Mentetir and niyscif were walking
tramitnlly up a wooden ravine m ( ah
furtiia when a woodman on the hillside
some distance alxive us, tixik his pipe
out of his mouth, and tranquilly re
marked :
"tineas you fellers jest its well go
back."
It is one of m v rules in life never to
ask useless questions, i went ikick.
And in a few moments I found out why.
The sound of chopping and the swish
of the saw suddenly ceased, and a long,
mournful cry rang through the wixxls.
It was the warning note of the wood
man.
The top of a tall tree some distance
ihead of us tiegan to tremble slightly.
There was an awful, prolonged groan
such a groan as might come from the
hairy breast of the imprisoned giant be
neath Mount -Etna. Then came a
sharp 'cr.uk!" as the mighty tree
trunk su:ipHi!. 1 he tall monster slow
ly and magestically moved toward the
earth. There was a terrible crash as it
smote the branches from its fellow- trees
smiting them cleanly its with a schne-
tar. There was a mar as of thunder
when it struck the ground; the earth
trembled for rods around, as if an earth
quake shock were iiimui us; a cloud of
dust rose up, and when it cleared away
the impassive wimhIiiicu were stripping
the fallen giant of his limbs.
Inasmuch as the tree fell Uxm the
exact sjtot we had occupied a moment
lietore we understixHl and appreciated
the remark of the laconic woodman.
We watched the woodmen prepare an
immense log. alxiut twelve feet iu dia
meter. They drove in the staple, and
then hitched to it tweutv oxen ten
he. The goad-lx-arer punched his
animals, swore at them in a pjeasant
mil iK'i'suitsive voice, and they starteil.
The mammoth log groaned slightly.

much curiositv to see what had ln-come
f the t went v oxen. I exected to see
them out of sight, as an Irishman might
siv, bv reason of the sudden slackening
f the immense tension.
Thrv were not out of sight, but they
were the most miscellaneous, most con
fused and most disgusted oxen I ever
saw iu my life. They were engaged in
turning twenty distinct, complicated
and rapid somersaults.
Menteur, in telling this story, invari
ably ends it by saying that each ox lit

In lt4 1. outside of Xew Orleans
there was, txrhaps, no more delightful
place of resort than at the 15a you
111 iilge. It was par exrilU net the great
suburban attraction at that tune, ana
bet ween boating parties on the waters
of the bavoii and card reunions over
the tables of old liarleduc's gambling
salixm out there, the jtumste doree of
New Orleans ot that dav, managed
quite comfortably to while away many
a leisure moment, l'ossiblv no two
young gentlemen enjoyed the quiet hos
pitality of liarledtie more than Alphouse
Kiviere and Ilenn lA-lagrave; 111 tact
most of their afternoons were stx-nt in
the dimlv-lighted saloon of the old ga
mester, at whose shrine all the card-
loving clement of the city paid homage,
There was a quiet air alxrut the place
that seenied almost religious, and even
the parchment faced old man, who me
chanically handled the little ivory ball
111 roulette, called out the niiinlx-rs m a
repressed voice as if he feared to dis
tuib the quiet. The faint "click" of
the "chilis" as eager players dallied
with them, was perhas the loudest
sound to lx- heard there, and even that
came t tlie ear in a sulxlued way. On
the Iloor a bright covering of matting
hushed the footsteps, while at the win
dows dark vellow curtains let iu only
just enough light for the illumination
of the gaming tables. Tho place was
the resort of a large liuinU r of gentle
men, and on some occasions plantations
and negroes have changed hands over
the green cloth of this then famous es
tablishment. Kiviere was a dashing fellow of 22,
with a large estate in the iiarish of .St.
James, and a round account in the old
Union Hank, lie had Kissed success
fully through the Ecole l'olv technique
in i ranee, had taken a bout in Algeria

lished ami companionable a gentleman
as one could wish to ckat with. He
was fond of his horses, his wine and a
quiet game of cauls, la-lined in his
milliner and digmlitsl in his deport
ment, he was a warm favorite wher
ever lie went, anil his entry into oil
liarlediic's establishment was always
the signal for a cordial greeting from
all who might In; present.
On this particular June afternoon Ki

le.iH-d from his buggy in front ut a sa
lixm, and throw ing Hie reins to the
negro servant, told hnn to drive the
horse into the shade of the iecau trees
in the yard. .Switching a delicate,
ivory-headed cane with a nervous, jerky
milium, he crossed the broad gallery,
and unannounced entered the gamb

