NOT DEAD, BUT SLEEPING.
A Horrid, Ugly Snake. Yon Know, and
What a Woman Did About It.
The San Jose Herald gives the follow
ing: In this city resides a lady noted
among her friends for her timidity and
nervousness, together with an extreme
aversion to snakes, toads, and other rep
tiles. The sight of a lizard was almost
enough to make her tremble, and close
proximity to a snake was accompanied
by a sort of hysterics. A few evenings
ago, while walking in the grass plot near
the house, she felt something suddenly
strike her underpinning between the
ankle and knee*, instinct told her that a
“snake had at last fastened to her,”
and, giving one loud screech, she bolted
for the house. At the first few jumps
the thing felt wrathy, and she could
feel it insert its fangs, almost to the
bone. Before reaching the door she
was aware that the cold, clammy coils
had unwound themselves, and she
reached the interior with just sufficient
life to get to the cupboard. Her facul
ties were at work instantly to think up
an antidote for the poison, and in look
ing at her pedestals, she could see the
bright red spots where she waswounded.
There was no one in the house, and she,
remembering that she had heard brandy
mentioned as being of service, took
down the bottle used for making mince
pies, and turning the neck into her
mouth drained the bottle, and offering a
prayer for the speedy return of her
husband, threw herself on the bed, and
scrawling on a visiting card “Poisoned
by a snake,” went to sleep. Ilow long
she remained this way is not known.
Her husband arriving saw her, tried to
awaken her, and then noticing the in
scription on the card, ran out and
down to town for a doctor. Arriving,
the physician found that she was still
alive, and turning her over to get some
medicine into her gullet, got his
proboscis in line with her breath, and
sniffed the whisky. Without saying
much to the frightened husband, he
administered the potions used to sober
people, and in les3 than an hour the
woman who had been to drunk to move,
was sufficiently recovered to relate what
had happened. A search for the snake
ended in the discovery of a few wires
belonging to a hoop skirt that she had
stepped upon, and in her endeavor to
free herself the wire had pierced her
skin. Imagination and the liquor did
the rest.
Pneumatic Clocks.
One of the latest and most novel ap
plications of compressed air is to the
regulation of clocks at a distance, which
has just been introduced into Vienna.
We now get our water and our gas
through pipes laid in the streets, and it
has been disposed to distribute heat in
a similar way; but it is a novel idea to
“turn on” the time for our clocks by
kindred mechanism. The following is
a description of the Vienna system,
from an English journal: Tubes are
laid in the streets from the central
station, in w’liich is the‘‘master clock,”
or rather two clocks working together;
and should one get wrong the other
keeps in motion, and an alarm-bell is
rung to indicate to the attendant that
something is wrong, and he at once rec
tifies it. The air is pumped from the
the station, and just as gas or water
can be taken irfto houses, by means of
pipes, so can the pneumatic tubes be laid,
and people can receive their time just
as they get their water or gas, the tubes
being always kept fully charged with
air.
The Pope’s Presents.
Rome, June 20, 1877.
The enhibition of articles presented
to the Pope by the faithful of all the
Catholic world is closed, after having
been open nearly a month. It is, with
out doubt, a wonderful collection of
the products of art and nature from al
most every part of the world. All
nominally Christian nations sent gifts to
the head of the Roman Church upon
his golden jubilee. France, the “eld
est son of the Church,” naturally held
the most conspicuous position, but
England, America, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and other
nations were well represented.
The bags of gold, and albums whose
leaves were bank bills, of course were
not exhibited, the money having been
immediately poured into the coffers of
the Vatican; but the other gifts of
gold, silver, precious stones, jewels,
laces, silks, skins of animals and all
other imaginable riches, were in such
profusion that it would be difficult to
estimate their value. There were not
less than 2,500 chalices of gold or silver
gilt, some of them very large and
richly chased; and of the rich vest
ments of the priests, sacerdotal cloaks
and chasubles covering the whole per
son, and made of heavy white gold-em
broidered silk, there were enough to
furnish all of the 305 churches of
Rome. The walls of the two galleries
—that of the ancient maps and that of
the tapestries wrought trom the de
signs of Raphael’s cartoons—which
connect with each other in a straight
line, were hung with embroideries,
vestments, laces, rugs and skins, while
tables were ranged below, on which
were placed the smaller articles, so
that they presented the appearance of
a magnificent dry goods shop.
Marshal Mac Mahon sent a large pic
ture of the “Madonna and Child,’’made
at the Gobelin Tapestry Works, and
wrought with that exquisite perfection
of color and form which makes those
fabrics of the weaver’s art more beau
tiful thau the original oil paintings.
The variety of Brussels, Honiton,
Bohemian, French and English laces
for altar-clothes and dresses of the
priests was sufficient to excite the envy
of the ladies who know the value of
these manufactures. A poor woman,
very fanatical, as it seemed from her
conversation, exclaimed as she passed
slowly along with the crowd before
these wonders: “Oh! what a paradise
What a consolation for the poor man
in the midst of his afflictions!”
Among the most conspicuous arti
cles were a helmet and sword pre
sented to the Pope by the ex-officers of
the Pontifical army. The Voce della
Verita says: ‘‘The modem sword,like
those of the past, is confined to the
care of the Pontiff. Will it lone re
main there forgotten, or is it written
in the divine decrees that it will soon
be girded on to some brave side? Cer
tainly these officers, in recalling the
traditions of 1824, meant to signify an
augury and a Christian nnd military
desire. Trusting in God, we await its
fulfiilment.”lCorrespondence N. Y.

