Col i Cotrespondence St Louls Repnblican Probably no city on the American Continent has attracted more atten- tion than the city of Leadville, the great mining “‘boom’ was started and the more 1aa circulated of the treasures hidden in the fastnesses of Carbonate and Fry- er's hills, All Colorado went mad, and the oxcitement swept over the whole country. Wall street brok lost their wits; staid St. Louisans placed their hands deep in their pock- ets, and forgot, for the time-being, to prate ‘‘Chicagouns” used their keen wits for the while the silver excite- ment affected persons of all ranks, from the mechanic and people of hi and low degree. At that time noth- ing save a forest of scrub pine and sage brush covered the entire valley in which Leadville is sicuated, and the high mountains which encirele it were nearly covered with perpetual snow. At the present time there are long streets that are lined with sub- stantial business houses; a handsome court-house, post office and opera- house adorn Harrison avenue, and the telegraph, telephone, gas and oth- er modern inventions which a popula- tion of thirty thousand people have found it necessary to ump\n_\-; extend to the hotels, stores and many public buildings. Tt is a place of mysterios, situated in the heart of the Rockies, a place barren of shade trees, not a flower or spear of grass in sight to ro- lieve the dull monotony of the land- scape. ‘It hasa distinct individuality, and with all its dreary surroundings there are subtle charms hidden deep in the fastnesses of the mountain- sides in pockets of silvery brightness, and the hardy miner that delves in the earth for treasures at times find a mue wealth, but oftener it proves the grave of buried hopes and blast- ed fortunes. ay up the dizzy heights of Carbonate and Fryer's hill shafts have been sunk and located, and a map of the mining district of Leadville shows claims overlapping each other in some instances trom threo to five in depth which often give an opportunity for excercise in knifo and pistol pleasantry. Only a few days ago a dyamite charge was planted under the bay window of the residence of a man high in off Lad employed men_to jump_claims. Several had been killed at different free. Tam happy tostate that the pseudo owner of the mine found the titude of Leadville unpleasant, and has left for a different atmosphere. The approaches o Leadville are very disagreeable. Forat least six miles from the city the forests ve been denuded of timber, and large cones can be seen along the roadway, wheih are used in- making charcoal ‘for the smelting and reduction works, atmosphere is fearfully impregnated with sulphur, and the strongest langs re necessary, and s there is no sew- ge system in the cit mountain fever hold all seasons of the year, nue for miles about the city is strewn with kitehen offal, tin cans and bot- tles of every deseription, and the skeletons of horses, mules, oxen and donkeys that have fallen by the way- side afford anything but an aromatic odor and give a most unpleasant im- pression to the tourist in quest of the silver region of Leadville. Hundreds of log cabins have been: built under the shade of Carbomate and Fryer hills, unpleasant and dreary, that vent from flfteen to twenty dollars per month, nnd more protentious dwell- ings-of from three to five rooms con mand fabulous prices. The cost of living is fifty per cont higher than in Eastern cities and skilled labor com- mands its own terms. House se vants receive ten dollars per woek, day laborers from two to three dollars per day. The city authoritics have a summary way indealing with tramps, footpads and drunkards, Inste sending them tothe Wi live in the idleness, they are utilized on the public works, and if ref; a manacled and forced to heavy balls as punishment, has changed in every respect dur the last two yes Formerly Harr son avenue anud crowded at all times masses of people, buildings being erected in all parts of tl and every branch of tr most prosperous condition. \o wines were being rapidly developed and yielded more sily pense than any mines in the state, but ut present & quietus seems to prevail its glories are rapidly passing JERUSHA SQUE g Chestnut street were with surging were Snakes in California. San Francisco Call, While 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 Cal- ifornia, The museum has quite a collectionof California snnkenofl every possible color, barred, and spotted, and striped with crimson, red, and ellow, and all those more sombre hues which simulate the color of the ground on which they lie and bask in sunlight until the unwary picnicker of or picnickess steps on them with a soream. “‘Do you see that fellow up there?” said Mr. Rivers, pomnting to a huge red snake some ten feet long and two inches thick, uf the kind known as a opher-snake, ‘‘I'd rather have that ¥31 ow on my farm—if I had a farm— than $10. You would be astonished at the amount of vermin of all kinds they can get away with—gophers, rab- bits, sauirrels, birds—anything in fact that he is big enough to getih - self outside of, and that means a good deal, although you might not think it to look at him. ““You are aware, I suppose, of the peculiar construction of the lower Jaw. It can be unhinged,so to speak, and then the snake is nothing more than a long sack with the mouth open, 1 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 ani- mal somewhat asa wan draws in a rope hand over hand, Finally the body was safely housed and then only Searcely three yoars have passed since vellous stories were times, while theiv employer went scot | aind at less ex- | the tail remainod—that slipped down |in the twinkling of an eye. I never Sights and Scomes In and About | realized until then why snakes Were | made so long—it is to make roow for the inconvenient tails of other om mals predestined to bo snake moat In an improved stato of existence, when the tails have been evolution- mals, probably snakes will cut short- ‘Do they lick their prey smooth, as the boa constrictor is said to do, to o it slip down easily?”’ No, they take it straight and with out any attempt at seasoning of that kind. ~All these California snakes, however, with the exception of rat tlesnakes, are true constrictors, They kill their prey by ecrushing it Have you ever seen a gopher tryir to catch a dove by taking a mean ad- vantage of its maternal instinets in nestling time! No? Waell, the snake will squirm up the prickly stem of a cactus-plant until it gets mnear 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 oth- er, The former don’t always get the woest of it, either, 1 have seen a dove knock a snake clean off a cactus branch to the ground with a blow of its wings, and then the snake erawled away, as if he did not want any more of that. But it gonerally ends the other way —the doves keep up an an- gry, terrified screaming and buffeting with their wings until they are tired out, and the snake just bides his time iu deadly mlence until he can catch some part of the dove's body in lis mouth. The dove never moves after that — he seems completely paralized, as it were,” “‘Ho does not kill it with lis tan No; he simply and slowly winds one deadly coil after another round the dove until its body is completely enveloped in his folds, and then one single scraunch does the busine: “Don’t they sometimes kill ani- mals that are useful or harmless on a farm?” ‘‘Very seldom. The birds which they kill are not many after all, and they are the most harmless animals they kill. The amount of hurtful vermin which they destroy in the course of a year is incalculable. A little discriminating knowiedge of this kind would be very useful to farmers. Thero are numbers of insects, for in- stance, which they now class as their enemies, simply because thoy are bugs, which are entirely useful.” A State entomologist will' be a very uscless officer—that is, if he knows his busi- ness, and if the officer is not made simply the reward of some politica “worker.”y ‘‘Are there any venomous snakes in California beside the rattlesnake?” “No; the enone. When I am out hunti cimens T simply cateh any kind of a snake in my hands cx- cept a rattlesnake, and him I catoh my butterfly net. Rattlesnakes ditfer from the others in their method of killing theiv pre; L have watched one ot them killing arat. He struck him two or three times with his fang and the rat died in a few minntes, after kicking convulsively for an in- staht or so. After he had struck the rat the snake drew back and waited still and motionless as a stone until he thought he was dead. He then came forward and felt him from head to tail with his nose, and when the rat gave another kick while he was doing so he drew quickly back again and waited in the same motionless manner until ho thought the rat was surely dead. Then he felt him again, amd assured himself this time that the rat was really dead. A snake won't eat anything alive—in fact a livo rat might be a disagreable inmate, Whether he knew that the rat was dead by the stoppage of his heart beats, or in some other manner, I do not know, but I am convinced that he assured himself of that fact in some way before he commenced to assim- ilate the rat.” ““Is that hairy, long-legged thing I see in the case a tarantula?” ‘‘No; there are no true taruntulas in California, but thatis what is known on this coast as a tarantula. The tarantula proper belongs to Furupe, and especially to Spain, and the first- comers here being from that country and seeing something which to their unscientific eyes seemed just the same as their own tarantulas, they named it accordingly. Its true name is the trap-door spider—so called from the curious doors they build to close the entrance oftheir nests. There is one of the nests. You seo it has a perfect trap-door lifting on a hinge, and con- structed of dirt held together by some mucilaginous substance, 1t fits tight- ly into the mouth of the hole, which is a perfect circle, Do you know, it puzzled me greatly when I first came to this coast how that long-legged thing was to get into any of those small holes, which as you sce, are about half aninch in diameter. You see his body aboye is nearly us large as the hole, and it would be nccessary to take off his legs altogether to get him safely inserted in the nest, I thought at first that they were en- dowed with the power of ‘articulating or casting off their limbs as some ani- mals do—the crab, for instance—but I atterwards found out that these are the males, and they never go into the holes, which are nests and not houses, The female is very much smaller and attends to all that business herself., When she gets through with her hus- band she eats him up—1I suppose,” said Mr. Rivers, with a quiet twinkle ‘“‘to see that he does not go wrong afterwards,” ““How does this species differ from the trus tarantula?” ‘Do you see these venomous-look- ing nippers or mandibles which turn downward in this spider? Well in the true tarantula those mandobles extend out horizontally in front of the aninal, That is the main differ- ence, and the mistake made by the first-comers to this coast was a very natural one to any but a trained naturalist.” At this point the conversation broke off, so far as it related to the snakes and other reptile, of the coast, and the reporter took his leave. A Hoavy Swell, Jacob H, Bloomer, of Virgille, N, Y-, writes: *Vour Thomas' Eolectric Off cured a hadly swelled neck and sore throat on my son in forty-eight hours.

