snake Charming.

A gentleman named G Il. Wirsen, =
Swcde by birth, butf0r several years past
q resident Of California, camo to Atlanta
n few days ago and proposed to the Fa-
Guilty Of the Medical College that ho
would submit to them some facts in re-
lation to snake charming that must for
ever put to rest the idea that such thing
as charming snake can not be done =
Nr. W. gave one or two private exhibi-
lions, md at length he announced u pub
lie exhibition for Saturdy last. We con-
TESS we were dubious of the affair, and
went to the exhibition rather prejudiced
against the exhibitor than 10 his favor.
A box containing some twenty-five
snakes, among which was rattlespake
with seven rattles, a large cot.on-mouth
moccasin, the copper-head, or rattle
snakes pilot, two different species OF tho
viper, aud several species of the water
moecasin. He first took the rattlesnake
in bis hand, shook his rattles, played with
him, and coilod him about his neck. -
lie next took the cotton mouth moccasin,
ana went through with the same maneu-
vers with him, and SO on through with
all the others. re had at one time tho
whole twenty-five crawling around his
neck, shoulders aud head, playing with
hun, touching bis whskers with their
tongues, and actually kissing him. He
put them on the floor aud tormented them
in manner that we would call cruel
but not ono Of them attempted 90 bite
him, or to show the slightest angcr-no
matter what be did. II picked them all
up and put them all inLo bis bosom {!
where they coiled aud crawlcd for five
minutes They were then restored to
their box, every one satisfied Of one
thing, that is bis complete control over
them.
A small stout dog, at least four years
old, was then brought in, when Mr.. Wiz
sen took oat the rattlesnake, and in AM
instant the rattles were in motion and
the anger Of the snake aroused Mr.. w
held him in his hand while he bit thd
dog twice. He then cciled the rattlt
snake around bis neck, and took out tht
cotton.lnouth moccasin, which bit thd
dog once forcely From the moment
the dog was first bitten. and he appeared
in excellent health before, be looked dull,
and dropped and died in an hour. This
was, 10 all the most satisfactory evidence
that the snakes were yenomous, bat per-
fectly charmed and innocent in the hands
of Mr.. Wirscn The utmost satisfaction
was manifested by all present -. Aaanta

Teacher" let me ask you question:
As you compel every man to pay bis tax,
will you likewise compel every man to
send his children to school? The one
should follow as a consequence upon the
other. You certainly would not have US
pay our taxes for purpose which the law
gives you no power to carry into effect.
If you are ready to add on this necessary
provision to the law, then your argument
might have some force but let me ask
you, has he day arrived when parents
are willing to surrender the control, in
struetion and care of their children, TO
the teachers and five commissioners If
it has rot, then your law is premature,
and l cannot believe that the people of
Montgomery county are yet prepared to
surrender these great and inherent rights,
established not only by society, but by
the immutable laws of God. / fear,
Mr.. " Teacher" that simple lucre is the
governing influence in your breast, as it
is palpablc, from the tenor of your arti-
Gle, that you bow at the shrine of 5000
year. Beware, Mr.. Teacher" Of the
avarice that rankles in your own heart.
Let it not shed blasting influence over
the tender plants that may be entrusted
to your care. If you should prove to be
one Of the eight fortunate ones in your
district, | wish you mnch Joy with your
scventy-fve scholars these long summer
days, and il you do your duty, you will
be justly entitled to your $500 at the

SHE LOVED HIM.
by GEORGE P. NORRIS.

She loved him but she knew it not
Her heart had only room for pride,
All other feelings were forgot,
When she became another's bride.
As from dream she then awoke,
To realize her lonely state,
And own it was the vow she broke
That made her drear and desolate.
She loved him but the slanderer came,
With words of hate that all believed
A stain thus rested on his name,
But he was wrong'd and she deceived.
All, rash the act that gave her hand,
That drove her lover from her side,
Who flied him 10 distant land,
Where, battling for name, he died.
She loved him and his memory now
Was treasured as thing apart
The shades of thought were on her brow,
The seeds of death were in her heart.
For all the world, that thing forlorn
would not, could not be and live,
That casket, with its jewel gone
A bride who has no heart to give.

REMARKABLE SPRING In Greene
county, Va, there is remarkable natu-
raj curiosity known as the Tidal Spring"
The water issues out Of the ground in a
bold stream sufficiently strong to turn a
small grist mill, and it continues to flow
for fifteen or twenty minutes, when the
water ceases to run, and ia two minutes
time not a solitary drop Of water is yisi-
bic. In the course Of an hour or two
the water commences flowing again, and
flows twenty or thirty minutes, when it
again ceases. In wet weather il flows
every hour, and in dry weather it flows
about sevOn or eight times every twenty
four hours.

1.-THE History of the Hibernia En-
CINE Company" This is sect of
fire worshippers much esteemed and
feared by the people. The influence of
these fire worshippers is so great that
many citizens now permit their buildings
to be consumed by that sacred element,
rather than have them saved by water,
We visited building called the State
House, which is esteemed sacred, as it
contains the bell which calls the fire
worshippers to the performance of their
duties. 1t is here, also, that a room is
kept where fire pilgrims FROM other lands
are received with great honor,
1t would, however, take too much of
the short time permitted us for repose,
for me to describe all [ have seen and
heard have stolen these few moments
from some ladies', who have been seeing
my head shaved, and are now waiting to
examine the other operations of my
toilet. | refrain from signing my name,
