A Cat's Fight With a Rattlesnal
The Americus (Ga.) Republican of
recent date has the following: About
three weeks ago, during the beuutifu
sunny weather we have had which in
duced tlie trees to bud and bloom, I was
walking in mv garden one morn in
thinking about preparing for an early
atari, ior spring vegetables, when i saw
a large rattlesnake sunning. My first
impulse was to go to the house, get a
gun, and kill it. But looking around. I
c-aw a very large house cat cautiously
creep upon the reptile. Anticipating a
fight, and equally desirous of getting rid
of the cat, which killed chickens, I con
cluded to witness his attack upon the
snake. The cat crawled upon its stom
ach, pulling along on its feet, whisking
its tail from side to side, and every now
'and then stretching its neck to view the
snake. When about eight or ten feet off
the snake suddenly coiied up, sprung its
rattle, faced the cat and darted its
forked tongue out rapidly. The ci
commenced a rapid circle around the
snake, so fast in fact that the eye could
hardly keep up with it. At last it got
near enough and made a dart at its
enemy, but through providential rea
sons it went high above the snake,
which also struck at the cat, thus
breaking its coil. The cat went too far,
and by the time it had turned to face its
foe the reptile was again coiled, and
ready for the attack. The same method
was adopted and carried on for four or
five tidies, occupying at least half an
hour. The cat wished to catch the
snake, but seemed aware that if it missed
the neck it would be certain death. At
the sixth assault they met and instantly
the snake was wrapped in several folds
around the body of the cat, which used
its sharp claws with deadly effect The
cat had been bitten on the head and
neck several times, and both continued
to fight. The snake was torn nearly to
shreds, but did not unloosen its coil
around its victim. Th poison was
swift and deadly, but before the cat died
it caught the snake's head in its mouth
and crushed it, and fighting they died,
the snake enwrapping the cat in iu
coils. The snake measured four feet
eight inches and had thirteen ratties.

THE TERROR OF THE JUNGLE.
A Urnphta Areonnt of the Peril! of TLlon
IIuntlfjK In Africa,
At the close of a fine Virpozv dnv in
J une, a party of three Englishmen, with
iioitenioi attendants. an ox team, horses
and dogs, were bivouacked, after an ex
citing day of hunting, on a small plain
near tne banks ot the Sunday, a tribu
tary of the Buffalo ri ver, situated be
tween Fort Lucas and Quagga Krncl,
in that part of British Catl'rana known
as Natal, which, as most readers are
aware, forms an important portion of
aoutn Airica.
The day had been replete with adven
ture, and the spoils of the chase were
varied ; but, although tlie prime objects
of tlie sportsmen was to bring down a
tawny lion or two, they did not disdain
to have a crack at any wild animal un
lucky enough to come within range of
their breech-loading "Mantons," con
sequently their "bag" comprised spring
boks, gnus, wild sheep, cape rabbits, a
few birds, etc. With the monarch of
the forest, however, they were not suc
cessful. They had sighted n nymber
single nnd in pairs but in every case
their majesties kept a respect ful distance,
and any attempt at close acquaintance
was s frustrated by their immediately
turning tail nnd sneaking off in the most
unroyal manner, thus refuting the long
cherished idea that tho lion is tlie most
courageous of beasts. There are many
opinions on this subject, for nnd
against, but although lions are known
at times to display wonderful audacity
and bravery, our hunters this day were
certainly disgusted, and voted I.eo to bo
both a roaring braggart and coward.
It was not with the most satisfied air.
therefore, that they returned to the
bivouac which they had quitted in the
morning, and after securinit the stock
and picketing the horses, tat clown to
partake ot the evening meal prepared
by the Hottentot cook. But after six
or seven hours of sharp riding, the
savoryodor ot springbrok (a species of
antelope) steaks, shewed rabbit, flap
jacks and aromatic Oolong, had a won
derfully soothing effect on the hunters;
and, when these good things had been
done ample justice to, and pipes charged
and lighted, the weary Nimrods cast
themselves down with perfect abandon
around the fire for 11. quiet chat before
turning in, their blank attendants mean
while applying themselves with much
address to the disposal of the remains of
the feast.
Although the day was fast declining,
the sun had not vet gone down, but was.

