T SPRING SHAKE CROP. 11'. 1‘31! ms Sons Gnther a men Harvest at Corydon, Pa. This locality is the headquarters of more rsttlesnakes than can be founi in any other at in northwestern Pennsylvania. The perience of Henry Martin and his son cap the climax. Martin and his family wring a scant subsistence from a rocky farm on the banks of the Alleghany River. L at Friday while old Martin and his son Charles were removing a huge pile of stones, the collection of a number of years' picking in the field, they unearthed what seemed to be a ball of black rope, knotted and curiously interlaced. The mass was as large as a bushel basket, and covered with a light powdery substance more resembling bran than anything else. The sun was shining with much warmth for an April day, and as the ball felt its genial influence it began to quiver. Old Martin yelled “ Snakes,” and jumped away. Charles, who was of a more inquiring turn of mind, procured along pole \nd stirred up the rapidly yielding mess. The touch and warmth revived the dormant reptiles, and the surface of the ball was seen studded with rattles that swayed to and fro with a sound resembling the blowing of wind through the dead leaves on a tree. The tails protruded more and more as the snakes unlocked their intricate coils. They appeared to be packed with the heads in the centre. One of the men tossed a small stone into the writhing mass to "stir 'em up." He succeeded most effectually; the ball of snakes fell apart, disclosing some fifty or sixty rattlesnakes of all sizes, those within covered with whitish slime that had exuded from their bodies. Thoroughly aroused, the venomous reptiles lashed their tails in fury and glided over each other with surprising agility, their wicked little eyes shining with rage, their mouths wide open and forked tongues pro- truding as they hissed defiantly at their per- secutors. One huge reptile, nearly six feet in length, glided from the centre of the up, and turning its list ugly head toward if: intruders, opened wide LS mouth, and sway ed to and fro, hissing angrily. An- other stone was thrown, this time of some weight, crushing and maining many 0 the reptiles in its fall. The scene then was simply frightful as described by the men. In their agony the wounded snakes writhcd and hissed with redoubled fury, twisting over and over in the blood and slime, while the uninjured ones, escaping from the pile, glided toward the Martins with heads up- raised and rattling ominously. The air was filled with the peculiar musky odor exhaled by the rattlesnake when alarmed or angered, so much affecting the two men that they felt a deathly sickness. It is said the venom of the rattlesnakes is especially deadly at this season. The situation looked decidedly unpleasant, and the two men armed them- selves with stout olubs and began killing snakes. The largest s orted seventeen rattles, which old man artln out ed and took home with him to convince dishelievers. Fifty-six snakes were laid low. Never in the ophidian records of Corydon had there been such a capture. Phonographic Toys. Thephouograph promises to afford as much recreation to children as it does interest to own folks ; The phonographio doll is the rst step in along line of phonograpbic toys upon which inventors are new at Work. When these are put upon the market they will create a wonderful sensation. A- mong tr em may be mentioned phonogra- phic animals. These are toys made out of papier-mache, paste-board,oomposition and other material, each and all of which are strong and durable. Each animal con- tains in his interior a phonograph, which, when set in motion, produces all the natural cries of the original. There is a cat that purrs,meows, spits and catcrwauls in the most approved style ; a horse that neighs and whinnies ; a dog that barks, snaps and howls, and a sheep that blasts in a way that would deceive the mother ewe. By using a megaphonic attachment the amount of noise may be increased to almost any desired ex, tent. Much more interesting than the phon- ographic animals are the phonOgraphio birds ;we have secured the melodies of the lark, the fin not, finch, robin and canary bird. and can reproduce them indefinitely. With canary birds the success is notable. IVs have preserved in metal the entire re- pertoire of a number of the finest bred and highest priced birdsinthc market,and by com~ bining the songs oftwo or three into one whole we have an artificial canary that will out- sing any natural one whatever. The phono- graphic orchestra and the phonographic miniature theater are other novelties to be soon produced. in the former a band cf little images, dressed up in glaring military colors, are seated on the stage as in some great concert, or stood around a drum-major as on a parade. The moment the phono- graphy is set going, each little musician moves his hands and instruments in the natnr~ al style, while the cylinder inside reproduces the music of a full orchestra with startling fidelity. In the theater we can reproduce all the spoken parts of the