A Negro. Terrible Revenge.

In Hayti and Martinique the venom OF
the terrible serpent indigenous to those
islands, the formidable fer de lance. has
been often employed by the negroes in
disposing of their enemies. A horrible.
but well authenticated instance of negro
ingenuity and m~alevolence is told in
Martinique. A huge negro, recently i'm
ported from the Guinea coast, had been
whipped by the order of his master, one
of the great planter princes Of the island
while it was under French rule. The
victim made no complaint. but medi-
tated revenge.
BY long search he found the lair Of a
pair of serpents in the garden adjacent
to the house. Watching his opportu-
nifty he killed one and dragged its body
to the house through a window that was
always open and into the bedroom Of
the beautiful daughter of the planter
He dragged it to the bed, lifted the COW
erings and coiled the reptile on the sheet.
When this was done he carried the dead
snake away and cast it into an adjacent
stream
As night approached the serpent's
mate followed the trail. crept through
the open window and to the bed of the
planters daughter. The latter. half
awake, made a motion to brush away
the intruder. Instantly the fangs were
buried in her neck, and in a few hours
she was a corpse.-St. Louis Post-Dis-

the candle high with one hand, gently
lifted the sheet with the other and dis
closed-the white, clear cut features of
