THE HOTEL OLERK.
Tin: liYcly iiiiiiist'iiii'iitforrospomU'iit
of tliu Clilvitgo Tribune Kt'ts off thu fol
lowing, which will ho niiprceliitcil liy
all who tiro In the habit of putronlziiiir
tlu hotels of that or tiny other city :
l npiiroacli you In n tlnilil franio of
mind to-day, with n fow liL'sltatlnft
words on tho stiliject of hotel clerks.
And I appeal to you, 0,omnicieiice,
H tliero a greater peivon on earth than
tlio hotel clerk ?
1 have come to tho conclusion that
there is not.
Kavlhly potentates, philosophers, war
riors nnd poet.s dwarf In cnmpnrNon.
My eyes are open to the enormity of
my Ignoranco nnd I freely own that I
did wronR in asking Hint yotinj; man
with the nlco hair and .stunning vest,
If ho would glvo me n room on tlio rc
ond Iloor. I do not lilamo hltn that he
looked at mo through his eyo-glaxes,
willi a tootli-piek in his mouth, for ten
minutes ; that he then said ho would be
back in a minute nnd went olf to nlav
billiards; that hn was gono half an hour
and camo back and read half a dozen
notes from widows In tho house ; that
he then looked up nml aikcd nie what I
wanted; and then ho sent mo to the
llftli story. AH this r ought to have
expected.
Hut tho look ho gavo mo was cruel.
Tho glance which commenced at tho
top of my hat and wont to tho too of
my boot, was too much. "Was It not
enough toovinco his superiority by or
dering mo to the fifth story? Wliv cx-
po-o mo to that chilling look? I know
that I should havo begged that nice
young mail's pardon for spoalclng to
mm, but ono cannot always remember
hotel otiipirtto.
nd I went up to my den in tho fifth
story thoroughly convinced that I had
no rights a hotel clerk was hound to re-
-pect, and f did not c.t.o to look at him
lifter that, and I paid my bill through
the proxy of n man nnd a brother who
knew tho hotel clerk better than I did.
Xext to being Khauof T.irtary, or
Tycoon of Japan, I would ho a hotel
clerk. Hols a subject of interest only
second to Rtnuun's gorilla a being so
far elevated abiivo tho petlv strifes and
cares ot tho world thai, ho can look
down from his altitude upon as all and
smilingly consign us to the devil if it
so ple.tso him ,i compound of arro-
unco, self-complacency, don't e.ire-a-
ciwsatls-eness, and utter disregard of or-
llnary human beings, so strongly com
pounded that it becomes sublime.
And I always revere sublimity of this
description. When liu sent mo to tlio
filth story with a carpet bag in each
hand, I did not complain. I kis-cd the
hand that smote.
All that ho does Is done with an air
of superiority. Do you doslro to ascer.
tain what time tho train departs? Uo
relets you to the office of tho company,
and don't know where It is. On you
want to know wlicro Hangs k Co, do
btisliie--,? He waves you to tho dlreo
tory of some other city and replaces his
whole mind on his tooth-pick. Ask him
fiirsoino tickets to an ovenlng's perfor.
mancHiit the tlieatro, mid ho will cru-1
you with a glance, us much as to say
do I lnokliku a man lu a box-olllco?
lie Isi master of all ho surveys, abso
lute in his sway, wonderful In bis make
up, express and admiral In his func
Hons. Ilo knows everybody, and has a
front seat at the opera. When ho puts
his whoio mind on a carpet bag he can
tell at a glance whether It contains a
shirt and u tooth-brush or a first-class
trousteau, and ho can grade men Into
their rooms by their coat buttons with
Iho utmost, ease.
Oullnary Impudence Usually gets
snubbed, hut tln'I'O ilniM not live it lll.lli
with courage enough to snub tlio hotel
clerk. Ills Impudence N allied to gout
us. It has taken him years to reach It
and tliu painful hours of study ho ha
given to tho characteristics of the tooth
pick aro something wonderful to thinli
of.
When I rellro from tho pomps and
vanities of this world, O, Tribune, anil
havo no further Interest In sublunary
matter. I hope to ho it hotel clerk.
can eoucelvu of uu epitaph moro im
pnudvo than the touching words "Ho
was n hotel clerk."
A (it'Nii man and n young woman

