An Astonishing' Battle.
John Beach, of Dennison, Tex.,
was an eye witness of a terrible
battle between a large wdod rat
and a bla'eksnake, near the farm
of Mr. Ninon. Tbe snake was
concealed in the weeds and at
tacked the rat, which was crossing
the, wagon road. The reptile
grabbed tbe rat, which extricated
itself and then turned on its an
tagonist, biting a piece of the flesh,
out of the neck near the head.. The
snake struck at the rat, but tbe ro
dent avoided the blow by jumping
into the air. Tbe reptile, by a
movement which Beach described
as “quick as lightning,” grabbed
the rat a second time. The rat
bit the snake, and then, Beach
says, the battle to the death com
menced. The snake and rat were
badly mixed up, and the dust flew
sd that he could not distinguish
one of the combatant!’ from the
otter. The struggle lasted about
ten minutes, when the rat lay in
the road dead, and the snake was
so badly woundedithat Mr. Beach
killed it with a stick. The back of
the reptile was literally torn to
pieces, and Mr, Beach is astonish
ed that survived the battle:
John Morley tells the following
story of the elder Pitt. • The latter
was one'day discussing with his
friends the qualities most essen
tial to a successful minister.
Knowledge, said one; industry,
said another;'eloquence, eried a
third. ( No, Mr. Pitt said, patience.
The iron industry of New Eng
land is being gradually trans
ferred to the south. A similar
transfer of cotton manufacturing
will surely occur.

Never Saw tbe Like.
Wonderful Future for the South.
Wonderful Railway.
From the Kansas City Times.
Every one who comes to Kansas
City from Kansas these days has
his own particular stock, of stories
to tell about the wonderful crops
in that plate. Among the Sun
flower pilgrims who landed in the
city on Saturday was Charley Bar
rett, the good-looking and talkative
traveling passenger, agent of the
Missouri Pacific. .He had spent
four br five days in S&uthem Kan
sas, and his mouth was going 'st
the rate of 500 revolutions a'minute
about crops, when he was flagged
by a Times man on Main street
“Wheat!” he exclaimed, “you
never, saw the like! The farmers
down in Sduttem Kansas had to
rent the public roads to get room
enough to stack the wheat. Wasn’t
room enough in the fields to hold
the stacks. I saw one ”
“How is the fruit crop?’’.,
“Fruit 1 Ton never saw the like!
Apples as big as cannon balls

stacks. I saw one apple that

“Trees! Yon never Sa# the like!
The farmers planted sorghum in
the orchards and the stalks grew
up like telegraph poles and sup
ported the limbs. I saw one stalk
of sorghum .that was.two feet ”
“How is the broom com crop?”
“Broom corn! Yon never saw
the like! There hasn’t been a
cloudy ‘day in Southern Kansas
for a montjil Can’t cloud up. The
broom corn grew so high that it
kept the clouds swept off the face
of the sky. ab. blefif as iieW floor.
They will have to cut the corn
down if its gets too dry. Some of
the broom cornstalks are so high

“How*is the com crop?”
“Com! You never say^tte like!
Down in the Neosho and Fall river
and Arkansas bottoms the corn is
as high as a house. They use step-
ladders5to gather roasting e^rs.”
“Aren’t step-ladders pretty ex

“Expensive! Well, I should say

The trouble is tl^t the children
climb up into |tte cornstalks to
hunt for eagles’ nests . and some
times fall out and kill theniselves.
Fourteen funerals in one county
last week from that cause. I at
tended all of them! That is why
I am so sad. And, mind you, the
corn is not more than half grown.
A man at Arkansas City has in
vented a machine which fib calls
‘The Solar* Cora Harvester and

with gas like a ballon and floats

Kansas?”.
“Cider? Yon never „sjw., the

farmery in Crowley county have
filled ttfeif cisterns with cider. A
proposition was made a few days
since to the water works company
of Arkansas City to supply the
towq .with cider through the mains!
bnt the company was compelled to
decline because they were afraid
the cider would rust the pumps.
They were sorry, but they said they
would have to continue to furnish
water, although it cost more;' I

“The people must be happy ofef

About one month ago H young

he did he'was able to converse in

Some weeks ago the Morning
News stated that a Baltimore! gen-
tieman had invented a new railway
system by which mail matter and
light freight could be transported
at a very high rate of speed, the
motive power of which wa^glec-
iga§| A Paris ffoixe&pdnaenfe
described the other day another
new system, by which the inventor
hopes that passengers may be cart
ried at the rate of about 150 miles
an hour without danger of derail
ment, and without unpleasant re
sults of any kind. A model of the
new rail way is on .-exhibition near
Paris. The motive power? is [wa
ter. The great£advafifage?claijpgd
for this hydraulic railway system
is, of conrse, increased spgpd, but
another advantage is freedom from
danger of boiler explosions.
The rolling stock is less expen
sive, than onjthe .steam railways,
but the track costs more. In ad
dition to the outer track, ther© is.
an inner- one, from which project
“taps,” through which streams...of
water are forced by hydraulic^
pressure upon certain projections
nnfier the train called “paddles.”
The “taps” open automatically
when the train reaches them, anj
close in the same manner after - it
has passed over them. They .'sup
ply the motive power. . Neither,
the engines ; nor the cars have,
wheelg.^ Instead, ttere ; are what
the Correspondent calls skates*
grooved to fit the track. These;
skates slide over a tjiin layer ,qf
water, the water being forced un
der them by hydraulic pressure..
The correspondent, took a ride pvej
the model, and lie was carried iff-;
safety and comfort at the rate of.
135 miles an hour. The inventor
of this wonderful system is a
Frenchman. He made his discov--
ery in 18681 but until recently did
not have the means to put the sys-j
tem into practice! In this day of.
wonderful inventions scarcely any
thing seems to be unreasonable!
