Snake Charming.

A gentleman named G. T. Wirsen,i a Swest.
by birth, but for several years past a resident
of California, came to Atlanta few days ago,
and proposed to the Faculty of the Medesl!
College that he would submit to them somc
facts in relation to snake charming that must
forever put to rest the idea that such thing
as charming snake caunot be done. MIR. w.
gave one or two private exhibitions, and al
length he announced public exhibition for
Saturday last. We confess we were dubious
of the affair, and went to the exhibition rather
preudiced against the exhibitor than in his
favor. a.I
a box containing some twenty-five snakes,
among which was rattlesnake with seven rat
ties, a large cotton-mouth moccasin, the cop
per-hcad, or rattlesnake's pilot, two different
species of the viper, and several species of the
water moccasin. He first took the rattlesnake
in his hand, shook his rattles, played with him,
and coied him about his neck. He next took
the cotton-mouth meccasn, and went through
with the same manouvers with him, and so on
through with all the others. He had at one
time the whole twenty-five crawling around
his neck, shoulders and head, playing with him,
touching his whiskers with their tongues, and
actually kissing him. He put them on the
floor and tormented them in manner that
we should call cruel-but not one of them at
tempted to bite him, or to show the slightest
anger-no matter what he did. He picked
them all up and put them all into his bosom.
where they coiled and crawled for five minutes.
They were then restored to their box, every
one satisfied of one thing, that is, his complete
control over them.
A small. stout dog, at least four years old,
was then brought in, when Mr.. Wirsen took
out the rattlesnake, and in an instant the rat
ties were in motion and the anger of the snake
aroused. MIR. w. held him in his hand while
he bit the dog twice. He then coiled the rat
tlesnake around his neck, and took out the cot
ton-mouth moccasin, which bit the dog once
fercely. From the moment the dog was first
bitten, and he appeared in excellent health be-
fore, he looked dull, and drooped, and died in
an hour. This was, to ALL the most satisfacto-
ry evidence that the snakes were venomous.
but perfectly charmed, and innocent in the
hands of Mr.. Wirsen. The utmost satisfaction
was manifested by all present.-Atla,ata (Geor-
gia) I,ateuigeneer, June II.

John Van Buren, IS said to have remarked
lately that there was no deSpotism in Europe
which could compare in cruelty aud meanness
with that now tyrannizing in the Slave States;
and gave as reason that the European des-
pots had such number of subjects that they
were obliged to establish some general rules
OF action while an enlightened public senti-
ment, together with desire of maintaining
characters for generosity, had given to their
conduct some show of justice and iiberalty.-
But, said the Prince, your little one-horse des-
pots are not restrained by any such consid-
erations, and do not govern even by anything
so respectable as their absolute will, being
often controlled more by the merest caprice
An occurrence of the last week furnishes evil
dence in affirmation of these views. John B.
Brown is farmer and a dairyn1an residing in
the county of Alexandria, Va, about four
miles from Long Bridge, on the farm formerly
owned by the late Gov. Van Ness. For many
years since the purchase of this farm, he has
supplied goodly portion of the citizens of
Washington with milk. and a variety of other
necessary products of his we'll cultivated land.
Being man of mind and observation, he had
pOSoHiC d AsC pubilNot thiIt " do a GCi-
egate from his State to the late National Con
vention at Chicago. This, of course, greatly
enraged the fire eating Democracy of his neigh
borhood. One day last week, being in the
City of Washington, he procured from the
post Office his papers-the Tribune, the Balti-
more Sun, and the Washington Star. He
also obtained during the day, four copies Of
the Helper Compend, not for circulation but
for the use of himself and his family Such is
the lynx-eyed espionage of the despotism to
which we alluded, that Mr.. Brown hardly
crossed Long Bridge, on his way home, before
he was seized, searched, and, for having these
terrible publications in his pocket, he was -hur-
gied to the city of Alexandria, and compelled
to give bail in $4,000 to escape confinement
in the common Jail. We venture to say that
neither Austria nor Naples, in the palmiest
day of their tyranny, ever exceeded this out
rage upon personal freedom.-N. Y. Tribune
