From the Cleveland Sun.
When one reads of the great number of
people who come to their deaths each
year in India from serpents ami wild ani
mals and crocodiles the figures can
hardly be credited by one who has not
visited that country. India is the para
dise of ail that is savage, revengeful, ven
omous and sly, beginning with the thug
and endißg wittt the flea. The climate and
topography of the country favor the wild
beast more than man. It is the natural
home of every speoies of reptile—of many
species of carnivora—of almost every
poisonous insect which can be named. The
offer of large rewards for the killing of
poisonous serpents has taken tens of
thousands of dollars Iroin the coffers of
the governm nt without decreasing the
number of deaths by one. The tiger,
leopard, jaguar, panther, and other tierce
creatures nave been thinned off by the
natural settliug of the various provinces,
but one has only to go a few miles from
the railroad lines to find them to-day as
they were found twenty years ago. It
will iorever be a combat between man and
beast in that country, with the odds in fa
vor of the beast.
in making my way from Puujaub to La
hore, in the days before the railroad, hav
ing tue company of two American sports
men and a British officer, 1 was bitten on
tbe cheek by some poisonous insect,
which dashed at me as we were riding in
the shade. It struck like a flash, and was
off before Icoula raise niy hand. Being
uew to the country i supposed it to be
some insect common to the woods, but it
was scarcely three minutes before 1 be
gan to suffer great pain, and in live I had
to dismouut. The natives were agreed
that the bite came from a jungle hornet,
and that I would be a sufferer for some
days. Fortunately for me we were close
to the outskirts of a villago called 11 ala
rad, and when 1 could no longer stand on
my feet, which was about seven minutes
alter being bitten, I was carried into tbe
village and a native doctor set to work on
me. Iv> as then raging with pain, and
my face was swelled uutil 1 could not see.
It was lour days be ford the pain left me,
and ten before I recovered sufficient
strength to ride. In this Interval oc
curred the adventure I set out to relate.
On tbe fifth or sixth day alter my mis
fortune a hammock was slung lor me out
doors under a tree, and a native sat at its
roots to administer to my wants. He held
the end of my hammock-cord in hi3 hand,
and once in a while gave it a pull anti
kept me slowly swinging. The village
was a scattering one, containing about
20b natives, and from my elevated posi
tion I had a pretty good view around me.
There was a jungle about forty rods
away, while the ground between was cov
ered witu rank grass and weeds knee
high. In front of the hut. to the left of
my tree, sat a young woman who was
making some repairs on a garment be
longing to her father. On tnis morning
most or the weu m the village had gone
off on a hunt, and everything was as quiet
as a Sunday morning in a New England
hamlet.
The balmy air and tbe motion of the
hammock would have induced sleep had 1
not slept thirteen hours out o! the pre
ceding twauty-lour. t was quiet, but
wakeful. In the course ot hall an hour
the hummock ceased to move, and 1 saw
tnat the servant below was fast asleep.
Almost at the same moment I caught a
flash of something at the edge of the jun
gle, and then I noticed a movement ol tha
grass. I was sportsman enough to com
prehend that some animal or repliie was
moving toward me, hut I had no enthu
siasm—not even common curiosity. 1
traced the progress of the unknown crea
ture by tbe motion of the grass, but did
not speculate as to what it was. The
country Is overrun with hares, field rais,
and other small and harmless annuals,
and the fact that something was moving
in the grass would not have been consid
ered by tbe natives as worth investigat
ing. I was looking at the ground, but
thinking of matteis iu America, wuen I
suddenly caught sight of the head of a
monstrous serpent raised above the grass.
The head was held pretty steady lor a few
minutes, and then moved slowly from
right to left and back like the pendulum
or a clock. At this time the reptile was
about 100 feet away, and right at the edge
of the tail grass. Between me and him
the ground was bare, tbe grass having
been killed out by the feet of th villag
ers.
I suppose that there was still sufficient
poison in my system to deaden inv sensi
bilities to a certain extent. 1 Had no fears
lor the woman seated with her work be
low me. This complacency on my part
Is to be accounted mr, as I said, on the
ground that my nervous svstem had been
doadened and not yet recovered its activi
ty. The serpeut presently crawled into
view, and 1 saw it was a cobra of enorm
ous size. As soon as the snake was clear
of the grass he raised his head for a oioser
survey. The woman and the man were
about the same distance from him, each
being the side ot a triangle. As I saw
him hesitating about a choice 1 calmly
reasoned that he would come my way.
He had two victims under a tree aiid only
one the other way. lie was a long min
ute making up his mind, and then he
oarne creeping toward tne tree, bead well
up, eyes glazing and tongue darting iu
and out.