Activity in the Wool Trade.
There lias been an unprecedented re
vival in the wool trade within the last
few weeks, and the amount of business
done reminds the largest dealers of the
liveliest days of the war. The fact that
the sales in Boston last week amounted
to 4,109,000 pounds, the largest week’s
business ever known to the trade in that
city, and a million pounds more than
the transactions for the corresponding
week last year, is sufficient to show the
activity of the trade in this commodity.
The indications are that the wool-con
suming centres will be the scene of un
usual life within the next six months.
Tile manufacturers have been running
on the smallest possible amount of
stock for months past, but are now
forced by the revival of the trade to buy
largely, for fear that prices will be even
higher two or three months lienee than
they are at the present. The tendency
in prices is constantly upward. The
wool growers in this part of the state
have nearly all sold the cut of the
present season realizing perhaps on an
average a little less than forty cents a
pound, or nearly ten cents more than a
year ago. The rise in the price of wool
has had the effect of .exciting activity
in woolen goods also, but this lias been
more marked in the increase of business
and tlie more confident feeling among
the merchants than increasing the price
of goods. The effect of the whole
movement will he to greatly improve
business at the large number of woolen
factories in New England. In truth,
these facts indicate a brighter pr -spect
for business, and 1 letter times even are
predicted. [Norwich Bulletin.

New Bedford. Maas., March 3,1877.
Messrs. GEORGE PIERCE &. CO—Your

I have always kept a supply In my family for

had in Wyoming Territory, says:
Concord, N. H., March Kith, IS7B.
GEO. PIERCE CO.:—Have used your "In
dian Restorative Bitters” for more than
twenty years, and can testily personally to Its
value as a medicine. I never allow my fam
ily tobe without a bottle In the house, and
Invariably carry it with me in my valise on
my Journeys.
My experience derived from Its long use Is
as follows:
It Is a blood purifier,— ls certain to break up
a fever, will cu’e and regulate & disordered
stomach, and remove headache.
Will euro costiveness and liver complaint.
It Is excellent for dyspepsia or indigestion,
by taking a swallow after eating.
Let those whoare troubled in this way give
It a trial; they will And it a sure remedy in
such cases.
After indulging in a hearty boiled dinner
and suffering from an overloaded stomach, the
Bitters never fall to give relief. I know it
has saved myself and family from serious
sickness many times.
Always used It for children's complaints.
Know of no other medicine as good and reli
able.
I regard the "Bitters” as a remedy that
ought to be In every house in the land.
