lin Massachusetts, the law recognizes In the mod
ern railroad equal rights with that accorded 10
navigabe waters-that is, neither has the right OF
way-that while the vessel has forever had right
to massage through navigable channels, the State
also has right to charter railroads and necessarily
to obstruct navigable waters. Upon inquiry we
find that the Old Colony Railroad closes It's draws
for fifteen minutes before and after trains time,
except In Boston proper, where such Il rule "ouid
probably keep q draw closed all the time on ac-
count Cf the numerous trains. Vessels are let
through this active draw at tho best convenience
of passenger trains without regard to tho statute
which permits the fifteen minute arrangement re-
ferred to above.

Mothers as MISCELLANEOUS.

For years the world has been on moral
crusade against the employment OF child
rem IN mines aud factories. while the far
greater evils that result from the mothers
going out as wage-earnerS have attra ted
comparatively little attention Labor,
within certain limits, Is good for the child,
giving IL a wholesome moral discipline,
and training II for the business by which
il is TO earn its livelihood; but when
married woman has t. neglect her natural
duties for the responsibilities that proper
ly belong to the other sex, il Is time for
humanity to protest in the name OF her
offspring. No one individual can fulfill
satisfactorily the double or, / should say,
the triple function of bearing and rearing
chill iren, and providing for their MAIN
tenance. | am labOring woman myself,
and have met with some success as
bread-winner; and | know that the con-
dit,ons OF performing this function salts
factorily are quite Incompatible with those
arduou5 aud important duties which make
such heavy demands upon every cOnscien-
tiOus mother, especially among the pc r.
In the homes Of the very poor there are
no hired servants to keep the household
machinery running smoothly while the
mi -tress Is away. The wife Of the labor
ing man is frequently cook, nurse, house.
maid. laundress, all in one; and IL she
must go out as a breadwinuer besides,
what Is to prevent the domestic engine
from running Oh the track and getting
itself hopelessly ditchedy
OF the two evils, If both are evils, | am
persuaded that 1t is better that the child
should go out to labor than the mother.
Liberty, uncurbed by the check rain of
parental restraint is more than DOUBT

child that takes its mothers place In the

a SNAKE FIGHT.
The Deadly Battle Between King Snake
and Black Racer.

The Deadly Battle Between King Snake
and Black Racer.
Near Tallahassee on the Jackson estates
witnessed battle between the king snake
and the black snake that was lively and en-
Pertaining. The moccasin is usually cock
OF the walk and naturally makes a meal of
the rattlesnake, but the little yellow and
black striped king snake whips both of
these and all other species. Ny attention
was attracted by the cries Of the negroes,
and fastening to the spot l found king
snake coiled around an enormous black
reptile strangling his breath out. The ne
groes stated that both had been awakened
from the same log, where they had hiber-
mated during the winter, By tho warm sun.
and the king Immediately drove out the
black fellow and chased him about one hun
dred yards. wanted to see renewal Of
combat and fair play, and had the combat
ants separated. The black started to run
away, but the king seized him by the tail
with his mouth uud instantly coiled about
the black and took him by the throat.
He tightened his cords and held on 10 the
blacks throat, occasionally smelling OF the
blacks mouth 10 ascertain If it breathed.
The operation lasted an hour, when the
black, being dead, the king glided away to
his hole. The combats between the king,
RATHER and moccasin are more terrific. Rat
tiers in this State grow TO enormous size to
such an extent that their skins make very
desirable leather for pocket-books and fancy
articles. Both noccasin and rattler, when
torrnented or in danger, bite themselves
and die of their own virus.
Not less exciting was a combat wit
messed at Pensacola navy yard between a
porpoiso and shark. The porpoise was not
over six feet long and the shark was three
times that length. The porpoise chased tho
shark for several miles in a circle not
over four hundred yards in diameter.
Both animals made terrific leaps out of tho
water, and at every approach tho shark
struck desperately at the porpoise with his
tail. At last the shark wearied q little and
diminished his speed accordingly. With in
credible speed the porpoiso dashed ahead,
dove under the big tyrant, and crushed in
the sharks neck with his heavy jaws. The
shark rolled over dead and floated away
with the tide. Natives always battle in
presence Of school of porpoisc, II possible,
because no shark dares TO come within q
half mile. Tho porpoisc never molests the
human being, and, like the seals, is said TO
protect dead body. A pilot fish always
ahead of the shark, and, similarly, q
riIo. snake usually goes ahead Of a rattle
