D. • ere is much in the history and habits of the reptile tribes, however repulsive they may be in appearance, that is very in teresting. During a sojourn of two or three months in the interior of Arkansas, which appears to me to be the paradise of reptiles, I paid some attention to that branch of natural history called ophiology. I found four distinct varieties of rattle— snakes, (croialus,) of which the Crotalus Horridus and Crotalus Kirtlandii are by far the most numerous. The former is the largest serpent in North America..— The family of moccasin snakes (Collumber)' is also quite numerous, there being not less than ten varieties, most of which are quite asvenomous as the rattlesnake. By dissect ing great numbers of different species, I learned that the anatomical structure of the poisoning apparatus is similar in all the different varieties of venomous serpents It consists of a strong frame work of bone, with its appropriate muscles in the upper part of the head, resembling, frid being in fact a pair of jaws, but externally 'to the jaws proper, and much stronger. To these is attached by a gingly-moid . articulation, one or more moveable fangs on each side, just at the verge of the mouth, capab!e of being erected at pleasure. The fangs are very hard, sharp and crooked, like the claws of a cat, and hooked backward, with a hollow from the base to near the point. I have occasionally seen a thin slit of bone divide this hollow, making two. At their base is found a small sack, containing two or three drops of venom, which resembles thin honey. The sack is so connected with the cavity of the fang during its erection, that a slight upward pressure forces the venom into the fang at its base, and it makes its exit at a small slit or opening near the point, with considerable force ; thus it is carried to the bottom of any wound made by the fang. Unless the fangs are erected for battle, they lie concealed in the upper part of the mouth, sunk be tween the external and internal jaw-bones, somewhat like a pen knife blade shut up - in its handle, where they are covered by a fold of membrane, which encloses them like a sheath ; thiS is the vagina dentin.-- " There can be no doubt that these fangs are frequently broken off or shed, as the head grows broader, to make room for new ones nearer the verge of the mouth; for, within the vagina deptis of a very large crotalus horridus, I found no less than five fangs on each side—in all stages of formation—the smallest in a half pulpy or cartilaginous state, the,next something haider, the third still more perfect, and so on to the main, wellset, perfect fang. Each of these teeth had a well defined cavity, like the main j one. Three fangs on each side were fre quently found in copper heads, vipers, and others. , The process of robbing serpents of their venom is easily accomplished by the aid of chloroform, a few drops of which stupifies them. If, while they are under its influ ence, they are carefully seized by the neck and the vagina dentis held out of the way by an assistant, with a pair of forceps, and the fang be erected and gently pressed up ward, the venom will be seen issuing from the fang, and dropping from its point. It may then be absorbed by a 'bit of sponge, or caught in a.vial, or on the point of a lancet. After robbing several serpents in this manner, they were found, after two days, to be as highly charged as ever with venom of equal intensity with that first taken. During the process of robbing severe.] species of serpents, I inoculated several small but vigorous and perfect healthy veg etables with the point of a lancet well charged with venom. The next day they, were withered and dead, looking as tho' they had been scathed with lightning. In attempting to preserve a few drops of ven om, for future experiments, in a small vial with two or three parts of alcohol, it was found in a short time to have lost its ven omous properties. But after mixing the venom with equal ammonia, or spirits tur pentine, oil of peppermint, or of cinnamon, or of cloves, or with nitric or sulphuric acid, it still seemed to act with undimin ished energy. It is best preserved, how ever, for future use by trituration with re fined sugar or sugar of milk. . . A very fine, large cotton-mouth snake, being captured by putting a shoe-string around him, became excessively ferocious, striking at even the crack of a small riding whip. Finding himself a prisoner, with out hope of escape, lie turned his deadly weapons on his own body, striking repeat edly ids well charged fangs deeply into his flesh. Notwithstanding this, he was put in a small basket and carried forward. In one hour after he was found dead, and no amount of irritation could excite the least indication of life. Four hours after, while removing the skin, for preser vatipn, the blood oozed slowly from the vessels in a dissolved state. No violence was done to his snakeship, except what he did himself. • Another moccasin, shot by a pistol about two inches back of the head, and skinned immediately, gave evidence of Vitality four hours after being flayed, by Writhing the body whenever it was irritated by a seal- A large rattlesnake, beheaded instantly with a hoe, would, an hour and a half after strike at any thing that pinched its tail.— Of several persons whp were testing their firmness of nerve by trying to hold the hand steady while the serpent struck at it, not one could be found whose band would not recoil in spite of -his resolution; and one man, a great bully, by-the-by, was struck on the naked throat with considera- Lk 11,1,e by ale neatness trunk of the ser pent, and staggered back, fainted and fell, from terror. Mr. Stewart; of Mississippi, tells me he, once -witnesseda similar scene. An old hunter shot a rattlesnake's head off, and reloading his gun and standing some time, he stooped to pull off the rattles and the bloody but headless trunk of the snake struck him in the temple, and he fainted and fell down with terror. Seven venomous serpents belonging to five different species, were made to frater nize and dwell amicably in one den. A beautiful pair of long-bodied speckled snakes, known as king-snakes, found to be fangless, and consequently without venom, were duly installed as members of the fam ily. Some uneasiness was perceivable among the older members, but no attempt was made to destroy the intruders, though they might have been killed instanter.