An Incident In Grady'S Life.

Governor Richardson is serving lis
second term as chief executive of South

will be elected is certain. There is nc

Snakes III the Land of the Sky.

AsHEv1LLE, n. O., January lS-A
thrilling experience was that Of a young
Ashevl!e physician while hunting wild
turkeys recently. With gun in hand be
had occasion TO get over large fallen
tree trunk. Crouching down iu the
bushes in order to Keep out of sight of
the turkeys, he carefully put his left ey

moment Ills leg was over he felt y sting

hunter. The young man acted quickly
and sensibly. Killing the reptile, he
stabbed the wound made by the fapgs
with his hunting knife. Over and over
again the keen knife did its work until
the blood flowed freely. Above the knee

these heroic measures were effective. As
soon as possible the patient was carried
home and eventually recovered, although
the wounds made by the snake and knife
we're a year in healing. A cavity was
left in the leg extending to the bone.
Frequently the mountaineers capture
rattlers alive. A long stick with slip
moose of stout twine answers as trap.
The snake is induced to strike and the
moose is slipped over it's head and drawn
taut. Then his snakeship can rattle and
strike to his hearts content. The sound
of 8 rattle has business like tone to it..
Every woodsman knows it quick as
wink, and respects it. A snake always
rattles before be strikes, unless disturbed
while asleep. Then the snake bites
without an introduction. The snakes
are brave. They rest in exposed places,
where they can see all about them.
When they strike they do not turn and
run, but recoil nearly one.half their
length and wait their chance for another
attack. Unless disturbed, they do not
seek fight.

round numbers per year.
Some time ago Joseph ]. Speck, of
Kansas City, learned of the existence OF
a certain miraculous stone found in
Southern India, which would heal wounds
of all kinds, particularly snake and dog
bites and any sore from which hydropho.
bia or lockjaw might result. To learn
more of the wonderful curative powers OF
the stone, Mr.. Speck addressed letter
to q native of Bombay. The Hindoo
replied that the stone is supposed to be
found in a serpent's head, aud is rarer
and more valuable than the most costly
gem. The Hiudoos and the wild, savage
natives place great faith in its power, and
guard it as sacredly aud carefully as they
do their idols and gods of metals. The
owner of this particular stone advertised
it and offered it for sale in an American
newspaper, and it was this advertisement
that Mr.. Speck saw. The owner the
stone wants S50,000 for it.
In Illinois "habitual drunkenness for
the space of two years" is ground for
divorce. On this ground a Chicago wife
sued for divorce. The evidence showed
that the husband was not an excessive
drinker. It proved, however, that for
years be had been in the habit of using
morphine by hypodermlc injection. The
effect was condition analogous to intox-
ication. The Supreme Court Of the State
admits that "the effects Of morphine thus
administered are very similar and in many
respects apparently identical with those
produced by the excessive pse Of intoxi
eating liquors." But it holds that the
word drunkenness" in the statute is used
in lila ordinary aud popular sense. It
means intoxication from liquor, not
morphine. Tue divorce was accordingly
refused.

by w. L. Eagleson, business manager oi
the Oklohoma immigration Society in
Kansas, from points in North Carolina,
say that large number of negroes Of that

Eagleson says there are now about

claims they ought to have that country,
and says that President Lincoln and the
Republican party promised to give it to

now they ought to provide for us to leave

think we can do it better elsewhere, let

If the bill meant compulsory expatria-

made to realize the destruction they have
