Chief among the curiosities recovered
from the Washington channel is a pe
culiar slab or stone, which, if some of
the old residents who hare been con
sulted on the subject are not badly mis
taken, is a find of real value and in
terest in connection with the early his
tory of the city, says the Washington
Post
It was several days ago that the find
occurred. Diver Harry Edwards was
down on his third trip in the morning,
,nd was guiding the nozzle of the large
suction hose that is used in tearing up
the soft bottom to give the workmen
access to the foundation of the piers.
Near the southwest corner of the abut
ment on the district side he encountered
the corner of a piece of large dressed
stone, which he at first thought was
piece of the masonry of the pier which
had become detached and fallen out.
As the dredging gradually brought
the whole of the rock to view he
easily saw that the material was
not such as plebeian bridges are
made of. It was a sharply cut
nd beautifully polished piece of
variegated marble, striated in veins of
pink and white, which, seen through
ihe green scintillating light of the
water, took on iridescent tints as fresh
as if just turned out from the
sculptor's hand. It was not a large
block, more like a slab about six inches
thick and perhaps one and one-half by
three feet in surface dimensions. Hut
t was in the way of the engineering
work, and therefore, whatever it was,
It had to get out of the way, and, stoop
ing down, aided by the buoyancy of the
water, Edwards turned the stone over,
snd as he did so noticed a half-effaced
Inscription on one Bido. Feeling that
perhaps there might be something to
ihe curious find, he signaled the bucket,
tnd, as his time below was nearly up,
iscended with the marble and had it
anded on the barge, instead of being
thrown on the common scrap pile with
the rest of the refuse.
The matter was investigated and the
facts brought to light make it almost
certain that one of the oldest and deep
jst mysteries of Washington has been
it last cleared up.
The story is one not very widely
known, and it may be briefly stated as
this: During the first years of work
upon tho Washington monument there
were contributed from all quarters of
the globe memorial stones to lie inlaid
jn tho inner wall of the shaft. The
rowned heads of nearly every land
were proud to contribute toward Amer
ica's memorial to the irreatest hero of
modern times, and tablets of granite
and marble appropriately inscribed
were received liy the monument
society, and placed, ponding their
insertion, in a long wooden
storehouse or lapidariuin near the
foot of tho shaft. Among oth
ers that werti received in the winter of
B53waa a iiliiek of beautifully striated
marble from the of Homo, with
the simple inscription: "Homo to Amer
ica," meaning by that not the religious
but tho political power represented by
Rome." Hut It was iu the days of the
aid know-nothings, the "American
party," whoso iiitcmperute real did not
itop for lino distinction of definition,
tnd, thinking that they saw iti the gift
an insidious Invasion of papacy into the
land of tho frw mid the home of tho
brave, there were ominous grumblings
f wrath on tl.c reception of the gift by
the authorities at Washington, lint,
though the cloud lowered, it did not
burnt.
The hard winter of IS.vi puvird and it
vaa la to in the sprint,' ' when the
work on the monument wits otiee more
begun. The iii'irniii'f of March 5 of
'.hat year the city wan eleetrifled to
earn that the night tefr an unknown
bund of vigilantes had broken into the
itotie shrd at the foot of the monument
tnd that the poe's gift to the struc

,OLD-TIME RiVEil TRADE.
Everybody Tsed to Depend Wholly oa
Steamboat Transportation.
One of the most difficult problems
the old citizen can be asked to solve
is the present position of the river to
ward the commerce of the city. A
quarter of a century ago, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, it was every
thing. It was both the feeding and
distributing artery. People engaged
in building, locating for life, could see
prosperity only near its waters. Ad
vised that business would soon be go
ing west they could only respond by
the question: "Do you see that river?
Is it going to move?" Created avenues
of trade were just beginning to receive
attention, due to the rivalry of other
points which were not blessed
with a natural highway. The posses
sion of this nature-given avenue of
commerce had, in fact, made the aver
age St. Louisian neglectful and dis
dainful of the created avenue. Life
that did not begin and end on the river
was not worth talking about. The
man who wanted to go to Cairo, Mem
phis, Vicksburg or New Orleans never
thought of rail. The palatial river
steamboat was the accepted means of
travel. People going east, even, at one
time took a river steamer to Alton.
The levee front was the scene of nine
tenths of the life and activity of the
city. The "runner" was the most per
sistent and irresistible of his class. He
"ran" for the steamer as well as the
hotel. He would almost kidnap a per
son to get him to his steamer or to his
hotel. The latter-day cabman is noth
ing to be compared to him. And so
with the merchant who had a pound or
a ton of freight to ship. It must go
; by river by boat or barge. Those
j were great days for St. Louis. Eail-
: roading was undeveloped in the west
; and southwest and northwest and
I twenty-one states and territories were
reached by water.
A CURIOUS FRIENDSHIP.
How a Snake and a Booster Were
Wrapt Up in Each Other.
PLUCK OF AN OPERA SINGER.
Bow RuV.nl Once llrokc Ills Collar Bone,
But Finished tlie Performance.
Fifty years ago European audiences
listened with rapt admiration to Ru
bini, a tenor of whom it was said that,
though he himself could not act, he
made his voice act for him, says a
writer in tho Thilatlulphia Press. The
intensity of expression he gave to his
voice, the judicious use of the tremolo,
and the management of light and
shade produced a thrilling effect. But
his best vocal foat consiated in taking
the bass of the upper stave without
preparation, thus retaining it for a
long time, and then letting it imper
ceptibly die rtway. Tho listeners could
hardly believe their ears. The adven
turous are always on the edge of dan
ger. On one occasion Ilubini, after re
peating this vocal feat, and being a
second time encored, found himself
! unable to produce the expected note.
Determined not to fail, he gathered up
his vocal strength and made a supreme
effort. The note came with its wont
ed power, brilliancy and duration, but
at the cost of a broken collar bone. A
surgeon examined the singer and
found that the tension of the lungs
had been too powerful for the strength
of his collar bone. Two months' rest
would be required to reunite the clav
icle, and this the singer declared to be
impossible, as he had only finished sev
eral days of a long engagement.
"Can I sing at all with a broken col
lar bone?" he asked.
"Yes; it will make no difference in
your voice, answered the surgeon.
Hut you must avoid lifting heavy
weights, and any undue exertion
above all, you must leave the 11 flat
alone."
Rubini continued to sing with a
broken clavicle until the termination
of the engagement.

