tion thnu the city of Lc.idrillo ,
Scarcely thrco years Imvo passed since
the Brent mining "boom" wns started
nnd the inoro innrvollous stories wore
circulated of the treasures hidden in
the fastnesses of Cnrbon.ito nnd Fry
er's hills. All Colorado wont mad ,
nnd the oxciteinent swept over the
whole country.Vnll street brokers
lost thcii4 wits ; staid St. Louisans
placed their hands deep in thnir pock *
ets , nnd forgot , for thu timo-boing , to
prate "Ohicagouna" used their keen
wits for the while the silver oxcito-
inont ntlcctod persons of nil ranks ,
from the mechanic nnd people of high
nnd low degree. At thnt time noth
ing save n forest of scrub pine nnd
sngo brush covered the entire vnlley
in which Londvillo is situated , nnd
the high mountains which encircle it
were nearly covered with perpetual
snow. At the present time there are
long strcots thnt nro lined with sub
stantial business houses ; n handsome
court-house , post pll'ico nnd opera-
houao ndorn Harrison nvonnc. nnd
the telegraph , telephone , gas nnil oth
er modern inventions which n popula
tion of thirty thousand people have
found it necessary to employ ; extend
to the hotels , stores nnd many public
buildings. It is n place of mysteries ,
situated in the heart of the ttockics , n
place barren of shndo trees , not n
( lower or spear of grass in sight to relieve
liove the dull monotony of the land
scape. "It hnsn distinct individuality ,
mitt with nil its dreary surroundings
there nro subtle charms hidden deep
in the fastnesses of the mountain
sides in pockets of silvery brightness ,
nnd the hardy miner that delves in :
the cnrth for treasures ut times find
a mine wealth , but oftener it proves
the grave of buried hopes nnd blast
ed fortunes. Away up the dizxy
heights of Carbonate nnd Fryer's hill '
shafts have been sunk nnd located ,
nnd .1 map of the mining district of .
Lcadvillo shows claims overlapping
each other in some instances horn
thrco to live in depth which often .
give nu opportunity for oxcerciso in
knife nnd pistol pleasantry. Only n
few days nio iv dyamite charge wns
planted under the bay window of the
residence of n man high in ollico , who
[ md employed men to jump claims.
Several had been killed at different
limes , while their employer went scot
free. I urn happy to state that the
pseudo owner of the mine found the
iltitudo of Leadyille unpleasant , and
lias left for a diil'eiont atmosphere.
Hie approaches to Lendvillo are very
lisngreeablu. For at least six miles
From the city the forests luvvo been
lenuded of timber , and largo cones
: nu bo seen along the roadway , whcih
ire used in making charcoal 'for the
smelting and reduction works , and the
itmosphero is fearfully impregnated
ivith sulphur , and thu strongest lungs
ire necessary , and : is there is no sow-
jrago system in thu city typhoid and
mountain fever hold high carnival at
ill scasonn of the year. Every ave
nue for miles about the city is strewn
with kitchen olfal , ( in cans and bottles
tles of every description , and thu
ikeletons of horses , nuiles , ( ixcn and
ilnnkcy.1 that have fallen by thu way
side atl'ord anything but an aromatic
jdor and give a , most unpleasant im
pression to the tourist in quest of the
diver region of Leadville. Hundreds
) f log cabins have been built under
ho Hhmlo of Carbonate and Fryer
lillH , unpleasant and dreary , that
ent from , fifteen to twenty dollars per
Tiontli , nnd more pretentious druli
ngs of from thrbo to five rooms com-
nand fabulous prices. The cost of
iving is fifty per cant higher than in
Eastern cities and skilled labor com-
nands its own terms. House ser
vants receive ten dollars per week ,
lay laborers from two to three dollars
ier day. The city authorities have
i summary way in dealing with tramps ,
botpads and drunkards. Instead of
lending them to the Workhouse , " to
ivu in the idleness , they are utilized
m the public works , and if refractory
ire manacled and forced to carry
icavy balls as punishment. Lcadvillo
ms changed in every respect during
ho last two years. Formerly Harri-
ion avenue and Chestnut street were
irowded at all times with surging
nasses of people , buildings were
> eing erected in all parts of the city , :
ind every branch of trade was in a
nest prosperous condition. The
nines were being rapidly developed
ind yielded more silver and at less ox-
> cnso than any mincH in thu state , but
it present a < puietus seems to prevail
its glories are rapidly passing away.

