where Did They Come From?


From the SnyNpef Fre6 Trader.
We were handed couple OF egg shells
few days since by Mr.. w. II. Johnson,
who Is inspector Of lumber at Sloan, Price
g. Co.'s mill, at Poulan, from which two
snakes were supposed 10 have been
Matched, with the following explanation,
which is youcned for by all the employees
at work on the mill deck, as well as the
proprietOrs themselves:
A stock LOG. about As feet In length, was
brought 10 the mill and cut into two seq
lions of a feet each, aud when the top end
of the second cut passed the saw lnspec-
tor Johnson discovered a small hollow,
from which two snakes, known as the
thunder or calico species, made their APP
pearance, which when killed measured
about ~ feet IN length. Mr. johnson and
others examined the hollow for the pur.
pose OF discovering how these snakes got
In there, but found that the outside Of the
log was perfectly intact, giving no way In
or out 20 the cavity, and il was while
making this examination that the shells
were found.
Now the question is, how did the snakes
get In the hollow, and how long were they
confined IN ~ The tree, when standing
in the woods, would have placed the
snakes at least 4S feet from the ground,
and, had there been a way in and out 10
the cavity. the tree was entirely TOO large
for snake Of that length TO have climbed
that distance.

pay. The Marshal then returned to Mr..
Davis with instructions TO appear be-
lore the Mayor to show cause why
SAID tax should not be paid. This
notice also Davis dlsregarded. He
was then required to appear before the
Mayor and answer to the charge of con-
tempt of court. This, too, was disre-
garded, and he was forced by the Mar
shal into the Council room, where he was
hned for contempt of court He refused
10 pay the fde, and was put in the oala-
ooose by the Marshal. Here he remained
TWO or three hours, and sending for the
Marshal, he paid his fine and was re-
leasen. He claimed to have been un-
justly imprisoned, and threatened 20 sue
the city for damages. He has recently
sued the city in the United States Court
FOR 100000. and on Monday United
States Marshal Locke put in an appear
sance, and served a notice on the Mayor,
Mayor pro tenn. and Marshal, requiring
their attendance upon the October session
Of the United States Court at Macon.
Isham Kelly and his boys lived near
Neborn, Newton EcOunty, near the line of
Jasper. Several years ago an assassina-
ton of respectable citizen by the name
of Hardman occurred in that Vicinity.
The Kelly family were considered hard
standing with Hartman, who was a near
neighbor to the Kellys, previous to his
murder, which occurred at night, while
sitting in his door washing his feet. OF
course, the assassination created intense
excitement in that part of the country,
and suspicion at once centered upon
lsham Kelly and his two sons, Charles
and Edward. They were arrested, and
Charles Kelly was convicted of the kill
ing of Hartman by circumstantiaI evil
dence, and sentenced to the penltentiary
for life. Isham Kelly was also indicted
as pdrtlcepS criDeinlS, but his trial was
postponed from time to time, and he was
finally turned loose upon his own recOg-
nizance, and remains so to this day. Ed
ward Kelly was also released, but was
afterwards convicted for stealing a mule
In jackson county and sentenced a
number of years to the chain-gang. He
has served out his term of continent,
and comes to the front in card publish
ed in the COvingtOn Star, in which he
says he expects to live an honest life in
future, and asks forgiveness of his
enemies for past offenses. He says that
his family has been accused of many Of
lenses of which they are not guilty, and
that his brother Charles is serving lite.
time sentence in Dade coal mine for a
crime of which he is innocent.

Crops in Lee county continue in fine
condition.
A few farmers in Columbia county are
chopping cotton.
AT Quitman lie Conte pears will soon be
ready for market.
Seven cars of melons were loaded in
Quttman on Tuesday.
Many negroes in Jones county have
creditable crops of cotton and corn.
The cat crop IN Jones county is Weld

Morris Mayer, of Albany, has packed
several bales OF wool within the past few
days.
Crops are growing very rapidly in
Brooks county and give promise of fine
yield.
The corn and potato prospects of Ware
and Clinch counties are said to have never
been better.
An old gentleman living near Harlem
expects to make this year $50 bushels of
corn and bales of cotton with mule %
years of age.
In Union county corn is selling at 81 %
per bushel, and is very scarce at that.
The present corn crop is the most promis-
ing one had in many years. the wheat
crop is an entire failure.
Wool growers around Hawkinsville are
rapidly dispOsing of their clip. About
1000 pounds were sold there recently at
20 cents per pound cash. Another con-
signmeut of 5000 pounds was received
Wednesday.

