There is great rivalry between the
political managers in New York city,
each party endeavoring to outstrip the
other in producing unique attractions
for the voter. The Republican mana
gers have adopted a very ingenious
method of spreading the doctrines of
protection among the people. They
have hired spaces in the street cars
among the advertisements, and propose
to place there great protection truths
in neatly printed forms. This is in
tended, we infer, to offet the Demo
cratic stereOptican another ingenious

A Snake Struck by Lightning.

During the thunderstorm that visit
ed Crescoville the other day a maple
tree in front of Miner Cresco's resi-
dence was struck by lightning. The
only damage done to the tree was the
chipping off a piece out of the trunk,
as if it had been done with an axe,
about midway between the ground and
the lower branches. After the storm
was over Mr.. Cresco went out to look
at the tree. On the ground at the foot
of the tree lay an immense blacksnake,
dead, holding in it's mouth a young
robin. There was a robins nest in the
tree and it was known to have had
three young ones in it the day before.
A boy climbed the tree and found two
young robins in the nest alive and live
ly. 1t is supposed that the blacksnake
had climbed the tree and robbed the
nest of one of the newly-hatched birds
and was descending the trunk as it
was struck by lightning and was killed
with its prey in its mouth.

American Inventions in Madrid.

The Spaniard makes no distinction be-

but labels them indiscriminately as On
gleses." American" here means South
American, and If you tell the natives you
are an American they are apt to express
surprise that you do not speak Spanish as
iuently as they do. What is particularly
aggravating is to find a number of Amerf.
can inventions utilized in Spain and in.
variably placed to the credit of the 'In-
g%leses." was annoyed to find hat street
cars are supposed to be an English inven-
ton; but my indignation rose to fever
heat when l entered a place marked
English Drinks" and found-a genuine
American soda water fountain, an article
positively unknown in England.
The word "Ingleses" meets the eve at
every corner in modern Madrid. There
are for sale English hats, English ~cravats,
English biscuits, English candles and
matches, etc. One also comes across
German goods o~ccasionally-a photographic
establishment or a Wagner opera in the
window of a music store by the side of
Garment" but the English predominates,
even over the French, which has always
hitherto made its influence felt In Madrid.
In fact, the Spanish capital has never been
a thoroughly Spanish city. Though
known to history almost a thousand years.
it remained n mere village until Charles
V made 1t his occasional residence, and
Phillip II. in 1860, his capital. and even
then it did not grow with special rapidity,
for of its 800, 600 inhabitants 300, 900 have
been added in the last thirty years-con-
sequently a large part of the city has an
essentially modern aspect, resembling
other European cities.-Cor. New York
