A Thrilling Adventure. The following thrilling experience is related by a gentleman who was Bent to India by an animal house at Amsterdam to procure a den of poisonous Bnakes for an American circus. It was not much of feat to secure the serpents wanted, and in a fortnight the party was ready to pull up stakes. It was on the last night of the hunter's stay in the snake regions, however, that the incident occurred which nearly coat him his life. He says: "The hut I occupied had been used as a; storehouse. On each side of the single doorway was a stout fence, made of poles, and rnnning our. about twenty-five feet, thus making a lane or passage about three ' feet wide. -When-the house- was filled with grain a ' sentinel watched at the month of this lane. Only one person ? ? could go or come at a time, and each was thus under supervision. They had slung a hammock for me, so th?? I faced the door and looked down this lane when flying on my right-side. Each night a fire was' built just at the mouth -of the -. kne, and there were so many other fires scattered about that we felt safe from tigers' Or perpents. On this night I til turned in at about ten o'clock. Half an ?%!honr later ifc began to rain heavily, and Vin a, few minutes all the fires went out. The rain continued until after midnight " and then it cleared up and the moon rose. yl had slept over ah hour, and awoke just ; as.the light of the moon came over the jungle. It shone well up the lane, and ' the. first thing my eyes rested on was a - large cobra making its way toward me. We had seen none of them in our two :l_ weeks' stay, but I knew the species the instanc I caught its motion. My two 'guns were in the hut. To spring out of the hammock and seize one of them and : ?re atthe serpent was the work often ? seconds. That was my programme, but V as I made for the first movement I found ; myself fast. I had not removed my /?? trousers,- and the buckle had workeu ; itself down among the fibers and become - fast. , "I had only time for the one effort. iS^&a&et near I must dump myself out on my knees, and the serpent was too near for that. The cobra might fiee in affright, but he was more likely to spring upon-me. And suppose there were a ' pair of them, and that the other had ;> already entered the hat I In ten seconds - after this thought came to me I was iu a ? ' cold sweat and bo weak that I could not have stood on my feet. The slight move-, men 11 had made alarmed the cobra, and , he coiled himself and waited full two min? utes before doming on again: I ought /V to move and also raise my voice, but for ; the life of me I could neither raise a fin ~>-"ger. nor utter a sound. :"The serpent might have been ten minutes crawling the fifteen feet which brought him to the hut. As soon as be , r was over the threshold he was in the . ' darkness, and I could no longer see him. I heard him crawling about over the 0 dried grass oh the floor, however, and ? knew that it was only a question of min? utes when he would seek a closer ac . quaintance with me. The cobra never f.'attacks unless cornered; it never strikes V- a sleeper. My hammock was Blung y; about three feet from the ground. Af:er iy: a few minutes I heard the snake crawl? ing towards me, and I prepared for the worst. \ "tyben I turned in.it was . very close ?j: and oppressive. ? I had therefore thrown ? ?':: the blankets out of the hammock. The ?";>; coolrrain had chilled the snake, and he ?;-!waa looking for warmth. The blankets were on the ground, and this fact pre '' rv!ehtM , hiin from * coming to the ham-: v i mock., I coald not see him, but I could -wiiearand scent him as he twined about and finally.coirled .down. When he had " - become quiet jE felt that I had a chance 1 ^ foT my life. I would wait until he was asleep/ and then make a. sudden spring Siyknd a rush. If I waited until daylight "and aroused the natives, the cobra would .. ''certainly bite ine; r "1 was cooler now, and waited from ;:; twenty ? to twenty-five minutes befoxe moving. I was just planning to dump myself out of the hammock when, the .'?i moonlight revealed a' new and unex? pected danger,, Standing at the month '{ ? of the lane, and looking in straight upon me, was a tiger. That he was an old tiger, and a man-eater, one could see . by his lordly air. Instead of coming in from the jungle, he had come across the ~?'open and cultivated land, and my hut was the first in his patch.. I did not V - believe he would enter the hut. The . ;'lane would look like a trap to him, and ? ? he would fight Bby. After looking at '. me for perhaps? two minutes the .tiger if. moved out bflsight, and- presently I; heard him stealing around the hue'to' v; . look for an opening. There was no : ; other, and he returned and surveyed me : again. While my eyes were wide open, ftS.t-I did not move a finger, and the animal, ? ;r no doubt, believed me asleep. He prob? ably saw the blankets on the ground, /but I don't think he saspected the pres ? encs of the serpent. "V "When^ the tiger finally entered the '"? opening, and began to approach me, I gave myself up for lost. With this , feeling came that of coolness, and I was never more clearheaded in my life. JTora moment I forgot the snake, but ? presently, as the tiger was within ten feet of tho doorway, I heard the serpent - ~ utter a low hiss and move about. The tiger had eyas and ears only for me. He sulked over the ground exactly as yon ^"y have seen a cat, making no more noise than a mouse. When he reached the doorway and stood with his fore paws on the threshold my heart stopped beating. Hia next move would be a spring. I -- "He would find me helpless. There was an interval of perhaps thirty seconds. - My sight went away from me; I was half dead with terror. I faintly remem? ber hearing a hiss