Police Testimony.
fl R. StF.VE?:r, F.rq.
iJrnr Sir,— during tho past five years I have had
ample opportunity to judjre of the merits of Vkoe-
TINE. My wiie hns used it for complaint* attending
a lady of delicate liealth, with more beneficial resume
than anything else which she ever tried. 1 have
given it to my children under almost every circum
stance attending a large family, and always with
marked benefit. I lmve taken it myself with such
great benefit that I cannot find words to express my
unqualified appreciation of its goodness.
While performing my duties as a Police Officer in
this city, it has been iny lotto fall in with a great
deal of sickness. I unhesitatingly recommend Veo-
ETIN'E, and I never knew of a < ase where it did not
prove all that was claimed for it. Particularly in
cases of a debilitated or impoverished state of the
blood its effects are really wonderful; and for all
complaints arising from an impure state of the blood
it appears to work like a charm, and 1 do not believe
there ure any circumstances under which Veoetine
can be used with injurious results, and it will always
afford me pleasure to give any further information
as to what 1 know about Veoetine.

The editoral department will be conduct

but at the same time, with vigorous and
earnest devotion to the interests of our sec
tion, a.id to the principles of the National
Democratic Party. Its State, General and
Telegraphic news departments, and its I.o*
cal and Commercial columns will be kept up
to their old standard of completeness and
reliability, and improvements made when
ever thev mav suggest themselves. In a
word, the MORNING NEWS will eompr.se
every feature that renders the newspaper ot
to-dav attractive, and its patrons may con
fidently look to its pages tor the latest infor
mation in regard to current events. Yield
ing to no livairy in its own proper held, it
will allow no competitor to outs.rip it in
journalistic enterprise.

