6 TWO FAMOUS HUNTERS. Ih “Two J<w" and TJieir Queer Sum mer Occupation. from the Philadelphia Times. Pittston, I’a., June 12.—That variety 5(8 the spice of life seems to he a truism pe culiarly emphasized by voluntary vo cation of two men 1 bn' ' here. Both are men of fair educst- I l aveoceu. pied positions of trio 1 • -mess cir cles. impelled, perils i a restless tooling of adventure, u ' mctically re tire from the world dining tho warm weather and occupy a hut up in the liiouulains, some five miles east of here, anti devote their time to hmitiug honey bees and rattlesnakes. They are well known to nearly every person in I’ittstnn, and the various taverns in the town have echoed their wonderful exploits. The eldest of these hunters is Joseph Schooley. at one time one of the most prominent men of Luzerne county. Many years ago he established wliat has long been known as Schooley’s brickyard and in later years, after having made a reasonable 101-tune, he began coal operations, but not with any great success. Business re verses followed him fast a few years since, and lie apparently has no oc cupation other than hunting on the moun tains. His companion is Joseph Bowkley, a member of the famous family ol coal operators. His lather opened the first mine at Pittston Kerry, as this borough was originally known, and made for him self a considerable income ami left a namesake tn the town of Port Bowkley. One sou is now a highly respected and prosperous citizen of this place, who is apendiug the summer in a Colorado cattle j ranch, which is owned by himself and j anotherPittstonian. Joseph was formely , the active manager of both his father’s i and brother’s interests and now enjoys a sufficient income to enable him to spend ; his tune as he sees fit. THE TWO .TOES. The two companions are distinguished as "Uncle Joe" ml “Joe."’ I found them sitting in front of an inn the other even ing. They had come into town on one of their irregular incursions to get the news and necessary provisions. Botli were ns brown as berries and their appearance gave but little indication of entertaining gjonversational powers, yet such they both possessed to an unusual degree. I in ouired what in the name of common sense they could find attractive in a rtittle- Bnake. ‘•’"The excitement of the chase and the commercial value ol s."> per snake,” was the response. "There is an active demand Tor them all the time, principally atzoolog ical gardens and museums, and occasion ally a saloon-keeper will buy one to show to his patrons the effects of drinking an ti Ac r saioou-keeper’s whisky.” “Can you find enough snakes to make it profitable?” “Well, that depends on wbat you con sider profitable,” answered Joe. “In ’7* my brother and 1 found two dens and wo caught one hundred and eighty. We sold eighty of them around here and then we started lor the Paris I",xposition with the bulutice of them. When we got to Liver pool I sold thirteen to a saloon-keeper for £22. On our way to London we collided with another train, kv brother was laid up for three weeks, but 1 got out with the snakes all right. The railroad company didn’t wait for us to bring suit, but gave us £BO for damages to my brother. The snakes sold for a good deal more than expenses, although we hail a pretty lively time over there for over Wiur months. II 1 have my health f shall go over there again next priug am’exhibit them. There’s a for tune ip the business for a man with a handl’d of rattlesnakes. RATTLKKS (JETTING SCARCE. “But rattlesnakes are getting mighty scares," said Uncle Joe. "Everybody who sees one kills it, if he can, and taking them with what we catch leaves hut few in the mountains ot Luzerne county. There’s no use in killing them, that I can see. They won’t hurt anybody, if let alone. You might walk witlitn two feet ol ee and he couldn’t hurt you if he wanted To. All this talk about their jumping through the air at you is ail nonsense; a Sdiake, to strike, must tie colled up and 3Dunt have Ins tail on the ground. The re- Jttilt is that he can’t strike a distance greater than about one-halt his length. 1 have seen thousands ol them strike and never aw one strike auy different from any other. Another thing is that he always springs his rattle when he is about to twrike. If the snake sees you coming he Will run for his den, but he won’t make any noise about it. If he doesn't see you till you are right over him he will flatten right out and try to escape notice, unless be thinks you are going to attack him. ,iind then he will coll and strike. It is when he flattens out that he can be caught by quietly tiut quickly placing the flat end of a stick or cane on the back of his neek. This has to tie done carefully and skillfully. If you press down too hard you will break his neck, as that is his weak point. 