The Latest Georgia Snake Story.

Mr.. Ellis 3. McGreen, an old and
well-known citizen of Barlow county,
was in town, and relaled to us the fol-
lowing singular story: Mr.. McGreen
and his son-in-law, James Barmer,
were on a tract of land belonging to
Mr.. McGreen known as the slough
lookingfor a SOW and litter ofyoung
pigs that had not been seen for several
days. While walking over the ground,
which was of q damp, boggy nature,
Barmer suddenly sank to his waist
Mr.. McGreen was carrying an ak with
which he cut a good sized sapling, and
passing one end of it to Barmer he
succeeded in pulling him out OF the hole
As Barmer' sfeet emerged from the mud
there was found hanging to the lower
hem of one Of his pantaloon legs a.
large sized rattlesDake, his shakeship
had his fangs firmly hooked III the
heavy jeans and was cut in pieces be-
fore he could let 90 his hold Another
snake reared his head from the aper-
ture and was killed. The two men
then investigated the den; and found
and. killed thirty seven snakes. And
strangers still, some twenty feet from
the snake nest, and in the same hol-
low, were found the SOW and all the
pigs but two. They had fallen through
the thin crust OF ground covering the
aperture, and were unable to get out
without assistance. Rome Courier.

Legal Verboslty.

Reil 8 ohense is treason in aging war
against the government. 1t may be
specified in less than twenty words.
Here it is as partly set forth in one
count Of the Indictment just drawn up
against him:
Louis Reil, being a subject of our
lady queen, not regarding the duty of
his allegiance, nor having the fear of
God in his heart, but being moved and
seduced by the instigation of the devil
as false traitor against the said lady
queen, and wholly withdra wing the al
leglance, fidelity and obedience which
every true and faithful subject of our
said lady queen ought to bear toward
our said lady queen, the Goth day of
March, in the year aforesaid, together
with divers others false traitors to the
said Stewart unknown, armed aud ar
rayed in warlike manner-that is to
say, with guns, pistols, bayonets, and
other weapous-being then unlawfully,
maliciously, and traitoriously as
sembled and gathered together against
our said lady queen, most wickedly.
ma}iciously, tr$.itorously did levy and
make war against the said lady queen
at u locality known as Duck Lane, in
the said northwest territories Of Cana
da, and within this realm; and did
then maliciously and tra!torously at
tempt and endeavor by force and arms
to subvert and destroy the constitution
and government Of this realm, as by
law established, and deprive and de-
pose the said lady queen from the
style, honor, and kindly name of the
imperial crown Of this realm, in con-
tempt of the said lady queen and her
laws, to the evil example of all others
in the like case offending, contrary to
the duty and of the allegiance of him,
the said Louis Riel, against the form
OF the statute in such case made and
provided, and against the peace of tho
said lady queen, her crown, and dig
nifty.
As specimen of the time honored
legal verbosity this is hard to beat.
And yet some of our own criminal
forms, borrow ed from the same source,
are not far behind it.-NesU York Her.

Bows Composition.

Johnny Fizzletop, says Texas S,f-
sngs, created a sensation in al Austin
school by reading the following COM
position:
The disobedience of parents IS
often the source of a great deal of
uneasiness to their offspring. Men
who commit the darkest crimes gener-
ally begin by being disobedient to their
children.
'.Disobedient parents are often the
result of indulgent children, who in
tend it for the good of their progeni-
tors, but are aware, too late, that it is
not benefcent. OF course, parents
have their privileges, and do not relish
having them interfered with, but 1t is
the duty of every conscientious child
to see that they do not assume too
much authority. Parents are natural
ly presuming, unless they are checked
up once in while. How often do we
see home where there is no peace,
no harmony, and no love? The indul-
gent kid allows not only his parents,
but his grandparents, and relatives
who may be in the house, to have their
own way, and follow the dictates Of
their own foolish desires. The child
who fails to keep tight rein on the
reckless parent, is, sooner Or later,
sure to have his gray hairs, if he lives
long enough, brought down in sorrow
to the cemetery. Parents who obey
their children are the first to obey
their heavenly father. What wise

the way he should 80, and when he il
old he will depart from 1t. Obedient
and good parents make useful men

