Af bits, squirrels, birds, etc., the an imals in many instances being as large in circumference as the snake it»rlf. Again, they are able lo live several months without eat ing; some stip|M>sc two feeds a year is sufficient for them. 1 need not mention several other well known peculiarities. Naturalists say “llieir normal temperature ia several degiees be B low that of other vertebrated ani mals. and although they are pos sessed of five senses, none of them are in a high degre* of dev«lo|»- ment." Of the poisonous snakes, tbe one most familiarly known is the one person who has been in the trying situation. The peculiarities of the rattle snake’s mouth, besides the relaxed condition of its jaws, already men tioned, are as follows: They have two fangs, one on each side of the upperiaw. The fang has no eon neclion with the jaw bone, and it’s root is embedded in a little sar about the size of a pea. When the mouth is shut the tang lays backward in the groove between neither did the squirrel escape up the tree as is usual. Alter watch ing the strange scene some time, kc struck the snake and away went the squirrel. Or thus: a rat tlesoake was fouml in tbe act of spreading mucous over a squirrel, preparatory to swallowing it The little animal lay as if dead, hul ob tbe snake’s being struck, up. and away, went the squirrel as in the first instance. Now, these, and similar narrations from person* ol the lip and jaw. Wlicp it’s mouth voracity, make it difficult for me to doubt, especially when backed by tbe fact that they cannot over take their prey by speed, since their greatest sjieed is about like that of a child’s walk ; and chance would hardly throw iu their way even the small amount necessary for subsistence, since they are in stinctively avoided hy almost all animals. So, if I were asked in a court of justice the question, “Can snakes charm or fascinate their prey?’’ I should answer, “To the best of my knowledge and belief, they can.” I further belirvp, that this power is peculiar lo the rat tlesnake, and can only be exercis ed on its prey. Ground rattlesnakes are plenti ful in the southern part of this Slate, and is similar lo the one already described, so far as venom and rattles arc concerned, and is the moat spiteful snake common lo this country. It will bile un der any and all circumstances, ami will strike even at a noise made near it. They are found from 12 to 20 iocbea in length, and are so nearly tbe color of the grouud, that It ia difficult to see; hence its name. The rattlesnake's pilot is a lar k e and venomous reptile, but not so large as the rattlesnake, which it very much resembles in color, but is devoid of the rattles. It is said that these two kinds of snakes in habit the same abode, and that the rattlesnakes are piloted by the pilot whea they are blind, which they are said lo be. in the iallcr part of summer. The only evidence I have of ray own know! edge of this strange piloting is the following: One of these snakes was killed while attempting to cress a gentleman's yard in Co lumhia county. Ga. The gentle man told the luiys who killed it to be on tbe lookout, for a rattle snake would loliew it within twenty four hours, and so true was the prediction, that a rattle snake waa killed so nearly in the wake nf the pilot, as to convince all that it was following the pilot. CHATTER IL Since I wish to distinguish the next snske to be described, from those already mentioned anil to adduce positive evidence of its belonging to the poisonous class, I shall begin Chapter 11 with a description of it. Thia snaKe is common lo all parts of Georgia, and perhaps, all the Southern Stales, and ia generally known among the country |>eople aa the "garter snake.” Nothing is said of thia reptile in any of the natu ral histories 1 have consulted. The only mention of it I have ever seen in print ia found in a work on surgery by Prof. S. D. Gross. This distinguished author pro aouncea it poisonous. It is in that work called the potato snake. This is a small snake. The larg est one I ever saw did not exceed two feet in length. It is marked with alternate black and red rings around its liody, froia head to tail. It seldom, periidjis, never bites, nnless trodden on or other wise hurt, and in consequence of iu indisposition to bite, ia due the common opinion that it is harmless; but wbat I know about this snake corroborates the state ment of Prof Gross. While the 5th G«, Regiment wis encamped at Pensacola dur ing the.war. private Green, of the Cuthbert Rifles, found near the camp, one of these snakes, and under the impressiun that it was harmless, caught it and put it in the breast pocket of his shirt, snd after amusing himself, getting msny of his own company to put llieir hands in the pocket to feel wliat a curious thing he bad found in the woods, he carried it to the Captain of the Clinch Rifles, who was making a collection of snakes He placed it on the ground near the Captain’s tent, where shod quite a number of both companies gathered around. One of the Clinch Kiflles, while handling the snake hurt it, and it bit him on the hand. “Look Captain, said he, the little fellow is trying to hite.” And placing his hand near it again it bit him a second time. The bites proved fatal, and but few of those two companies that remain have even ycl forgotten the melancholy fate of poor Whiling, lor whom everything was done that could be done, but all iu vain. A cat whicb was in the habit of catching snakes, pounced on a garter snake, anil although she killed it, she was bitten during the struggle, and died in less than eight hours. Several remedies were used, but without benefit. 