eAvENNA.. WEDNESDAY. May Ia. 1890

REPUBLICAN papers are congratulating the
farmers over the proposed reduction OF "a cents
per mound in the binder twine tariff by the Nc
Kinley bill, and point with exultation to the
ss.OOO,OO0 saved thereby to the tillers of the
soil. annually. These same papers have labored
with might and main ever since Grover CleVe

not only conceded but pointed to with pride by

IN PURSUIT OF SNAKES.
A Collectors Hunt After Rather Us3y-
Looking Reptile.

There is popular prejudice against
even the most harmless snakes, and
few people would carry the collectors
rage so far as to attempt the capture Of
an ugly-looking reptile with the bare
hands. But the born naturalist, like
the born sportsman, does not mind any
slight risk when his blood is up. In
Sherman T. Denton's incidents of o
Collectors Rambles'' is the following
account of an incident belonging to his
stay in Australia:
Snakes were rather numerous, and
one day, while walking in the thick
scrub, | came across large, light
brown one, coilcd upon the ground.
He was by far the largest specimen I
had ever seen at large, and was proba-
bly, ten or twelve feet long, and as
thick as mans leg at the knee.
thought at first l would shoot him
in the head with light charge Of shot,
and carry home his skin. Then I con-
sidered that, if taken alive, he would
be worth five times as much.
Feeling about in my pocket and game
bag l at last found a leather strap with
u buckle. l drew the strap through
the buckle, making a moose, and thus
armed, started cautiously toward his
snakeship, intending to put the moose
over his head.
AS soon as I came near, he partly un-
coiled, opened his mouth very wide,
thereby disclosing his sharp teeth, and,
kissing spitefully, struck at me. I
lodged behind a small tree, and, lean
ing out as far as I dared, tried several
times to moose him. He was very say
age, and looked powerful enough to
crush me in his folds. At this junct-
ure my courage was at rather low
ebb.
After l had teased him for some
time, he suddenly decided to leave my
company, and started off at full speed.
l caught up my gun and went after
him, and, by hard running through the
scrub, managed to head him of. He
stopped, coiled up again, and again I
tried the Moose. He was equal to the
occasion, putting his head under his
coils in very sulky manner; but as
soon as I reached out, and caught him
by the tail he pulled away with great
force and started off once more.
This time he took refuge under a.
fallen tree:&nd before l could head him
of, he was gliding down the hole cI
some wild beast, which was partly con-
cealed by i lac i&ee deed brazrshlsees- s-Ireached
the spot just as the last two or three
feet were going down, and seizing his
tail with both hands, l hung on desper-
ately.
With my feet braced against a limb
of 4 tree, [ pulled till the tail cracked
and snapped, as if it would break
a$under. Sometimes he pulled me
within few inches of the hole, and
then | would brace up on the limb, and
drag him half way out.
At last grew so tired that had to
let 60 my hold, and, with many regrets,
| saw the last few inches of the tail
disappear beneath the ground.

SHOPPING IN AMERICA.
According to Description Given by . Re-
cent British Traveller.

The (American) storekeeper never
saws what commodity is really worth
intrinsically or in his particular market,
but places its value about % per cent
over what he will take for it and which
is in turn about 25 per cent over what
he paid for it. Bargaining which goes
on in all the provincial cities and towns
is extraordinary. The process is called
''Jewing down. and proceeds some
thing like this:
Scene: Store. Enter prospective
buyer. points laconically to article and
loquitur: ''Say, what's this worth?
Storekeeper-One dollar, and dirt
cheap.
P.B. (who really wants iD-Ah,
waal, it's not quite what want. But
I'm in no pertickler rush to-day.
Pauses.) B'lieve I'll give you 70 cents
for it.
S.--Seventy cents? Why, I declar
it's dirt cheap ats1; but-spittooning-
I'll let you have it for go cents.
P. B.-That's quite ridiklous. How
ever ken jist let un rip! (Turns over
about dozen articles and thea pre-
pares to leave the store.
S.-Come now. yer shall have it Tor
so cents, thar! couldn't make it bet
ter nor that anyhow.
P.B. examining article attenslyely,
but grunting the while)-No, slr.ree;
it won't run it. Now-couidentially-
III tell yer what I will do. I'll give
yer Is cents-75 cents Gmpressi7ely),
and not red cent more. What say?
The storekeeper fires a bolt at the
nearest spittoon. shakes his head, and
turns to serve another customer. Pro-

