The Hoop Snake.

@. Leventhorpe, Of North Carolina,
writes to the New York SIN on the sub
ject of the hoop or sachem snake, which
is often seen in Virginia and the South
The snake is of venomous fame, and,
though it may be an extreme precau-
tion, I should not care to risk even
now scratch from the point Of the
spur. In the early summer serpent
of this species was killed within three
hundred yards Of my house. l saw this
snake when dead. Its color was dingy
yellow, marked and blotched with
black. The head was fiat and vicious
looking. There was q remarkable mus
cular swell, like that of the biceps, some
inches above the tail, and suggestive
of an intention to give force
to blow from the tail, which tapered
below the swell, and terminated in q
horn like that which / send, The horn
was grooved in the same manner, and
curved similarly. This specimen meas
ured four feet ten inches. The young
man who killed the snake stated that
the viper coiled up at his presence, ap-
pearing greatly irritated, holding its
tail aloft, and agitating it violently. He
did not await further hostilities, but
settled the matter bya well.directed
shot from his rife. There are many
stories of trees that have died after hav-
ing been struck by this snake. ] should
not wish to be responsible for them,
for there is a wonderful sameness in one
and all. But, beyonda doubt, Me hoop
snake is an ugly and wicked reptile, and
is considered here as fatally dangerous,

Not Always a Remedy.

There was group of gentlemen sit
ting in a drug store last Sunday morn
ing discussing smallpox, Gilhooly was
there, too. The doctor had Just re-
marked what a blessing science was,
and how the lives ofso many thousands
and tens of thousands of human beings
had been saved by vaccination alone /;
that vaccination never failed to save a
mans life.
"That may all be So" remarked Gil
hooly, "but in the case Of my uncle, his
life was saved by his not being vaccin-
ated. He lived in California, and the
smallpox was very bad, and all that
saved his life was his refusal to get vac
cinated. If he had got vaccinated it
would have cost him his life"
"That must have been very singular
case. wish you would give me the
precise date" said the doctor, taking
out his notebook
"Not at all. He was in Jail, and the
vigilants broke in and took him out of
Jail, and were about to hang him to a
tree, when they discovered he was all
broken out with the smallpox. They
scattered like covey of partridges.
The further proceedings were suspended
instead of my uncle, and his life was
saved. Now, you will acknowledge,
doctor, that if he had been vaccinated
he could not possibly have taken the
smallpox, and if he had not had the
smallpox at the time he would certainly
have lost his life; 50 in this case, at
least, you will admit that vaccination
would have cost him his life."
The doctor wanted to discuss the
question, but was defeated on a strict
party vote.-TenaS Sittings.

The Wedding Finger.

There are few objects among the pro-
ductions of art contemplated with such
lively interest by ladies, after a certain
age, as the wedding-ring; this has been
the theme for poets of every caliber-
for geniuses of every wing, from the
dabbling duckling to the soaring eagle.
The mouldy antiquary can tell the
origin of the custom with which it is
connected, and perchance why the ring
was round, and account for many cir
cumstances concerning the ceremonies
of the circlet, on the most conclusive
evidence, amounting to absolute conjec-
tural demonstrations. Amidst all that
has been said and written in reference
to the ring, / believe the part engaged
in that mystic matter, the taper resi-
dence of this ornament has been neg
lected. Now this is rather curious, and
there are facts which belong to the
ring finger which render it in peculiar
manner an appropriate emblem of
matrimonial union. 1t is the only fin
ger where two principal nerves belong
to two distinct trunks; the thumb is
supplied with its principal nerves from
the radial nerve, as is also the forefn-
ger, the middle finger, and the thumb
side of the ring finger, while the ulnar
nerve furnishes the little finger and the
other side of the ring finger at the point
or extremity of which real union takes
place. 1t seems as if it were intended
by nature to be the matrimonial finger.
That the side of the ring finger next to
the little finger is supplied by the ulnar
nerve is frequently proved by q common
accident, that of striking the elbow
against the edge of chair, door, or
any narrow hard substance; the ulnar
nerve is then frequently struck, and
thrilling sensation is then felt in the
little finger, and on the. same side of
the ring finger, but not on the other
side of it.