On arriving |at the Clifton house, Niagara Falls, with the Prince of Wales in 1860, 1 found that the telegraph office was not open on Sunday, 0 1 paid the opera tor 810 and his office expenses to send my Sunday message. Whilo I was writing the message a Tribune report or came in and wanted the operator to telegraph his nows, which the operator declined to do. Then, instead of asking me for a chance at the wires, the Tribune fellow went to the Hon. John Rose, then premier of Canada, and one of the directors of the telegraph company, and obtained a written order, which the operator dared not disobey, that the Tribune messago must be sent vhen mine was completed. As the Tribune did not use much telegraph then, 1 coneluded that there must be some important news afloat which T must gain time to procure. Besides Lresented the idea that a Canadian premier should interfere between two American papers, and issuo an - ex parte order. So 1 called the operator’s attention to the phrase ‘when Mr, Fiske's messago is com pleted,” and as soon as that idea was well into his head, T mformed him that he might tell the Tribune man that my message would not be completed until - Monday morning, Then I telegraphed my news; then my mail letter; then Isaved How- ard his_postage by adding his lotter to The Times and then looked about for ammunition. Tho only two books I could find at the hotel were the Bible and Clande Duval, the Dashing Highwayman, so T asked the oper- ator whish he would prefer. He an- swered so profanely that 1 thought a of Bible would do him But, instead of commeneing with the st chapter of Genesis, as Jules 1o describes, Tselected o part of the first chapter of Matthew, and begged the operator to he very particu lar about the names, Have you a Bible here? Thanks, This is the style of the thing. “And Judah begat Zara of Thamar; and Iisrom; and Esrom b Aram begat Aminadab; dab begat Naason; and N § id Salmon begat Booz ot tachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed hegat Jesse.” ““There was about a column of that, and then I skipped over to the last ster but one of Revelations and wrote ont some more nico names for him, Here is a specimen: ““The first foundation was jasper the second sapphire, the third a chal- cedony, the fourth an emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardins,.the seventh chrystolyte, the eighth beryl, the ninth a topaz, the tenth a chryso- prasus, the cleventh a jacinth, the twelfth an amethyst,’ “‘Before T had ended this chapter it was after 2 o’clock in the morning, and Rochester telegraphed me that the wires were down. So I paid my bill and went to bed, leaving The Tribune reporter fuming in the bar-room and wondering what Fred- erick Hudson would say when he read my Bible message. All day Mon- day there was an ominous silence. Then, on Tuesday The Tribune was kind enough to publish an editorial telling the story and demanding my discharge. This gave The Herald the advertisement it wanted, and more than repaid the extra ou in and Phares Phares it bt Aram; and id - Amina- aason begat N So, the afternoon, Mr, Hudson telegraph- ed me: ‘Good! Go ahead! Your salary is increased from date.” Eve body laughed at the joke; T had good cause to laugh with ‘then, and The Tribune man has never ceased to abuse ince, although he long ago left the countr; DON'T DIE IN THE HOUSE Ask druggists for “Rough on Rats,” Tt clears out rats, mice, | m‘f—l roaches, vermin, flies, ants, inse ber box, A Wodding Suit, One of the novel affairs, says The Lawrence Journal, took place in this city yesterday. At about 11°0’clock a man and woman appeared at Ham- ilton’s millinery store, desirous of purchasing, The man announced that they were to be married at noon and that he wished the lady to select what she wanted, for which he would pay. The woman selected a daisy white hat, a_bosom bouquet, a pair of white kid gloves, a wreath for the hair and a neck-tie, all amonnting to something like nine dollars, The man left his soon-to-be bride there and went to the bank where he said he had money. 1In a short time he came back. He said the friend of whom he was to get money had not put inan appearance; would Mr. Hamilton fiut them take the goods without the money. They were to be married at 12; he was working for a liveryman in this city, and by 1 o'clock, wf;ulv the wed- ding wonld be oyer he would certainly come around and pay the money. Hamilton is not a hard hearted man, and could not refuse under the cir- cumstances, One o'clock came, how- ever, but not the promised bride- groom, Two hours }utcr Mr., Hamil- ton went in search of his man and found him at the stable caring for his horses. The man acknowledged he had no money to pay with and could not raise any. The aid of the police was called in, and finally a compromise was effected by Hamilwon taking back the wedding trousseau, save the gloves and necktie, which were soiled, and which with the aid of the little money the bride had they managed to ]lnly for. When officer Harbaugh said to the bride she would have to give up the goods or he would have to arrest her husband, she said she would “‘give up anything rather than her John.” Let us hope that there may be much more of sunshine in store for them than them found on the first day of their wedded life.
