WEED'S SNAO STORY. NOT ONE Ot'l'HE MODERN TRUTH tUL KIND, HUT A SHOCKING INVEN TION. About a Reptile of Wondrous Sagacity that was Seen t4 illilk a Cew A True Des Story auil Other In teresting Reminis cences. Thurlow "Weed told a Sun Reporter the ether day that a bogus snake story, about a black snake milking a cow regularly, which he published in the Rochester Tele graph mere than half a century age, has reappeared and gene the rounds of the press every ten or fifteen years since. He said "there was a curious deg story in the paper about that time 1824 or '23. It was this : There was a farmer living in the township of Henrietta, Menree county, who had moved there from Vermont, tak ing with him a favorite deg. Fer four or five years the fanner and his wife, after his work was done in the fall, made an an nual visit te Vermont in his light wagon (this was before the days of railroads). and took the deg with him. The sixth year the farmer died. The deg waited till it was time for the farmer te make his visit, fctaited oil" alone, and made his ap pearance in Veinient, where he remained and refused te return. "The story was extensively copied in the newspapers and my friend and I, talking it ever in the office, resolved te invent a snake story, and try Lew big a story peo ple would swallow. The outcome of enr deliberations was thL : "A farmer in the town of Parma, Menree c mnty, had several cows id his weed let and he discovered that o:ie of them was failing in her milk. He was surprised, for she had every outward indication of giving plenty of milk ; but when she was brought home in the evening te be milked she had no milk of any consequence. -It finally ex cited se much attention that they had a boy set te watch the cows, naif an hour or se before the usual time for the cows te be driven in for milking, this particular cow" left the ethers ana went off in the bushes. The boy follewcd:hcr. She seem ed te be in search of something. At last, te the lad's astonishment, a snake crawled up te the cow and caught held of her teat. She steed patiently until the snake had satisfied itself and glided away, when she rejoined the ether cows. The boy ran home and told the story. They changed her pasture after that and she gave as geed milk as anybody's cows." "There was another curious story start ed, but it only lasted a few years, I didn't originate that myself ; it was done by a wag who used te come into my office about that time. He brought in a paragraph stating that some fishermen at the mouth of a creek emptying into Lake Ontario had found a black bottle en the beach. It was sealcd up, but en opening it there was found a written account.ef a naval engage ment en Lake Ontario in 1750 between the French and British vessels. It purported te have been thrown overboard when one of the vessels was sinking. The story was generally copied by the press, and I had se many letters about it that it finally bc bc came embarrassing. I remember that among them were letters from the histori cal society of Philadelphia and the histori cal society of Quebec. At length a letter came from the historical society of Paris asking for fuller information ; aud I 'had the mortification of having te state that it was a hoax, which wasn't very pleasant." Mr. Weed talked pleasantly about the periodical reappearance of old stories, and pf fugitive poetry in the newspapers until another reminiscence occurred te him. " I remember feeling very bad," he said, "ever one illusion el'my own that was destroyed somewhat rudely I had pub lished with great satisfaction an article which I had copied, giving a description of our Saviour, alleged te have been writ ten by a Reman governor te a Reman em peror. It was just such a description as you would imagine of the Saviour's phys ique and appearance, even te his voice, and was altogether a most charming pic ture. I published it a number of times during fifty years, generally about Christ mas as the most appropriate occasion. Five or six years age, net having seen it for several years, I wrote a little account of it in the Tribune, aiid directly there came evidence that it was a fraud. I didn't believe it at first, se strong had been my belief m the genuineness, but finally I was overwhelmed by the proofs, and had te give it up. It was written by a monk in the seventh or eighth century. Mere conversation ensued about Mr. Weed's newspaper experience since 1817, when he first published a paper, until he brought up another reminiscence. " I was traveling in the stage," he said, " through a place known as the Indian Castle, about eighteen miles from Utica. In these days there were always idle Indians lying around the taverns. While we get out for a few minutes, I had a conversation with a squaw which I printed afterwards, and which was widely copied. " The squaw had her pappoeso strapped en her back, as usual with them. I said te her, looking at the child, " Is that your pappoese? She said "Yes," "Why," said I. "that's a white child." "Ne," she replied, gravely : " it half Indian, half missionary.' Modern First-class Snake Stories. Uroeklyn Eagle. "De you want some items about snakes?'' asked an agricultulyrural-loek-ing gentleman of the Eagle's city editor the ether day. "If they are fresh and true," responded the city editor. "Exactly," replied the farmer. "These items arc both. Nobody knows 'cm but me. I get a farm down en the island a piece, and there's a let of snakes en it. Near the house is a pond six feet deep. A week age my little girl jumped into the pond, aud would have drowned if it hadn't been for a snake. Tlic snake seen her and went for her and brought her ashore. The particular point about this item is the way he did it." "It was a black snake, about thirty feet long, and he just coiled the middle of himself around her neck se she couldn't swallow any water, and swum ashore with his head and tail. Is that a geed item ?" "First class." "Yeu can spread it out, you knew. After they get ashore the girl patted the snake en the head, and it went off pleased as Punch. Ever since then he comes te the house regular at meal times, and she feeds him en pie. He likes pie. Think you can make anything out of that item." "Certainly. Knew any mere ?' "Yes. I get a baby six months old. He's a boy. We generally sit him en the grass of a morning, and he hollers like a bull all day ; at least he used te, but he don't any mere. One morning we no ticed he wasn't hollering, and wondered what was np. When we looked, there was a rattlesnake coiled up in front of him scanning his features. The boy was ginning and the snake was grinning, imeby the snake turned bis tail te the baby and backed his rattle right into the baby's fist." "What did the baby de?" "Why, he just rattled that tail se you could hear it three-quarters of a mile, and the snake lay there aud grinned. Every morning we found the snake there, until one day a bigger snake came, and the baby played with his rattle just the same till the first snake came back, no looked thin, and I reckon he had been sick and sent the ether te take his place. Will that de for an item ?" "Immensely." replied the city editor. "Yeu can fill in about the confidence of childhood, aud all that, and you might say something about the blue-eyed cherub. His name is Isaac. Put that in te please my wife." " I'll de it. Any mere snake items?" "Lcmmc see. You've heard of hoop snakes?" "Yes, often." "Just se. Net along age we heard a fearful row in our cellar one night. It sounded like a rock-blast, and then there was a hiss aud things was quiet. When I looked in the morning the cider barrel had busted. But we didn't lese much cider." " Hew did you save it ?" "It seems that the staves had busted out, but before they could get aw', four hoop-snakes coiled around the batrel and tightened it up aud held it together until we drew the cider off in bottle. That's the way we found 'em, and we've kept 'era around the house ever since. We're train ing 'cm for shawl-straps new. Docs that strike you favorably for an item ?" " Euornieusly,' responded the city edi tor. " Yeu can fix it up S3 as te show hew quick they was te get there before the staves were blown oil'. Yeu can work in the details." 'Of course. I'll attend te all that. De yen think of any mere?" "Ain't you get enough ? Lcmmc think. Oh, yes ! One Saturday me and iny wife was going te church and she dropped her garter somewhere. She told me about it, anil I noticed a little striped snake running alongside and listening te her. Bimeby he made a spring and just wound himself around her stocking or tried te, but he didn't fetch it." "Why net?" "He wasn't quite long enough. He jumped down aud shook his head and started off. We hadn't get iner'n a quar ter of a mile when we see him coming out of the weeds just ahead of us. He was awful het and tired and he had another snake with him twice as big as he was. They looked at iny wife a minute and said something te each ether, and then the big snake went right te the place where the garter belonged. He wrapped right around it, put his tail in his mouth and went te sleep. We get him yet. We use him te held the stovepipe together when we put the stove up, Is that any news as an item?" "Certainly," said the city editor. " Yeu can say something about the first snake's eye for distances, and his intellec tuality, when he found he wouldn't go round. Yeu knew hew te de that better than me." " I'll give him all the credithe deserves. Can you tell us any mete V" "I deu't call any te mind just at present. My wife knows a let of snake items, but I forget 'cm. By the way, though, I've get a regular living curiosity down en my placc. One day my eldest boy was sitting en the back steep doing his sum, and he couldn't get 'cm right. He felt something against his face and there was a little snake coiled upon his sheuldcrand looking at the slate. In four minutes he had done all them sums. We've tamed him se he keeps all our accounts and he is the light niugest cuss at figures you ever seen. He'll run up a column eight feet