lay. Another novelty .hat is half a toy an half a luxury will be a great boon to all mothers whose young children insist on being sung to before going to sleep. It is a phonograph into which a lady has sung her best songs at her leisure and which is placed near the crib or cradle. A mere touch upon a spring starts the machinery and gives the child as much music as he or she may want. A singular feature of the phonograph is the fact that if the speed of the mechanism be increased the pitch of the voice it reproduces is height» sued, and on the other hand if it be slowed the pitch is lowered. At the same time the character of the voice is not changed in the least. This odd peculiarity enables a man to hear how his voice would sound if it had been born a high tenor like Campanini, or the young girl if she had been born a basso- profundo. " It seems probable that at no distant date the British Government will assume control of telephonic communication in the United Kingdom. The French Government has al- ready decided upon a similar step. The monopoly of the company which is operating in Paris expires next September, and the Government now proposes to urchase its lines and work them itself. n 1536 the company signed a contract with the Depart. ment of Posts and Telegraph: for a term of shirty~five y during which a rent was to be paid to the tats, which, at the end of the term. would enter into possession of all the lines without payment. This . mans, however, was not ratified by Parfl: meat. THE ESCAPE Or' TEE CALLIOPE. In" I Knot in the Teeth orthe Gale was All the Ira-Knot Ship could no. The London ‘Time's” correspondent at Sydney, N. S W'. gives the following par ticulars of the thrilling experience of the "Calliope" in the recent cvlone at Samoa: â€"Her Majesty’s ship Cilliope has arrived from Apia, SlmOI, bringing full confirma- tion of the terrible and destructive hurricane last month, and particulars of her own won- derful escape from the late which bafell the American and German men-of-war. The Captain of the Calliope states that the ship's barometer: gave due warning of the approaching storm, but no one supposed it would be more serious than others which had been previously experienced. The usual precautions, however, were taken. Even when the barometer had fallen unusal- iy low and the hurricane was almost at its height, some natiyes on board the Calliope declared it was nothing more than an ordin~ cry storm. The hurricane increased in fury every hour, and at length it became evident that the Calliope in her then position would not be able much longer to stand against it. Already one after another the cables of four out of her five anchors had parted before the tremendous strain. and the vessel had commenced to drift. One anchor alone was holding her. and that was per- ceptibly dragging. For a while the Cap- tain thought the best plan would be to beach the Calliope on a soft patch to which he thought he could guide her. But such tremendous seas were running that it seem- ed impossible thst any ship could hold to- gether for long after being run ashore. The captain therefore determined to risk every- thing in an attempt to reach the open sea beyond the dangerous reefs. The remain- ing anchor was therefore slipped, and the Calliope’s head turned toward the most practicable opening in the line of reefs. The wind at the moment was blowing with tre- mendous force. The Calliope's engines, capable of steaming at a speed of fifteen knots, seemed almost powerless, and, as a matter of fact, the highest speed attained in the teeth of the gals was half a knot, at which rate the vessel gradually got out of the dangerous harbor. The Vandalia of the American squadron was still holding by her anchors, and the Calliope twice came into collision with her, but fortunately without serious damage to either vessel. The Calliope, however, sprung her foreyard, damaged her head and stem, and lost all her boats except: one, partly by the collisions and partly by the seas. She did not, however, lose a single man, though one seamau was seriously hurt, but his injuries are not considered dangerous. KING MILAN'S CONSTANT FEARS. rm Dnin Life a Misery, Through Dread of Assassination. No wonder King Milan wanted to get out of Belgrade. He was as much a martyr to dread of assassination as the Czar of Russia. It is told that he slept in a roomwith double doors, iron-cased. which he looked himself and bolted from the inside. A powerful mastiff slept at the foot of. his bed, and he kept a loaded revolver on the table. There was no chimney-place in the room, lest dynamite should be dropped down it; and no coal was burned in any room which be occupied, because he once saw a murder- ons Nihilist engine which looked outwardly l ks a lump of coal. He was so afraid of poison that he always had the wine he drank uncorked before him. His coffee was always made in his presence with a spirit of wine apparatus, and he would never when eating alone,touoh a made dish . but onlv plain toast or a boiled eggâ€" for there