THE OWL AND THE SNAKE.
I The Black Stake a Constrictor—Re
markable Contest Between Bird and
Ophidian.
From the Palatka (Flu.) News.
Many careless observers are not aware
that tho common black snake of the South
is a veritable constrictor, with the peculiar
habits and all the characteristics which at
tach to his monstrous kindred of the African
and Asian wildernesses. In Florida we have
of this class tho king snake, which kills and
swallows tho dreaded rattler, the gopher
snake, which is often 12 feet long, mid the
black snake or racer. All are true con
strictors, swift, strong and bold, and all
practice the manner of killing their prey
peculiar to that family.
But an instance lately observed was out
side our common experience. Hon. A. L.
Barker, of Lochloosa, in this county, a few
days ago saw a largj horned owl strike as if
for prey in a marsh near the road along
which he was riding. As the bird did not
rise immediately Mr. Barker concluded it
had caught something too heavy for it to
raise, and walked over to see. On reaching
tho spot tho owl was seen struggling with ex
tended on the ground nearly dead
Mr. Barker killed him with a blow of bis
whip-stock, and then saw that a black
snake was twisted around his neck and had
already choked the bird nearly to death.
The owl had caught the snake near the
head and pierced it with his great hooked
talons. Evidently the snake had then thrown
the rest of its body around the bird’s neck in
a deadly embrace, and but for Mr. Barker’s
intervention would have quickly killed it.
Ho fierce was the snake that it paid no heed
to the death of its enemy and Mr. Barker
killed both and then carried the two, still
locked together, to his home, where they
wore seen by many.
Two summers ago we observed one of
these small constrictors in an unusual situa
tion. One-half of his body lay extended on
the roof of a packing house, while the other
half dropped through a hole and on tho in
side its bright, eyes watched the antics of
several rats which teased it as monkeys are
said to do its bigger brethren. The snake
swayed slowly back and forth and twisted
its body in graceful curves while the rats
scurried around it on the beams and
gradually drew nearer. Suddenly there
was a quick swii%, the long body
dropped downward till only the tail lav on
the roof—there was a sqeak of agony and the
snake pulled a rat from the rafter, and its
body was swinging back and forth while the
rat bit anil scratched vigorously but vainly.
Gradually fold alter fold was wrapped
round tho rodent—then there was alter
nately a swelling and contraction of the
black belt and the rat gasped and died. For
some minutes the snake lay still as if to be
certain that life was extinct in its prey, and
then began to crawl backwards
through the hole till part of its body again
rested on the roof. Then the head and
throat unwrapped itself from tho body of
the rat, a critical examination was made
and by t.wist alter twist the prey was rolled
back till there was room for action. Then
it caught the head of tiie rat in its mouth
and swallowed it far enough to take a Ann
grasp, after which the rat was released from
tho coils and the suake crept backward,
holding its prey in its jaws and finished tho
meal at its leisure on tho roof.
All constrictors are without venom and
make themselves valuable to the farmer by
waging an unceasing war on the small ani
mals and insects which destroy his crops.
BACK FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Solon Long, of St. Augustine, Returns
to Face His Accusers.
From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald.
Almost the middle of last June an account
apj. vred in the newspapers concerning the
disappearance of Mr. Solon U. Long, who,
it was said, had left St. Augustine with a
large sum of money which ho had collected
as agent for the property of his brother,
lion. John G. Isuig. It was also stated
that be had gone to South America with the
intention of making that country his future
homo. These reports were first brought to
St. Augustine by a man named Joseph
Nelson, who hail accompanied Long to New
York.
Yesterday Mr. Long arrived in this city
on his way to Marion county, where he has
accepted a position. Mr. Long last night
emphatically denied tho accusations against
him. He seemed much hurt by the reports
that had been circulated about him, and
made the following statement:
“The facts are that when I left St. Au
fustine I had but §25 in mv possession, and
can show receipts from tho First National
Bank of Florida where I regularly deposited
the money received on my brother’s ac
count. I was employed by the Jacksonville
and St. Augustine Railroad Company in
tlieir freight warehouse at St. Augustine,
and after houi-s I used to attend to mv
brother’s business during his absence, suyii
as collecting rente, etc.
I lmd long wished to visit South America.
I was tired of my occupation and deter
mined to strike out. I left St. Augustine
and at Savannah met Nelson, with whom I
was acquainted. He told me he was going
to Atlanta, but when I said I was going to
New York he expressed a desire to go too.
lie sold bis Atlanta ticket ton “scalper" and
prepared to accompany me. When we ar
rived at the steamship Nelson found tiiat ho
had not money enough left to purchase a
ticket, and borrowed *5 of me. I then had
but *lO. after paying for my ticket. We
both took steerage passage, which 1 am sure
I would not have done had I been well sup
plied with money.
