When woman Of the age of % years
marries it must be because She wants to
marry, and that is just what happened
i'll the history of "Aunt Katy" Currie,
who died at Warwick, Orange county,
at the extraordinary age of 107 years and
3 months. Her maiden name was Catha-
rine Woodruff, and she was born in the
adjoining town of Monroe. When she
was 80 years of age she married Joseph
Currie, a prominent and we'll to do
farmer of Warwick, with whom she
lived until his death, in 1872. "Aunt
Katy is entitled to the singular distinc.
ton of having gone to the altar as a bride
after she had entered upon her 92d year.
The bridegroom, James Nelson, was 6s
years old, and the marriage took place
two years after the death of her first
husband. Before contracting this second
marriage "Aunt Katy" tore the record
of her age from the family Bible, and al
ways declined afterward to tell her age.
1t is known positively, however, that she
was born i'll 17S2.-Torcnto Empire.

we kept it.
We started on along the stream, fol-
lowing the spoor Of the balloons as.we
best could. But the stream left no spoor,
and the hard, rocky banks but little.
Still we wandered on. All night we
wandered through the lonely moonlit val
leys, startling the silence into q thousand
echoes with our cries. But no answer
came to them. In vain our eyes searched
the sides of precipices formed of water
riven rocks Enthusiastically piled one upon
another; in vain wo searched through
endless dells and fern clad crannies.
There was nothing to be found. How
could we expect to find two human
beings hidden away in the recesses of
this vast stretch of mountain ground,
which no man yet had ever fully ex-
plored? They were lost, and in all hu-
man probability lost for ever.
To and fro we wandered hopelessly,
till at last dawn found us footsore and
weary nearly at the spot whence we had
started. We sat down waiting for the
sun to rise, and the men ate of such
food as they had brought with them, and

MINING FOR A PYTHON.
A Snake That Refused to ne Drawn from
His Hole by ii Rope and an Elephant.

Snake That Refused to BE Drawn from
His Hole by Rope and an Elephant.
It was during the cold weather, when
snakes are partially or wholly torpid,
that this adventure happened; had been
in the hot weather, when snakes are
lively, the story might have had differ
ent ending.
Gen. Macintyre and his party went one
day to examine Il hole or crevice under
rock where it was supectcd python lay
hidden, and sure enough it was there,
for they could see q bit of the tail end
protruding from the hole. They let it
alone at first, thinking that, when the
sun shone, it might come forth to bask
in its warmth. In this, however, they
were disappointed, for on the following
day the snake was not to be seen; but,
on closer examination, the tail was found
sticking out as before. Various efforts
were made to dislodge it. A fire was lit
In front and the smoke famed inward,
but this had no effect.
The earth was even scraped away and
the hole widened, when they could see
the coils of the monster as thick as a
mans thigh; but except that their
operations were occasionally interrupt
ed by the startling presence of the
creatures head, which it OCCASION
ally polled toward the entrance,
darting out its littlo forked tongue, it
gave small signs of animation. They
had even determined to try to draw it.
We all three, therefore, proceeded
somewhat nervously, l must own-to
lay hold of its tail. To this familiarity
it showed its objection by a decided incli-
nation towag its caudal extremity, which
had such an electrical effect on our
nerves that we dropped it like a hot po-
tato, and-what shall call it?-retired.
\ shot would i'll all probability have in
duccd the snake to quit its refuge, but
then the shot must have torn and dis
figured its beautiful skin, which the gen.
crtl wished to secure uninjured as spec
linen. In the meantime more efficient
tools for digging had been sent for, and
these now arrived borncupon an elephant.
y bright idea now struck the party
they might draw the snake out with the
elephant! Sufficient rope for the purpose
was loosened from the elephants pad,
and this rope, about the thickness of
mans thumb, was hitched around the py-
thon's tail, its remaining length brought
up again to the pad and fastened there,
thus doubling its strength. Now came
the tug of war! a sudden jerk might
have torn the skin; the mahout was
therefore warned to put ON the strain
gradually. Little did we know what a
tough and obstinate customer we had to
deal with. Tighter and tighter grew the
ropes, when "crack" went one of them.
Still the strain was increased, when
"crack'-the other had snapped also,
leaving the snake in statu quo
The snake was finally dislodged by
counter mining and killed with charge
of buckshot. When measured it was
found to be twenty-one feet in length
and about two feet in girth.-Chambers

A Historic Shoe.

