Stories OF big Snakes.

The sea-serpent has q fresh-water
relative, who, according to the natives
of the Amazon country, 10 many faith
oms in length, and appears successive
ly in different parts of the river. They
call it the Mai d 'agoa-the mother oil
the water. TIE fable doubtless arose
from the appearance of some huge an
aconda, of which, it is said, some in
dividuals have been killed measuring
AZ feet in length.
One day a native and his little son
10 years Of age went up the river to
gather wild fruit. The canoe was
pushed on sloping. sandy shore, amid
grove of wild guava and myrtle
trees. The father entered the forest,
leaving his boy to mind the canoe.
While the little fellow was playing
in the water, under tho shade of the
trees, a huge anaconda suddenly
wound its coils around him. His cries
brought his father to the rescue.
Rushing forward, he seized the ana
conda boldly by the head. tore its jaws
asunder, and released his son before
the reptile had crushed his bones.
The water snakes inhabiting tho Ia
goons of Venezuela have the strength
and voracity of the boa-constrictor,
and. like them. kill their prey by crush
ing it in their huge muscular folds.
Their jaws are furnished with row
of sharp and crooked teeth, bent in
ward. With these the snake seizes its
prey and holds it securely until the
crushed victim drops.
In darting upon cow orbull drink
ing ut the lagoon the snake aims Mt iis
snout, and when once the terrible
fangs have been buried in the flesh the
animal seldom escapes. 1t is only BY
cutting the snake in two that even | II
strongest bull can conquer the reptile.
Sometimes bull does cut its advcr'
sary asunder in the struggle. Then
the victor proudly marches at the head
of its troop Of cows with half of the
snake hanging from his nose Io1tA's

OF Committing Suicide.
Philadelphia Special: The mode of
destruction adopted by Mrs. sophronia
Wahnklin, tall, handsome woman of
forty years, at the rooms Of the Young
Women's Christian association, Market
Square and Mill street, Germantown,
lately. is probably the first case of its
kind ever brought to light, as she swal-
lowed upward of two hundred small
opium pills.
On Tuesday morning Mrs. Wahnklin
bought nine hundred opium pills. Inthc
afternoon she left the house, saying that
she was gong away, and at 4 clock she
reached the rooms of the Young Women's
Christian association, where she met Mrs.
Sharp, custodian of the building, and
asked that she be allowed to remain over
night. as she had no place TO go to and
was to take the IL o'clock train for the
West. She pleaded SO hard that finally
the custodian allowed her to remain.
Ats clock she was shown up to her
room by Mrs. Sharp. After being up
stairs about an hour she camo down, and
asked if there were any children about
the building TO 60 to the druggist for her.
On being told there were none, she said
she would go herself, and accordingly she
revisited Smyther's pharmacy, securing
200 more of the pills, and returned to her
room. She told Mrs. Sharp not to call
her in the morning, as she warted to rest.
What she did with the 300 pills in the
morning is net known, but it is a settled
fact that she swallowed the 300 she pro-
cured in the evening on going to her
room, after which she Invested herself of
all her clothing, and tying handkerchief
securely about her mouth and nose to
prevent her breathing, and burying her
face in the pillow, she lay down to die.
At o'clock in the afternoon she died in
terrible commissions.
Mrs. Wahnklin had made thorough
preparations for her death. On table
laid will, in which she left everything
to her sister-in-law, who lives in Boxbor-
ough, and on another table Bible was
found open. Her entire clothing was
freshly clean, and apparently had been
just put on. Her effects consisted of

one-time we'll do Southern merchant,
who failed in business in 1876, and whose
death took place five years ago. Those
who knew her say that she has never re-
covered from the grief which her hus-
bands death caused her.

The Queen Of Trarnps.

The Queen of Tramps was o guest at
the Hoboken police station Thursday
night. This remarkable woman, now
in her 18th year, is Sarah Dougherty.
She was born in Londonderry in 1914
and emigrated to this country in 1S4O
Immediately after her arrival she be-
gan her nomadic life, and has visited
every section of this country and wit
messed all the important celebrations.
She las seen all the Presidents from
Pierce to Cleveland inauguratcd.
During the war she was close to the
scene Of the big battles, and was one
OF tho first women to reach the south
ern Confederacy after the surrender of
Lee. During the Centennial celebra-
ton she was in Philadelphia. and when
Custer fell was close to tho spot where
he was ambushed and killed.
She is not an educated woman, but
has retentive memory and is rhym-
ster. She wrote poem touching the
death of Custer and recites with con-
siderable dramatic power. Sac de-
lights to tell of the leading events in
the history of the country during the
last thirty years. and with ponderous
particularly details the prominent at
fractions in the leading cities in the
United States and the many interest
ing celebrations that have taken
place in the large cities ut which she
was present.
She has studied the Bible, and has
several odd conundrums to PROFOUND
ministers of the Gospel She is fond
Of children, and expends her few
pennies in purchasing candy for the
little ones, while she goes hungry.
The Queen of Tramps is vigorous,
and her long siege of exposure and
suffering has left few marks on her de-
spite her advanced age. She left the
police station and the board that had
served as bed as refreshed and con-
tented as if she had occupied q luxur-
iously-appointed room in hotel. She
moved quickly down Newark street
toward the ferry. remarking that she
wanted to make call in this city be
fore rcsuming her journey. Her des.
tination is Washington, to again see
Congress in session.-Nev York
