DUBLIN.

The execution Of the proposed Dublin
monument to the memory Of Father
Mathew has been entrusted to Miss
Mary Redmond, the celebrated Irish
sculptor. who has signed contract to
have the work completed within twelve
months. The statue will be eight feet
in height, and the pedestal fourteen.
The latter will probably be- ready for
the Centenary Celebration on October
10th, but the ceremony of unveiling the
statue cannot probably be performed
until July or Augugt Of next year. The
situation selected for the statue by the
Dublin Paving and Lighting Commit
tee, nearly opposite to the National
Leage rooms in O'Connell street, is
strongly objected to on account of it's
contiguity to the O'ConneIl Statue and
the Nelson Monument, and as an alter
native site the other end of the great
metropolitan thoroughfare is suggested.

LAST DAYS OF TIE M00NsHlNgR.
Uncle Sam Has Nearly Exterminated the
Mountain DisttlIer.

The rocky Businesses of Tennessee's
mountains were once famous for the
moonshining of their inhabitants.
The business was not of gain by sales
in populouS sections.
The mountaineer loved the fiery
liquid. Its fragrant, enticing odor de-
lighted his senses, and its soft and
oily flow tickled his palate He
had few of the luxuries of this life, and
his chief engagement and pleasure was
to sip the distilled nectarine of his
grain and fruit. Money was little
known to him. The price of drink was
fabulous sum and far beyond his
reach. His fathers made their own
store of liquor, and he came naturally
by what he esteemed his right. In
ternal revenue laws forbade his hum
BILE still and he was driven to covert re-
treat, there in the solitude to surrepti.
tiously carry on the conversion of his
grain into mountain dew.
Two, three or more would be Joint
owners of the still. While some fired
the furnaces and tended the crude APP.
pliance, others would guard the ave-
nues of approach, and lurking behind
tree or rock keep a sharp watch for
the prying marshal.
The moonshiner had no reluctance
in the killing of a revenue officer He
was an invader of rights, an enemy of
homes-a spy. Many a poor revenue
officer fell a victim to the rife-shot of
a moonShiner
Now all is changed. The advance of
the prospector, the miner. the boomer,
has overrun every mountain and pene-
trated every valley. Towns have
sprung up magically in the depth of
the woodland and before the march of
progress. the mine, the furnace, the
saw-mill, the moonshiner has deserted
his last retreat, and the business has
fallen into the hands of different
class of people. Gain alone is the OBJ
ject. They pander to the vicious ele-
ments of society, and offer no armed
resistance to the revenue officials
they buy them. The old moonshiner
! has passed away; he has succumbed to
the inevitable and lives only in fiction.

FEEDING A BIG SNAKE.
An Appetizing Meal of Rabbits that a Boa
Constructor Delights In.

Three corpulent rabbits of Belgian
breed were Gagged in a soap-box quietly
awaiting their fate. They were the
meal for which the snake was ANXIOUS
ly awaiting, says writer in the Chicago
Inter- Ocean. He had not tasted meat
in four months and his voracious NAV
yawned like bOttomless pit for the
unfortunate trio in the sOap-bOx.
Manager Bell appeared and drew
forth one of the rabbits After strok-
ing bunny on the back for a mo-
ment he opened the door to the snakes
den and thrust him in. The huge boa
had cOiled himself up in a corner, but
at once reused himself for action. He
was fully twelve feet long, and having
recently shed his Winter coat, his skin
glistened and shOne like satin. He
raised his head a foot or so from the
floor and viewed the first course of his
quadri-annual meal. The rabbit
showed no signs of fear, but rather
seemed to enjoy his new quarters. The
snake slowly lowered his head and
cautiously began to stretch himself
along the side of the den. He never
once took his eyes off the rabbit, which
was still unconscious of his danger.
Suddenly the rabbit began to act
strangely and to cut all sorts of ridicu-
lous capers. He would leap back and
forth over the snake and then rub up
against it, and appeared to be fasci-
mated. Slowly and stealthily the
snake turned his head about until it
was within a foot of the rabbits
launches Then, quick as flash, he
darted forward, seized the rabbit in
his mouth and in another instant there
was nothing to be seen of the little
animal save the tips of his ears, which
protruded from between the folds of
the snake.
The huge serpent then raised his
head full two feet from the floor,
darted out his forked tongue and
Kissed horribly at the motley group
watching him. If there was any
struggle on the part of the rabbit it
was not visible. The snake had him
in his awful coils. Then the coils
slowly, but with strength which was
terrible to look at. began to tighten
till every bone in the poor rabbits body
must have been broken. This done
the coils relaxed. and the limp lifeless
body Of the sportive rabbit Of few
moments before lay ready to be swal-
lowed. First the serpent nosed his
victim all over TIE eyeballs Of the

found in her broad-soled, common
