THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFII PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY Ai nlh 19, 1860. A QZIBAT SEHPENT. A llr-ninrkable Advrnjure. The following ia from BtokmorVs "Esstern AroLlpeUso DublisW r th ai. ft V CI WJ'IOHfUD. ?ji ?,m.BiJ?gapor?',nyI,1,knw" to Pwed directly ttjCnina, but finding 10 port a Fraoob. . eblp whioh was bound for Hong Kong via Sai ' gon, the oapital of Cmhia Ctilua. I antiMt a i passage on her, In order to sen Bomathing alio v us r icuuu possessions in tie lust. Jait w' ready to sail 1 met a gentleman who had lately retnrned from a long journey to Cambodia, whither he had gone to photo graph the mina of the wonderful temples in that land, lie had a speolmen for me, he said, Whioh I must aooept before I knew what It was, a condition I readily complied with, bat when the "specimen" appeared, I must con fess I was Dot a little snrpilsed to find it was an . enormons python. It had been caught by the natives of Bangkok after It had gorged itself on some unfortu nate beast, but that was some time before, and the brute was evidently ready for another feast. My oans containing alcohol were already on board the ship, bnt I took the monster with me when I went off to her late in the evening, designing to drown it in its box aad.then transfer his snakeshlp t) a can. The captain, with the greatest politeness, met me at toe ran, ana snowed me my state-room in the after-cabin, and the sailors began to bring my" baggage, when first of all appeared the box containing the python I I shouted out te the oabin boy that that box must be left out on deck, and then, In a low tone, explained to the captain that it contained an enormous snake. "Cn a r pent I un serpent!" he ex claimed, raising up both hands ia horror, in suoh an expressive way as only a Frenchman can, and proceeding to declare that he ought to have known that a passenger who was a naturalist would be sure to fill the whole ship with all sorts of venomous beasts. All of the others were little leas startled, and shunned me in the half-lighted oabin, as if I were in league with evil spirits, but I quieted their fears by ordering a sailor to put the box into a large boat that was placed right side up on the main deck, and promising to kill the great reptile to-morrow. May 24. Early this morning we made sail, and I oonoluded to let my troublesome speci men remain until we were out of the harbor; but. sow, in the changing of the monsoons, the winds are light and baiUing, and we finally came to anchor once more; and a sailor who got up into the boat said something about " serpent." I was on the quarter-deek at the time, and determining at once not to be trou bled more with it, jumped down on Che maia deok, ran to the side of the boat, and seizing the box gave it a toss into the sea, but Just as it was leaving my hands I thought to myself, "How . light it is!" and the sailor said, "Le serpent n'esl pas encore! pas encore!" We all looked over the ship's side, and there was the box floating quietly away, and it was evident that the moDSter had escaped. Every one then asked, "Where is he?" but no one could tell. I assured the captain that he was in the box when I put it on the sampan to oome off to the ship. "Is he on board?" was ' the next question from the mouths of all. We looked carefully into the boat and round the deck, but could detect no trace of him what ever, and all, except myself, came to the con clusion that he was not brought on board, and then went back to their work. The box in whioh he bad been confined was about a foot and a half long by a foot high and foot wide, and over the top were four or five strips of board, eaoh fastened at either end with a single nail. On inquiring more olosely, a sailor told me that before I seized the box the side with the slats was one of the perpendicu lar sides, and had not been plaoed uppermost, as it ought to have been. "Then," I reasoned, "he is here on board somewhere, beyond a doubt, and I brought him here, and it's my duty to find him and kill him." We had four horses on deck, and the middle of the beat was filled with hay for them, and under that it was probable that the reptile had orawled away. In the bottom of the boat, aft. was a triangular deck, and as I climbed tip a seoond time I notioed that the board whioh formed the apex of the triangle was loose, and moved a mile to one side. Care fully raising this, I espied, to my horror, the waaI v. jiln.alv An! 1 J mmmm t n n a 1 V. the place being so small that the loose board rested on one of hie coils. I wore a thin suit, a Chinese baju, or loose blouse, a pair of canvas shoes, and a large straw hat. Throw ing off my hat, that I might go into the dread ful struggle unimpeded, I snouted out for a long knife, knowing well that what I must try to do was to out him in two, and that he would attempt to oatoh my hand in his jaws, and, if he should succeed in doing that, be would wind himself around me as quiok as a man could wind the lash of a whip around a fixed stick, and certainly he was large enough and strong enough to orush the largest horse. The oook handed me a sharp knife more than a foot long, and, holding the board down with my feet, I thrust the blade through the oraok, and wrenohing with all mj might, tried to break the great reptile's backbone, and thus render all that part of the body behind the fracture helpless. Despite my utmost efforts, be pulled away the knife, and escaped two or three feet forwards, where there was mere roem under the deck. By this time there was the greatest confusion. The captain, evidently believing that discre tion is the better part of valor, ran below the moment he was satisfied that I had indeed dis covered the monster, seized a brace of revol vers, and perching himself upon the monkey rail, leaned his back against the mtzzen rig ging, and held one in eaoh band, ready to fire into the boat at the slightest alarm. The tailors all gathered round the boat, and stood perfectly still, apparently half stupifled, and not knowing whether it would be safest for them to stand still, climb up in the rigging, or Jump overboard. The first mate armed