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. Thebe are 80,Q0() alliancemen in Georgia, members of 2,061 sub- alliances.

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 growifi^ in clusters as big as hay stacks. I saw one apple that “Don’t the trees break down?” “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 th^t-— “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 pensive?” . .... , . . “Expensive! Well, I should say so; bnt that isn’t the worst of i£ 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 Child Protector.’ It is inflated with gas like a ballon and floats over the com . tops, and the occu pants reach down ana cut off the ears of corn with a cavalry saber. Every Kaiisas farmer hUs a cavalry saber, and ” Do they make much cider in Kansas?”. “Cider? Yon never „sjw., the life! Oceans of it! Most of 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 saw qne farmer who “How is the potato crop?’’ “Potatoes!., You never saw tife. like!

The south dan duplicate : locomotives would be superseded its timber resources, many times over. From its kindly soil j 1 that needs feat proper treatment to yield fnost abundantly, more profit can be made than in any.other section of the country, ‘and the south can in time easily annually produce as much agricultural wealth as the whole country now does. | It has, moreover, many industrial possi bilities found nowhere else, offer ing such an inviting field for in vestment £§ Its cotton seed toil in dustry, though comparatively fet a few years old, b$3 ^>20,000,000 to $25,000,000 invested in it yielding large profits; its yearly ffet and vegetable gbuBifiess Will before many years, draw not less than $100,000,000 a year southward; i^s winter travel from the north, which will swell to enormous proportions, and which even now leaves $7,000,- 000 to $8,000,000 a year in Florida alone, will cause the building of the finebtjhotels in tfiej world all the way from Virginia to Texas, and while the Ponce de Leon may notfbe duplicated, there will be others numbered by the score costing a half million or more each. ; AnJ then the mild; balmy air makes the cost of living less than elsewhere, and thus furnish- cost of prod ucts and live stock, as well as of manufactured goods. . Hqre is a combination of all the best advan tages of all the otter’.conntries in the world, -without thei^ disadvan tages. It i's a §ffiarveious&tbing, and no one can study these mat ters without being amazed at the wonderful future upon which the south has|iiitered. About one month ago H young man named Joe Harper of St. Louis was struck on the back of the head with a pair of brass knuckles by a footpad, knocking him sense less, and for a month he lay uncon scious. A few days ago he sudden ly recovered his senses, but when he did he'was able to converse in telligently only in the German lan guage. He was bqrp of American parehts, whoCspblfeiGefeafi, and hat was. the language he first learned. He gave that up, howev er, and learned {English, using it at all times, entirely|forgetting,his German. Nbwf fiS fcan remeifiber nothing of English. • Scientists are wrestling with the'problem. There are'three ex-confederates on eaehfof the state, tickets which have been nominated in Virginia.

Wash ington Bogdan has heard that Mr. Wannaniakeriis Philadelphia stores are to be boycotted by southern merchants, if colored people are appointed to postoffices in tbe south. This May or may not be true. by those run by electricity and wa« ter, just as the old stage coaches were superseded by steam loeomo-r tries, and as if, instead of travelr ing at the most, sixt y miles aa. hour, people would be whirled along at the rate of 185 . to 150 miles ian hour, without noise, jar ring or dost. * • : , r 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..
