Four Alabama Snake Stories.
From the Birminqham Aoe

A correspondent in Winston county sends the
following: Last week two young men were
fishing in mill pond near here. Approaching
an old log, which was partially in the water,
they discovered large number of very small
snakes summing themselves on the log. AS they
started to advance a little nearer the log a
large watersnake came out of the pond, and
putting its head on the end of the log, opened
its mouth very wide, at the same time making
low Kissing sound. Instantly there was a COM
motion among the little snakes. and as rapidly
as possible they darted into the open mouth of
the big reptile and disappeared down its throat.
The young men counted forty seven small
snakes as they entered the open mouth of the
large one. When all were safely inside, the
mother snake. swollen to unusual size disap-
peared in the water"
From the piney woods down in Bibb county
comes the following: Several farmers in our
neighborhood have recently lost ali their pigs.
Mr.. Brown lost about twenty small pigs and
could find no trace of them. They would go
into the woods in the morning and in the even
ing the sowS would return without them. One
day last week Mr.. Brown and two of his sons
heard pig squeal in the woods near the house,
and they hurried out to see what was the mat
ter They found an immense black snake of
the variety known as the chicken snake in the
act of swallowing live pig, which was nearly
Two weeks old The big reptile had already
swallowed four pigs and was now swallowing
the fifth one. The snake was killed at once
and when its stomach was cut open the four
pigs came ont alive, but very weak and sick
The snake measured twenty-three inches in
circumference
Another chicken snake story comes from
Randolph county. Near B axes Ferry
large chicken snake drove sitting hen from
her nest and swallowed the fourteen eggs Two
days later the snake was killed, its stomach
opened, and twelve little chickens stepped out
Two of the eggs failed to hatch.
The best story yet received is from Bount
county. One day during the summer, while
several men were fishing in small creek, they
saw black snake start up a tree toward a
small birds nest. The two parent birds dis
C )vered the reptile as it was slowly creeping
along limb toward the nest where lay their
young. Instantly the two birds flew at the
snake, and with angry chirping began TO pick
vigorously at its eyes. In a few moments the
snake fell to the ground wrthing as if in great
pain. The fishermen killed it, and found that
The little birds had picked out both the
snakes eyes, and thereby saved their young
from harm

The Lights Went Out.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The love-sck passengers in a car attached to
a New York express train on the Pennsylvania
railroad were given chance to indulge their
propensity for nugging and kissing on Sunday
evening by the sudden darkness into which the
car was plunged after the train left Germantown
junction. The lights suddenly ceased to burn
and dude who sat with his best girl in for
ward seat remarked that the new tunnel was a
success, and Rugged his girl so hard that she
said in a smothered voice: "Oh, Charlie you
hurt" A clerical-loolnng gentleman, with a
long black beard, sat behind a charming
widow. and when Broad street station was
reached and the electric light flashed on the
scene the widow had only one diamond earring
while the other shone brightly from the clerical
looking mans whiSkers One passenger, who
did not look before he made the love leap, was
found in a dead faint with the arms of a colored
damsel round his neck and her face pressed
affecttionately against his own.

From Cradle to Coffin.

FROM the Ptct0T1dL West.
We rock the cradle gayly, and swing it to and
fro,
new life sleeps within it. In tender tones and
low,
mother soothes to slumber, in love notes soft
and mild.
While held in sleep and safety, there rests an
earth born child.
AS we rock the cradle gayly.
We Law aside the cradle, the bird it's nest has
flown,
And spread its pinions boldly to make its way
alone;
To fly to fall in sorrow, or rise and keep its
way,
Mid tolls, temptations, triumphs, fair fruitage
of life's day,
As we lay aside the cradle.
We bend above the coffin, another soul has fed ::
The earthly fight is over is won, or lost, or
dead.
The babe who in the cradle first knew of earthly
strife,
And there with hands closed folded, lies all we
know of life,
As we bend above the coffin.

a DOG-FACED GIRL.
Her Expression, Gait anS Speech Have
Canine Peculiarities.

Canine Peculiarities.
MIDDLETowS, N. Y, Sept. 29.-In lonely
cabin on the banks of Otselic creek, in the town
of Willett, Cortland county, may be found a re-
markable freak of nature known through the
country roundabout as the dog faced girl "
Here mother and daughter, named respectively
Orilla and Sarah Walls, live alone, and in
poverty, gaining precarious support by pick
ing berries and gathering roots and herbs, and
from gifts at the hands of the numerous visl-
tors whom curiosity brings to their hut.
The popularity of the dog-faced girls fea-
prOtrude from the head and neck to an eXces-
sive and unnatural degree, and in a shape
striklngly like dogs snout or muzzle Other
wise she is well formed and fully developed for
girl of Is years, and is notably robust and
active. But she is weak minded, and the
wonderful thing about her imbecility is its
canine characteristics in voice and movement.
Up to about 10 years old the girl persisted in
running about on all fours, and in this posture
she could outrun any child other age. Her vocal
utterances, also, were marvelously like the
barking or bowling of dog. Asshe approached
the period of womanhood she learned to walk
erect, and her voice lost something OF its canine
tones, but her features and utterances are still
SO Enthusiastically dog like as to attract marked
attention and wonder,
She has constant stream of visitors, includ-
ing physicians and scientists as well as ordinary
curiosity mongers and these are told truth
fully that her father, who died shortly after
her birth, was in no way maliformed or pecu-
figure, and ordinarily intelligent None of the
dog faced girls visitors has as yet suggested
any plausible theory of the freak which gave
her to the world.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-10-02

| Dispatches which now and then appear in
the northern newspapers with respect to
the effect which the yellow fever in some of
| the southern states will have upon the No
vember election in those states, display an
| ignorance so profound that it is amusing.
a dispatch in Sundays New York Sun
| from Louisville, KY, says that a gentleman
has just arrived in that city from the south
who announces that the democrats are in
danger of losing Louisiana and Florida, be-
cause so many of the white people have left
those states on account of the fever, and
will not return until after the November
| election. He further states that the colored
people could not get away because they had
not the means, and that they will about all
90 to the polls and vote the republican
ticket
1t is doubtful if single white man has
left Louisiana on account of the fever, for
the very good reason that, so far as any
body knows, there is no yellow fever in that
state. 1t is quite certain that the usual
number of white voters will be at the polls,
and that as great percentage of colored
votes will be cast for the democratic ticket
as in any previous election.
With reference to Florida ii is quite safe
to say that great many more white repub-
hcans than white democrats have left the
state on account of the fever, and that the
number Of white people who are absent is
not by any means as great as it is thought
to be in the north. The fever has made its
appearance in only few places in Florida,
and the white inhabitants of those places
are largely northern people, the majority of
whom are doubtless, republicans. This
being the case, the presumption is that more
white republicans are absent from the state
than white democrats.
If the managers of the republican ma
tional campaign are expecting that the yell
low fever will give them either Louisiana
Florida, they will find themselves
greatly disappointed. When the polls open
on election day the democrats will be there,
and they will see to it that the interests of
the Democratic party are not neglected.
