SNAKES WERE HER BOSOM FRIENDS.
Death of Female Hermit Who Was Loved by
Dozens of Hideous Reptiles.

SALEM Va. June 16.-A singular charac-
ter, by name Martha Ann Tillson, and who
was known as the snake woman" died
near here recently. She lived in little
cabin at the foot of Twelve O'clock knob,
and led hermit's life, having no one to
share her abode except snakes. BY the
few who were ever allowed to see the in
terror of her cabin it is said to have liter
ally swarmed with her strange companions,
with which she ate and slept. and which
were to be seen lying in her bosom and
coiled about her neck, body and limbs
whenever she was caught sight of.
Her extraordinary prediction for these
unpleasant creatures is supposed to have
arisen from a morbid feeling that she was,
like them. hated of men. for. naturally de-
formed, she received in addition n injury to
the spine while an infant, and, though per-
fectly sound in mind, was of SO sensitive q
nature as to render her miserable and un-
easy in the presence of any but her parents,
as she imagined herself an object of loath-
ing and hatred to them. This she seemed
to feel while still little child, for her pc
culiar friendship began then. She was OBJ
served to steal away every day with pan
of milk. and on being followed was found
to be caressing dozen or SO hideOus rattle
snakes, while they drank from the vessel
which she held in her lap. HOrrified, her
parents tried to reason with her. then to
punish, and finally to confine her in an en-
deavor to break her of her fondness for the
reptiles. but she pined so for her pets that
they feared she would die if kept from
them. She evinced even stronger dlstaste
for human society as she grew Older and
since the death of her parents has with
drawn entirely from any association with
her kind. living wholly on the product of a
small garden cultivated by herself and of
half a dozen chickens, which the snakes
seemed to know were not legitimate prey,
and left unmolested.
She was little, fair woman of about
forty five, with sandy hair, very abundant
and long, which she wore in a number of
tight plaits, which, combined with her de-
dressing, the result of her refusal to hold
any communication with a fellow being
served to make her most remarkable
looking object. She was looked upon as a
witch by the negroes about, who declared
her to be possessed of the evil eye, and
hated and feared her accordingly. though
her life was most harmless, quiet one.
She had been dead some days when discOv-
cred, and her dead body was literally COW
cred by q writhing mass of snakes. whic b
had to be killed before it could beremoved,
for the reptiles turned viciously on all ap-
preaching the remains. On her heart was
found coiled huge rattlesnake, dead.
The inquest proved that the woman's
was a natural death, and it is probable that
the snake died of grief for its mistress. She
left no heirs. and a few nights after her
burial the house was burned down, it is
supposed by some of her neig ghbors, as the
greatest horror was felt for the place, which
was still infested with snakes.

Some of the Farmers Advantages.

Country Gentleman.
F. p. Root, the veteran and successful
Farmers Institute, when looking at some
of the bright aspects of farming at the pres
ent time. said there never was time in the
past when the labor of man would produce
as much as now. The plow and the harrow
of the present day are twice as effective as
in years past. A planting machine will do
the work of five men by hand and the cul-
tivator and the hitler the same. The now
ing machine will do the work of ten men
with cythes and the horse-rake and horse
fork as much. The binder in harvest per-
forms the labor of ten men or more. and the
thresher and cleaner accomplishes the
same, as compared with former modes. All
taken together, they enable the laborer
in agriculture to produce two to four
times as much as in former years: and
when we think of the vast area of rich pro-
ductive land recently brought under culti-
vation, there should be no surprise that
production has exceeded consumption. Mr.
Root then suggested O fair estimate of 100
acres of good farming land. divided into
the many mixed crops and products which
fairly good farming may produce, and at
present prices, and the sum wonld not be q
puny one. 1t is the contrast in present
prices with those Of past years that has
had much of the present disheartening eff
feet on farmers. We once heard middle
aged man complaining that his life had
been one of hard labor for twenty years.

Commissioners Lyman.

That reform in the Civil-service Com
mission which shall eliminate Commission
er Lyman from that body is badly needed
has long been manifest. Now that the
service formally adopt this view, and
charge that Commissioner Lyman's con-
duct has been characterized by laxity of

whatever he could do to promote that most
desirable object He could not vote for the
free coinage of silver at this time. or ut any
time in the near future. He could not do
so until every effort to secure the use OF
silver by the commercial nations of the
world was exhausted.
Mr.. Vest commented upon a remark of
Mr.. Allison as to the newborn ZeaP' or
Democratic Senators in the cause of free
coinage of silver, and made statement to
show that that had always been the Demo
cratic policy. He read resolution which
he had offered in the Senate, in 1879, for
the complete remonetizatiOn of silver, and
which had been, on Mr.. Allison's motion,
and by the vote of Republican majority,
referred to the finance committee, where
it had been buried beyond resurrection.
Mr.. AllisOn-That was in 1879; but where
was the Senator from Missouri during the
four years of Mr.. Cieveland's administra-
tion that he did not again introduce his
resolutionf
Mr.. yest-I was fighting the Republican
party as usual
Mr. Allison-As usual. but not in the
same way.
Mr.. Vest remark ed that if the Democratic
party said nothing on the silver question
in its platform of 1888 it was not because
it had receded from the position which it
had always held. 1t was because Presi-
dent Cleveland was an Eastern man, q
New York man. who did not sympathize
with the majority of his party on that
question. Mr.. Cleveland had come to the
presidency imbued with the prejudices of
the New York bankers and was in one
sense. as far as his opinion on silver was
concerned, sectional man. He had rea-
son to believe now that Mr.. Cleveland was
better informed on the subject and was IN
sympathy with the people of the great
West and of the majority of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Vest declared that on the
silver question there was no middle
ground; that silver must be put on the
same basis as gold, and that there would
be an equality between them so long as the
coinage of silver was limited.
Senators Ingalls, and Wolcott expressed a
desire to address the Senate tomorrow on
the silver bill, and after an executive
session the Senate adjourned.
