The Serpent Bnnlnom'ln Now York ThoDonthof a Votcrnn Donlor- New Vork Sun. This annko season opens Inter tlinn usual this year. Tlio weather in nil parts of tlio world has boon so coltl that t no attempts Imvo boon made to gather the serpent crop. Late ad vices received in tin's city , however , say that there is sonio activity in tlio South American market , ad the usual supply may bo expected hero One of the leading city diwlors ex pects Jii's first order of forty ntiacon- das , assorted sizes , in about three weeks. Prices rule about the same as last year from 830 to § , ' 100 , accord ing to length. Sixes very from 8 to 30 feet. The trade will actively sot in about . the 1st of April , and will continue brisk until about Juno , when the traveling shows will all boon the road. For a short season during midsummer there will be n lull in business , and only n small a [ small stock will bo carried over to replace snakes that have died in shows. In the early fall when the side-shows are getting ready for the country fairs , the snake mer chants again enjoy n prosperous trade. The mcrchints are conservative in ordering their goods , however , so as not to bo compelled to carry a largo stock through the winter. The late Mr. Mooney hail only one snake , and that a very small ono , to carry over this winter. A SNAKE MERCHANT. The recent death of Patrick Mooney , the pioneer snake merchant of the city , was n great loss to the trade , nnd is mourned in the Fourth ward , in which ho carried on business so many years. Mr. Mooney was an Irishman by birth , and started in the animal nnd snake business in Nowry. Ireland , when a young man lie lived more tlian a quarter of a century in this country , most of the time in this city. Ho traveled extensively in his early life , nnd collected serpents in nearly every part of the globe. As a rule , ho did not handle venomous reptiles , but the boas nnd anacondas sometimes proved as dangerous. He bore ninny teeth , and ho used to toll thrilling stories ot his escape from the coil of the monsters that wrapped around liis body. Ho used frequently to take i good sized anaconda from its box in liis store and frighten spectators Ly letting it coil around him. Ho always took good care not to lot the snake t a purchnso with its tail on any ad jacent object , against which to squeeze Slim , Ho had many a hearty laugh at the ( right of people at the reptiles. Ono day n party of roystcring sailors got rather demonstrative around the win dow of his store , which was then on FrQiit street , and a largo crowd col lected. Mooney determinedto disperse ! t. Seizing A HUGE AND LIVELY ANACONDA from its case ho swung it ovc n'3 shoulder and rushed out in'0 l ° crowd. The snake .w ! iett and coiled Itself , thruottng its head out , nnd opened his mouth in a way to terrify the stoutest nerves. The crowd broke nnd ran , the terror-stricken sailors leading the flight , and not halting un til they had put several blocks between them and the snake. Moonoy's on slaught was long the talk of the neigh-1 borliood , and the boys wore shy about loitering around his door for months. Moonoy's courage was undaunted. Ho was a small , slender-built man , but men of twice his size who Vnow him did not cnro to incur his displcasuro. Ono day last summer a tipsy 'long shoreman of frifiantio stature made some disturbance in his shop. The follow showed fireht when ho reached tie ) sidewalk , seix.ed an empty boor- cog and hurled it at Moonoy's head. The little snake merchant dodged suc cessfully , but his wrath was up. Stepping back into the shop ho seized tn ax and renewed the attack. Tim longshoreman had by that time startod.for n pilo'pf loose pavint/jstones jear by , but seeing Mooney with up- iftod ax close upon him , ho took to lis heel. Mooney know all about snake pathology elegy , and rarely lost any of his sor- > ents from disease. It was rather tnrtling to the nerves to stop into a lis shop and see him holding open THE CAPA01OUK MOUTH OF A BOA , and touching up canker apots , from vhich the reptiles frequently stiller. 