SAN Francisco, Sept. 6.-The John L.
Sullivan combination has been dismal
failure in Australia. Night after night
John has had to- play to an array of
empty benches, and when the Mar1posa
left the members of the troops were long
ing for San Francisco, On the opening
night all the toughs in Sydney filed
cheap seats, but in the dress circle was
not a lady to be seen, Everywhere that
Sullivan played it was the same-res-
pectable people would not go to the
play. When the steamer left Sydney
Sullivan's mbination were about to
proceed to Melbourne. A number of
Americans greeted Sullivan on his arri-
val in the colonies, but no reception of
note was given him. Sullivan proceeded
to indulge in liquor on his arrival in
Sydney, but did not create any disturb
ance. Captain Haywood stated the sto-
ries of Sullivan's conduct on shipboard
are much exaggerated. A party of five
roughs attacked Sullivan while in Her
Majesty's saloon, but the latter and a
companion promptly knocked them
down, after which the roughs escaped.

numerous horses that are in training for
the coming fair. Three horses persisted
in the flames. One of these was the
promising three year old trotter owned
by Mcdonald Bros. of this city, and
valued at $780,. Another was a spotted
mare worth about $75 and the third was
the horse Smoke owned by.Chas. Stone
and valued at $3.50. The only persons
near the fire at its commencement were
A. j. Swift, Tom Strickland and E. L.
Boynton. These gentlemen did every
thing in their power to save the horses
which were confined in the stables and
deserve very great credit for their work
but they were all under the impression
tha Rexford was. the last horse on the
east else they might have been able to
save them also. As there was no water
it was only by hard work that the entire
row of buildings and sheds on the south
side of the grounds were saved. There
is very strong impression that this fire
was the work of an incendiary and a
man has been arrested who has, by all
accounts none too good record to
exempt him from the crime. All the
property destroyed, amounting in value
is perhaps $2500 was total loss to the
owners, excepting only an insurance of
5000 on the buildings.

The Citizens Meeting.

The impression that the city has been
for the past few days almost completely
in the hand of thieves and incendiaries

TENDERNESS.

Not unto every heart is Gods good gift
OF simple tenderness allowed, we meet
With love in many fashions when we lift
First to our lips lifes waters, bitter sweet;
Love comes upon US with resistless power
OF curbless passion and with headstrong will;
1t plays around like Aprils breeze and shower,
Or calmly flows q rapid stream, and still
1t comes with blessedneSs unto the heart
That welcomes it Alright, or-bitter fate
1t wrings the bosom with so fierce smart
That love, we cry, is crueler than hate.
And then, ahl mel When love has ceased to
bless,
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness.
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About us, lying on our mothers breast;
A selfish feeling, that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings it best;
A love as far removed from passions heat
AS from the chillness of its dying fire;
A love to lcal on when tho failing feet
Begin TO tOtter and the eyes to tire.
In youths brief hcyday hottest love We seek,
The reddost rose VIC grasp-but when it dies,
God grant that later blossoms, violcts meek,
May spring for us beneath life's autumn
skies.
God grant some loving one be near to bless
Our weary way with simple tenderness.

THE BLACKSNAKE.

treats.
Ask any of the farmers or hunters in
this part OF Monroe County whether
they are afraid of rattlesnakes and they
will answer promptly that they don't
mind them very much, writes Penn.
sylvania correspondent. Ask them if
they fear blacksnakes and they will say
yes without the slightest hesitation
This fear of blacksnakes has come down
to most of them from their parents with
a story that none OF them is ever tired
Of telling. They all declare that it is
true and is so we'll known and is told
with so much solemnity and evident
fear by the natives that it is hard to dis
believe it. The story runs like this:
Many years ago a well-to-do farmer
lived with his family near the barren
land verging on Pike County. His wife
was city bred and unused to many OF
the hardships that are part of the
farming woman's life. She was strong
and hardy, however, with plenty of
nerve, and grit enough to make the
best of things. One day, while her hus-
band was working on clearing good
distance from the house, she went down
to the spring for a pail of water AS
she stopped over to fill the pail black
snake that had been lying coilcd near
the spring, jumped at her. She screamed
and jumped back, but the snake had
| buried it's fangs in her dress, and before
she could recover herself sufficiently to
shake him off he had wound himself
about her so tightly as to prevent her
from walking. Then he began slowly
to crawl upward. The poor woman
struck at the snake with her hands.
They were badly bitten, but she was
so overcome with fright that she did not
mind this, and kept on striking at him.
The serpent kept crawling up until his
coils were about her breast. She tried
to tear him loose, but she was not strong
enough. She became nearly paralyzed
by terror The snake finally coiled him
self around her neck and choked her.
She started toward the house, but she
had only gone a short distance when she
fell. In the evening she WIS found by
her husband lying dead, with the snake
still coiled about her neck.
This story, with the we'll known fact
that a blacksnake is ever ready and
willing to fight anything that lives
makes the native afraid of him, and the
man who kills blacksnake is thought
to have won greater battle than the
slayer of dozen rattlesnakes.
''You can't brighten blacksnake, y
said one old hunter, land the moro you
try to the more he hain't frightened. A
rattlesnake is coward, and will run il
you give him half chance If he doesn't
get the chance he will rattle in fear and
then strike in desperation. A rattle
snakes bite is not nearly as danger
Gus as many people suppose. All that
you have to do to render the wound
harmless is to cut in as deep as the
fangs went, then go to the nearest brook
and wash it thoroughly. a common
poultice will soon heal the wound made
by the knife. But if a big blacksnakt
tackles you, and you give him chance
to get one coil about your body, why
then, look out for it is your life or his

USEFUL HOBBIES.

How Spare Time May Be Probably Oc-
cuped.
Hard study hurts no man, and tAere is
no knowing when it may serve man a
good turn. During the time that he was
. lawyer and clerk of tho courts in New
Haven, the late General Terry was a
hard student in military scierce and
tactics. He read all of the leading works
from European campaigners and tacUi-
clans, and kept himself thoroughly
posted upon all progress in military
science and all improvements in the
art of war. This was his recreation.
He could not have supposed that the
time would come when this information
would be of use to him; but we doubt if
there was West Point man of his age
any better read in all literature or works
pertaining to the profession of tho SOL
der. The war came, and Terry, with
the first sound of tho tocsin, offered his
services. Then his studies came into
play, and without political influence,
without personal solicitation, on his
worked his way to the front rank. 1t
does a man good to have useful hobby.
1t may prove to be his good friend sose
day. Hours upon hours are wasted BY
men that might be devoted to study; but
these men will tell you they never
have a moments time" We met, not
long since, most entertaining old gen.
!lemen, whose life has been one OF con-
slant effort in political and business
life, and yet his general reading was
most comprehensive, and he took up
study OF Hebrew after no was seventy
years of age. Of course this erudition,
which made him charming converse
tionalist, was not acquired by playing
pool in club house. He would have

NV friend and / went about 40 yards

light was now full upon US, we waited

for while which enabled us 20 hear il
one should gobble. We moved on lit

This time we were rewarded for our per-
severance, for there came down the
glade a sound that electrified US. To me
it was like wine: it was the ''gobble,
gobble" that | remembered SO we'll in
early days, In a moment all my early
instincts return, and the exclamation
escapes me, You are my bird"
The gobble sounded much further
away than it was, owing to the wind
blowing in the contrary direction. We
moved little nearer and selected
place of concealment, | taking my posi-
ton behind a prickly-pear bush, whose
large fan-like leaves were so arranged to
make first-rate windows to see through.

full view about $50 yards distance. A

him our way. Slowly and majestically
