staunton Minstrels.


From Lexington Gazette, April Is.
The National Brass Band and Virginia
Ministries of Staunton, composed of young
colored men together with host of friends
male and female, arrived here Thursday
in holiday attire for gala day. The band
composed of sixteen men uniformed, and
the Minstrel company consisting of fifteen
men in Prince AIberts and silk hats pa.
raded the principal streets, making good
music, far ABOVE the standard of amateur
bands. The music and spectacular display
attracted all classas of our citizens and it
was the unanimous opinion that the pa
rade was the best ever seen here, possibly
excepting Fl Henry. 1t was credit to
the colored people as well as their city.
At night they gave minstrel performance
to a crowded audience at the opera house
composed largely of the representative
colored people, and a large number of
white citizens, The program was we'll
selected and rendered with success. much
to the enjoyment of all. The vocal selec-
lions were of the best, sung with taste in
rich voices of musical melody, of which
the coIored race is justly famous. They
gave entire satisfaction. and so far as we
could observe each member of the party
conducted himself with proprlety, and in
a gentlemanly manner, while the females
were very ladylike in their department.
Stauntap has reason to be proud of such
citizens.

water. For this kindness the snake eats
up the young Of the prairie dog.
Indians place buffalo liver in front of
the holes of rattlesnakeS and after they
have bitten it putrefraction ensues, and
the arrow points dipped in the liver are
SO poisoned as to intlict deadly wound.
Probably there is no animal about
which greater untruths have been told,
bigger yarns spun. RattleSnakes have
rings ON their tails, which are sup
posed to denote their age, yet some
times they grow two and three a year.
They are accused of charming birds.
yet they simply spring upon them when
they come within their reach. Over
coming snakes has always been es-
tiquity. st. George, the patron saint of
England, conquered the dragon. st.
Patrick achieved lasting fame by driv-
ing them out Of Ireland, and Hercules
became hero and demi-god when he
had conquered various SerpentS. 1t is
no wonder, then, that snakes have been
WOrshiped as emblematic of hidden,
subtle power, and serpent worship as a
religion has found many followers.
SNAKE-EATING SNAKES.

A letter Just received from MI. Prln-
gle, of Louisiana, the well-known
American snipe-shot, whose wonderful
bags were reported some time since in
your paper, contains the following eX-
tract, which may prove interesting to
some of your readers: II was walking
across very DOGGY marsh, where there
was good deal Of water. and was
stumbling along, not with my former
youthful agility, when l came near
stepping on snake in coil, what is
called 'cotton-mouth moccasin,' whose
bite is not fatal, but somewhat poison
Gus. There being no stick at hand to
kill him, stepped back and shot him,
cutting him not quite but nearly in two,
and exposing his 'innards,' as the col
ored people say. My man Caesar ex-
claimed: Mass, ne got another snake in
him!' and so he had-one nearly as
long as himself. pulled the swallowed
snake out and held him by the tail
alongside the other. The swallower
was about thirty inches long and very
thick, and the swallowed one
and half inches shorter, only
that the latter's head and neck
were doubled, so as TO be forced
into the other. Did you ever know of
one snake eating another? They say
that dog will not eat dog, but it seems
that snake will perform that operation