is no putting poison into an egg. Suspicious of bread, he ate brown-bread biscuits cf English make, of which there were always a tinful in his study. Minoritv Can Defeat Majority- The New York “Herald” recently publish- ed a remarkable table showing that it is possible for a political party in the United States with a popular majority of over 6,000,- 000 to be defeated at the polls in a presiden- tial election. This is due to the fact that there is no common unit of representation in the Electoral College, that is to say, an elector from one State may represent ten times as many people as an elector from another. For cxample,a Montana elector represents about 13 000 people, while a New York elector represents over 147000. Ten votes of the people in New York, therefore, have no more powor than one in Mon- tana. In the next Electoral College there will be 414 votes, and the “Herald’s tible shows that the aggregate population of t xirtylone Suites which will have 298 of these votes is 21,788 000, while that of eleven States which have the remaining 206 votes is 27,832,000. Should the States divide in this manner at a Presidential election. the side having a popular majority of over 6 000.000 would nevertheless be in a minority of. two in the college. This, of course, would be an extreme case. but, as our.readers are aware, at the last election the candidate who was the choice of a minority of the people secured the Presidency. Empress Eugenie's Stolen Wealth. Besides the large sums of money remitted to England by the late Emperor Napoleon during his reign and duly invested on his behalf by Messrs. C lutts, the Empress Eugenie has also the capital sum which was handed over to her on account of the sale of such possessions in France as were proved to the satisfaction of the French C lurts to be the private property of the Emperor. A third source of her large annual income is in Spain, where she had s-veral valuable estates in the neighborhood of Granada. it will be to visit this Spanish property that the ex- Emprers will shortly leave England, and she will probably stay on the most'beautiful of her estates during the Spring months. Her abode will be a Chateau en Eipsgue of the most substantial kind, which she has not previously visited since she left it to become Empress of France, thirty-seven years ago. The adventurous man, Lard Lonsdale, may be taken as a good instance of the daring spirit in exploration which centuries ago brought fame to England. The English race has not declined in a love for those ex- ploius by which Drake, Frobisher, Rals h and Franklin carried the name of Euglis - men to the four corners of the earth. Lord Innsdals has not got to the North Pole, nor did he even get a glimpse of it sticking in the snow, but his perilous feats will serve to sue! ofi other intending discover-era for a little while. WOXANLY GOUEAGB IN DANGER. A Not Overcome by Gleaming Eyes in a Rollin-t. \Vadsley Hall is a large, old-fashioned English house built during the reign of the Tudors. It is a picturequre pile, situated amid extensive grounds and partly hidden from the public gaze bY great oaks and tall p‘ars. Two miles to the eastward lies Shtfiield, the third masufacturing town of England. At the time of which I write, my brother had just attained his twentyfirst birthday, and in honor to the scion of the family, a party was given him. There were many guests present. and the house was awhirl in merriment far into the wee sma' hours. My room had been given a friend down from London, and I was assigned quarters with my mother. The chimes peeled forth 3 before we sought our room. We were neither of as long in disrobing, and wnile mother was putting away the diamonds that had‘ been heirlooms for generations, I hied me to bed. By chance, I turned to look at mother who was then paying her devotions on her knees. meanwhile gsz‘ng intently upon a suit of armor. My eyes wandered to the same object, which stood at the end of the room. Gradually I became aware that two gleaming eyes were looking out from the visor of the helmet. I knew at once a human being was concealed in the armor. What was to be done? As quietly as if all was well, mother arose, and after extinguishing the lights came to bed. I felt by intuition she too was aware of that awful presence, but I did not speak. To be brief, the hours pass- ed very slowiy, but dawn came at last and we State. The eyes had disappeared and we knew we were alone. The jewels were missing, however, which surprised neither of us. After dressin , we went out ostensibly for an early wal , and wended our way afootto Shefiield,where, with the assistance of Sheriff Clayton, we secured a wrrrant for the arrest of one James Elmore, our butler, whom my mother at once '_recognizsd as the .‘burglar in the helmet. . He came in the dining-room to serve us' at breakfast, as usual, and was captured immediately, searched, and the diamonds and other stones found upon his person. Although it is many years since the above happened, I can recall every detail as vividly as if it were only yesterday. THE DAN MARK. Rescue ot her Passengers and Crew by the Steamer Missouri. LISBON, April 24.