wrapi-d in attention to their game, but
one there was who till nisi his head at
lhe entrance of lhe litst coiner. This
wits lH-lagrave. He felt thai a crisis
was at hand, but even with this know
ledge he did not strive to elude itscoui

cepted as the Ix-trothed lover of Mine.
Ceie.-lin, one of the most beautiful and
wealthy widowsot lhe lower coast, and
Kiviere, who had been for the pitst
year her most devoted admirer, was left
lo nurse his ilisappoiiilliiciil as an un
successful suitor, liiv icre had had no
hesitancy 111 letting the World know
that he wanted to marry the coquettish
little widow and, further, he, iu a Very
plain way, gave people the mloi malum
that he una not want uilciioix-rs jutying
their devoirs at the same shrine. These
matters are haul to arrange exactly its
one would wish. One liiuls much dilti

Keiosiiig iu the little box the four
little glola-s seemed the couiiteriart of
each other. The closest scrutiny would
not develop the slightest difference.
Nature alone through the physiological
alembic of the human stomach can tell
of their probities. In one there rests
the pall of eternity, the struggle for
breath, the failing of sight, the pano
rama of years rushing in an instant
through the mind, the silence and iace
of sleep for evermore, the cerements,
the burial case, the solemn cortege and
the close noisome atmosphere of the
grave. All these were contained in
one of these little pellets, lx-lagrave,
having won the first choice, stepx-d
forward and took a pill. With a calm
ness which was frigid he placed it 011
his tongue and with a cup of claret,
handed him bv the dM.-tor, washed it
down.
And now, M. Kiviere," said tin
doctor. Kiviere extended his hand and
took a pill. Like his opponent he swal
lowed it.
The two men stood looking one ano

as well as watching his adversary. One

man had black patches on the knees ot
his grav pants, a leather lx-lt 111 place of
siisciiders, and he chewed plug to-

with a vigor which would have earned
him two dollars a day in any other lo

A few days ago a young man named
W illi.un W inters, who resides 111 1'errv
township. Ohio, wits directed bv his
father to go out into a field ou a farm
bordering on Kig Nut Creek and d
laurels, desiring to abolish the grow th
of this shrub. The young man aruiei:
himself with a double-kirreled shot-gun
and pnx-eeded to the place, which was
ou a hillside, a wild and romantic place
with everything indicating the habita
tion of jaiisonous reptiles and wild and
vicious animals, lhe voting man set
his gun against a tree near the foot of
the hill and, stepping off a distance of
alxiut sixty feet, began to dig up the
laurels. Presently his attention was
attracted bv a rustling noise iu the
bushes alxive him, and, hxtking in that
direction. h presently discovered the
head of a monstrous beast or reptile, In
could not tell which, ltximiiig up alxive
the bushes. It at once starteil toward;
him with its mouth o?n until the jaws
appeared to lx? twelve inches apart, dis
playing a red, forked, poisonous tongue
and ivory teeth two inches long. Tlie
beast or serix-nt. or whatever it Wits,
whistled and roared iu a frightful man
ner, and came plunging on towards hnn
with green, glaring eyeballs protruding
from a massive head at least twelve
inches broad, and a mouth suH'u-ietillv
large almost to swallow his whole lxxlv
Winters became frightened and ran for
his gun, upon reaching which he turned
and lired one barrel into the monster.
w hich turned its direction. He watched
its half serpentine, half leaping move
ments for a few moments. Then it ran
up a large ix.plar and entered a hole,
and inters hurried home and informed
not only his own family but a niiinU-r
ot neighlxirs, ot the strange, alaruuu;
sight he had seen, and a (xisse of tliein,
armed with axe and gun, went to the
scene. 1 hey determined to cut the tree
down, and while two of them did the
chopping the remainder of them stixxl
guard, with their guns leveled 011 the
hole w here the lx-ast orserient entered.
Their lalxr was in vain, however, its a
thorough examination ot the tree alter
it had Ix-eu felled disclosed the fact that
the monster had escael la-fore the)
arrived.
Mr. Winters says that the lif-.tst or
reptile he saw was from 8 to 1J feet
long, with a lxxly its large as a telegraph
hiIc. It had legs alxiut 4 invhes long.a
brown lxxlv that was hairless, and a
head sliaia-d like a shark. The neigh
borhixxl is much alarmed alxiut the
presence of this strange prixluctioii of
nature, and will spare no means to cap
ture it.
