THIS SNAKE DRANK WHISKY

A correspondent near Hamilton, Mar-
ion county, sends the following: "Mr.
Oven Hatch, who keeps small grocery
store in this neighborhood, can vouch
for the truth Of this. Mr.. Hatch sells
lqnor as well as families groceries.
Keeping only small stock of liquor Oh
hand be keeps most of it in jugs. One
day last week two gallon jug of corn
liquor was left standing on the floor be-
hind the counter. Mr.. Hatch stepped
behind the counter and was surprise to
see large black snake coiled around the
jug with its head inside. He watched it
for moment aud soon discovered that
the snake was drinking liquor. It was
not disturbed, and after several inmates
it slowly uncoiled itself from the jug and
attempted to crawl away, but was too
drunk, and stretched itself ont on the
floor where it remained apparently asleep
until next day. Mr.. Hatch examined the
ing and found that the snake had drank
more than quart of the liquor. Two
days later the same snake returned, and
when it crawled under the counter I r.
Hatch wstcbed it. By coiling itself
around the jug and giving its neck o
twist around the stopper it was able to
remove the cork, and again thrust its
head inside and began to drink liquor.
Il was allowed to drink its fill again.
after which it was killed. Birmingham

A STRANGE FRATHEREp CANNIBAL.-

A STRANGE FRATHERED CANNIBAL.-
A remarkable bird, about the size of a
robin and much resembling kiugfsher
without the prominent tuft of feathers.
attracted considerable attention ON q
street in Kennebec, Me-, recently. Fly
ing aloug to an English sparrow, with
one dart of his hooked beak killed the
little bird, and then placing one foot
upon his victims breast proceeded to
tear in pieces and devour him. A stage
driver picked up the fesshered cannibal
and bis prey and carried them into near
by store, where, perched upon a counter.
he devoured the sparrow with apparent
relish The bird seemed to have no fear
of any one, and showed no antipathy
against anything but the sparrows,
several of which he killed during the
afternoon. His species was unknown to
any who saw him, but it is thought be
is one of the variety known as butcher
bird.-Maine Paper.

WHAT BONANZA" NEANs.-We f-e-
quently hear people interested in mining
speak of bonanzas, etc. All this is calcu
lated to make one believe that the term
is purely mining one, that it had its
origin there, and that, in fact, outside OF
mining world it has no existence or
meaning. This idea is very general.
though few people who use it can tell
what it means, except that if their mine
is in bonanza their stock will be worth
more than dime share. The fact is
that bononza is, or was originally, COM
pletely removed from mining, and at
first had,no connection whatever with it.
1t is Spanish term, and signifies "fair
wind and fair weather." 1t is of course,
applicable to mining, or any other branch
of business, in the sense in which it is
applied, as, if person is in "fair wind
and fair weather." it is pretty certain
that the balances will be piling up on
the right side of his ledger.-St. Louis

PRESENCE OF MIND.-We doubt whether
any previous age could match an instance
of presence of mind which occurred at
Dudley the other evening. A very young
couple were taking a stroll along the
canal and quarreled. The youth, throw
ing off his coat and hat, exclaime d,
'That will be my bed tonight" and
plunged into the water. Here we note
presence of mind in first getting rid of
the hat and coat. The young lady's con-
duct was equally admirable. Instead Of
falling down in faint, she quietly pick
ed up the hat and coat, and then made
her way to the nearest police station.
But it was the youth, after all, who gave
the most remarkable example of COM
mon sense under trying circumstances.
Finding the water unpleasantly cold, he
swan across to the other side. ran home,
threw off his wet things and jumped into
bed, where he was found by his beloved.
Such suitable couple should certainly
mate.-LOndOn Globe,

claim TO exclusive jurisdiction, which Mr.
Bayard deliberately disOIedited when he was IN
the State Department. When Secretary Blaine
arpues the question with the Powers, his prede-
cessors action will be quoted against him.
This is not the only source of embarrassment
which Mr.. Bayard left in reserve for his sue
oessor. The North Atlantic fisheries question
cannot be taken up afreSh and argued without
reference to the state papers and policy Of the
last Administration. The treaty negotiated by
Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Bayard was rejected
by the Senate, but the diplomacy Of the State
Department has remained a matter OF record
and will supply the British Fore On Office with
formidable arguments against the American
case, whenever it may be presented in future

of many of the compromises and concessions OF

TBR SAT- TRUST.

The plans OF the Salt Trust have been eX-
plained, whether truly or not the public VIII
learn in due time. At present. it is proper To
assume that the managers intend and will try
10 accomplish what thoy represent and their
enterprise may be judged on that basis. When
they fail or neglect 10 do so, or swcrve from
their avowcd intention, there will be occasion
10 Judge the scheme by It's actual results.
For the moment, then, it may be judged by The
decar red intention TO purchase salt works out
right 10 that they may be managed in com
mon interest and all competition between them
may be stopped; TO apply enormous capital to
cheapening production, while the cost OF opcrat-
ing and distribution can be leSsened by com
bination, 80 that sat will not be rendered
dcarer TO consumers, and TO limit the output so
that within the territory supplied from each
centre Of production tho price will not be forced
below the cost Of production there.
These ayOwcd purposes are carefully so stated
as to appear in no way prejudicial to pubic In
tereSts. II the production can be cheapened 40
that a larger profit can DO realized without in
creasng the cost Of the product TO consumers,
the public will not be harmed thereby. The own
orship Of many works by one combination will
promote economy. and will not necessarily In
lure ANYBODY, while it may benefit all interested
| in production as capitalists or rs Iaborers. Iot
there is a public intuition that in some way this
combination must be hostile TO public Interests.
| At all events 1t is hostile to the objects OF n
protective tariff, II 1t is intended to suppress
competition by other producers not in the com
bination. "They will be crushed" say the
adv ocates OF the scheme. Indeed, and how
That can be done by selling within their terri
! tory, at loss to the combination for time, In
the expectation Of more than compromising
gains at the end. But that means the destrnc-
ton and wiping out Of some producing works in
| this country, while the object Of protective
duties is to encourage more production and a
larger employment Of labor.
1t is the very object Of that system to secure
permanently cheaper products TO consumers.
Permanently cheaper-nOt products at present
prices only. In some sections Of our country
salt has now been supplied under the stimulus
of protective duties as cheaply as IL is in any
other country, and that is well. But prUtec-
ton does not stop there. II aims to secure
cheaper and still cheaper supplies to consumers
40 long as FREQ home competition can force down
the cost of production and the price That is
the lasting and permanent gain Of which. ac-
cording to the public apprehension, IL Is the ain
NJ this combination to deprive the country. II
Is proper therefore, TO call upon the promoters
Of this scheme TO explain moro fully how they
propose TO reconcile it with the public interest,
and especially with their duties 10 the pubic
