Playing With Live Rattles makes.
Tallahassee PatriOt.1

Charles Williams, formerly belonging
to DR.. J. Fl. Randolph, of this city, now
turns an honest penny exhibiting his
wonderful powers over the reptile crea-
tion. A huge rattlesnake, measuring
more than foot in circumference, and
about the length of a man, and several
smaller ones, carried in an old goods
box, mounted on dilapidated Jersey
wagon, drawn by an old horse that looks
like naturalization of the spirit of
"Old Credit played cut" complete his
travelling outfit. Thus armed, be drives
into the city, stopping on the principal
street, invests in a bottle of "forked
lightning" which he gulps down
like water, then calling up
a crowd, and taking up a collection
ranging from rs cents to a dollar, he
opens the performance by taking out the
huge rattler and "toying" with him
about as a little girl would her dolly,
not, however, without frantic efforts on
the part Of his snakeship to resent the
insult offered to his dignity. Sometimes
the reptile succeeds in burying his fangs
in the flesh of his master; but it is hard
to tell which gets the worst of the bar
gain--the snake from the effects Of the
"lightning" whisky that oozes out Of
the punctures, or the "tamer," from tht
effects of the reptiles poison. The per
formance concludes by the "tamer" put
ting several smaller members of the rat
tie snake family in his bosom.

liver struck him clip with his ak, TAX
ing off three of his toe nails. This sur
gical operation so enraged the bear that
he made an angry plunge at Oliver and
nearly succeeded in getting him with his
ak into the den. The young man had
by this time concluded that it was either
himself or the bear, so he dofed his coat
and mittens, and bracing himself struck
the old fellow a terrible blow on the
head. .-
This seemed only to enrage him the
more, and as his eyes flashed fire his ears
stood erect and his breast protruded and
he made another dash at his intended
victim. But young Oliver was prepared
for him, and dealt him such blow as
split open his head from the base Of the
brain to point even with his nose. This
finished the bear, who snorted few times
and rolled dead at the feet of Oliver.
He was black bear, apparently what is
known as an "old ranger" measured nine
feet from the tip Of his nose to the hind
paws, and weighed over 450 pounds
After he had killed the monster, young
Oliver became frightened, and standing
there gazing upon his carcass he says he
could feel his own hair rise upon end.

Hiding Seven Year> i'm n Sycamore

Midway (Ky.) Clipper. !

Midway \kyJ CHpperJ
Since giving an account last week OF
the large sycamore tree on Mr.. F. B.
Harper's place, we have learned that its
history is even more interesting than we
supposed. The man who made it his
place of refuge was named Charles
Colston, and was an uncle, and not
grandfather, of Harry Colston. He was
the grandfather of Abe Perry, the
trainer, and also Of Luke Blackburn, the
Versailles barber, and was at that time,
nearly sixty years ago, the carriage
driver of Lord Robert Alexander, Sr.
Taking offense at something, he informed
the house girl that he intended to drive
the carriage over a precipice and kill his
master.
She reported what had been communi-
Gated to her, and Charles was sold to a
Southern trader, as stated. He was
shipped South, where he picked cotton
half day, and knocked his overseer in
the head with hoe. Escaping immedi.
ately, he made his way to Kentucky and
took refuge in the tree referred to, where
he lived seven years before his hiding
place became known. He was taken tl
the Versailles Jail after being captured
where he was confined for some time
He was afterward bought by Mr.. Miles
who then owned the Harper place, ant
at a later date was sent South again
since which nothing has been heard o.
him, ....