A Man Who VIII Probably Figure
in Central Asia

Mcshcd Letter in the London Daily News.
The principal performer in these Rus
sian advances, more particularly on
the Murghab, is Colonel Alikhanotf,
now governor of Merv. He is 81 man
OF some reputation, at least he is well
known in the Caucasus, and in the
Transcaspian district. He is likely to
be heard Of in connection with future
events in Central Asia. The name he
bears is Mohanmedan,b but RuSsianizcd
it is Ali Kahn. General report sayshe
belongs to Daghtstan, which Was
Schamyl's country IN Circassi'o. and
that his parents were Mohammedans.
At Tihis he received his ednca-
ton, where he entered the army
Some time ago, from being In
volved i'll a. quarrel, which either
ended in g. duel or would have
led to an event of that sort, he was re-
duced in rank. After the taking of
Cock Teppe he, with one or two Off
GERS in disguise as traders, visited
Merry, and shortly after he had COM
mand OF the troops which occupied
that place, for it WAS taken without
fighting This service brought Alik-
hanoff back into favor and his former
rank was restored. He was made
Governor to Merv, and it is from that
point that he has been so activelately
among the Turcomans on the Murg
hab. He has shown himself to be
bold, daring and interchangeable. Alik
hanoif is the fitting man to keep a fer
ment, and has already proved
his capacity in this line Of action
When Sir Peter Lumsden visited
Sarakhs in November Alikhanoff
crossed from the Russian side, and
rode through the skirts OF the camp
OF the English commission. This was
done in q very defiant style. A man
carried a white standard before him,
such as is borne before chiefs and per-
sons Of rank and position, and an es-
cort OF Merv yekkes followed. In do
ing this he had passed from Russian
to Persian soil, but he knew that no
one could or would object, and that
the piece Of bravado could be done
with impunity. It has to be recorded
that he did not return to the Russian
camp quite in so grand and dignitied
q style as he came, for his horse Stun
bled, throwing the rider, whose lower
garment got torn, and IN such a man
ner that his appearance was not pre-
sentable, and in this condition, he had
to beat q hurried retreat.

Snow and Rain.

As the excursion party were return
ing few days ago, through Idaho and
Wyoming it was noticed shat there
was more snow on themountains; and
that it came lower down on the sides,
to the plains, than when the party
was going west. Since our return
home, we learn from the Idaho, Mon
tana and Wyoming papers that they
had general rains and snow storms
throughout a large part Of those Ter
ritories about the middle Of June, which
proved serious on lambs, newly shorn
Sheep, calves and colts. But they
claim that this injury is more than
overbalanced by the improved crops
OF grass for the herds of hose regions.
But it sounds little cool to read about
snow storms in mid-June. 1t showed
in Maine June 10th. in Michigan June
Esd, and in Colorado June 28th.

AutOcrat Hamilton.

The island of Arran is the property
of the duke of Hamilton, whose para
mont object as ''lord of the soil' is to
convert as much of the island as posi-
bic into q game preserve for the en-
joyment OF himself and his friends
during the month which hs passes at
Brodick castle every autumn, SO that
instead OF it's resources being devel-
oped and the population being en-
couraged in their avocations, every.
thing is done to keep strangers away,
and the aboriginal inhabitants are
mere serfs. Arran (Which is twenty
miles by ten) forms a great contrast
to the neighboring island Of Butte, be-
ing fifty years behind in everything,
and it seems monstrous that in these
days so large a domain should be sub.
jected to tue selfish caprices Of one
man. The dukes latest proceeding,
as an absolute.monarch of the island,
has been to refuse permission to the
United p resbyterians to erect a church,
and it is. actually stated in the letter
of tho agents that the duke s'Wlflnot
sanction the use of a building for such
a purpose for a longer period than the
three summer months One would
really think that they were back III
those palmy days of torryisnn, which
Scotland groaned under the iron yoke
and the unexampled .jobbery of Henry
Dundas. The duke Of Hamiiton's pos
litical leaders will scarcely thank him
for this exhibition of intolerance,
which is. certainly. unreasonable
and hardly 4 satisfactory return
for the thistle which Lord Bea-
consdeld bestowed upon him. Lon
