THE OPERA HoUsE.-The eminent Irish
comedian J S Murphy, supported By Il
carefully selected company of unusual ez
ce'lence, Will appear at the Opera House to-
night in the beautiful Irish drama Shaun
Rhue' The San Francisco Alta says
"Mr. Murphy ia q pleasing commedian.
HIS Efforts are not strained, and his success
is in the nsturalness of his acting. He is
constantly indulgiog in some by play that
causes the audience 10 forget the actor and
gaze upon the original. There are many
strong situations which add much to the
success OF the piece, and there is not an in
lerior actor in The company but every
member Of The troupe is an artist and a Ia,
vorte with the audience"
The bright Irish comedy drama entitled
The B ack Tbornn will be presented at the
0pera Hous- on Wednesday night next, in

In the face OF denials made by
church members, we can prove
that Rev. Ashley came hither to
investigate the Sigh matter. Rev.
Lund read Il letter conveying such
information to a meeting OF his
churoh-Rev. Ashley wlOte Sigh
that he would meet him here on
the 9th ult. on that business, and
again wrote him that he would lie
over here two days in waiting tol
him, which he did. Sigh failed
to materialize, but the lie that Rev.
came here for a foreign purpose
eprang unbidden. Why Sigh did
not appear in court we do not know
perhaps because he didn't have
to- lie has been q thorn in the
side Of the church for a long time
creating a fostering sore and refus
ing to be pulled of. He must hav'

Sad Dcat1h.

Death always produces sadness,
touches the sympathetic chord OF
some heart, whether the victim be
high or low, patrician or plebian.
But when it strikes down a young
person just budding into manhood
or womanhsod, the visitation star
ties the bereft and causes their
blood to stagnate and the feun
tain of tears to break It's pent up
forces.
On Tuesday morning last Allen
Bonnell, eldest sen Of Edwin X.
Bonnell, died at the home Of his
parents in this town. On the 9th
nit. his father met HIM by appoint
ment at Las Vegas, en- route from
his old Iowa home to White Oaks,
where he anticipated engaging as a
business helper to his father, and
make II start in lite tor himself
Before leaving Iowa he had such
a cold that he was forced to sus-
pend his studies in school. With
out waiting to unload himself OF
his ailment he came hither and
contracted an additional chill every
mile of the altitude he assembled,
which took fast hold uuon him, 50
that when he arrived at his faith
er's residence on the evening OF
the 30th ult., he took to his bed
and did not live to eat a meal at
the family table. The disease at
times seemed to relax it's hold, but
never released it. At times hope
seemed to bespeak recovery, and
words applied to another expressed
the feelings of kindred as they
watched the poor boy fighting the
fell destroyer:
We watched his breathing thro' the night,
His breathing soft and low,
As in his breast the wave of life
Kept h%eaving TO and fro.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied.
We tho't him dying when he slept,
And slceping when he died.
The deceased was born in lay
lor County, Iowa, Sept. 10th, 1858
and was therefore, at his death,
Just Is years and Z months cid
His reputation was that OF a mode
boy, and having had superior edu.
cational facilities, improved them
and was we'll equipped to be OF
service to his father and himself in
the business world.
Wednesday forenoon the remains
were taken to Town Hall, where
an eloquent and impressive sermon
was delivered by Rev. Lund.-
/, They were then taken to the cenle
terry, followed by Is carriages il
line, many adults on foot, and tA'
rear of the procession tringed BY 1
troop of school children.

GIGANTIC SNAKES.
Some OF the Fresh Water Relatives OF the
Famous Sea-SerPcnt.

