Suimuelinniin, .Tun. C HIU "Wheeler
and Sam "Wescott uro the most expert
coon huntcis In ull this section. For
j ems tills pair have tiavelecl over the
hills utul mountains hereabouts. They
are always tiyliiK a new method to cap
ture the coon. Theli very latest
scheme was to tibo ltoinan candles.
The other night they stnited out. The
dogs soon lalsed a coon, chasing It
tlnougli a imiBh and deep ravine anil
up a locky spur tin the north side of
the town. Bill and Sam had a ttiesome
walk befoie they came up to the dogs,
which were balking under a large
tiee. A toich vns lighted and "Wes
cott fired at what he supposed was
a coon, but nothing came down, Then
13111 tried his new plan. "Wescott had
no faith In the Idea, and us he was
ridiculing his companion a meat ball
of Hie from a. Koman candle illumin
ated space. Hall after ball was shot
up a tiee. The animal's fur caught
flie and the coon fell down thtough
the blanches of the tree. A second
later the (lames weie smotheted as
the coon was killed by the dogs. Dur
ing the fire of the candle Whalen
caught sight of another coon and put
a bullet tluough his head and the ani
mal fell dead at his feot. Another
candle was lighted and the thlid coon
was sighted. Whalen had by this time
Income quite an expert, and with a
steady aim he hit the limb to which
the animal clung. It lost its hold and
ftll umong the waiting dogs, by which
It nn quickly killed. The .same night
six moie coons were bagged by the
same method

AN OPHIDIAN MYTH.
A conespondenl ot the New York
Woild gives a luminous account of the
pianks of a hoop-snake, which is said
to have taken its tail in its mouth
and lolled instead of ciawled over
seveial acies of 1 md. The stoiy was
a good one, but as a faithful fiiend of
lacts, I am compelled to state that
theie is nothing In the reptile species
appioaching a hoop-snake. The stoiy
about a snuko putting its tail In its
mouth and rolling around the eountiy
like a b.mel hoop was originally stait
ed by Bli Pel kins, the great-gieat-giaudunclc
of Tom Ochlltiee, of Texas.

TUB SIAMBSB SNAKES.
A fanner near Montrose recently suc
ceeded In capturing a snake or pair ot
snukes conespondlng to the Siamese
twins. The leptlle has two heads and
two tails, and the balance of the body
looks like that of a .single snake, with
the exception of a slight depiesslon
both above and below, extending the
entiie length. The bodies join about
six Inches fiom the head, the tails are
almost a foot long, after leav ing the
bodv, while the length of the ptopoi
tlon Joined is two feet and nine Inches.
The twins were (list seen seveial
months since by a little son of the
fanner, who told his father what he
hud seen und showed him the Hack
crossing the load. The farmer made a
thoiough seaich at the time, but failed
to captuie the prize He, howevei, un
earthed it a few days ago while blast
ing a lock, and succeeded In noosing it
and taking it captive. Both the snakes

to, and the second was referred to the
committee on foreign relations
In a long speech on the subject of
thee resolutions tho case of Charles
these lesolutlons the case of Chas. Gov
in was discussed quite as much as that
of auguilly. The statements of the
Spanish officials that Covin's death re
sulted from wounds received in battle
were discredited; and the asseition was
repeated, on the authority of a peison
whom Mi. Call did not name, but who,
he said, was to be a member of the
next congress, that Oovln had been
tied to a tree and cut to pieces with
machetes by a squad of caalry tiding
past Tho two cases, Mr Call said,
were types of what was occurring to
hundiods of Ameilcan citizens In Cu
ba, and It onlv needed ln estimation by
the senate to "take the cover off that
scene of butcheiy," As to a combina
tion of Euiope.m powers against the
United States, Mr. Call declared that
thereSvas no danger of such a thing In
lev of the effect which It would have
on the masses of the people In Euro
pean countries, and that the sympa
thies of mankind would be with the
Ameilcan lepubllc In such a struggle.
An adeise leport from the commit
tee on foreign lelatlons on the claim of
John S. Waller, United States ronsul at
Madagascar, against France, for dam

A lesolutlon was offeied by Mr. Hale,
of Maine, and agreed to, calling on
the secietary of state for a statement
concerning the action of the piesldent
or ot the secietary of state, touching
the lecognitlon of any foreign people
or powci, as an Independent govern

afternoon, hy a vote of 111 to 101, pass
ed the bill lntioduced by Mi. Loud,
chairman of the committee on post
ollices and post loads, to amend the
laws relating to second class mail mat

an hour speech In lavor of the bill,
piecedlng which Messi.s. MUliken,
Maine; Wangor, Pennsvlvanlii, Tia

and liingham, Pennsylvania, addiess
ed the huuse in opposition to the bill.
The two houis devoted to a consideia

uile was pioductlve of no change in
the text, as lefem-d to the committee
of the whole, and at 4 o'clock It was
icpotted to the house for llnal action.
Immediately after the leading of the
journal, Mr. Giosvenui, of Ohio, ad
dressed the house on a question of pei
sonal pi I liege. He called attention to
the laet that a lesolutlon lntioduced
by him and adopted b the house Juno
5 last, calling upon the heads of the
seveial departments for certain infot
mation, as to tho operation of the
civil sen Ice law has as yet leeeived no
response from any one of the cabinet
office! s. He felt -justified, he said, In
lalslng the question whether or not
congiess had been pioperly tiented In
this tegaul, expressing the opinion
that this silence of seen months
showed that the heads of the several
departments as well as the executive
himself had begun to ignore the de
mands of congiess. A resolution ask
ing each cabinet officer to Infoim the
house why no i espouse had been made
to the original resolution was agieed
to without division.