long in three seconds. I wouldn't take a reaper for him." "What kind of a snake is he?" in quired the city editor, curiously. "The neighbors call him an adder." "Oh, yes ! yes !" said the city editor, a little disconcerted. "I've heard of the species. When did all these things hap pen ?" "Along in the fore part of the spring, but I didn't say anything about 'cm, 'cause it wasn't the season for snake items. This is about time for that sort of thing, isn't it ?" " Yes," chipped in the exchange editor, "you couldn't have picked out a better time for snake stories." A Man Who Was Hanged. Terrible r.xpericiice of n Confederate of the Renders. A reporter of the Kansas City 77tclias had an interview with Ihulelph iireckraan, who resides in the neighborhood of Cherry vale, near the farm that was formerly oc cupied by the Benders. Breckman was once suspected of being in collusion with them and was hanged by a mob until he was nearly dead, because he could net tell of their whereabouts. The reporter in duced Breckman te talkabeut the outrage upon himself committed by a drunken mob, and he said : They came te my house en their way te Independence. I and my family had re tired. They wanted me te get up and come out. I could tell by their talk that they were drunk and excited, se I told them te go away and net molest mc. They then commenced te stone my house. Se, as a protection te my family, I dressed and went out. They began by beating me ever the head with their revolvers, and thrcatyned te sheet mc te death if I did net tell them where the Benders were. I told them I knew no mere about it than they themselves did, and they then hustled me iute a wagon and took me about four miles te Drum Creek timber, where they again beat 'me with their revolvers and again ordered me te tell him where the Benders were. Of course I could net tell and they then brought a rope out of one of the wagons, and, alter adjusting it around my neck, threw the cud ever a limb. There were eight in the party, six of them steed eif and two of them steed ready te pull mc up. One of the men who steed off among the six (I think his name was Bean) ordered the men te pull away and up I went. I made up my mind that my time had come and I could net help myself. I did net pray, but if I remember correctly I did some very energetic cussing te myself about that time. It must have been about three or four minutes before I lest my conscious ness ; it seemed te mc a lifetime. The sensation of being choked by a rope is very peculiar. All'the bleed in my body seem ed te rush te my head. I could feel my eyes starting from their sockets ; they felt large as billiard balls and as het as fire. My head seemed te be as large as a mountain nnd bursting open at all points. But the most striking and remarkable peculiarity was that of my tensue. I could net get my tongue out far enough. It seemed a relief te run my tongue out, and I felt as though I wanted te run it out a thousand feet. Finally everything began te buzz, and I lest all consciousness. When I regained it, they were ever me rubbing me, and the first I heard was, " ! I believe he is as dead as ." They then steed me en my feet, and tried te start a circulation of my bleed. I felt benumbed all ever, and was terribly bewildered. They worked with me about an hour before I could stand alone. They then threatened te hang me again if I did net tell them where the Ben ders were. I could net, and begged them te hang me until dead the next time and net try and bring me te. I had already suf- lered death, and did net want te suffer it again and then be brought te. One of them came te me and whispered for me te run into the bushes and get away. I told him I would net. He told me then te walk off, and after I get started they fired several shots after me, te scare me I suppose, but I was far past being scared at that time. I thou wandered round in the weeds, and finally found Baker's blacksmith shop, where I found some of my friends, who were looking for mc. A. Natural Ice Heuse. In the Blue mountains, en the farm of Samuel Thompson, near Swartswood pond, in Sussex county, New Jersey, is a crevice or canon several huudred yards in length, aud from ten te thirty feet deep. The bot tom is covered with ice, aud the caves and crevices are filled with it. In fact, it is a natural ice house, where many tens of ice can be taken out without apparently de creasing the supply. The greater part of it has been there for many years, the mass slowly melting in summer and increasing in winter until it has beceme several feet thick. During the past warm weather, when the thermometer registered in the nineties only a mile from the gorge, at the bottom of it, it marked only thirty-eight degrees. A few tcet from one end of the gorge a spring of sparkling water bubbles up. This water stands at thirty-four de crees durinz winter and summer. Mr. Thompson says that thj farmers for miles around take ice from fais place. BOOKS Alllt STATIONERY. VTJW STATIONERY! New, Plain and Fancy STATIONERY.
