SNAKES IN IRELAND. tu j-alrlea's Work Cndon ay a Tp,y AM'I" Miewaian. from Ireland comei the newa tht kei btve appeared In that country. Jt seems that about Ave yean ago a 'una named Wilson cam trom America with a show of llTing- wild anl- It Da landed his thow at Queens Mwn and fare exhibitions op through Irtla'nd with more or les success. But ana nl(fbt at the little town of Amraugh, in Tipp"1-' Mr" WilHon "ot erJ drunk and attempted to clean out his ibow. The constabulary force uht to Interfere, and (whether as a means of self-dofonse or In a spirit of humor, I know not) Mr. Wilson turned . m t,e wild animals loose. Of course tbisoreatcd a torrlble uproar, and for a week the neighborhood Was In a state of wild excitement The wild boasts were inly either capturod or killed, but for three years no traoe of the den of snakes let looxe on that momorable night could be found. Meanwhile Mr. Wilson went w prison for two years. Two years ajo the people 1a the neigh borhood of Amraugh began to miss poultry and pigs. Several vagabonds fell nndor suspicion, wore apprehended, ,nd were looked up. But the depreda tions continued, and finally a farmer's Id testified that upon returning late one night from a merry-making he had ieen the evil one In the guise of a ser pent making way willi a pig across a neld. The village priest took the lad In band and questioned blm closely, but nothing could shake the fellow's testimony. About this time other peo ple dotectod similar fiends In the act of like depredations, and at onoe arose a hue and cry that the spot was a damned one, and bad been given over to the devil for bis diabolical practices. Spe cial prayers were said and the devil was publicly donounccd, but the depreda tions continued, and presently from Castelralne, a town twolve miles dis tant, oame word that his satanlo majesty had begun operations in that locality, his victims in this lnstanoe and In this place being sheep, not poultry and pigs. In this dismal emergency the Bishop was most properly appoaled to, for the parish priests were at tholr wits' end and tholr parishioners were well-nigh crazed through fear. The Bishop prom ised to investigate the affair, but in stead of resorting to conventional eccle siastical methods, that holy and saga clous man enlisted the servloes of two shrewd detectives from Dublin, the in tellectual center of Erin. The Bishop fancied that the devil was doing his un holy work by proxy not in the guise of dragons and serpents, but in the person of certain lawless characters too lazy to work and just knavish enough to steal. The detectives, laboring under this heresy, made tholr investigations quiet ly, and in the course of a fortnight re ported to their employer that the dep redations at Castelralne and Amraugh had Indeed boon committed by serpents, the detectives themselves having seen and watched tho same upon three dis tinct occasion sulzo, kill and carry off thslr prey. The serpents were de scribed as dark of color and fully fifteen feet In length. Thoy klllod tholr vic tims by coiling about their bodies. The story was discredited by the clergy and laity until, as good luok would have it, a correspondent of the Freemoi's Journal (at Dublin) recalled the significant, not to say portentous, circumstance that the numerous and divers species of snakes which had es caped from tho Wilson show about three years previous had never boon captured. Then of a sudden the mystery was cleared up and bands for the extermlna- of the monsters was speedily organized among the vengeful peasantry. Three of the snakes were shortly thereafter seen, purs cd and killed In the bog east of Amraugh; the largest of the snakes measured four foet; in the maw of each was found a pullet. About a month thereafter a fourth snake was killed near Castelralne; this snake upon being out open was found to contain vory many llttlo snakes which immediately glidod into the grass and escaped before the a-tonished rustics could apprehend them. Subsequently, stimulated by the advertised reward of half a crown and a special dispensation for every snako, alive or dead, the country peo plo caught eleven of the smaller snakes none measuring more than sevea inches in length. Then the snakes seemed to disappear, and, no further depredations being noted, the excite ment gradually diod out But It Is now reported, after a lapse of two tranquil years, that snakes have suddenly appeared at and around Bal llnjal, an agricultural region thirty miles north of Castelralne, the country seat of the Earl of Densloe. These snakes are of a strange BpeoJes; though none havo boon captured, they are said to bo of enormous length, broad th, thick ess, voracity and ferocity, and to make a noise when moving like the clatter of dice in a box; they kill by biting, aid they have created great havoc among the flocks of his Grace the Duke, as well ss In the coops and sties of the peasantry. Simultaneously serpents similar to the Amraugh and Castelralne varmints have appeared still further to the eastward, and have caused such a panic that the oocntry folks are afraid to venture out ef doors after nightfall. The theory lg that in five years tbs wp'iles let loose by the wretched Wilson during his ribald drunken frenzy have mn'.tiplied so numorously that a mili tant union of Church and State will be nectssary to restore the island to the virgin condition in which the good St Patrick left it London Cor.

N. Y. Observer. EXCELLENT ADVICE. Three 8antloni Mails by Ouethe, the ureal roet-rnuonopner, Goethe's advice to a friend, to whom. le was writing, Is well worth remember- ng and accepting, viz: "Make sure each lay to see some beautiful object to read tome great truth, to perform some good Incd." The first suinrestlon. "Make mre each day to see some beautiful ob- ect is to the most of us neglected. To be sure there are many so situated A ho could not If they would, comply with -.his advice, but how many, on the other land, pass along through life scarcely noticing the beautiful skies, the fleecy loating clouds, the starry firmament, he glorious sunsot the glistening mows, the flowers and green-swards, ind all the varied beauties of naturo, n-hlch are free to all. Then, too, the beauties of architecture, which so de light the eye of one trained to apprecl ite them, or one having a natural taste tor symmetry, might be enjoyod far uore than they are. And the develop ing of talont and sentiment in that liroctlon would do much toward the larger cultivation of that art it is a fact that very few Florentines eave thoir beautiful olty, so filled with reins of architectural beauty, and with works of genius, to make new homes for ;hemselves elsewhere, even when they lould bettor themselves financially by 10 doing. The question bolng asked of tn Italian lady as to the cause, the tn itant reply was: "Ah, a Florentine mist see something beautiful every day! Florentines would not be happy withuut i sight of their dear Duomo and Campl illo, and tho towers and the churches. They love tholr old city, "La Bella Firenza." . And the second suggestion, "Read lomo groat truth," might be adopted by aearly all.
