San Francisco Call, Wiule at Berkeley last week a rep- resentative of The ~Call chanced to meet J. J. Rivers, the curator of the university museum, who knows as much about bugs and their kindred as Dr. Bachr, if not more, and who is better posted on snakes of the truly rural varieties than any man in California. The museum has quite a collection of California snakes, of every possible color, barred and spotted and striped with erimson red and yellow :m({ all these more sombre hues which simu- late the color of the ground on which they lic and bask in sunlight until the unwary picknicker or picknickess steps on them with a scream. “You are aw 1 suppose, of the peculiar construction of the lower jaw. Tt can be unhinged,so to speak, and then the snike is nothing more than a long sack with the mouth open. I have watched one of them stow away a squirrel—long tail and all without making any bones about it. He commenced at the head and slow- ly drew the squirrel in, bit by bit, his teeth and jaws working on the animal somewhat as a man draws in a rope, hand over hank. Finally the body was safely housed, and ‘then only the tail remained—that slipped down in the twinkling of an eye. 1 never realized until then why snakes were made so long—it is to make room for the inconvient tails of the other animals predestined to be snake- meat. In an mmproved state of exis- tence, when the tails have been evo- lutionized off the backs ot the other animals, probably snakes will be cut shorter,” “Do you see that fellow there?”’ said Mr. Rivers, pointing to a huge red snake some ten feet long and two inches thick, of the kind known as a gl?]lhul‘ snake. ““I'd rather have that ellow on my farm—if 1had a farm— than §10.

Have you ever seen a gopher trying to catch a dove by taking a wmean advantage of its aternal instincts in nestling time! No—well, THE SNAKE WILL SQUIRM up the prickly stem of a cactus plant until it gets near the nest, which is usually not very high up, and then a long and bitter fight begins between the dove and its mate on one side and the snake on the other, The former don't always getthe worst of it, either, 1 have seen a dove knotk a snake clean off' a cactus branch to the ground with a blow of its wings, and then the snake crawled away, as if he did not want any more of that. But it generally ends the other way - the doves keop up an angry, terrified wd buffeting with their wings until they are tired out and the snuke just bides his tune in deadly si- | lence until he can catch some part. of the ove’s body in his mouth.

Tts true name is the p-door spider—so called from the us doors they build to ¢ entrance of their nests, Tl of their nests. You see it has A PERFECT TRAP-DOOL, lifting on a hinge, and constructed ot dirt held together by some mucil nous substance. It fits tightly the mouth of the hole, whicl is a por- fect circle. Do you know it puzzled me greatly when I first camoe to this const how that long-legged thing was to get into any of those small holes, which, as you see, are about half an inch in_ diameter, You sce his body above is nearly as I s the hole, and it would be ne essary to take off his legs altogether ot him safely inserted in the nest. 1 thought at first that they were cn- dowed with the power of articulation, or casting off their limbs, as some an- imals do—the crab, for instance—but I afterwards found out that these are the males, and they unever go into the holes, which are nests and not houses. The femalo is very much smaller, and zttends to all that business herself. When she gots through with her husband she. eats him up—TI suppose,” said Mr. Rivers, “with a quiet twinkle, *‘to sco that he does not go wrong afterwards,” ‘‘How does this species differ from the true tarantula?”’ “Do you see those venomous-look- ing nippers or mandibles which turn downward in this spider! Well, in the true tarantula those mandibles extend out horizontally in front of the ani- mal. That is the main difference, and the mistake made by the first comers to this coast was a very natural one to any but a trained naturahst.” At this point the cenversation broke off, so far as it related to the snakes and other reptiles of the coast, and the reporter took his leave, d was the rat snake ac into Terror's Reign in Texas Special Dispateh to the Globe-Deinocrat, Housron, Texas, August 25, —A meeting of 300 of the leading colored people of Galveston yesterday, and which called attention to the bloody outrages perpetrated on negroes at Orange by an armed mob of white citizens, and denouncing Governor Roberts and the state government for declining to interfere, has aroused a still higher degree of public interest in the late wholesale lynching in this state. The Galveston News is the leading paper in Texas, and several days ago called upon the state gov- ernment to interfere and stop this dreadful slaughter of human beings, who were utterly helpless in the hands of a mob; but Governor Rob- erts has remained utterly silent. The facts of the whole business are that for six years o foud has existed be- tween two parties at Orange, one com- posed of citizens of the town and its young white men, and the other of male members of two or three lead- ing families m the surrounding coun- try—the Harrises and others. Chas, Delano, the alleged l-ader of the oppo- sition party, is a white man of 3, and married into the Harris family, He is a stoc iser and cattle wan, and his followers, called by the itizens of Orange his gang, include, besides his kinsmen, some cight or ten two of them named Robert g Saxon, mulates, aud reputed sons of one of the prominent white citizens of the vicinity, As stated in the dis patch, Bob Suxon was hung in Wednesday's riot of last week, and his brother mob last Sunday night. Latterly Charles Delano was regarded as the leader of the Saxon, or negro, party, and Sherfl Michael of that of the zens, and for months past a difli- culty was expected. All sorts of crimes have been laid to the charge of the Baxon party, among them the robbery of the express agent at Orange by two masked men, and a short time ago the theft of cattle, Of course the citizens' party only waited for a chance at their opponents, and got it, but in theriot last week, when Sheriff Michael was shot, it has not been established, as stated by Michael's party, that the Saxon party were the first to fire on him, or that there was an ambush of n waiting to yermin which they destroy in the course of a year . assassinate the sheriff, as claimed.

Philadelphia Times, “Odd freight? Well, T should say we have,” sad R, K. Mastors, one of the oldest clerks in the main office of the Adams express company, on Mar- ket street, as he twirled himself around on his high stool and faced an inquiring reporter yesters after- noon. Mr. Masters talks with great volubnlity, and, as ho has a habit of dropping many small words, his con- versation was decidedly jerky. *Yes, we ship a little of everything, from diamonds ty Clester white pigs and Limberg cheese. Romarkable thing about that cheese. Ever smell any! Rich, penetrating sort of fragrance, ain't it! Case burst in freight room Inst spring. Made every one sick. Two Irishmen tried to shovel it up. Smell nearly turned ‘em inside out. Got a Datehman, regular out-and-out eat-a-sandwich-in-a-minute sort of a fellow, from Bergmyer's saloon across the way, but he gave out in ten min- utes, Only finished it with a box of deodorizer. Phew! They should charge double rates to ship such stuff,” and the speaker elevated his nose as though a trace of the diabolical aroma still lingered in his nostrils ““T'wo babies have come through this oftice, one from Chicago for New York and the other from Washington to this city. The men on this line made a great fuss when the Chicago young one shipped. Telograph operators all along the route sent dis- patehes ahead and crowds of people went to the depots to see the baby. Camo all the way in the express cars. Had a hammock rigred up. New idea, you know, and messengers thought it was a kind of a joke, but they wouldn’t like too much w of that kind. Baby's mother died in Chicago, father lived in New York; weighed forty-one pounds, T believe; cost about two doll and a half to send it through. Philadelphia baby came along some time after, ’ml?l made their trip first-class, and seemed to enjoy things generally, Fed ‘em on regular spoon victuals trom hotels along the line, Ofted have dead folks shipped.
