Rivers , thu curator of the university museum , who knows us much about buys and their kindred as Dr. U.telir , if not inoio , and , who is bettor posted on sn.ikes of the truly rural Muiutiua than any man in California. The museum has quite a collection of C.tlifot nia snakes , of every possible coloi , barred and spotted and stiipcd with ciunion led and yellow mm all these more sombre hues which simu late the color of tlio ground on which they Ho and bask in sunlight until the unwary pickuickerorpicknickess stepson on them with a scieam.

Finally the jody was safely housed , and then only the tail remained that slipped dow n in the tw inkling of an eye. I never reali/.ed until then why snakes were made so long it is to make room for the inconvient tails of the other animals predestined to bo snake- neat. In an improved state of exis tence , when the tails have boon ovo- lutionuod oil' the backs ot the other animals , probably snakes will bo cut shorter. " "Do you BOO that follow there ? " said Mr. Rivers , pointing to n huge red snake some ten feet long and two inches thick , of tlio kind known as a jophcr snake. "I'd rather have that Fellow on my farm if I had n farm than 810.

"Do they lick their prey Hinoothas the boa-constrictor is said to do , to maku it slip down easily ? " "No , they take it straight and with out and attempt at seasoning of that kind. All ihosu California snakes , howevci , with the exception of iat- tlesiukcH aio constrictors. They kill their pioy by crushing it.

" ' Is that hairy , long-legged thing I see in the case n tarantula ? " "No ; there are no true taratulas in California , but that is what is known in this coast as a tarantula. The .arantuln proper belongs to Europe , and especially Spain , and the fust comers hero being from Unit country , and seeing something which to thuir unscientific ojes scorned just thu samu is their own tarantula , they named it iccordingly. Its true name is the , nip-door spider so called fioin the curious doois they build to close thu entrance of their nests. There is onu of thuir nests. You sou it has A I'KKI'KCT lllAl'-DOOK , ifting on a hinge , and constructed ot lirt hold together by some mucilagi- ions substance. It fits tightly into hu mouth of the hole , which is a pei > 'oct circle. Do you know it pu//.lod no greatly w hen I first came to this coast how that long-legged thing was o got into any of these am ill holes , vhich , as you see , am about i.df an inch in diamuter. You sco his body above is nu.uly as aige as the holu , audit would bunec- cssaiy to tuku oil' his legs altogether o gut him safely insoitad in thu neat. ; thought at first that they weto un- lowed with the power of aitictilation , or casting oft' their limbs , as some an nuls do the crab , for inst.mco but [ afterwards found out th.it these ito the males , and they nuver go nto tlio holes , which aru lusts and not houses. Thu fumalu is v cry much smaller , and attends to all , hat business heisclf. When she guts : hrough with her husband she eats lim up ImippoBC , " said Mr. Rivers , "with a quiet twinkle , "to sue that ho does not go wrong aftoiw.uds. " "How does this species differ from , ho tiuo tarantula ? " "Do you BCO these venomous-look- ng nippers or mandibles which turn downward in this spider ? Well , in the rue tarantula those mandibles extend out horizontally in front of the ani- nal. That is the main difference , and .ho mistake made by thu first comers o thia coast was n very natural ono to any but a trained naturalist.

A mooting of 300 of the leading colored peoplu of Galvcston yesterday , and which called attention to thu bloody outrages perpetrated on negroes at Orange by an nrmod mob of white citi/.uns , and denouncing Governor Roberts and thu state govoinmcnt for declining to interfere , has aroused a still higher degree of public intuiest in the late wholesale lynching in this state. Tliu Galvcston Nuws is the leading paper in Texas , and aoveral days ago called upon the state gov ernment to interfere and stop this dreadful slaughter of human beings , who wore utterly helpless in thu liando of a mob ; but Governor Rob- uitB has remained uttuily silent.

All sorts ol crimes have boon hiid to the chaigu of the Saxon party , among thorn thu robbery of thu express agent at Orongu by two masked men , and u short time ago thu theft of cattle , Of course the citizens' party only waiter for a chance at their opponents , ani got it , but in the not last week , -whoi 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 un ambush of ncgroea waiting to ussasainato the sheriff , ns claimed Mrs. Delano , whom Sam charged with hiring him for $500 t burn the town , is n lady with spirii and influence enough with her lela- lives to stir up a movement for revenge vongo in case her hnsbind is hum , ' , a1 has boon tin onioned by the l nchuis.
