r V -s - ? f Turkish Etiquette and Diuncr Customs. On occasions of ceremony, writes a trav? ler in Turkey, it is the custom for the slaves to place themselves one on each side of the new arrival, and, thus carefully supported from the elbow, the i Mussulman lady allows lierseit to De. slowly and laboriously escorted upward. To a " Frank " this constrained move- i ment is, to say the least of it, unpleasant; but as a mark of great^ittention it has to be endured, and the slight infliction is soon ended, the reception rooms of the family being rarely higher than the first floor. A slave raising a heavy curtain of camel's hair embroidered* with ' gold, we iind Zeheira Khanum waiting to bid us welcome, and to assist a hurrie I chauge of dress; for the sunset sig-; nal is now rolling over Stamboul from each of its numerous battenes, the j guests and children are already seated spoon in hand; u slim Circassian girl waits to pour water over the hands from a ewer of richly ornamented silver, while another holds the soft towel embroidered with gold thread which we take with us to the table, and in a few minutes we are in the places of honor reserved for the strange ladies. Two tables had been arranged on the matting of the "sofa" (the central hall). They are formed of disks of burnished brass, about four feet in diameter, placed on a low stool; beneath this is spread a large square, which is often of silk woven with gold threads, and soft enshions are laid around. Jn some rich houses these diuing-disks, called "tepessy," are made of solid silver. An Eastern woman taking her place at the " tepessy " (scarcely a foot and a half above the ground) sinks upon her cushion in the most graceful manner imaginable, but the feat is by no means so easy of accom- ! plishment by a " Frank." It is neces- i sary to be so placed as to have the right arm free to reach with ease the dish placed in the center of the table; you endeavor, perhaps, to kneel in an easy way, but the cushion is soft and yield- i ing, and there is danger of an unexpected over-balance amongst the saucers of pickle and sweetmeat; you sit back, but your spoon makes vague anu useless ad- | vances toward the distant soup-bowl; j you turn sideways, to find that you are scarcely showing due politeness to the mistress of the house, upon whom you have deliberately turned your back. It j is bewildering. At length a pitying "calfa" briugs forward a little stool, aud with infinite precaution your feet: are slipped beneath the low tray, and ! there they are condemned to remain, , immovable, until the end of the repast, as an ill-advised movement might easily ; overturn the banquet. It is needless tc expatiate on the torture which is some- j times thus silently endured, but it is ! undeniable that the ease of position conferred by prosaic tables and chairs more i than counterbalances the picturesque effect and Oriental charm of crouching round a Turkish "tepessy." This method of dining almost on the ground ! and of eating with the fingers is rarely now adopted, all "civilized" Oriental families taking kindly to our Western ! customs in this resDect: but even the most Europeanized amongst them return, during the month of Ramazan, to the primitive habits of their ancestors. ! ? The Largest Snake in America. One of the largest snakes on record was recently killed in Louisiana, ac-1 cording to tne Shreveport Times, which says: We were yesterday informed by Mr. Smith, living on Quapaw bayou, that while he and his son William, aged about thirteen years, were out in the j woods on Monday afternoon last, driving 1 up their cattle, their attention was attracted by the bleating of a calf some j distance from* tliem. Thinking proba- : bly the pdor animal had bogged, they ' started to its assistance. They had gone only a short distance down the bayou j ( when they discovered a yearling in the coils of a huge snake, the body of which j was suspended from the limb of a black i i gum tree about twenty feet from the j, ground, and which projected from the j ( bank immediately over the water. Mr. j | Smith and his son were almost terrorstricken at the sight, and stood speech- j less for several moments, unconsciously j. watching the movement of the huge rep qu li*? onf.win**.! Aivtmiil tliA ' ' already dead body of the yearling, and j at every coil of the snake they could hear the bones of the calf break. After coiling itself around the lifeless form of j the yearling and crushing every bone in j its body, the serpent let loose its hold from the tree and dropped down along-! side of its victim and began licking it all over, prepar >tory, it is supposed, to1 swallowing it. About this time Mr. I Smith recovered his semes, and, after 1 watching