A SNAKE FARM.
One Kentuckian who Has Mastered
the Reptile Family.
From the st. Louis Republic.

From the st. Louis Republic
Lancaster KY, Dec. 12.-Garrard coun-
ty, for a blue grass county, has a great
variety of picturesque scenery Hours
upon hours can be pleasantly spent on the
shores of the Kentucky river and Dix
river, both of which wash her shores, ad-
miring their stupendous cliffs, which rear
their evergreen heads towards the shining
sun.
A short distance from Lancaster our
county seat, at the foot of the rolling hills
which trend off toward the classic shades
and tangled dells of ''Sweetwater Greek, 4"
is the home of a wealthy farmer, Henry O.
Sutton by name. The approach to his ivy
covered brick mansion is like the glimpse
that the wandering peri caught through
the opening gates of paradise. Chill
dren reared in such romantic surround
ings can but give loose rein to the imagi-
nation, and all the hooks and corners are
soon filed with creations of the brain.
II. Clay Sutton, the only son of Henry Q.
Sutton, early in life exhibited not only a
wonderful imagination, but marked arts
tic talent. He was not a mere copyist,
but possessed remarkable inventive
powers He would sit for hours in pro-
found study, totally oblivious to the sur
roundings, and would then in few short
hours, with pencil and brush, paint pic
ture strikingly original, thoroughly life
like, and which would well stir the ieal-
ousies of the old masters He loves these
creations Of the brain far too fondly to
part with them for great money consid-
alton, and he admits but the chosen few
to the optical feast always spread in this
picture gallery. He is possessed of great
culture and refinement. He is thoroughly
educated, and all this is set off by
grace and manners and charming CONVEX
sational powers, largely natural, but
greatly aided by travel and society. OF
course, he yields a graceful pen, and
many of his articles are treat of snakes
and their habits subject in regard TO
which he is thoroughly informed, as this
letter will show.
1t is doubtful if he ever admitted any
one but your correspondent To the inmO st
recesses of his picture gallery. Strolling
in that direction a few days ago, | found
the distinguished artist for the first
time. neither busy with his hands nor
in profound meditation, but in talka-
tive. communicative mood. He at once
invited me into his gallery, on entering
which a sight burst upon my view which
almost staggered me. The walls were
entirely covered, and all kinds of stands
and tables were likewise covered with
pictures, all from the pencil of the wonder
full artist They were arranged and num-
bered after a most perfect system Of his
own, ranging from one up into NUMBERS
which dare not give for fear of exciting
incredulity.
The first picture was that of a land
scape with perfectly painted snake at
distance in the background. The next
picture exhibited a snake further TO the
front, with another snake in the back
ground. As you pass along the gallery,
