Dropping in at a books'ore the other day, I met Uertru e Garri son, the literary editor of the American Press /lesuciut on. Like Erla W heeler Wilcox and Annie W olf (Em’ly), Mrs. (/airtson is a -b onds and very handsome. She is above the medium height, with i lcong symmetrical feature-, large, 1 miiful blue eyes an l golden lit, r. While she is a successful journalist, something very few w,-men ucceed in being, she has r eentiy made an especial hit in s ries. John Boyle Oli illy pro nounMd her Christmas sory, ,uich has been going tin rounds of the press recently, equal io any American classic Her "Prince of 1 uveriy” is strikingly new and 0 'iginai in style, and the poet, Elia H'heeler Wncox, said t-iai i( would draw tears from a Spartan, lb is certainly very stro g, full of pathos and long weeps Virs. Garrison is, too, a brilliant c vemitionulist, as enter uiuiug a she is original. It is said that she handles a blue pencil with scientific dex erity, and has no roy on bad copy. Iu tact, she is coed a martinet, and will accept i,o copy unless it cun pus-, muster i grammar, composiaon und rhetoric. I acked bei how she managed to wade through so or cop,. tlm practice bad taught her rap idity “1 can tell in a few foil s ay bad, good or indifferent the 'mutter will be. Too writer gen rally shows nheir strength or weakness n a few pag x, and .ives a forecast of whar is so be expected.”—New York .Mail and Express. THE ROADRUNNER. A veiv 8' ugu araud yet a very tie known ml is the roadruunei liiiparrwl o >ck, or, a 8 it in kaown n Mexico and the Spanish secti. ns of the United S ates, the paistho. I( belotiS- to *be cuckoo family Imt has non - of he bad habits by which the Eu l opean cuccoo in be*t know. It is a shy bird, but 1 not by any means an unfamiliar (i! juct in /be southwestern per turns of th« United S'.A'es aud in M xico. Sciuotiines it wanders, up into middle California but no/ lien, seeming to prefer /he more d -erted. hotter and san lier partß of southern Oelifornia, and from nere stretching i/s haiiitat as far ist as middle Texas. It is not by any means a briliantly colored bird, although some of its hues are Very beautiful. Casin men a ions a most remark aide circumstance among the pe culiarities of the bird. It seems to have a mostal hatred of rattle snakes, and no sooner sees one of j those reptiles than it sets about in j what, to the snake, might well ! s em a most diabolical way of com passing its death. Finding the snake asleep, it at once seeks out the spinies of the small cacti, the prickly pear, and, with in inline pains an<l quietness, carries the leaves, which it breakes off, and puts them in a circle around the slumbering snake. When it has made a sufficient wall about the snake, it rouses its victim with a sudden peck of its sharp beak, and then quickly retires to let the snake workout its own destruction. Any one watching it would say it was expressing the liveliest emotion with its constantly moving tail. The snake quickly realizes that it is hemmed in, in a circle, and finally makes a rash attempt to glide over the obstruction. The angry snake, with small wisdom, attempts to retaliate by fastening its fangs into the offending cactus. The spines till its mouth. Angrier still, it again and again ! assaults the prickly wall, until, , quite beside itself with rage, it i seems to lose its wits completely, I and, writhing and twisting, buries its fangs into its own body, dying j finally from its self inflicted wounds. ! After the catastrophe, the bird in ■ dttlges in a few gratified flirts of its | long tail and goes off, perchance to , audits reward in being run down by hounds set on by men.

The child heard tLe sounds with beating heart and is she dragged herself to the wins low she cried ou in exultation; “Oh ! it is the snowflakes come again.
