The New Departure.
Clarksville Advertiser.

Since the Rev. Attigus G. Hay
good has started his sickeninq and
disgusting negro-loving dogma he
bids fair to defeat the very object he
espouses-tbe education and eleva
tlon of the black race in the South.
From one end Of Georgia to the 9th
er his utterance have aroused the
press and the people, and public seu-
timent has certainly undergone a rev.
olutionizing change on this subject.
In fact, few of the taxpayers Of
Georgia had considered how much of
their hard earnings were annually
squandered on negro education; but
since DR.. Haygood has opened the is
sue it is all made plain. To say that
the people are outraged and indig-
nant butfaintly expresses their senti
ments. One thing is certain-not
another dollar will ever be given by
Georgia to public education so long
as such an unequal apportionmcnt of
the funds is made. The idea of one
class drawing from the treasury
nearly all that they pay in to the sup
portof the State government is
enough to astound the taxpayers.
While poor, but honest white men,
who feel theresponsibility ofmaking
support upon them, must keep
their children at home to work and
allow them to grow up in ignorance,
the negro children are trotted off
every morning to school and their
expenses paid by whites.

Cow Peas.

They have been experimenting
with tie cow pea at the New York
Agricultural Experiment station with
the hope that it may take the place
of clover as forage plant and ferd-
lizcr. If they can make ia success
it will in time be extensively cul,iya-
ted IN he Middle and some OF the
Western States, since this crop comes
to maturity in less than three months
from plantjng, while clover sown in
March does not mature until u wear
from the following summer-ff5een
months or more. The New Orleans
Pic0yune believes thefeld pea at the
South may be much more valuble
than clover ut the North. Southern
farmers are slow in securing the full
benefits which the pea crop might
bestow N on them. II is no exDer-
lment on a Southern farm. It's yir-

to make rich lands produce larger

Why there are No Snakes or Wa
ter-rais in ireland.

ter-rais in ireland.
In an iteresting article on the yole
or water-rat. by IT. Grant Allen, in
the English Country Gentleman, The
writer discusses the question why GER
tain animals, such as snakes, water
rats, etc. are not found in Ireland.
For the real solution OF the problem,
he says, we must go back to the time
when England, Ireland and the Con-
tinent were united by a broad belt of
land across the beds OF the English
Channel, St. Georges Channel and
the North Sea. 1t is now an ascer-
tanned fact that in the very latest ge-
illogical period, known as the glacial
epoch; the whole surface of the Brit
ish Islands Except an insignificant
strip of the south COAST was covered
from end to end with a deep coating
of glaciers, like that which now en-
velops all polar lands, and while this
condition Of things prevailed there
were, Of course, no animals of any
sort in all Britain, or, at any rate,
none but few Arctic types, After
the ice melted, however tbe existing
British fauna, such as it is, began to
occupy the land, and the fact that it
did so is one proof, though by no
means the only proof, that commu-
nication with the Continent then ex-
listed across the bed of the North Sea.
Now, the animals only pushed their
way slowly into the newly cleared re-
gion as the ice melted away, and the
consequence is that only some forty
kinds of animals ont Of the whole
European fauna had penetrated as
far as England before the gradual
submergence of the lowland belt sep
arated it from the Continent by form
ing the inclosing arms Of the sea.
But Ireland lies further west than
England, and there is reason to be
lieve that St. Georges Channel had all
been flooded some time before the
waves of the Atlantic broke down the
last link between Dover and Calais.
Accordingly, ireland has never got
her fair share of animals at all, for
though the wolf and the fox and the
Irish hare and many otherquickly mi
grating creatures had time to cross
the intervening belt before the sub
mergence, several smaller of slower
creatures, including the vipers, did
not get over the ground fast enough
and were thus shut out forever from
Isle Of Saints. Among them were
the whole race of yoles, and that is
the reason why Ireland to this day
has no water-rats.
The Dawson journal., 1883-09-27
A Young Snake Uharmer.

In a rather dark basement room
under a saloon in DeGive's opera
house block, Dow Poolo, half In-
dian boy eleven years old, has the
most blood cardling show of the
season. The room is devoid of fur
niture, but over one side is a small
box with a home made cover of glass.
The glass is held in place by little
tacks, and the box contains three
monster rattlesnakes, with great
scaly bodies and flat, deadly looking
heads. Dow sits behind this box
plays with twine string, or fumbles
with the buttons on his coat, or by
some other act shows that he is ner-
vous under the gaze of the spocta-
tors. The snakes were caught a
few days ago and Dow never saw
them until last Sunday. Every few
minutes Dow opens the box, reaches
his hapd in and lifts ont ratter.
The tongue Of the snake flashes
backward and forward like lightning
but he makes no attempt to bite the
boy as he is coiled like a necktie
about the boys neck. He lays per-
tectly quiet in the place where he is
put or tucks his his head costly
under the boys chin or down his
shirt collar. The snakes are then
taken out, one in each hand and
played with as though they were
kittens, They are then piled togeth-
er on the Hoor and by slapping them
on the heads they are made to sound
their rattles in a blood curdline man
ner. Ii they start to crawl off Dow
strikes them on their noses and
makes them be quiet. Dow is a
poor boy, an orphan from Dade
county, and is a natural snake char
mer. He will handle any snake ex-
cept cotton mouth. Yesterday was
the first time he ever publicly exhib-
tied his power over the snakes.
A wealthy young man who lives in
Dade county had The three rattle
snakes caught and sent for the bov
who announced that he was not
afraid of them. The gentleman then
kicked the box over and ran. Dow
quietly proceeded to gather up the
snakes and restore them to the
box. His exploits had been talked
of considerably around the neighbor-
hood and he was brought to the CITY
few days ago with the snakes.
Permission to exhibit him was gran
ted by Mayor Goodwin and accor-
dinghy the show opened up. Yes
terday afternoon one of the snakes
dropped on the floor, scampered
across in the direction Of of the au.
dience It's unnecessary to say there
was stampede, but Dow caught
the snake. The boy has no perma-
nent manager, but the gentleman
who has him in charge is determined
to see that he is not put into bad
hands. 1t may be that he will vet be
bitten, as a snake charmer suffered
such fate IN Georgia two year:
ago-Constitution.

He Carried The Last COnfeder-

lie CarFlSu 4he Last COnfeder-

Talk about my war record said
an Arkansas orator at d political
meeting. My war record is a part
of the States history. Why gentle
men, | carried the last Confederate
flag through this town Yes, replied
a bystander, |forI was here at the
time.
Thank you for your fortunate re-
collection gratefully exclaimed the
orator. TT is pleasant to know that
there still lives some men who move
aside envy and testify to the courage
of their fellow beings. AS l say,
gentlemen, my war record is a part
OF the States history, for the gentle
man here will tell you that carried
the last Confederate flag through
this town.
That's "a fact said the man who
had witnessed the performance. He
carried the last Confederate FLAG
through this town, and he carried it
so blamed fast you couldn't have
told whether it was a Union jack or