11 not hard enough lie may be able to bite you. After securing him with the stick, you niUHt catch him with your left hand just back of the head, and then with u pair of short scissors cut out his tangs. There are two on each side of the upper jaw, and they are hinged bo as to lie along the root ot the mouth when it is closed. They drop down and are ready for business when the mouth is open. It f ■* certain death to touch tin* point of one < these fangs while cutting them out. 1 " > are utmost as sharp as a cambric needle, and still they are hollow and through a hole tn the tooth comes the poison. Once get the fangs out and they can bite with their saw teeth, but with no more harm than any ordinary snake. Take away their fangs and they become very much suiaiued and will submit to al most any kind of handling. Sometimes I leave the fangs in for a doctor who wants to experiment with tiie poison.” “How about their committing suicide when they are getting the worst ol u tight?” KKFI GK IN Til KIK MoTHRK’B THROAT. “1 giiea* they only do that in tialurtil liiHtorics. 1 linve never known any to do *o. 1 toll you what is a fact. though, aud I’ve Men them do it oft* n. That is for the little ones to run down the mother's throat for protection. I’ve cut luauv u one out that crawled in, just ns 1 have many a one before birth. You know tlie rattlesnake Is the only reptile that doesn't lav eggs, but give* birth tn Its young. They come in litter* ol from live to dozen and 1 have heard of as ninny as eighteen. What do they teed on? Mostly in I tic and birds and not very many >f them. They generally come out of their tlens In the spring and feed anti sun themselves until along Iu August.

They keep prettv close to their dens din ing this time, ill though they will go away lor a mile or two when they are out foraging.

Front the A 'sir York K','W,7. In tile village of Medford. N". J., on the Amboy division of the Pennsylvania Rail road, Elan Alonzo Lea, or “Old Lea.” as he was called, was a well-known charac" ter. a bout) 20years ago. He was then more than 60 years old. and wandered around the village tuning pianos and doing other odd jobs. He was missed from the village er.e day, and was never heard from again until a few days ago, when he was found iu an old shanty about an hour’s drive from the village. Here he has lived the life of a hermit for sixteen years, sub sisting on fruits and vegetables which he raises. His cottage is In the midst of a forest and is almost bidden from view by the trees. The house is circular and about is teet in diameter. It is hut one story high and the sides are hidden by moss, grapevines and other creeping plants. There are four rooms in the le-uso, one of which is used as a living apartment, an other as a workshop, and thu others as storerooms. Tn the living room is a set tee, on which is spread a narrow- straw mattress, and this the hermit utilizes as a bed. Mr. Lea is now To years old, and his clean-shaven face is deeply furrowed, and Ids hair is iron-gray and not very long. Mis clothing is ragged but clean, and his conversation indicates that he is edu cated. When asked why he had deter mined to adopt his present mode of life be sa id: “About 20 years ago 1 had enough money in the Franklin Saving Fund, in Philadelphia, to maintain me for the rest of my life. Tlie institution failed and 1 lost every penny. My wife died about the same time. I became despondent amt tired of the world and resolved to lead a hermit's life. 1 selected this site because of its mossy surroundings. The land upon which the house stands was then under water, which 1 drained off. I planted fruits and vegetables. and have lived here ever since. My daughter, the only one of my children now alive, assisted me fre quently at first, hut she couldn’t stand the loneliness ot the place and 1 haven’t seen her for several years. "I call my house Moss Cottage. For a time I could hardly content myseli to live here all alone, but gradually this feeling died away, and now 1 am comparatively happy, lama cabinet maker, and have all my tools, so that when 1 am not at tending to my garden I amuse myself with my tools. I have made three violins since I have been here, and one ot these w as stolen from me by tramps. At night 1 light niv little