An Attempt TO Assassinate washtngton


An attempt made to assassinate Gen
eral Washington in New York city in
177G is imperfectly described as follows
by James Thatcher, a Massachusetts
surgeon in the Continental army, in "a
Military Journal During the American
Revolutionary War;" under date of Sep
tember 10, 1776:
II have omitted to record the follow
in incidents till / could assertion the
particulars of the reports We learn
by accounts from New York that some
time since plot of most atrocious
nature was detected in thHt city. A
gang Of Tories had associated for the
purpose of joining the British army,
and had concerted plan, it is said, to
assassinate his Excellency General
Washington and some other officers,
and while our army were engaged with
the enemy to blow up our magazines,
etc, The mayor Of the city and an ar
morer who was engaged in making rifles
for the Tories and several others were
taken into custody and committed to
close prison. The mayor, on examina-
tion, confessed that he received money
from Governor Tryon to pay the ar.
morer for the rifles. Two of his excel
lency's guards were confederates, and
third, to whom the secret was confded,
honestly disclosed the information.
Several of these miscreants were tried
and convicted, and two or three were
executed"
A foot-note oil this account quotes as
follows from one of David Ramsay's his
tories Governor Tryon had suborned
the then mayor of New York to assist
the royal forces on their arrival in that
city, and General Washington was to be
assassinated. This detestable design
was rendered abortive by apprehending
Thomas Hickey, one Of General Wash
ington's life-guard men, who was en-
gagged in the conspiracy and had en-
gagged Others. This false miscreant was
tried by court martial on the 2Sth of
June, found guilty and vas executed
the same day, amid the curses Of the
American army"

Billions OF Matches.

Assuming that each several act of igni-

it will be- obvious to every ready reck-
oner that five hundred and fifty-five
thousand hours of each successive day
are spent by the inhabitants of Europe
in striking matches. There is food for
much speculation in the fact that
Europeans dispose Of nearly sixty-four
years per day in scraping tiny sticks,
tipped with some inAammable compost

RELIGIOUS READING.
"RemInd Me OF the King"

La Fontaine, chaplain of the Prussian
army, once preached a very earnest and
eloquent sermon on the sin and folly of
yielding to hasty temper. The next
day he was accosted by major of the
regiment with the words:
"Well, sir think you made use Of
the prerogatives of your Office, to give
me some very sharp hits, yesterday"
81 certainly thought of you while
was preparing the Sermon" was the
answer, "but 1 had no intention of be-
ing either personal or sharp"
"Well. it is of no use," said the
major, 81 have hasty temper, and I
cannot help it, and cannot control it.
1t is impossible"
And still adhering to this opinion,
after some further conversation went his
way.
The next Sabbath La Fontaine
preached upon selt-deceptlon, and the
vain excuses which men are wont to
make.
"Why," said he, "a man will declare
that it is impossible for him to control
his temper, when he very well knows
that were the provocation to happen in
the presence of his sovereign, he not
only could but would control himself
entirely. And yet he dares to say that
the continual presence of the King of
kings and Lord of lords, imposes upon
him neither restraint or fear!"
The next day his friend, the major
again accosted him.
"You were right, yesterday, chap
lain," he said, humbly. Hereafter,
whenever you see me in danger of fall
ing remind me of the Kingp

Artesian Wells In Georgia.

There is belt of country in Georgia
covering about one-fourth of the state
in which the water available for drink
ing purposes is so unpalatable and un.
healthy as to effect unfavorably the rate
of mortality. 1t is what is known as the
"rotten limestone region" and has q
bad reputation. For example, on a
certain farm Of 1900 acres twenty-three
out Of 1l5 persons died within one year.
Pure water being the great desideratum,
Mr., 7. P. Fort, of Macon, went to work
and sank an artesian we'll. At the depth
of $50 feet he came upon water pure,
sweet, and clear as crystal. II flows
from his well at the rate of from six to
eight gallons per minute, and rises in a
iot some ten feet high above the surface
of the ground. II is thought that this
discovery will double the value of the
rich, deep soil everything all this rotten
limestone country.
