A Snake and Jug Story.
The Colonel was at his best, and
in one of his happiest tn <ods.
lie had just lighted a fresh cigar
leaning back in his easy chair
thus addressed the tAtar :
“I read your lish storv, last week
think it was quite remarkable
th.it fish got iu the jug and
up in it, aiul then iiow the
t . nl i em . n who was fishing should
dap pci icd to just drop his
down into the mouth of Hie
so die fish could get hold of it ”
“But it reminds me, however, ot
adventure or experience I li,.d
with a snake, when I was a boy,
and was living with uiy lather, up
in 13!:.uk county, Ga.
It was harvest time, and my
father was having his wheat cut
with cradles, in the old fa-hiontd
way.
As I was not old enough to assist
in cutting ttie wheat, it was made
my duty to carry water to the men
who were using the cradles.
I used a large jug lor this pur- j
pose and, when the men had fin¬
ished drinking, I sat the jug in the
shade and wad died them cut the
wheat.
When I returned tor the jug I
found an immense snake coiled
about the handle so 1 could not get
it. I screamed for help, and the
men soon came to my assistance.
The snake was killed, but it was
found to be last in the jug handle
so tight that we could not get it
out, until we cut tire snake in two.
Now, as to how it came lo be
fastened in the jug handle, it hap
pened in this way :
The snake had caught a frog and
swallowed it, and was quietly tak
; iiig liis rest in the shade, wli<*n
another frog came jumping along I !
and, seeing the sn tUVv h:d himself I
behind the jug. and started
The snake raised up :
crawl the jug, after the 1
to over
frog, but got his head through the
i ian( jle. The frog he had swallow
ed raade i d3 body too large to pass
through, but he v, :as able to catch
the other frog in his mouth and
where his 1
swallowed it down to
neck passed through tne jug han
die! This made his neck too large
for him to draw his head out, and i
so he was held fast in the jug ban
die by the two frogs lie had swal- j
lowed for his mid-day meal !
Since that dav, I tell you, I have
never drank a drop ot anything out
of a jug, and I don’t think I e\e.

A Bunch ®f Garden Seed.
To _ Senator _ Clay and Congress- „
„ Lewis make , our , best , bow
tnan we
for , kind , remembrances , . the , shape ,
in
, garden , seed—Macon , ,, County _
ot
Citizen.
And so it is ! We puff ’em till
they’re landed in their place,
With lots of uppish notions, but
with very little grace,
And when they get to thinking of
the many things we need.
Tbev send us down to Georgia—
just a batch of garden seed !
We talked about their virtues
when that articles was rare,
We talked about their knowledge
when they had’nt that to spare;
We talked about their record—how
they fought a party’s greed—
And they hope to settle matters
with a bunch of garden seed !
We talkedabout their morals,’bout
their eloquence and wit,
’Bout their charity and kindness
and their honesty and grit ;
W’e talked about their goodness—
how they loved the holy creed
And they hope to square the busi
ness with a bunch uf garden seed!
Now, if we told the story of their
wickedness and vice.
They would’nt get elected to their
chosen places—twice—
For they got tlieie by jur aiding
at a bit uneasy speed,
Then tried lo square us fellows with
a bunch of garden seed !
—Ernest Camp, in Wiregrass Blade
The plovboy now is coin
At a lively, merry, gait,
The days are lookin’ spring-like,
(Go, Billy, dig the bait!
The only survivor of the Mount
Peele disaster is said to be in New
York. We wonder if t he gentle¬
man wasn’t originally from At¬
lanta, says an exchange.