â€"Three hundred and twenty passengers and 42 of the crew of the Denmark have arrived here. Mr. Rsben, the first oflicer, who is among them, re- ports that on April 4th the Danmark’s shaft was broken. _ On the next day the disabled steamer met'the steamship Missouri, from London, March 285b, for Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Missouri towed the Dan- mark until the 6th, when the latter seemed to be about to sink. At first the Missouri was only able to take aboard 20 of the D ru- mark’s passengers, but after having jet- tisoned aportion of her cargo she found acco nmo'lations for all the crew and pas- sengers of the Danmark. The Missouri then proceeded to the Az )res and left there the first. and second officers and 320 passeng- ers. She then continued her journey to Philadelphia with 340 passengers and the remainder of the crew. The captain and three engineers of the Danmark left the Azores on the 14th for London on board a steamer from Demerara. The Daumarck was about 800 miles from Newfoundland when the accident happened. Some say that the engines broke down. Engineer Kaas was found dead in the engine room after the accident, Forty two sailors and all the passengers left at the Az was by the Missouri came to Lisbon on the steamship Acor. The steamship Missouri is a new vessel and ihis is her first trip. She'is in the carrying trade between London and Phili- delphia. Wild Horses in the Northwest. Up in Northeastern Wyoming and North- WestornkNebraska many bands of wild;horses still room as fearl its and as fleet as in the days when the country was an unexplored wilderness. Now that the bufi'alo has gone here is big game to hunt. All through the West ranchmen and cow-boys have regularly organized parties to go out and kill ofi‘ the wild stallions. The loss of mares sustained by horse-breed- ers has at last become so large that some measures mus) be adopted to reclaim mares stolen away by the wild stallions. In Col- orado, Wyoming, Southern Idaho and Nev- ada there must be now roaming at large fully 5,000 wild horses. Each stallion selects twelve oonsorts. If a band is large enough they are divided into small lots of twelve mares and one stud. 0:0asionally a male is found wandering alone by himself, but he is not a bachelor by choice, having been driven away by the stronger males. As far as possible these family relations are strictly kept upâ€"that is, held at an even dczm. An old hunter who had scoured the Big Horn and southern spurs of those monstrous piles from child- hood once discovered far in the depths and beyond an almost impossible rocky barrier a beautiful basin, wherein was one r old stallion and twelve fine, beautifu mares. This old fellow, not able to hold his own against the younger and stronger males on the plains, had sought out this retreat and enticed a family of twelve to go with him. He was is clever, so to speak, keeping his family intact without fear of molestation, as the entrance to this horse E'len was evident- ly known to none of his rivals. He never left the stronghold and never allowed any of his mates to wander away. Had be chosen a home on the plains his family would no doubt have been stolen from him one by one. He Poisoned his Daughter Instead of his Neighbor‘s Dog. Tassrox, Lissa, April 25 â€"â€"Poison in- tended for a neighbor's dog killed a little girl at Weir village. Arsenic was placed on some bread, which was left where the dog was in the habit of prowling for food, A little dau hter of Francis Corrigan, 3 years old, loan the bread and ate a portion of it. She died in a few hours. Corrigan’s dog had been shotby the neighbor afew days ago, aadinretalisfionan attempt was made to poison the neighbor’s . His daughter was the victim intend. of dog. W “ FIGHTING BOB." â€"-â€" And the Bird a Tia Peddier latched Against-Inns. The man who has never had anything to do with game chickens can't give a roaster credit for what there is in him. One of the right blood likes a battle, and the right sort of a trainer can teach him tactics which you would think only human beings couldlsarn. Down in Lâ€" ' years we had the champion fighting neck of the State. He was picked up in the country by a chicken buyer, and no one knew his breed. He was big and solid. and after he had been taught how to save his wind and to use his spurs be cleaned out everything which could be put down be- fore him. His longest battle lasted only seven minutes, and the number of cocks he knocked out in two or three would fill a moving van. He was in his zenith, and the half dozen of us who owned him were in fi- nancial clover when a tin peddler drove into the village one night, and began to banter us to sell. He offered us 85, $10, $30, for " Fighting Bob," but we would not have taken $200. “ l've made a big ofier for a second-class bird," he said as we laughed at him. “ Second classi Where is one to whip him 2" “Right in this yere waggou.

