I had been recommeded to stop over night in a certain locality with a mountain family named Casco, and I reached the place one after noon to find quite an excitement. t was a hamlet of seven or eight . 1 1 1 . nouses and a cnurcn aim a siore, and that day the people had received word that an evangelist was to ar rive and organize a revival. His name was given as Carter, but no one could place him, nor had 1 met such a man on my travels. He ar rived about dark, and he came to Casco's to stop. He was a tall, gaunt, yellow-haired young man of about twenty-live. He was loose in his joints, had a lop to his left shoulder, and chewed -a plug like an old brindled cow munching car rots. The term "onery" just fitted him. Three or four neighbors had drop ped in, and when the evangelist ar rived with a big satchel there was a general throwing up of hands in wonderment. "Durn my skin, but what ar' yo' doin' yere, Jim Wasson?" exclaimed Casco, as the evangelist entered the Jipuse. ServiirtiirLilwd, naybor, servin' the Lawd," was the humble ply- "But yo' ain't named Carter!" "When I got a change o' heart I changed my name. I ve cum down to wrassle fur the Lawd, and to lead yo'uns in paths yo' hev not trod." Look-a-yere, Jim Wasson!' said Mrs. Casco, as she came forward, "yous don't pretend that yo'has got over being onery and .become fitten?" "I'm now a-leadin' sintuhubi n the right path, Mrs. Casco." "Dog-gone it, Jim, but I can t nigcrer to tnati exciauneu one 01 the men. "You's alius been so pisen mean that it would take more than fo'ty Bibles to work a change. Why you's stole hogs right in this town!" "But bless the Lawd, I've repent ed and been forgiven?" replied Jim. "And he's stole sheep up at the forks!" piped an old lady in the background. "Yes, I was a wicked man," an swered Jim, "but the Lawd he dun made me see how bad I was, and then I changed. I've cum down to lead yo' uns up the uarrer path to the better laud above." "Jim Wasson, yo1 haiut fitten toclo it!" said Casco, with great emphasis. "The Lawd never picked out no such onery cuss as yo' ar' to revive us up. You's been stealin', lyin', cheatin' an' play in' low down till the Lawd wouldn't send yo' out to sing to skunks!" "Doan' yo' uns believe he sent me?" asked Jim as he looked around. "No !" answered a chorus of voices. "And ain't I fitten to revive yo' up?" "No!" "And can't 1 be fitten?" "No!"' "Well, then, my dearly beloved brothers and sisters," continued Jjm, as he untied the rope which secured the satchel, "I'll hev a snack to eat, and then I'll offer yo' pills, liver medicine, consumption cure, pitch-plasters, ager remedy and play in' keerds, and at the lowest prices ever heard of on this hill-side. I was a-tryin' to co-mingle relijun an' these 'ere things together, but if I hain't fitten 011 relijun we'll let that drop and go the whole hog on patent medicines." When I was ready to leave at noon the next day he had sold all out and was going my way to stock up again. Reptiles in Jamaica. The conger eel, says a traveler, is both voracious and venomous in its bite; it is from five to seven feet in length, and of proportionate thickness; it may well be termed a sea snake, for in its head, eyes, and teeth it resembles that reptile. It attacks persons in the water, and though the wound is seldom deep, it is exceedingly difficult to cure.. There are three species of snakes in Jamaica, viz., the yellow, the black and the brown. None of these are venomous in their bite, at least, to a serious degree. Instances have happened of negroes having "lieen bitten by them without suffering any other consequences than a. tem porary pain, inflammation and swell ing, and sometimes a slight degree of fever, to remove which all that is necessary is a fomentation of the part with sweet oil or warm linie juice, and extracting the tooth of the animal if it has been left in the flesh. It is alleged by some that the bite of the brown snake is mortal, but no instance has happened of its having produced death. Some of the yellow snakes are 1892. from ten to twelve feet long, but the general length is from six to eight feet. This animal is at times exceedingly indolent and inoffen sive. When gorged with its period ical quantum of food, and when coiled up and reposing itself, it will permit a person to come up and touch it without making an effort to move. Nay, some of the negroes have the boldness to stand upon them for a short times, while in this supine state. They have a strange notion that this operation is a sover eign remedy for the bone-ache, a painful disease to which they are subject. The animal, under the pain of this extraordinary pressure, writhes itself around and soon dis lodges the intruder, but without any active exertion of resentment, and, on the removal of the annoyance, it reconi poses itself to rest; but when hungry and in search of prey, and during the season of repairing, it is more active and irascible, but partic ularly at the latter time, when it is not very safe to disturb it. The strength of the animal is in credible. The united exertions of four or five able-bodied negroes can not draw one or large size irom a