the monster snake open its ; capa ious mouth several times, he fired on it with his rifle, striking it near the : head, and was quickly followed by his son, who discharged a double-barrei gun I loaded with buckshot. Both reloaded as quick as possible and again fired on | his snakeship. In the meantime the reptile lyuTcoiled itself into a huge mass, j and was making a hissing sound that could be heard fully 100 yards, and was protruding his forked tongue several feet After discharging about a dozen volleys each, Mr. Smith and his son ; succeeded in despatching one of the j largest snakes ever seen in Louisiana, ; and, probably, North America. It measured thirty-one feet in length, and the body measured, ten feet from the head, thirty inches in circumference, and about the center of the body about fortv-two inches. It has a regular succession of spots, black and yellow, alternating, extending from its head to its x tail, while either side is a deep purple. ( Mr. Smith has no idea what kind of a c snake it is, but thinks it must be of the g boa-constriotor species. No doubt this t bnuKe una lor rnauy ^years luuaouea mar -y section of the country, and depredated , upon the young calves and animals that i t came within its reach. The skin of this ? huge snake has been preserved, and will j ? be sent to Shreveport and put on exhi- |?] bition. 1 ' WHITE SAVAGES AND BED. i I c Cm. Sheridan R?'ateian Incident that Oc- v carred in U#>A Battle Between the ^ Nez Perces and Biackfeet Indians. The Chicago Times prints the follow- r ing Indian stories as related by Gen. ? Sheridan : It was away back in 1856. ! The Yakimas, who were just then in a state of insurrection, had come to the j ^ Cascades of Columbia and killed a number of men and women, and mutilated the remains. I was ordered with my j ? company to the C isoades. An Indian J r named Spencer, a Chinook, who was a i r consistent friend of the whites, was at t that time rendering good service as a c guide, aud his family, consisting of eight v persons, including several women and j v children, started to come through the ! a woods to my camp, but failing to arrive I at t he tira9 they were expected, I sent j li a detail of soldiers to search for them. I t The whole family had been followed into . c the timber by white villains and murvler- v ed. The manner of their murder was ' e uniqne in its ahvocitv. Evidentlv thev f b I I 1 lmd been compelled to 6ent themself in a circle upon the ground. The whites had untwisted a piece of rope, and with the different strauds had strangled the family. A hempen twist, drawn so tight as to have cut into the flesh, was wound round each throat, and the signs indicated that the victims had been tortnvo/l Kv Trorv clrnv Bfranimlfltinn. The At seven o ciock one Saturday morning recently, while Henry Raucli was engaged in the work of cleaning out a well, forty feet deep, on Stephen Matthews' place, at Painesville, Ohio, i the whole side slid in, burying the man j alive. The alarm immediately spread , all over the village, and people turned ! out en masse, willing to do all in their | power to rescue their neighbor. The ! almost herculean wofk was placed under i charge of the mayor. No one expected | to find aught at the bottom of the debris I except the mangled corpse, but no less j willingly was the work prosecuted. Relays were formed, and as soon as one man gave out another took his place, i A short distance from the surface curbing was placed in order to keep the; treacherous earth from again falling in, i and the work was pushed on. At dark | but a little portion of the real work had been done, aud those who had hope of; fiuding the man alive were completely : discouraged. It was thought that if he j had escaped being crushed or suffocated, he must die-cf dampness or cold. But : the work was pushed on rigorously by the light of lanterns and torches. One ' curb after another was put down, and the men toilel on. Midnight came, and most of the crowd had left, but bucket-; ful after bucketful of stones and earth were constantly ascending from the awful pit. At length the bottom was nearly 1 reached, when one of the workmen called ; jut: " Henry, where are you 2" Dis-; tinctly, though muffled by the earth, same the auswer: "Onthe side toward 1 town." During all the terrible eighteen ! hours he had been in the living tomb ; Raucli had kept the points of the compass in his mind, and this probably saved him at a critical moment. Great care was ndw taken not to strike the man's head or to permit the debris to cave in i iround him. In a few moments his head md shoulders, then his whole body was extricated. He was given r.everal cups )f hot coffee and some bread, and after i a short sleep