I’ve got a fightiu’ bird in there, and don't you forget it, but he‘s got apecooliarity. He won't fight with the lights on. If he would i'd bet you ten to one. If your bird could only fight in the dark we might make a match.” “ How in the dark ?" “Wall, s'posen we put ’em ina box stall in the barn?

We were wild for a fight, and we scraped up $60 and bet it against $100 that our “ Bob " would lick the stranger. He had good eye sight, and as we had the rivilege of putting gaff: on him we felt that e could take care of himself against anything. The peddler got his bird out of his wagon, keep- ing him covered with a piece of cloth, and by and by the pair were placed in a stall near the back end of the barn. All of us withdrew to the lantern hanging in front. In a couple of minutes we heard a sort of “ Who-who i" followed by a cackle of alarm and a flapping of wings, and we nudged the peddler in the ribs and expressed our sym- pathies. “ That’s all right, boysâ€"all right," he re- plied. “ Give ’em three minutes more and. then see which is on top.” At the end of five minutes we carried the lantern down and opened the door. Our Bob lay there, dead as a herring, and stand- ing over him was an owl almost as big as a goose. That was the " bird” the peddler bad rung in on us, and as we looked from one to the other in our amazement he said: “ Kinder sorry for you, gents, but you orter sold me that ’ere rooster when I offered you $30 dollars for him." ._._.____._â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" TEB BIPEBL TOWER. new the Tallest Artificial Structure on the Earth Looks To-Day. ‘ The monstrous tower designed by Engin- eer Eifi'el for the Paris Exposition has three stories or divisions. The first story is sixry metres high (a metre is equal to thirty-nine inches) and rests on the arches which join the four foundation columns that carry upon them the entire weight of a huge tower. The tower has four distinct sections. Each wing is provided with a refreshment saloon that may be reached by means of winding staircases under the foundation piers. Notwithstanding the centre of the space has been set spirit for the elevator there still remain 4,200 square metres of floor room for the accommodation of visitors who may desire to promenade and enjoy a view of the city from that height. The apartments are very roomy, and pre- cautions have been taken to insure the Via- itors against all possibility of accident. An iron railing about four feet high, with an arched roof to exclude the intense rays of the sun, surrounds the extreme edge of the platform, as it may be called, which has been reserved as a promenade for those who desire to walk about. The requirements for the comfort of the inner man, too, have not been forgotten. Kitchens, storerooms, ice-chests and the like have been fitted up in the most handy manner imaginable, so that there is little occasion to fear that the supply of stimulating refreshments will give out, even in the days when such lodg ings in the hotels and private houses will not be obtainable for love or money. Each one of the four cafes is provided with a col lar capable of storing 200 tuna of wine. Everything about the structure is abro lntely fireproof, for iron is the only material that has been used in its construction. Two thousand persons per hour can ascend and decend the staircases leading to the plat- form, and 4000 can find seats to rest upon in the cafes at one time. The second story, wuioh is sixty metres above the first one, is also reached by four staircases built inside of the supporting columns, which make a sharp inward curve, leaving but 1,400 square metres of surface for the platform and promenade. Here, too in the commodious and handsomely decorat- ed cafe the thirsty and tired sightseer may fidd something more potent than Seine water to recuperate his strength. This story is 91 metres above the tip of the Notre Dame steeple and higher than the towar of the palace of the Trccadero, on the other side of the river, and, as may easily be imagined, the view of the sur- rounding country to be had from such an altitude is almost indescribable. From here on the columns of the tower fall in towards each other until they ascend a dis- tance of 275 metres above the ground, where the tnird and last story is situated. Only one staircase leads to the thirdstory, which isfor the exclusiv ease of the persons employed in the tower, and all visitors are expected to use the elevators. two in num- her, to reach that point. The platform is 1 8 metres square, still large enough to erect thereon a comfortably sized dwell- ing. The view here is simply superb. The story is equipped with reflecting mirrors and a large supply of field glasses