At tE,s moment the storekeeper calls.
out:
Say, you can take that burned;
thing. but come and see US again, will
yer?"
And so the compact is concluded
Both are fully satisfied, and think moth
ing Of the ten minutes they have
wasted, for both concluded they have
"bested" the other. This phrase ''come
and see us again" is the usual fare
well. I have had it said to me scores
of times.-Arthur Moaatefo7e tn Temple

Substitute for Coffee.

a new substitute for coffee may turn
ap in berry known as .'gaertnera."
The British consul at Reunion SAYS that
At one time he has received many let
sers from merchants in England asking
Tor information respecting a shrub then
called ''mussaenda." the discovery of
which, it has been said in some COM
nercial Journals, would deal 4 severe
blow to the coffee and chicorv trade.
About two years ago rumor was
spread that the berry of this shrub
rould be advantageously employed, as
substitute for coffee and chicory. 1t
grows to about ten feet high, has very
'ew leaves, and its branches are wide
apart The berries do not grow all
slong the branches, as is the case with
coffee, but in punches at their extreme
lies. AT present it is only met with in
The mountains, where it grows wild. It
might be produced on an extensive
scale; but with its inferiority in fra
GRANGE and color it could hardly COM
pete with coffee.

Ais. Well Thac Ends Well

LAI7RENs, oIarch 13.-Three months
ago Miss Ccrnelia Virginia Chapman,
a fair young lacy from the banks OF
the foamiug Saluda, came to the city
in search for lawyers. She found a
couple and told them tale of woe, the
purport ef which was that Jne. r.
Wells, neighboring and gallant
ycuns farmer, had sought and obtained
her sfectiens, but that on the arrival
Of the time set for the marriage Wells
had beeE seized with fit of procrast-
ination which had since become chron-
ic. The lawyers estimated the breaks
in tae ledy's heart and sued Wells for
$4,000 damages, which just somtorta-
bly, sized his pile. When the Court OF
Common Please opened in February
Miss Chapman was on hand with a
cloud OF witp esses, but before the case
was called, suddenly disappeared. The
case was continued. Yesterday the
news came here that Miss Chapman
had dropped her suit, that Wells had
renewed his and pushed it to asuccess-
ful issue and that the parties are ex-
perimentiag as to whether or not mar
riage is a failure. The learned counsel
refuse to DO cemforted.

A Modern Wonder.

Tbs great bridge over the River Forth
at Eaingbursh wh;ch vas opened Last
Tuesday is one of the wonders of mod
ern engineering. is the grestest bridge
ever constructed on the caatilsver prin-
ciple. 1t was begun in 1883 and in its
building over $4,000 tons of the finest
steel nave been used. The bridge proper
is over mile long, and the viaducts at
each end add half mile TO its length.
1t has in its ceotral portions two spans
of LILO feet each, which are the longest
ever attempted. The cain span Of the
Brooklyn bridge, the next longest in the
world, is 1,G00 feet, while the longest
span at Niagara is only sos feet It re-
quired the labor OF an army of men for
seven years to Construct the great Form
bridge. atoEs time 1850 men were
employed on it. Such 8 great work can
hardly be completed without some acci-
dent to those engaged it. The total
number of lives lost durig the cosstruc-
ton of this bridge was fifty three, five Of
them from drowning. There were no
less than 543 pon-fatal accidents to the
workmen.