Some OF the Fresh Water Relatives of the
Famous Sea-SerPcnt.
The sea-scrpont has a fresh-water rcla-
tive, who, according TO the natives Of the
Amazon country, is many fathOms in
length, and appears successfully IN differ
ent parts Of the river. They call IL the
Maj a. a9oa-the mother Of the water. The
fable doubtless arose from the appearance
of some huge anaconda, Of which, il is said,
some individuals have been killed measur-
ing forty-two feet in length.
One day a native and his little son Of ten
years Of age went up the river to gather
wild fruit. The canoe was pushed on a
sloping, sandy shore, amid grove Of wild
guava and and myrtle trees The father
entered the forest, leaving his boy 70 mind
the canoe Whilst the little fellow was
playing in the water, under the shade OF
the trees, n huge anaconda suddenly wound
its coils around hun. His cries brought the
father 10 the rescue. Rushing forward, he
seized tho anaconda boldly by the head,
tore its jaws asunder, and released his son
before the reptils had crushed ms bones.
The water-snakcs mhabiting the lagoons
of Venezuela have the strength and voracity
Of the boa-constrictor, and, like them, kill
their prey by crushing il in their huge mus
cular folds. Their jaws are furnished with
row OF sharp and crooked teeth, bent in
ward With these the snake seizes it's prey,
and holds it securely until the crushed vic
tim drops. In darting upon a cow or bull,
drinking at the lagoon, the snake aims at
its snout, and when once the terrible fangs
have been buried in the flesh, the animal
seldom escapes. II is only by cutting the
snake in two that even the strongest bull
can Conquer the reptile. Sometimes bull
does cut it's adversary asunder in the strug-
gle. Then the victor proudly marches at
the head of its troop of cows, with half of
the snake hanging from his nose Youths

spring of the RATHER, which, rendered
furious by the rope, sprang viciously
at him. clearing over seven fee
his fangs just catching the
edge of PoweIl's coat, but not
holding. Then the circus began. The
snake was a powerful fellow, and he
thrashed about in very wild way. At
times he would follow the rope toward
Powell with a vim that indicated his
business-like intentions II he could secure
a tete-a-tete, but Powell desired no closer
acquaintance, aud kept at the end OF the
lasso, trying all the while to get the moose
frightened. This was accompiis he'd at the
end of an hours hard struggle, and
Powell sat down for a rest and to con-
template his captive. One Of his men on
horseback came along shortly after, aud
between them they managed to tie
up the "sarpint" and pack IL to Bowling
Green, where IL was safely housed i'm a
strong box. The snake measured nine
feet seven inches from tip to tip. The
center Of his body was as large around as
an ordinary mans thigh, aud he had
fifteen rattles and a button of extraor-
binary size. The snake was extremely
vicious and lively, aud Powell says its
singing" sounded like the rafting of the
snares OF tenor drum, and was terri bly,
loud and terrifying.

LUCK OF cASTAwAYS.
Adventures of Seamen Wrecked on {
Coasts OF Lonely Islands.

Adventures of Seamen Wrecked on the
Coasts OF Lonely Islands.
Castaways who suffer for months on
uninhabted islands are not so few in
number as might be supposed, says the
New York Sun. The English newspapers
announced few weeks ago that vessel
was TO be sent to the Crozet Islands in the
Indian Ocean, almost within sight of ant
arctic ice, to rescue some shipwrecked
people who are supposed to be there.
Many of these far southern islam DIS are
out of the track of ships. aud castaways
might live on some of them for years
without being discovered. The Crozets
are famous as the uninviting home of sew
eral shipwre cked crews. Awhile ago the
survivors of the seal er Strathmore reach
ed the Crozets, where they lived for
many weeks on penguin flesh and
eggs before a vessel luckily happened to
heave in sight. A few weeks ago there
arrived in England eight of the crew of
the Derry Castle, which was wrecked off
the Auckland islands, south of New Zea-
land. They had hard struggle for life
during the three months they spent on the
islands. Shell fish and sea animals were
all their food, and a regul ar diet of
oysters palled on their appetites long be-
fore they escaped it, There was timber
matches, and they had to eat their food
raw until one of them happened to find
cartridge in his pocket They were thus
able to kindle a fire, whose flames were
fed night and day during the remainder
of their stay in this insu ar prison. One
day they found a bottle of salt, which
proved a most desirable adjunct to their
oysters. The salt is supposed to have been
left there by the crew of the General
Grant, who were cast away on these
islands twenty years ago, and lived there
many months. They had saved some
creature comforts from their ship, which
rendered existence more endurable. Their
exile was far longer than that of the crew
of the Derry Castle, whose signal fires
were observed after they had lived three
months on fish.
Among the most terrible of shipwrecks
are those of the whalers and sealers in
Behring Sea and the Arctic ocean. 1t is
probable that some of these unfortunates
reach land only to perish in the desolate
regions of the north. Our Government,
was requested a few years ago by our
signal service exped ton to Point Barrow
to maintain a permanent station there
for the relief of shipwrecked sailors, but
no bill was ever passed on the sugges-
tion.
