Rats have multiplied to such degree

tain kind Of snake for destroying them.
The Brazilian domestic serpent is the
giboia, small species of boa about
twelve feet IN length and of the diameter
of a mans arm 1t is sold at from "a
dollar to dollar and half in the mar
kets of Rio Janeiro, Pernambuco, Bahia,

harmless and sluggish in its movements,
passes the entire day asleep at the foot
of the staircase of the house, scarcely
deigning to raise its head at the approach
of visitor. or when strange noise is
heard in the vestibue. At nightfall the
giboia begins to hunt, crawling along
here and there, and even penetrating the
space above the ceiling aud beneath the
flooring Springing swiftly forward, it
seizes the rat by the nape and brushes its
cervica vertebre. AS serpents rarely
eat, even when at liberty, the giboia kills
only for the pleasure of killing. 1t be-
comes so accustomed to its masters house

The Oldest horse on record is owned
by Major Robert Mas, of Louisville,
KY, who possesses papers proving its
age to be something over AT years, says
the Memphis Commercial Ivanhoe,
as he is called, is large bay, with
white spot on his forehead, and, up to
few years ago, of gentle, affectionate
disposition, but has grown peevish and
capricious with his increasing age. This,
however, is only shown toward strang.
ers, while he is devoted to his master
and his children, who play about him
with perfect fearlessness. Ivanhoe was
stolen several times during the civil
war, but invariably made his way back
in safety to his pasture. having con.
trlved IN some way to escape from his
captors.
He bears on the right flank the scar
of a gunshot wound received in the
Mexican war, at the battle of Buens
Vista, while ridden by Major Mas
grandfather. 1t is over thirty years
since Iyanhoe has known bride cf har.
ness, but spends his days strolling about
his pasture, in which he will allow no
other horse to be placed, but will resent
all intrusions with a vigorous use of his
teeth and heels. His faculties all APP
pear unimpaired, with the exception of
total deafness, resulting from severe
attack of disease prevalent a few years
ago.
Far from being feeble, Ivanhoe moves
briskly about, and will often permit two
or three of the younger children to
mount and ride him about the pasture.
He has, however, lost nearly all of his
teeth, and lives upon boiled corn and
other soft food. He made his last APP
pearance in public at the cattle fair held
in Lexington, last fall, and came home
completely denuded of his name and
tail, by people securing thus relics OF
the Oldest horse known.

Why They Fight.

1.-THE perpetual wars of the Spanish4
American republics" said a Spanish
American, ARE largely owing to the
fact that we are nearly always putting
military commanders at the head of our
governments. In Chill we have Gen.
Balmaceda for President; in Guatemala
we have Gen. Barrillas; in the Argen-
tine Republic Gen. Pellegrini; in Sal
vador, Gen. Ezeta; in Costa RIGA Gen.
Rodriguez; in Honduras, Gen. Bogran;
In Mexico, Gen. Diaz; in Paraguay.
Gen. Gonzales; and there are still 9TH
er generals in command of other repub-
lies with full military power. In VEN
ezuela DIR. Palacio is President, but he
also may as well be called general.
We see the same thing in the Portu-
guese- American Republic, Brazil, of
which Gen. da Fonseca is President. 1t
is largely because Spanish Americans
put their governments in the hands of
military men that they are forever at
war, forever fighting in civil wars or in
foreign wars 1t is natural, / suppose,
that generals should be OF a belligerent
disposition and anxious for military
glory. The administration of the civil
affairs of republic should be in the
hands of civilians; but the republics of
Spanish America do not realize this
fact. N. Y. San.
IT is mournful commentary on hui
man vanity to see the mourners looking
back, on turning the corners, to see if
the procession is worthy of corpse.

Curious Effect of Lightning

felt no shock. Servants in garden
were also struck by lightning. 1t had

WARS BLOOD sPoI.
The Carnage Was the GREATEST at
SpottsYlYania.


