Bow a Mine Was Sailed.

At q meeting Of the Society of Medi-
cal Jurisprudence at the Academy of
Medicine, IL West Forty.taird Street,
last night Chemist Albert r. Ledoux
told Of a peculiar method of sailing a
mine.
A party of capitalists were neeotiat-
ing for mine in Colorado, and the bar
gain was to take place if the assay
proved a certain percentage OF gold to
the ton.
AS the transactions involved q large
amount Of money, Mr.. Ledeux went
out himself to secure his specimen rock
and superintend the tests. All went
well until the washings were put in an
open crucible to get final results.
The owner of the mine, it was no.

quent intervals expectorated apparent

time the assayer caught him by the
neck and forced his mouth open. His
jaws proved to be stuffed with more
gold dust than tobacco.

Of this gentleman proved the rock to be

SNAKE, CAT AND OLD HEN.

Biddy Disposed Of the Ophidian Neatly
by Swallowing Il Alivs.
Mrs. j. j. Edison discovered that the
house cat and a snake were having
battle in the yard, and called Mr.. Edison
to the rescue of kitty. But Mr.. Edison
was more curious to see the fight go on
than he was anxious to rescue the cat,
especially as the cat did not seem anx
was of the species commonly known as
the spreading adder" and about Is
inches long, would curl itself into posi-
ton time and again and strike vIciouslv
at the cat. The cat must have had some
previous training under the Jim Corbett
system, for its 1.-the body was just out of
reach Of the reptiles poisonous fangs
every time. The cat retorted by bound
ing at its snakeship with surprising
quickness, and with wide-open claws
would try to tear the body of the snake.
Sometimes the snake would spread out
it's head until it seemed twice its natur-
al size But this only made the cat use
her claws more swiftly.
The peculiarly fascinating battle scene
continued for several minutes, watched
by Mr.. and Mrs. Edison. Both COM
batants at last took a breathing spell.
Seemingly Qulto IlToU. ADOuI Tie IlIu0
host1lities commenced anew, an old
hen with her brood of young chickens
appeared on the spot. The hen sided
with the cat and attacked the snake,
for the purpose. as Mr.. Edison thought,
of getting a meal for the little ones, and
after pecking at it once or twice
caught it firmly just back of the head
and shook it violently. The little
chicks thought that they would have a
picnic. But not SO; the hen deliber-
ately swallowed the whole snake be-
fore it was dead. The little chicks
looked disguised on account Of their
mothers gluttony, while pussy en-
viously bristled up at seeing the hen
whip the snake clean Tout Of sight"
MIR. Edison says the snake was swal-
lowed with great difficulty, and he was
amazed to see the hen accomplish the
feat Of swallowing SO large a thing.
The spreading adder is very poisonous,
and it is wonderful that the hen did not
die. Beyond appearing to be gorged,
and consequently stupid for short
while, she appeared to be in her usual
good health, and up to LAST accounts
there are no little orphan chickens at

There is an enemy with whom thousands are

In a Pawn ShOD.

On one of the coolest days of last
week young man who looked at first
glance to be we'll dressed, slipped into
one of the numerous pawnbrokers
places on the Bowery. His overcoat,
which he wore tightly buttoned about
his body, was so nearly new that the
''store creases" had rot yet disap-
peared. 1t was OF good material, and
had probably cost $40 or $45. AS soon
as the door closed behind him the man
took off the overcoat, threw it on the
counter, and laconcially asked of the
pawn broker: How much ?" 'fFour
dollars" was the response, after TIE
garment had been carefully examined.
at cost me $40. l want Sl0," pleaded
the man. ''pll give you S." "No."
"WeIl'-after another critical examina-
ton of the coat-"I'il let you have S.,
and not cent MORE" With d curse
the man put the Sc in his pocket, and
walked out into the street to SILVER in
an old, thin and ragged suit of clothes,
which had previously been concealed
by the overcoat. "That coat" said the
pawnbroker to friend who had watched
the transaction, "has probably come
from some careless persons front hall,
but | can't be expected to know all
articles they bring. Besides, the coat is
cheap at S."
Within five minutes after this Incl
dent a really well-dressed man, but
without an overcoat, stepped into the
place by side door. Without a word
he took off his coat, cleared it's pockets
Of a handkerchief, and two or three
letters, which he jammed into his
trousers pocket, and laid the garment
on the counter. The pawnbroker
looked it over and remarked, Seventy
five cents" The man shook his head.
"One dollar" said the pawnbroker, and
the customer held out his hand, and
clutched the money. The only word he
spoke was when he gave name to be
written on the pawn-ticket. He hur-
ried out in his shirt-sleeves, and ran
into saloon few doors away. THAT
sort don't come often,' said the pawn
broker. "He's gambling with so ne
body, and he expects to come back and
get his coat before night. Perhaps ne
will, but [ don't look for him. "-Neay

out IN full view Of his game. AS class
these Indians are the bravest of hunt

terror, and he took to swift and i'm

further says that the animal was IN

The fact that other hunters have told

The NEW YEAR.

BY y. "A. Z.
With glass and scythe and locks of gray,
Old Time pursues his onward way;
I'LL in his forehead, curved and Sere,
We hail the welcome, newt born year.
The new year, ah! what tongue can tell
What changes vast in thee may dwell?
What buried hopes. what grounded fears,
What joys and sorrows, hopes and tears?
AS dew before the sunbeam bright,
Or stars at dawn of morning light;
So shall thy fondest hopes, all! they
AS fair and tleeting fade away.
The dying year what memories throng
Back through its crowded asles along!
To wisdom, scenes of pure delight;
To folly shades of deepest night.
o happy he, whose grateful breast
Receives true wisdom there a guest;
So shall his years serenely glide,
Bright sunbeams on LIES sparkling tide.
The new born year! oh, may it be
The chosen of prosperity;
Where love and friendship claim their birth,
To paradise Transforming earth.
May peace her milder skies extend,
her gentle dews on earth descend,
Till man shall feel their softening power,
And seek the battle plains no more
Till every kindred, tribe and tongue.
Like rainbow hueS in heavens arch hung,
In sweetest harmony shall blenO,
And heavens approving style attend.
0 may the nations prayer arise
Like grateful incense to the Skies
That me whose years unnumbered are
Shall be its guide and guardian star.
So shall the year supremely blest,
OF wisdom, peace and love possessed;
To earth that purity restore
Which sat euthroned in Eden's bower.
When Time his weary race has run,
And sinks to rest lifes latest sun,
And days and years no more shall be,
Then shall the soul redeemed and free
Find in that pure celestial cline,
Unnumbered by the flight of time;
A refuge from life's changeful sea-
Crowned with its own eternity.