THE BIG SNAKE OP 0 ANA AN,
CONNECTICUT.
A (;oliui:sl'ONDKNT of tliu Cough
kenpsln Dally Ihylc denies tlio report
recently published In tho Amenla
Times, that tho big snake which lias
furnished a local sensation for Canaan,
Conn., has been shot, or that liny ono
attempted to shoot It, but declares that
an ordinary shot gun would havo no
moro effect upon It than a pop-gun on
nn Iron-clad, nnd a man would bo called
crazy who nttemptcd It. Of Hi history
nnd appearance ho gives tho following
graphic account:
" It has been seen every morning for
tho last fifteen years in nearly tho samo
spot. It was seen but a short timo ago
by n gentleman of tho highest respecta
bility, who Is well known nnd no ono
would think of doubting his statements.
Ills name Is A. lloardnian, it skillful
machinist, recently employed by Mr.
Ames lu, the manufacture of his cele
brated wrought Iron cannon at Fulls
Village. Mr. H. wai passlngnlong the
highway whero the snako had been gen
erally seen, not thinking anything
about It, when suddenly hisoyo caught
fomcthlnglylng under a largo elm tree,
which looked llko the shadow ofnlargo
limb. Its shining brilliancy and tho
real shadow of the tree being opposite
from where from whero tho object lay,
tho thought hwtantly entered his mind
that It was nothing less than tho big
snako ho had heard so much about, and
so It proved to bo for It Instantjy start
ed for the swamp. Tho animal having
to cross a road, ho had a fair view of
his snakeship. A thrill of horror
rushed through Ids veins as the mon
ster crushed Its way through tho brush
with nlniost tho speed of lightning into
thu swamp, and was almost immediate
ly lost to sight. Mr. Iloardmau thinks
it w uld measure thirty Inches around
its body lu thu largest place. In fact,
It appeared to be nearly of one size, ex
cept three feet from tho end of the tall,
which tapered considerably towards tho
end. Its length ho should judgo to bo
not far from twenty-eight or thirty
feet. Its skin was so black nnd bright
that It fairly dazzled. Tho farmers In
tho vicinity complain less of thu depre
dations of tho animal than formerly.
On the borders of tho swamp whero It
lives, grazo largo herds of cows, and It
is among theso that It gets its living.
tho owners of these cows havo forsomo
time tut wondered why somo of their
best milkers had railed to glvo their
Usual quantity of milk; nsitis only In
the morning tho owners miss It, they
havecomoto tho conclusion that the
nake sucks them, and thus gets Its liv
ing. It Is well known that snakes aro
fond of warm milk, and It is this kind
of food, no doubt, that has caused this
one to grow to such immense propor
tions. Tliero Is it reward of ono hundred
ilollars oll'ered by a private citizen for
Its capture alive, nnd fifty If killed.
There Is a strong pressure bearing on
tlio town authorities to offer n reward
largo enough to securo its capturo or
destruction, and tho subject will bo
brought before our annual town meet
ing tho first Monday in October. Hun
dro Is who tittendocMho camp meeting
lately held hero camo moro foi tho pur-
po-o of seeing whero this monstersnako
lived, than to seek for tho straight nnd
narrow way. Kow could bs induced to
stay on tlio ground nights for fear it
might mako them a visit.
It was thlsouo tiling moro than any
otner mat ni.itlo tlio meeting almost a
failure, One man has determined to
ell his farm nnd leas-o tlio place. His
wife has already left and says sho will
never live on the place again until tho
snako is killed. Tliero is a perfect pan
Ic among tho people, and what will bo
tho result tlmo only can determine.
PAsnvon "Tact'es," and "Huttetfleld
on Picket Duty," admirable nnd Inter-
estlngas thoy aro to men of blood-thirsty
tastes and habits, havo nevertheless
been mado tho subject of criticism by
subalterns whno practical experience
In tlio field entitles their opinions to ho
received witli respect. Wo wore moved
to say this by way of introducing an
incident f cut to us by a party who must
be nnexcesslvotjiiaker, ns bo signs him
self "A Quaker Friend." Tlio Friend
says:
liefore tho army of the Potomac
moved on Its grand march across tho
Itapldan, and theuco to Petersburg, n
board of officers was In session examin

fieneral Gibbon was President. Captain
M'Annlly "I.lttlo Mse," of tlio Sixty-

(I. put this question :
"Captain, what think you of 'Cnsoy

"Knysay, did ye my, Oineral ?"
"Yes, Casey."
"Xotfllneral Kaysiy."?" said Mac,
with ii merry twlnklo lu his eye,
"Yes (ieneral Casey."
"Well, fliueral, nil I've got lo say Is,
that 1 don't think much of him, fur
thtoppetl hi in at Fair Oaks !" whlcli
was literally true, Man being under
Couch, who checked Casey's Hying troops
and encountered tho fieneral himself.
Tho (ieneral proceeded : Well, Cap
tain, what do you think of 'Hutterllohl

