The Key West Dispatch relates
the following Of 4 youthful magi'
clan in that city:
For the benefit Of the outside
world, we have put on record the
fact that in our island city there
lives a youth, who, in himself, is
one amongst the great phenomena
of the age, Listen, and be the
Judge yourself. He can handle
snakes, scorpions, ccntipedes,. or
what not, with perfect impunity.
He makes pets and playfellows Of
the larger kind of %rattlesnakes,
twisting them around him and
dallying with their forked
tongues and ten or twelve rattles.
He actually has carried scorpions
in his bosom and wasps and hOr-
nets in his sleeves and pockets,
without receiving a bite or sting.
In the loneliness of the grove or
forest; or in any secluded place in
tested with snakes, he can, by q
few talismanic words, call around
him any number Of snakes, whom
he can charm into perfect obedi-
ence to all his mandates. He can
pick them up and lay them down
at any given place, and at his bid
ding they win remain there until
he returns, after an absence some
times Of hours.
He can take q rat, or a mouse
and so manipulate it-so put that
inexplicable tyrant spell upon it.

WHITE HOUSE TNCIpENTALs.

Some innocent persons have an
idea that the White House is en-
tirely maintained on the $4,000
.ofyearly presidential stipend. The
following items in the civil appro.
priation bill which lately passed
the House Of Representatives,
will serve to enlighten the public
on this point:

Here is the sum of s6S, 500 add

aid Of which, we trust, he will be
enabled: to maintain for another

The Vicksburg HERALD, pub

published in the South. Its edi.

TEaB SUIT or JuHN MITCHELL
John Mitchell's suit against
John A. Dix, for malicious arrest
and false Imprisonment, was
argued before Judge Freedman in
New York. The damages are
laid at $4,000. The defense
rests on the following order from
Washington:
BY Government Telegraph in
Cipher.
Dated WASHINGTON, June 6, 1865.
Major Gen. John A. Dix, New
York:
Have John Mitchell, formerly
editor of the Richmond Examiner,
arrested and sent to IT. Monroe,
Va, for confinement and trial.
Make The arrangements for his
immediate shipment before arrest
ed, and give this matter in charge
Of q discreet officer, who will not
let it go out that the arrest is to
be made until he has his man.
(Signed) U. s. GRANT.
Surprising this order to be
sufficient defense of Gen. Dix,
who will undertake to defend the
orSer? 1t was issued nearly two
months after the rebels had sur
rendered, when the country was
at peace. What is the use of laws
