The prongs would open and his neck

"cradle'' is a semi-cvlinder, with the

was accused of having stolen some
money, and with bis wife was put to

died in tbe cradle.
Next we were conducted through

out of the solid rock, to a small vault.
There facing the wall, we saw the
celebrated "Eisorne Jungfrau," an
iron figure of a woman, about eight
feet high. Tbe figure is divided all
the way down from side to side, and
the front balf, divided again so as to
make doors, attached by hinges, at

A full century ago the eiistence of
oil springs in Western Pennsylvania
was a published and well established
fact. In tbe Muachvetts Magazine,
published in 1789, we find the follow
ing in regard to tbem:
"In tbe northern part of Pennt-yl
vania there is a creek called Oil
Creek, which empties into tbe Alle
gheny river. It issues from a spring,
on tbe top of which floats an oil, sim
ilar to tbat called Barbadoes tar, and
from which one may gather several
gallons a day.
Tbe troops sent to guard the West
ern posu baited at the same spring,
collected some of tbe oil and bathed
their joints with it This gave tbem
great relief from the rheumatism, with
which' they were afflicted. Tbe
water, of which tbe troops drank
freely, operated as a gentle purge."
There is still earlier evidence of the
existence of the oil springs than this.
It is fonnd in an old book, published
in 1772, entitled "Travelers in Narth
America," by Tetcr Kahm. On a '
map in this volume tbe exact loca
tion of tbe oil springs is given.
We take this from an exchange;
but it is still far behind. As early
as 1629, almost a century and a half
before Kakm'a book appeared, a
French miasioaary, Joseph da la
Roche d'Allion, who crossed the Ni
agara River into what is now New
Yerk State, wrote a letter, in whirh
he mentions the oil springs, and gives
the Indian name of the place, which
tt tipla nel to mean nhera is plenty
there." His letter was printed in
Sarard's "nistoire da Canada," in
1632, and subsequently in La Cherq.

than three hours passing through the

Some idea may be formed of the

ered satin, may give some idea ol the
wealth lavished on this more tban
princely mansion. The costliest
paintings adorn the walls, and toe

The idea f the Baron seems to bave
been to build and furnish a mansion
such as no other person in England,
except perhaps tbe Iuke of West
minister, could hope to rival.
Tbe stud is said to contain more
hiizh bred horses than anv in the

Favonius 12,000 were refused, and
for Maccaroni 17,100 were but re

I was fortunate in getting an in
troduction to Mentmore through an
acquaintance I made in Lngland.

is no access to tbe mansion. I saw,

paper. What ncitT we ass in wonder
ment. Why, next varnish them which
w ill bring out the colors and help to pre
serve them ; or, leave them as they are,
f you consider that varnish gives them
too artificial a look. The end of a sperma
ceti candle rubbed on the iron, which is
then applied to the leaf without protect
ing it by paper, sometimes works nicely ;
and sometimes the leaves curl up as though
animated by the total depravity known as
'pure cussednesa." Sometimes the leaves
are dipped singly, vrilhout ironing them.

is also considered an excellent preserver.
Sheets of newspaper sewed together into
a thick pamphlet, which is well filled with
leaves, and then placed between two mat
tresses to be judiciously slept on, are rec
ommended as a particularly nice way of
preparing these autumn treasures ; but
there should be two pamphlets and the
leaves changed from one to the other
every day, in order lo keep them perfectly
dry. We tried this plan once and it work

A friend yesterday gave u? an ac
count of a desperate fight which b
recently witnessed between a cotton
mouth or highland moccasin snake,
about three and a balf feet long, and
a large rat. Tbe 6gbt had evidently
been going on under the picking
room of a gin house, near which our
friend and a companion were stand
ing. In the struggle thecombatants
came from beneath the bouse and
within a few feet of them. Tbe rat
was evidently tbe assailing party
and would rush upon bis antagonist
with the fury of a small hyena. The
snake would occasionally make its
coil, and strike tbe rat, knocking bim
two feet. .Nothing daunted, bower
er, be would return to the assault,
oiling the snake wherever be could
catch hold, and shaking bim like
te-rier killing a rat. At times the
snake would get him in its folds, but
the little leiiow would struggle out
from tbe dangerous embrace. Both
combatants seemed totally obliviou
of tbe presence of tbe gentlemen, al
though tbey followed alter tbem only
fire or six feet distant. Tbe snake
frequently endeavored to escape bv
climbing a cotton stalk, but the rat
would seize him by tbe tail, tearing
tbe flesh away and finally palling
bim down, though several times tbe
snake lifted him over a foot from the
ground. They fought in this man
ner at least fifty yards across the
patch cf cotton 2Atleng;h tbe snake
stretched itself out, to all appearan
ces dead, wben tbe rat took a posi
tion two or three yards off, and qui
etly sat down and licked bimself,
keeping a keen eye on tbe gentlemen,
tbouab apparently without any fear
of tbem. One of tbem struck tbe
snake on tbe bead, which killed it,
even it it were not dead before. The
flesh was almost entirely torn off for
at least a foot op its tail, which wis
done whib it was climbing cotton
stalks. The gentlemen left, and were
absent half an hour. On their re
turn to see wb'il bad finally become
of lhe victorious rat. neither rat nor

