"You surely don't think that a poor girl like her who has been always ti ing to edge along into good soci ety, but has never jet received the special atten tions of any gentleman, can manage to inveigle Mr. Lovell." I don't aee where the inveigling comes in," said Mrs. Ward, in a formal and dignified man ner. "But so far as relates to the matter or special attentions, I am not sure that the lady is any worso off than Mr. Lovell himself.

A Coon Swallowed by a Snake. Seeing a corner iu your iapcr devoted to uie nmusing and instructive version of wonderful "snake stories," which havo been liberally dealt with, I hnvo waited several weeks for somo more able writer to give nn account of the ntrange behav ior of a monstrous serpent that met his fate in tho presence of several gentlemen from St. Louis, that are abundantly able to do the Rubject justice, but as they con tinue to keep silent, I unostentahoxtsly contribute the following, knowing that many of your readers will entertain gnvte doubts of the authenticity of tho re lort as w ell as the veracity of the author: Not many months ago, the writer was I.Aiitnn'nr.1 Itmtnd ftvttn fltn fmttll U1H1 several gentlemen of quasi political rep- J utation, who had beon sitting as tlio JLou iiana Keturning Board, electiou ft anils, etc. When our boat drew up to the bank, a fow miles below Vicksburg, to take ou wood, a number of pafjngerst I among tho rest, ventured aslioro. While engaged in drawing down a huge stream er of Spanish moss, my attention was called to a raccoon that was descending a leaning tree a few yards away. Ap proaching, I discovered a very largo wrpent eagerly inspecting his coonship, ami seemingly sjeculating on tho amount of nitrogenous matter surrounded by tltat glossy hide. Down came tho coon, and his serpen tine foe swallowed him without a strug gle. By this time a number of the party were on the siot, and were preparing to liberate the animal by opening the abdo men of the snake, wheu to our surprise, the coon emerged from the caudal ex tremity of his living prison, and scram bled for the tree ho liad recently occu pied. In thus attempt ho was foiled. The wily serpent seized lum, tail foremost, and sent him bowling home, but not as easy as before, for the coon resisted every effort of deglutition, and in this ho was aided bv the displacement of his f nr, for tho snaka was swallowinghim against the nap. Such beiug the case, we concluded the coon would never find his way out, via the alimentary, and we again prepar ed to open the reptile. In this we were mistaken, for, after a series of struggles, starts, stops, blind switches, etc., he struck the main track, and came backing out, bewildered but not discouraged, anil again set ont for the tree. But tho snake arrested him head foremost this time, and drawing his huge body into a dozen or more lateral angles, curves and convolu tions, hoping thereby to retain him, ho slid him down his oesophagus like a worm lozenge. "But all to late." Tho cun ning coon had learned tho route, with all its by-roads, blind paths, drifts, dips and angles. Ho again emerged, only to be seized by the hungry serpent, who now stood guard at the door. This was repeated until the serpent was eafeebled by exertion, and the coon, animated with success, came galloping through like a steer in a cornfield, sprang clear of his foe and regained the tree. The snake was then killed. Corr. Globe'Deinocrat. A Doctor with too Maky Patients. Professor Virchow, the celebrated Berlin phvsiologist, went last spring to Asia Minor for the sake of rest and recreation, and passed a large part of his vacation at Hissarlik, on tho invitation of Dr. SclUie mann. On his arrival at Hissarlik he found several of the workingmen engaged .. i. TMivntinns bnfferinK from an obBtiuato fever, and although it is long since ho gave up practice, he took them under treatment. Ho cured them, and immediately his reputation as a magician was established there; and as there were many Hick people everywhere in Asia Minor, and nowhere a doctor or an apothecary, Uie fame of the great magi ,.f ..-n.i with crrfat ramditv from vil- luge to village.