place where it has got any hold. There is something in the very sight of a oiiake revolting to all other animals. We are startled if one unexpectedly comes in our' wavj though we may be aware that there is no danger in his bite; horses and oxen start if they see one near them, and dogs baric at them, but care fully keep aloof when they are in an attitude of defense. The black snake, when assailed by a dog, gen eraliy 'uw ..Vi'i'ves, by which means the terriers, who " 'ome in view of them without showing their antipathy, very frequently be come blind. The domestie cat is terrified at the sight of the small snake and will not face it, though the wild cat, more fierce and daring, will probably not shun the encoun ter. A gentleman, a surveyor by profession, in traversing the woods one day, found the skeleton of snake entwined about that of a cat They had probably been fighting, and perished together in the conflict. He Wouldn't Talk. There is. a story about a certain society belle which is too good to keep. She is as intelligent as she is pretty, has a remarkably amiable disposition and presides over the re ligious destinies of a Sunday schoo class. But she is rather to be pitied than blamed. Among her admirers is or rather was a young man who has a mod erate share of good looks, a pleas ing bank account, fine family con nections and an aptitude for busi ness, which makes him invaluable to ins urm. liut socially he is a dead failure. Well he called one night last week; he will never, nev er darken those stately doors ogain She did her best poor girl to en tertain him. She sang everything she knew from Italian opera to negro melodies. She talked of art literature, music, society gossip, the postoflice site, politics, and was falling back upon that absurd topic the weather, when, to her unspeak able relief, her brother and sister came to the resqup. But they, too failed to enthuse this strange young man, who regards the "world a stage and all men and women merely players" for his special amusement. Eleven o'clock r. m. approached, but he made no move doorward. The exhausted girl, in sheer desperation, branched off to theosophy. Still that irritating silence, while he sat regarding her with owlish eyes that stared and stared. Then a wild look crept into her dove-like orbs. Her hitherto gen tle countenance slowly assumed an expression of ferocity. She arose and advancing toward the paralyzed young man seized him by the shoul ders, shook himr violently and ex claimed in a voice unrecognizable from its frenzy: "Why the duce don't you talk?" The Leather of the Egyptians. The ancient Egyptians were skill ed in-the art of tanning leather and manufactured it in various ways and for various purposes besides that of covering for the feet. In deed, it is to those builders of the pyramids, that we are indebted for the first artistic forms of foot-wear, and so far as can be ascertained from history and the researches of archrol ogists the Egyptians were the first shoemakers worthy of the name. . It is a fact, too, that' tanners of to-day employ very much the same methods as did the ancients. About the same materials arc used and the WHOLE NO. 1081. processes are almost precisely sinii- ar to those in vogue hundreds of ears ago. It is true that tanneis of the present day have found means of greatly shortening the time required to convert a hide into eather and the steam power and modern machinery have done much to expedite and improve the proses- ses of finishing the leather; but, after all, the principles of tanning remain the same as they have been from the first. New York Adver tiser. The Old Woman Remedy. 'In reading a newspaper." said a man, speaking to an acquaintance, "we sometimes come across a simple remedy that we find to be of great benefit. The old woman remedv ad mits of no explanation, and the doc tors hoot at it, but it is sometimes found to bo of great efficacy. "I'll give you an instance: About three weeks ago I saw a paragraph stating that a handful of cold water applied to the back of the head every morning will prevent toothache. Of course I couldn't see any reason why it should, but I began to try it and haven't had the toothache since that time." "That is really quite remarkable," the acquaintance replied. "But tell me, did you have the toothache before you tried the remedy?" -"Well, come to think of it. didn't. Kuuinii, I thought ther was something incomplete fioout .1 . . . . . 1 L it." Arkansaw Traveler. A certain minister was preaching a sermon on the prodigal son. He took as his text, "And when he came to himself." "We have here brothren," said he, "an instance of the wonderful depth of the meaning there is in Scripture. We see how low the unprincipled young individ ual had fallen. 'When he came to himself.' What does it mean? Well, look at home. What do we do when our money is gone, and we have no credit? What do we turn to? The pawn shop. So did he. First his coat would go. He might live a week on that. Then his waistcoat. That wouldn't servo him long. Lastly, his shirt would follow; and ah! then, my friends, 'he came to himself,' and so went home to his father."
