. eblp whioh was bound for Hong Kong via Sai

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

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.
