SNOWMAN ELOOUENCE.

The following is the latest piece of
Snowman eloquence:
Gentlemen, this is the celebrated
bca constrictor-the finest, largest,
strongest and prettiest animal of its
species in this country. He was
caught in South America as he lay
torpid after swallowing two oxen and
a drove of sheep, in a wire net his
capture affording beautiful Iillustra-
ton of successful wire pulling. It
was. supposed that the sand where he
was te5pids:sswas hot enough to bell
eggs, and that his skin was at least
well done'-this is proved by its high
ly finished appearance. His color is
supposed to combine all the hues of
all snakes that eyer hissed or bit, from
the old serpent to the Conger eel.
His size is variable, as, like most OBJ
jects in nature, he expands with heat
and contracts with cold. For every
rise of five degrees in the thermome-
ter he gets foot in longitude. In his
native sands he is one hundred and
fifty feet long. The warm season of
our own country stretches him twen-
ty-five feet. Last January, when the
thermometer fell sixteen degrees, he
shrunk to such trifling dimentions as
to be invisible through microscope.
His present length you eau see for
yourselves. His temperance princi-
pies are of the Goughist kind. He is
asdozen eoldswarer societies rolled in
to one.5 His drink at his present di-
mensions is three gallons of water per
week, and his food three more gallons.
He has great natural talents for poll
tics, which he shows by changing his
coat four times year. Price of ad-
mission, 25 cents."-Neac Orleans
Times.
