The alligator Is an oviparous bird. Ho
b amphibious and carnivorous also, and if
there is anything else that is curious, ho is
that, too. I never beard one sing, bu‘ if I
Uve long enough I expect to find the man
Who has.
I know the alligator lays eggs, for my
old friend Chap yesterday told tnoall about
on adventure lie hnd, when a boy, In rob

On earth that has not been invaded and
raided by a boy, it ifl because the bov, for
that locality, has not yet been born. It is
true that the time when my old friend was
A boy reaches so far back into the misty
past that the recollection of the oldest in
habitant Is somewhat beclouded on the oc
currences of that period. But when it
Comes to ’gators, it mattors not about
time, for if they have over changed their
political tactics or modified their
religious creeds or altered . their domestic
habits in any way,then the lively chronicler
of such events--recently imported from
the bogs and everglades of south Florida,
and who is regarded in this locality as
standard authority on bears and ’gators,
and skeeters and old settlers, little niggers
and such like things—has failed to inform
the reading public; hence we conclude,
•‘That as was the ’gator in days of yore, so
Is the ’gator now,” Darwinianism to the
contrary notwithstanding. So, if ’gators
made their little nests and laid them full
of eggs at the period when my old friend
was a hoy, they are still engaged in that
Interesting domestic pastime.
My old friend began his narrative by
saying that ho once lived in a ’gator
country. Now, the ’gator has a
country. Unlike drummers and repor
ters, and other migratory and predatory
birds, the gator has a country of his own.
Ho does not belong to the ubiquitous tribe.
Ho never goes away from home to Reo
what other folks aro doing. He don’t go
to the mountains in the Rummer time, and
he don’t hunt for the north pole. If a
man hankers after ’gator society, ho must
Ko to the ’(tutor’s homo. In fact. If the
’(fator could be induced to leave his oo/.v
habitations and take up his abode in a
civilized section and wash the sun baked
mud from his bark and comb bis hair and
put on a clean shirt and purge the malaria
out of his system—as tough as his const itu-
tion is said to be—his ’gatorship couldn’t
stand it. The only thing that can survive
such radical changes and flourish is u
Florida pencil pusher.
My old friend proceeded to say that on a
hot summer day. while engaged in eagerly
hunting for birds’ nests and in chasing liz-
sa.'ds, lie, nil at once, realized ttiat. he was
nearly famished with thirst, and hurriedly
wending his way to a large spring was
just in the aet of assuming a devotional at
titude over its brink when he discovered a
monstrous ’gator iying motionless some six
feeet under the water, and the innocent
creature was gazing right up at him with a
yearning, hungry look, lie suddenly for
got his thirst, and in the confusion which
ensued lie didn’t even think to say, “Good
bye, Mr. ’Gator, but took his leave at once
and didn’t stand on the order of his going.
I havo observed that boys and horses have
one trait of resemblance in com
mon between them, and that
is that when once frightened and
fairly started, they are both rather reck
less in their movements. Just how far
Chap would havo run must ever remain
within the realm of conjecture; but, meet
Ing old African Joe, who was on his iisuul
round of visiting his llsh baskets, Chap’s
courage returned sufficiently l'or him to
relate to his eager listener the main fea
tures of his adventure. Old Joe showed
how readily ho comprehended the situa
tion by exclaiming: "Dur, now, I bet
dat gator’s watchin’ hoes nest. I gwine
rite ilar now, slio, aud And dat gator’s
nest.”
Tlie idea of linding a ’gator’s nest, and
that too in company with old Joe, caused
an instant revulsion in Chap's feelings,
and though, b jt a moment before, he was
pale and paralyzed with fear, yet now, he
felt that lie could face, not only the
mother 'gator but a whole brood of moc
casins besides. Historians record instances
of the rauid revulsion of feeling in panic
strickon troops, upon the sudden appear
ance in their midst of some favorite leader,
and that then, becomingushumed of their
former fears, would move ou to deeds of
unnatural daring. So, ou the route back,
our then young but now aged hero,
led tho way far in ad
vance of old Joe, and when
the spring was reached, they cautiously
peered over its edges and saw the gator
■till quietly waiting his chance to form ac
quaintance with some unlucky boy or dog
while engaged in the act of slaking their
thirst out of the waters of the big spring.
His gotorship was left to continue the
waiting business, while Joe and Chap be
wail search for the nest, which was soon
found—old Joe’s experience in that line
greatly facilitating the search.
In describing the nest, Chap said that it
was a cone-shaped mound of mud. that the
gator, in constructing it, first laid a number
of eggs in a circular layer on the ground,
and then on tho top of these
was placed another layer of eggs and so
on, having each successive layer smaller
In eircumiereneo than the one below until
the apex was finished. This egg mound
was then covered with dog fennel, after
the fashion that farmers cover their pota
to hills with a laver of hay and corn stalks
Over the whole, was a thick coating • f
mud, nicely pressed aud smoothed. The
eggs were about the size ol' a goose egg,
having a hard, thick shell.

that they have not had time to familiarize

coming obnoxious even to the judicial