“When we arrived in New York we
looked about town awhile and Nelson, be
ing without money, said that if 1 would pay
for tho telegram, he would send to his moth
er in St. Augustine for funds. This I
, agreed to do, and like himself l was soon
out of funds. I then pawned my watch and
chain, raising thereby a few dollars, which
I divided with Nelson. He then bade me
good-bye, and I have not seen him since."
“T obtained a berth in a steamer bound
for South Awericu, going out as assistant
stewaul. I intended to leave tho ship when
we arrived there. The fii-st place we landed
was at San Diego, but after a few hours on
shore among villainous looking I’ortugeso
and Italians my dream of life in South
America vanished, and 1 went on board
again, returning to New York."
“I then went to Connecticut and found
employment as brakeman on a railroad.
Being unused to that kind of work i left the
road and obtained other employment.
Meanwhile I found out from friends "in St.
August ine the damaging reports against me
ana knowing them to lie utterly false I of
course felt very badly about it. L left New
York a few day s ago to accept a position in
this State and I wish to let my friends
know that 1 am innocent of the charges
circulated against me.”
OFF TO THE FIRE. ,
A Scene at the House of the Hook and
Ladder Truck.
From the Macon (Qa.) Telegraph.
There was only one gas jet burning and
tho last iiiau to bed lmd turned that down
low that the glare of the light might not
hurt tho eyes of the sleeping lioys. Along
side each couch wore the pants and shoes,
and coat and hat. The engine house would
have been as still as a death chamber but
for the horses. Ike, the roan, slept stand

the bay slept llat on his side, now and then
grunting “like an old woman” one of the
boys once sa:d. Tho flreutau on watch sat
sleepily upon His lilted chair musing and

in for a full share of praise.

A Practical Joke.
From the Milledgeville (Gu ) Chronicle.
Mr. Frank Hhiederman was made the vic
tim of a practical joke a few nights since.
One of his neighbors was absent from the
city, and before leaving left three young
Indies under Mr. Shiederman’s protecting
care. About 9 o’clock the fun-loving dispo
sitions of Iho young ladies got the better of
them, and they determined to give Mr.
Shiederman a good scare. They sot to work
and rigged up a “dunimie” out of obi
clothes and placed it in a threatening atti
tude in one of the unoccupied rooms. They
then feigned fright and ran; calling their
protector, telling him that someone was in
tho house. The gallant Frank seized a
bludgeon and started in pursuit of the
burglarious intruder. The darkness, the
deep oppressive stillness, and the frightened
countenances of tho young ladies produced
a trembling in Mr. Shiederman’s knees
as he searched tho house from eeling to cel
lar. He was almost regaining his normal
condition when he approached the room
containing the “dummy.” The light which
was held by tho trembling hand of one of
the mischievous maidens cast a pale and
uncertain glare into the corners, while the
shadows played at hide and seek about the
room and assumed a thousand grotesque
shapes upon the walls, suggestive of hob
goblins and blue devils innumerable. The
gallant Frank boldly entered the room, but
when he found himself confronting a shape
more horrible than an ogre, and more
threatening than a midnight assassin, he
gave vent to a shriek that would have done
credit to a lost soul on awakening upon the
horroi’s of an endless woe. Ere that de
spairing shriek died away, rapidly falling
footsteps going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, could
have been heard on the street leading west
ward, and those who were up at that hour
thought they saw a red-headed njeteor flying
along close to the ground, making toward
the Central depot. As it went over the
brow of the hill near the mansion it slack
ened its speed fora moment, when a pedes
trian heard it soliloquize in Frank’s well
known voice: “Body, you can stay here if
you want to, but, legs, you must travel.”
The next morning Frank came back into
town with the mint of the swamp on him.
The boys don’t dare to mention it to him,
however.
The Chateau of Chantilly.
From Harper's Magazine.
