GEN. Scorr's SNAKE SToRY.-During a
dinner given by Fernando Wood, lin his
Mayoralty of New York, in 1855, Gen. Scott,
who was present, having been toasted, was
called upon for his snake story. II seems
that during the Florida campaign, the Cen
eral and his staff were quartered for might,
in rough building constructed from the
ground, and the floor open:at various places.
Scarcely had the preparations for the biyouac
been completed, when noise from below of
rattling told conclusively that rattlesnakes
had their bvouac on the ground under the
floor. Indeed, they were soon seen from
above as a goodly battalion. 81 went outside
and measured with my eye" said General
Scott, "the height of the floor from the ground
and saw at: once was beyond reach, by
about two inches, of the tallest rattlesnake
ever known. knew as boy, from expert
ments, that the rattlesnake never jumped or
dartcd. l returned and told the officers that
intended nevertheless, to sleep on the floor,