and plains with occasional hursts of

Tlie cattle were munching their g-ain
and juicy grass, nnd. with the exception
of the low hum of the little encamp
ment and the occasional chirp of the
field cricket, nil nature was hunhcd,
when, suddenly, tlie echoes were
awakened by a sharp roar, reverberat
ing tnrough the valley below, and bring.
ing uie n timers to meir leet witn a
bound. 1 he roar was repeated, followed
by yells of men and screams of women,
and it did not take our friends lonir to
ascertain the direction from wlicnce ttie
sudden alaim came.
They had remarked, when selecting
their camping ground, a couple of Cafl're
huts probably Fingoes or Gelakns
about a quarter of a mile distant, on the
verge of the first ment ioned stream, nnd
concluded that the noise came from that
quarter, and without more ado the
three white men saddled up, took their
arms and departed for the scene.
On arriving they found that the oc
cupantsof tho little kraal had fled with
the exception of a youtli of about seven'
teen, who was engaged in dcsncrntelv
hur:ing assegais at a large lion ntnnding
over a prostrate body, and a short dis
tance beyond they perceived a lioness
holding down a second human form,
while other lions and cubs were leisurely
uevoui ing a coupio oi t;anrc cows.
Taking in this situation at a glance,
our friends did not hesitate as to their
course; so riding boldly forward, they
in turn delivered their tire at the first
lion as they dashed past, and, wheeling
in circle, gave the lioness a similar
dose. Both beasts being wounded nnd
becoming furious, the hunters had to
observe great caution, for the animals
left their prey, and roaring and lashing
their flanks with their tails, prepared to

New York's First Great Fire.
The first great fire in New York hap
pened in September, 1776, just after
Washington had been driven from the
city. New York was then a small but
beautiful town; it reached only to the
lower end of the par is, but Broadway
was lined with shade trees, nnd its fine
houses stretched away on botli sides to
the Battery. Trinity church stood, as
now, at tho liend of Wall street. St.
Pauls a building of treat cost nnd
beauty for tlie times almost bounded
the upper end of Broadway. Tlie Brit
ish soldiers marched into the pleasant
but terrified city, the leading patriots
fled with Wellington's army, and in
the hot, days of the autumn of 1776
New York seemed to offer a pleasant
home lor the oflioors and men of the in
vading forces. They took possession of
tho deserted country seats of the patri
ots at Bloomingdalo or Murray Hill,
and occupied the finest houses on the
best streets of tlie town. Here they
hoped to pass a winter of ease, nnd in
the spring complete withr.ut difficulty
tlie rout of the disheartened Americans.
But one night in September tho crv
of fire was heard, and the flames began
tD spread from some low wooden bui Id-
ings near Whitchai', where now aro the
Produce Exchange and Staten Island
ferries. In those days thero wre no
steam-engines nor hydrants, no Crolon
water nor well-organized lire-companies.
But as the flames continued to ad
vance, the British soldiers sprang from
their beds and began to labor to check
the fire with all the means in their
power. They used, no doubt, buckets
of water brought from the cisterns and
the river. Tlieyfound.it is Baid, sev
eral persons setting houses on fire, and
in their rage threw them into the
flames. But their labor was all in vain.
All night the fire spread over the finest
quarter of New York. From Whitehall
it passed up Broadway on the eastern
side, devouring everything, until it wos
stopped by a large new brick house near
Wall street. It crossed to tlie western
side, and laid nearly the whole street in
ruins. It fastened on the roof and tower
of Trinity church, nnd soon, of all its
graceful proportions, only a few slut
tered frngments remained. Then the
flames passed rapidly up to the west of
Broadway from Trinity as far as St.
Paul's; houses and shops crumbled be
fore them; a long array of buildings
seemed to have fed the raging fires,
until at last they reached the walls of
the great church itself, and here, it is
said, the zeal of the people checked
their progress. They mounted the roof
ot the cnurch, covered it with streams
of water, put out the sparks that fell on
it, until at last the building was saved.
the flames died out. and St. Paul's stands
to-day almost ns it stood in 1776. the
monument ot the close of the grent fire.
It is not dillicult to imagjne'the mcl-