On Oct. 25, 188(1, MM. Bocher, Denorrtian
die and llousse, acting all three in tho name
of Mgr. Henri Eugene Phillippe d’Orleans,
General of Division, member of the Insti
tute, Grand Cross of the legion of Honor,
accomplished, in the presence of Notary
Fontana, the due legal formalities connected
with the handing over to the Institute of
France of the gift made to it by their prin
cipal, then in exile. This gift consists of
the domain of Chantilly, comprising woods,
forests and water-courses covering
an area of upward of 22,040
acres: guard-houses and other buildings;
tin chateaux of Enghien, Saint-Fir
min, and La Reine Blanche; the Corel;
stable; the chateau of Chantilly, with its
library and other artistic and historical
collections; its furniture, statues, and
trophies of arms; its archives, its fountains,
its gardens, its chapel. The chateau of Chan
tilly is to be preserved exactly as it stands
at present, to lie called hereafter the Conde
Museum, to be opened to the public at
stated times of the year, and at all times to
students, artists and men of letters. The ap
proximate value of the gift may be esti
mated as follows: The land, 2t,000,000f.;
tho buildings. I0,000,000f.: the objects of art
and other collections, 15,000,000!’. Finally,
when all the mortgages and legacies
and other servitudes have been
paid, it may lie calculated that the clear
revenue which the Institute of France will
derive from the domain will umount to
350,000 francs a year at least. This sum
will lie devoted to keeping the estate, the
chateau, and the collections in good order;
to purchasing objects of art of all kinds,
and ancient or modern books, chosen with
a view to enriching or completing the eol
leotions;to tho creation of pensions and in
nuities for indigent literary men, artists or
savants, ami to tho foundation of prizos for
the encouragement of thoso who devote
themselves to the career of art, science or
literature. Such is an outline of tho nature
of the Due d’ Aumalo’s gift to the Institute
of France—-a gift, however, of which the
donor reserves the usufruct during his own
lifetime.
The Conde Museum, as the Due d’Aumale
has conceived and realized it, is a museum
of all the great manifestations of French
art, and at the same timo a commemorative
museum of the families of Montmorency
and Comic, which played of old such*a bril
liant role in tho history of France.
Torturing Prisoners in Japan.
1- Yum ihe Manchester Union.
The stone torture was usually the first
cruelty practiced upon a prisoner. He was
forced to prostrate himself, face downward,
upon the apexes of five triangular-shaped
blocks of hard wood, the front of his legs
being exposed to the sharp edges. While
securely held in this position heavy stones
were placed on the victim’s thighs, and
others were slowly added, to increase the
terrible weight, until he became unconscious
or signified his intention to confess.
The Ikix torture was a still more atrocious
contrivance. Bound hand and foot, tho
culprit was forced into a strong box about
two feet square, having a covering made to
fit the inside and capable of being lowered
or raised at will. Heavy weights were
placed upon it, and as these were increased
in number, depressing tho lid, the poor
wretch within the box was slowly crushed
to death.
Iu using the water torture it was bolieved
that the torment of thirst would
induce a prisoner to confess his guilt
After several days’ subsistence on a salt
diet, without rice and water, tho accused
was shut in a room where ho could sec and
hear the dropping of water on all sides, but
out of his reach. The cravings and suffer
ings lieoumo fearful under tho agony, often
approaching the bounds of insanity.
Deprivation of sleep was effected by plac
ing tho criminal upon a bed, or mat, over
which a small stream of water was contin
ually flowing. Attendants were in readi
ness, ami at. the slightest indication of
slumber they would rouse their victim by
ringing Ik-1 Is, beating drums, or the appli
cation of lire to his body. The treatment
render s! sleep impossible; the poor wretch’s
mind leonine disordered under the torture,
ami ulUiulimts lull him u ruvius maniac.
NEED OF RAILROADS IN A3l
The Iron Horse Poking His Note to
the Corners of the Orient. 1
From the San Francisco Chronicle. I
It is probable that within ten years La
will be crossed by a transcontinental I
road, built by tho Russians from the 8-
ent terminus of the line, which is alrw
some hundreds of miles east of the Tt
Mountains, to Irkutsk, thence to I4
Baikal and down the valley of the Amool
Vladiovstock, or some other port open!
deep-sea navigation. This road appears*
bean imperative necessity to protect
Russian settlements in Eastern Siberia 1
posed to Chinese incursions for 2,000 mil
along their southern frontier.
Tiie Siberian railroad is not lieing ere
structed a moment, too soon: for if awl
were suddenly to break out between Russl
and China, the thin line of settlements el
tending down the Amonr valley along tti
Chinese frontier might be overrun by couid
less hordes without any power on the pari
of the Russian government to relievo in
beleaguered garrisons. Russia never an
tempts to accomplish anything with China
except through diplomacy. It is only feat
of China that has kept her from absorbin gj
the whole of Corea and having what sha
so much needs—a port on the Pacific sufli-i
ciently far south to be open to her squadronsj
for the entire year. The plans for building
the Siberian line include the erection of
extensive works at some point on the
Amoor, and to proceed with the construc
tion from both ends at the same time.
