India's Enemies.
What the Native Population Has
to Contend Against.

?lae iaile*frora
Lucknow, and I
accepted his in
v i V?ti ou to
e|iOnd a few
wecke with
him. Ho had
about 800 acres
of land, a large
part of which
was forest and
thicket, with a
creek running
across a portion
of the estate.

neve* seen a cobra, except in zoological
gardens, when I went out there, eut I
was fated tichave an adventure almost
as QoonfasTarrKed. My-bedroom was
at a oo?neri of tbe^econd story of the
bun^a^o^ an?jrca^ias^threo windows, ;|
These were screened wit-h wire and
the sashes taken out. A hammock was
slung to hooks in the coiling, and the
room was fairly comfortable oven on
a very hot night.
Oa the third morning, just at day
breaks 1 was aroused from sleep by a
noise on the veranda which ran along
under my bedroom windows. My ham
mock wa3 within two feet of one of the
windows, and of course the wire cloth
admitted every sound from the outsida
As the grounds were guarded by two
chowkadars. or watchmen, I had no fear
of thieves, and therefore had no arms
within reach. I lay facing the window,
with my face not over thirty inches from
the screen, and was wondering what
had caused the noise, when a big cobra
suddenly lifted ?is head against the
outside or the wire, and his eyes looked
into mina For half a minute it seemed
as if my heart did not beat at alL Had
the window be^n unguarded I could not
have raised a ?ngor to ward off the at
tack. The serpent hissed at me and
moved his hideous head all over the
screonv looking for some break in its
surface. It bulged in as he pressed on
it, and, knowing how slovenly work is
done by Indian serrants, I expected it
to give way at any instant After a
couple of minutes the snake went to the
second window, and then to the third,
searching every square inch in hopes to
find a way into the room.
After he left the window directly in
front of me I might have dropped out of
the hamopock and got my revolver from
the. bureau, but it occurred .to me that
if I provoked the cobra be would he
pretty sure to make a more vigorous at
tack. I therefore lay perfectly quiet,
closed my eyes so that I could Just peep
at him, and after going over all the
windows a second and third time, 1
heard him crawling around tbe veranda.
I then dropped out, opened the door and
called to my friend, 'and he seized a
do?ble-barrer shotgun and passed
through the hails until he found the
serpent on the other side of the house.
He had given up seeking an entrance
by the windows, and was mounting to J
the roof w?en a charge of buckshot
fixed at close range through the screen
cut bim ^almost 4%i?wo. No one '.vas
at fill excited, 'ffce "incident scorned to
have no more we^bt than the visit of a
hat -\ ^
A w??k liter two of the servants ac
companied me oa a hunt around tie
neighborhood after birds. Neither
was armed, and both were barefooted,
barelegged and barearmcd. In tbe
marshy ground"^a?ong- tbe rreek I shot
severai V**ds of vtbe snipe species, and
w-a#w*e -abon* to^roes it when one of !
the natives, who .was la the lead ithd
following a psth,- ted, turned back,
and cuietly said:
44We bad bettor ?o anothct way,
"Uecaiwa thgwcrocodHo might do us
harm."
I advanced to the spot where ho had
baited, and at once made out a bu^e
His oTF.s loossd ::rro m?^s?
Sa-irian lying in tbe creek right across
.ho path, and evidently waiting tor
some one to cross. This was not over a
quarter of a rr:i?e from the bungalow,
and the Syrian had evidently ooi;>e
down the creek from a small lake about
two miles away. 1 male ready to Sro
at bim, but one of the natives touched
my arm arid respectfully suid:
"Please don't, .-uhih. If you anger
him be will bring others to ma':e u3
trouble, "
'liut ho ou?ht to bo driven away or
killed. -
,4Ycs, but when there are a thousand
more in the lake what would you
or air.?"
He seemed so earnest about It that
I turned away. That night anumber of
tbe servants crossed tbe creek to attend
so re e sort of a party, and in the morn
ing a young re an was missing. After
considerable inquiry it was decided that
the crocodile bad seized him as he at
tempted to cress the path. J said to
the native who had restrained my lire:
"Now you see what you did. Had I
killed tbe reptile the youn^ man would
have been with us thi^j ruornin^.'*
"Ah, sahib, l?ut you- might not have
kilied him, and then bo would havo
taken two of us."
About sis mTTes below Patna, on tbe
Ganges, in the Bengalee district, a
couple of English officers with whom I
was acquainted had a shooting box. and
I went up with a party to enjoy some
sport It was a wiid strip of country
along the stream, and although so near
to a village this fact did not render
game any less abundant A dozen
tigers, three or four panthers and a J
score of hyenas had been tagged thero
within two years, hut it still remained i
a favorite lurking ground for big game.
Ai a matter of curiosity I bunted up ;
the returns made to the Government ;
fron? this pla?a, and found that the
average of natives bitten by serpents,
devoured by crocodiles, or slain by .viid
beasts was over three per week the
year round. These wero the figures re
Dortod, but only one loss in three is re
ported >*y th? na?ves?. 4s they persist 1 i
believing that tho blanks sent in by
.plficiais are somehow coiincctrd with
taxation or official surveillance. Two
days before we started a native camo in
to"the civil authorities to report a caso.
He said:
"Wo were going to see cur father and
mother at Mugador (a village seven
miles away), my brother and L Wo
were in a pith crossing tho forest to
save distance. ?le was ahead. It was
abont two hours after daylight Wo
were very happy, and he was tolling mo
a story which his wife had told him,
when a tiger suddenly sprang upon him.
I stopped. Tho liger stood over bina,
with both paws upon his breast, ar?d
looked at me and growled and switched
h la tafi 1 could do nothing. I walked
backward la tho path, and the tiger
seized my brother by the shoulder, ga-ve
him a half whirl, end then trotted a way
into tho tbioket I havo been told that
it is my duty to report this."
We had been at the shooting box
three days, and had killed a dozen hy
enas, a panther, and a couple of big
snakes. There were four whito men of
us in tbo party, and we had eight or ten
native trackers and servants. On tho
fourth morning; before breakfast, 1 ran
a thorn into my foot, and was advised to
lie quiet during the day. The boose
was divided into two rooms, each about
twelve feet square, and each having"
two baxnmoolas in It. The first room
was oeed to store provisi^ms in. The

