WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The marriage
of Miss Margaret Blaine, the eldest
daughter of the Secretary of State, and
Mr.. Walter Damrosch, the well-known
musician of New York City, will take
place in this city on the 18th of April.
The day has been slightly FASTENED by
the fact that some of the most intimate
friends of both the bride and groom
had planned a trip to Europe a little
later on in the month, and an earlier
date had to be selected for the weddin g
SO that they could be present. The
wedding will be very quiet, and beyond
the President and Mrs. Harrison and
their household, and the Cabinet fami-
lies and some of the closest friends of
the Blaines, few of whom will como
from out of town, there will be none
others invited 1t will in all proba-
bility be home ceremony.
The bride elect is now engaged in the
selection of simple trousseau. Owing
to the fact that, with the rest of the
family, she is wearing mourning, their
is no reason to have it other wise. Mr..
and Mrs. Carnegie, with whom Miss
Blaine was making coaching tour,
when the romance of her life began in
the meeting of Mr.. Damrosch. are to be
here for the wedding.

CATCHING A PYTHON.
How . big Snake Was Dislodged from It

How . Big Snake Was Dislodged from It's
Rocky Retreat.
It was during the cold weather, whom
snakes are partially or wholly torpid,
that this adventure happened, says
Chambers Journal. Had it been in hot
weather. when snakes are lively, the
story might have had q different end
ing.
General Macintyre and his party went
one day to examine hole or crevice
under q rock, where it was suspected
python lay hidden, and sure enough 1t
was there, for they could see bit Of
the tail-end protruding from the hole.
They let 1T alone at first, thinking that
when the sun shone 1t might come forth
to bask in its warmth. In this, how
ever, 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 q
mans thigh; but except that their oper-
atoms were occasionally interrupted by
the startling presence of the creatures
head, which it occasionally poked to-
ward the entrance. darting out its lit
tie forked tongue, it gave small signs
Of animation. They had even de-
termined to try to draw it. We all
three, therefore, prooeeded-somewha
nervously, must own-to lay
hold Of its tail To this familiarity 1t
showed its objection by decided in
clination to wag its caudal extremity,
which had such an electrical effect on
our nerves that we dropped it like hot
potato, and-what shall / call tire
tired. A shot would in all probability
have induced the snake to quit its re-
fuge, but then the shot must have torn
and disfgured its beautiful skin, which
the General wished to secure uninjured
as q specimen. In the meantime more
Ieflcient tools for digging had been sent
for, and these now arrived, borne upon
an elephant.
/, A bright idea now struck the party
they might draw the snake out with the
elephant Sufficient rope for the pur-
pose was loosened from the elephants
pad, and this rope, about the thickness
Of q mans thumb, was hitched around
the python's tail, its remaining length
brought up again to the pad and fast
ened 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 tough and obstinate Gus
toner we had to deal with. Tighter
and tighter grew the ropes. when
''crack" went one OF them. Still the
strein 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 q charge
Of buckshot. When measured 1t VA
found TO be twenty-one feet in length
and about two feet In girth.

