ARRIVAL OF a Bio SNAKE.-Captain
Thompson of the British steamship
Benalder, which arrived here yester-
day from ports east of s;uez, brought,
besides tea and curos, the biggest snake
story ever unravelled in this neighbor
hood. The Benalder made slow voy
age, but she wouldn't have done SO if
she could have utilized the knots the
boa kuots-into which the great snake
on her deck tied itself all the way
across. The snake is from Sumatra.
The captain says it is four iathoms
aud half long, which, expressed in
shore terms, means twentyseven feet
He has measured it, but that is what
they told him at Sumatra. He thinks
the circumference of the big boa is
about two feet. He bought the suake
on speculation, not by the fathom, and
is willing to sell it. Maybe that has
something to do with the skipper's esti-
mate of its length. The snake is 80
wears old, the skipper says, and long
for its age.
Among the boa's former companions
of the jungle on the VOYAGE are ten
Java monkeys, two tailless monkeys,
one sacred white monkey a perfect al
bino with pink eyes, from Borneo;
twelve parrots, one cassowary and one
baby elephant. There were originally
two white monkeys, but one died. One
of the Java monkeys, while suffering
from seasickness, committed suicide by
Jumping from the rigging into the sea.

A WONDERFUL STONE.

Mr.. J. f. Hauck, of Lewisburg, Pa,
has in his possession maidstone, which
was found in the stomach of white
deer killed by his father number of
years ago. This stone if applied to q
bite into which poison has been in
jected, at once draws it out, and when
It's pores are filled drops of. The
stone resembles petrified sponge, and
when placed on bite it sticks to it
like leech, and after it is filled and
drops off can be soaked in milk and
made ready for another application.
The reason these stones are found in
the stomach of a white deer is given by
the Indians as follows:
The white deer is more susceptible
to vegetable poison taken into the
stomach when eaten with grass. To
preserve the life of the animal nature
has placed in the stomach this porous
Stone, which at once absorbs the poison
neutraliZes it and saves the deer's
life"
Mr.. Hauck showed the stone to al
old time cowboy, E. L. SINNERS, Of
Shamokln, on Thursday, who has seen
the stones used on number Of different
occasions, and Mr.. SINNERS says that
of the three stones be has ever seen
this one is by far the most perfect.
Mr.. Hauck learned some time ago
that man had been bitten in Williams
port by dog which was supposed TO
have been mad, and he took the after
noon train for Wiliamsport and applied
the stone to the bite with wonderful
success Two applications of the stone
drew all of the poison and swelling ou'
Of the mans leg.
There are only four of these stones
known to he in existence, and thew are
in the Bellevue hospital, New York;
Fort Worth, Texas, Kansas City, and
the other in Lewsburg, Pa, owned by

I Shall Not Fear.

I shall not fear Though tcmpost's roar,
Wild breakers dash from shore to shore,
Though darkness falls and earth is drear,
I feel no fright, for God is near.
shall not fear Though sorrows roll
Like troubled waves across my soul,
I'll gladly kiss the Christening rod
And turn for refuge to my God.
I shall not fear Thy love to me
Is wide and boundless as the sea.
Though earthly treasures from me hee
l have treasure still in Thee.
l shall not fear Since can see
Thy loving hand outstretched TO NE,
Aud though l here in darkness gIope
I grasp that hand with new born hope.
shall not fear, but still press on
To endless joy and jeweled crown,
Til l shall reach that realm above
To dwell mid scenes OF perfect love.
shall not fear, since to Thee
My life, my love, my all resign,
And never more content to be
Until this life is lost in thine.

UP-TO.DATE BANK NOTES.

The first of the new S2 and $5 silver
certificates are now ready for issue
They bid fair to excite as much attention
and criticism as the 81 note. Like it
they are ambitious, artistic creations,
and are totally unlike anything the
people are familiar with in the way Of
paper money. Their fronts are printed
in black ink, and their backs in the
more familiar green. The 81 note was
designed by Mr.. Edwin II. Blashfield,
OF New York. The frontispiece is an
allegorica representation Of "science
presenting steam and electricity to
commerce aud manufacture, and con-
sisls of five partly nude female figures
in graceful poses. The treatment is de-
scribed as almost distinciively Ameri
can. The general idea of the main de-
Sign is carried out on the back of the
note, the main decorations of which are
vignettes of Fulton and Morse.
Waller Shirlaw, of New York, de-
signed the - note, which is, if any
thing, more striklngly original than
either OF the other two. The face is al
mcsr entirely taken up with an allegori
cal picture representing America en-
tightening the world" America is
represented by beautiful female. part
ly nude, holding in her right hand up
lifted lighted incandescent lamp. She
stands upon a representation of the
North American continent, and the
rays of the lamp are shed in all direc-
tions. Reclining at her feet is II female
figure OF Fame, with the traditional
trumpet aud few clothes. Flanking
these figures, which occupy the center
OF the front, is on one side q representa-
tion of Jupiter in his aerial chariot in
the set of hurling a thunderbolt, typify-
Ing force. On the other side is repre-
sen alton of Peace, with the dove, etc.
ruere is also a fine view of the Capitol.
The general effect is that OF n liberal
display of electricity and beautiful wo-
men. Tue treatment of the idea, in
Guiding decoration. is that OF the mod
eru school o renaissance. The back Of
the note contains portraits OF Grant and
Sheridan. Uulike the vignettes on the
81 and 81 notes which are arranged in
the middle, the vignettes on the So
notes are at opposite ends.