Sail I'rancl.-uo Call.
While at lierkeley last week a rep
resentative of the Call chanced to
nect J. J. llivcrs , the Curator of the
University Museum , who knows as
nuch about bugs mid their kindred as
Dr. Jkehr , if not inoro , nnd who is
jetUr posted on snakes of the truly
tiral varieties than any man in Cal-
fornia , The museum has quito a
lollectionoi California snakesof every '
> ossiblo color , barred , and spotted ,
ind striped with crimson , red , nnd
rellow , and nil these more sombre
mes which simulate the color of the
; round on which they Ho and bask in
unlight until the unwary picnicker of
ir picnickoss steps on them with n
cream.
I (
"Do yon see that follow up there ? "
aid Mr. lUvors , pointing to a huge
cd Bimko some ton foot long nnd two
nches thick , of the kind known as a
; ophor-snake. "I'd rather ho vo that
ellow on my farm if I had a farm
han 810. You would bo astonished
t the amount of vermin of all kinds
hey can get away with gophers , rab-
> its , squirrels , birds anything in
act that ho is big enough to got liim-
elf outside of , and that moans a good
leal , although you might not think
t to look at him.
"You are aware , I suppose , of the
( cculiur construction of the lower
aw. It can bo unhingedBO to speak ,
nd then the snake is nothing inoro
han n long sack with the mouth open.
Imvo watched one of them utov
.way a squirrel long tail nnd all
without making any bones about it ,
lo commenced at tha head and alow-
y drew the squirrel in bit by bit , his
eeth and jaw working on the uni-
nal Bomowhat ns n man drawn in a
opo hand over hand. Finally the
tody was safely housed and then only
the tail romninod thnt slipped down
in the twinkling of nn oyc. I never
realized until then why snnkos Were
mndo no long it is to make roout fo
the inconvenient tails of other nn
mnls predestined to bo snnko munt
In nn improved state of existence
when the tails Imvo boon cvolutiut ,
izcd on" the b.iekn of the ether nn !
mala , probably snakes will cut short
or. "
"Do they lick tlioir prey smooth
ns the boa constrictor is snid to do , t <
mnko it slip down cnsily ? "
" .No , they Uiko itstrniithtnmlwith
out any nttompt at sensoning of tlm
kind. All these California unnki's ,
however , with the exception of rat'
tlesnnkcs , nro true constrictors
They kill tilth * prey by crushing it
Ilnvo you over scon n gopher trying
to catch n dove by taking n mean nd
vantage of its maternnl instincts it
nestling time ? IN'o ? Well , the snake
will squirm up the prickly atom of n
cactus-plant until it gets near the
nest , which is usually not very
up , nnd then n long nnd bitter light
begins between the dove nnd its mate
on one side nnd the snake on the oth
er. The former don't nlwnys got the
woest of it , either , I have seen n
dove knock n snnko clean oil'a cactus
brunch to the ground with n blow of
its wings , nnd then the snake crawled
nwny , ns if ho did not want any more
uf thnt. But it generally ends the
uthor way the doves keep up nn nu-
gry , terrified screaming nnd bulTotiiig
with their wings until they nro tired I
put , nnd the snnko just bides his time :
in deadly silence until ho can catch
some part of the dovo's body in his
mouth. The dove neVer moves after
that-ho seems completely pnralizod ,
is it wore. "
"Ho does not kill it with bin
Inngsi"
" .No ; ho simply nnd slowly winds
) no deadly coil nftor another round
ho dove until its body is completely
3iivolopcd in his folds , nnd then one
linglo scraunch does the business. "
"Don't they sometimes kill nni-
mils thnt nro useful or harmless on n
'arm ? "
"Very seldom. The birds which
.hoy kill nro not many nfter nil ; nnd
hey arp the most harmless ninmnls
.hoy kill. The amount of hurtful
crniin which they destroy in the
: ourse of n year is incalculable. A
ittlo discriminating knowledge uf this
tint ! would bo very useful to fnrmors.
L'hero are numbers of insects , for in-
itancp , which they now class ns .their
iiiomies , simply because they are bugs ,
rliich are entirely useful. A Stnte