"Not Olueral lliittorfiold, sure ?" snld

"Then I don't think much or him,

MIUArjUI.OlM IISUAVKI'IIOM INSTANT
DEATH.
Oni: of tho most miraculous and
frightful accidents wo havo over been
called upon to record occurred lu this
place, on Friday morning last. Helow
wo glvo tho full particulars :
Xo onu ofour town or neighborhood
has heard, without pain, of tho unfor
tunate death of Oeorgo Shaffer, tho cir
cumstances of which wore truly appall
ing. Ilo had retired, it scorns, to Ida
room soon nftcr tho arrlvnl of tho lato
train from I'ottsvllic, on Thursday
night, on which ho was engaged, nnd
after undressing for bed, had gono to
the window to close tlio shutters, and
lu reaching out to unfasten them, lost
Ids halanco nnd fell to tho porch below,
a distanco of somo forty foct. Tlio room
Is on tho fourth! floor of tho Itcppllcr
Ilotisonnd tho window is very near tho
floor. Tho fall produced n fracturo of
tho thigh and a compound fracturo of
tho loft leg, driving ono of tho frag
ments somo distanco through tho He.sh.
This occurred nbout midnight, and ho
lay where ho foil, partially conscious,
but unable to moveor glvo nny alarm,
until between five and six in the morn
ing, when ho was discovered by (.'apt.
Lolb who was on Ids way to tho Post
Dfilce. Ilo was carried to a room and
physicians immediately summoned,
wlio could find no other external evi
dences of injury, except thoso already
mentioned. The most astonishing fea
turoDf tho accident was that ho was
not Instantly killed, but after receiving
so sovero injuries, nnd lying exposed to
a cold night air, with no other clothing
than a shirt, ho was found after nearly
six hours perfectly conscious and sonst
blo of indescribable pain. Ho passed
through Friday much in tho samo con
dition, the powers of lll'u struggling but
feebly for tho mastery. On Saturday
there seemed moro of an attempt at re
action, and ho rallied and seemed lively,
and disposed to eonvurso naturally
with Ills friends. About noon the phy
sicians thought It safe to administer
chloroform and reduco tho fractures, of
tho leg, which they did successfully.
Through tho remainder of Saturday ho
continue to Improve apparently, until
that night, when symptoms of concuss
ion of tho brain nnd spine began to de
velop themselves. Theso symptoms
continued to increase through tho night
and on Sunday morning ho becamo en
tirely unconscious, and continued so,
rapidly sinking, until Monday morning
at eight o'clock, when hooxpired.
I!y this truly nppalllng accident, our
community has received it shock from
which it will bo long in recovering.
Thus has passed from among us ono of
our most promising young men, a
mostamlablo companion in tho social
circle, and u generous, energetic and
popular business man. Of this tho
anxiety and unceasing attentions of his
many friends, was a gratifying evi
dence, whilst tho faithful and untiring
devotion of tlio truly noblo hostess of
tho ltepplier Houso to tho slightest
wants of tho sufferer, must ever com
mand tlio respect and gratitude of a
largoclrcle of friends. Athlantl Advo
cate. ItrritALiSM is not to bo permitted to
crush out, without a struggle, tho noblo
spirit of Protestantism that pervade;
this country. The great West is coTn-
lug up manfully to tlio contest. Illinois,
through her city of Freeport.scnds forth
no uncertain sound. In that goodly
city resides Mr. S , a clover gentle
man, brought up in tho strictest rules
of Prosbyterlaulsm so much so that,
until within a few years past, ho had
never listened to thu Liturgy of "tlio
Church." Ho is, besides, an active Radi
cal politician. During tho early part of
Hticlianau's administration Kplscopal
services were fur tlio first time held in
Freeport, in tho Presbyterian Church,
kindly tendered for that purposo by the
trusteos, one of whom wis S . In
company with u friend ho attended,
deporting himself with becoming gravi
ty until tlio prayer "For the President
of the United States and all others In
Authority" was read. This was too
much for ids Republicanism. Turning
to Ills frlond, ho said : "Lot's get out of
this! that fellow's it Copperhead!"
nnd they left. Through thu elibrts of n
Piisoyitu constable of the town ho has
lnce been Induced to ruviuw hi opinion,
n (I Is now regarded as 'Sound.

