Look!a; nbodt, hr saw large numbers of tlie .» lylu r around, while there was aconstant stream of them going into aroun 1 hale in tiie rock near the bottom of the cliff. • ,Being anxious to destroy as many of the reptiles as ho possibly could, he procured a forked stick and, placing the fork over the neck of one of the largest, he pinioned him to the ground, then tying a lialf-dozen stii ks of giant powder to his tail, set a slow match to it and then let the snake go. After seeing his snakeship go into the hole, the hunter retreated to . a safe distance to await developments, lie did not have long to wait. First there was a slight trembling of the ground, then a burst that shook the mountain like an earthqua’ke, ami with that burst the whole side of the clilT toppled off and fell to the,ground, and up went more snakes than was ever thought of by either Gulliver or Baron Munchausen. The face of the rock was honey comb'd with round holes, out of which snakes were pouring like water through a knot hole as long as the hunter stayed, and ho stayed long enough to see many thousands scathing mi 1 hissing in their rago and agony, when ha became weary of the sight and left, but .not unt il he had-seen that the whole face of the cliff was covered with solil gold.itJiiiAPACHE TIZ-WIN.ant th.»*ug;nic 5ovv Y.. ilk !s trip to tlie bjroiHp^b^ingipiiaiion of his corr^jvp'oudoacc.AN ODD. 1NCIDEN T.r.on i Suri»: iH4‘ Kx»»«frilt;*nr«*il 1y l'uazl«'lt;l Urinal I’jiir.Id incident happened recently atn idrest Arch Si root Presbyterian .

At thetgid of that period they fill thdms^lves to their utmost capacity with the unclarified tiz-win. Although half starved, it takes but a few moments to make them feel as if they hpd had a M ijor-Goneral’s rations for six months previous, while the most conspicuous effect is to swell their bump of combativeness to an • inordinate degree. If a large number have indulged in this 'liquor serious outbreaks and disturbances are almost sure to ensue, especially if other band* of Indians or any whites are near enough for them to reach before this temporary, stimulated combativcncss has worn awav.In fact, after having, when sober, decided to go upon the warpath, by far the most important preliminary is the manufacture of huge quantities of tiz-win. Its peculiar composition, and the no less peculiar manner of taking the liquor, gives 'it a most lasting Vffect upon the system, and an Indian with his stomach distended with it is said to have ahead off^im a six qr eight(lays’ “spree.’2 and during ail this time lus warlike qualities are sure to bo most conspicuous.There is much oviJencc to show that alcohol:! liquor malo from corn is an ancient dri'tik with these people, every thing that'was necessary to manufacture it being fouml in their old ruins and under cir cumstances that make such a conjecture Dot unreasonable. Kven in the caves of9the old cliff-d wcllet^i of Arizona there have bcpn found cemented deposits of corn so ancient that when disturbed tho grains foil from tho cob a mass of Impalpable powder, leaving the cob, singularly enough, as fresh as if it had been gathered but the harvest before.I4cfati r c 1 t 1 r5IVndtlb£dNEvu15fttlSblt;tcAoftin i in iu in or saorwrcai:hehiofCOU;mivthbopolirleiCisoU«r nSnIIIt .Mithl'ioi. nNoPofSIGHTS IN FLORIDA.#•111Cbe iT uA rpit1ertmtwi M jHUintairstrvroeveIRLS1 PENMANSHIP.ins Latlies Should Pay .More At-itlori to Their Handwriting.hould look to their * handwriting, ar serve them-at some future Iter than short-hand or the typc-ays the Youth* I'otujwtnion.
