THE TOSSUM.
GLOWIXU ACCOUNT OF A NOBLK ANI
MAL. A Favorite from tne Potomac te the RIe
Grande.
Cel. A. G. Brackett, U. S. A , in Gcrmantewu
Telegraph.
In Western Texas and California opos
sums are found, though thej are by no
means very numerous. I have seen aud
killed them en the open plains when thcr
vrere runuing toward a place of conceal
ment. In soieo respects these animals
are singular and worthy of notice. Iu
size they are about a feet long, with a
long prehensile tail that is hard and naked.
Their bodies are reuud, the fur long and
of a grayish color or rather the hairs arc
with black ends ; the eyes small, ears
round, membranous and naked ; the claws
en the feet blunt, except the inner one en
the hind feet, there being five en each
feet. It is said te have fifty teeth. The
gait of the animal is slew, except when en
the trees, where it becomes very lively. It
is solitary iu its habits, except when tear
ing a family. Its feed consists of nuts,
berries, roots, tender snoots, young buds,
eggs aud insects. It is very expert at
climbing and when encu m a tree loves te
haug by its tail with its head down.
When caught it sometimes appears as
if dead, being lolled up aud literally
"playing possum."' In this condition it
will hubniit te considerable torture boferc
it will manifest any signs of life. The
The female has seven ter eijjht young ones,
which when born arc net larger than
honey bees. The little creatures are con
veyed iu a sack or pouch iu freut of the
mother, where each one hangs en te a teat
and are thus carried about by her. The
young increase in size very rapidly while
thus bunging en te the teats. When about
five weeks old they aie as large as a mouse
and then leave the pouch, running back
te it, however, en the approach of dan
ger, or wheu they wish for feed. The
mother is very fend of her little ones, aud
carries them about with her, they twist
ing their tails round her and clinging te
various parts of her body. The females
commence having young when they arc a
year old, and have three or four litters
every year.
The negrees of the Seuth arc remarkably
fend of the flesh of these animals, which is
said te resemble that of a pig. The Ir.di
ans, tee, cat them whenever they can
catch them. Tin hipd feet is shaped very
much like the human hand, aud they read
ily grasp anything with it. Its prehensile
tail, its hand aud thumb and the pouch iu
which the femalu carries her young, are
the remarkable peculiarities of the opos
sum. It may be fed and tamed like a do
mestic animal, but eveu then does no;
make a nice pet. It creates disgust by its
bad odor, stronger and mere offensive than
that of the fox. Its figure also is forbid
ding, for independently of its cars, which
resemble these of au owl ; of its tail which
is like that of a snake, and of its mouth
which is cleft te the very eyes ; its body
always appears dirty, because the hair is
neither smooth nor curled, but tarnished,
as if covered with dirt. The bad odor of
the animal is in the skin, as the ilesh is
excellent. It is ?e tenacious of life that
it has given rise te a saying, that ' if a
cat has nine lives an oppessum has nine
teen." When disturbed, the female, if she has
young, opens her mouth very wide, dis
closing all of her teeth, and thus awaits
the attack. She does net attempt te bite
until her enemy is about te seize held of
her, when she closes her teeth firmly upon
it. At the same time the little ones, if
they have attained any size, either exhibit
their Mgns of defiance, lake refuge in the
pouch of the mother, or, clinging te the
various parts of her body, hide tlieir little
faces in her long hair. The opossum has
few friends, and many enemies ; the rapa
cious animal? of the forests killing it upon
every occasion ; and the eagles, hawks
and owls tearing it te pieces, and feeding
ou its llesh. White, black, and jed men,
never let it escape, and are ready te seize
it whenever an opportunity offers. Their
nests are built near the roots of trees, but
poorly concealed, and for this reason suffer
mere than they otherwise would.
Ne meat en earth is se highly prized by
the colored people of the Seuth as that of
the opossum. It is related that a pr( s'dent
of Liberia once visited the United States,
and while here becanie very sick. There
was a general wasting away of his system,
and he seemed almost ou the verge of
eternity. IIe was visiting the home of a
friend one day, when he smelt the aroma
of an opossum, that the domestics were
cooking. Instantly his whole demeanor
changed, aud he begged' of his host (e let
him have some of 'it, as he felt that it
would de him geed, lle tasted it in fact
he ate the whole of tha opossum aud
from that day became a well man The
president was born aud reared iu the
Southern states, where he had frequently
ate opossums wheu he was a boy, aud the
recollection of old times te 'ether with the
delicious Haver of the opossum cured him
at once.
I was euce traveling near the Guida
lupe river, in Texas, when I saw an opos
sum making his way ever the prairie, a
sheit distance oil". I instantly gave chase,
aud a few reds running brought me up te
him. I was about te sheet him with my
pistol when he commenced " playing 'pos
sum," and I struck him ever the head,
killing him. I took him te the ranchc
where I was stepping, a few miles away,
and the negrees had orders te cook him
for breakfast. Herning came, but there
was no opossum. Search was instituted,
and the colored cook said the cat had car
ried off the animal during the night. The
fact was the negrees had eaten him them
selves, their appetites having get the bet
ter of their honesty.
There is a plantation proverb iu these
words, " Don't fall out wid de pet wet
cook de 'possum." Te which might be
added, never trust a colored man with an
opossum.
The opossums of Texas are known as
Diddplns CaUfernica, (Benuett) while
these of the north are called Yiryiaiuna,
the difference being very little between the
two. These animals are the only lepre
sentatives of the marsupial in North aud
Seuth America. By niatsnpial is meant
ene of the nuirsuplulia, a mnmifureus
quadiuped, the female of which has a
pouch, which serves as a temporary abode
for her young, as the kangaroo and oyes
sum. It appears that these animals vary
considerable in s'ze, some being as small
as mice, while ethers are as large as cat1-.
