DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN; COLUMBUS, GEORGIA THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1886. FIRST IN AMERICA. A Cttthollr Colored l'rleet Sir* III. I'lr.t Mr Hi SI. lleiiedlet'N. New York. Nkw York, July 12.—For » long tinn the colored Catholics of this city have been waiting to hear inasH celebrated by a pries; of their race, and yesterday their wishes tvere gratified at the Church of St. Bene dict the Moor, at the corner of Bleekcr and Downing streets. It was announced that the services would begin at 11 a. in, but long before that time every seat in the church was filled. Colored people, old and young, came from all parts of th- city. The Rev. Augustus Talton, the first and only colored Catholic priest in this country, celebrated mass, assisted by the Rev. Father Burke, pastor of the church and Rev. Father Burtsnll. When the colored priest appeared all •eyes were turned toward him and his even action was watched. He was perfectly at ease and made a few remarks in an elo quent manner. He sang the mass in a powerful voice thnt filled the whole church. He is a fine looking man, nearly six feet in height,and has the typical heau and face of his race. He was born in Runs county, Missouri, in 1854. His father and mother were slaves, and he was born in serfdom. His early life during those dark days was one of hardship and suffering. At night, when others were at rest, he picked up what learning lie could from such stray hooks as came in his possession. In 1860, he with his mother and father es- caped and went to Quincy, 111., where, in 18f)l, they obtained their freedofn. Au gustus obtained work in a tobacco factory, and after working all day would spend a greater part of the night in his studies, in 1879 he announced his intention to Father Michael, the principal of St. Francis Col lege, of studying for the priesthood. Father Michael was pleased, and wrote to the vicar general of the Roman Catholic church at Rome. The vicar replied, and in an interesting letter said: ‘‘Augustus Talton is accepted in the Propaganda col lege.” This was happy news to Talton, and February 15, 1880, he left Quincy, where, in addition to his studies, he had become a teacher of the catechism in a Catholic Sunday school, and went to Rome, •entering the Propaganda college March 12, 1880. His studies there were character ized by earnestness and exceptional in dustry. Two years was spent in the study of philosophy and four years in the study of theology. On the 24th of last April ho was •ordained by Cardinal Paroechi, who ad vised him to meet his first congregation in this city. Father Talton arrived here last Tuesday and at once went to see his old Father Corrigan. He appeared in 1 Father Corrigan’s church at mass several times last week. “It is, of course, gratifying to me to know that I am the first of my race to be an ordained Catholic priest of this coun try,” he said to your reporter yesterday. “I have no doubt, however, thgt in a few years there will be many of us. I sincerely hope so. There is a young man, James Purcell, now studying in the propaganda with the in tention of becoming a priest in this coun try. He is a native of Jamaica, West In dies. I shall probably say mass at Father Corrigan’s church to-morrow morning,and shall most likely leave on Tuesday for Quincy, my old home,where I shall preach next Sunday and shall have a parish. This afternoon I attended the church of the Epiphany, at Second avenue and Twenty- first street, with Father Burke. The kind ness with which I was received this morn ing is very encouraging.” SPIDERS KILL A SNAKE. . riicy lUny Him l p»nd feed l'poll Him, On the evening of the 13th inst. a gen tleman found in his wine cellar a live striped snake, nine inches long, suspended Between two shelves by the tail, by spider’s web. The snake hung so that his hegd could not reach the shelf below him by an inch, and several large spiders were then upon him sucking his juices. The shelves were about two ieet apart, and the lower one was just below the bottom of the cellar window, through which the snake probably passed into it. From the shelf above it there was a web in the shape of an inverted cone, eight or ten inches in diameter at the top, and concen trated to a focus, about six or eight inches from the underside of this shelf. From this focus there was a strong cord made of the multiplied threads of the spider’s web, .apparently as large as common sewing silk., and by this cord the snake was sus pended. Upon a critical examination through a magnifying glass the following curious | facts appeared: The mouth of the snake 1 was fast tied up by a great number of threads, wound around it so tight that he could not put out his tongue. His tail was tied in a knot so as to leave a small loop or ring through which the cord was fastened, •and the end of the tail above this loop to •the length of something over half an inch was lushed fast to the cord to keep it from slipping. As the snake hung the length of the cord from his tail to the focus to which it was