Tho historian of "Tlio Lost CnuAo," Edward A. Pollnrd, doclnroa that tho dotbttt of tho Confederate Army of tho Vnlloy, near Winohostor, Vt., Sopt. 10, 18l5i, was tho beginning of tho downfall of tho Contbdoraoy Binco that victory, with tho opera tions of tho following month In tho Btuno quarter, destroyed tho military powor of tho robollion in tho valloy, olosod pormnucntly that broad highway of Northern invasiou, by which tho South had boon ablo so long and so success fully 10 divert tho war from tho Interior of Virginia to its boundaries, and effectually circumscribed tho territory in that Stato. Tho battlo of Winchester waa ouo of tho most sanguinary and hotly contrasted bat tics of tho war, Tho actual tiirhtinir of tho day was confined to a spaco of about fivo hours' titno after mid-day, ana octoro mo mint result, over ouuu of Sheridan's army wcro put hors lu combat. Tho contest ended about six o'clock, with tho rout of tho onemy, vho lied iu tho greatest disorder to Pishor's Hill. Tho Confedorato his toriau is probably correct in tho itnpot'tanco that he gives to this Un ion victor, although 1 boliovo ho is the only writer on either sido who has clearly pointed out tho reasons which made it bo disastrous to tho cause of tho South. Tho report of Gen. Grant (page 10) sets forth in a few words, tho military situation in tho Shcnanaoah Valloy just prior to tho buttle. Ho says: "Tho two armies lay in such a position the enemy on tho west bank of the Opequan creek, covering Winchester, and our forces in frout of Borryvillo that either could bring on n battle at any time. Defeat to us would lay open to the enemy Uie States of Maryland and Pennsylvania for long distances before another army could bo interposed to check him. Under these circumstances, I hesitated about allowing tho initiative to Imj taken. Finally, tho use of the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad and the Chesapeako and Ohio Canal, which wero both obstructed by tho enemy, became so indispensably necessary to us, and the importance of rclioving Pennsylvania and Maryland from continuously threat ened invasion so groat, that I determined Uie risk should be taken. But fearing to telegraph the order for an attack with out knowing moro than I did of General Sheridan's feelings as to what would bo tho probable result, I left City Point on tho 15th of September to visit him at Ids headquarters, to decide, after conference with him, what should be dono. I met him at Charleston n, and ho pointed out so distinctly how each army lay, what he could do tlio moment he was authorized; and expressed such confidence of suc cess, that I saw there wore but two words of instruction necessary Go in!" It is quite evident from nil this that General Sheridan had very ex act information as to tho numbers and disposition of Early's army. The facts as to how ho obtained this information mako one of the moat in teresting events of tho war; and considering tho great importance of the results that followed, the inci dent deserves to be preserved iu a reliable form. Somo attempts havo been made to tell this story in tho nowspapers, but always with an effort to give a romantic gloss to tho atfair which has detracted from tho simple and interesting truth. Tlio writer hereof passed through all tho fortunes of that glorious day in one of the Now York regiments, and feeling desirous of learning tho actual facts as to ho Sheridan obtained his information, ho recently wrote to tho person who has been accredited with giving it a lady, supposed to bo living at Winchester requesting the facts and permission to mako them public. Both woio given a fow days later in a lotter from Washington, and tho writer is glad to bo able to furnish to tho thousands who will feel deeply in terested in tho matter, tho Btatomcnt of Sheridan's informant in her own words: "On tho 10th September,18G4, a colored man camo to our house and L'stvo mo n little package of tin-foil about ono-half an inch square, which ho said contatnod a nolo from Gon- eral Sheridan, desiring mo to give him any reliable information could of Larlys forces. I had snont an evening with a rebel officer tho Barao wcek, and, as tho war was tho most intoresting suuject, uu tiu u . I askod many questions, and ho replied to them; -so, when General .Sheridan's noto camo, I knew all ho wanted to know, answered his note, and rolled it in tho same foil.