They live en mice, beetles, birds, worms,
snails and things of that kine mat nicy
find scattered about, and love te get into
trees where their long prehensile tails help
them ereatly. They have the power of
winding the tail round a limb aud hang
ing with their heads downward, which
enables them te see all parts of a tree ;
and the young ones wind their tails round
that of their mother te prevent their fall
ing off. The little ones are quite nimble,
but net enough se te go about without the
assistance of the parent.
Besides the insects, birds, etc., that the
opesiuiin cats, it is also fend et liuit, and
in fact of almost anything, being truly
omnivorous. There are several species in
Seuth America, some of which have no
pouch. The skins have become an itn
pertant article of commerce, but exactly
in what manner I am unable te say.
When Virginia was discovered by white
meu aud when it was settled, of course
there were mauy wild animals found that
wcre strange te the Europeans. It took
some time te become acquainted with
them, but when ence they had gained a
knowledge of them, aud the meat of the
opossum was feuud te be geed, the animal
took rank among these entitled te respect ;
this was especially the case among the
sons of Africa who were brought in as
slaves. There is no telling what a Southern
colored man will net de te get possession
of au opossum . Ilis dream of happiness
is centred in a great measure in this
animal, and without the delights of '"pos
sum fat " few places could be found allur
ing enough for his paradise. His eyes
roll in a sort of ecstasy when talking about
it, and his whole frame swells with desire.
It was foitunate that the pteple, who
were at times considerably pressed
for previsions, found se welcome an addi
tien te their store of feed, as it makes up
in quality what it lacks in quantity. The
weeds iu certain localities fairly swarmed
with them, aud there was no trouble iu
cantuiiug them after they were ence dis
covered. It is no wonder the negrees are
never tired of singiug their praises.
The fame of the Texas opossums has
net spiead very lar, although theie are
people in that state who think as much of
tke animal as de people of ether sections.
There is se much wild game in that favor
ed locality that the opossum has no par
ticular prominence. I cannot find that
" Uncle Remus "' has much te say about
the animal under consideration, which is
somewhat strange, as he is net behind
hand usually in giving his peculiar views
iu regard te ether mamalsand birds. This
mammal, tee, plays an important paitinthe
domestic life et the negre, aud it would seem
as if he ought te have given him a geed
notice, while doing se much for his ether
friends aud acquaintances. Audubeu
says : " Suppose the farmer has surprised
au oppessum in the act of killing ene of
his best fowls. His angry feelings urge
him te kick the peer beast which, con
scious of its inability te resist, rolls off
like a ball. The mere the farmer rages
the inore reluctant is the animal te mani
fest lesistaucc ; at last there it lies, net
dead, but exhausted, its jaws open, its
eyes dimmed ; and there it would lie until
the bottle lly should come te deposit its
eggs, did net its tei mentor walk off.
' Surely,' hays he te himself, ' the beast
must be dead.' But no, reader, it is only
1 'pesstiraing,' and no sooner has its
enemy withdrawn than it gradually gets
en its legs and ence niore makes for the
weeds." The stories are endless that are
told about these animals, some of them
being quite iuteicsting, and certainly no
animal in the world can feign death se
well or bear se much abuse while sham
ming. It is refreshing te hear a Virginian tell
ing about catchiiij- opossums in a grove of
persimmon trees, then taking them home,
scalding them se as te get the hair off. and
then having them roasted like a young
pig. IIe is only outdeno by the Missou Misseu
rian who fairly revels in the stories of the
number he has taken in the lands west or
Springfield, where one gentlemau told me
he had taken eighteen in a night when he
was a boy. The animals have great fond
ness for paw paws and black haws, aud
while hanging with their heads down iu
the darkness he would suddenly steal up
en them, when they would let go their
held and drop in the underbusb, whero
they weie seen captured. IIe told me of
crossing a stream ence with another lad,
they having .succeeded in capturing a
number, wheu the bridge they were en
gave way, and boys, poles and opossums
all went swimming down stream, and it
was with considerable difficulty that they
themselves get ashore. " 'Possum and
sweet potatoes " is a dish that has pecu
liar charms te Southern men that have
been reared in the country, and if properly
prepared by an old negre cook is in fact
as appetizing as can be imagined. I
think it is claimed that only a colored
roeok cau de justice te an op jssum and
bring out all the peculiar excellence of tLe
meat.
TKAVKI.LING AS MERCHANDISE.
Hexing lllinselt up and Starting for Phila
delphia, but Landing in Jail.
Three weeks age Jehn HcAuIcy, an old
and well-known citizen of Chicago, who is
of an eccentric aud jocular disposition,
conceived the idea of boxing himself up
and obtaining transportation te Philadel
phia as merchandise He was informed by
the agent of the Adams express company
that he could go iu a box, but that he
would have te p;iy passenger fare. Hc
AuIcy declared Unit he would go as
merchandise, and would pay no mere than
$2.50 per hundred. He boxed himself up
with a week's previsions by his side, and
was t.tken by au expressman te the office.
The box was 18 inches wide, 6 feet long,
hoeped with iron bauds and ornamented
with a padlock. The ngent was told that
it contained llewers. It was addressed te
Hiss Kisselman, Philadelphia. The box
was forwarded te its destination, the
charges having been prepaid. Toward
morning the messenger discovered the old
man, aud when the train stepped at Van
Wert, Ohie, he turned him ever te the au au
theiitic. who put him iu jail. The express
elliccis wonder that the messenger did net
sheet HcAulcy for a train robber. The
old man was shipped home.
