A Snake in n Horses Eye.

Fred. G;raes, Shepherd Bay
butcher, has Il horse upon which Il
delicate surgical operation has been
performed. There are few similar
eases on record, says the New York
World. The horse some time ago was
troubled with its right eye. A film
grew over the pupil and the horse
became nervous md at times unman-
ageable.
ID. William Shepherd. n veterinary
surgeon, examined the eye yesterday
and found II case of what is known
ms .'snake in the eye When the
film was removed. sure enough there
was a little wiggler. An incision was
made in the corner of the eye next to
the nostris and n small silver hook
was imbedded. When the little snake
got near enough he was hooked ana
drawn out. The snake was 81 inches
long and not larger than Il horse halr.
Its head resembles that OF anana-
conda in its general features. IT was
placed in n bottle of alcohol and will
be sent to IL medical laboratory ut
Glasgow, Scotland. 1t is Thought
the horse will lose the sight OF the
eve, but is fortunate TO survive the
operation, as snake in the eye is
looked upon by old horsemen as

4 Great Demonstration Expected.

The rcnterment of Hon. Jefferson
Davis on May 3t will probably be one
of the biggest demonstrations OF the
kind ever witnessed in Richmond.
The Davis Monument Association,
who are in charge of the arrange
ments, do not ut present expect to
have amy formal Grafton, but simply
the Episcopal burial services at the
grave. The parade which will follow
the remains of the dead ex-President
of the Confederacy to its final resting
place in Hollywood will doubtless be
one of the largest witnessed in that
city. Nearly Il thousand cav;.lrymen
are expected to he in line, besides
representatives of other arms OF the
service, Confederate veteran assocla-
tions and civilians. The Governors
of each OF the Southern States through
which the funeral train passes on ITS
route from New Orleans will probably
accompany the relnainsto Richmond.