As for Instance a member of com
pany r . l ourleenth X. C. 1, by tho
way, the company with which Govern
or Vuiico entered tho warns captain
was giving Ids friends at homo an ac
count of a very fierce fight on tho Pen
Insula. Ho said: "Wo woro inarching
through a thick wood to flank a portion
of tbu enemy, and Just as wo entered
thu edge of an old field, three or four
Yankeo batteries opened on us at short
range, with grape and canister. Such
a storm I never saw since 1 was born I
The colonel shouted out, 'Ilo down,' nnd
down wo fell quick, but tlio dirt unil
gravel How all over us, and there was
not a thing In the world to shield us
from the terrible storm, and wo had to
just liu still and takult."
"Why didn't you get behind u tree?"

"Tree, the devil," said company F,
"there wasn't enough trees for tho of

A JlATItlMONIAL INCIDKNT. Tlio
Lowistown Democrat says tho follow
ing Incident occurred In Juniata county
n short tlmongo i A rather good look
ing stranger, engaged lu peddling spec
tacles, visited thohousoofa farmer and
exhibited his stock to thu old lady. Shu j
men several, aim unaiiy one suited ner
exactly, hut she had "no money to buy
with." Peddler pressed her to purchase.
Sho reiterated tlio fact that sho had uo
money, but Jokingly remarked. "I'll
trado ono of my daughters for a pair of
spectacles." Upon tills tho eldest of tho
two girls spokoup "You needn't trade
mo, mother, for J won't huvo him."
Thereupon tho peddler turned to tho
younger and said, "Woll.wlll you havo
mo?" Tho nnswer was promptly,
"Yesl" Accordingly tho spectacles
wcro handed over, and arrangements nt
onco mado for tho wedding. That night
tho happy pair (who had novor scon
ench other before that day), woro united
in me noiy bands of matrimony by
Ksqulro Ii. A Hhort honeymoon of
three days passed pleasantly enough,
tho peddler going out on a trading ex
pedition each morning and returning
faithfully In the evening. All seemed
delighted, the old folks as well as tho
. . .. 1
young, the new-made husband being
exceedingly nmiauio and apparently a
perfect gentleman. Ono or two nights
ho absented himself, but made satisfac
tory explanation of tho circumstance,
and besides mado additional ttmends by
presenting Ids wifu wlthasum of money
sulllclent to buy a new dress nnd pair
of shofs, botli of whlcli she very much
needed
Another night tho family roof
covered tlio gay spectacle man, but that
was thu last. Ho took his departure
next morning ns usual, but failed to re
turn at even, and, (to make it longstory
short), has never been seen by the In
terested parties since. Who ho is and
whero he camo from, nro alike myster
ies, and as for the name ho went by
whilst making his Interesting sojourn
in Lost Creek Valley, that was proba
bly assumed for the occasion, and will
hardly help to dlscovor whither ho has
gone.
Anr.L Phukins, of S , had a spite
against Squire IJ of tho samo town.
bomo one remarked In his hearing ono
day that the squire was a mean man.
"Mean," said Abel, "guses ho is. Ayard
of black tape would mako him a suit of
mourning, and then ho'd havo onougii
left for a weed on ids hat,"
"What do you call this?" said Mr.
Jones, gently tnpplnghis breakfast with
his fork.
"Call it?" snarled the landlady,"what
do you call It?"
"Well, really," said Mr. Jones, re
flectively, "I don't know. Thero is
hardly hair enough in it for mortar, j
but there is too much if intended for
hash." I
A now styloof hoop skirt issliortly to
be introduced, whlcli will enable u lady ance, since I missed my bottle of Hour
and gentleman to walk together more bon, last night," replied the old gentlc-
convenientiy.
A littlo girl was very fond ot preach
Ingto her dolls. Her mother overboard