Joseph F. Graham, of New York, has
in his possession shoe and sandal
which were worn by Queen Elizabeth
moro than 300 years ago.
The shoe is in wonderful state of
preservation. 1t is No. in length,
but rather too broad to be considered
shapcly at the present time. 1t is made
of yellow brocaded satin, lined with fine,
stout canvas. The sole is of oak tanned
leather. The heel is exactly like the high
French heel of modern times. It is
placed we'll under the foot and is at least
two inches high. The toe runs to a sharp
point. Across the instep are two satin
straps, which evidently were once fas-
tened with jeweled clasps. There is no
stiffening in any part of the shoe. The
edges are bound with yellow silk braid.

A Busy Preacher.

If there be any buster man in New
York than Rev. Morgan Dix, of Trinity
corporation, he would do well to step up
and be identified. Besides attending to
the vast routine business of the Trinity
corporation, withits $50, 900, 900 invested,
preaching regularly, marrying people,
visiting the sick and officiating over the
dead, he is called upon by men and wo-
men of every walk in life for advice on
all sorts of questions. No matter how
early you go to his Office in the morning,
you will find dozen or twenty people
ahead of you. They all want to see the
distinguished rector of old Trinity in
person and explain to him their various
schemes and troubles. The writer of
this waited two hours for an opportunity
to get word with him on matter of
private business.-Cor. Richmond Dis.

rocky gulley with shelving sides. This
gulley had water way at the bottom of
it; it was about a hundred yards long,
and the slopes ON either side were topped
by precipitous cliffs. l looked at these
slopes; they literally swarmed with ba-
boons, grunting, barking. screaming,
and beating their breasts with their long
arms in fury. I looked up the water way;
along it, accompanied by mob, or, as
itwere, guard of balloons, came Hen
drika, her long hair flying, madness writ
ten on her face, and in her arms was the
senseless form of little Tota.
She saw us, and a foam of rage burst
from her lips. She screamed aloud. To
me the sound was Il mere inarticulate
cry, but the balloons clearly understood
it, for they began to roll rocks down on
to us. One bowlder leaped past me and
struck down a Kaffir behind; another
fell from the roof of the arch ON to a
mans head and killed him, Indaba-zinbi
lifted his gun to shoot Hendrika; l
Knocked it up so that the shot went over
her, crying that he would kill the child
Then shouted to the men to open out
and form line from side to side of the
shelving gulley. Furious at the loss of
their two comrades, they obeyed me,
and keeping i'll the water way myself
together with Inlaba-zimbi and the
other guns, gave the word to charge.
Then the real battle began. 1t is diff
cult to say who fought the more fiercely.

charged along the slopes, and as they
came, encouraged by the screams of

but still they came on. Nor did we 20
scathless. Occasionally a man would
slip, or be pulled over in the grip of a
baboon: Then the others would fling
themselves upon him like dogs OH rat,
and worry him to death. We lost five
men i'll this way, and l myself received
bite through the tieshy part of the left
arm, but fortunately . native near mo

AT length, and all of sudden, the
balloons gave up. A panic seemed to
seize them. Notwithstanding the cries
of Hendrika they thought no more of

not attempt to get away from the assc-
yals OF the katfirs, they simply hid their

she landed full on Indaba-zimbi. knock

arch, followed by many of the surviving
balloons, and vanished from our sight.

Longevity I'm Maine.

