WORKS OF ART.
Belford, Middlebiook & Co., of Chicago,
are publishing weekly a series of beautiful
portfolios, devoted to tbe AMERICAN
1 NAVY AND CUBA. The illustrations
are reproductions of photographs, with
, introduction and deccriptive texts, show
ing all the vessels of our navy, the
MAINE, as she majestically rode the
waves before her destruction, and all of
her officers.
CUBA, THE QUEEN OF THE AN
TILLES, is illustrated in all its phases,
from the captain general's palace to the
hovels of its starving wretches—shown as
it is today, not as it will appear after
Sampson's fleet has bombarded it, that
will come later. .
We have made exclusive arrangements
with the publishers whereby we will fur
nish our subscribers with 'these beautiful
portfolios, containing 16 reproductions in
each number, at 10 cents for each series.
Tbe regular subscription price is SO cents,
and those wishing them, who are not sub
scriber! to our paper, can secure them at
that pnee. And they are well worth 50
ceuta.
We have samples of these beautiful
worksofart and history in our office
which we would be glad to show you and
take your subscription for the entire series
or as many parts as you wish.

Tbe distant murmur of the waterfall,
th. *mvn of the bees among the flowers,
mad. bm feel buy. laying aside
my fishing rod, I stretched myself on
the soft spring gram under a weeping
willow and watched the bln®, cloud
gpeckedaky. I had almost fallen asleep
Xn I wm aroused by a vuioe inquir
ing, "Kotahed enny fish, mister?”
Looking up, I raw a typicsl moun
taineer and assured him I had not
“I axy, mister, this here ia a jwwer
ful bad kentry fur onakea One bit Jim
Sloan’s buy mare last night, an week
afore last another bit Sally Milligan.
Some on ’em air powerful pizen, -spe
cially the rattlers an coppers, an that
•minds me, es I wua yerself, I’d move
a little further from that ’ere copper.
He ain’t ractly petty to look at an es
ye wuz to rile ’im with yer boot be
mow git vicious.”
Ixmg before that speech had ended I
had turned a somesaul t backward, which
caused the mountaineer a gnat deal of
genuine pleasure to behold. I was about
to exterminate the big, sluggish reptile
with a stick that I had seized when my
companion asked me to wait a few mo
menta, as a king might come along.
Not exactly understanding whether
he expected a person of that name and
failing to see what that event had to do
with my laudable desire to smash the
big, ugly thing that had presumed to
take my leg for a pillow, I asked him
for an explanation.
"Air it posable yer town folks dnnno
what a king air? Why, a king air the
boss snake uv the woeda He don’t do
no barm to nothin, ’ceptin snakes, an
he don’t pester them as hain’t pizen.
But he do love a copper an a rattler,
which is the worst snakes uv these dig
gin’s, an he’s death on ’em.
"T’other day I wuz gwine long a old
road, an all uv a sudden I heerda singin
as though a camp meetin had just tuck
in. I knowed it wuz a rattler, an lookin
round I saw him on a knoll, an a pow
erful big un he wuz. He vyu quilled up
like a corkscrew, an his rattles wuz
a-makin the air jingle. But at first I
couldn’t ’scover the cause, an I knowed
a rattler never got ready fur business
fur nothin. Presently I seed the grass
a-swayin an a-bendin, an then the rat
tler, he gets nervius an skeered, an un
quillin hisself he made a break to run.
"But it wuz too late, fur on came the
king like a hurricane, an puttin hisself
just ahead the rattler showed him his
jig wuz up. Seein he couldn’t ’scape,
the rattler quilled ag’in an showed
fight The king, he commenced to run
round his inimy in a wide circle, the
rattler watchin, lickin out his tongue
an makin his rattle sing like a ban jer.
Closer an closer the king drawed his
circle as he dashed round until he
wuzn’t more’n three feet from the ini
my.
"Then the rattler, thinkin he raw
1 the last show to save his bacon, made a
powerful spiteful lunge at the king,
an thar is whar he slipped up, fur the
king he dodged, an qnicker’n gunpow
der wuz on to the rattler. Thar wuzn’t
nothin but a ball uv snakes in sight fur
a few minutes as they fought an tus
sled over the grass, but arter a little I
could see the red an black striped king
wound round the big rattler just like
a grapevine on a tree.
"Then I seed the king hold ’im by
the back uv the neck, an I could bear
him crushin the rattler as he tightened
on him. It wuz all over in half an hour,
an the king, unwindin hisself from his
victim, got behind an waited fur ten
minutes. Then he crept up an put his
nose on the rattler’s _to see if he wuz
breathin. Ye see, other snakes know
the king an sometimes possum on him
by pretandin to be dead.
"But the rattler wuz shore ’nuff gone,
an when the king wuz satisfied uv this
he crawled in a old stump hole an
presently came out with a mouse’s tail
stickin out his mouf. But he soon
‘swallowed the mouseyan, wipiniiis nose
on the grass, went off sarchin for more
trouble. A king alien eats,a rat or a
wad after a fight to make-him strong
, fur the next un.
| "An now, mister, ,1 could tell, ye a
powerful lot more’n that, fur I knows
snakes, I do, but I’ll help ye kill the
.copper, which mout not meet a king
until he bites some un es we didn’t, an
then I must huny on after my oxen,