brass lump ami read iny en cyclopa-ditt,” which the old man then pro duced. “Then,” be ndded, "I play my violin fur a few hours each night before going to sleep, and iu ibis manner live contentedly. My only fear is that, when the end comes, I will be ulone and un cared for.” Before the reporter left, the old man ac companied him through his garden, point ing nut the grapevines, corn, tomatoes and strawberries with an evident pride. UNITED STATES MARINES. How Member* of the Corps Once Ber formed Service on Austrian Soil. Corretiianilenite Philadelphia Times. The post of usefulness and honor re cently occupied by the United Mates ma rines on the isthmus of Panama, dwelt upon tiy Admiral Jouett in a letter to Col. Hey wood, reminds ine how, twenty six years ago. United States marines, in their military capacity,had an opportu nity, on the soil ol an ancient monarchy of Europe, to represent the United States of America. The United States frigate Wabash was in the port ot Trieste, on ihe Adriatic, Austria, towards the end ol Juue and part of July in 1859. She had, besides 40 officers and a company of marines, 600 seamen on board. One hundred of the seamen received, when their turn came, permission to go and remain on land. Eighty thousand dollars in gold had beeu distributed among the crew as arrears ot wages On tho first 100 going on land a great many of tlu-ni got drunk and almost wiped out a tavern which they frequented. In the morning at 2 I was, as United states Consul, culled up to attend to their cases. I found about a dozen in prison. When they had sobered up I infornietUUcm that 1 could obtain thoir liberty upon the con dition that they would immediately re turn to the vessel. About half of them, natives ol the United States, Insisted upon H'aniitng their contingent sentence amt asked mu not to interfere in their behalf. I linallv discovered the reason of this demand. They knew that a compliance with my demand would oblige the local authorities to send the seamen back to thu Wabash under an Austrian military escort, a distance, including land, of per haps two English miles, the Wabash be iog anchored far in yoiul the bar. I tliere tore asked the imperial Maritime Govern ment for permission to land a squad ot United States marina* to conduct on Aus trian soil American seamen to their ves sel.

How the Foreigner* Learn Mow to Hlutt at Holier. From the Cincinnati Commercial (Taeette. It is wonderful what a fascination the great American game of poker has tor the foreigner. The chief and about the only business of the American secretaries of the foreign diplomatic delegations at Washington is 1° teach teach them poker and play with them. Turks, Franks, Spaniards. Indians, Ethi opians, Hutch, Italians,Muscovites, Mon golians, all yield to the fascinations oi the American game, and the poker-play ing among the foreign legations Is high ami fast and furious. They are made to pay pretty dearly tor their experience, and some of the smart American uflicials pluck the gentle foreigners most unmerci fully. The head of a government bureau showed mo a big roll of bills the other night, and said: "There's S3OO I win to night lrorn ‘So-and-so.’ ” naming a moon faced Mongolian Minister, who goes about the streets in flowing robes of peacock blue and royal purple. 1 may say here that it is proper in poker talk to say: “I win,” instead ot "I won,” and when you cease playing you "draw out.” The terrible thing about this soul-destroying game for the unso phisticated foreigners is the "bluff.” Baron de Struve, who. like all others, is a tiroless devotee of the game, went on for some months in happy ignorance of the bluft", and supposing himselt to be a pretty expert poker-player. But one even ing, in a game with a mischievous young cabinet officer, he went his whole heart, soul and pocket on three aces, and was bluffed by his opponent with a pair of trays. It wai anew development ol the great American game, and its sublime possibilities dazed and bewildered the Baron, and as he expressed tt In good “United States” language “broke him all up.” He said: “Oh, tli s fearful, fearful Ameri can game and dot terrible lilufl. 