A resident of Sunset avenue has been
greatly annoyed by the unexpected and
unnatural hailure Of his COW to give any
milk at night. Late Sunday afternoon
he observed a large snake milking his
COW, which with some difficulty he capt
ured. 1t was a curious looking snake,
whitish and blue in color. When 1t died
its mouth was wide open and stifened
in that way, disclosing in its throat as
pretty a milk strainer formed of a bony
growth as one would wish to see.-Meigs

An iinerant photographer was visited
in q Franklin county town by an
economical young man, who, after a
long banter and some beating down in
the price, finally sat for q picture. He
was told to look at a certain nail. and
not understanding the photographers
that win do" continued to gaze at it.
The photographer let him sit the after
noon out, as no other sitters came, to
his own great amusement, while tears
ran oopiously down our economical

Taylor and Messrs. jefferson and
Madison. He Is not willing 10 let Us
think that Mr.. Taylor as thinker. as
an intelligent member Of Congress,
deemed these laws unwise and unlaw-
ful; he opposes them from personal
grounds .'because he was SO bitterly
opposed to President Adams and SO
hated these laws We benighted de-
scendants OF cabbage eaters had al
ways thought that the great author of
the Declaration, in his assaults on
these laws, honestly believed that
these laws were not in accord with the
Constitution that he knew so well.
But we were all wrong: he opposed
them because ''he. sympathized with
John Taylor" We dcluded South
erncrs have always had the impress
sion that when Maaist wrote what
Stephens calls ..that matchless Re-
port he did SO because he was salts
fed that these acts were against the
whole spirit Of the Constitution which
he had helped to form; but no, he
"sympathized with John Taylor and
that inspired his zen.

Some Strongly Antl-Southern His
tories.
BY PROF. d. II. HILL, JR., IN NORTH
CAROLINA TEACHER.

1t is truism that what we learn in
childhood sticks longest in the mem.
ory and colors all our later acquisi.
tions. Hence the Importance of pre-
senting only truth to the child's mind.
Are our Southern children getting
truth and truth only from many OF the
so-called histories now used in some
OF our schoolsp Surely some of our
teachers are not sufficiently considering
the statements made in these works
or the books would speedily go to
kindlc the fire.
One OF these "histories'' for young
people is from the pen OF Charles