SAGACIOUS SHEPHERD BOYS.
Tbelr Faltliful Watclif ulneaa of th Flock

Gen. John lildwell related to the
Orovllle (Cal.) Register the following
as showing how well trained the shep
herd dog becomes. lie and a friend
were riding In the Salinas valley when
they came to a band of one thousand or
more aheep guarded by ton or twelve
shepherd dogs. There were from
twenty-five to thirty coyote along the
dge of the hill and within a short
distance of the aheep. but between the
two were the well trained and vigilant
dog. "Two or three times while we
were in sight one or more of the coy
oU-a made a du-.li for the bherp, but
each time they were driven buck by
the guardian of the flock. We rode
on and put np at the fiomei ranch,
which we owned by a wealthy native
Callfornlan. Almil sundown the
aheep, driveu by the dog, came up to
the house and the flock entered a cor
ral. Two of the dog laid down at the
entrance and waited there until the
owner came out and put up the bar.
Then the muster putted hU different
dog and fed them writ. He told n
that the dog drove thew aheep out on
th plain two or three mile In the
morning, remained with them during
the day, Ut the coyote and other
animal at ty, and each evening drove
them np to the houe and into th en

The Attachment Was Harmonious Until
His Roosterlets Found He Could Crow
A Yarn That Would Give Munohau
sen a Fang of Envy.
"Snakes don't grow very big up our
way," said ex-Sheriff Warren Kalama
zoo Ridway, of Pike county, Pa., to a
New York Sun man, "but they grow
uncommon smart. I've seen 'em do
lots of cute things, the most of which
I have kept to myself, because I have
always been on good terms with my
neighbors, and my business is such that
I can't afford to have them weaken in
their confidence in me they, like all
Pike ' county folks, being simple and
unsophisticated and unable to appre
ciate the fact that truth is stranger
than fiction. I am getting along in
years, though, and I don't feel like
passing away without putting on rec
ord at least a few of the evidences of
trenius I have seen in the snakes that"
live up our way.
"A friend of mine, who Uvea back m
the High Knob country, captured a
vouner blacksnake once and made a
net of it. The snake got as tame as
kitten and had the run of the premises.
One day he got egg hungry, and he
stole an ecrg from under a setting hen
and swallowed it. The egg was just
on the eve of hatching, and the chick
picked its wa y out of the egg as it lay
inside the snake, and not Uncling day
light vet kept on picking until it had
picked a hole through the snane ana
stuck its head out. That was as far as
it could get, and there it stuck. Tho
snake didn't like it at first, but by and
by the novelty of the situation soemed
to strike him, and he grew proud of
that strange living protuberance. My
friend didn't interfere, curious to see
what the result of that singular com
panionship would be. The chicken and
the snake grew very fond of one an
other, and it was worth a farm to see
'em go to sleep together, the snake
turning its head back and snuggling
down by the chicken's head. The
snake kept the chick well supplied
with food, catching flies and worms
and insects of various kinds, and pass
ing them back to the chicken by the
hundred. The chicken ,grew like
weed, and along toward the end of a
summer the blacksnake s body was
pouched out like a small hand satchel
where the chicken was spreading out,
and the latter's neck stretched nearly
six inches above the snake's back. It
was the funniest sight you ever saw,
and touching too, the two creatures
doted on each other so. But their end
was sad.
"One day along in August the snake
and his lriend were taking a nap.
Presently the chicken woke up,
stretched his neck to its full length
and got rid of its flrct crow. The first
crow of a ynunr" rooster, even when he
has the tud that scorns to be in the
flopping of his incipient wings, is al
ways a heartrending performance, and
as this rooster couldn't use his wings
his first crow was real spooky. The
snake woke up with a start. He looked
wildly about. He was scared and no
mistake, but finally made np his mind
that he had been dreaming, and set
tled down to finish his nap. He had
scarcely closed his eyes when the
young rooster, encouraged by his first
attempt, stretched his neck and tried
his voice egain. The snake jumped as
much as ten feet, his eyes full of ter
ror, and tailed around tho yard as if
he were flying from an avenger. He
came to a stop by and by, but glared
wildly and panted like a hot dog. The
chicken seemed to enjoy the perform
ance hugely, and, while the snake wa
still trembling, he let go another crow.
"Then the snake discovered where
the queer noise was coming from, and
he turned a look on the chicken that
wa terrible in it reproachfulnesa.
The young rooster would have done
well if he had heeded it, but he didn't
He stretched hi neck as high a he
ould and crowed again, square in the
nake's face.
"The anake struck at the chickens'
head, but missed it. The chicken got
mad and clipped the snake in the head
with hi bill. And then it went They
tumbled and fought around that yard
for five minute. Then they suddenly
became quiet The snake had got the
chicken' head in hi mouth and swal
lowed it, neck and alL II had killed
hi friend, but had choked himself to
death in doing It"
