4 HOUSE WITH A ROMANCE.
First the Home of a Quaint Quaker and
Then of a Lottery King.

First the Home OF Quaint Quaker aud
Then of Lottery King.
On tongue Of wooded land formed
by the GIebe and Goldsborough creeks
in Talbot county there is a house with
q romantic story. When, in 1861, Wen
lock Christison, the Quaker, was seized
by Puritan mob headed by the Rev.
Seaborn Cotton, tried and condemned
by Governor Endicott to die, pardoned
by the king and let off with fogging
at the carts tail ON the highway, he
found sanctuary in Maryland, where
Lord Baltimore granted him asylum on
the tongue of land that cools itself in
the pleasant waters Of st. Michael's
river-Miles they call it now. Here the
indomitable Quaker abode and prosper

governors and magistrates and testify
ing for 1.-THE truth and the light with
out fear of clubs or cart tails. Those
easy going eastern shoremen actually
made him burgess, and he and his de-
scendants long dwelt in peace in the old
brick manor house, of which a frag-
meat still survives.
In time by lapse Of heirs the place
fell to the possession of Richard France,
the famous lottery king" of Maryland,
who built the turreted villa there and
adorned the ground with fountains and
winding walks, Conservatives and gar.
den gods, to the ELUSIVE wonder ana
admiration of the natives But Mary
land, taking up scruples, set her face
against lotteries, and France for time
coquetted with Delaware until Della
ware in like manner turned prudish,
and the last we hear Of the lottery
king" is that he had died in debtor 5
prison.
Then the garden gods fell on their
faces, and thorns sprang up and choked
them, and all was desolation and respect
ability. Again the villa waited not in
vain, for one day the windows were
opened, exposing all the CHASTITY gaps
in their panes, and q strange man, I'M
tidy and shock headed, pottered about
in the weedy, seedy garden, grim and
churlish recluse. But negro curiosity,
once sharply piqued, is persistent and
penetrating, and forthwith Ethiopia be-
gan to gossip about the strange man,
how that he was a blacksmith from
Connecticut and an oracle in local
political circles, one to whom Big Six"

place day or two later, looked foolish

HUNTING PYrAoNs IN MArAL
Burn Forests and Dig Pits to Capture the
Immense Reptiles.

Immense Reptiles.
The colony of Natal, South Africa,
abounds in boa constructors and pythons
While they do not attack men they are
especially destructive of cattle, sheep
and oxen, and for this reason parties
are formed by hunters and natives to
burn the bush and forest in order TO OK.
terminate the pests Some of the sol
diers at Pietermaritzburg were recently
informed by party of neighboring Zu-
lus of the whereabouts of huge python
that had been destroying their oxen.
The soldiers, with 900 natives. start
ed off to capture the snake, and having
located it the forest was fred for about
a mile roundabout, an enormous pit
having been previously dug in toward
the center of the inclosed space. What
with the burning brush and the shouts
of the Kafiirs they soon drove the rep
tile toward the pit. where. closing in
upon him, they forced him into it. The
python proved to be of enormous size,
being 32 feet long and Al inches in cir
conference. 1t appeared to be quite stu
pid or dazed, having just eaten young
OK that had been led into the Enclosure.
An enormous cage, with iron bars
half way down the front, having been
constructed, the snake was got out OF
the pit and taken to Maritzburg in the
cage. Here it is kept on exhibition at
the barracks, and it is fed twice week
two Kaffir goats at each meal. 1t will
not eat anything that has been already
killed for it, preferring to kill its food
itself. The goats are thrust through a
small door at the end of the cage alive,
when, fixing its great eyes upon them,
the snake suddenly lunges forward ana
brushes them in its powerful folds Aft
er covering them with thick slime Il

it flattens them out by squeezing therl
and then swallows them almost ut i

The Portuguese historians record
several months of diminished sun

rare and unaccountable freaks. In the

amend an act entitled An act to incorpor-
ate the Maryland and Washington Railway
Company approved August 1. 1892. and
for other purposes which was referred
to them for their views thereon.
AS to section l. lines II to ID, page g.,
requiring the railroad company to dedi-
cate Rhode Island avenue to a width of
100 feet, the Commissioners are of the opin-
ion, as expressed in their recommends
ton to the Senate committee recently, in
their report upon Senate bill 1851, ITO
amend the charter of the Maryland and
Washington Railway Company" that the
dedication of strip CO feet in width, To-
Gated in the center Of the proposed extern

sufficient requirement.
AS. to section ., authorizing the issue Of

in lines IS and 10, page 8, as follows:
THAT the stock shall be wholly paid for
before any bonds shall be issued" the
Commissioners recommend that as the eX-
listing act provided for the expenses of
construction and equipment by an issue Of
stock not exceeding 5000, 900, that an issue of
bonds be not authorized; and if the amount
of stock named was not reasonable and
sufficient. which it might not be on account
of the extension of the road, that the capt.
tai stock be increased to $4,000.

At the conclusion of his talk Judge Har-
Ian said that in view of certain recent pub
LEGATIONS to the effect that the representa-
tives of this country before the Paris tri-
bunal, Gen. Foster and the others had not
secured all they should, it was right for
him to say that no country was ever bet
ter represented than was the United States
on this occasion, and that everything was
done that could be done to secure proper
regulations for the seal industry.