— The next morning four of the venomous serpents were found to have been destroy ed by the king-snakes, and one was still within their coil, and the remaining ones would make no effort at self-defense. A large rattlesnake seemed stupid and indif ferent to his fate. He could not be made to threaten or give utrning even with his rattles. The smallest king-snake was af terward inoculated with the poison of one of•the serpents lie had destroyed, and died -immediately after—thus evincing that they must have exercised some power beside physical force to overcome their fellow creatures. In short, the results of a great number of experiments performed with the venom of a great variety of serpents, seem to lead to the following conclusions: 1. That the venom of all serpents acts as a poison in a similar manner. • 2. That the venom of some varieties is far more active than that of others. 3. That a variety of the colluber, known as the cotton-mouth is the most, venomous serpent in Arkansas. 4. That the venom of serpents destroys all forms of organized life, vegetable as well as animal. 5. That alcohol, if brought into contact with the venom, is, to a certain extent, an antidote. 6. That serpents do possess the power of fascinating small animals, and that this power is identical with mesmerism. 7. That the blood of small animals, de stroyed by the venom of serpents, bears a close resemblance to that of animals de stroyed by lightning or hydrocyanic acid ; it loses its power of coagulation and can not be long kept from putrefaction.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Jour. WIFE LOST AS SOON AS FOUND-INCI DENT ON THE G. W. RAILROAD.-A corres pondent of the Port Huron Corarnercia communicates the following to that jour nal : At the time and place of meeting the train of cars, oftentimes amusing incidents occur. I must record one of the most lu dicrous, and at the same time awkward af fairs. In passing up to the Ingersoll sta tion, there was a great crowd of people who had escorted a couple who had been joined in the bonds of wedlock. All were pleasant as the morning sun. The bag gage had been checked for Detroit, where they were destined for their bridal trip.— The couple were seated in the cars, which only tarry a few moments, when the bride imam, at her suggestion, stepped out to get some cakes. While making change the whistle blew, and both trains started. He jumped on and passed out, and after very leisurely stowing away the cakes in his pocket, he started forward to hunt his bride. He looked all through the train without finding her, and then accosted the CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 1854. conductor as follows, in great excitement : say, captain, some of the passengers are left.' 'Can't help it, sir,' replied the con ductor. 'But,' says the bridegroom, 'I was married this morning, and my wife was aboard, and I don't see how she got out. The conductor seeing what a fix he was in, and where the mistake was, asked him where he was going, to which he re plied that he was going to Detroit. 'Well then,' says the conductor, 'you are the one' who got out. You are now going towards Niagara Falls.' 'Great God, is that so ? Well, stop the cars immediately,' says the bridegroom. 'Can't do it,' says the con ductor. We never stop for anything.' 'But' says the man, 'lam just married this morn ing, and here I am going one way and my wife the other. Was ever a man in such a fix, and the captain won't stop the cars.' know it is a bad fi.F. to be in,' says the conductor, 'but I can't help it. I know how you feel,•l have been married myself, but I must obey orders.' By this timea crowd in the cars had collected around the unfortunate man, all of whom knew the whole affair. A lantern jawed specimen of a Yankee near, hearing it all put in a word or two. Look a here, old fellow,you got to grin and bear it. I wish I could help you, as you have raised all my feelings • 'But I say,' continued he, guess she won't take any body else foie -- you when she gets to Detroit, for they don't have any of that kind.' 'That kind,' said the married man, 'what do you mean?' 'Why,' says the Yankee, 'they dont have any so ugly.' This led to a row, and the excite ment being over, I felt for my seat, and laughed for ten minutes at least.' THE PROPHET WARRIOR OF THE CAUCASUS. "God is Great ! Mahommed is his first Prophet; and Schamyl is his second."— Such is the rallying shout of. the followers of the famous Schamyl, the Twain and Sul tan of the Eastern Caucasus, who since the year 1834 has baffled the power of Russia, and now attracts the attention of the greatest nations of Europe as a worthy ally against the pretensions of the great Northern Autocrat. Schamyl is a native of Himri, in Avaria, and was born in 1797. It is said that from his earliest childhood, his silent earnest ways, intense determina tion and love. of knowledge, distingitished him among his fellows. Spactan habits and a strong will compensated the natural de fects of a delicate physical organization.