Should you ask veteran of the war,
officer or private, to point out the blood
spot of the war, the fed on which the
carnage was greatest in given time, no
two would perhaps agree. Almost every
battle of the war would be named, and
not one in a hundred answers would
locate the spot.
1t was at Spottsylvania, on the second
day of the fight. On the afternoon of
the first, as the Second and Fifth Corps
moved up against the earthworks
browning Laurel Hill, they were driven
back after fight lasting not over forty
minutes, with a loss of almost six
thousand killed and wounded. The
dead were ten to every wounded man.
There was no heavy fighting next day.
Grant was Inspecting Lees lines for
weak spot. He found 1t at the point
known to every soldier on both sides and
to history as ''the Horseshoe. In form
ing his battle line Lee had left this to
stand. Indeed, his troops had formed it
as they came on the field. At this one
spot his field-works projected out from
the main line like tongue of land into

to its destruction, but Grant moved
Hancock's troops by night and stationed
them for dash in the gray of morning.
They rested on the fields of the Brown
farm and the farmers house was Han
cocks headquarters. From Hancock's
lines to the Horseshoe was less than half
a mile, with the route INSTRUCTED by
thickets and second growth forest.
Just before oaytreak of that early
summers morning, with mist rising
from the fields and thickets, and while
the birds were family chirping in the
trees as they noted the coming of dawn,
Hancock's men moved forward. The
Confederate pickets were only pistol
shot away. AS they challenged, the
lines got the word to double-q quick, and
the pickets were carried along with the
rush. With cheers and yells, which
were heard two miles away, the Federas
struck the field works dashed over
them-were upon the Confederates be-

A VERDICT OF GUILTY,
RETURNED BY TIE JURY IN TEE s. "
CALVERT CUTTING CASE
Frances ". Adams on Trial FOR Emb'z5lsmsnt
Sent to Jsll.-Nigh!watchman Murdoch
Has a Rearing

In the Circuit Court, Yesterday morn
ing, the case of the State V. S. w. CAL
bert, charged with unlawfutly and
maliciously cutting Aaron Gilbert, his
brother-in-law, with intent to MAIN,
ETC., was put on trial before the follow
ing iury:-J. B. Griffin, c. Saunders, G.
VI. Rodgers, John Dinger, John E. Mil
Ter, w. r. Springer, II. Il. Hervey,
James Dixon, r. B. Wyatt, Alex. Nc
Culloch, August c. HartOng and j. L.
Hand. Col. w. W. Arnett represented
he defense. The crime was committed
on the night Of March 7th. last, in Pier
sons saloon, on the South Side, where
the men had ouarrelled over q game OF
cards, and Gilbert was so very seriously
wounded that his life was despaired Of
for quite a time. The jury returned
into Court about FIVE o'clock with YER
dict of guilty, and that the defendant
had done the cutting unlawfully, but
not maliciouSly. That reduces the
olTense to a misdemeanOr, the penalty
being from one day to year in Jail.

The Adams Case ON Trial.

About half-past four o'clock the case
Of the State V. Frances w. Adams was
put on trial to the following jury: John
MINERS, Joseph Connelley, Charles
Schmidt, Samuel Starr, C. II. Berry, V.
W. Berry, Gilbert f. Rose, Henry Brun-
haus, Charles II. Copp, 5. A. Kepner,
r. Z. Williamson and Alex. Morrison.
The offense charged was ENLIGHTENMENT,
in that on the tenth OF last September,
during the State Fair, Adams had taken
nine dollars from E. W. Richenbach, OF
Ohio, u sheep dealer, promising TO in
Sert an advertisement in the IVeskly
NclCS and to send him nifty papers. BE
kept the money personally. The State
adduced evidence TO show that Adams
in talking to Rlchen0ach, referred to the
PAGER as my paper" and that he had
said he had hired some one else to work
Tor him, etc. thereby creating the i'm
preston that he was the owner or edi-
tor or manager OF the paper. 1t was
also shown that Adams had no author
ity to solicit advertisements. In his
own defense, Adams pleaded that he
was drunk, but Richenbach said he
could see no evidence OF intoXication.
Tho case will be argued this morning.

