every nook and corner was searched, nc
snake was found. All retired again, but
were soon to be startled by the old man S
excited cries for help and lights, as if he
was holding something with all his
strength. John went to him thinking
he had the nightmare, but to his sur
prise, found him awake, and holding
something under the covers with all his
might After searching under the COW
ering, it was found to be snake on the
inside Of the tick, among the feathers
1t was pulled out, and found to be very
strong and active, and was about seven
feet in length. The question is for nat
uralists to solve, how did this snake sub
sst among the feathers, as it must have
been in there for six years without food
Of any kind or water. The ticking was
new when the hole was torn, and there
never had been but that one hole in the
bed, until one was cut to pull the snake
out.

But Glover was rescued and sent off to

tho following:
About tie year 1899, one. E. Baker.
moved TO Bayou Ksatchie, in the south
ern portion OF Natchitoches Parish
During bis travels there had been CON
siderable rain, which made il necessary
that everything should be summed. One
OF the feather beds had by acciden. a
hole torn in il an inch square. This
hole wac patched while it lay on brush
heap, summing. Shortly afterwards the
sleepers on this bed were troubled with
dreams Of snakes and often its occupants
actually believed snake was in bed
With them, and would bounce on: 0! bed
in grea. alarm. BIZ; would ,etura after
yiroyous bc, uniruitiul search. Two
years after Baker came to Kiss.chie, the
eldcs. daughter was married TO j. W.
Brown, and took this bed bone with her;
yet its sleepers continued TO have Wis
lens OF snakes, and An occasional search
was Instituted for the intruder. Four
wears after their marriage, Baker visited
his daughter, and was put upon this bed.

Secession and Sorghum.

The danger, now imminent, that be-
fore the next harvest is reaped, the polit-
ical troubles which now agitate the coun-
try, may ripen into war with the
traitors OF the South, bids our farmers
begin early to prepare for the commercial
wants which this new and deplorable
state Of things will create. We point
out fact or two which they should bear
in mind.
Louisiana, one of the rebellous States,
furnishes large share of the sugar that
is consumed in the Northwest If her
industry is interrupted or embarrassed, as
it will be if she carries out her pro-
gramme, by diversion of a part of her
labor to military pursuits, and by the
widespread and alarming slave insur-
rections which will break out and if the
ordinary channels of commerce are clos
ed, as they will be, that source of sugar
supply will be cut off, and we must
look to Cuba for all that our people can
afford to consume, unless advantage is
taken of the productiveness Of our soil
to raise for ourselves crop of Sorghum
which will yield enough syrup and crys-
talized sugar to supply our markets. II
is fortunate at this juncture. that this
l. i
way that no one doubts it. 1t is I'M
questionably, in prudent and pains-tak-
ing hands, not only one of the most GER
tain but most remuneratiye of all crops
that the farmer can put into the ground :;
and nothing but some necessity which
shall compel our men of science to in
resugate and utilize the crystalline prop.
critics Of its product, prevents its taking
the place OF cane sugar all over the West.
Any interruption of trade, any great
public calamity which should put for
eign luxuries out of the power Of tie
masses, would make domestic sugar from
the Sorghum an article of profitable and
very general cultivation,
We desire to hint now that If .rouble
is ahead, it is the part OF prudence and
patriotism to make the State Of Illinois
self-sustaining, and as far as possible,
independent, for all the necessaries of
our civilization, Of all the rest of the
world, Sugar stands. after bread, meat,
salt and wearing apparel, at the head of
the list hence we hope that no farmer
in the West will neglect 10 plant, as ear
" and as carefully as may be, his share
Of Sorghum, SO that, happen what may,
We shall be under no obligation, next
year, to the slave labor Of louisiana !;
Gnd 80 hat ia all time to come these
Western States may produce, at least,
ali the sugar that their people can con
sumo. There are now in Illinois several
sugar mills in successful and profitable
operation and there are, we dare assert,
already thousands Of families who are
wholly supplied with sugar from their
own farms. If Louisiana seceIes, there
will be 4 mill in every school district,
and within three years from this time,
importa;ions Of sugar will be confined
wholly to those finer varieties, which
great self-indulyence demands. Mark
The prediction, put plenty OF seed into
the ground, and i; will prove TO be true.