The Princely Noses net TattOoed.
London Morning Posll

The stories lately current about their
Royal Highnesses, the sons of the Prince
Of Wales, now on a cruise in the Bac-
chante, are untrue. 1t is not the fact,
as has been foolishly asserted, that the
Young princes have been tattooed on the
nose with an anchor. The tale, when
bought home, was received with well-de-
served incredulity, and it was felt that
theirown common sense, not less than the
care of those about them, would be the
best guarantee against any such absurd
ity as that which has obtained an un-
merited currency. The truth is that as
when, for instance, on crossing the line
certain traditional ceremonies are ob-
served, so on first touching at a great
port other harmless freaks are often in
dulged in, and the identical experience
of the princes has been undergone by
H. R. H the Duke of Edinburgh, Count
Gleichen, and nearly every other sailor

Accordingly, at Gibraltar the midship.
men Of the Bacchante indulged in the
amusement of placing on their faces tht
representation of tattoo marks, and theil
temporary freak has been reported as il
they had been really tattooed. The Bac
chante proceeded across the Atlantic t.
the West Indies, and at Barbadoes Mr.
and Mrs. Childers had the honor Of din
ing at the Governors table with thei
Royal Highnesses on the 3oth of Decem
! ber. On that day there was not tn
faintest trace of the Gibraltar freak upol
the countenances Of the Princes. Tn
matter was never mentioned or referred
to by those about them, and the astonish
ment Of Mr.. Childers on arriving fey
days ago in England was extreme q
hearing that it was supposed that thei
Royal Highnesses bore upon their face
indelible marks. We are now happy t
be able to dismiss this idle talk into tn
limbo of unworthy gossip. r.r, s.,..

A LUNATIC LETTER.wRITER.
Curious Freak Of an Italian-He
Sends Sax Hundred Letters IN One

Curious Freak Of an Isalian-He
Sends SIX Hundred Letters IN One
Mail.
New York TimeAl
Some Italian lunatic residing in Turin
has for months past been indulging in
the monomania Of writing and sending
enormous quantities Of letters TO persons
residing in this city, and his voluntary
mail contributions have at last become
such a nuisance that official measures
are likely to be set on foot to stop his
game. He began by sending from 90 to
100 letters each mail, some four OF five
months ago, and up to this time between
1900 and 5000 of his epistles have ar
rived here, large proportion of which
have been delivered to the persons to
whom they were addressed.
One of the chief objections that the
recipients have to receiving his cores
pondence is that none of his letters are
prepaid, and 10 cents for unpaid postage
is collected by the mail-carriers on each
letter. The recipients, regarding the
matter as an oversight on the part Of
some foreign or travelling friend, pay the
postage and open the letters only to find
them filled with balderdash and senseless
twaddle in Italian, with faulty English
translation appended, the nonsense being
usually addressed ITO the noble andillus-
trious reader" and the writer subscribing
himself as "The Emperor Of the World,
Monarch Of the Universe" &c. Many
complaints were made to Postmaster
James on the subject, and he eommuni-
Gated with the Postmaster General con-
cerning it, asking whether he would di-
rect that all future letters from fThe
Emperor" &c., be withheld from deliv-
cry, and whether the postage paid by the
recipients could be refunded, d many OF
them asked for it.
The Postmaster General decided that
the letters did not come under any Of
the rules by which the department could
withhold them, and that the postage
certainly could not be refunded, but he
forwarded a suggestion that letter-car-
riers, at the time Of offering the letters
for delivery, be instructed to warn the
public that they are humbug, and ad-
wise the people to refuse to receive them.
This course will be followed hereafter.
The last mail steamer brought out nearly
600 Of these letters, most of which were
delivered. Some of them are addressed
ITO cheap grocers," to "the best wine
merchants" &C., but many of them are
addressed to real names and persons who
live or have lived at the street numbers
given. 1t is presumed that the writel
has possession Of or access to an old New
York City Directory, and takes thu
names from it. The letters are writer
in scratchy handwriting, on fine, thir
letter-paper, and inclosed in large en-
velopes of similar paper, about five
inches square. On the sealing-Aap there
is printed in black ink sunburst sur
rounding circle, and within the circle
crown with figure standing erect upol
it. A communication will be sent to tn
Italian Government, asking that tn
lunatic's mail be suppressed or withheld
at Turin, where it originates.