1 was informed by a comrade of Mr. Whiting that the parts bitten swelled but little. The same ab sence of swelling was observed in the case of the cat also. I infer from these cases that the poison of this snake differs from that of llie rattlesnake, because from the bite of the latter the parts always swell greatly and rapidly. I wish to slate before conclud ing this part of my subject, that the description of the rattlesnake’s mouth given above is the result of actual dissection, and so far as it goes, is perfectly correct. CHAPTER III. In telling what I have about the garter snake, is the principal mo tire that prompted the writing of these Chapters, for I fell it a duty to warn ail, but particularly those who hare hitherto considered this snake harmless, that it is far oth erwise. More than this, the rem edies which hare proved nf value in the bile of the rattlesnake and others alluded to, arc of littlf or no value in this. Mr. Whiling was treated with every appliance at hand. The cat also had the advantage of several of the best domestic remedies us ually applied, but as has been seen, they proved useless, so if there is a snake for whose bite no antidote is as yet known, it is the garter, or potato snake. Iu treating these accidents, promptness ia the application of remedies it of the first importance. Tbe first thing to be done is to tie a bandage so tightly.above the wound as to completely ent off tbe circulation. The second is, wash tbe wounded part well with water, then with some form of alcoholic- liquor, then apply tincture of io dine well to t*e parts where the fangs entered and (or two inches around it. While this is being done, two large tablcspoonsful of some form of alcoholic liquor should be administered in a little water. This is for an adult. For children, dimiuish the dose ac cording to age. This quantity should be given every twenty min ules until a slight feeling of in loxicalioD is induced. After that 'just enough should be given from lime to time as will sustain that effi-ct, for it should be remember ed that snake bitten persons have been killed by the loo free admin-' istration of liquor. As soon as the effects of the liquor is induced the bandage may be removed. Re apply the tincture of iodine every 3 hours until three appli cations have been made. The liquor may be dispensed with in twenty four hours, or as soon as it can be safely done. In case any )>erson is bitten * medical man should be in atten dance as soon as possible, and to him should be left the use of ar senic, per manganale of polassa, the hypodermic syringe, ammobia, and the use of cups. The Washington Star says that au ol<l woodman of Australia, who used lo catch snakes for pastime claims that a raw onion bruised aud applied as soon ns possible to the bitten part is a certain cure for the bile of all venomous rep tiles in that country except the death adder, for which he admits there is no remedy. An Oregon physician gives tbe following: “Stir in the yolk of an egg as much salt as will spread a plaster and apply it Lo the wound. Do this when bitten and I will in sure yeur life for a six pence.’’ Dr. Whitman, in a communica tion from which this is condensed, says he has used tincture of io dine with complete success. He applies it lo the part as far as the swelling exteads. Three applica tions suffice. -. Dr. Hyder made inquiry through the medical journals for the best treatment for these injuries, and received the following reply: “We use the carbonate of ammonia, split the skin where the fangs en tered, insert the ammonia. Also give from fifteen to twenty grainn every hear dissolved in water, and you will have ho further trou ble.” From another source be ie- ceivcd the following: “Tbe doc tor will find the seed of the bless- : ed thistle a prompt and unerring antidote in neutralizing the effect# of the poison of all reptiles. Give three seed bruised every ten mic- utes in sweet milk until relief is obtained. In most cases nine seed will relieve all apprehension.” There is a plant belonging to- the thistle family common to the wiregrass section, which has the reputation of curing snake bites, and known by llie name of snake's teeth. I think this and lbeblc-»- ed thistle the same plant. * Renews Her Tsntb. Mrs. Phoelie Chcsley. Peterson; Clay Co.. Iowa, tells the follow ing remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched fur by the resi dents of the town: “1 am 73 years old, have been troubled with kid ney complaint and lameness for -manv years; could not dress myself without help.
