SNAKE.DlTE REMEDY.
An An::inte That EnGcks Out the 0,d Standard Remedy.

A day or two since ChGs. Loyett, who is veil known and is now Ge,ying inte Mother Earth for some of the hidden treasure located in par,icu- lar spot near Sorin ranch in the Lra- go0ns, was li!ten by 6 snake of the Black Diamond species, in fife ting a painful wound on the leg. The snaks, about five feet long, was dispatched, and its skin, a beautiful enc, is HOW numbered among the creepy collee- ton q r9ptiian rcii~s at the S0rin ranch. Eeaarkatl2 as 1t may appear, Ciarias does not mird q snake bite much more than an attack by mos quito. 1la knows of . simple remedy which is most always close at hand and beats any snake poison sn,iiOte extau.. He applies the irs-h-cut side of half an onion to the wonnd, and while waiting boils two or three of the same and applies them. Relief follows quickly. Charles has been bitten a dozen times, aud therefore las had frequent opportunity 10 test tie etii- eacy oi this remedy, which he says has never failed him. The bibulous Kentucky deacon might as well throw away his snake and take the pledge, IS his better half will hereafter insist on filing his pockets with onions when he gOeI ou. for promenade in the snake season.

Mr.. d. c. O'M4LLEY SHOT.

Saturday Mr.. D. G. O'Malley,
proprietor OF the New Orleans City
Item, was dangerously shot by ex-
Judge E. S. Whitaker, of New
Orleans. The evidence concerning
the beginning is quite conflicting,
but when shot Mr.. O'Malley was
retreating from Judge whitaker.
In fact he was followed up and
shot by his assailant.
On hearing that Mr.. O'Malley
was in no immed late danger, Judge
Finnegan admitted the accused
to bail in the sum of S5OOO
The assault of Judge Whitaker
evidently grew out Of serious casti-
cations which he had been recent
ly receiving from the City Item.
However, this paper says its edi-
torials were not near SO severe as
were those Of the Times-Democrat
when charges were made against
Mr.. Whitaker when he was Re-
corder
From the length Of time it took
the police to get to the scene Of the
shooting, coupled with the fact that
the City Item had been right be-
hind Chief Caster lately, THE
PROGRESS eyes may be magnify
ing to q considerable extent, but it
certainly thinks it sees a bug under
that chip.

A duel in high life took place in
France Sunday between Prince
Henry Of Orleanc, France, and
Victor Emanuel, Count of Turin,
tally.
The difference grew out of criti-
cisms Of the Italian army by the
Prince, who was acting as CORES
pendent for the New York Herald
and Paris Figaro, and the articles
were published last July.
The duel was fought with swords
the engagement lasting five rounds.
But the Count seemed the more ex-
pert of the two and wounded his
antagonist three times and himself
received only trifling scratch.
Prince Henry is doing quite we'll
and extended his hand to the Count
while his wound was being exam
ined on the field.