"Aro there any venomous Eunices

' ' .No ; there are nono. When 1 am
tut hunting specimens I simply catch
my kind of a snake in my hands ox
ept a rattlesnake , nnd him I cntuh in
ny butterlly not. Kattlosnakea dill'cr.
rom the others in their method of '
lilling their prey. I have watched ,
me ot thorn killing a rat. Ho struck
iim two or thrco times witli his fangs ,
md the rat died in n few minntea , t
kicking convulsively tor nn in
ialit or so. After ho had struck the
at tlio snake drew back and waited
itill and .motionless as a stone until . .
ic thought ho was dead. Ho then
lame forward and felt him from head 1
o tail with his nose , and when the ] ,
at gave another 'kick ' while ho was
loing BO ho drew quickly back again
md waited in the same- motionless
nanner until ho thought the rat was
urcly dead. Then ho felt him again ,
.md assured himself this time that i ,
ho rat wns really dead. A snake' '
eat anything alive in fact a c
ivo nit might bo n disagrcablo inmate ,
iVhnther ho know that the rat was
lead by the stoppage of his heart
> eats , or in some other manner , I do .
tot know , but I nm convinced that ho
issupcd himself of that fact in some
vay before ho commenced to assim-
late the rat. "
"Is that hairy , long-logged thing Ice
co in the case a tarantula. " '
"No ; there are no true taruntulas
n California , but that is what is known
> u this coast as a tarantula. Tho. . „
nrantula proper belongs to Eurupo , '

. omors hero being from that country

inscientific eyes seemed just the same
is their own tarantulas , they named
t accordingly. Its true name is the : '
rap-door spider so called from the
mrious doors they build to close thu
tntrnnco of their nests. There is one
> f the nests. You BOO it has n perfect
nip-door lifting on u hinge , and con-
itructcd of dirt hold together by some ,
nuciltiginous substance. It fits titht-
y into the mouth of the hole , which
a a perfect circle. Do you know , it
juxzled mo grently when I first came
.o this coast how that long-legged
hingwus to got into any of these
mull holes , which as you tiee , nro .
.bout half nn inch in diameter. You ;
co his body above is nnarly aa largo i
.s the hole , nnd it would bo necessary
o take off his legs altogether to get
iim safely inserted in the nest. I
bought at first that they were on-
lowed with the power of articulating
ir casting off their limbs ns some nni-
unls do the crab , for instance but
nttcrwards found out that these nro
ho males , and they never go into the
iolcs , which nro nests nnd not houses.
L'ho fomnlo is very much smaller and
ittonds to all that business herself.
Vlien she gets through with her bus-
and she eats him up I suppose , "
aid Mr. Rivera , with a quiet twinkle
'to see that ho docs not go wroiiK
fterwards. '
"How does this species differ from
ho trus tarantula ? "
'Do you BOO these venomous-look-
ng nippers or mandibles which tuni
ownward in this snider ? Well in
lie true tarantula those inandobles
xtond out horiEontally in front of ,
lie aninal. That is the main differ-
nco , and the mistake made by the
rat-comera to this coast was a very
atural ono to any but n trained
aturalist. "
At this point the conversation