10 lost the slippery reptiles in other vnys than by disease , however. In pito of all precautions , they would occasionally escape from captivity. Mooney found one fine anaconda lead one morning several blocks from us store. An excited crowd had fol- owed it and stoned it to death , not cnowing whence it cntno. On another occasion Mooney ar rived at hia store and found that five makes wore gone. After long search hey were discovered coiled up hmido n long stovepipe that lay in n rear storeroom Tlio reptiles braced thorn- selves nnd resisted nil efforts nt getting horn out. As reptiles go without food a month at a time , the prospect ( coaxinc them out was unpromising. Finally , the rivets in the side of the pipe were cut , and the reluctant snakes tveio gotten out , a Another snake once escaped , nnd was missing for mx months. It was ivoii u ] } as hopelessly lost. Ono day , 11 removing nemo old rope and other rubbish in the loft , the snake was found , alive and well. How ho had gotten suiliciont food to keep him alive was n mystery. ) Two boas climbed from the lirsl story to the r < ) of of the building one night. In tlio morning one wa $ found dead in the street , it evidently fallen off The other was found coiled around a chimney stack. .Mr , Mooney had to keep his store lieated to a tropical temperature to ft keep his stock comfortable , In the late cold spell ho was in the habit of working in the superheated room and then going out doors without an over coat. He caught a severe cold , which resulted in pneumonia and caused his death. A Mine Seller ill Flue Street. Kan Francisco Pott Ho came down hero to sell a mine. a Ho said it was a "well-confined" ledge with prophyry for the hanging wall nnd quartzite on the under aide , with Hull' running in a straight streak trom the foot of the canon ta the summit of the hill. Ho had some chuncks of the rock in his pockotn which wore covered with HufT ft" ' tobacco dust. An old gentleman wh had herded n stove in n Coinstock saloon in 'GO , said the specks of tli iluft'nnd tobacco wore sulphurcts : Gorman gentleman who had passoi throuah Freiberg while on the way tc America , said they wore iroi byrites , impregnated mit Bulphurot of silver ; " a Comstock minor said the chmmks entire were bird's-eye per phyry. and n Pine street stock shnri remarked that it looked like the rock from the mine from the Oplnr when the big cave showed np the ore the } Backed and sent to London , "Is the mine for sale ? " asked nskoi a man whoso coat would Imvo ' "f" good material for soup in the > > hai Cheer restaurant. ' ' ' " said the I'm /'That's / what on , mine owner. .lust then Prof. Price , the well known metallurgist , came along ant pushed into the crowd , "Professor , what do you think o thisstuin" said a man who could buy two or three mines if ho wanted to. "Grindstone , " replied the jolly pro fessor. The crowd sadly adjourned , and the minor said that this was no place for an honest minor , nnd ho Iiopod _ hi might bo "condemned" ( now version" if ho didn't no to Now York , or Besting ting ; or Philadelphia , where people know something about mines anil would tnko n nmn's word on a mine , porvidin' hu snowed up n map and ai export's report. HOOP-SKIRTS IN FASHION. A Suililon Demand That the Fac tories Caunot < Moat Tlio Now Stylo. New York Enn , July J7. Foreign papers report that , in op position to the limp , lank skirt of the esthete , the Parisian modists are bringing forward the crinolot , whicl is simply n revival of the hoop-skirt. The shops in this city are again dis playing hoop-skirts , and report n gooi sale for them. At one time hoop skirt manufactories were numerous , Mid a largo capital was engaged in tin business. Since the hoop-akirt wcnl out of fashion the factories ht > vo near j. ly nil disappeared , and the capital has [ { one into other enterprises. Mr. said yoatcrday : "I recollect the time when wo em ployed 1,200 hands , and our producl was 10,000 skirts a day. That was during the war , but about 1808 tin lioop-skirt wont out of fashion , and the trade died out. There was n * " ' siont revival in 1870 , but it disuppwir- od , and from that until now io hoopskirt - skirt trade has been a very small part of our business. Wo have always continued the manufacture to some extent , getting orders every now and then , mostly * rmn tlio South nnd West. Som" ladies Jiavo never given "f the skirt at all but up the us < > " hoop ; they fmvu boon olil-fashioiiotl poor"11 who like it because o7'its comfort. Now , however , it is n fashion again. The demand lias sprung up so suddenly that it is Im possible to moot it. For the last six months there has been an increasing clcm.uid , and in the last few weeks in addition lo the local demand , wo have boon constantly receiving orders by from ' Pitts- telegraph 'Philadelphia , - burg , olid other cities , and are sold iihoad vf production all the time. Tho' ' trouble is that the oldjoporativos have . gono/nto other pursuits , and it is im- possjulo to got hands enough. At present wo are are turning out about 100 dozen a day. ' 'How do you account for the change ? " "Well , you know when fashion runs into extremes there is likely to bo a violent