THE SNAKB TRADE.
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"

I'm
/'That's / what on ,
mine owner.
.lust then Prof. Price , the well
known metallurgist , came along ant
pushed into the crowd ,

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.

M L'llnosday. Her husband preceded
her n few years since. 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. The sup
pression in 187of the green-cloth-
clail tables of the German watering-
places , followed by the bouncing ol

pi iotor of n Nice theatre , from the
"hell" nt Snxoii-Ies-Uniiis , Canton ,
Val.iis , Switzerland , on the 31st o !
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

life with the satisfaction of knowing
that his family was one of t/io / best