nnce of the city. Broadway, once so
beautiful, remained until the end of tho
war in grealvpart a street of ruins
From Wall street to the Batt-Ty, from
St. Paul's church to the Bowling
Green, the miserable waste was never
repaired. Up its desolate track paraded
each morning the British officers and
their followers, shining in red and gold,
to the sound ot martini music; but they
had no leisure por wish to repair the
ravages of war. On the wasted district
arose a collection of tents and hovels,
called "Canvas Town." Here lived
the miserable poor, the wretched, the
vile; robbers who nt night made tlie
rums unsate, and incendiaries who
never ceased to terrify the unlucky city.
The British garrison was never suffered
to remain long at ease.
It was said that the great fire of 1776
was the work ot the patriots, who had
resolved to burn New York, nnd drive
tlie invaders from their safe resting-
place. The question of its origin has
never been decided. It may have been
altogether accidental, or possibly the
work of design. But it was followed by
a singular succession ot other tires.

phui to annoy and discourage the in

What Puzzled the Millers.
The Minneapalis IVibune relates an
amusing incident that happened in the
Palisade mill of that oil v. January 1.
The proprietors went to the expense of
purchasing a new water wheel, with
which to propel the machinery of the
Palisade. lliey reluctantly shut the
mill down for a couple of weeks for t he
purpose ot putting tins new wheel in,
feeling satisfied that the increased power
obtained from it would more than re
pay thera for the loss of time. Without
topping to consider the matter of rich
and lefts', as applied to water wheels,
the work progressed until, on New
Year's morning, it was complete, and,
with a great sigh of relief, they prepared
for business, and turned on the water.
Imagine their consternation when all
the machinery ' f the mill began to re
volve backward ! Everything moved
in just the opposite direction from what
it had ever done before, or was intended
to do. The stores turned ba kward,
the elevators ran downward, instead of
upward, and well, the proprietors
thought that New Year's might have a
bad effect on them, and turned the mill
or themselves wrong side up. The
partners, after careful examinations, as
sured each other that none of them
were standing on their heads! Then
they strolled out upon the platform and
took a look at the mill building. That
was right side up! But the machinery
persisted in running the wrong way,
from basement to attic, and threatened
to reverse the natural order of things
by converting flour into wheat They
at first thought of going to the lunatic
asylum in a body; but, fortunately,
their millwright was suddenly struck
with an idea! They shut the gates, lie
took a squint at the new wheel, and the
mystery was explained! It was a " left
hand" wheel, and had been thought
lessly set as a right.
A Wonderful Song Writer.
The wonderful song, "The Erl King,"
was composed by Franz Schubert in less
than an hour. A friend left him one
day reading Goethe's poem for the first
time, and returning shortly, found the
song finished.
Another of Schubert's famous songs,
"The Serenade," was composed one
afternoon in a noisy German beer cellar,
amid the noise of squalling children,
the clatter ot mugs and dishes. He
drew some staves on the back of a bill
of fare and thus the tone-poem was pro
duced. One day Schubert left one of his new
songs with his friend Vogl, the siiger,
who found it too high, lie had ft trans
posed and a fortnight after sang it for
Schubert. The composer remarked:
" Really, that Lied is not so bad ; who
composed it P"
Schubert was a master of counter
point and harmony at the age of four
teen. He died when only thirty-one
and left behind him nearly 1,000 com-
Eositions, 600 of which were songs,

musician that ever lived.

The Lesson of the Bath.
One of the most valuable discoveries
made byArchimedes, the famous scholar
of Syracuse, in Sicily, relates to the
weight of bodies immersed in water.
Hiero, King of Syracuse, had given a
lump of gold to be made intoacrowr.
and when it came back lie suspected that
the workmen had kept back some of the
gold, and had made up the weight by
adding more than the right quantity of
silver; but he had no means of proving
this, because they had made it weigh
as much, as the gold winch had been
sent. Archimedes, puzzling over this
pioblem.wentto his bath. As he stepped
in he saw the water, which his body dis
placed, rise to fe higher level in tlie bath,
and to the astonishment of his servants
lie sprang out of the water, and ran
home through the streets of Syracuse
almost naked, cryng,"Eureka! Eureka!"

