One day a visitor was foolhardy enough to attempt, for a trifiing wager, to get out on the slanting point of one of the batteries, overlooking the sea, and there keep up dancing for several minutes. The sentry remonstrated with the visitor, and order him desist. Finding, at length. that the stranger would persist in hit foolish and dangerous antics, the sentry brought his musket to bear on him, and threatened intnt death. This action secured compliance with orders. The sentry was, however, brought before court of inquiry on a charge of having exceeded his authority, and having dis regardel instructions in preventing the stranger's disposing of his life as hetiked best.

An amusing encounter between t water snake and an eel occurred in the Hudson i;i er, near a dock at Glasco, X. Y. Reccatly a party of fishermen not:ced a .-commotion in the shallow water on one side of the dock, and lean ing over they saw a large water snake moving landward, with an eel nearly half the size of the snake. The reptile had the eel by the throat, and the slimy tnmg was evidently making for dry ground, where it could more easily dis patch its prey, which was making a fran tic effort to get free. Twice the eel squirmed itself loose from the snake and made lor tne waier, out ea?n time 11 was lecaptured and brought to "land. After a third chase for the eel the snake seemed to lose all patience, and winding itself about the wriggling eel, pressed nearly all the life out of it, and then dropped it on the beach. The eel was apparently dead. The snake wound itself in and out of a little opening under the dock, return ing every now and then to smell its pre sumably dead prey, for wh'ch it was evidently getting up an appetite. The latter bad just disappeared under the rock a fourth time when the eel, which had been playing 'possum, began moving toward the water. When the snake re turned to the spot and found no fish for dinner its movements were like those ot an angry, disappointed ch Id. It lashed its tail furiously, coiled itself half a d.en times as though preparing to at tack an enemy, moved rapidly round and round the spot where the eel had lain, and then made for the open water, whence it was soon lost to view. Neva York Sun. - The Noble Horse or St Petersburg. One can find poor horses in Russia I suppose, writes a correspondent of the New Orleans Pioiyune, but very few in Petersburg or other large cities. They are tall, -long-legged animals, with slen der bodies and limbs, long silken manes and tails, the latter nearly always reach ing to the ground, small heads, small feet large intelligent eyes, and neeks arched like the chargers one sees in pic tures of the Bedouins of the desert I always thought that such horses were the creations of the artists, but Russia is full of them. The ishvoshtnik is always proud of his horse, if he is a good one. Nearly all the time he is disengaged he is either petting or rubbing his horse, and at intervals he brings out a little nose bag from under the seat to feed him oats or meal.asThe harness of the horse is as light leather can be made, none of the straps being more than half an inch in width, and most of t .em are round, not larger than a lead pencil. There is no breechen because there are no grades in Petersburg; the country is perfectly level. There are no blinders on the bridle, and the horse fears nothing; he will walk up to a locomotive with as much indifference as his master. He never shies, never gets rattled, never mm awy, but is perfectly obedient to Jhe voice of his master. I did not see a whip during my entire stay in Peters burg, but the . ishvoshtnik keeps ur a continual one-sided conversation with his fleet-footed partner. The effect of the driver's voice is peculiar, and an ob servant rider will be interested in studying this odd relationship. kolor Yellcr. Beats ajfvl Shoe machinery.