1 did not know dot bluff and what I do with it.” The Baron concentrated all his time and intellect upon the “bluff” for several days, and then tried it on his wife. He and the raadatne have a little private game, and keep a very strict account. The wicked llaron bluffed the unsuspecting partner of his bosom uiimercilullv, and there was a little coolness in the I>o Struve family for half an hour, the first in many years ot happy married life. l’oker playing is the rage in all circles in Washington, high and low. There arev ■cores of poker players among the at taches of the government. in the rooms of the clerks and in the hundreds of lodg ing houses the game goes on. One game at Obainberlain’s, last week. In which were two United States Senators, lasted 2ti hours without ceasing. A pnrty of Southerners, not long ago, in a rear room oi the National Hotel, played a game last ing from Kridav evening at flo’clock until Monday morning at (> o’clock. I hiring that time the gulne never ceased, catnaps were caught in the chairs as the players sat, luncheon was served regularly, and the amount of whisky drank and tobacco smoked and chewed to keep awake on was something awful to contemplate. A I’ARALYKED UAH BEK. tie Tries to Cat a Farmer's Ilair aud Finds Ho Wears a Wig. There’s anew barber in a Sniithlield street shop, savs the Pittsburg Dispatch, who is said to blush every time a customer comes in with a head of hair ot over a week’s growth. The cause of his trouble is tips: A well-known Moon township farmbr came in Saturday, and, mounting the chair, lay back for a shave. “Hair’s getting rather thiuon top,"’ ven tured the barber, as he lathered his vic tim's chin. “Yes,” responded the gentleman, seri ously. “We’ve got the dandy tonic here," ventured tho barber when about half through. “Good, is it?” said the man in the chair, alfablv. "Why, it’ll grow hair on an egg,” re sponded tlie barber, as he paused to pat the top of his customer’s bead. “Now. vou’re getting quite bald up here, an’ I’ll bet in a month it’ll grow as thick there as anvw'here.” Here followed a pause, during which the suave was finished, and, as he dried the larmer's face, he inquired: “Try a little oi the tonic to-day, sir? it’s the daisy restorer.” “No; guess not,” was the reply. “Say. your hair is getting pretty long, ain’t it? Or was you going to have it cut?” “Ob, 1 guess it isn’t too long.” “i’letty long. Don’t nobody wear their hair that long nowadays.” “Well, I guess i’ll let it go this time.” “Have a shampoo?” “ No.” "Try some of this sea-foam? It’s the boss tiling for this Pittsburg dirt.” “No; and now I’ll tell vnu nothin’, voting man. After this don’t bother a mail with a wig about cutting his hair and tollies and shampoos, it might em barrass him, see?” and the gentleman lifted the coverings to his cranium off, showing n head with less hair on it than a roll of country butter. It paralyzed the barber so that the bald-headed man hint to put his wig oil his kuee nod comb it himself. A HURT HERON HELPER. The Wound of a Big Hlrd Dressed by a ■Skill In I Surgeon, Tho Portsmouth (N. II.) Tunes tells as follows the story of a wounded bird: “A gentleman of this city was rowing dowu through the narrows in a boat, one even ing about two weeks ago, when his atten tion was attracted to a pair of night herons which were standing upon a large rock near the water’s edge. The dis charge of a gun by a man concealed In the bushes on the river's bank was heard, and the birds took to their wings, uttering erlesof distress as thov Dew. Whoa nearly an eighth <d a mile off, one of them was seen to falter, and it soon felt into the river. “As his limit drew near, the gentleman pcreelved that the bird was wounded and j was swimming confidently toward him, as though claiming protection and help. He extended one of Ills oars and tlie bird seized it with ms shai pidawsand suffered itsell to be lifted out ot the water. Upon examination the gentlcumii found that the bird’s right wing was broken and Unit iraetured bones were protruding. A linen handkerchief furnished bandages for the bleeding wing, and upon arriving at New i untie the wound was properly dressed by a surgeon, who admired the fortitude of his leathered patient during the painful operation. “Portions of the Imuhi had to be removed, but the doctor thought it possible for tin* bird to live with careful nursing. Our lriend brought the bird to this city and under careful treatment it soon regained its wonted health and strength and was pronounced a ‘perfect beauty’ by many ladies who called to see It. The wound healeil rapidly and the heron was al lowed to go In quest of its mate ns soon as it could fly.” Peeullnr Bnuptv, A queer old gentleman In Washington lias a bobby for keeping up a homo for elderly and debilitated eats, tin lias a house lull of them, lie is n victim o| dyspepsia, which lias to a certain extent unsettled nis mind, and made him odd.
