the less a capricious friend, and can
not always be summoned or dismissed

succeeded by others; too long for
tired patience, too short as they bring

around as sometimes IN spite OF our

We gave a day to CawnpOOr, thirty

LAO, 900 souls, has a large native
leather industry and some fine rice
mills, and jute mandatory which
was very interesting.
We drove over the vast military
cantonment, admired its comfortable
officers bungalows, and its long line
of large two story barracks. arranged
IN echelOn on one side of the great
parade ground. Here the fury of the
mutiny was unrelenting. and the tiger
like heart OF Mana Sahib had an op-
portunity to exhibit its ferocious
quality. I stood by the monument
which covers the great well into which
he hurled 700 men, women and chill

thrown In while yet alive; some of the
children as yet unhurt. I then ceased
to wonder at the bitter feeling so
many English here have for the ma

beauty looks down with touching

The Dukes Snake killer.

F rom LOngman's Magazine.
When the duke of Argyll was sec
rotary OF state for India, he, as a
student of natural history, took a
special interest in the question Of
killing poisonous snakes. And there
came to him Ones day at the India
office the cunning inventor of a ma
chine called an asphyxiatOr, by
which it was easily demonstrated
that the snakes could be killed in
large numbers in the holes IN which
they dwell in India. It WAS not diff
tiCult to show his grace that when the
asphyXiatOr was applied to a rabbit
hole the rabbit must either bolt or
be suffOcaUed. The snake would be
treated in the same way as a rabbit.
So the duke ordered some twenty
asphyxiatOrs, and sent them out to
different parts of India. It happened
that / was employed near Calcutta,
and the government of Bengal were
pleased to order me to make a trial
of the consignment Of asphyXiatOrs,
which they regarded as so many
white elephants. The asphyxiators
were unpacked, and the instructions
which accompanied them were read.
Il a
a pestilently- smelling paper was to be
burned. There was a wheel to be
tnrned, so as to send the smoke
from the burning paper through
a funnel into long nozzle
which was to be inserted into the
snakes hole. This it viii be seen
required the services OF two men, one
to keep up the fire and turn the wheel,
and the other to direct and hold the
nozzle-pipe. 1t was also requisite
that third man should stand by
with a stick. to kill the snake boiling
from it's hole. We turned out with
the apparatus properly manned,
lighted the FIRE to get up smoke, and
applied the nozzle to a hole in a bank
near the stable, which was supposed
to hold a snake. The smoke was
injected and out there bolted q ter
rihed rat. The man with the stick
struck at the rat and broke the
nOzzle-pipe. The man at the nozzle
pipe Jumped back, against the man
who was turning the wheel, and IN
their fright they both tumbled down.
The rat escaped, but if it had been q
snake instead of a rat it is very
probable that one of the three oper-
atOrs might have been bitten. The
men lost confidence in the machine.
and declined to work it. Tt was taken
indoors, and put into an anteroOm,
where the native night-watchman
usually took up his quarters. One
cold night the Waterman closed the
doors of the room and lit a quantity
OF the medicated paper TO warm him
self In the morning a Well-asphyxi-
ated Waterman was found, but luckily
he was brought round with deluges of
cold water. This, however, was the
end Of the official career OF the Duke
Of ArgyiPs snake-asphyxia5or in
Bengal.

A DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Members of the House Consider Means

hofa

Members of the House Consider Means
and Methods to Shorten the Tariff De-
bate.
WASHINGTON, June l1.-About seventy
five Democratic members of the House met
in caucus at the Capitol last night to con-
slider means and methods to shorten the
tariff debate A number of propositions
looking to restriction in debate on amend
ments under the five minute rule, by the
application of the gag law adopted by
the Republicans during Mr.. keifer's speak
ership, and by refusing extension of time
to members discussing amendments, were
advanced and discussed in the caucus, but
no definite action was taken. Mr.. Mill an
nounced early in the session that Congress
man Mckinley ON behalf of the Republicans
of the House had requested suspension of
consideration of the tariff bill during the
time of the meeting of the Republican
National Convention at Chicago. and that
during the interim that appropriation bills
be taken up and advanced. This PROPOSE
ton met with favor in the caucus but
final disposition of the matter was left with
the Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee
Mr.. Scott, of Pennsylvania, is understood
to have favored the application of the Gag
Law" with view of fastening action on
the tariff bill and while a majority of the
caucus seemed to favor this as final means
of shortening debate. il was thought best to
let debate run as il has for while.

An evident misapprehension in Patrick

those pre-eminent leaders of the republican
party. met Mr.. Blaine abroad, and saw
him last in the last week Of August, 1887,
and he had not then determined to inter
fere and prevent by his own act his own
candidacy for the presidency, but /
was strongly impressed that the
drift of his purpose was in that direc-
ton, and that he had two influen-
tial motives-the first that he must regard
himself as defeated candidate for the
presidency, and the second. that he could
not endure the imputation that he was a
claimant Of the office. He told me that if
he could retire without disheartening his
friends and discouraging the republican
party he would do 1t, and his letters of
withdrawal were written when the
skies frightened for the republicans, and
not until then. The only message that l
conveyed was one from Mr.. Sherman to
Mr.. Phelps, and it was that if Mr.. Blaine
was a candidate Mr.. Sherman would not
be. This was long after the Toledo con-
vention; and may say that of the pro-
ceedings of that convention MIR. Blaine
spoke to me in terms of cordial approval.
He is not man in favor of factional per-
sonalities, and never was so.
