Hassan Toolidge, of Ward City, Ari-
IONA, will probably SOC be in a circus.
He has devoted his spare time to edu-
eating a black snake, and has taught it
a number OF remarkable tricks. At the
word of command the snake will tic
itself up in II Turks knot and remain
in that position until released. Then
it will stand straight up on the end Of
its tail and hiss an accompaniment to Il
violin which its master plays. The in
telligent reptile sees to putting the
chickens in their coop at night, and if
one happens to be missing it will thresh
around and hiss in Il most alarming
manner until Mr.. Toolidge's attention
is attracted. Its favorite resting place
at night is one of Mr.. ToOlidge's long
boots.

A Log OF S~erpents.

At Mount Holley, S. c., DIR. Byrd and
a party Of hands were nj work in the
woods. While some of the men we're
chopping n log it suddenly began to
move toward a creek, and the negroes
iled in terror. AS the log reached the
creek and fell into it the source of its
power of locomotion was revealed in n
most astounding anne Hundreds of
Kissing serpents leaped forth from their
hiding-place in the log, and darted
forth in different directions in the
water. The snakes were Of the genuine
water moccasin species, varying in
length from that of II buggy spoke to "a
hoe handle. Dir. Byrd and others stood
by watching the snakes depart, and
their going consumed fully thirty min
utes. Three of the negroes who fed
when the log began to move have not
since been heard from.

ton there is a little ~ten-ycar-old girl
whose case has thus far baffled the best
authorities on mental diseases,
says a Boston dispatch. Her pc
culiar trait is her inordinate desire to
climb to the top perch on any object, be
it ever so high, to mount and balance
herself upon seemingly inaccessible
lodges and there rest content. On en-
tering n room and knowing she is UNI
observed she will fling open a door and,
catching hold of the edge with her
hands and pressing her knees together,
climb to the top and seat herself,
wholly unconcerned and apparently
happy. She will swing back and forth
with no fear of falling. Indeed, she
has been known to lose her bal
anCe.
Her most troublesome trait is her
strong aversion to wearing any cloth
ing. She discards her shoes and stock
ings whenever possible, tears off her
garments. and causes no end Of care to
the patient attendants, who find her
from time to time almost devoid of COW
erlng. She frequently climbs with
wonderful agility upon n wardrobe
twelve feet high, or again will mount
to the top shelf and there coil herself
up like a cat. She has been known to
ascend an eighteen-foot pillar support
ing the ceiling and roost upon its ledge.
One night she left her bed and deliber-
ately climbed down the spOuting from
the fourth story to the street. She has
never injured herself. Her parents
are both strong mentally and physically.

A Singular Freak.

The collection of animals now at the
park ZOO" Is very large and consists OF
many rare specimens, says the Balti-
more Sun of Il recent date. Among the
latest arrivals is a family OF Chinese
rabbits, which are very unique in APP
pearauce. They are larger than the
American species and not quite so
nimblc. The ear, which is like that Of
Il beagle hound, gives them their
peculiar appearance. A three and-L-
half logged eat has also been presented
10 Captain Cassel by a lady who de-
first quartered with the guinea pigs,
but has lately been put in with
monkeys. billy the oldest monkey
in the Zoo, gave the cat "A friendly re
ception, ana the monkeys and the cat

We had the pleasure last week Of witness
ing part of the commencement exercises
Of the 37th session of the famous Baylor
University.
It is not generally known that this old and
reliable Institution opens her doors to both
sexes. This Is, however, the case, and many
have received a liberal and thorough educa-
ton and are now following the walks of life
and occupying prominent positions in vari-
Gus professions. The following young ladies
and gentlemen are the graduates
Literary department-Misses Claudia Rob
insOn, San Diego, Cal, Irene Shannon, East
land, Texas; Lena Davis, Waco, Texas; Mat
tie Carter, Marshall, Texas: Lena Napier.
Eettie Reed, Estelle Standlfer, Mary Allen;
Rosa King, ". Il. Long, Jr., J. c. F. Kyger,
Waco, Texas; Ida Hawkins, Whitney, Texas;
Jude BaTnwell. GilmeT, Texas; Mrs B. F.
Mullen, Progresso, Coahoula, Mexico; j. s.
Fitzhugh, -- and John Wood, Hubbard
City, Texas.
In addition to the above the following
young ladies and gentlemen graduated in the
Lone Star School of Oratory, receiving the
degree Of B. o.: Miss Irene Shannon, Miss
Matte Carter, Ida Hawkins, Lula Ludman,
Forrest Tucker, and Messrs. w. II. Forrest
er, J. D. Murphree and P. L. Tippet.
There was also quite a number graduated
in the Commercial department whose names
we failed to get.
To paTticularize in reference to this histo-
rio institution would require more space
than We can spare this week. We regard
this Institution Of learning as one having no
peer in the great State of Texas, and judg-
ing from efforts put forth, at no distant day
y will be the peer of any in this country.
We would say to the good and enterprfsing
citizens Of Waco, look well to Baylor Uni-
Versity. Give her your moral and financial
support and she will pay back twenty-fold
more to your hourishing city in q moral and
financial sense than your investment.

In the Echo of June 18th we stated
that tickets to the Baptist State Con
ventiou at Evergreen would be sold
at reduced rates to all attending the
Convention by the Morgan railroad,
on the 9th, 7th and sth of July, This
was according to the first application
made for reduced rates but is an error.
II should have read the I'd, Sd, and
4th of July, and upon a subsequent
request made by the Secretary the
change has kindly been made by Mr.,

MoCLELLAED, La, June 9th, 1888.
Editor Echo Lake Charles, La:
DEAR SIR AND BROTHER According to
previous appointment Eds. Warren Hamil-
ton, pastor, and A. P. seoaeld, Missionary
for Caleasieu Association, met with the breth-
rem Of Magnolia church on Saturday before
the Bird Sabbath in this month, and began a
series of meetings. The meeting continued
until Sunday evening, at which time the last
service was held the rains, which had al
ready interfered somewhat with the services,
falling so heavily as to stop all efforts in this
direction.
Monday morning Bro. Hamilton returned
to SugartOwn to look after the interest of the
meeting which was to begin there on Thurs
day night following. Wednesday evening
Eds A. P. scofeld and w N. Thompson,
the latter having come in on Sunday by invi-
tatlon, attempted to go to Sugartown, but
failed on account of high water. Bro. SEQ
held judging from appearance of things In
his locality and from reports Of high waters
generally, concluded that it would not be
advisable to undertake to reach SugartOwn
until after the weather had stilled and the
waters down. Destring to make a visit to
his family at Gloster, Miss, Bro. s. left Nc
Clelland Thursday morning and took the
train the same night to return by way Of the
State Convention to Sugartown, which place
he hoped to reach by July 10th.
Bro. Scofeld did very acceptable preaching
and one was baptized Sunday afternoon. Our
people became very much attached TO him
and regretted the circumstances which made
1t necessary for him to leave SO soon.
Bro. ThOmpEOn not leaving the neighbOr-
hood Immediately was urged by the brethren
to stay over and make another effort to hold
a meeting this he did, preaching once day
from Thursday till the following Monday at
which time he concluded the meeting by ad-
ministeIing the ordinance of baptism TO three
happy followers of the Master, who had been
brought IN under his preaching. We thank
God and take courage. Mey those brethren
come this way again, is the hearty wish of

had been no accessious but the con.
