A Carriage Stopped by a Snake.

Captain b. B. Hartman, a commercial
nan Of Chicago, who arrived in Dcnison,
Texas, from the Indian Territory the
other night, tells one of the most re-
narkablc snake stories on record, says the
st. Louis Globt- Democrat. Hartman left
2aui's Valley in double carriage. In
he cleaning he arrived at the banks of a
small stream, which he proceeded to
ross. When he reached the opposite
pank of the stream his carriage was sud-
lenly stopped, and all of the exertions of
he horses to move forward proved I'M
lvaiing. The captain looked to the left
side Of the carriage and saw what he first
supposed was a large stick intcrlockcd in
he hind wheel. He alighted for the pur-
Dosc of removing the obstruction, but
when about to lay his hand on the sup
posed stick it moved, and kissing sound
greeted his ear. The captain saw that u
monster snake, the size of mans arm,
was intcrlocked with the spokes of the
wheel. The first impulse of the captain
vas to fly, he was SO terrified by the I'M
ookcd-f for sight. The head of the mon
,tcr was resting on the carriage, while the
body twined in and out among the spokes,
md trailcd from thence to the ground.
Captain Hartman procured a large stick,
with one powerful blow of which he
almost severed the head from the body of
jhc monster. The sake eXtricated itself
from the spokcs and cndeavorcd to crawl
of, bat the captain dealt it another dcs-
peratc blow, which proved fatal. The
snake measured about six feet in length,
md had an enormous head, largcr than
the palm of a mans hand The captain
severed the head from the body and en-
deavorcd to preserve it, but the smell was
50 offensive by next morning that he was
compelled to abandon the intention
Captain Hartman told his story with
great carnestness, and his veracity is not

WilcS of a Gotham Mendicant.

Two men were walking up Fifth ave
nue. the other day, when one of them
said, pointing to a shabbily dressed man
a little way ahead: "Look at that fellow;
ne is eating crust of bread, and just
saw him pick it up out of the gutter;
that must be 4 genuine case, and | am
going to give him quarter"

replied his companion, land watch that
rascal few moments, and you will be
glad you gave him nothing"
So the two passed on and then looked
back at the man in the shabby clothes.
When he found that nothing was to be
got from them he stopped eating the crust
and put it back in the gutter, not in the
mud, but on piece of clean white paper,
and waited till some other benevolent
looking person should come near enough
to see him pick it up again. "Well,
we'll, said the man who had saved his
quarter, 1.-THE ways of the professional

THAT chaste human violet, Minna
Irving, the Poetess of Tarrytown, says
in a publisher letter apropos of the
erotic poetry of the day: IF this
ailantus-growth of female passion
poets is allowed to flourish unchecked
the name of roetess will soon become a
term of reproach, a deadly insult, and
the work of the high priestesses of the
poetic art, such as Mrs. Browning,
Christina Rosetti and Jean Ingelow,
for the intellectual advancement of our
sex will have gone for naught." In
this instance we side with the fair and
passionless Minna.
