berland Mountains.

Special to the Star.
MoMINNvILLE, Tenn, Sept. 13.-Deputy
Collector Mather has just broken up the
nest of Nat Welch, known as the "Old
Swamp Fox" and the slyest mocnshiner
who piled his occupation in the Cumber-
land Mountains. He is too smart to be
caught by revenue officers, and this time,
though every precaution was taken, he
slipped through their grasp like weasel.
His distillery was located under a project
ing sand-cliff, and surrounded by dense
growth of large and small spruce and pine
and in the midst of an ivy Jungle. Among
the Deputy's list of the property destroyed
is the seventy-gallon still, twelve hundred
gallons of beer malt casks. ETC., together
with one Gospel Hymn Book.

Lake George Rattlesnakes.

- T-TTS s3T8ff 38.ftsrs
One denizen of this REGION cannot be
spoken Of without degree of respect
combined with aversion. 1t is the rattle
snake. He flies the haunts of men, and
is gradually disappearing from that vicin-
age; but, like inferior races Of man, which,
before they altogether vanish before an
advancing civilization, cling desperately
to few strongholds, so this reptile yet
retains certain positions around the lake,
which are infested in way that demands
caution on the part of the tourist. 1t is
not uncommon TO see these snakes SWIM
ming in the lake, passing from cove to
cove or isle to isle. Leaning over boat one
calm day, i saw one. swimming under the
stern. He raised his head when he saw
me, and the expression OF his face was
neither amiable nor assuring as he darted
his head spitefully forward. l hit him
with a stick, when he dived and disap-
peared. Tongue Mountain and Shelving
Rock are most infested at present. An
old man and woman, who occupy soli-
tary cabin on the former having long made
a business Of catching rattlesnakes and
supplying the market. The demand is
much larger than one would suppose on
the part OF showmen and naturalists, and
also from the rustics Of the neighborhood,
who have the notion that ratllesnake oil
iSan infallible remedy for the rheumatism.
Doubtless this superstilion-for ii is moth.
ing else-arese in The same way as the
belief in former days in nevis eye, a
baby's finger, silver from the Gng nail
OF mummy, or the baboon's blood
objects remote or difficult to obtain. The
quotation for good, healthy raltesnakes at
Lake George averages one dollar apiece,
caught and delivered. Those who do
not mind the Iifling annoyance of being
bitten by one are allowed the free range
of the rattlesnake preserves, and may
catch them for nothing.-S. G. w. Ben

Coffee Planting In Southern India.

Notwithstanding the serious decrease
in the average yield Of coffee per acre in
the last two or three seasons, the area
under mature plants in the Madras Presi-
dency has increased in one year, 1867,
from 45,a52 acres to 49,35o acres. The
enhanced value which coffee fetches in
the London market has doubtless given
this industry great stimulus. And the
Indian planter, profting by the almost
total cessation Of coffee cultivation in ia
maica, and the great decline in produc-
tion in Brazil and Java, NAV, despite tenn
porary severe checks look forward with
confidence to the future A largely in
creased value has also accrued TO the fee
simple price Of coffee estates in both In
dia and Ceylon. We heard just the other
day OF a Ceylon planter buying his part
ner's share in the estate at the enormous
