After one rattlesnake. Is killed, another Is
found near it. If tho body of the dead rep
tilo is dragged through tho houso or across a
cattlo pen, its mato Is pretty sure to tako tip
tho trail and follow it. Through tho
winter theso snnkes arc dormant, They live
In holes mado by tho gopher and tho land
turtle, and nro concealed in many of tho old
cocjiiina ruins dotting tho eastern coast. As
tho summer approaches, they pair oft" and
hunt iu couples. Tho numberless trails In
tho scrub and savannas mado by deer, coons,
wildcats,and otters aro their favorito lurking
places. Hero they llo in ambush, and many
an unfortunate rabbit and opossum falls un
der their fangs.
Nor aro tho low savannas and ealt-water
marshes free from theso great snakes. Last
summer as Judgo Conner, of Live Oak Hill
was crossing tho wido open prairlo at tho
head of Indian river, ho saw a plump gray
squirrel cutting queer antics on a spot of
bare sand, As tho sand was fully a milo
from any tree, and covered with saltwater
six months iu the year, tho Judge's curiosity
as excited. To use his own words, "tho
rjuirrel was jumping around right smart,
and appeared as if ho didn't know what to
o with himself. ' Its attention was not dis
tracted by tlio Judge's approach, for it con
tinued prancing over tho sand in a concentric
course, as though crazed. Tlio Judgo walked
tip with tho intention of capturing it Sud
denly ho was confronted by an enormous
rattlesnake. It was stretched out in the
wire grass surrounding tho sand, with its
head toward the niuirrel. On seeing the
Judge, it threw itself into a eoil nnd mado
anoiseliko that of a buzz saw. Its tail
rattled with terrible earnestness. Thesquir
rcl ceased his antics, and sat up on the sand
as motionless as a statue. Finding neither
stick nor stone on the prairic,tho Judge tried
o scaro tho snako by threatening gest
tins, lheso inceriscil the reptile. Jt reared
bntli crest and tail, darted out its forked
tongue, and jumped fully eight feet toward
the Judge. II is Honor then get angry and
threw clods of earth and grass. At this the
serpent Hew into an ungovernable rage. Its
eyes fairly flashed lire. Apparently aware
that thero was no dangerous weapon within
rer.ch,it ran straight for the Judgc.as though
it meant to closo with him. It finally lie
came so active that Connor was glad to
leave it. As lie walked away it resinned its
position, and tho squirrel began his dance o
lcnlli, charmed by its buzzing music. Tho
Judgo saya that the snake was certainly nino
feet long. Tho mystery is, how came tho
squirrel and its charmer on a salt-vvate
prairio a mile from any tree.
More singular still, tbeo large rattlers
have been seen swimming in the salt water,
Dr. Wallace of Daytona informs me that h
has seen thcra apparently crossing from th.
beach to tho main land at Castle Windy,
Three years ago, Capt. Neil of Xew liedford
ono of Swift's live-oak superintendent, met
a monster near Mosquito Inlet, going out
with tho tide. The snake espied Neil's boat
and made a desperate effort to board her.
The Captain beat it oft" with tho oars, but
the fijht lasted two or three minutes. Tho
serpent at last disabled, drifted away will
the current, and was finally swallowed by
shark.
The larger rattlers nro said to follow herds
of cattle. Cow boys say that they smell tho
milk dropping from the udders of tho cows
and tako up the trail,with a view to nulkiii
them. This is dono while tho cows aro Iy
ing on the ground chewing their cuds. When
the serpent takes the teat in its mouth, tin
cow stops chewing, and becomes as still as
death. Thus she remains until tlio scaly
thief is satisfied. She seems to know that
the least motion would bo fatal. One snake
has been known to milk two cows succesiive
iy.

