CHAPTER l.

The cobra arrived yesterday June 2). I had previously had cage made for her adjoining that occupied by the rattle snakes. Both cages have slate bottoms, hard wood sides and are glazed in front with plate glass, which can be lifted on grooves like window when necessary. The partition between the cages is pierced by small door, which can be opened or closed by a cord from the outside. The whole affair is fixed at the side of the room opposite the north window and has, to my thinking at least, quite a fine ap- pearance.
 My new guest was rather restless at first and kept rearing up against the glass and exploring every corner of her habitatiOn. Toward evening she quieted down and swallowed some food that l gave her with an air of good fellowship that promises well for the future. am fond of her already. 1 think there is more i'll her than i'll the rattlers. Not necessarily more poison perhaps, but more depth of charactcr-a strange ori- ental charm-and she is certainly as handsome q reptile as ever carried death in her fang.

 tNoTE.-I have taken such liberties with this journal as seemed to me best calculated to pro mote the interests and stimulate the interest of the reader. Mir. Mninwaring probably did not write with view 10 publication, and he often has turned aside to treat of matters which do not belong to the strange story that was developing under his observation. Such passages have generally been expunGed and the narrative made tO read as much as possible like an ordinary novel told in the first person. On the other hand, there is n certain leisureli- ness and Circumstantiality about Mir. Main warnings style. and he possesses n sense of ar tistic propricty and of dramatic effect which have been of infinite service to his editor. Though his journal could have been meant only for his own reference or amusement. he seemed instinCtively to aim at a completeness and symmetry rarely met with in that species of composition. Very rarely indeed have I been obliged to intcrpolatc facts not conveyed in the text. For the rest few transpositions here and there n verbal Cmendation and occa- sionaliy a change in the form of narration cover the limits of my labors. or course l might simply have used the materials at my command to make up a regular novel. But it seemed 10 me that the effect of the tale was much enhanced by the fact that the teller of it was not only himself one of the characters in it. but did not know at tho time he was tell ing 1t what the next day or hour might bring forth. He is quite as much in suspense as the reader can be, and thus a sympathy and confi- dcnce on the readers part are established which could not otherwise be attained. Delib- eratcly planned artistic surprises are lost, but tho compcnsatinG advantages are ample. An earthquake, q murder, a thunderbolt. an elope mcnt, are startling enough in themselves with out being led up to-" Moreover.

A famous after dinner speaker had curious experience one evening last spring. He had been invited to make one of a half dozen speeches upon ger tain occasion. but circumstances over which he had no control prevented his arrival at the board until the evening was we'll nigh at its close. He was called upon to wind up the evenings festivities five minutes after his arrival, and then he got upon his feet and made the finest effort of his life. Much to his surprise his best stories fell fiat, and he was much disappointed therest. On his way home he unbosomcd himself to the toast mas ter in this wise:
 That was an awfully cold crowd to- night. They didn't take my stories well at all. Weren't they good steries:-

 The ancient Carthagiuians built roads for the transportation of troops and military supplies, but well defined roads did not exist until the golden age of the Roman empire. In no one thing does Roman civilization appear to a greater advantage than in the durable, massive structure of her highways. The most important of these roads was the Appian way. Via Appia, which extended from Rome to Brundisium, distance of 3JG miles.
 It was constructed by digging two par allel trenches, or feet in depth, at ti.e bottom of which were placed two layv.s of flat stones in mortar, upon which a layer of Cobblestones was placed. also laid in mortar; then came a course of pebbles or concrete; over this were
