Literary Notes.


From the edition of Geo. P. Rowell & Cos
"American Newspaper Directory" published
April I'd tits twentieth year, it appears that
the Newspapers and Periodicals Of all kinds
issued in the United States and Canada, now
number 1870, showing gain Of 500 during
the last IL months and Of 1896 in 10 years
The publishers of the Directory assert that
the impression that when the proprietor of a
newspaper undertakes 10 state what has been
his exact circulation, he does not generally
tell the truth is an erroneous one: and they
conspicuously offer a reward OF $Ioo for
every instance in their book for this year,
where il can be shown that the detailed re-
port received from publisher was untrue.

TIE KING OF. SNAKES.
a Monster that Shaded His Eyes With
His Tail and Changed His Color.
From the Jackson (GnA ArqMs.

From the Jackson (GdA Argus.
As crowd of gentlemen stood on one Of
the principal streets of PeeksvIlle few days
since discussing the question of street rail
roads and electric lights, they heard a
weird, piercing scream that came from
northerly notwithstanding to issue from
the park just back of the college The noise
was heard again, and was repeated at inter
walls OF about two minutes. Directly the
TRANCE cry drew nearer and nearer until 1t
came in sight When it did so, there was a
vision that would have made the ruddy
drops run cold about the heart OF an Indian
and Strengthened the kinky locks of your
time honored brother in black. 1t was

its mouth large brindle dog

thOn, it'll q number of other brave men,
armed themselves with rifles, shotguns and
club-axes and started out in pursuit of the
huge reptile. They came within gunshot
OF the monster as it crossed the creek. A
volley of leaden missiles we're turned loose
upon it. The only effect produced was to
cause the snake to raise its TAIL presuma-
bly, as shield for its eyes. 1t was at this
Juncture that the most astonishing phenom-
enon ever recorded in history, or handed
down by tradition, unfolded before
the pursuers AS the tail arose it turned
TO deep red color, on going a lit
tie higher it turned to a beautiful
green; little higher and blue was devel-
oped, then yellow and purple, and when the
tall had reached a perpendicular point all
the colors seen in nature had been most
wildly displayed But the crowd was not
to be blutfed in any such style, and renewed
the attack with warmth, making it SO
warm that the snake made wild rush for
LeGuin's mill. 1t drew up under the mill
house, ard prepared TO live or die fighting
for its country. Bullets were showered on
it for an hour, but the final crash came at
last The mighty wonder coiled itself
about the pillars of the ponderous establish
ment, after the manner of Sampson of old,
and, emitting an agonizing squawk, began to
contract its muscles. The millhouse trem-
bled. Another squawk, another moment
gone, and the mill and ginhouse was level
with the ground, and with it the king of
reptiles passed away. AS the crowd turned
to leave they looked back and stimuli
taneOuslY uttered the words: How have
the mighty fallen!n The remarkable char
acter of this story, taken in connection with
reliable citizens and the dsmembered tim
hers OF fallen structure are submitted as
evidence of its authenticity and entities it
