Ob Ihe Venom of Serpents. Tho following is by S. Gilman, L. U. 1)., published in tho sl. Louis uM«I --ico-' naif and is certainly the most j interesting article we ever read on the bubket : ; | “Tnqre is uiiieli in the history and I habits of the reptile tribes, however , repulsive they may be in appearance, that is very interesting. Luring a so journ of tweror three months in the interior cl' Arkansas, which appears to me to be the paradise of reptiles, I paid some attention to that branch of nisloVycalled, opliiology. I found four jHiistinct varieties of rattlesnakes, cro- Wtalus)-' of which the Crotalus Hor» ridu- and Grotalus Kirthmdii are by far the trios} numerous. The former is the largest serpent in North Amer ica. The' family of moccasin snakes (Golhtbrr) is also quite numerous, ther<! being not less than ten varieties, most of which being quite as venom ous its tile rattlesnake. By dissecting ..great turnibers of different species, 1 learned that the anatomical structure of the poisoning apparatus is similar in all the different varieties of venorn ouss rpents. Fi consists of a strong irafr*nvork of bouo, with its appro priate’ muscles in the upp-r part of the Bead, rcso mbling, and being in fact a paiig of jaws, but externally to the jaws proper, and much stronger. To the.-e isattached by a giuglymokl ar ticulation, one or more movable fangs on each side, just at thy verge of the mouth, capable of being erected at i pleasure. These fangs are very hard, i sharp and crooked, with a hollow from the base to near the point. .1 have oc casionally seen a thin slit bene, divide this* hollow, making two. At their i base is found a small sack containing | two or three drops of venom, which resembles thin honey. The sack is so connected with the eavitv of the fang during its erection, that a slight up ward pressure forces the venom into the fang at its base, and it makes its exit, at a slit or opening near the point! with considerable force ; thus it is car ried to the bottom of any wound made bv the fang. Unless the fangs*are erected for battle, they lie concealed in the upper part of the mouth, sunk between the external and internal jaw bo'nes. somewhat like a pen-knife blade shut, ui* in its handle, where they are covered by a fold of membrane, which eiiclos u them like, a sheath—this is the vagina druid. There can be no doubt that these fangs are fr< quently broken off or s!md as the head grows broad er, to make room for new ones nearer the verge of the mouth: for, within the vagina dentis of a very large cro talus horridus, I found no less than live tangs on each side—in all stages of lorin - tint; —the smallest in half pul py or cartilaginous state, the next something harder, the third still more perfect, and so on to the main, well set. perfect fang. • Each of these teeth has a well defined cavity, like the main one. Three hangs on each side wefe frequently found in copper-heads, vipers, and others. The process of robbing serpents of their venom is easily accomplished by the aid of chloroform, a lew drops of which stupefies them. If, while they are un r its influence, they are eare fullv seized by the : ■ ek, and the vag ina a- niis held out of the way by an assistant, with a pair of forceps, and the fang erected and gently pressed upward, the venom will be seen issu ing from the fang, and dropping from its point. It may then be absorbed be a bit of sponge, or caught- in a vial, or on the point of a lancet. After rob bing several serpents in this manner, they were found, after two days, to be as highly charged as ever with venom of equal intensity with that first taken. During the process of robbing sev eral? Sj ice is o serpent..-, I innoeulated several small but vigorous and»per- 1 fectly healthy vegetables with the! point of a lancet well charged with venom. The next day they were with ered and dead, looking as though they had been scathed with lightning. In attempting to preserve a few drops of venom, for future experiments, in a small vial with two or three parts ul- j coho!, it was found in a short time to ' have lost its venomous properties.— But after mixing the venom with aqua . ammonia, or spirits of turpentine, or! oil ojf peppermint, or of cinnamon, or' of clove-, or with nitric or sulphuric acid,"it: till seemed to act with undi imnisked energy, ft is best preserved, however, for future use by trituration with rdiued sugar orugar of milk. Avery fine large cotton-mouth make, being captured by putting a shoe-string a round him, became exces sively leroci <>us, tifiring at, even the crack of a anvil rtdingwhip. Find ing himself a prisoner, without hope of escape, he turned his deadly weap ons bn his own body striking repeated ly hi- well-charged fangs deeply into ids llcsh. Notwithstanding this, he was put into a small basket, and carried forward. In one hour alter, lie was found dead, and no amount of irrita tion could excite the least indication of life. A largo, rattlesnake, beheaded in stant l_y v/i h a hue, would an hour and a half after, {••trike 'at anything that pinched his tail. Os fa veral persons who were testing their firmness of j nerve By trying to hold the hand steady while the Serpent .struck at it, notonc-eoubl ho fbund whose hand would not recall in sphe of Ids reso lution ; and <>ne man a great bully, bv-the-bv, Vas struck on th'fe naked throat wnil con ;iderablc force by the headless tniiik of the serpent, and staggered 1/Sffek, (anted and fell, from terror. ... Seven .venomous Serpents belonging to five different species, were made to fraternise and dwelt amicably in one den. A bea.idjgil. pair of long-bodied speckled.snak^kfiown as king-snakes, known to,be fangless, and consequent' |y without Yeifonn were daily instat ed as if the llunily. Some -.