was able to walk home. Ranch's description of his sensations while in the well are very interesting. ' Se had not moved a muscle, he said, luring the time. He had a slight breath- j ng space afforded him by means of the ! rope by which he was lowered. One j irm bent and raised supported a large 1 jtoue, and the stone rested on the back )f his neck.. He was delirious with ap- j prehension much of the time, thought >f everything ho had ever done, prayed md wept, heard the men at work from ;he first, and when they stopped once 1 le gave up all hope. It seemed to him ! le was in the well a week at least. m j A Novel Battle. The other day a novel battle was witlessed at one of the leadirfg restaurants >n Market street, Harrisburg, Pa., ac-: sordine to tliA Prifrint A lareft rat bv K>me means got into an empty barrel in he oellar of the place referred to, and vas unable to free itself. The barrel vas brought out and into it were placed wo full grown f-pecimens of the hardsell crab. The crabs opened the battle, md 14 went" for the rodent in fine style. Che rat, actiDg apparently in self-defence, mdeavored to ward off the sharp claw hrusts of the shell fish, raoking his in- 1 iiinot, no doubt how to make 44 deviled" :rabs out of his foes before the fight rould be ended. The attack and defense j vere watched by many interested in latural history, all day long, but before undown the rat went to the happy feedug grounds of all rodents?the crabs laving killed it without being any the vorse for wear. i Dr. Dodds is the Dr. Mary Walker of It.

She is a regular practicing ihysician, well-to-do and wears a dress j mlike anything else in nature?a man's rousers, confined at the bottom rather losely, a garment in place of a ooat, rhich is neither coat nor cloak, and a hat thich is neither male nor female in char-' cter.

By the time the villains had finished the mother their supply of rope was exhausted, and instead of removing the tie from one of the throats, they choked the baby to death with a handkerchief, which they left with the corpse. " I suppose," added the general, 44 these men murdered that peaceable party?the family of a man who was doing us a kind service?out of revenge for the murders that had been committed by the Iudians at the Cascades. I did everything to discover the perpetrators of the outrage, but could get no clue to them at alL" Near Pierre's Hole?a long basin situated between the no h and south forks of the Snake river?a terrific battle was oncefought by the Nez Percesand Blackfeet. That was twenty-five or thirty years ago. The Nez Perces had, as was their custom, gone over into that region to hunt, and had fallen in with some trappers, between whom and themselves the most friendly and cordial relation had always existed. The trappers looked to a French Canadian as their leader. The Blackfeet hearing that the Nez Perces were there, and feeling disposed to regard them as intruders and tresspassers, went over the mountain to clean them out. Sublette took command of the Nez Perces and led them into the light with the Blackfeet. The battle, which was fought on an open piece of ground, lasted two days, the firing at times being at close range and very fierce. A great many were killed and wounded on both sides, and the Blackfeet were not only repulsed but were forced to retire across the mountains, hotly pursued and harrassed by the victorious tribe. One of the chiefs of the Nez Perces was badly wounded in that fight. At that time lie was what would be called an old man. After a long siege of it he got well. Years afterward he became a man of influence among his people, and for some reason or other he became known to the whites in Idaho and Washington territories by the cognomen of " Lawyer," and by that appellation he is still known. He was a kind of peace-maker, and was regarded as a pretty good friend of the white man ; but when the recent outbreak occurred he joined his fortunes with those of Joseph, and, despite his great age, betook himself to the war-path. He must be the oldest " lawyer" on the Pacific coast, and, his years and probable decrepitude considered, it is a marvel how lie kept up with his command. Buried Alive for Eighteen Honrs. Susie and the Prairie Fire. Just at tho meeting-place of a wide i prairie and a deep forest, stood, many ! years ago, a little log house. Within dwelt a giil by the name of i Susie. She did not live alone, for the ! honse was full with her parents and older brothers and sisters. But my story is of her, the youngest and the pet of all. It would take long to tell the city girls of to-day how Susie lived and knew what it was to be happy. When the log house had stood in its place about three years, and had been 1 i ___l 9 nlntA>m/v I Ult'UUUW lunuiu IUC wiuuvixx ?