SNAKES IN IRELAND.

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. Chicago

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. A great truth read and pon
lered every day would no doubt be help

Droador conceptions of life and Its oppor
tunities, and preventing us from too
