HETTY GREEN'S WEALTH.
She Would Have City of Palaces If
Her Mortgages Were ForecIosed.

No one knows precisely the extent
of Hetty Green's wealth. 1t consists
for the most part of government bonds.
railroad stocks and mortgages, &C
cording to the Ladies' Home Journal.
She says she is not so fond of govern
ment bonds since the finances of the
nation have become polluted with poll
tics. Good mortgages of any kind are
now her favorite form of investment
II all the mortgages she holds were
foreclosed tomorrow % churches of
various denominations, in almost as
many states, would become hers, and
four cemeteries would be added to her
real estate. Besides there would be
blocks of great business buildings and
splendid city houses, theaters, livery
stables and hotels, country residences.
farms and ranches, factory buildings
and thousands of acres of valuable
land in all parts of the country. Sew
eral years ago she made tour of in
spection of all the property on which
she held mortgages. She spent two
years travelling and stayed at 40
hotels, in as many cities. Since then
she has added largely to her holdings
Of this kind. The most conservative
estimates place Mrs. Green's wealth
at 6O,000,000 but it is probably more.
She, herself, won't discuss the matter,
except to say that it is overstated.

Ugly Women.

The mother of the Regent d'Orleans,
who governed France during the mi
nority of Louis XIV, has been thrust
into public notice lately as the one
woman who ever acknowledged her
own physical ugliness. A New York
woman who is known to a great many
people said, not long ago: II think
must be the ugliest person that ever
lived, for in all my life l have never
had beau. No man has paid me
one moments attention beyond that
of ordinary friendship. Every wo-
man l know-and there are scores Of
abominally homely ones among them
has had at least one offer. Most
of them have married, and the plain
est of them all has had three hus-
bands! Does not that prove that l am
the very ugliest woman on earth?" If
anyone can give an instance of frank
ness to surpass that confession it
should be printed Immediately.

How Horse Kills a Snake.

Few of us have ever seen a horse
kill a snake, but Mrs. Custer de-
scribes the performance in st.
Nicholas:
AS they were pushing out of
jungle on foot one day, the colonel
said: "Samanthy is a little too attent-
i've, ALT; he shoves himself alongside
of me, and when I demonstrate he
backs little, but keeps so close he
almost treads on my heels" well,
father, I suppose he thinks nothing
can go on without him. He's been in
everything I ever did yet" AS they
came to a narrow defile, with the
branches of the trees festooned with
moss and the ground tangued with
vines and thick underbrush, Samanthy
forgot his manners and crowded 70
the front. There was hardly room
for two abreast. The colonel, peer
ing into the thicket for birds, heard
what he took to be the whirr of pleas
ants wings, and he lifted his gun to
take aim. The Kid, pressing on, saw
with his keen eyes that it was moth
ing so harmless as the rising of a
cOVey Of birds. A huge rattlesnake,
overlooked by the colonel in his in
tense concentration on the thicket,
lay coiled directly in front of him.
the victims mouth kissing, the eyes
cleaning with fire. ALT was in agony
He could not fire, for his father or the
poney would have received the shot,
as they were placed. But a more
vigilant pair of eyes than even the
Kids had discovered the reptile, and
with spring in front of the colonel,
and with the incest eXactitude, down
came the pony with buck jump, his
boots close together on the head of
the snake, crushing in the deadly
fangs, and fiattening the skull into
the soft soil! Still there was an
OminOus rattle of the tail, and the
little nag gathered himself again,
bowed his supple back, and drove his
hoofs int the notified skin of the
deadly zoe of mankind.

Human Freiqht Overheard,

Take, as an illustration. the chase
of the British cruiser Black Joke. after
the slavers Rapido and Regulo in the
Blight of Benin, in 1881. The two
slavers were seen coming together out
Of the Bonny river in September. The
Black Joke at once sent two small
going in one of them. The slavers put
about and made all sail up the rivers,
but it was soon apparent that they
could not escape. What happened
then is told by Captain Ramsey, Of the
Black Joke, in his official report
During the chase they were seen
from our vessels to throw their slaves
overheard, by twos, shackled together
by the ankles, and left in this manner
to sink or swim as they best could.
Men, women. and children were seen
in great numbers, struggling in the
water; and, dreadful to relate, upward