It may be that the serpent saw the
sleeping man, but if so he had deter
mined on attacking me alone, perhaps be
cause 1 was higher up and offered aim a
better show.’. When I realized that he
was certainly coining my way I felt a
tingle of excitement all through my
nerves, and at once shouted to the sleep
ing serv ant. Me oust oil' sleep and sprang
up and 1 suppose this action saved tne,
for the eobia had already raised its head
as high as the hammock. As the native
sprang up ho could have touohed the
snake. lie saw it before him, uttered a
Bhriok of terror, and the next instant
was a victim. 1 saw the snake strike him
repeatedly in the face. 1 think the poor
fellow lost consciousness with the first
atiack, lor the one scream was all he
uttered.
The alarm seemed to go all over the
village in a moment, and the people at
once hastened up with drums, articles of
tinware and whatever would create a din.
They also shouted at the top of their
voices, and tor a minute or two the cobra
seemed undecided whether to attack me
or beat a hasty retreat. I was sick and
dizzy with the terror and the odor, and
made no move to help myself. That was
doubtless the wisest policy. 1 could only
have emptied myself out of the hammock
upon the ground beside him, and lie
would certainly have resented my pres
ence. Twice he reared up as if he meant
to strike me, but the noise alarmed biin.
A young man finally came running up
with a blazing torch, and this was
| hurled with such precision as to alight
1 directly upon one of the cobra’s folds.

j rite Ecnian Chief Writes a Sensa
tional Irish Drama.
From tfi6 JT&w York Morning Journal.
A report that O’Donovan Kossa was
about to make his debut ae an actor
! spread like wildfire through New York
and Brooklyn yesterday. At the markets,
1 on the cars, in barrooms, iu the streets
I and elsewhere every one was talkiug
\ about it,
j “He’s goiti’to be an aotor, is he?” said
j one old gentleman to another on a Third
avenue car yesterday morning.
“Well, I don’t know but he have as
much l ight to go out on the stage as any
one else. I’d be willing to bet that he’d
do a great deal better nor a good many of
the English dudes they’ve been importing
over here lately.”
“Will there be any dynamite la the
play, do you think?”
“Dynamite 1 Do you think, bad luck
to ye, thathe lives on dynamite. Any one
to hear you would suppose that the man
goes around with a can of it in his pocket
the whole blessed time.”
“No, I don’t say that. I know very
well, though, that il be wanted a couple
barrels of it he’d come very near know
ing where to go and look for it.”
Three or four prominent lonian* when
ashed about the rumor would not deny
that there was something in it, but any
further than that were extremely reticent.
Said one:
“Now. you needn’t go parading my name
in the paper, but what i tell you you can
go and take your affidavit to on a stack of
Bibles as higo as the Bartholdi statue.
O'Donovan Rossa’s written an Irish
drama, ami it’s a corker.”
“The scenes are laid in Cork, then?”
suggested the reporter.
“Cork nothing! The scenes are laid iu
Ireland. It will be a oig go, too.”
“Is he to play In it himsell?”
“Certainly, man alive! Y'ou don’t sup
pose !t would be auy good with O’Dono
van Russa lelt out, do you? Sure you
might as well try to play ’Hamlet’ with
Hamlet cut away from it altogether.”
“What sort of a play is It?”
“It’s a play about Ireland and a play
the American people never saw tha likes
of. Whenitis produoed—and produced
it will be—it will raise a commotion, I’ll
tell you.”
“What is it like?”
“Il ain’t like anything. It’s original
from one end to tbe otner, and it will
open the eyes of the people of this coun
try to what is going on in unhappy Ire
land under English misrule.”
“Are any prominent Fenians other than
O’Donovan Rossa to take part?”
“Oh, yes! It will be as realistic as we
can make it. Quite a number of very
prominent men among our people have
been cast.”
“Many ladies in the cast?”
“Yes, indeed! and you would be sur
prised lo know the names of a few of
tnem. They represent the best, wealthi
est and most influential Irish families in
this city, Brooklyn and Jersey City.”
“Will you kiudly give me a few of their
names?”
“On, ho! What a fool I’d be. Sure it
would be worth me life to do it. Man
alive, they’d be down here like a swarm
of bees, and I’d never hear the last of itl
Way don’t you go down and see himself
about it? He’s a good fellow. He’ll tell
you everything you want to know. But,
whisper, don’t tell him that I sent you.
Good day.”
The reporter called on O’Donovan
Rossa, who greeted him kindly, and was
surprised when apprised of the object of
his visit.
“Now, how did you learn of this?” he
said, with a half smile. “Tell me how
you heard of it, and I’ll tell you what
there is in it.”
