THE BRAZILIAN ANACONDA.
An Immense and Formidable Reptile That
 Lives to a Great Age.

Lives to a Great Age.
 The late MT Bates in his II years spent in the Brazilian forests saw and beard more of tho habits of the anaconda than most travellers, though; like other great serpents, tho individuals of this species are so little common that their appearanco in any one district is too infrequent to mako special study of their habits part of the days work of a busy naturalist. Bates first personal experience of tho creature shows how impossible it is to avoid the python by the ordinary means of isolation sufficient to keep other danger ous creatures at a distance. He was at an choE in large boat, in deep water, in the port of Antonio Malagueita
 An anaconda swam out to tho boat, lift ed it's head from the water, broke in the side of a fowlhouse on deck and carried off a couple of fowls It was found that this snake had been stealing ducks and fowls from this part of the river for months, so hunt was organized miles of river bank were searched and the serpent at last found summing itself in a muddy creek and killed. It was "not largo specimen, only IS feet inches long" But MT. Bates measured skins of anacon- das which were 21 feet in length and feet
  doubt that this formidable serpent grows to an enormous bulk and lives to great age, for have heard of specimens having been killed which measured 42 feet in length, or double the size of the largest which I had the opportunity of exaInin- ing" We must add correction here. They wero double the length, but the size of these great reptiles, like that of fish, increases enormously with every addition in longitudinal growth.
 A snake of 20 feet in length would be probably four times the weight of one 10 feet long, and the bulk of 40 foot ana conda would approach that of the largest crocodile Since the publication of 'The Naturalist's Voyage on the Amazons" an anaconda of 29 feet has been brought to the Natural History museum at South Kensington. A neighbor of Bates, in Bra gil, nearly lost his 10-year-old son by the attack of an anaconda. He had left the boy in his boat while he went to gather fruit, and on his return found him encir- cled by tho snake, whose jaws the father seized and actually tore them asunder. - Spectator

Those Poll Lists.-Lewis Parsons, Jr, testified ill the election contest of Aldrich vs. Underwood Saturday. He said he had inspected the registration and poll lists of beat 37, Birmingham, and claims to have found many discrepancies in the two lists. He says he found the names of nineteen voters which were not the same on the two lists. In some cases the ini- tials were changed, but the discrepancies were not of such character as to affect the election in anyway.

Bonaparte;ss' &C entler Side.
These purposes made Bonaparte at once
the most gentle and c%onciliatory of men in
some directions; in others they developed
and hardened his imperiousness. His cor
r~espondence mirrors both his mildness and
his arbitrariness. Every letter to the di-
rectory abounds in praise of his officers
and men, accompanied by demands for the
promotion of those who had performed dis
tinguished services. Writing to General
Clarke on Nov. 10, 1895, from Verona, he
says, in words full Of pathos: "Your neph-
CIV Elliot was killed on the battlefield of
Arcole. This youth had made himself ia
miliar with arms. Several times he had
marched at the head Of columns. He
would one day have been an estimable Off
Ger. He died with glory in the face Of the
foe; he did not suffer for q moment. What
reasonable man would not envy such a
death? Who is he that in the vicissitudes
of life would not agree to leave in such q
way a world SO often worthy of contemptP
What one of us has not a hundred times
regretted that he could not thus be with
drawn from the powerful effects Of calum-
that seem almost entirely to control hui
nan conduct"
Perhaps these few words to the widow
Of one of his late generals are even finer:
"Muiron died at my side on the battlefield
Of Arcole. You have, lost a husband that
was dear to you; I, q. friend to whom l
have long been attached, but the country
loses more than us both in the death Of an
officer distinguished no less by his talents
than by his rare courage. II I can be Of
service in anything to you or his child, !
pray you count altogether upon me.'
That was all, but 1t was enough. With
