STORIES OF THE WAR.

Feeling very keenly the weight of response
bility with which he labored, the writer has
endeavored TO crticise, carefully. every story
sent 10 THE CONSTITUTIONS in response to its
advertisement offering prizes for short stories
founded on incidents of the war.
The reading of these sketches has been an
interesting, If la5orious task, and
there are many of them equal to the
sketches that are being published in
various periodicals throughout the land.
This Is good showing and indicates how
wide spread Is the influence OF journal that
encourages the laudable desire 10 win from
the waste basket of time the thousands OF un-
written incidents that are part and parcel OF
the history Of the most momentous conflict OF
modern times.
The writer has made his decision according

Life is full Of disappointments, but these who

On Mr. John White plantation one day

Battle With a Monster Serpent
ORLANDO, Fla, September 19.-Mr. V, q
gentleman living out in the fatwoods of this
county, some distance from town, narrates the
following snake story, which he vouches for
as being true. He had noticed signs for several
days of the presence of large snake of some
hunt it up. He soon found fresh signs of
where it had crawled through the sand,
and he followed up the trail. The
traces left by the crawling reptile were
he followed it without difficulty. Suddenly,
on turning around big bunch of scrub pal
metto bushes, he was greatly startled to find
himself face to face with the largest snake ne
had ever seen in Florida. 1t was what is COM
monty called coach whip, member of the
boa constructor family, which kills its prey by
compression and then, after covering it with
saliva, proceeds to dine. This particular
snake when disturbed, was very busily en-
gagged in the pleasing pastime (for the snake
no report from the rabbitD of swallowing
a big rabbit. 1t was only half down, however
and Mr.. V. very kindly stood to one side until
tne reptile mad completed Its meal. 1t showed
fight when first disturbed, but as the intruder
showed no disposition to modest it the snake
leisurely finished its meal and then started off.
Mr.. V. then started toward it to intercept its
escape. On this the snake became fighting
mad instantly. 1t raised itself nearly to the
height of man, kissing fiercely and racing
back and forth, approaching nearer to Mr.. V.
each time. Its kissing grew louder and angrier,
while its tongue darted in and out in a most
horrible way.
Mr.. V. began to think that he was the hunt
ed party after all, and said afterward that
he then made a mental resolve never to hunt
any more snakes, especially large ones. FL
nally he quoted his nerves and fired a load
of buckshot into the wrathful serpent, striking
it about two feet from its head and breaking
its back. Another shot, given before lie APP
preached too near, finished it. Upon meas
uring it he found the extreme length from tip
to tip was 16 feet and inches. 1t was full
inches across the widest part of the head. Its
color was of a dark brown at the head. and be-
coming lighter toward the TAIL Witch latter
for foot or two was nearly pure white.
1t is thought that the mate to it is still
around, and people go through the woods with
great caution, as they have no great desire to
encounter it.

About milo from Shiloh, down in the bot

with only the pine trees and the wild briars
about it, is n solitary grave.
Winters and summers have left their trace
upon the crumbling stone--lonely and mourn
full and desolate. The upright slab at the

! Bijah took the money, and Character fol-
lowed him. Making towards the swamp they
/ soon arrived in the woods. Bilah turned then
and went straight towards Shiloh. Character
| followed for a while in silence.
Elijah +" he said presently, "if we goes
! much furder We meets de yankees"
Character" said the other stopping, you
1 go back"
! ~ goes wild de money. Bijah."
| The other turned again and walked on
toward Shiloh, while Character followed in
his footsteps. They reached the bank Of the
creek.
"Bijah," said the old man, "here we stops.
DE Yankees can't BIO fur, an We buries de
money here"
Biiah thought for moment and then
dropped upon his knees and began scooping up
the leaves and earth with his hands. Into the
shallow hole the gold and money were put,
and the spot covered again with leaves and
tWigs.
AS they arose from their knees they stopped
to listen. They heard the tramp of the men
and the rattle of arms AS they reached the
road tho yankees came over the hill not two
hundred yards away. Bijah stopped and 80
did Character.
Hello, there" hailed yankee sergeant,
"you niggers been buryin' moneyW
Biiah nodded.
White folks skase o. money desc days."
said Character, "let lone niggers"
"Shut your mouth !" said the sergeant with
an oath. "Where is the money hid?"
The question was addressed to Bijah, and as
he spoke the sergeant drove his bayonct into
the ground, leaving the gun inverted within
four feet Of tho two negroes.
"Out with it niggerl Where's the money!"
Fright down dar-"
The sentence was never finished. Character
lowered the smoking gun, and Bijah lay at
his feet, the blood squirting from the wound
over the heart.
They took old Character to the nearest tree,
fixed tho rope around his neck, and tossed it
over limb
Now" said the sergeant, "once for all
where is that money!"
There was no answer.
SO Character died. They went off and left
his body hanging there, and noxt day it was
found and buried.
After the war was all over and the garrison
stationed at Shiloh, one of the yankee soldiers
told the story Of Characters death. The story
was repeated, and the list started for tomb
stone. Before night there was enough
enough and TO spare.
On the third Sunday in August, 1865, Char
acters funeral was preached. From far and
near the people, old and young, and rich and
poor came TO the grave and listened in rever-
ent respect and with bowed heads to tho story
OF that simple life. They tell that story to
their children in Shiloh today, and their chill
dren will tell ii to their childrens children.