— He would shut himself up for weeks in shame and rage, if defeated in the games of the youth of Daghestan; and - having once been set upon and severely wounded by a number of his rivals, the that, he brought himself to tLe.,,,;" of death rather than reveal what he con• r ed his disgrace. The following description is given of his person and manner, by Bodenstedt, in his history of "The people of the Caucasus, and their war of freedom against the Rus sians :" ocnamyt is of middle stature, has fair hair, grey eyes, overshadowed by thick, well-marked eyebrows, a regular well-form ed nose, and a small mouth. A peculiar fairnes and delicacy of skin distinguishes his countenance from that of his fellow countrymen, and his feet and hands are singularly well shaped. The apparent im movability of his arms in walkingindicates the determination of his character. His manner is noble and dignified. Perfectly master of himself, he exercises a silent in fluence over all who may come in contact with him. A stern impassivity, which is undisturbed even in moments of the great est danger, is his characteristic expression. A condemnation to death falls from his lips with the same calmness as he shows in conferring on a brave Murid the sabre of honor won in some sanguinary fight.— With traitors or other offenders, whose death he has once determined upon, he converses without manifesting a shade of angry or vengeful feeiing. He regards himself as simply the instrument in the hands of a higher power, and holds, with the Sufis, that all his thoughts and deciards are the immediate inspiration of God. His eloquence is as fiery and per suasive as his ordinary manner is calm and commanding. • "Flames sparkle from his eyes and flowers are scattered from his lips," said Bersek Bey, with whom Scha myl lived a few days after the taking of Akhulgo, when he resided for a time among the chiefs of the Dschigde and Übiche tribes, in the hope of raising the Western Caucasians against the Russians. Schamyl did not obtain his present posi tion without great difficulty. He found the people of the Caucasus much divided, and only obtained the. ascendency by the most indomitable energy and deter mined enduring courage.: To these quali ties he unites military and administrative abilities of the highest order. A writer in the April number of the Westminster Review, thus sums up his: achievements.— Of a mob of scattered tribes, divided by innumerable feuds, he has made a nation capable of the most complete unity of ac tion, and animated by one faith; and his genius as a law-giver, is as pre-eminent as his religious enthusiasm. With a strong hand he has swept away all the old bound aries of race and tribe, however consecra ed by tradition, and has completely reor ganized the country over which he rules. A stern ,and even-handed justice char acterizes all Schamyl's judgments, and he would have long since fallen a victim to the blood-fiends thus excited, but for the watchful devotion of his body-guard, the Murtosigators, who constantly surround him in•public. The guard is composed of a selection from Murids, and only the hot test enthusiasts are chosen for the post which is considered among the Caucasians to be in the highest degree honorable. The_ prophet puts the most implicit confidence in them, and they, on the other hand, re nounce every tie,' and place their lives in his hand. They live frugally, carry out the law to the 'very letter, wear peculiar insignia and receive regular pay, and a share of the spoils, In time of peace they are Schamyl's apostles, and considerable sums are placed at their disposal for the carrying out of their propaganda. They al so form an efficient police. In war they constitute the heart of Schamyl's troops and the terror of the Russians, who have never yet succeeded in taking one of them alive. Schamyl's influence has been greatly strengthened among the Caucasians by the remarkable preservation of his life on sev eral occasions when escape appeared im possible. His safety has been-ascribed to the miraculous intervention of Allah, and Schamyl hasithought it prudent not to de- stroy the conviction by making expl:na- ' bank, of the creek.

With that, stripping off his upper garments, he commanded the Murids to inflict the remaining ninety-five blows upon his own back.

Sun B On B— street, in the beautiful city of C—, there was residing, at the latest accounts, a strangely matched con nubial pair. The woman, although good looking, and possessing a skin of almost snowy whiteness, affords unmistakable evi dence that she "has not loved lightly," for her "liege lord" is a full-blooded African, as black as the Ikev. Mr. Ward, upon whose exterior we are told that charcoal would "make a white mark." It is not strange that a pair so assorted should meet with occasional "lights and shades," the most remarkable of which consist in the progeny, which it must be confessed. are "very pe culiar." There is precisely one dozen in the lot, but their, " coloring " laughs to scorn all usually received notions of " the way it is done." Instead of the two com posite colors being partially blended; as in the mulatto, six of the brood are as white their maternal parent, while the other half dozen are of the red ebony stamp. One fine morning, the whole party of young hopefuls were out ,sunning themselves, ranged in regular rows, first a darky " and then a "pale face," and so on through the whole extent. The beautiful tableati attracted the attention of a stranger, who paused for a moment, perhaps . completely overcome with minder, but more likely ab sorbed in business speculations. Advan cing to the mistress of the premis6s, he lost no time in making his errand "Madam." said he, "I will take t welve gross if you please." The woman, as might be supposed, stared and looked perplexed. "Twelve gross?" she exclaimed, after a moment's hesitation, "Wriat does the gen tleman mean?" • "I beg pardon, madam, but I took this for a wholesale chequer-board manufaCtory. I thought I observed your sign at thd door. —Ohio Statesman.

By the time winter had set in, she was a mere skeleton, but began to revive, with the cold weather. As spoil as spring arrived, hoWever, she could not be prevailed upon to eat any victuals in her father's house, but would take a piece of bread and butter, or piece of meat, and go out to the edge of the creek to eat it.— The family noticed her regularly, t,lways going precisely to the same place, Ind in variably complaining of being hungry af ter her 'return, when, if more victuals would be given her, she would againlreturn to the creek, as: they thought, to eat.
