Tail Of the RattIesnake.

a queer controversy has been going on
as to the real design in nature in placing
rattlcs upon the tail G. the reptile in ques-
ton. 1t has hOcn urged us an objection
TO the theory of natural selection that tho
tall Appcndagc Of the rattlusnakc must be
injurious to tho ANNUAL by attracting to it
the notice Of Its enemies, Prof. Shalcr
has, however, observed that the noise of
tho ratio is scarcely distinguishablc from
tho sound made by M American spccies
of cicddd, and he c0Djectures that tic OBJ
jcct Of the rhttlc is to attract within reach
Of tho snake tho birds which naturally
focd upon tho cicddd. This he considers
to be Tie explanation of tho mode in
Whioh birds nrc seen to lutter round n
rattlcsnake without chilling into play tho
theory Of fascination.
That the rattle of the snake resembles
in sound tho note of the cicddd, and thus
serves to cntico birds, is strongly contro-
Vcrrcd by Mr.. +. Putnam, whose remarks
on tho subject before the Essex Institute

ASTOUNDING PERsPICUITY. - For a
near sighted individual, who has to
wear glasses to distinguish black from

astounding faculty of g seeing things, :"
and poking his nose into other people S
business, of any body in the community.
This can only be accounted for upon
the hypothesis that II. A. is inspired
by spirits, and develish lying spirits at
that. He has it that NJ. S. Bonnifeld
has, or is to have. a law Office in the
SILVER STATE building. Conceding
that such is the fact, is that any of Mr..
Waldo's business? But as it is as false
as many other assertions emanating
from the same source, it is nobody's
business.

Strange Disease in Hogs.

Colonel J. W. Newland, large stock
grower in St. Louis county, informs us
that singularly fatal disease has made
its appearance among his hogs and those
of his neighbors The first symptoms
observed are that the hogs become very
weak in their hind legs; their ears or
eyes get sore, and the head droops. Upon
dissecting them Immediately after death,
the lungs are found to be covered with
dark spots, and the bladder is very much
distended. The hogs are affected with
a cough and their feet and legs are cold.
Some of the hogs have diarrhoea, others
do not. The urine is OF dark color,
which many farmers would call bloody.
Colonel Newland does not believe that
this disease is the hog cholera, from the
fact that the skin and flesh, along the
belly of hogs that die of the cholera, n
invariably of dark purple color, where
as in this disease it is not the case. Ont
of 124 head forty have died, and thirty
five are sick.
Colonel Newland is depending main-
ly on pulverized charcoal as remedy,
and feeds it in pumpkins, which have
heen cut in halves. We shall wait
further information with much interest.

Southern Medical Practice.

During the war the surgeons of the
Southern army had many cases of sick
ness to cure and very few drugs to give.
There was scarcely q mandatory of
chemicals within the Confederacy, and
the blockade made the foreign supply
scanty and dear. The doctors were
therefore obliged to experiment on a
large scale. They tried every sort OF
vegetable product They changed, and
in some instances reversed, the old
methods Of treatment, because they were
found to conflict with the new remedies.
Lives were necessarily sacrificed in this
enforced search for knowledge, but a
number of valuable discoveries were
made. 1t ia said, indeed, that medical
practice at the South has been perma-
nently changed by the lessons of the war.
In order to collate and permanently re-
cord the results of this unique expert
ence, the doctors have formed South
ern Surgeons Association, which Is now
holding its first annual session at Rich
mond. The late Surgeon General of the
Confederacy presides. His address and
the papers read are to be published
They will doubtless form a curiOns
chapter in the history ofmedical science

The Hog Market.
Ist. Louis Journal and Farmer.l ]


For year we have been trying to i'm
press upon the farmers minds the i'm
portance of taking care Of the pigs, and
enforcing as much as possible the growth
of hogs on hand, feeling certain that
they would command a high price.
Many of our farmers are afraid that
while they may get good price this fall.
they will get very little next, and thus
incur a loss. OF this we have but little
fear. The high prices this fall and
large demands will cause them TO be
butchered off closely, and leave the num-
Der none too large for next year.
There is a great amount of damaged
wheat this year, which may he fed to
advantage. The phosphorus contained
m the wheat is calculated to make bone
and muscle, and thus very large growth
may be made-the process of laying on
fat begins later in the season, by feeding
corn. The wheat also contains enough
fatty matter TO give that process good
start, which should begin on those in
tended for market, as soon as the corn
is matured. Fat is laid on more rapidly
and more economically in moderate
weather than in cold. By keeping up
the summer pigs they may be made
good paying size for the June market.

Not Voting For You, Sir, But For
My Party.

The Petersburg "News" relates the
following incident in the life of John
Randolph:
John Randolph of Roanoke was an
eccentric man with verv bitter prejudi-
ices, and he seldom spoke with any
courtesy to those whom he disliked. 1t
is related of him that on one occasion a
very bitter enemy of his, to whom he
had not spoken for years, was noninat-
ed for some Office, and though Of the
same party with himself no one thought
for a moment that Randolph could be
induced to vote for him. The candidate
himself did not suppose SO. But the
day of election came, and in these good
old times people voted viva voce instead
of the ballot. When Randolph's name
was called he cast his vote distinctly for
the candidate. This astonished every
body, and the candidate himself was so
agreeably surprised that he stepped
down from the stand, and approaching
the orator, offered him his hand and
thanked him for his vote. "I never
voted for you, Sir" replied the irascible
Randolph. "Why, said the abashed
candidate" 81 certainly heard you pro-
nounce my name at the ballot-box." )"
"Oh, yes" said Randolph, IL used yonr
name, Sir-I used your name; but did
not vote for you. voted for my party. :"
