of their adventure! about as follows:
k'lns miles from the month of Cotton
wood creek, up the stream, in a bar
ren wilderness of acrubby undergrowth
aud bowlders and rocks aud stone. To
stuud ou tlio verduut alioro of thin tea of waste
land, ono would naturally conclude that they
were mauy mile away from nowhere, aud, for
aught they knew, wero the 11 rut to dincoror this
blank ava of waste, barren, worthies, fly.
apeck on the ahirt-frout of crevtion. The men
were ou a Ashing expedition, and started
Wednesday morning from the mouth of the
Minnehaha stream to wend and wsdo thoir way
toward its source, when thuv reached the spot
above mentioned. Hero night overreached
theni, and having a lunch, they built a tire and
made themselves sa couifortaklo ai possible ou
tbo surface of a scraggy moaned rock.
Heing tired and footsore, as toon a their
scanty repaid was eagerly devoured they wero
toon reveling iu dreams that, perhaps, aro
more or lesa pleasant to tho mind while Hitting
iu tho realm of audi fancies. One of the parly
had not been tangled with Morpheus long until
he was awakened by something choking him,
and feeling, fouud his atranuo collar was cold
and alimy. It wu a very tine specimen of the
black specie, which wa girding hi throttle iu
its anything but loving embrace. The mounter
wuh loon dispatehcd, aud the party wero about
to lie down alter ridding themselves of his
nakeahip, when they found by the aid of the
dying cuihcra and the atsistutiu) afforded by
the quarter moon that they wero literully sur
rounded by tho venom-tongned trailer. Two
of the party proposed to decamp for a more con
genial climo, but whon about to leavo the rock
thoy found themselves trampling on a living
sea of serpent. Tho hisniug and rattling be
came mors, audible, aud it wai but a few min
utes until it was leud a ordinary touod voice.
Tho men, finding themselves thut surrounded,
broko branches from the stubby undergrowth
of piues and commonced Uniting the sea of dart
ing, hissing snakes. Kealizing that they bad
an all-night job, they added fuel to the (lie and
oommenrod tho killing in earnest. Tho light
and noiso teemed to awaken the whole barren
wasto Into a tempest of hissing and rattliog.
Each becan tlio slaughter with redoubled Tigor,
trying to tight his way to the stream, some hun
dred yard away dowu a slanting hill. They
would gaiu a few paces of the distance, only to
bo driven back again to tho rock. The rat
tling and hissing became so loud that their
voice were not audible unless close by. The
sound wa aoinothing like four or live wheat
separators In operation at one timo. It wa
terrible. The hair on their head was standing
straight and stiff tike tbo wires on a pateut hair
brush. Their hands and arm wero blood
stained to their elbows, and the tteuch from
the snaky battle-livid wa sickening in the ex
treme. One hour after tho first snake was
killed no less than 0OUU lie sluiu, and they kept
coming thicker and faster. The sound became
hideous, and soon tho moon disappeared and
the three llshermen felt that hell had sweeter
charms than the placo it seomod their fato to
dio iu. Two of the men were bitten, and their
legs and arms begun to swell aud pain badly,
aud they frequently had to rest and permit one
t i do tlio killing of three.
Tho hours wore slowly by and tho slaughter
was kept up as best they could. At last morn
ing caiuo mid lifted the curtain of night from
a most appalling scene. For fifty feet all
around tho huge rock lay a heap of Biuuued,
squirming and dead euakes. A far as they
euuld see all around the barren wasto was a
seething tide of reptiles that came toward tho
rock with maddening fury. Concluding that
they might as well earn death by a dearer fate
they made ready to run for tho stream, think
ing that it they gained tho other sidu they
would have a butter chauce to caro for their
wounds. Leaping as far us possible from the
rock, frantic, struggling, bitten and wild with
pain, they plunged into the water and reached
tho other side, completely orercoiuo by the
toniblo ordeal wl pansed through, and, after
sometime, bandaged their blading and swollen
limbs. Ity D o'clock they wero sufliciiutly re
covered to continue to Cottouwood springs,
where they took tbo lirnt train to Leadville to
secure medical aid, arriving here laxt night.

adders, vipers, copperheads, rattlers, milk,

doctor says tho men aio not fatally bitten, but
it will be somo time before tho swelling and
pain will disappear. They leavo on to-night's
train for their respective honns, Iceliug that
they havo had enough ll-diing aud auabuudauco
of snakes for ouu excursion.

