Hotel Troubles.

At Jacksonville l was waited upon at
table by an extremely obliging negro. One
day he brought me some water, put ice in
it, and discreetly withdrew behind my
chair, | took up the glass and infinitely
inspected its contents. "Epaminonetas p
said |.
'Dat's not my name, sah. Pm called
Charles"
Charles, look at this water; there is a
snake in itD
Charles took the glass, looked at it, and
then with reassuring grin announced, dts
dead, sab"
"That is comforting" said l, '.but it may
have left eggs which will. come to life by
thousands inside Of me-"
Charles was facetious, and was not to be
put out Of countenance for such trife.
He took UP the glass again, re-examined it
ard replaced it on the table. "Dere's no
danger, sab; it is male" he said-Bir-

came OW to Utica,

she came oN to Utica, as
stated, and was taken to the Central
depot, whence she was to proceed on
her journey by another train.
She waited about the depot all day,
and at highs in broken German told
Leonard Pruey, the baggage master,
that she had not had anything to eat
all day, and had only twenty cents In
her purse. When she had recited the
whole story, and Mr.. Pruey told her
that instead of q few hours she would
yet have several days of travel, her
distress was pitiful. The kind hearted
baggageman promised to do all he
could for her, and began his ministra-
tons by giving her a square meal. He
then interested himself in lettering her
financial condition, and told Conductor
John Unser, of the Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg, about it. Mr.. Unser
was bound north with his train and
made no promises, but early the next
morning when he came to Utica again
he gave Mr.. Pruey a purse of money
which he had collected on his train to
help the girl On her way. She finally
left Utica, after a delay of about TWEEN
ty-four hours, with a big bag Of provi-
sions and many good wishes. -Utica

THE SLEEP OF DEATH.

A Drowsiness That Attacks People In
Some Climates Months Before Death.
An interesting account descriptive OF
the sleepy disease" peculiar to Africa,
is given in the journal of an African
Cruiser" Persons attacked by this
singular malady are those who take
little exercise and live principally on
vegetables, particularly cassoda and
rice. Some observers ascribe it to the
cassoda, which is strongly narcotic.
Not improbably the climate has much
influence, the disease being most prev
alent in low and marshy regions.
Irresistible drowsiness continually
weighs down the patient, who can be
kept awake only for the few minutes
needful to take a little food. When
this lethargy has lasted three or four
months death comes, but only in the
form of deeper slumber. The author
of the book mentioned tells of a mem
Der of the royal family of Luakaka
who was afflicted with this curious di-
sease:
II found the aspect of Queen Mau-
mee's beautiful granddaughter neon
ceivably affecting. 1t was strange to
see her so quiet, in a sleep from which
it might be supposed she would awake
full of youthful vigor, and yet to know
that this was no refreshing slumber,
but a spell in which she was fading for
ever from the eyes that loved her.
''This young girl was but IA years of
age. With some difficulty size was
aroused, and woke with a frightened
cry-a strange, broken murmur-as If
she were looking dimly out in the
phantasies of a dream. Her eyes were
wild and CLASSY; rolled wildly in their
sockets for a second, then Immediately
sunk into the deep and heavy sleep in
which we found her. This poor,
doomed girl had been suffering for
about three months-no. not suffering,
for, except when forcibly aroused,
there appears to be no uneasiness until
after the end of the third month of this
unnatural slumber, when the victim
becomes wild and constantly rolls his
Oh her head from side to side-never
opening the eyes-death ensuing within
afew days after these symptoms set in"

A Short Corn Crop in Prospect.

The wise policy of the Farmers
Alliance in encouraging the raising
and saving Of more of the food crops,
for both man and beast, in the South
ern States, will probably be made
apparent next winter and spring.
Every report Indicates short corn
crops in the Southwest, on account
chiefly Of drought. The Cincinnati
price current, which pays particular
attention to crop statistics, estimates
that the total yield of corn this year
will be about 1,6OO,0 OO, 600 bushels,
which would be more than 100000,
900 bushels short of that of 1889,
which, however, was a very good
crop year. This would be a curtail-
ment of nearly one-third of the
crop, as compared with a large yield.
It is evident, ther, that corn must be
higher in price, because scarcer.
The Southern corn crop, too, will
be short of that of last year for the
lack of seasonable rains when most
needed. But cotton did not need so
much rain at that time and did not
suffer so much. Still, it would have
been a misfortune if a great part OF
the poceeds of \ good cotton crop
had to 60 to tbs purchase by cotton
planters of high-priced corn.

Snakes at Scrapeskillet.

Near ScrapeskIlet, Ind, the swamp
lands are 80 infested with snakes as to
be positively dangerous for travellers.
Friday, while a farmer and his wife
were driving in a wagon, they met
three large snakes in the road, which
not only refused. to. turn out to one
side of the road, but showed fight.
They were finally beaten off by the
farmer after considerable trouble with
his mules, which were almost crazed
with fright.
On the same day a physician from
Yankeetown, driving in a road cart,
was confronted by a number Of snakes
In the road at the same place. His
horse became frightened and ran away,
leaving him at their mercy, and but for
the timely assistance of passers by he

death. As it was he had a severe tus-
sic. The people of the neighborhood
have organized themselves for the pur-
pose Of discriminating the reptiles

When the Cruel War is Over.

And it came to pass in the four
teenth year after '76, that Ben, the
son of his father, and an honest
farmer of the land of Edgeheld, was
sought out from among men and
elected Governor over the tribes Of
the land of South Carolina.
Forty and two years old was he
when nominated; and he had a hard
road to travel before he reached the
goal, but after many days Of toll,
Cfor he was a newer of stone and a
drawer of water) and after having
been scorned, rebuked, denounced,
and insulted by the wicked sons Of
King Ring Rule, he got there all the
same, and did reign even in Columbia.
And he did that which was right
in the sight of the Lord according to
all that the people demanded.
He removed the high places and
broke the ring that had been Cypress
ing the pear; and he did also break
in pieef e constitution and the
laws ne land, which had been
sanctioned and not vetoed by wicked
tyrants, Chamberlain, Scott, and
Moses of old, and he did cut down
expenses from Dan to Bersheba.
And the Lord was with him, and
he prospered ~withersoever he went
forth, and he rebelled against the
ring and served them not.
He smote the evildoers eve unto
the ~sea-coast, and the borders thereof,
even from Sumter county to the