cusses the Work House Revolt.
The Council Committee on Fire De-
partment met last night, and held pro-
tracted session over the refusal OF the
work house prisoners TO clean out the
cellar of the new VigiIant engine house.
During the discussion several OF those
present reviewed the conduct of the in
stituton in manner the reverse or
mplimentary, and it was openly
charged by Mr.. Bailey that the place
was sort of political asylum for people
who wanted soft snaps, that the
officers studied to avoid making
enemies among the inmates, and that
the interests of the city came In for
very little consideration. One commit
teeman said the workhouse was a great
snap for lazy men, and that he knew or
one man who threw up a S22 week job TO
drink and live UP there. Chief HeaIy re-
viewed the statement Of superintendent
Rodenbaugh, that it was shame TO
make the men work, when PROBABLY
some taxpayer wanted the job, and that
Guard Carenbauer had openly sided
with the rebellious inmates, and said
were Cd d-n fools" II they went
down in the cellar At the same time the
Chief said there was not over half an
inch Of mud and water in the cellar, In
stead OF the sixteen inches alleged by
the strikers" and this was corroborat-
cd by Chairman Happy, who said he
was all over the cellar, as was Council
mon Weidebusch. The Superintendent
had said he would put the eigh-
teen men who had refused to
60 to work the first time they were
taken down, as well as the thirteen who
refused the second time, on bread and
water, but no one could see that it had
done any good. Architect Hamilton
said the work must be done, and sub
mtted letter from Wilson 81 Chapman,
the contractors, to the effect that they
would not be responsible for slips or ac-
cidents, nor for the building not being
completed on time, for the reason that
the city had not done its part. 1t was
finally decided to have n. c. Hamilton
clean out the cellar and build "blind
DRAIN for the sum Of $50.
In the matter of a retaining wall, Tor
the rear of the lot, where the ground Is
eaving in, the Architect was instructed
! to have the wall built at cost not to
exceed S1Ss, and the chairman was In
structed to see the Mayor and request
I him to order the superintendent OF the
WorkhouSe to have the prisoners exca-
vate for the wall The question is, will
they do it?
1t came out during the meeting, that
the Committee will only have S1,G6s.9O
after paying salaries TO the end OF the
year, while there is 2,374.75 due on the
building outside of the $40 and Slss, for
the cellar and the wall.

Murdoch's Hearing.

The hearing of John Murdoch, the
nightwatchman, accused of shooting at
Ii. !. Felber. came off before Justice
Ankle last night at seven O'clock.
Prosecuting Attorney Howard and Hon
G.. w. Atkinson appeared for the State
aud Capg. r. g. DOvener for the de-
Tense. The only testimony heard was
that of Mr.. Feber aGd the defendant.
Mr.. FelbeI's story OF toe affair was the
same as heretofore detailed in the REG
lister. Mr.. Murdoch admitted the
shooting, but said be could remember
very little OF what TRANSFERRED, owing to
his condition at the time. To the best
of his recollection he thought Mr.. Eel
Der did not offer him any cigars, but
reached for his hip pocket. Thinking
he was going 20 produce a revolver he
fired to scare him.
Counsel for the defendant asked to
have hin fined for shooting In q public
place. There was no malice and no pre-.
meditation. The offense could not be
more serious than miSdemeanor. II
the counsel Tor the State was unwilling
TO accept this, be suggested that Mr..
Felber and his attorney consider the
matter for few days.
Mr.. Howard said he represented the
State. and was willing 10 make the
offepSe a miSdemeanOr. The statute
provided that II a person shoot AT an
other with intent to kill ne is guilty of a
felony. II distinctly says that II the
shooting is done in street,or place OF
public resort it is felony. Otherwise
it was misdsmeanor. Mr.. Atkinson
agreed TO consider the matter with his
client. Mr.. Felber, and the Justice took
the case under adyisement until Thurs.
day evening at O'Clock. Mr.. Murd.
was released ON his own recognizance.