Thousands Of so1thsrn Negroes sem Ne.
Iieve IN Fetichss.
The most superstitious people in the
world, perhaps, are the negroes, among
whom any combination Of odds and ends
rs homogeneous as the Ingredients Of the
witches hell broth in Macbeth becomes
'fetich." This expression comes from q
Portuguese word meaning magic, and Ia
any thing in nature or art to which magic
power is ascribed, suoh as stones. or GER
tain parts Of plants, animals, etc. Curl
ously enough. all the civilization which
has surrounded the negroes in the South
ern States has, according to the Chicago
Journal, not been sufficient to disarm
their belief in fetiches. "Voodoo," or
fetichism, is still practiced considerably
in soma, of the Southern States by me-
groes who are believed to possess special
powers, and to be able by the prepare
ton Of certain charms to bring about
whatever their patrons may desire. In
1881 a criminal trial occurred in Sumter
County, s. c., in which the defend
ant was q colored man by the name
of Johnston, who had killed another
named Davis, the former having
in his possession . charm which had
been given to him by an aged negro
named Orange Issacs, q voodoo con-
jurer, who assured him that it
would protect him from all dan
ger as a result of his crime. The OBJ
ject of the murder was TO enable the
criminal to marry the widow Of the
murdered man. The charm given him
by the conjurer was composed Of bees
wax, foxs' hair, a little sand from the
shoe Of the person who was to be killed
and drake's foot, the whole being
sewed up in a small cotton bag, which
he was to wear over his heart next to
his skin. This, it was claimed, would
obtain for him the love of the woman
whom he desired. In addition to this
he was to get a charmed bullet which he
was to fire at Davis. The negro thus
protected shot his rival, buried him and
proceeded to take possession Of the
widow, who, as it appeared, was no wise
reluctant. The body was found and
various circumstances traced the crime
to Johnston, who was put on trial. The
| jury comprised nine whites and three
blacks, and a vast throng of negroes sur
| rounded the courthouse while the trial
was going on. Curiously enough, two
of the men composing the jury were
taken violently i'll and others had to be
substituted for them. Johnston was
found guilty and was sentenced to be
hanged. Three hours after the sentence
the sheriff of the county, whose business
it was to hang him-a robust man in the
prime of health-dropped dead. The
murderer was, however, executed.

DRINKING IN EUROPE.

"Gath " Tells Some Instructive Things
About Foreign Bibulous Customs.
Last summer when l was in the
northern part of Europe I found alcohol
almost pure, set free upon the breakfast
table in an urn where nearly every body
drew glass and absorbed its effects, at
the same time taking certain picked
food. After drinking Of this stuff and
eating cold rations until the appetite
was stout and hardy, the regular hot
breakfast was called for, which consist
cd of eggs, steak, coffee, etc. Scotland
and the Land where Calvinism has held
out the best is equally land of distil-
leries, of hot liquors and of heavy drink
ing. The North Irish, though Protes-
tants, drink just as hard as the South
Irish, and according to my experience
drink harder. Their superior sense of
thrift often appeals to the individual
mind, and in order to be rich one will
lay off his liquor, but the North Irish
love whisky, whereas in middle and
South Ireland they are fond of porter,
whence Mr.. Guinness obtained his great
fortune by manufacturing the odorous

where incompetence exists to that de-
gree that it does in the British Isles or
United Kingdom. Perhaps the next
country for heavy drinking is Holland,
equally energetic in its time. Sweden
and Russia are also lands where the
drunkards are by no means exotic.

STUFFlNG A COLD.
II You Do 1t You viii in All Probability
Have . Fever.

II You Do 1t You viii in All Probability
Have Fever.
The following sensible mode of treat
ing cold is taken from Woman's Work:
The man who originated the oft-quoted
maxim: "Stuff cold and starve fever"
either did not understand what he was
writing about or he has been widely mis-
understood, to the great injury of
multitudes who have acted upon the
absurd maxim. Presuming that the
author Of it was physician, who knew
something of the nature of colds and
the action of remedies, he must have
spoken subjunotively, and not impera-
lively. And then it would read thus:
eff you stuff q cold, the consequence
will be that you will be thrown into .
fever, as result of the stuff1ng treat
ment Of the cold, and then you will
have to starve the fever" This is a true
and sensible Interpretation of this COM
monty received maxim, which has done
as much harm as any of the thousand
and one popular errors which prevail on
medical SUBJECTS. Without dwelling on
the nature or causes of colds, or on
what physicians call the pathology of
these disorders, will say that low, or
even starvation diet for a few days,
with the free drinking of warm, mildly
stimulating teas, is better for cold
than any drug or combination of drugs.
If with this warm bath or hot foot
bath is taken, little more will be need
ed. Nine cases out of ten of colds S~n
be broken mp in this early stage by
hot foot or rathor leg bath, keeping the
bath as hot as it can be borne until per-
SEPARATION arises. After the bath drink
a half-pint of hot Lemonade and go to
