Trains NoFaaI Again.

Passenger train schedules seem to have almost recovered from the solar plexus blow given them by the recent blizzard. and trains coming into Mont- gomery run with little more regular ity.
 The Southern Railway still seems to have an aversion to getting its trains anything like on time and the Western trains keep up the late habit.
 Yesterday morning both the Louis- vile and Nashville and Western, trains came to Montgomery on time, but the Western train due at s:20 o'clock last night was four hours late. The Louisville and Nashville ran two sec- tions of No 2. to New orleans, the first leaving on time at 9:35 p. m. and the second on the arrival of the Southern Railway connection at 1880 o'clock this morning.

Snake IN oId swImmIna HoIe.

A big snake has taken up its abode
in White Creek, branch Of the Clyde
river, seven miles east of this village.
Mrs. Heber Munson was driving in
that vicinity recently and saw this
snake lying across the road. its head
hidden in the grass and weeds on one
side, and its tail on the other. Mrs.
Munson stopped her horse, and set up
a scream that caused the snake to
crawl way and drop into the creek.
This snake has been seen at inter-
walls for more than a year, and truthful
eye witnesses declare that it is any
where from ten to fifteen feet long and
big in other respects.
The snake has appropriated a deep
part of the creek which was favorite
swimming hole of the boys living in
that region. But they do not swim
there now. - Clyde correspondence

Uncle Sam Raises Game fowls ana
the Animals Eat Them Up.
The Feredal government and the
State of Louisiana will probably have
to abandon their plan to use Breton
island, on the coast, as a preserve for
the propagation of prairie hens and
other fowls, owing to the immense
numbers of raccoons that have pre-
empted the claim.
Although the island Is a small one,
1t is said by the game wardens that
within it's few square miles there must
be 5000 to 10000 coons.
About $1,000 prairie hens We're
hatched this year, and as soon as they
became of an eatable size they were
devoured by the 'coons. The same has
happened to other varieties Of game
fowl which the government endeav-
ored to propagate on the island.
The Breton islands are some dis
tance from the mainland and difficult
OF access. 1t was for this reason that
they were selected as preserve. But
the 'coons have spoiled all the plans.
A force of trappers and hunters is to
be sent to the island after the 'coons,
but so great is their number that IL is
feared they cannot be exterminated.- -

some light upon the situation of DR..
Manette's London residence that an
artist and writer set forth on the
quest, with the result here chronicled
by pen and pencil.
Here is what Dickens wrote:
"The quiet lodgings of DR.. Manette
were in quiet street corner not far
from Soho Square. A uuainter
coraer than the corner where the doc
tor lived was not to be found in Lon
don. There was no way through 1t,

lodgings commanded a pleasant little
vista Of street that had a congenial
air of retirement on it. The
summer light struck into the corner
brilliantly in the earlier part OF the
day, but when the streets grew hot

raging streets The doctor
occupied two floors of a large, still
house, where several callings purport-
ed to be pursued by day In
a building at the back, attainable by
courtyard, where plane tree rus
tied its green leaves, church organs
claimed to be made and silver to be
chased. and likewise gold to be beaten
by some mysterious giant who had a
golden arm starting out of the wall of
the front hall. . Occasionally a
stray workman putting his coat on
traversed the hall. .-or a stranger peered
about there. or a distant clink was
heard across the courtyard, or a thump
from the golden giant These, how
ever, were only the exceptions re-
quired to prove the rule that the spar

house and the echoes in the corner

into the Identification OF the house
Mr.. Allbut, in his "Rambles in Dick

have expressed the opinion that Car
Isle street, which leads out OF the CEN
ter of the west side of Soho square,
was the street in which Dickens laid
the London lodgings of DIR. Manette,
and that Carlisle house, which term
mates the western end OF Carlisle
street, was the actual house The
street and the house. in fact, answer
all the requirements of the narrative,
as anyone can see for himself by going
there. But neither Mr.. Allbut nor Mr.
ward nor any other searcher OF the
sites Of Dickens Land seems to have
gone into Carlisle house, there, like

himself, to peer about. This, however,
the explorers did, and, by the kindness
OF Mr.. Keeble, whose firm now occu-
pies it as cabinet makers manu-

sight of one of the noblest late seven