What had he found P He had discov
ered that any solid body put into a ves
sel of water displaces a quantity of
water equal to its own bulk, and there
fore that equal weights of two sub
stances, one light and bulky, and the
other heavy and small, will displace dif
ferent quantities of water. Tins discov
ery enabled him to solve his problem.
Ho procured one lumo of told nnd
another of silver, each weighing exactly
the same as the crown. Of course the
lumps were not the same size, because
silver is lighter than gold, and so it
takes more of it to make up the same
weigut. lie nrst put the gold into a
basin of wnter. and marked on the side
of tho vessel the height to which the
wnter r..se.
Next, taking out the gold, he nut in
the silver, which, though it weighed the
same, yet, being largerj made the water
rise higher; nnd this height he also
marked. lastly, he took out the silver
and put in the crown. Now if the crown

much silver had been added. This was

The Greatest
Danger
of Railroad
Travel.
The risk of suddrn
trifling compared with
death is very
the inevitable
injury sustained by every individual
who has to make a long journey by rail.
The traveler really takes his life in his
hand whenever he sets out. The
danger is less from accident than de
sign, less from misplaced switches than
from misplaced ventilators, less from
bad roadbeds than from bad air. We
are not now speaking of the barbaric
nuisance of having to smell, breathe
and bathe in the smoke, soot nnd cin
ders pouring in from the engine, which,
until some other method is found to ob
viate the dilliculty. ought to be in the
rear of the train, instead of the front.
Of all conductors, brakem.cn, porters nnd
passengers, probably not one in tlie
thousand understands the vital im
portance of pure air, nor, indeed, do
they know what pure air is. To the
conductor's mind, as to that of the
majority of his passengers, tho comfort
of the car depends upon tho tempera
ture it is a matter of warmth or cold
entirely. A warm car, or more com
monly a hot car, is the one desideratum,
albeit the warmth is the product of ani
mal heat from fifty bodies, mr.ny of
them not very e'ean, and of exhalations
froni fifty pair of lungs, with little
chance for the escape of vitiated air or
the ingress of pure air a condition of
tilings tending to produce a state of
' blue blood " not contemplated by the
hautton. When the life current comes
up to the lungs to be changed from
blue to red, to throw off there the car
bonic acid and take in oxygen and the
whole volume of blood makes this cir
cuit once in every half minute, or over
one hundred times an hour if there is a
lack of sufficient ventilation in the car
or sitting-room or sleeping-ioom. the
blood cannot undergo this vital trans 'ur
ination. It goes back to the heart, and
from thence is pumped through the ar
teries frcui crown to sole, throughout
the complicated mesh-work of the ca
pillaries, in a stale entirely unfitted to
perform its functions ot supplying oxy
gen to nil parts of the body, of carrying
off the waste particles resulting froni
the "never-ceasing death " of the atoms
composing the body, nnd of replacing
these with fresh, living atoms, or, ns it
is usually put, "repairing the waste."

The Largest of Laud Animals.
In the American Journal of Science awl
Arts, Prof. Marsh describes the largest
land animal yet known to have existed
on the globe. Its name is Atlantosaurus
immanis. The thigh bone of this creature
is over eight feet long, with a thickness
at tne larger end of twenty-hve inches,
though the bone has no true head. A
comparison of this bone with the fe
mur of a crocodile would indicate that
the fossil saurin, if ot similar propor
tions, had a total length of 115 feet.
That the tf ptile was 100 feet long when
alive is at least probable. The other
bones of this animal that have been
lound are proportionately gigantic