Melon growers of Brooks county are
busy and hard at work gathering and

class, very buoyant, anticipating fair and
remunerative prices. The acreage is less
than last year, and the crop of melons
will be cOrrespondingly reduced. There
have been some very tne melons shipped,

The crop prospect is still very promis-
ing in MuscOgee county. The oat and
wheat crop have been garnered and has
turned out remarkably well. In some
portions Of Marion, Taylor and Schley

A gentleman from Spring Garden had a
box of silk-worm eggs sent him from New
Orleans to DeLand by express. On open
ing the box it was discovered they had
Matched out thousands of young worms in
the box. He at once transferred them to
a larger box and gave them young null
berry leaves.
Deland Echo: Last winter we gave an
account in this paper of the success made
by Miss Kittie Norris at Spring Garden
in silk culture. The paper containing it
fell into the hands Of an Italian gentleman
who had travelled in China, Japan, Cen
trail Asia and all the silk regions for the
purpose Of studying the industry in
month ago, and has been residing at
Spring Garden, watching Miss Norris
operations, and last Friday he again
called on US, very much gratlfed with
her success. He informs us that Miss
Norris will raise two crops Of cOcOons
this year from last years eggs, thing
that cannot be accomplished in any part
OF Europe, and that the worms do not APP
pear to decline in vigor. He considers
that the most paying part of the business
Is the raising OF oocoons TO supply the
European market with fresh eggs,
which are now brought from Japan and
China, as disease Injuries the
European-bred worms. We learned from
him that the young worms should be fed
four times day9and when large six
times day and twice at night, so as to
make larRe cocoons and strong silk. He
will remain at Spring Garden, continuing
further experiments, and intends 70 bring
over an Italian colony TO enter upon this

How a Good appointment Was Lost by
Abusing Speaker Carlisle.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHISeToy, June 16.-The supervising in
speetcr Of steam vessels at Cincinnati, John
Fehrenbatch. was to-day superseded by the APP
pointment of Americus Warden. Mr.. Fehren-
batch is we'll known in Ohio as an offensive
partisan. In every campaign since he was APP
pointed to Office he has labored with more zeal
than discretion TO elect the Republican ticket.
He is probably the only official in the steamboat
inspector service who has ever asked for leave of
absence in order to do political work. This re-
quest was made, several years ago, through a
Republican member from Cincinnati, and the
desired leave was promptly and positively re-
fused by Supervising Inspector general Dumont.
1t was only a question of time when Fehrenbatch
would have to 20, so that the change is chiefly
interesting on account of a little story about the
contest over the Office. Some time ago James
Burke. a well known Democrat in Coyington,
Speaker Carlisle's home, began to collect recon-
mendations with a view to getting this place.
He got a great many weighty letters. including
one from Mr.. Carlisle and one from Mr.. Ran
dali. When Speaker Carlisle came on here, sew
eral weeks ago, Burke asked him to con-
vey to the Secretary of the Treasury some
additional letters, including one from Represent
alive Holman, of Indiana. Mr.. Carlisle consent
ed, and presented the letters intrusted to him
20 the Secretary of the Treasury. He
thought he had presented all of
them, but after he got home,
Burke, who had received his information
from a friend in the Treasury Department, noti-
fed him that be was informed that he (Carlisle)
had not presented Mr.. Holman's letter, and
asked him what he had done with it. Thereupon
Mr.. Carlisle looked among his papers, found the
missing Holman letter, and promptly forwarded
it to the Secretary of the Treasury. But this did
not satisfy Burke, who ~insinuated, in a very dis
agreeable way, that Mr.. Carlisle had purposely
withheld the Holman letter. in order to prevent
Burke's appointment. The unjust attack dis
pleased the Speaker. and he wrote a letter to the
Secretary of the Treasury, explaining all the cir
cumstances and withdrawing his recommends
ton of Burke. Burke's name was thereupon
dropped, and Warden. who is described as a very
respectable citizen of Cincinnati. was appointed.