reaction. Hoop-skirts were driven out of fashion because the style was driven to extreme. Hoops got to be four or five yards around in the style known as 'tiltors. ' A lady could hardly got into a church pew. When she sat down her dress ballooned and took up the whole side of a street car. The papers all got to making fun of the fashion , and there was n reaction ; against hoop-skirts. Another thing that had to do with it , I suppose , was ' the hard times. It took a great deal ) of fabric to cover these big skeleton tents , and there was a Having in adopt ing narrow skirts. Now tight dressus have been pushed to an extreme , and reaction toward fuller dresses and the hoops is natural. " "How does the now style compare with the old ? " asked the reporter. "Lookatthat"uaidMr. ! , point ing to a hoop-skirt hanging from tlio coiling. It was a great circular wire cage yards around. "Now , look at this ! " and ho held up n slim , graceful skirt , with hoops secured by brond tapes , nnd running about half way up , "The old hoops run up to 150 inches in circumference. The present style runs from lifty-fiyo to sixty-five inches. Nu\v , if the niodistes'do not push the hoop-skirt down to two yards in cir cumference , it will romaiii in use. " "Him there been much clmngo in the munfactiiro of hoop-skirts ? " "All the change in the world , It was in 1857 that hoop-skirts iirstcnmo into use , 1 remember the first articles if the kind which were imported from Euiope. They worn cumbrous affairs , thu hoops 'imdu of bamboo , cuiie , or rattan. Iron was considered too licuvy material. Kteol-hoops were intro duced by American makers. It WHS u long process to got the right ( jimlity of steel. If made too hard thu stool would snap , and if too soft the hoop would bund in wear and lose its shape. Now thu utuol is BO well tempered that the hoop-skirt retains its shape and tithe ho uuino time conforms to changes of attitude in the wearer like a woven fabric. The weight of a skirt like that now coining into fashion 11 less than ono-fourtli of that of thu old style of skirt , and the now okirt wjll wtmr four times an long as the old , " At M 's the sale of hnuiiskirts wo * reported to jo increasing , "About year ago , " naid the reporter's in formant , "hoopskirts came into some demand in connection with a style of sailor waist and gathered skills for young girls , lint the ladies did not adopt it , and the demand became transient. Tho' indications now are that the hoopskirt will become fash ionable again. Thu bustle seemed to have paved the way for it. The bustle - tlo was gradually lengthened out from hip picco until it extended the length of the skirt , and was like a hoopskirt bisected longitudinally , It was a small change to make some of thu lower hoops of the bustle complete [ circles about the form. Boon the gar ment became half hoop and hulf bus Ho , nlKiul ton sloth going completely round , while llio ' remainder ere short halfhoops , ciiiling at t 10 Ijidu tapes , The hoojvs keep the folds of the dross from falling in ungraceful straight lines from the ' "I" ' , whore the ureas is spread out by 'In1 ' Inutlo. At present the article in ' ' it only half a hoopskirt , for the Mods run only half way up in front , ' "it the tonileiicy is toward complete "Mils again. The demand comes fri > m the best class of customers , and "i the Inst month or sh weeks our s.ili havq greatly increased. " \t - 's the lady in cliargo of that 'li'p.-irtmont ' also reported nil inciTiis- "it ; ( Irninml for hoopskirts by fashion- > li < ladies. The skirt is called for as in adjunct to the bustle , and is or- ranqi'd with a lateral partition of tapes , o as to throw out the roar half- 1 itvlo of hoops and support the drop * ini s and ornaments of tlic back of the skirts.

In early life M. lllniic and his spouse kept n small dry-goods store in Paris in an obscure street , near the depot of the Chun. in de For du Nord. To them gambling had irresistible charms. These charms Mere enhanced by the fact that luck was always in their favor. Money linked in freely , and in .v short time Monsieur and Madame Diane found themselves at the head of the notori ous gambling hell nt Monte Carlo , Monaco , tlio only den of the kind now remaining in Europe.

December , 1870 , greatly strengthened the position of the Jllanc family. Lovers of roulot nnd rouge-et-noir from all parts of the word repaired to Mona co , and M.

Many fatuity may have been beggared in lie Casino of Monte Carlo , many a Jidda's grave may have been dug licre ; but many anaching heart has leon made glad , nijd many nn empty tomach filled by the generosity of Madame Blanc.