From the Sow York lb'rahl.
In the spring ol'ISlO Edgar Allen Pop), with
his invalid wile aud his mother-in-law, moved
from the noiso and bustle of New York life to
a small cottogo iu tho quiet village of Ford
ham. This co tin go was sold ou Saturday un
der foreclosure for $7500. The plaiutitT. Mr.
Nolsoti Strang, was the purchaser.
Near the house was a .vringa, planted by
tho poet. It is s tall, struggling bush, iu
keening with its surroundings. Bending dowu
a liliio Mrs. Dockert broke a handful oi the
fragrant flowers, and, giving them to her
visitor, sent him awny, saying: "Von have
seen tho cottage; you can hoar something of its
master by calling on Mrs. Cromwell."
P Turning to the right at tho llrst corner and

M'lll.tUiliaU AUJ10UI.
The soldier's lifo in these piping times of
peace is not so full of excitement a ho might
wish, but l by no mean as unpleasant a ha
been pictured. Many young men who enlist
are fascinated by the uniforms, tales of the re
bellion aud a life of ease, a it teem to them;
and when they Mud that they aro expected to
work nine hour a day the enthusiasm is
dampened and thoy waut to got out. From tho
dissatisfaction of this class has doubtless arisen
the prejudice against peaceful army lifo. Hut
there is another side to the question. Tho av
erage soldier i uneducated, has no trade and
would have to work a a common laborer if
dischaig' d. It ia said, however, that ho would
gut more pay, and ao it seems at a glun.o, but
there is really very liltlo difference between
tho remuneration of the soldier and
laborer. Tho former receives from tho
government hi board, clothe, and from $13
to tii a month. The averago i not fur from
$IH, or $H10 a year. The day laborer working
30(1 days a year at $2 a day receives $C0U. As
good board and lodging as the soldier ha will
cost at least $5 a week, or $2o0 a year. Deduct
ing this and $100 for clothes from his full pay,
he has left $210, or $21 a year moio than a
soldier. But tho men aro not all uneducated.
One or two iu the service here havo been
through college and many are well-read. Some
men enlist to receive the restraint which the
oldier is necessarily held under. Aud this is
on way in wbicb army lifo doei good. A man
whoso passion tor liquor is irresistible cannot
doviso a safer protection than that of tho army.
The live of mauy men have unquestionably
been prolonged by the restriction under which
they have been placed. This restraint is,
of course, irktomo and disugroeable, but it is
iome men's only salvation.
Dissatisfied soldiers resort to all sorts of ex
pedient to get sway. One German said yester
day that be got "to drunk ash never vas" in
the hope that ho would bo discharged, but tho
scheme wa too transparent. Desertions have
become so frequent that Oeneral bherinan ar
gue that it would be advisable to lessen tbo
soldior's w- rk; but it is a strange fact that
quito a large percentage of deserters afterward
givo themselves up. It is seldom that any two
give the samo reason for coming back. One
could not overcome the fascination, which had
iucroased while he served; another ropemed
from conscientious motives, and still auotber
found tbat his lot as a soldier wasu't so very
hard after all. But tho prejudice against
army life has become to strong
that there aro very few enlistments
nowadays, and men will probably have to be
transferred from line service to till five places
oon to bo vacated here by soldiers who have
served their time. It ia often wondered what
modo of lifo is chosen after 11 vo years in the
army, but there is very seldom any difficulty iu
a discharged soldier's obtaining a place. Borne
of them make the most of their time wheu in
tbo service, and come out lltttd for positions
which they wero wholly unablo to till whon
they enlisted. Many become policemen, and
almost invariably make, good ones. Fully one
half of tho Washington police forco is corn
no ed of discharged soldiers, and ono of
Springfield's best otlieerslivod ten years within
tho irou knee.tijHiiiffJiehl Mwn.) Jlrp'. b

Ono of tho most remarkable exhibitions of
skill ever seen iu Leadville was witnessed on
Wednesday afternoon by a Chronic!?, reporter,
Tho skill of Indians In throwing tho tomahawk
and shooting with tbo bow nud arrow is well
known. Tho reporter, who was of a doubting
tnru of mind, requested Mr. Allen to let biiu
see a little of too Indian's cxperlness. Mr.
Allen gladly consented to tho newsmun's re
quest, and taking tlio latter into tbo
littlo room where the N'uvujo Indians
lodge, tho former told Shilo, who can
sneak English, his mission. Shilo gladly
consented, and the reporter waf requested to
stand against the wall with a largo aioilo on
top of his hat. The newsman trembled lest ho
should bo deprived of his scalp and what little
brains he had been endowed with scattered on
the wall, llelng reassured by Shilo that no
harm would conio to him, he stood up, but
with closul eyis. With a whiz tho tomahawk
was thrown by Uhilo's trained nrm, tho upple
was cut iu two aud tho tomahawk was lodged
in the wall. Thrco times in succes
sion was tlio skillful feat performed.
At Mr. Allen's; request the chief,
Waitoma, who is ono of tho party of In
dian, was called upon for sn exhibition
of his skill. At first tho aged Navajo declined
to comply with the request, but on Shilo's tell
ing him that the white man would be displeased
if he dil not do so, he picked up a bow. An
old hat was placed on the reporter's head, and
once more that individual was placed against
the wall as a target, aud as he stood th.-ro he
thought that his days wore numbered. Tho
old chief examined his bow carefully, and
picking up an arrow adjusted it with a quick
movement, took aim, aud, like a II sh, tho arrow
(lew, piercing tho hat and pinning it to the
wall. Six times Waitcma pierced the hat with
arrows within a radius of six iuches.
