PANTHER SEEN NEAR BENTON.

Hon. w. c. Whitthorne, of Benton, was in Little Rock Tuesday and told a story to a Gazette reporter about a panther which was seen few days ago by farmer only short distance from his town. The farmer was driv- ing several COWS home from the pas ture when the creature jumped into the middle of the road in front of the stock in crouching position. He seemed as much surprised as the farmer, when the latter seized stick and frightened him away by demon stration all too warlike for his notions of bravery. The cattle which the far mer was driving were very much frightened and immediately stam peded. According to the current story in Benton, there is no doubt that the creature was really pan ther, the man who claims to have seen it having had experience with it's kind before. The negroes and many of the whites near the town are much excited over the incident, and cratic efforts have been made to hunt the animal down with dogs. It is prob able that regularly organized hunt will be started in few days and the country for miles, thoroughly beaten. No loss of stock has been reported vet

The convention nominees, who have been in the field against the primary nominees, announced Tues day morning that they would con- tinue the race no further. They could not get on the ticket as regular dem ocrats, but would have to run as inde- pendents. Being unwilling to do this, they withdrew and left the democrats who were nominated by the primary in full possession of the field.

HORSEHAiH SNAKES.
Peculiar Habits of These ThreadliISe
Little Serpents.

The "horsehair snakes" are small.
flesh colored mites which live princi-
pally in stagnant water. After going
through various transformations they
come to the surface. of the water in the
shape of very slender, purplish looking
threads. When they reach this last
stage, they leave the water and work
their way up the stalks and leaves of
aquatic plants. When opportunity af-
fords, they attach themselves to the
feet, legs. wings and other parts of
larger insects. often, as one authorit!
states. creeping under the wing case
of beetles. In the case of the cricket,
katydid, grasshopper and other insects
of that ilk. whose legs are hollow. the
tiny horsehair takes the advantage and
creeps up the hollows into the very
vitals.
This accounts for the fat and clumsy
condition Of some individuals Of the
above named species. single specimens
of the cricket having been caught with
over two dozen Of these threadlike
Snakes" attached to and inside OF
their bodies. After heavy rains, which
frequently drown crickets and katydids
which are weighted down by these
parasites, the "horsehair snake"

mature state he Is the delight Of the
curiosity seeker and mine of study to
those who delight to delve In natures
bypaths. Those which have been for
tunate enough not to have been carried
very far from water by the insects
which they encountered during life
make their way back to the ponds to
lay their eggs. They then wrap them
selves around the eggs, which soon
hatch into the little flesh colored mites
mentioned in the opening. About this
time the parent snake" dies to make
room for its progeny.