of more than sixteen inches. All the

mission appointed by the fresident:
The coins tested were the representa
tives of all thse issued during the year.
From each delivery made by the coiners
in tho several mints to the treasury a
certain number nre taken indiscrimi
nately from tho mass, sealed up in en
velopes in the presence of the assay er
and treasurer and deposited in a box
nnnW a "pyke." This box has two
locks to it, nnd each of the officers
named above carries a key. ' It can only
be opened in the presence of tho officials
named. At the end of the year these
boxes are forwarded to Philadelphia
from the other mints and opened in the
presence of the assay commission by the
director of the mint. Each of the coins
in the boxes is carefully weighed, and
any diminution from the standard
weight carefully noted. There is al
ways a tolerance allowed in the weight
of tlie coins, which varies from one
fourth to one grain on-each piece (the
smaller tolerance on gold and the larger
on silver).
After the weight of the single pieces is
ascertained the commission has a certain
namber of single pieces assayed separ
ately of all denominations from the dif
ferent mints to ascertain if the fineness
thereof conforms to the standard of the
law, which is one-thousandth on gold
and one and one-half one-thousandth on
silver. Any deviation in fineness from
the legal standard established by law is
noted. The coins are then melted in a
mass and assayed, for the purpose of
learning whether the fineness of the
mass conforms to the standard. There
have been but two cases in the history
of the government where nny deviation
has been found, and in both coses it
was mere accident.
Any willful attempt to debase the
coinnge or belittle the standard weight
would be discovered by tlie commission
nnd reported to tho President. The
punishment for such an offense would
be imprisonment and disqualification
from ever holding office In tho United
States.
A fler the standard fineness and weight
hove been tested the commission exam
ines the dillerent weight and balances,
and the balances not only in the receipt
of bullion but in their operations from
no office to another. All the weighing
is done by a pound Trey weight, which
is in the possession of the mint in this
city. This weightwas produced by our
United States minister in London in
1827. It is the standard of all the Troy
weights in the country.
Why arc White Cats Generally Deaf!
This is the question which nn earnest
inquirer sends to the New York Sun,
and which is thus answered by the
philosopher of the Graphic: Assuming
the statement ot tlie Hun s correspondent
to be a fact and. tie says lie can prove
it we bes; to intimate that it results
trom tneir being nit on tlie tiead by
bootjacKS oftener than any other kind
of cats. A white cat. standing and
singing on a board fence, is a discernible
obiect, even In quite a gloomy nir.ht.
ft constitutes a sinning mark, and nny
fellow in tolerable practice is very likely
to hit the animal before he has tired
away the Inst piece of portable property
in his bedroom. Concussion of the
brain, as anybody knows who has felt a
watermelon or a washbowl drop on Ins
head from a fourth-story window, is
certain to be followed by a temporary,
if not permanent, deafness, nnd there is
no reason for supposing cats to he an
exception to tne rule. .Now, a grav car.
a brown cat, and especially a black cat,
at nn evening concert o a riuskv nm it.
or when solo serenading, like " Romeo"
under " Juliet's" balcony, is much
safer. The enraged citizen who hits
any of these must do it just a? a Fulton
terry boat Hits its slip in a tog, by a good
calculation ns to the location of the
noise. How difficult it is to knock over
a cat with no better guide thnn her
music, varying as it does from an almost
inaudible legato Diano to a Ingli and
rapid staccato, is understood by ail who
spend their nights in trying to sleep in
back bedrooms.
If it is thought the above explanation,
which in ouropinion contains the sour, 1
horse sense of tho deaf-cat question.
should be held to be insufficient.
another occurs to us which can be used
by itself, or cumulatively, as the court
may decide. Now, in comparison with
the grand aggregate of all other colored
cats that is, cats of all other colors
white cats are rare. They are also
gentle, and hence much sought after as
household pets. The children cry for
them, and they will stand more pulling
and hauling at the hands of the baby
than the darker kinds. But nature will
not permit the white cat to suffer all
things, so she defends them against the
crowning indignity of the "domestic
pianoforte by leaving out their ear
drums. An Open Letter.

A joung man named E'mer Sever
artco, who was working at Smith A
Carter's camn. at Princeton. Minn., bet
one of his companions a quarter that he
could place a dipper of cold water on
the stove and hold his finger in the dip
per until the water began to boil. The
wnger was accepted. Severance held
his finger in tho dipper quite a while,
but was obliged to withdraw it before the
water had reached a boiling point. hence
he lost his bet. On examination it was
found that the finger was completely
cooked : it pained Severance so that he
was obliged to quit work and come to
town for medical treatment. The prob
ability wns that the finger would have
to he iimpntnrrd.