If there is a more courteous gentleman in
all the great west than Colonel Dubif we should
like his address. We referred to the colonel the
other day as an unhung thief. 1t was only our
way, but he took exceptions and called at the office
on Tuesday and knocked US down. The blow was
delivered in the most genteel manner, and was not
accompanied with any verbal utterances to shock
our sensibties. Neither did the colonel gouge our
eyes or chew our ears after we were down. He
cool, calm and composed, and we freely admit that
we got up with an increase of fifty per cent in re-
spect for him. Our was skinned, and we
knocked an auction bill into 'pi as we fell, but
we have no grudge to satisfy. The colonel could
do no less, and we thankful he did no more.
We shall be pleased to see him again.

Nothing Definite To Be Done In tho
senate-The Carlisle Case.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Tho Senate has
no program Of work for tho coming week
beyond tho consideration. and. II possible,
the passage Of the deficiency bill and the
educational bill. Should there be any
time to spare, Il is likely to be consumed
In the consideration OF miscellaneous mat
tes on the calendar.
The regular order will probably give
way tomorrow for a speech from Senator
Frye, and later in the week for speeches
from Senators Palmer and Ingalls,. Senator
Fryes subject is not certainly known, but
it is assumed that he will speak upon the
question OF the fisheries. Senator Palmer
will address tho Senate upon the bill to
regulate immigration. and Senator Ingalls,
will speak upon general politics.
Aside from the extradition treaties the
Senate has little 10 do In secret session, and
as Senator Sherman, chairman OF the for
eign relations committee, Is 30 be absent
after wednesday. II Is thought probable
that the treaties will not be considered nj
any length. II at all, during the week.
The Thoebe- Carlisle contest IL expected
10 take precedence Of all other business in
the House Of Representatives, since Il Is
the present determination OF Mr.. Crisp,
who has charge Of the report Of the cleo.

DISPOSED Of before anything else Is done.
Should the Republican minority persist in
refusing 10 vote, Il Is doubtful whether a

Christmas. The pcrilous part Of the ride is
in crossing over the railroad tracks which
arc about one.third Of the distance from
tho stopping point. This is the point
where the most fun is to be seen by the
looker-on the tobogganers are going with
the utmost speed, when suddenly the sled
strikes the deep rut Of the track, and
leaping over the space between the rails
on to the next track, and across the second
track. II Is with the utmost difficulty
that the riders hold on over these rough
places, and many are wrecked and covered
with snow.
The ladies seem TO enjoy the sport ii
anything more than the men. They ride
in different ways some OF them sit in front
and the man behind. The only difficulty
about this style is that the lady, who, OF
course, has TO hold her Cinderilla-like feet
straight out and about foot above the
icy surface, strikes the cotton bags first or
knocks the breath out OF some fellow who
happens not TO be moving fast enough by
planting her feet squarely against his back,
and with good deal more force than
gentle love kick. This is the surest way,
though, for the lady to ride, for the man
sitting behind clasps her securely around
the waist and his extended muscular legs
serve as sideboards TO hold her on the
narrow seat A great many OF the ladies'
prefer this mode. On the other hand,
some reverse the position. If the
sled is not much longer than cigar box
or an oyster can, the young lady kneels on
the narrow margin, and her warm, soft
arms serve as muller around the young
mans neck, a ready gallant shoves the
lady in the back and the sled darts OIL.
The girl screams, ''Oh, OIL" and "Ain't
this nice" and the well-embraced
young man wishes that 1t was
thousand miles to the cotton bags. IL
will take good deal OF practice for the
girls TO learn TO hold on as they pass over
the railroad tracks, and those who do not
know how TO catch the proper hold, or are
not properly held. generally get left right
there, while tho sled and young man
slide on.
An exciting and amusing incident oc-
taking her first ride, and though warned
| quick for her. She was kneeling behind,
and az the sled made the first bump on
the car track II sent her a somersault over
the young mans head, but luckily she
landed on one Of his feet and was unhurt.
Walking back up the hill is tho only
drawback to the fun, and then, too, there
il no little danger in having ones shins
bruised and knocked from under him by
an unmanageable sled coming at break
neck speed
Several pennywisc boys have sleds that
will seat from two to four persons and rent
them at the rate Of cents a ride or 81 an
hour.
1t is certainly royal fun, and II you
haven't tried it get your sled and girl and
take slide.
