A few days ago hearse arrived from
Rochester, New York, consigned to East
erday & Morgan, OF this city. The hearse
was transported from the shop in Roches-
ter without change of cars from the flat
on which it was originally placed Before
shipment the manufacturers placed 4 large
box over it to protect it from the weather.
The box rested on the axles, inside the
wheels, being long enough to extend from
the rear over the dashboard in front. Ow-
ing to the construction of the drivers seat
on the hearse, the corners of the box ex-
tended fur enough to allow room for the
body of a man to pass between the box at
that point and the hearse. The front and
rear of the vehicle is so constructed as to
SWING open, and thereby hangs the tale.
This was noticed by some one who silently
contemplated how easy it would be to save
lew cents and see the country where
Strawberries grow as large as hens eggs
all the year round, and then pounced off
to lay in stock of provisions. These he
procured, and poked them through the
cavity between the hearse and the box,
after which he followed Once within the

journey; but his amiable weakness seems
to have been in lining the glass walls OF
his sanctum with tobacco juice. A highly
colored, short-stemmed pipe, found in the
corner, gave proof that it was not allowed
to rust with inactivity, and told how yaca-

For several days past there has been
an interesting exhibition of SNAKES by
Court Turne, at Schickling's beer saloon,
over the Rhine. We should not mention
the unpleasant subject were it not to
give the facts of a dreadful struggle
which occurred there Thursday night,
terminating yesterday in a tragedy. 1t
has been the custom of the exhibitor to
throw into the snakes boxes an Occa-
sional live mouse or rat or squirrel to
serve at once the purpose of fodder and
the means of diverting spectators by
showing how long it takes for an animal
to die after having felt the poisonous
fangs of a snake. Thursday night a
squirrel was thrown in with an ugly
looking old rattlesnake, and the bystand-
ers waited to see how soon the little dem
izeR of the forest would curl up and die.
But it was not that kind of a squirrel.
It's first move was to spring nimbly on
the tail of the snake and bite off one or
two Of the rattles, probably under the
mistake that they were hazel-nuts. This
aroused the sleeping ire of his snakeship,
who Immediately began to show fight in
his own peculiar venOmous style. He
had already given the squirrel one small
bite with his fangs, when the bushy
tailed combatant made another nimble
spring, and seized his antagonist by the
neck with his sharp teeth, and shook
him as jackasses have been known to
shake lionesses. The snake threw up the
sponge and lay down to die. Mean
while the victorious squirrel was taken
from the cage and banqueted on nuts
and almouds. He has not yet shown
any serious effects of the bite, but the
rattlesnake yielded up the ghost yester.
day morning, and his stuffed skin will
be preserved as trophy of the struggle.
The squirrel will be given perch in the
stall of the heroic donkey at the Zoolog-
ical Garden.-C Cincinnati Gazette.