In Paris. j Tho report of the Prefect of tho Soino on tho subjeot of tlio proposed changes in UionamoHof Uio streets in Pnrin, which has just been publiMiod, provokes numerous comments. M. llerold begins by acknowledging that changes in familiar nomenclature are undesirable unless specially called for by public or national consideration, lie proceeds forthwith, hownvor. to liiako tho execu tion provo tho rule, and either on his own proposition, or as mouth-iiicco of tho Municipal Council, lays before tho Minister of tho Interior a table for ro- lunusior oi mo interior a lame lor ri classing highways and byways that Mi stagger tho most knowing of Purisin Jarvios. To begin with that promiuei ill lstiin mn witn mat uromimml landmark the Place de l'Ktoile, where stands tho magnificent Arc do Triompho (now crowdod bv Cook's tourists, one of whom may bo heard contending -a ith his fellows Unit this monument is really no finer than tho marble arch on Oxford street), twolvo avenues radiate from its , strt , enter, tliree ol which tlio t'leiect ot the Seine intends saoritleing, to wit tho Hoi uo Komo, iiOAotiluno, anil Kcino llor tense. In their places tho names of Klebor, Marceau and IIoclio are to ap pear. M. llerold expresses surpriso that nouo of theso llepublican generals have i been honored in this spot dedicated to martial memorials, and can only account for tho omission by tho fury of Imperi alist worship. It seems high timo that i thoy should havo their due now. Four leading persons of the Second Enmiro are to be relegated to oblivion Marshals St. Arnrud and Magnani and MM. Ab batucci.audBillault. The first because ho owed his Marshal's staff to tho abom inable crime of which ho was one of the principal authors, viz., tho coup tl'ctul. The second, because nobody desires tho mainteuancs of his name. The third be cause there is a doubt as to its paternity, whether a General of the same name, or tho Minister of Justice, the Abbattuci, of the Second of December. Ah public opinion identifies the street with the hit ter, there can be no question of its lieing spared. Billault ought to disappear, be cause talent is uo extenuating circum stance in a case of political apostney. In their place wo are promised the nnmes Lincoln, Beaurepairo, La Bootie, Chnr ras aud Bouget do Lisle. Lincoln and Washington are suggested by thoir proximity to tho Chtunps-Elysoes, Ameri can spirits, who are expected to feel highly honored at the compliment. Beaurepairo was the heroic defender of Verdun in 179'J, and is intended to eclipso Magnan. La Boetie, author of u work called "Contreun," will, it is sup posed, bo in suitable company near Pierre Chandon, the obscure successor ofDoMornv. The namo of the Picsi dent of the llcpublic.ontlie '.20th of Janu ary, the day of his accession, has been suggested as appropriate to tho K-lluo St. Arnaud, whero M. Gievy occupied an apartment, but his well known modesty forbado such a stroke of adulation. It is to become Ituo do Volnoy, aftor tho author of "Les ltuines." Charms is to efface Clary, an obscure member of tho Imperial family. The Municipal Coun cil, in a suifdcn whim of classicism, thought of Juvenal, but nobody cared for the Roman satirist outside tlio Lux embourg. The Hue de Bouillo will get rid of an irritating souvenir of tho enemy of tho Revolution for tho peaceful namo of an artist of great talent. Tho Buo Dauphine, emblem of monarchy, niiut assume tho stylo of Buo do la Conven tion. Tho Buo des Fouillants is con demned because the late Prefect, M. Du val, did not think fit to consult his Coun cil before christening it. Tho present ediles suggested in its stead tlio Marseil laise, but M. Herald, for his own reason, prefers the supposed composer of that melody, Bouget do Lisle. Tho clerical sounding Ituo des Carmens is to Iks re tained, and tho priestly Buo do la Visita tion will become Buo St. Simon, be cause that aristocratic worshiper of kings had his abodo there. "Is not this a tri unphant answer to thoso who accuso us of blind exclusieness?"asks tho Perfect.

Bolioviug that her speedy demise was certain sho accordingly nmdo tho neces sary pro-mortuary arrangement of hor affairs. But her father, who is also an old physician, advised hor to place herself under Dr. Keek's treatment, which, with very slight hopes of recovery, sho con sented to do. In about six weeks from that time tho Dr. remoed the cancer from her, root aud branch, restoring her to husband, family and friends; and sho expresses herself as being now in tho en joyment of excellent health. Through gratitude tothoDoctor.whoni sho regards as tho savior of her life, and for tho benetlt of thoso who aro now. or may yet be, similarly alllicted, she dosttes ino jiuiiucaiiiiii in iiiti lurvgwiig -ii ii quest to which we cheerfully accede. A soldier told a Curiri,-Joiminlint the other day that at the battlo of Hull Bun lufmet a fellow soldier who was very much excited. "Wlmfs up?" "It's getting hot up there." "How do you know?"
