Strange Effect Of a Snake Rite.

The scene was the White Sulphur
Springs in the height of the season,
several years ago. A circus troupe
had been playing there for several
days, which numbered among its at
fractions an Arab snake-charmer.
While waiting his turn to ego on
during a performance he was occu-
pied i'll training rattlesnake, recently
procured in the neighboring moun-
tains. He said afterwards that he had
an antidote in case of snake bite,
but had LEFT it by accident at the last
stopping place; SO when this snake
bit him he resorled to the Arab SUPER
stition of biting off the head of the
snake, hoping by this heroic remedy
to save his life. But even this horri-
BILE experiment was of no avail, and
though two or three physicians came
almost instantly TO his aid and every
available means was used to save him,
they soon saw that he was beyond
human help, for he began to glide
about with all the motions of a snake,
biting from side to side as if at grass.
He only lived short time, and after
his death what was the horror of all
present TO find that his body was
striped in exact imitation of the loath-
some reptile which had caused his
death, SO fully had the poison pene-
trated his whole system. - Dallas

PAGANINI.
This Genius Was Eccentric aud whlmsical
TO Great Depree.


There was undoubtedly something of
the eharlatan about Paganini Thomas
Moore says he constantly abused his
powers; "he would play divinely, and
does SO sometimes for q minute or two;
but then come his tricks and surprises,
his bow in conydlsions, and his enhar-
monies, like the mewings of an ex-
piring cat" Mystery had great charms
for him. For long time he puzzled 9
the best violinists by tuning his instru-
ment In different ways. and as he al
ways took particular care never to do
this timing within hearing, many of
his feats on the platform appeared mex
plicable and impossible. Violinists
implored him unavailingly to show them
how he produced his effects. He would
get a little group together, begin to
play, and just as he reached the difficult
passage everyone longed to see done he
would peer into the faces Of his listen
ers, suddenly stop, and exclaim, And
so forth, gentlemenl' Mystery, again
surrounded his repetoire. He very
seldom played any other music than his
own; and although he occasionally
took part in quartet or a concerto by
one of the greet masters, he made no
effect with it. He used to say that il
he played another composers work he
was obliged to arrange it to suit his
peculiar style, and it was less trouble
to write piece for himself II by any
chance lie did play q classical work he
invariably took such liberties with it as

he set such an exhorbitant price
on them that treating with him was out
Of the question. No doubt he did this
designedly. At his concerts he was a.
ways careful never to allow any other
violinist to see his music on paper, and
when he did practice, which was seldom
in latter life, it was always in private.
There WAS strong suspicion of quack-
cry about all this; yet, as one of his BIZ
ographers has said, the extraordinary
effect Of his playing could have had its
source only in his extraordinary GENTS.

Guilty" had no place in his vocabulary.
The most intricate music of the day was
but child's play to him, as certain
painter at Parma once found, much to
his chagrin. The gentleman discredited
the common belief that Paganini could
get through the most difficult music at
first sight. He possessed a valuable
Cremona violin, which he offered to
present to the uirtuoso if he could per-
form, straight off, d manuscript con.
certo which he placed before him.
"This instrument is yours" said he, III

the bargain, found he had to do few

Declarations of Speakers at the Mormon
Conference.

Declarations of Speakers at the Mormon
Conference.
SALT LAKE, Oct. THE principal
speakers at the Mormon conference were
President Woodruff, George Q. Cannon
Apostles Francis H. Lyman, Moses
Thatcher, M. w. Merrill and Heber It.
Grant.
Apostle Merrill declared that he had
been raised from the dead by the efforts
of the holy priesthood, who were guided
by the divine mercy of God, and stated
that although every bone in President
Woodruff's body had been broken and
he himself drowned, he had been re-
stored to life by divine command.
Apostle Thatcher touched upon the la
Dor question and called attention to the
operations of the church in bringing
downtrodden immigrants from abroad
and establishing them in comfortable
homes in free America.
George @. Cannon used the recent ir-
rigation congress held in this city as an
illustration of the fulfllment of the
prophecy that the nations of the earth
would eventually bow down and come
to Zion to learn wisdom.