Can Snakes Charm.
T'”om the Foreatanil Stream.
That thqreis a power of xascinatinn,
charming, perltaps mesmerism, pos
sessed by snakes is to me a fact, al
though it is a snake story, still I
write what I know.
Snakes cun charm—they can fasci
nate ; of that 1 have had experience
At tlm ge of about eighteen, in the
•own of Lynne, Ccnneticur, where I
was brought up, my father had a
shad fishery on the Connetieut river.
One morningm April I was sent to
carry fish to my sister, about two
miles distant. Part of the way there
I took a wood road through a rocky
and bushy place, where the timber
had been cut. Carrying the fish on
a little stick on my shoulder, my at
tention was arrested by hearing a
rattling in the dry leaves a rod or
more from mo. Stopping, I looked and
saw a large black snake, (Coluber
constrictor) five or six feet in length.
Some two or three inches of the tail
was in rapid vibration or quivering,
which made the noise by rattling in
dry ieavos. I had 6een small striped
snakes do something like it. I stood
arid looked at i* with my stick on my
shouldor, not conscious efany danger,
having seen and killed of such snakes
perhaps hundreds. In a few mo
ments the vtorafion was so rapid that
I could only sen it without any form.
It was like a 6plint or straw in a
strong wind, fastened at one end, so
rapid was its motion. Soon after
looking at it the vibrating portion be
gan to show all the prismatic colors
with such beauty of combination that
no language can describe it. Seem
ingly, they went through a million of
combinations and mingling of colors,
changes and re-combinations with
every tint of shade, instantly. I stood
enchanted at the most beautiful sight
I ever behold, unconscious of danger !
Did I say enchanted? Charmed fas
cinated !
There I stood lost in ecstacy, with
out ir.ution how long I do not know.
My eyes at first seemed a tittle blur
ed or dimmed, Thore was a pleasant
dizzy sensation to my forehead.
Ttio fits: I knew I felt myself
falling: to (he ground. The partial
fall frightened me, and saving the
fall it turned my eyes from the snake.
I felt dizzy, eyes blurred, muscle and
nerves unsteady. In n.y fright at my
condition 1 went for that snake with
my staff. llj stood ground, and rais
ed two feet or more at me with forked
tongue. I struck without hitting, sev
eral times. The snake ran, stopped,
raised up at me again. I made sev
eral strokes, but could rot hit him,
although he raised right up in front
of me. He ran again, and raised his
head with forked tongue almost in
my taco. At last, the third attack I
hit him, and than killed him. Bifore j
geftiug through the woods I heard
ano .her rattling oi leaves, but I did
not look up.
1 made experiments with four oth
ers of the same kind ot snakes the;
same sum Bier —none less than fi.e to
six feet in length, I had learned to
look only a few moments at a time
after the first adventure. As soon as
the prismatic colors began to appear!
beautiful 1 turned my eyes. The last I
one attempted to charm me, I called |
two of nty brothers who were near. 1
YVe all witnessed the snake’s mode, j
one at a time. To first nrrest the eye
they raitle'the leaves to make a noise
You tun* and look, and instantly the
tail begins a rapid vibration, that de
stroys distinct appearanceof Bny f'otm.
Soon the colors begin to appear and
commingle so beautifully that you
have no desire to look away or turn
your eyes. The longer ycu look tho
more beautiful they becom*-, and tho
more you desire to look at them. YVe I
looked at the snake alternately, and
then would turn eacU othor away !
YVhen we all looked away he stopped, j
Let any of us move, he rattled the :
leaves; if we looked at him, he he- j
gan to charm till we looked off. He
knew'instantly when we turned our
eyes from him.
Our experiment continued half an ,
hour, until we were well and fully
satisfied of snake s power to fascinate,
and their mode. I have tried to give
as clear nn idea of the fact as I can.
But no description can be given to
Lejeomprehended—it must be seen |rtie
mode I give, the tail is used, and not
the eyes.
From the Mobile Register.
The writer of the foregoing article
DAW SOX, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER o. 1878.
has, in all probability, drawn upon
his own imagination with a somewhat
liberal baud, yet we must own up
that wo are by no means prepared to
take the position that snakes have net
the power of exercising the effects of
vital magnetism upon the smaller ani
mal’s atlea-t. Many prominent scien
tific men have gone strongly against
any such notion, and we cheerfully
swallowed everything they said in
that direction until some seven
ago, when we saw something that
rather shook our faith despite all that
we had adopted from the scientists. —
On passing through a lane iu the
northern portion of Mobile county
our attention was attracted to a large
coach-whip snake lying between the
rails of the fence and flopping about
in an unaccountable manner. Pretty
soon we discovered that a large rat
was in some way mixed up in the per
formance. As we drew nearer the
better to observe what was going on,
the snake took fright and ran off to
another location some fifty feet away,
aud to our surprise the rat followed
at a kind of shambling gait, making
all the time a strange sort of chirping
noise and apparently tracking the
route the snake had taken by the
sense of smell alone, as a dog tracks a
deer. So soon as the rat Lad found
the snake in its new location it leaped
upon it and rolled about over it in a
fondling kind of way, exhibiting not
the slightest warlike disposition, nor
did the snake exhibit any disposition
to harm the rat.
VVe watched this strange perfor
mance for fully fifteen minutes, when
the snaka took new fright at our ef
forts to get nearer and ran entirely
away. The rat attempted to loliow
the trail as before, but soon lost it,
after which it went chirping about
here and there apparently in tha
greatest distress. It seemed to be
entirely crazed, taking not the slight
est notice of us —we walked up to it
and killed it with our cane.
Tiis is all we know on the subject.
While we do not pretend to hold that
the snake in this case magnetized
the rat, wo can safely assure all con
cerned that tliore was something bore
which we could not at all understand.
The Editor.
Exchange: Amidst the varied av
ocations of life none perhaps hear a
weightier respcnsibiliry than that
of tbo editor. If he feels the impor
tance of hi t position and has regard
for the future welfare of hia country,
and the hapinss of his countrymen
it h realizes the ftet that error must
necessarily lead to cortuption, while
truth will pmify, uplift set free and
make strong, the tone and temper
of I)is teaching must necessarily be
resolute, positive, and bold. Pander
ing to vices and catering to prejudices,
to tbe neglect or sacrifice of princi
pel, is not to be thought of for a mo
ment Neutrality upon living issues
wherein his reader’s interest aro at
stake, to him, would seem the gross
est of moral cowardice. If ho is
worthy of responsible trust, he will
patiently ami heroica'y cleave to and
inculcate such principles, as in his
very soul, he believes to be for the
lasting good of his readers. That all
will at once appreciate the devotion of
such -one, it would De unreasonable
to expect. But that the great mas 9
of those for whom be writes will feej
tho impress of his teaching, none can
doubt.
Mark This, Boys.
“Did you ever kuow a man who j
grew rich, by lraud, continue success
ful through life, and leave a fortune
at death ?”
This question was put to a gentle
man who had been in business forty
years. After teflecting a while he re
plied :
“Not one. I have seen many men
become rich as if by magis, and win
golden opinions, when 60me little
things led to an exposure of their
fraud and they have fallen into dis
graco and ruin. Arson,perjuty rnut
der and suicide are common crimes
with those who make haste to get
rich, regardless of the means.
Boys stick a pin here. You will
60on be men and begin to act like
those who make money. YY'rite this
good man’s testimony in your tniuds
and with it put this word of God.
“He that hasteneth to bo rich hath
an evil eye.Jatid considereth not that
poverty shall come upon hior.”
Beautiful Hands.
Asa young friend was standing
with us noticing the people on the
sidewalk, a very stylish lady pissed.
‘ What beautiful hands Miss hs!
oxclaimod our friend.
“Whacmakes them beautiful.”
“Why, they are smuil, white, soft,
and exquisitively shaped.”
“Is that all that coastituf.es the
beauty of the hand ?—is not some
thing more to be included in your
catalogue of beauty, which you have
not mentioned, to make the hand de
sirable ?”
“What more would you have?
“Are they charitable hands? Ilavo
they ever fed the poor ? II *ve they
ever carried the necessities of life to
the widow aud the orphan? Has their
soft touch ever smoothed the irrita
tion of sickness and the agonies of
pain ? Do the poor bless those rosy
tipried fingeis as their wants nre sup
plied by them ?
“Are they useful hands? Have
they been taught that the world is
not a playground or a theatre of dis
play, or a more lounging place ? Do
these delicate hands over labor ? Are
they ever employed about 'he domes
tic duties of life —the homely, ordinary
employments of the household? Or
does the owner leave all that to her
mother, while she nurses her delicate
hands in idleness?
“Arethey modest hands? Wi'l they
perlorm their charities or their duties
without vanity? Or do they pander
to the pride of their owner by their
delicacy and beauty? Djos true
think mote of thoil display than the
improvements of her mind anti char
acter, and the salvation of her soul?
“-Are they humble hands? Will their
ownei extend them to grasp tho hand
of that old school fellow who sat at
the same desk with her and on the
recitation bench, but who now mii3t
earn her living by her labor? Or will
they remain concealed in their exclus
iveness, in her aristocratic muff, as sho
r.weepsby hor former companion?-?
“Aro ilioy holy hands? Aro they
ever clasped in prayer, or elevated in
praye.? Does she remember the
God who has made her to differ from
so many o’her girls, and devote her
mind, nor heart, her bands to His
service? Does sho try to imitate the
Savior by going about doing good?
Or aro her hands too delicuto, too
beautiful to bo employed iu good
works? These are the qualities that
make a baud beautiful.”— Guardian
Angel.

with these pasts could easily get ridjof
them by gathering a good supply of
