SIX rattlesnakes are the pets of a
Knauertown pa girl.
AT Griffin, Ca, king snake was
seen to swallow green snake several
inches longer than its own body.
A SNAKE nineteen feet seven inches in

He stole several before he was caught.
A RACE between u toad and an adder

LONE KISS BEFORE PARTING"

The Request with Which q MarchionesO
Astonlshed q Young shopman.
A lady OF fashion had been lettering
for nearly an hour in fashionable
music shop recently. She had pur-
chased copy of nearly every piece of
music that had q sentimental title and
had sent out to her carriage whole
portmanteau full of Glove" - going
through every mood of the feeling,
past, present or future-and was fol-
lowing their example when she paused
upon the step as if meditating whether
she should take it or some other step
that was evidently turning itself over
in her mind.
The shopman, says the Sheffield Tele-
graph, who had been somewhat moved
by the tender tone of voice in which
she had asked him: "Wilt thou love me
then as now?" watched her with an
anxiety that betrayed itself too plainly
in the adjustment of his shirt collar and
the arrangement of his hair. Suddenly
the lady seemed resolved, as with one
bound she cleared the pavement, and,
restless and pale, her auburn ringlets
tluttering in the wind, stood once more
before the admiring shopman.
81 had nearly forgotten" she said, in
a voice that seemed to veil her blushing
words; dear! dear! I cannot tell
where my head is today / come back
to ask you if by chance"-here she
paused, as if to take new courage,
whilst the trembling shopman posted
his two thumbs elegantly on the ma
hogany counter. and leant his body in
quiringly forward-''to ask you to be
kind enough to give me one kiss before
parting"
"M-a-a-a-d-a-m!" exclaimed the aston
ished shopman.
81 want you" repeated the mar
chioness, "to let me have one kiss before
parting-one will do, if you please"
She raised her beautiful blue eyes full
upon his, and met them boldly and I'M
blushingly. She then, without betray-
ing any emotion, repeated her question,
adding, as calmly as possible: IF you
cannot give it me now, will call some
other time"
He could doubt no longer. Springing
over the counter, he seized hold of the
lady's fair form, and then and there
gave the kiss she so earnestly begged
for previous to departure. To his great
establishment, the only return the lady
gave was box on the ears. This was
followed by a volley of blows dealt by
her parasol over his head, which was
accompanied with an equal number of
shricks, that never terminated till the
police came into the shop.
The affair was carried to the nearest
police court, but was soon dismissed
upon its being explained that Zone
Kiss Before Parting" was the name of
song which the unsophisticated shop
man, blissfully green from his native
fields, had never heard of before. 1t
was favorite joke afterward to ask
the lady whenever she was ut the pi-
ano if she would mind giving just lone
kiss before parting"

OF iron ore found within several miles
Of Alexandria. He wouldn't tell
where, but said that the place was not
tar from town. The ore will be sent
north to be assayed, and if it comes
up to the standard Alexandria will
have fine prospects before it IN the
new feature-iron. The specimens
shown by W. Wclch were very good :;
several had large quantities ofiron in
them, If one may Judge from appear

NJ. Welcl contends that it is good
IRON and can be worked very clIeaply.
The supply is limitness. Specimens of
the ore can be seen st the office Of
Welch Il Marye. They are willing
and anxious to show the iron and any
i who wants to see it can do so
easily.
If the hopes of the discoverer and
Mr.. Welch can be realized this discov-
en- will indeed be a treasure to this
section OF the country. For then Ra-

agricultural parish in the State and

VIII can 10 it. IIcnccforth excuses will
not be taken for performance and the
government Of the people will be
stronger in the land" This contest We
would remind the puplic was not pre-
tipitatoj by the l:epuLliean majority
but by the Democratic minority. \
precedent has been established BY the
Fifty First Congress which will not only
have its influence upon the successive
sessions Of Congress, but the State leg
islaturcs AMI all de,iberatiye bodies will
gradually adopt these obviously just
rules Those rules which far more accord
with this age Of advanced Intelligence
than the old system which had for its
oBjec. an impc1iment to legislation rath-
er than the promotion. Truly it may
be styled remarkable Congress- re-
markable for the business like manner
m which it was conducted remarkable
for the amount Of business which it
transacted remarkable for he amount
of time devoted to actual work, aud re-
markable for the importfece of that
work. As a result Of the work Of the
Ffty-First Congress a great number OF
measures which for years have engaged
attention Of our legislative bodies will
be transferred to the executive and Judi
cial departments there perhaps to be
also considered at length. In fact near
" all measures Of real interest have re-
coived decisive action in one or the 9th
er branch Of Congress We will not in
this issue consider the merits Of the spe-
sial bills, but will take them up on q
future occasion The pages of history
will be replete with the variations o
the grea: and good work of the Fifty.
