STATESMEN HALTED BY A SNAKE
With the Help of. Warriors They Man
ago to Do Up the Reptile.

age to Do Up the Reptile.
The first inspection Of land said to be.
desirable for a military camp was made'
yesterday afternoon by the joint leg1s
lative committee appointed to secure a
permanent camp for the Elode lslaEd
militia.
The committee consists of one senator
and two representatives. The commit
tee was accompanied by Brigadier Gen
erals Dennis and Kendall, Colopel
Thornton, Colonel P~hettepiace, Captain
Barker. Captain George A Forsyth
Captain Howe and Senator Andrews.
The first proposed site visited was the
several hundred acres at Hills grove.
The expedition met with an adventure
in pushing it's way through several acres
of brake and brier. The party was
marching in Indian file along the old
Pequot trail, when the head of the col
m was abruptly halted by a large
black snake poised on the decayed limb
of a tree, its head erected, its fangs
ready to strike and its entire attitude
betokening defiance to the Rhode Island
militia, the legislature and the commit
tees thereof.
Forward! forward" called General
Dennis, who was in the rear, but those
in the van declined to bulge an inch.
The reptile gave a warning hiss and its
gaping jaws closed with a suggestive
snap. Its sinuous body advanced to a
higher limb, and again its crest was
erected to do battle. It gave a spring
to another branch, and the head Of the
column wavered; a moment more and ii
would have broken, but just then Sen
ator Titus Andrews, who had been gath
ering a bouquet of mushrooms, came up
and sized up the situation.
Back, back" exclaimed those who
had recovered speech, and who were
fearful of losing q valuable senator
"For WHAT" "The snake, the snakef
they cried. "Oh, yes, l see him. Why
the varmint. Any of you want HIM?
He spoke as though he would pass the
reptile to any one short of a snake. Col
mel P%hetteplace was sorry he hadn't his
sword, and Colonel Forsyth regretted
that he was wftaout a gun Tut, tut!
exclaimed the yeoman senator from
Smithfeld, and passing beneath the
snake seized it by the tail just as Cap
tain Forsyth aimed a blow at it with d
sapling.
"I will show you a little trick OBJ
served General Kendall, lifting the
dead snake by the tail. "See me snap
his head off," He snapped the snake rs
one would snap a whip, but the trick
did not work. The shock revived the
snake and the trick was not renewed.

Saving Eyes by Electric Light.

The public is beginning to realize
that the use of the electric light does
more for the preservation of the eye
sight than any other artificial luminant.
One of the most reassuring evidences OF
this is the adoption of electric light in a
large number Of hospitals devoted to
the treatment of eye diseases. The
Royal South London O%phthalmic hos
pital, which is undergoing extensive
structural enlargement and improve
ments, is being fitted up throughout
with electric light.
1t is also stated that quite an impetus
has been given to the Introduction of
electric lighting into Londonderry, Kill
kenny, Galway and other towns in
Ireland by the declaration of one of the
surgical staff of the Royal Ophthalmic
hospital in Dublin that the electric
light is the best light for eyes that are
weak or affected with disease, and occa-
sions them less discomfort and injury
than that produced from gas. oil or can
lies.-New:York Telegram.

A Ships Lively Cargo.

Several citizens Of Portland a dozen
or so years ago joined in a trading voy-
age to the Sandwich islands or the Ed
ward James. They loaded her with a
general cargo, consisting oflumber, live
stock, salt, salmon, hoop poles, dried
apples, hard cider and some live bears.
One of the parties had heard that cats
were in great demand at the islands and
determined to make q small venture in
felines. He offered the boys twenty-five
cents each for all the cats they might
bring. Portland boys were the same
then as now, only more so, if possible,
and the city was raided and cats cap
tured till there were over a hundred
brought aboard. They were dumped
down the hatchway into the hold with
the bulls and the bears, and they cater
wauled, and the maids and madams who
who had been robbed of their favorite
tabbies wept and waited as the good
ship sailed from the shores Of America.
When out on the raging deep q dread
fuI storm arose, and naturally the ship
was tossed about in a fearful manner.
The bears on the lower deck broke loose
and, amid horrible howlings, proceeded
to devour the bulls, which roared like
lions, and there was pandemonium
broken loose in the bowels Of the ship.

A Bottomless Pot.

An East Side dealer in New York was
lately made the object of a swindle that
-ras rather novel and original. a mid
die aged woman came into his store one
day carrying on her arm a large basket
IN which was a pot with a lid. She
placed the basket on the floor, made
numerous purchases, had her bill count
ed up, and then carefully put all her
articles iiSse- the pet and replaced the
lid with the greatest caution. She next
asked permission Of the store keeper to
leave the articles in his care. as she
wished to do a little more shopping in
the neighborhood, promising to return
in the course Of an hour.
This request was willingly acceded to.
and lifting the pot out of the basket she
carried it carefully to a corner. where
it would be out of the way, set it down,

Relics of Aaron Burr's Trickery.

From time to time for several years
past workmcn employed in digging up
downtown New York streets for i'm
provements have unearthed sections of
wooden pipe--legs with bore of about
five inches-which serve no present use.
These relics recall the story of the polit-
ical iealousies and hatreds of century
ago. which resulted in the duel of HAM
iiton and Burr. Hamilton had practi-
cally monopoly of the banking business
of the city at that time. Burr desired to
engage in the same business. He could
not do so without q charter, and char
ter could only be obtained from the Leg
islature. The Federalists, led by Ham
ilton. controlled the Legislature, and
Burr was the leader of the Republicans.
He could get no bank charter, but he and
his associates did get charter for the
Manhattan Company to supply the city
with water, and 'for other purposes. +"
A reservoir for supplying water was built
at the corner of Duane and Central
streets, and the wooden mains were laid
through Park Row and Broadway. Tho
logs uncovered yesterday were part OF
that primitive water supply system. The
Manhattan Company did not limit Its
business to supplying water, but soon es'
tabished bank under the general pro-
visions OF its charter, and that bank,
known as the Bank of the Manhattan
Company, is still in existence at 80 Wall
street. Burr had outwitted his rival by
legislative trick. Il Boston Transcript.