and a snarl, and all at once I rose. The cobra and the tiger - were rolling over and over in the lane, and raising such a row that the whole village was aroused in a moment. I saw a5I the fight, bnt remembered, very little. Serpent and tiger ro]led away down the lane, and then back again, the one. hissing like a steam 'angine, and the ' other roaring and growling. In ten mutes it was over. Both were dead. _ .fainted away and was unconscious. The cobra had bitten the tiger in more' .than fifty places, and the tiger had aaed ;~ :his teeth and claws to tear his enemy." Y"-r-London Methodist Recorder. Beans and Dollar Bills. Guessing is always an amusing game for Yankees, and the Oannere' and Gro? cers' Gazette reports a trial of skill in this line which lately occurred in a B?s? ton grocery. Several customers were in the shop : chatting together, when the" grocer - pointed to a lot of pea beans, and asked v bow many of them it would take to make a bushel. A great variety of estimates was offered. One reckless person said fifty thousand, to the great amusement of the rest of the company, all of whom had gqess6d a much smaller number. "Well,gentlemen, said the storekeeper, "there are one hundred and nineteen thousand such beans in a bushel." No man was inclined to believe him at first, but he showed them that it took sixty to weigh half an ounce, and a little calculation convinced them that this large figure must be approximately cor? rect. ? ."Now, then," said the grocer, "how j many dollar bills will it take to weigh as much as a silver dollar ?" One said a hundred; another guessed ^seventy-five, and one, remembering the beans, put the figures at three hundred. "All wrong," replied-the grocer. "It stakes just twenty-two," and that also he : proved by the scales. - The new cure for stammering is to ' keep silent ten days, and then speak in ^whispers for ten days; gradually return? ing to the ordinary voice.. - Worth Knowing.?Hughes' Ton? ic, the old time, reliable remedy for fever and augue.

Mortimer Singleton, when sober, is one of the most peaceable men in the State; but when, drunk, which is frequently the case, he is disposed to be quarrelsome. The other day having niet several friends, and having lingered with them until he was not in a condition to go home, he decided to walk through the woods and across the fields until the effect of the whiskey to some extent wore away. He had proceeded but a short 'distance when he camo to a lot where Anderson's furious bull was kept. It required but little effort for Mr. Single? ton to remember the time when a bull chased him across a Ge'd "You needn't think I am afraid of you," said Singleton as he looked through a crack of the fence and frowned at the bull; "You caught me one day when I wasn't ? feeling very well, but I am not afraid of you now, I want you to under? stand. You needn't shake your head at me. First thing you know I'll come over and kick a whole side of sole leather off you. Oh, I'm not afraid, I want you to understand that. What's that?" The bull had bellowed. "Don't give me any of your slack talk. Well, I'll show you !" With that recklessness which cheap whiskey inspires, Mr. Singleton climbed over the fence, and walked, as rapidly as he could, toward the bull. The animal was so astonished at the man's effronete ry that he stood perfectly still, gazing in astonishment. When within reach, Singleton kicked the bull. The animal, losing his presence of mind in consequence of such unprece dented boldness^ wheeled around and ran. Singleton, with an air of triumph, and with loud exclamations expressive of his victory, turned and walked slowly toward the fence. The bull, soon recov? ering bis presence of mind, looked around. Then his anger rose and poured over him like a tub of hot water. With a loud bellow, he started toward the in sulten Singleton looked around, and so terrible was the aspect of the bull that the foolish fellow, whose adventure bad somewhat sobered him, took to his heels. Soon discovering that he could not reach the fence in time to avoid personalities, he turned aside and succeeded in climb ing a tree. The bull saw that he had been foiled, but he did not despair, and gazing upward he began marching around the tree. "Say," called Singleton. "I want you to go on and let me alone. I haven't time to fool around here with you. Don't you bear what I say? All right; next time I won't let you off so easily." The bull lay down a short distance from the tree. Evening came. Single ton shouted until he was hoarse. Night came, bringing with it dark clouds. A drenching rain began to fall, and by the flashes of lightning Singleton could see that the bull maintained his position. When day dawned, Singleton saw that the bull was still watching him. He had strained his eyes until he could scarcely see. Mr. SiDgieton prayed. The bull did not change position. The day wore along, and the wretched man thought that be must certainly starve to death before aid could reach him. The unfortunate man's family alarmed the neighborhood, and au extensive search was made. People thought that Singleton, insane under the influence of liquor, had gone away somewhere and killed himself. Singleton thought that he saw men goiog along the road, and he shouted, but he was so hoarse that he could scarcely hear his own voice. Just before the sun went down, some one Bhouted: "Say, Singleton, what are you doing in that tree?" "For heaven's sake," cried the wretch? ed man, "drive that bull away." "What bull!" "Don't you see him out there?" "No." "What! don't see him there?" "No, that's only a bush covered with dead leaves. Youder's the bull, about a half a mile across the pasture. He's been over there all day." Singleton came down from the tree. He made a public declaration