DOG AND SNAKE FIGHT.
After y Prolonged Fight tho Former
Crushes the Reptile

After y Prolonged Fight tho Former
Crushes the Reptile.
A most exciting fight between bull
mastif and snake about four feet
five inches long, apparently of the
dhamin species, was witnessed early
one morning by number of persons
residing in q house in Entally, says
the Indian Daily News. The gentle
man in whose house the occurrence
took place keeps large poultry yard,
and the snake, intending, no doubt, to
make meal off one of the fowls or
ducks, was stealthily crawling INTO
the yard when the birds, seeming an:
enemy, began to crow aud cackle and,
fiutter about in their alarm.
The snake had just caught duck
when the bull mastiff, attracted by the
noise, came running to the spot, sprang
upon the snake and seized it close to
tie head. Acting on the defensive
now, the snake released the duck and
coiling itself around its antagonist at
tempted to crush it.
1t compelled the dog to roll over. but
the latter refused to quit his hold,
while with his hind paws he struggled
to tear the coils of him. This he
partly succeeded In doing and regaihed
his feet, but the reptile once moro
coiled around him, and it appeared
now as If the dog would be strangled,
the folds of the snake forming double
ring around his neck.
The wriggling of the snake and the
frantic struggling Of the dog were now
almost terrible, and were all the more
intensity watched from the fact that
no help could be rendered to the
plucky dog, who never relaxed his grip
Both cambatants rolled over second
time and continued struggling for
fully FIVE minutes, while the dog
paved up the ground all around. ami
at last managed to make q slit about
span long in the skin of the snake by
means of his claws This was the be
ginning Of the end.
The dog once more threw off the
coils and rose to his feet. Releasing
his grip for moment, he made dash
at the head of the snake and com,
pletely crushed it. Having disabled
the snake so fur, he tore the snakes

In that world of fashion and pleasure
where most Americans pass the time
Of their visits to tho mother country,
During the last few years there have
been few books more discussed in the
drawing-room and at the dinner table
than those published in the name OF
Edna Lyall, and very interesting, and
sometimes very amusing, has 1t been
TO hear the different ideas that some OF
their readers have formed of her per
sonal characteristics. 1t need hardly
be said that most cases the imaginary
Edna Lyall was in sharp contrast to
the real Edna Lyall.
In thinking of Edna Lyall, the inn
agination of one of her London friends
takes him sixty miles from London to
an old-fashioned house in the pretty
town of Eastbourne, writes Frederick
Dolman. The house seems old-fash-
toned, yet, like most OF the residences
in Eastbourne, it must have been built
within the last twenty or thirty years.
1t Is built of dark red brick in the
Gothic style, and is Uncovered; and
having quaint porch with an oval
shaped door has n venerable aspect
that age has not earned. The roadway
is studded with mountain-ash trees.
Eastbourne is famous for its umbrage-
GUS thoroughfares, and the house is
half hidden by foliage from its neigh
bors, as well as from passers-by.
The house is that of clergyman. as
its semi-eccleciastical appearance
might well suggest, who married Edna
Lyalls elder sister. The Rev. Mr..
jameson is curate of st. Savior's
church, the principal edifice of the
Established church in Eastbourne, to
which the authoress presented peal
of bells which were purchased with
the revenue from the publication of
Donovan" From the windows of her
room on the upper story of the house
Edna Lyall can almost see the church,
aud the music of the bells sometimes
gives its message to her ears as she
writes In this room were written, I'm
the Golden Days" knight Errant,"
"A Hardy Norseman," and "The Au-
photography of a SANDER"
The authoress herself is now pale
and worn with an illness that has
quite suspended any literary work
since the publication of "A Hardy
Norseman." The eyes have lost q lit
tie of their luster and the checks the
color they once possessed. The slight
form is somewhat thinner, and the
hand that clasps yours instinctively
tells OF much suffering. But bright
smile Is coupled with the assurance of
convalesccnce, and the voice, at first
weak aud low, gathers intonation and
quiet force when the talk is on
some stirring topic. Like Charlotte
Bronte's heroine, Ada Ellen Bay

CRrTrcrsM OF the school system :,
good for the schools II only 1t calls t.
tention to faults. 1t is easy TO point
out that the schools are not satisfac-
tory In their results That may be
admitted Mt once. But the question
TO be asked in regard to the defect
pointed out is whether 1t may be rem.
edied or is unavoidable. Probably the
most general cause of failure Of the
schools to make more striking sue
cesscs lies In the fact that Providence
has not gifted his children overplenti-
fully with brains Any system OF ed
ucation must run up against this fact,
and the system is not TO be blamed for
not accomplishing the impossible.

Debt and Business

All the bright. CHEEKY, hopeful men OF
business in Virginia are concerned IN the
settlement of tho debt. All the poor,
struggling farmers have the same interest.
In it's disturbed condition IL is a nuisance
and vexation. Some say IL "scares more
than il hurts" il does both. We want 1t
put at rest. Therefore promising scheme
bv new parties is hailed with JOY.
After all tho hectoring we have suffered
a. the hands Of the Council of Foreign
Bondholdors IL is not possible that we anu
they should ever come TO terms OF COM
promise. Therefore il is well that other
persons have undertaken TO mediate be-
tween the State and her creditors.
II is fortunate that the gentlemen who
are the latest movers in this direction and
who are represented to be possessed Of
great Influence and resources have taken
the pains TO inform themselves as to pub
Io opinion in Virginia. They know the
position Of the State. They must expect
20 fund under the RmDIEBEB0KR bill; but
they will be justified in asking, in view OF
the lapse of eight years since that measure
became a law, legislative construction OF
some of its provisions so that unnecessary
obstacles may be removed.
II looks as if our blue Vrginian skies
we're growing brighter.