West Trenton claims to be "healthy

attention to the fact that there are five
families in that vicinity, adjoining neigh
bors, who in the aggregate have reared
thirty-nine children, and with their ten
parents added would make altogether
forty-nine in number. The eldest parent
living is 70 and the youngest e2. The
eldest child is 46 and the youngest 18.
These homes have been occupied by these
families on an average Of forty years; yet
in that time there have been but three

IN MARBLE CANYON.
Quick Sailing Down Stream by an Adven-
turous Exploring Party.

|
turous Exploring Party.
To give you an idea of the number of
the rapids from the head of the Colorado
river to this point, near the mouth of the
Little Colorado river, distance of about
200 miles, will say that there are just
200 rapids, not counting small draws or
rifles, and from Lees Ferry to this point,
a distance of eighty miles, there are 100
rapids. We have run the greater part of
this 100 and portrayed but few, and over
many of them our boats have danced and
jumped at the rate of fifteen miles per
hour, and over some, by actual measure
ment, at the rate of twenty miles per
hour for half q mile at time. Standing
i'll the bow of one of the boats as she goes
through one of these shutes, with first
the bow and then the stern jumping into
the air as she shoots from wave to wave,
with the spray of the breakers dashing
over ones head, is something the excite
ment of which can only be understood by
being experienced.
That part of Marble canyon from Point
Retreat for forty miles down to the mouth
of the Little Colorado river is far the
most beautiful and most interesting can
yon we have yet passed through. At
Point Retreat the marble walls stand up
perpendicularly 300 feet from the waters
edge, while the sandstone above benches
i'll slopes and cliffs to $500 feet high.
Just beyond this the canyon is narrow
est, being but little over 300 feet wide
Syon wall to wall, while the river in
places at this stage of water is not over
sixty feet wide. The marble rapidly rises
till it stands in perpendicular cliffs, 700
to 500 feet high, colored with all the tints
of the rainbow, but mostly red. In many
places toward the top it is honeycombed
with caves, caverns, arches and grottoes,
with here and there natural bridge left
from one crag to another, making most
grotesquc and wonderful picture as our
little boats glide along that quiet portion
of the river SO many hundred feet below.
AT the foot of these cliffs in many places
are fountains of pure sparkling water,
gushing out from the rock-in one place,
Vassey's Paradise, several hundred feet
up the wall-and dropping down among
shrubbery, ferns and flowers, some of
which were found in bloom. Below this,
for some distance, are number of these
fountains with large patches of maiden
hair ferns clinging to the wall, fifteen to
twenty feet above the water, green and
fresh, and with the sparkling water rum
ming down over them they make most
charming picture.
Our weather has been most wonderful,
The thermometer has never registered at
6 o'clock in the morning lower than "a
deg. above zero, and in the sun in the
middle of the day has registered as high
as is deg. The sun has shown brightly
nearly all the time, though for eight days
at one time it never shone on us, we
being under the shade of the cliffs all the
time.-Cor. Denver Republican.

tainly our illusion, or rather the great
truth of which it is the shadow, did sur
vive, as to this day it survives in my
heart.
But complete happiness is not allowed
in this world even for an hour.
Three days after our wedding Mr.. Car
son had stroke. 1t had been long i'm
pending, now it fell. We came into the
center hut to dinner and found him w.
ing speechless. At first thought that
he was dying, but this was not So.
On the contrary, within four days he
recovered his speech and some power of
movement. But he never recovered his
memory, though he still knew Stella,
and sometimes myself. Curiously enough
he remembered little Tota best of all
three, though occasionally he thought
that she was his own daughter in her
childhood, and would ask her where her
mother was. This state of affairs lasted
for some seven months. The old man
gradually grew weaker, but he did not
die. Of course his condition quite pre-
cluded the idea of our leaving Babyan
Kraal till all was over. This was the
more distressing to me because had a
nervous presentiment that Stella was in
curing danger by staying there, and
also because the state of her health rem
dered'it desirable that we should reach
civilized region as soon as possible.
AT length the end came very suddenly.
We were sitting one evening by Mr..
Carson's bedside in his hut, when to our
astonishment he sat up and spoke.
~ hear you," he said. "Yes, yes,
forgive you. Poor woman! you too have
suffered" and he fell back dead.
have little doubt that he was address
ing his lost wife, some vision of whom
had flashed across his dying senses.
Stella, of course, was overwhelmed with
grief at her loss. Till I came her father
had been her sole companion, and there
fore, as may be imagined, the tie be-
tween them was much closer than is
usual even in the case of father and
daughter. So deeply did she mourn that
began to fear for the effect upon her
health. Nor We're we the only ones to
grieve; all the natives on the settlement
called Mr.. Carson "father," and as a
father they lamented him. The air re.