himself with a revolver, andjolimbed on the Stern of the boat. Indeed, every moment lex peeled to hear a report, and find myself shot by some of the brave ones behind me. The seoond f mate, who was the only real man among them all, seized a large sheath knife, and climbed into the boat to help me. I knew it would not do to attempt to strike the monster with a knife where he had room enough to defend himself; I therefore threw it down, and seized a short handspike of iron-wood. the only weapon within my reaoh, and told the seoond mate to raise the deck, and I would attempt to finish my antagonist with the club, for the thought of escaping while I oould and leaving for others te do what belonzed to me, never entered my mind. As the deck rose, I beheld him coiled up about two feet and a half from my right foot. Buffering; the aoutest agony iron me uep wound 1 had already ' given htm, he raised Lis head high out of the , midst of his huge ooiL his rd taws wide open, and his eyes flashing fire like live ooals. 1 1" tne piooa ohtll in my veins as, for an instant, we glanced into each eyes, and both instinctively realized that aim af ns two must oie on the snot. it. darted at my foot, hoping to fasten his fangs in ny canvas shoe, but I was too qaick for htm, and g hip such a blow over the head and neoK mat be was glad to nil nn miln. 1U1 K " time to nrtntn in ui tim another blow, and thus for ahont fifteen minutes 1 contiaued to strike with my might, and three or four times his jaws came within two or three inohes of my oanvas shoe. I began now to feel my strength falling, and that I could not hold out more thau a moment longer, yet in that moment, fortu nately, the carpenter got his wits together, and thonght of his broad-x, and, bringing it ia me siae oi me Doai, neia np tne handle, so that I oould seize it while the reptile was coil ing np from the last stunning blow. The next time he darted at me I gave Him a heavy cut about fifteen Inches behind his head, severing the body completely off, exoept an inoh on the under side, and, as he coiled up, this part fell over, and he fastened his teeth into his own ooilr. One out more, and I seized a rope, and in an instant I tugged him over the boat's side, across the deck, and over the ship's rail into the sea. The long trail of his blood on the deok assured me that I was indeed safe, and, drawing a long breath of relief, I thanked the Oiver of all our blessings. A Ktorj' About l.orl Hrou;; limn. In a pamphlet just published In London in reply to some of the "misrepresentations" contained In Lord Campbell's lust volume of the "Lives of the Chancellors," Lord St. Leonards tells a good story of Brougham. Lord St. Leonards (then Sir Edward Sug den) had attacked in the House of Commons Brougham's appointment of his brother to a sinecure. The next day Brougham resented the aot in '.his Iowa court, by suddenly rising while Sugden was speaking, and leaving him in the middle of a sentenoe, withedt inti mating that he was obliged to go elsewhere. The next day Brougham made a vehement attack upon Sugden in the Lords. The morn ing after the debate Sugden had to open the first case before the Chanoellor, and a orowd assembled to witness a quarrel. Brougham, however, sat with his note-book before him, and did not raise his head until he rose in the afternoon. For a long time he preserved this distant and constrained manner, until at length Sug den was compelled to visit him in his private room, to demand a certain privilege for the bar. Ashe was going to do so, Lyndhurst, who was then Chief Baron, called, and offered him, on behalf of Brougham, the place of a baron of the Exohequer, the Privy Counoil, and the Deputy Speakership of the House of Lords. Sudgen declined, and said: "Tell the Chanoellor that whilst things remain as they are, there is nothing whioh be can ever have to offer that I would accept." The interview on the business of the bar then took place. "When I entered his room," Sugden writes, "coming towards me with both hands open, he (Brougham) saluted me as an old friend." The business was soon settled, and then, in the words of Lord St. Leonards, drawiog a little back, I said, "I am afraid, before I leave this room, I must say what may be disagree able to you." "Good ttod ! what can you have to say that is disagreeable to me?" "When." I said, "I entered this room, yon held out both your hands. Taken by surprise, I aocepted one ol them. 1 am compelled to toll you that whilst things remain as they are, those are terms npon whioh we cannot meet." "Good God I have you not seen Lyndhnrstl Have you not received a letter from me?" I told him of my interview with Lyndhurst, and that I had reoeived no letter. "Well, then," he said (it was so like him), "I will give you seoondary evidence of its contents At tight o'clock in the morning, in bad, I called for pen, ink, and paper, and I wrote a let'er to Lyndhurst, but whioh was intended for .you, in which I told him that I should think it the best act oi my legal admlnlstra tion If I oould prevail npon you to accept the offers I desired him to make to you." I re mained perfectly still. He then said, "I thibk if I had been in your place I should have thought such an offer and suoh a letter a lull satisfaction." Hull 1 remained silent. Gathering himself up, and turning half away, he said. "Well, I think when a man feels that he has done wrong, the sooner he says so the better." I went np to him and gave him my hand, whioh he grasped kindly, and I said. "I am muoh obliged to yeu, and I shall never again think upon what has passed. He then said I should have the letter in tended tor me through Lord Lyndhurst. I assured him that I did not desire it; but he persisted, and aooordingly wrote to Lyndhurst, who was on circuit, and he sent the letter to me. excusing himself for having left town without showing me the letter, bnt desiring me to return it to him. I aooordingly did so, but informed him that, as Brougham stated the letter was intended for me, I had kept a copy of it. From that to bis death Brongham and I were good friends, and I cannot but look with displeasure at Campbell's life o' him. BOARDING.