to temper aoce and avowed his intention of becom? ing a lecturer; but whether be does or not, it is safe to presume that he will never kick another bull. Such exer? cises, according to Prof. Henry Godol phin, of the University of Physical Science, are extremely dangerous. Tbe mother's Last Journey. When the doctor came down stairs from tbe sick room of Mrs. Marshall, the whole family seemed to have arranged themselves in the hall to waylay him. "How soon will mamma dit well ?" asked little Clyde. "Can mamma come downstairs next week?" asked Katie, the eldest daughter and the little housekeeper. "Do you find ray wife much better ?" asked Mr. Marshall eagerly. He was a tall, grave man, pale with anxiety and nights of watching. The doctor did not smile; he did not even stop to answer their questions. "I am in a great hurry," be said, as he took his hat. "I must go to a patient who is dangerously ill. This evening I will call again. Ihavelelt instructions with!the nurse." But the doctor's instructions were all concerning the comfort of the patient; he was discreet and silent. Tbe children playing on the stairs were told to make no noise. Tbe day'wore on, and the patient slept and was not disturbed. But that night, before they went to bed, the children were allowed to go in and kiss their mother good-night. This privilege had been denied them of late, and their little hearts responded with joy to the invitation. Mamma was better, or she could not see them. The doctor had cured her; they would love him for it all their lives. She was very pale, but smiling, and her first words to them were: "I am going on a journey." "A journey," cried the children. "Will you take us with you?" "No; it is too long a journey." "Mamma is going to tbe South," said Katie; "the doctor has ordered her to go." "I am going to a country more beauti? ful than the lovely South," said the mother, faintly, "and I shall not come back." "Are you going alone, mamma?" asked Katie. "No," said the mother, in a low trem nlous voice, "I am not goirjg alone. My Physician is going with me. Kiss me good-bye, my dear, ones, for in the morn? ing, before you are awake, I Bhall be gone. You will come to me when you are made ready, but each must make the journey alone." In the morning she was gone. When the children awoke their father told tbem of the beautiful country at which she bad safely arrived while they slept. "How did she go? Who came for her?" they asked, with tears streaming down their checks. "A messenger from God,*' their father said solemnly. ? An early Spring?Jumping out of bed at 5 o'clock. ? The prince of Wales thinks the type writer the biggest invention of the age. ? About two weeks ago a negro on Capt. T. B. Martin's place, in Spartanburg County, took up a fine mare mule straying with bridle and saddle. Tbe mule is a bay, with white spots ou the hip, and ?bout fourteen hands high. A strange negro soon appeared and claimed it, but upon being informed that he was sus? pected of stealing it and threatened with arrest he left and has not been seen since. Capt. Martin has no doubt that the mule was stolen, but he has no intimation of the owner. ? A dentist at Rockville, Me., has successfully replanted four teeth in a boy3 mouth. Tbe boy was taken to the dentist about eight heu s after an accident, when the hemorhage had ceased. The latter replaced the fractural labial portion of the process, syringed the sockets with a solution of pbenal sodique and replaced] the teeth in their natural position. He then braided them all together with hea- j vy linen thread. Three weeks after he removed the support and found the teeth as firmly implanted as if they had Qover { been knocked out. I He Wanted In formal ion. A man who had left his team on the market and carried a whip in his hand, entered astore, andasked for the proprietor. That gentleman came forward, and the farmer said; "I want to ask you a question. You have just been married a second time, and ought to?" "Sir! What the devil do you mean ?". thundered the proprietor, in awful tones. "Why, I lost my wife a year ago, and-" "What do I care about your wife?" "And my friends are advising me to t another. I have heard it said?" ge"Get out of here 1" "Can't I inquire?" "No, sir I" "Won'tyou tell me if your second mar? riage is?" i "No, sir I Get out, or I will do you "0, I'll get out, but you needn't get mad over it. Stems to that when a man comes and asks for in fox?" "Git!" interrupted >he proprietor, as he jumped for an iron poker; and the farmer dusted, saying an he reached the door: "ThiB settles me on a second marriage. They can't be happy."

A few days ago, at Villa Rica, Ga, a mad dog went into Mr. John Hennlee's field and the children saw him before he got near to them. They started in a iun to where (heir mother was, and by this time Mrs. Henslee had discovered the vi? cious large animal, and she rum between the children and the dog, when he attack? ed her. She caught him and held him fast until her husband came and killed him. She was not bit, but wsb bruised up a good deal, and had her dress"torn. Mrs. Henslee is one of the bravest women in Georgia, and her courage put with her love for her children, is too much for'a mad dog. ? The following from the Chester Bulletin is published as a warning: "Mr. W. N. Guy, of Lowrysville, had his leg amputated on last Tuesday. Last week he paired a "corn" between his toes and on the next day took a violent pain in bis leg. On the following morning his toe was black and gangrene set in and rapid ly spread until it reached above bis knee, where the leg was amputated. ; TJie operation was performed as a last resort by Drs Anderson, Brawley, Davega, Love and McConnell. The operation was successfully performed, thelegbeing taken off above the knee.