After seeing "Michnol SlrogofF ,
wo were disctisslng , at the club , the
de > ice of Stephen Fisko to hold the
teh'jrnph wires by Bondinjr the bible
through to the Herald , ns represented
in the piny , when Mr. Fisko himnelf
str led in nnd wns importuned to give
us the fnct. "It isn't much of a story , "
said ho ; "but ns it has been told in A
( lozurHUfforeitt wayis in newspapers
and
,
found tlwt the ( ulegmpli oflioe was not
open on Sunday , so 1 paid the opem-
tor 810 nnd bin ollice expunAos to send
my Sunday message. While I wiw
writing the message n Tiibunu reporter -
or came in nnd wanted the operator to
telegraph lux nous , which thu operator
declined to do , Then , instead
if ) asking mo for a chance nt
the wires , thu Tribune follow
went to thu Hon. John Hose , then
premier of Canndn , nnd one of thu
lireetorsof thu telegraph company ,
md obtnined a written order , which
; he operator dared not disobey , thnt
.ho Tribune message must bo Bent
rhen mine wns completed. As the
IVibune did not use much telegraph
hen , 1 concluded thnt thoru must bo
lomu important news allo.it which
must gain time to procure. Besides
resented the ide.i thnt n Canadian
iremier should interfere between
wo American papers , and issue
m ox pnitu order. So 1 called
ho operator's attention to the phrase ,
when Mr. Fisko's message is com-
ileted , ' and ns soon ns thnt idea
ras well into his head , I informed
iim that ho might toll the Tribune
nan that my message would not bo
omplotcd until Monday morning.
i'hun I telegraphed my news ; then
ny mail letter ; then I saved How-
rd his postage by adding his letter
o The Times nnd then looked about
or nmmnnition. The only two books
could find nt the hotel were the
iible nnd Claude Duvnl , the Dashing
lighwnymnn , BO I ( inked the opor-
tor which he would prefer. Ho an-
wered ait profanely that 1 thought u
080 of lliblo would , do him good.
tut , instead of commencing with the
irst chapter of Genesis , as Jules
rerno describes , I selected a part of
lie first chapter of Matthew , nnd
egged the operator to bo very paiiicu-
ir about the names. llavo you a
liblo hero ? Thanks. This i.s the style
f the thing.
" 'And Judah begnt Thares nnd
lara of Thamar ; nnd Phares begat
] arom ; and Esrom begat Aram ; and
Li-am begat Aminadnb ; and Amina-
nb begat Naason ; nnd Nnason begat
i.ilmon ; nnd Salmon bjgut liooot
tacbab ; and Uoon begat Obod of w
{ nth ; andObcd begat Jesse. '
"Tlioro was about a column of that ,
nd thuu I skipped over to the hist
b'aptor but ono of Kovolations and
-roto out some inoro nice names for
iim. Hero is si specimen :
" 'The first foundation was jnspor
ho second sapphire , the third n chal-
odony , the fourth nn emerald , the
ifth sardonyx , the sixth sardins.tho
evcnth chrystolytotho eighth beryl ,
ho ninth n topax , the tenth a ohryso-
iruEus , the elovcnth a jncinth , the
welfth nn amothyst.1
"Before I had ended this chapter 'it
vns after 2 o'clock in the morning ,
md Rochester tolcgrnphod mo that
ho wires were down. So 1 paid my
jill and wont to bed , leaving The
Dribuno reporter fuming in the
jar-room and wondering what Fred-
srick Hudson would say when ho
end my Bible messago. All day Mon-
lay there was an ominous silence.
L'hon , on Tuesday The Tribune wns
tind enough to publish nn editorial
.elling the story nnd demnndim ; my
lischargo. This gave The Herald the
idvertiscment it wanted , and more
ban repaid the extra outlay. So , in
ho afternoon , Mr. Hudson tologmph-
sd mo : 'Good ! Go ahead ! Your
alary is increased from ilnte. ' Every-
) ody laughed at the joke ; I had good
muse to laugh with them , and The
L'ribuno man has never ceased to abuse
no since , although ho long ngo left
ho country. "

Ono of the novel affairs , says The
jawronco Journal , took placein this
ity yesterday. At about 11'o'clock
man nnd womnn appeared nt Ham-
[ ton's millinery store , desirous of
lurchnsing , The man announced that
hey were to bo married at noon nnd
hat ho wished the Indy to select what
ho wanted , for which ho would pay.
. 'ho ' woman solcctod n daisy white hat ,
bosom bouquet , a pair of white kid
lovcs , n wreath for the hair nnd a
eel-tie , nil amounting to something
ike nine dollars. The man loft his
oon-to-bo bride there and went to the
lank whereho said ho had money.
n a short time ho cnmoback. Ho snid
ho friend of whom ho was to got
nonoy had not put iium appearance ;
, 'ould Mr. Hamilton lot them
nko the goods without the money ,
'hey wore to bo married ut 12 ; he
ms working for n liveryman in thin
ity , nnd by 1 o'clock , when the wed-
ling would bo oyor ho would certainly V
omo around nnd pay the money.
Inmillon is not n hard hearted man ,
nd could not refuse under the cir-
iimstnnces. Ono o'clock came , how-
vor , but not the promised bride-
room. Two hours Inter Mr. Hamil-
on wont in search of his man and
aund him at the stublo curing for his
lorsos. The man acknowledged ho
lad no money to pay with and could
iot ruiBO any. The aid of the police
-ns called in , and finally a compromise
ms effected by Hamilton taking back
lie wedding trousseau , nave the gloves
nd necktie , which were Boiled , and
Inch with the aid of the httlo money
ho bride had they managed to pay
3r. When oflicor Harbaugh snid to
ho bride she would have to give up
lie goods or ho would have to arrest
or husband , eho Baidsho would "gtvo
p anything rather than her John. "
