours he perse-
vered, but the snake refused to strike tho
body, and at last. irritated beyond en-
durance, turned and BIT Kondajee in the
hand. The snake charmer calmly placed
the snake in copper vessel and then
sat down. A vehicle was sert for and
the man placed inside, but by the time
he reached home he was dead

bite of snake will restore the life that
the first has taken away. The apathy Of
the Hindoo is evident by the fact that
the snake charmer used no effort what
ever to save his own life. Whether he
thought that he was proof against its i'll
effects was not stated in the evidence
given at the inquest held on the body of
the child, but it is clear that he had no
belief in the virtues of any antidote or
mode of treatment. 1t is most probable
that he was confident in the power of
the drugs, ointments, or charms he had
previously used to protect him, or the
evidence of the spectator showed that
upon finding the snake in the woodpile
he had seized it without the slightest
hesitation. 1t is certainly singular that
man accustomed to handle snakes
should have been so convinced that their
bite had power to restore life as well as
70 cause death. Letter.

1.-The havoc of Arab traders in Central

that one, of the tribes Bishop Taylor in

described as a gentle, cheerful and in

the adjoining Tushilange country, Lieut..
Wissmann again visited the Beniki re-
gion, where all was silent in the big
town, the huts in ruins and the street
overgrown with tall grass The Arabs

the peaceful spot and had killed, captured

The alarm of fire Saturday last about
one clock, was occasioned by the burning
of brick and single roof of residences Nos.
220 and 222 n. Augusta Street. The house
is double tenement, and is owned by Mrs.
D. A. Risk, No. 900 was occupied by q.
SwitZer. ESQ.,, and No. 222 by Mr.. Gooch,
manager of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. The fire evidently originated
from sparks blown on the roof, a very
high wind prevailing at the time. Sparks
and burning pieces of timber were blown
a long distance, and at one time there
were apprehensions of a general confagra-
ton. The NeWtown Hose Company, the
Augusta Fire Company. and the Hook
and Ladder Company were quickly on the
ground and worked as only the boys OF
these companies can work. Some daring
feats of braye endurance and pluck. were
shown by our iremen, and it was demon
strated that a fire can not make much
Roadway against our brave boys. There
was no insurance on the personal property
of the occupants; the house was thoroughly
fl ,oied with water.
The property is fully covered by insur-
ance in the Niagara Fire Insurance Co.,
OF New York. and the Lion Fire Co., OF
London, Ker & May, Agents.