|l In the meantime China is also to be
gradually opened up to civilization by
means of several lines of railroad, for which
plans have already been made anil on which
work will soon lie commenced. This change
in the exclusive policy of the empire is due
to the fact that Marquis Tseng has imbibed
some of the spirit of progress during his
long residence in Europe, and has added his
influence to that of Li Hung Chang, always
liberal, in inducing the father of tiie young
Emperor to consent. The motive is rather
strategic than commercial, tlio need of rail
roads to re-enforce the garrisons of a long
extent of seacoast having been made evi
dent during the late war with France. It
is the design to connect Tnku, at the mouth
of the Pei-Ho, with Peking, and to
build a road from Peking to Canton,
connecting it with brangh lines to
Chefoo, Shanghai, Foochow, Amoy, Swa
tow, and such other ports as may seem
necessary. It seems to be uncertain who is
to build these roads. It was first stated
that the contract to build that from Peking
to Taku had been given to a French syndi
cate. It has since been stated that the
work would be given to Chinese contractors
alone, though this seems improbable. The
competition lias been active between the
representatives of French, German, Ameri
can and English companies. To open the
Chinese Empire by means of railroads will
be a revolution in more sense than one. It
will make tho whole population uneasy,
will render tho coast of the empire acces
sible, and probably set in motion a wave of
emigration that may destroy the industrial
equilibrium of the world, if it does not have
results absolutely dangerous to its general
peace. ,
SHAMEFULLY DECEIVED.
Soldierly Sympathy Turned to Gall by
an Unexpected Discovery.
f'rom the Kansas City Journal.
“During tho late unpleasantness,” said a
well-known Irish -American gentleman yes
terday, “I was a member of Company A, of
the famous Sixty-ninth Irish Regiment.
In the company were two iuiiltlle-agod men,
named Patrick O’Malley and Timothy
Burke. They were steadfast friends and be
longed to the same mess. At the first batt e
of Bull l Run. as everybody knows, the regi
ment covered itself with glory, remaining
on the field after nearly every other com
mand had turned its back to tho foe. While
we were engaged in a hand-to-hand strug
gle, fight ing with clubbed muskets and prod
ding the enemy with our bayonets, O’Malley,
reeled, pawed the lead laden air with his
hands, and with a shriek that was plainly
heard above the diu of battle, fell prone
upon the earth. Tim ceased firing,
and, stooping over him, in tender tone!
asked;
“ ‘Are yez hurted, Pat?’
“ ‘Yds, Tim. Howley mother, my leg ii
gone!’
“Tim examined Pat’s right leg and found
that it was terribly lacerated by a grape
shot, just almve the. knee. Just then the
Black Horse Cavalry, composed of tho
flower of Southern chivalry, came
swooping down upon our thinned ranks.
The onslaught was too desperate to bo
resisted, and, like all the other valiant sol
diers of tho Union who participated in that
memorable affray, we decided that
discretion was the better part of valor, and
flod toward Washington. Tim was stil
bending over the prostrate form of O’Ma
levwhen the retreat began. ‘Don’t lea vs
me, Tim,’ said he. ‘We have been friend*
together in the oukl country and this, and
let’s not part now in the hour of me mis
fortune.’ •
“ ‘Be heavens! I’ll not go widout yez’
exclaimed Tim.
“Thereupon he picked up O’Malley and
threw him over his shoulder, his legs dang
ling in front and his head behind, and joinel
in the precipitate rout. Tim was a six
footer and as stout a? John L. Sullivan. He
bore Put for a mile, dodging around army
wagons mid caissons that blocked the high
way. While he was running from tho field
a cannon bull earned away Pat’s head: but
Tim, owing to his excitement, did not be
come aware of that catastrophe to his
friend. Finally the crush and jam became
so great Tim was unable to procce 1 fur.her,
so lie came to a standstill. A young adjutant
rode up to him and asked:

Boston Girls Chew Gum by the Ton.
From the. Boston Post.
A man whose business is that of sidling
chewing-gum informed me that about forty
tons of that delectable compound are sold
annually here in Boston alone. The
company that he represents have invested
over *50,000 in boxes which are ingeniously
constructed to deliver live good, liberal
“chews’ to tiie customer who deposits a
“nickel” in the top of the box. These iioxes
are distributed free of charge all over the
city and country and it requires
n suiail arm}' of men to collect
the coins anil refill the boxes with
chewing-gum. 1 inquired if unscrupulous
persons dal not occasionally deposit articles
other than tho coin of the realm, in order
to obtain the gum result, and he replied that
old knife blades, buttons, bits of iron and
lead and other debris were often found in
the boxes, but they hardly ever responded
unless they heard the ring of the true metal.
The luin-chewiug public have very little
idea of tho extent to which this innocent
habit of exciting tho salivary glands is
practised. Porlinps it serves its purpose in
allaying the craving for nervous excitement
so common to the American people, and if
as 1 am informed is the case, it often cures
the inveterate tobacco ehewer of his disgust
ing habit, it will prove a blessing, and its
Use might bo encouraged by legislative en
actments. Who knows, as the agent afore
said exclaimed, what diminution of crime,
what purity in politics and what cleaning
up of tho moral atmosphere might not
result from *u liberal supply of gum
gratuitous y furnished m certain quarters.