the rattler crawls to the top of tho full-booted

Tho berries attract tho cardinal grosbeak

llo felt it yield and move under his feet, and
then heard its ominous humming, Ifo jum
ed nearly ten feet, and turned as whito as
sheet, but ho says that tho snako made no
effort to bite him.
A moro remarkable story is that told con
cerning tho tt Ifo of Judgo Connor. Sho
deaf; and this intensifies a natural dread
rattlesnakes, as sho cannot hear their notes
of warning. Somo time ago her husband
and a neighbor wero doctoring a sick colt,
She was standing in tho path, holding some
camphor and a bottlo of liniment. She felt
something cold aud scaly coiling around her
leg. Drawing asido her dress and looking
dawn, sho saw a rattlesnake gazing steadily
in Ler fac, slipping out its red tongue, and
waving its head to and fro as high as her
hand. Tho blood rolled away from her
heart. Sho screamed, and jumped asido so
spasmodically that tho snako lost its hold
and was left on the ground. It is possible
that tho serpant was trying to fascinate her;
but her deafness barred out its low musical
sound. As the Judgo and his neighbor ran
up tho path, sho stood trembling with terror
ou tlio point of a faint.
'She's bit !" taid tho neighbor in a low
tone,
Hut tho deadliest foo of tho rattler is tho
common black snake. Ho is a public bene
factor, and ought to bo protected by tlio
tato Legislature, oven if ho does pick up a
lickcn or two occasionally. Ho grows very
long,and,unllke his Northern compeer, never
assails a human being. Tho rattler fears and
ittiis him j and well ho may, for tho black
ako is as agilo aud quick as tho mainspring
f a watch, and as full of fightas a bull-dog.
Meeting his nntngonit, ho attacks without
delay. After coiling and sounding an alarm
o rattler keenly watches its assailant. At
first tho black snako slowly glides around Its
plral enemy, as though studying its weak
oints. Ho frequently hisos and increases,
s speed wltlt each cycle, ever keeping an
eyo on the rattler. Tho latter twists its head
ith every revolution of its assailant. .Swift-
sweeps tho black snako around tlio circle.
iU tho full bent of his speed the rattler grows
illzzy. In a twinkling it is caught by tho
throat, and tho colls of tho two snakes aro
intermingled. Tho contest is decided by
main strength. As they writhe iu the grass
the superior prowess of tho black snake is
manifest. Tho rattler is slowly strangled.
Sometimes its body is swallowed, but this
does not always follow. Tho coach whip, a
long, clean-cut snake, frequently assists tho
black snake, and instances arc given in
hicli a dozen coach whips and black snakes
joined forces and Killed a small regiment of
rattlers.
Vultures and buzzards, with all their ap-
ctito for carrion, will never touch anything
bitten by a rattlesnake; but when his snake-
ship himself is killed, they devour him with
the greatest relish. A. I. Aim.

A Special Agent's Story.
Out in Iowa, some time since, a railroad
ostal clerk was suspecting of defrauding
tlio department in a small way by using pos
;e ttamps a second lime, and a shrewd
peciul agent was detailed to work up the
Knowing that his reputation was at
stake, and that nothing short of tho most
positive evidence would secure a conviction,
he laid his pl.ins with unusual care. His
first step was to call on tho postmaster at a
mall town along the road, mako himself
known, and ask if lie had received any let
ters, addressed to him, by that day's mail.
Ho had received two. "Now," snid the
agent, "I wish you to carefully removo tlio
canceled stamps from the envelope!', and put
a privat mark on them, which I desire not
to see." Tho 'postmaster obeyed orders,
'Now," continued tho agent, handing him
ii bottlo of acid. "I wish you to write your
name across tho stamps, with a pen dipped
in this colorless solution." The autograpl;
was written as directed. "Now, write two
letters addressed to parties at some town on
the branch road putting out from tho main

and when tho mail train comes along tako
them unstamped to the mail car, hand them
to tho olerk with tho request thai he stanq

master did as requested. .At this particular
station tlio train stopped the usual time to
allow passengers to breakfast, and the pos

