There has been some solicitude of lute among mon who note the signs of the seasons about the unusually long time that has elapsed since the last snake story, but all appre hensions are now happily set at rest by tho arrival of a now story, the extreme bigness of which explains satisfactorily why it has been so lunar on the way. It is said that during the lute flood caused by tho breaking of levees on the Upper Mississippi a farmer was rambling mood ily over his acres in a rowboat, when a little snake, whose aacostors bad proba bly handed down the Btory of how the familv escanod annihilation bv the treat original flood, darted into his boat. Then another, who presumably had heard the Noah's ark story, invited himself in, and others followed thick and fast until the owner of the boat had not as much room in the boat as he desired for himself. Be sides ho had not provisioned his boat with reference to any such passengers; so, fearing that tho reptiles might be tempted to eat him instead of each other, he wont overboard and managed to get ashore. The boat was afterward found drifting about filled to the gunwales with snakes, most of whom were taken ashore tho narrator inadvertently fails to say how and killed. This is cer tainly tho champion snake story of the year, but thero is ono trouble about it. There, are distilleries in Illinois, and be tween snakes in boats and snakes in boots the.ro is only the difference of a letter. The Beuoabs and Victims op Char ity. lt is impossible to calculate the waste of time and of money with which this whole irregular machinery of public charity is kept at work. Persons are in duced to give to objects of which they know nothing. They give, and they fancy they have done with it, until the claimant, in due course, reappears, as importunate as ever, aud with something of a prescriptive right on his side. Beg ging is fast becoming a profession. It has its well-known roles and cautions, its literary style and manner and tone, of voice, its various methods of approach to suit every case. Its victims proper would not feel flattered if they knew how their faults and weaknesses, their virtues and their vices, are described, when the soft-spoken applicant is off duty, or how they are kept on record for his future guidance. Each may be sure that in some phrase or other he has been duly written down an ass. There is no malice in the description; there is scarcely a bare flavor of half unconscious contempt. Of course the roan is an ass; he would be of less nse otherwise for the professional beggars purpose, lo the rest of the world he may be a well-to-do 'sanire, or a wealthy banker, or a merchant trades man who has reurea with a fortune larger than he knows how to employ. Bat all these are disguises which the professional begjrar very soon strips off. ilia concern is with the man under them. and be differs from bis fellows in the de gree) of skill and assurance with which he manages to reach this.

Sarah Ucrnhardt's Expectations. . Sarah Bernhardt is said to have the hiirhost expectations of her professional and social success in this country. She may not be disappointed in tho former, though she will bo very likely, in the lat ter. Her reception ut the best houses, as they are considered, in London, and the vogue she otained there will hardly be repeated here. We are very fond of novelty, we love the sensational, and affect tho eccentric, but it is ques tionable if we ever allow any disposition of this sort snch latitude as our English kinsmen have. They have undergone a marked change from the constitutional conservatism within a few years. The fact that the t rench actress is tho mother of four children of probably different pa ternity and yet not a wife, and that she proclaims her contempt for marriage, ap- Iioars to have liecn a recommendation to English society, which certainly acted very foolishly about her, and hnmored her caprices to the top of her bent. How ever we may admire her on the stag( and she is well worthy of admiration there we shall lie apt to restrain our en thusiasm for a woman who defies the con ventionalities, and ninny of the decencies of life, not so much from impetuosity and impulse as from a desire to arouse at tention and advertise herself. We must overlook all moral offenses for the sake nf art, as thev often do in Taris, especi ally w hen we know that the artist, as in IScrnhardt s case practices charlatanism for pecuniary ends. If she will surrender her hopes of being sooiallv lionized in the republic, and turn her mind exclu sively to her dramatic triumphs, she may save herself considerable disappointment. She boasts of being a spoiled child, and she gives herself all the airs and oddities of one. But her spoiled childhood is deliberately assnmed. Tbe is thirty -five or thirty-six, and her over youthful and transparently affecteJ ways are now, if thev ever were, no longer graceful. We understand perfectly that she goes to barbarous America for financial rea sons, and we are entirely willing to pat ronize her lumdsomelv. Ye prefer to ilraw the line there. Whib we aro char itable enouph in opinion, we do not con sider arrogant and actively promulgated incontinence in an actress as an addition al and stronger claim upon our favor. Moat European performers count this as a land of dollars ; but it is not of neces sity, as many of them think, a land of dolts as welL Garcock ana Bantteld. Anythitig rel ating to the personal habits and predilections of the candi. dates is of extreme value, and it is in view of this that we take ploasuro in recording here General Garcock's ex cessive fondness for bnso ball. r has boon known to go without his dinner many u time in order to secure a good scat at a Lull inatcb and is particularly ond of getting aa close behind the catcher us possible in which position he sometimes, in cases of foul, receives the bull with acuto relish on tho end of his nose. It is this practice which has given to that feature its peculiarly heroic and indomitable aspect. The general bus a large pieco of furnituro at big. bouse, containing innumerable small drawers, in which are pigeon holed a. vast number of fuels concerning base ball players and base bull statistics of its growth and its inflnonee on the politics and commerco of tho coun try. This is accompanied by an elaborate system of indexes referring to tbe knowledge thus accumulated. It is expected that wboo tbe general takes his place in the executive chair, a White House nine will be formed from members of tho cabinet and their assistants; another composodof senators, and still another in the house. This will open quite a new field in national politics, and it is probable that many embarrassing differences and dead-locks will be settled at the bat, instead of in de bate, with greater expeditiousness and a marked improvement in the health of tho political world." "lianficld is an enthusiast in the uso of the lawn-mower. It is & glorious sight in these warm July days to see him moving along at a rapid but steady paco over a large expanse of grass, shaving off tho superfluous half-inch of vegetation with an unerring baud, tvhile the perspiration pours in musical rills from his brow. Cincinnatus at his plow was not a moro exalted type of a bucolic statesman than llanticld trundling the lawn mower. When ho has shaved a strip of lawn with especial success he is as pleased as a boy with tho achievement, and will pause to gaze at it with an air of ruitisfuctiou, uttering a hearty laugh at the same time, such is bis innate simplicity and goodness of heart. Tbe general is also passionately fond of bicycling, but on account of its tendency to make the rider round shouldered and knock-kneed he in. dulgos but raroly in this sport. Asa mode of salubrious exercise he con. sidcrs practice with tho lawn mower superior to riding on a bicycle. It is supposod, however, that if olectod he will go to the inauguration ceremo nies mounted on a 'silent steed,' with delegations from the leading bicycle clubs of the country accompanying him. An artillery company, torn porarily armed with lawn-mowers in stoad of cannon, will form the guard of honor on that occasion. It is pleasant to reflect that, whichever candidate receives a majority of tbe electoral vote in .November, these simple out-door sports will bo' well represented in tho government. G. P.
