MitchiH's Memoir on t,co headed Snakes--A
tracted large share of notice, from the days Of
Aristotle and Olian, was read on March 9th 1924
to the Lyceum of Natural History. DIR. Mitchill
the author, endeavoTed to prove that all such pro-
auctions, wherever they have been found in ancient
and IN modern times, are, without exceptions don.
STEERS. Serpens with two heads had been seen so
frequently; had lived such considerable time ;
had attained such magnitude and seemed even in
the torklng OF the neck to be symmelricay form.
ed, that an opinion had been entertained by natu-
ralists OF an anomaly in nature, constituting them
distinct genus or race. 1t had never been stated
from what parentage they sprung. nor from what
source they derived their origin. Or. Mitchill has
been enabled to determine this matter, in the most
unequivocal manner, from natural specimens actu-
ally in his own collection. Sometime ago DR..
Voight, OF Rochester, presented to him three
young serpents each having two heads. They were
part Of litter amounting to one hundred and tl0ea
tH brought forth by female BLack Sndke, the
Coluber Constructor Of North America Where
by, for the first time, we have discovered the dam
or mother OF such progeny, and ascertained, be-
yond doubt, the monsrosity. DR.. M. goes on
TO demonstrate that there various species of
anakes breeding monsters with two heads and
sometimes two talls and that these deformed or
ms=shapen creatures have oucurred in New York,
Greece, Italy, England, West Indies, Polynesia.
Generally, at least far as observation goes, they
are the offsprings of riripar0us serpents and he
concludes, that 10 whatever family they belong, or
from whatever country they may come, they to
be deemed irregular and monsterous, and viewed by
biologists accordingly York. IL. Post.

FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER
THE MURDERER.

THE MURDERER.
Behold the murderer as he stands
With folded arms,
Behold the blood upon his hands.
He smies--but conscience is not stilled
lie smles--but yet his soul is filed
With wild alarms.
He flies unto the mantling bowl,
To drown his care
But conscience never knew control.
Doth he the sparkling goblet raise,
His startled fancy straight poultrays,
His victim there.
With desperation next he seeks,
The midnight brawl
But conscience still in science speaks:
Though loud the shouts Of reyelry.
lie hears his victims dying sigh,
Above them all,
To gamcster's haunts he next repairs,
To soothe his grief;
But vain his toll. Though years on years,
And age on age, away should roll
The tolments Of guilty soul,
Know no relief.
In vain the memory of that deed,
He strives to shun:
Upon his heart rcmorse will feed,
Though safe, perchance, from justice, still
The pangs OF guilt will pierce him, till
is rae, is run.