letters and money, be deposited them o

Hour, to avoid giving the suspicion of do.
sign, ihn agent then tooK a scat in one o
the rear coaches, and the train sped onward
to tlin junction. The moment tho mail
pouch had been transferred to tho branch
line, and beforo it had been opened, th
agent was in the car. lie ordered tlio clerk
to open it in his presence, and examine
carefully for the two letters, the address
of which he gave. Tlio clerk mado tho
search and readily found them. A glanco
sufficed to show that his scheme had ivorke
perfectly, as, adhering to the envelopes tvero
tho identical stamps winch tlio postmast
had put his private mark upon, and
agent had dropped in tlio mail car on tli
main line. "Take those letters," said he to
tho clerk, "write your name across them,
wrap them iu a paper, seal it securely with
wax, put your private seal thereon, and then
give it to me." And it was done.
Threo times did the special agent of tho
department go through this samo pro
graiiuno in all its details, and invariably
with tlio samo result, before ho ventured to
arrest tho peculating clerk. Ho then had
him so deeply in the toils that thero was no
possibility of cscap?, but the youth, his par

tho details of tho case, laughed attho idea

Whlloso much nltcntloa is given to tho
Temperance movement, n fow facts about
tho origin of tho "Tee-total" pledge may
como fitly in place. In England ns well as
n this country tho advocates ot tho cause
wero very activo half a century ago. Socie
ties wero formed and "pledges" signed. Tho
movement in England was, if not absolute
ly begun, very largely promoted by "Seven
Men of Preston," all working men, who gave
themselves to tho work with a heartiness
which arose from experience and conviction.
Ono of theso men, Joseph I.lvosey, is Hill
living or was quite recently, in or nearl'res
ton, nnd if living ho is in his eighty-eighth
year. Mr. I.lvescy was never a victim to tho
habit of intemperance. Very soon a new
pledgo was prepared, tho first signers of
which wero tho "Seven Men" abovo rcierreu
to. Tho new pledgo interdicted all liquors
of an intoxicating character. Tho actual
origin of tho word "tec-total' issaid to havo
been as follows : One Hlchard Turner, who
spoko fluently and coined words when tho
genuine would not como to him fast enough,
declared, In a public meeting, that no half
measures would answer. "Nothing, no
said "would do but tho tc-tc-total." And
thence camo tho word.
Other accounts have been given, but it
this be not the true one, another charge is
to bo mode against tho veracity of tomb
stones, for tho word-coiner sleeps under a
'stono on which is inscribed : "Beneath this
stone aro deposited tho remains of Itichard

A good citizen of Croghan street was read

man who always walked about with n smilo
on his face. When this l'ersian was nsketi
why ho always looked so happy when other
men looked sad ho replied:1
"I smilo because it may bo sunshine to
some poor soul surrounded by shadows.'
It was very nico in tho l'ersian. and tho
Croghan street man said he'd be hanged if
no coumirt outsmilo a Persian or anybody
elso walking around on two legs. He at
onco began to sinilo on his wife. Sho stood
it for a few minutes and then observed :

Lord Northington,one day while out walk
ing, picked up a handsome ring and was im
mediately accosted by tho gentleman who
lost it, who invited the Chancellor to drink
a bottle of wino with him. They went to a
neighboring tavern nnd discussed tho news
of tho day over their bottle. Somo friends
of tho gentlemen entered, the conversation
becamo general, and a game of hazard was
proposed, but ono of tho company objected
in an undertone, but loud enough to bo
heard by tho Lord, "pick tho old flat's
pockets at once." Tho chanceller then dis
covered himself, and requested them to tell
him why they took him to be a flat. One of
them replied : "We bvg your lordship's par
don, but whenever we seo a gentleman in
white stockings on a dirty day, wo consider
him a regular pigeon and pluck his feath
ers." It has been suggested that this is tho
origin of the word "blackleg" as applied to
gamblers.