for those who wish to use them. It has been estimat- ed that the ordinary eye can discern otjaots seventy miles away. The tower terminates in what is known as the lantern, 25 metres above the third section, but this place has been set aside for the use of the scientists for making obser- vations. Saved in Spite of Themselves. The London was literally “ swam d" at sea, and there are no recorded para leis to the case on such a scale. Vessels, indeed. are often lost by great leakage produced by collision, but the cases are rare in modern days and inlwell-found ships, where ordinary leakage and water “shipped” on deck makes any great difference, and in steam-ships the pumps worked by the “ donkey" engine, as a rule, efl'ectuall prevent any dan er from these sources. he London was a rst-class passenger steamship of her day. She was nearly new, of 1,700 tons, and valued at £80,000. She belonged to a distinguished firm, and had been constructed on the most approved principles. Her commander, Capt. Martin, was an officer of ripe experience, and this was her third voyage. She had acquired a first-class reputation ; and for months before the time of sailing, berths were so eagerly engaged that it would have been difficult to accommodate, in the rough- est manner, many more, while in the saloon there were no vacancies. One lady, who was desirous of proceeding with her family from Plymouth to Melbourne had made repeated applications to the owners' agents, and the captain had been consulted, but, fortunately for the applicant, had declared that the cabins were so full that he could not possib- ly accommodate herâ€"a result that, at the time, [caused her much disappointment ; afterwards she had reason to thank her good fortune. A second~class male passes or was so alarmed at the rough weather w oh the London entountered on her way from King Milan's Dread. One of the reasons which induced King Milan to yield to the pressure brought to bear upon him, and to relinquish his throne, was a dread of assassination. The pre- cautions which he took seem almost in- credible. There were double doors, plated with iron, to the room in which he slept, and a powerful mastifi‘ kept watch at the foot of his bed, while a loaded revolver lay ready at his side. His breakfast in private consisted principally of wufs a lo caq, and toasted bread, wnile his notice was made in his presseence with a spirit lamp. Brown bread biscuits of English manufacture and tinned meats (opened by his own band), formed his lunch, and when dining it was always observed that he keenly noted who was partaking of the same dish as that to which he helped himself, and dailied with his food until he saw it was eaten freely by others. In public, and when wearing his State uniform, the king looked much stouter than when in plebeisn costume, and this was caused by a light suit of protective mail, which he invariable donned before leaving the palace. He was extremely par- ticular about his attendants, and nervously anxioustc secure their good-will by lavish presents. The maid of Mme.

A young man, as theihi-gediilt of some family quarrel, had. left his home, and taken a passage by the London. He was advertised for in the Times, and importuned to return, his friends being at first unaware of his whereabouts. Messengers were sent down tozl’lymouth, his friends having later acquired some also to his movements, and an influential ship- broker in the town was employed to inter- cept his iii ht should he attempt to sail thence. ortunately, he was detected among the passengers of the London, and the fact communicated to his family by the broker, the result of which was that s. brother of the young man went down to Plymouth, and persuaded the would-be emigrant to forego his voyage. The Magautic Outlaw, After Being Wound- ed, Carried off to Jail. Manson, Qua, April 4.â€"The other evening word was brought to the village by Constable Peter hero or that Morrison was captured, and had een wounded in resisting. It appssrs that Constables MscManon and royer had been for a couple of days hiding and watching from the woods in the vicinity of the house of Morrison's father. About two o’clock in the afternoon they saw two men enter. but in the distance could not distinguish or recognize them. They watched steadily for t e man to come out again, but night coming on and finding the two men did not reap pear, the constables decided to approach the sure and ascertain if the fugitive was there. As a result they saw Morrison in the house and waited for him outside. Evidently he heard the noise of their footsteps, as in a few moments he came outside. and found himself face to face with two constables, who immediately ordered him to throw up his hands.