fastened was about six inches, and a little above the tail there was observed a round ball about the size of a pea. Upon inspec tion this appeared to i>e a green fly, around which the cord had been wound as the windlass with which the snake had been hauled up, and a great number of threads were fastened to the cord above and to the roiling side of this ball to keep it from un winding and letting the snake down. The cord, therefore, must have been ex tended from the focus of the web to the shelf below, where the snake was lying when first captured, and being made fast to the loop iu his tail, the fly was carried and fastened about midway to the side of the cord. And then by rolling this fly over and over it wound the cord around it, both from above and below it, until the snake was raised to the proper height, and then was fastened as above men tioned. In this situation the suffering snake hung, alive, and furnished a con tinual feast for several large spiders until Saturday forenoon, the 16th, when some persons, by playing with him, broke the web above the focus so as to lei part of his body rest on the shelf below. In this situ ation he lingered, the spiders taking no notice of him, until Thursday lastr-eiglit days after he was discovered—when some large ants were found devouring his “dead body.”—Spirit of the Times. TREACHERY. .V Cutiiolle Uriel Who Was Wifil Marshall \r,v - i Complex Prisoner ol’ the Prussians anil the French. j The Jibing men who were with Ney at | the time of his treachery to Napoleon are | few. The following extract from an inter- j view with Rev. Father Neyrou which ap peared in the Chicago Tribune will be of interest: “Were you witii Nev’s army when lie turned it over to Napoleon?” “I was. and I well remember the day that Key’s ae.t of treachery took place. Key’s and the straggling army of Napoleon met at Oloe bridge, better known at tiie time as thefbridge of the Holy Ghost. Kiuioleon’ army was encamped a few miles from the bridge opposite our lines. The morning after our encumpment we saw some flags of truce in advance of Napoleon’s army, and it was then that the men began to sifepeet Ney’s plans, but the suspicions were not even whispered. Soon the flags disap peared, and Ney gave orders to prepare tor an attack, and marched on to the bridge. When we reached the opposite side of the bridge we noticed obout a dozen men advancing from Napoleon’s srmy on horseback bearing flags of truce. Ohrjrmy’ which, all told, did not exceed 10,000 men, come to a holt. The men on horseback advanced, and the centre one e group piovtd to be Napoleon him self. At sight of him Ney and his staff' dismounted. Napoleon also dismounted, and was warmly embraced by Ney and his ifneers. Of course a shout in honor ol Napoleon went, up from our ranks. Well, history lrns recorded the rest. We were lorced to combine with Napoleon’s army of boys between the ages of 18 and 20 yearn and go on to Waterloo and defeat,” “Were you taken prisoner at Water loo?” “Yes, although I might have escaped had J not stopped m my flight to attend to tin wounds ot an officer to whom I was much attached, Gen. rupuno. As I was dashing along on my horse, dodging a storm of luu- lets, I saw the general stretched upon the ground, bleeding from a fatal wound in the shoulder. 1 dismounted to dress the wound, and while 1 was doing so a squad of Prussians came upon me and captured me. They stripped me of nearly all my clothing and what money I had and turned me over to the English army, where there was a lack of surgeons, nearly all the English sur geons having deserted their posts. Gen. Lorton was the commander of the divis ion to which 1 was assigned, and 1 was treated by him and his army with the utmost kindness and gentlemanly courtesy. The general allowed me a stipend and put none of the usual restrictions of prisoners of war upon me. When I was taken to Paris by the English I found myself a com plex prisoner, so to speak.I was aprisoh-er of LouisJX VIlJ, because I wi s in Key’s d - sorting army, and a prisoner of the Eng lish because I was fighting them. How ever, the French minister of war knew that I was with Napoleon against my will, and he forthwith assigned me to duty as surgeon-in-chief to the First regiment of artillery. I went to report this assign inent to the English general, and he posi tively refused to surrender me. He said, with a good-natured laugh : ‘No, Neyron, you are our prisoner, and we need prison ers of your profession badly just now. Therefore I will change the programme. I hereby order you sent to minister to the surgical wants of the army at Calais and Dunkirk.’ It is needless to' say that the order was carried out. In fact I never saw the French minister of war again. The English allowed me double pay from the time of my involuntary assignment nntil I was discharged as a prisoner.” The) Were .lonrnnlNts. Conversations between two Texas jour nalists: “Haven’t seen you for the last two days. Have you been indisposed ?” “No, it’s my washwoman who is indis posed.” “Is she very sick?” “She is not sick at all.