door between the two was a frame cov
ered with wire cloth. There was only
one window in each room, ami that was
provided with a sliding sash, with wire
cloth tacked over the outside. The out
side door was also a screen, but this was
left standing open during the day.
After breakfast one of the natives
fixed a poultice of loaves for my wound,
and I lay down in a hammock in tho
inner room. The three other white
men went oil up the river, accompanied
by all tho natives except two, one to
attend mo and the other to see to the
cooking. I lay facing the doors, and
had a view of the fire and a strip of
country beyond It At nino o'clock we
beard tbo reports of rifles far away.
Half * an hoar later, just as I was ele
vating my head so that I could read a
book which was at hand, 1 saw a tiger
spring upon the two men. They xvero
not at the fire, but a few feet eway,
under a tree, and their faces v.'ero
toward ma The animal had therefore
approached traseen. He knocked both
down, and struck them after they wore
down, and then stool over their pros
trate bodies, and looked at the 'orest
This was hardly ten feet from the open
door. It was so sudden that ? lost half
a minute, and by tbo ond of that time
the tiger left tho men and came to tho
door and looked in. lie probably j
scented me, for he switched his tail and !
growled, and while he stood there I saw j
blood on his neck.
My hammock had ceased swinging, |
ond I kept very oulet in Lope? the
brute would go away. He stood and j
growled and stared for a minute, and
then advanced to the inner door and \
pushed against It Had it- opened to- j
ward mo b?e could have eatbrod, bu'iit
opened tho other way. With his eyes j
and nose against the wire he growled in j
a way to send tbo chills ovor mo. but I j
foared to movo a finger for fear he ]
would make a da?h and come through j
tho cloth, .lie did rake his teeth along j
the surface, and aiso strike the wire ]
two or three times with bis paw. Ile j
must have bit the sharp ends of eomo j
of the wires the last t'.me, for be ur- j
tcred a yelp and drew back, and after i
licking his paw for a moment retreated
through the open door. As my rifle was i
in tbo furtbor room I felt i: \
prudent to lie quiet for a .time, and <
when I did ?et up the beast bad Cii.>rir>- ;
peared. I found one of tbo natives dead, !

blow, while th'i other had received a
bite in the shoulder, but was "playing

John G. Whirtier died at 4:o0 this
morning, lie passed away peacefully.
Iiis nearest relatives and Dr. Pouglass
were at hi? bedside when death came,
and he seemed to be conscious of his
surrcuiidicgs to the last moment. The
funeral will take place at Amesbury,
>Ja>s., at 2:30 p. m Saturday next.
John Greenleaf Whitticr was born
DeoeaibtT- 17, 1807, at Haverbiil,
Mass. He became a strong anti-sla
very man, and was for two years the
secretary of the American Anti-Slavery
Society. In 1838 he removed to Phil
adelphia and edited the Pennsylvania
Freeman, doing this work with so much
sincerity and vigor that the printing
of?oe of his paper was eacked and
burned. In 1810 ho became a resident
cf Amesbury, Mass., where he resided
during the remainder of his life.
A Chinaman, discharged on account
of the boycott, turned to his late em
