Snake in the Beer.

A dispatch from Clarendon says "A few days ago several men order- cd keg of beer, and, taking it to an old mill building on the river bank, were having a time of it in drink ing. When portion of the beer had been imbibed the whole crowd began feeling sick, and their illness was of such a peculiar nature that they at once attributed it to the beer. Accordingly the keg was inspected thoroughly and a dead snake found in it. Several years ago number of section men on the Cotton Belt road had a similar experience, they, too, finding dead snake in the beer that made them sick"

Fought Like a Demon.

Deputy Sheriff N. A. Bcllcr of Little Rock and a planter named Scruggs had a desperate battle with a man named D. w. Miller few miles from the above place. The officers went to Miller's house to serve warrant charging grand lar ceny. They entered the house and got the drop on Miller, but he re- fused to surrender and started for his shotgun. Not wanting to shoot him down, Beller placed his pistol in his belt and grappled with the man, who is about six feet tall and weighs 19o pounds. Scruggs assist cd the officer. and for about fifteen minutes the trio was mixed up in a desperate rough and tumble battle. Miller was finally overpowered, but it was necessary, besides using hand cuffs, to tie his legs and strap his body to a seat in a vehicle. Beller and Scruggs were badly used up in the scrimmage, besides their cloth- ing was torn into shreds.

At first glance it may seem strange that we had to adopt the very means of con- quering these people that we con demned so vigorously when Weyler used them in '97 and '9S. And yet
 they were managed in a way that made them the most humane as well as the quickest way to end matters ,

SHAKING OFF ITS LETHARGY.
The Ancient City of Bruges Taking on
 Modern Manners.

Something there is very touching in the faith which inspires the Bru- geois in the future of their ancient city. For centuries it has lain, as it were, under some terrible ban, while all the time its silent mansions with their rich, fantastic architec- ture, its deserted streets, its idle quays and its untroubled waters have told of glory that is past. At last the spell has broken, says the Man. chester Guardian. It is to be "Bru- ges in morte" no longer, but Bruges very much awake. Given revival of the old conditions, the fortunes of Bruges, once the mart of Europe, may be repaired. The new spirit first made itself manifest in an effort to revive local arts and industries. and the result has been so far good.
 This is not all It is not forgotten that at the zenith of its greatness Bruges was great seaport. Largely through neglect the channel was al- lowed to silt up, and, of course, the sea retreated, and civil discords com- pleted the mischief which ended in the ruin of Bruges. As the result of the new movement that has swcnt over the life of the province the prof. ect was conceived and begun of re- storing communication with the sea. This is no inconsiderable undertake lng-a ship canal some six or seven miles long.
 The outlet at Heyst is intended as port of call for fast ocean ships thus relieving Antwerp of some of It's crowded traffic, while Bruges it. self IS to become a great center of distribution over the railway system of Europe, with which the city ia connected. The sands at the outlet were considered to be less shifty than usual on this part of the coast, nev- ertheless they have been a source of much trouble; and other obstacles that were never looked for have been met with. Croakers there are who predict nothing but failure for the whole business, but, despite these and all other discouragements. the work IS being pressed forward with admirable energy, and next year, or certainly the year after, will see the canal open for traffic. The expense IS being borne by the state, aided by local funds.