ed at intervals the old gun in the distance, j
at every discharge laying a soldier slid
and stark in death, wilh unerring accura
cy. Shift their positions as they might,
the gun would bang away, and with a hiss
and a thud, thero would be oue soldier
less. The diiection ot tbe nnng was as
-named, and lhe entire regiment or per-
ty was ordered to charge toward it with
out knowledge where or what it was. on
they went, losing a man at ever few paces.
Nothing was accomplished, and the party
returned leaving lhe murderous gun crack-,
ins away us they retreated. Shortly af
terward the olJ lire lock was heard again
with her murderous music. It was re
solved al all hazards to find and capture
the internal machine.
Alter persistent efforts, a tall, raw bon
ed, grizzle-bearded, large sized Texas
rano.-r niui discovered in the foliaue ot a
tall ti'ee, from among the branches of
which he was picking oi his toes as he
had picked off hundreds before. With his
iron vissage, piercing eye and unquailiug
nerve, there he sat, fierce as the untamed
jaguar. Brought to bay, he continued to
loid and shoot with deadly aim till brought
down, and the famous gun was captured.
It afterward fell into the hands of the late
Bone Lucas, and finally friend Winans be
came and is now its custodian. It is a gun
of immense calibre, being nearly eiht
feet long, with a smoothe bore, single bar
rel, lame enough to admit of a small sized
walnut. It is quite a curiosity, and an in
teresting relic of the past, and could its
muzzic talk, it could tell of many death
dealing shots that had passed its steel rim-
md and blazing lips.

"And what," says some one skeptically,
do you propose doinz with that box of
dried leaves ?" We purpose putting them
away until the remembrance of their glow
ing coloring, when on their native trees,
is in a measure dimmed possibly until
Christmas ; then we purpose bringing them
forth, varnishing them and making them
into various shapes of beauty. A Thanks
giving cr jes of medium-sized leaves, mixed
with dried grasses and berries, is always
desirable ; and transparencies, wre albs
and picture-frame ornaments are very
effective. Single leaves caught here and
there on white curtains produce beautiful
effects, and a cornice of large leaves sew
ed on paste board is a charming head
ing for snowy draperies. "But they

A Petrified Forest in .evadn.
From David Hideout, who lias been en
gaged in preparing section ot a petrified
tree for the Centennial Exhibition, we
learn the following relative to the petriS
ed forest in the desert of northwestern
Humboldt.
On the plain, about thirty miles west of
the Blackrock mountains, stands one of
t he greatest natural curiosities ever dis
covered ia Nevada. It is a petrified for
est, iu which the slumps of many of the
trees, now changed into solid rock, are
still standing. There are no other trees
or vegetation of any kind other than stun
ted sage brush in tiii vicinity. Some of
those ancient giants oi a forest which nour
ished perhaps thousands of years ago,
when the climate ot Nevada was undoubt
edly more tavorable lor the luxuriant
vegetation than at present, rival in size
the trees ot California. Stumps, trans
formed into solid rock, Bland in an up
right potation with their ruou imbedded
in the soil, as when growing, measured
from 15 to 20 feet in circumference ; the
ground in the vicinity is strewn wilh
trunks and limbs, which retain the natural
bhai and site. Mr. Hideout, determined
to secure a section of one of these trees tor
the Centennial Exhibition wilh two other
men tj tut twelve days cutting it from the
the stump. This was accomplished by
drilling all around the tree and separating
it with wedges. The specimen u 3 iecl
hkh and 18 leet in circumference, and its !
estimated weight is three tons. It stands
on the stump from which it was severed,
ready to be loaded on a wagon. Mr.