“ltis common rumor and the people
are discussing it everywhere.”
“Well, i’ll tell you. 1 am busy fixing
up an Irish play, suen as the American
people have never witnessed, i have not
decided on a title as yet, but it will be a
good one, I have no doubt.”
“Y'ou are to assume the principal char
acter yourself, are you not?”
“ Well, no. 1 did think something of doing
so,but some of my coadjutors have an idea
that I would be lowering myself to do so.
1 see no difference in my occupying tbe
central figure in a drama depicting Irish
life than going on the platform or editing
tue United Irishman. Do you?”
“You have not given up the idea of
playing, then; you have not wholly de
cided not to do It?”
“No, no; 1 can’t say that 1 have, ami 1
won’t say that I have not. Here, i’ll give
you a bit of a note that will settle the
whole business.”
Seizing a pencil and a scrap of paper he
wrote the following, which he handed to
the reporter:
The drama is being prepared. It de
picts Irish life—landlordism, evictions,
U iuls, jury-packing—all phases of Irish
life. It would bo Immediately finished
and put on the stage only that one or two
characters in the drama refuse to act in
person the parts they acted in Irish life.
O’Donovan Rossa.
“There, take that and my blessing witn
it,” said Mr Rossa smiling. “I think it
possible that the one or two persons re
ferred to may be induced to withdraw
their objections alter awhile, and the play
wul be brought out.
An uptown manager stated that he
stands ready to give O’Donovan Rossa a
year’s engagement, for his plav and ser
vices, and will bind himself to “star”
him and pay him SSOO per week.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1887.
A BLOODY DOG PIGIII.
The Victorious Beasts Licks the
Flanks of His Dying Victim.
From the Chicago Fews.
No sooner were the two beasts released
by their trainers than they sprang at each
other’s throats w ith deep roars of rage.
The white dog first secured a shoulder
hold on his antagonist. He proved the
more skillful wrestler of the two, and be
sides securing a hold for his teeth he
speedily threw the yellow dog on his
back. There he shifted his hold and got
his enemy bv the neck. For the first ten
minutes of the fight the backers of the
white dog were jubilaut and confident of
winning. The white gladiator, however,
showed a fondness for snapping rather
than maintaining a good hold, and the
pain began to arouse the stubborn fierce
ness of the yellow bull.
After fifteen minutes of sharp fighting,
during which the white dog had all the
best of it, the yellow dog began his first
effective lighting by catching the white
dog by the side of the head. He hung to
nis hold for nearly ten minutes From
this on the yellow dog slowly began to
master the white. The two brutes
clawed and chowed ateach other until tbe
white dog was covered with blood about
the head and shoulders. Throw him as
he might the white dog could never get
the yellow brute to release his terrible
holds, while the yellow dog was unable to
get his teelh sunk deep enough in a vital
part of his adversary to kilt him. At tne
end of forty.five minutes of fighting the
yellow dog had the white dog so weak
that it became only a question of time
when be would kill" him.
“Take out tbe dog,” chorused the better
element among the cook-lighters. “That’s
too tough for us. The while dog is only
getting chewed up.”
“Let ’em light it out,” shouted the dog
fighter; “adog’s never licked till he gives
up.”
Then followed a scene which for cold
blooded brutality lias seldom been
equaled. Tne white dog grew so w**ak
that he could scarcely stand, while the
short-muzzled yellow dog kept fiercely
tearing away at It is throat and head. The
head and fore legs of the while dog be
came a mass of clotted blood Tbe yel
low dog also became exhausted. He
would secure a neck-hold on his antago
nist,and then for ten minutes at a time tile
two brutes would stand motionless in the
pit, the yellow grimly holding on, while
the white stood with his mouth wide
open, from which protruded his iuflamed
and bloody tongue. At times he would
rally and wrench himself loose from the
yellow, only to have the latter’s fangs siuk
iuto hl flesh ltt another spot.
At last, after two hours of fighting, the
white dog fell exhausted in one corner of
the pit. If the hearts of the dog-fighters
did not relent, that of the victorious dog
did. As he saw bis fierce antagonist ly
ing helpless iu the pit he laid down beside
hint, wagued his stumpy tail,and licked tbe
flanks of his victim. All the spectators
were ustonished The oldest dog-fighter
present said he had never seen a dog act
that way before. In spite of all coaxing
he refused to again attack tue white dog.
Aocording to the rules the dogs were then
taken to their respective corners. When
time was called the white dog was too ex
hausted to move, and when the yellow dog
dashed across tbe pit ready to tight again
the stakes were awarded to bis backer.
The time of the tight was 2 hours and 28
minutes. The vanquished dog was shot
and put out of his misery.