^? ' she reached the end of the field and looked out on the broken prairie, i Stretching out of sight on either hand i was a red line of flame rising toward the | sky, and covering it with a dense cloud j of smoke. The sparks flew in every direction, and many, yes, very many, were brought by occasional puffs of wind near to where she stood. But she soon ; made a discovery which caused her to i forget the distant Are. Some sparks had ' lit in the dry grass by the rail fence not J far away. The grass had kindled and I the blaze was spreading and beginning to curl around the rails, and just on the ; other side was her father's cornfield. It j was but the work of a moment to find ? j stout stick, and then Susie's labor be- I gan. How intently she beat the grass and stamped dii it with her little shoes ? She soon found that she was really smothering the flames, and though her face and hands were hot and her arms ached, she kept on until not one spark was left, and only the burnt grass and' slightly blackened rails were left to show what Susie had done. 1 "But, oh! I'm so tired," she said. " I wish I could find papa." Her tired ; limbs soon gave out, and she sank down with sobs which would come into her : throat. Alone and in the dark and tired out, no wonder the tears fell as , she lay on the grass, until her sobs , grew less and sleep shut her eyelids < down. ] After a while, when the fire had been extinguished, her father reached home i to find the house in commotion. j "Oh, father! have you seen Susie?" i said his wife, coming to him with terror j in her face. .< "Susie! is she gone?" he said, hoarse- ( ly, for he was very tiied. " She is lost! We have searched the whole place and called and called, but we can't find her anywhere." " Mother," said the oldest daughter, : "might she not have followed father to 1 the fields?" j "The child! the poor darling! per- 1 haps she did ; and who knows into what \ danger she has gone ? The wolves are around to-night," and she shuddered , with fear. " Mother," said her husband, " she is ' in God's hands, wherever she may be. ] Come, boys, we will search the fields ] and he hastened out with a lantern, while j his sons and neighbors who had returned i with him followed with such means of j light as they could obtain. It did not take long to trace Susie to ] her resting-place, for they knew she ; would follow in the direction she had seen them take. When her father paused not far from the path over which he j had passed a short time ago, put the lantern down hastily and took her in his arms, what a shout went up from those ] who were near! Her mother and sisters, who had followed the others, crowded around with tears of joy. Awakened by i the noise and light, she lifted her head, bewildered, but when she saw her father j she said, in a sleepy voice: " Papa, I did help put out the lire, i ; kept it from burning up the corn." And t then her tired head sank back on his < shoulder,and she fell asleep.?New York ! Tribune. ; A farmer-woman in Canada last fall i plowed seventeen acres of land.

CiU8p U UUCl covt-reu UV arms of the forest vines, Susie noticed one afternoon a great commotion in the household. The neighbors who lived nearest came and talked to her father out in the meadow with hurried, excited j voices. Her brothers hastened to put on their heavy boots and stout leather mittens. While her mother and sisters went round with troubled faces, all the ! men hurried off together to the prairie ?how far she could not see in the gathering darkness. Soon after, the wind, 1 which came in slight puffs from the direction in which they hail gone,brought with it the smell of smoke. " Say, mamma, where has papa gone, and what makes everybody look so frightened?" said Susie pressing close . to her mother's side with the sobs coming in her voice. : "Susie, dear, don't be frightened? i don't cry, but4 be mamma's little woman, j It is prairie fire, and papa and the boys j have gone to help put it out." "Will it come here, mamma?will it burn our house ?" { " No, dear, I hope not. It is. a long way off, and the men will burn some of the grass, not far from the fields, so that ! when the big fire comes there it will ' 8top, because there will be nothing for it to burn." Then her mother hurried away to see that coffee was made and food prepared , for the men who would be up all night.

Out here lay her father's corn fields, and there came the dreadful fire, i ready to devour them. ! Then a thought flashed into her mind. : Susie was a courageous little girl, and i had energy enough for two. Perhaps j she might help put out the fire. Her mother and sister were too busy to notice her movements.