-a .a. , , .-== = uneasiness, was perceivable among fire older members, but hlr attempt was made to destroy the intruders —though they might have been killed install ter. The next morning four of the venom ous serpents were found to have been destroyed,by the king-snakek and one was within their coil, and the two re maining ones would make no effort at seta’ defence. A large rattlesnake seemed stupid and indifferent to his fate. He could not be made to threat en or give warning even with his rat tles. The smallest king-snake was af terwards innoeulated with the poison of one of the serpents he had destroy ed, and died immediately after —thus evincing that they must have exercis ed some power besides physical t ree to overcome their fellow creatures. In short, the result of a greater number of experiments performed with the venc/m on a great variety of ser pents, seem to lead to the following conclusions: 1. That the venom of all serpents acts as a poison in a similar manner. 2. That the venom of some varie ties* is far more active than that of others. 3. That a variety of the col labor, known as the cotton mouth, is the most venomous serpent in Arkansas. 4. That the venom of serpents de stroy all forms of organized life, veg etable ns well as animal. b. That alcohol, if brought in con tact with the venom, is, to a certain ex tent, an antidote. 6. That serpents do possess the power of fascinating small animals, and that this power is identical with mesmerism. 7. That the blood of small animals, destroyed by the venom of serpents, bears a close resemblance to that of animals destroyed by lightning or hy drocyanic acid; it loses its power of coagulation and cannot be long kept from putrefaction.” The Advertiser. “Well, I don’t know if I advertise whether I shall be any the better for it. I doubt it it pays.” This was the reply of a merchant when asked why iie did not advertise his business. The man who advertises not only lets the public know what he has for sale, and what particular business lie is engaged in, but he lets them know also by tins very act that lie takes a pride and de light in bis business. The customers say at once, give me the man that takes a delight in his occupation. For ' 1 expect to be well served by him; it being not only his interest but his pleasure, as well as pride. This is a view of the ease which many overlook. Who are the men that prosper in busi ness? And who are the men that advertise most? The answer to these two questions will settle the point for ever. In answer to the first we reply that the nothern man and the foreign er are almost always suecesslul in busi ness at the South. They know the se cret and the necessity of advertising, so the second we reply that the North ern man and foreigner, as a general rule, advertise double as much as our own native merchants. Tins latter point can be easily decided'’ by exam ining a paper from any part of the south; and it will be seen at a glance that the large proportion of names arc foreign appended to advertisements. That there is truth in wlnit we, and other proprietors of public journals, arc some what prone to say and reaffirm, let the reader look at one of the ad vertisements of patent medicines in our paper. The proprietors pay from S2O to S3O and S4O, and often more*, depending upon the length of the adver tisement, (we have given the lowest instead of the highest figures.) for then yearly insertion. Many of these may be found in almost every paper of the Union. And the sums paid yearly by these advertisers, many of our readers would consider a handsome compe tence, not to say fortune. No one will suppose this amount of advertising is a gratuity on the part of publishers’. The conclusion is inevitable, that ad vertising pays handsomely in every case, with one exception. That excep tion is where the business is so small and trifling and meager in its profits as to be unworthy of publicity. Just the case of the merchant whom we once heard say that h® “ had nothing worth advertising.” In all such cases wo would advise the party not to give any more publicity to his business than he could possibly help. \\ r e have one further remark to make. That is that* we are strong believers in reciprocity, and expect to patronize those who pa tronize us. Verb am sat.—Central Geor gian. A dispatch from Albany, dated the Ist inst., says that charges of official misconduct have been preferred against Thomas Kirkpatrick, the present State- Prison Inspector, and that they will probably be referred to the Commis sion now investigating charges of a similar nature against the inspectors, Clark and Storms. The celebrated preacher Howland Hill was, very fond of mending old clocks. Once at a friend’s lie had re tired, as the company supposed, be fore preaching, to consider his sermon ; but on his host’s entering the room to inform him that the time had ar rived for going to the place of worship lie found him with an old clock all to pieces bn the t ble. Mr. llill said to ldm, “ I have been mending your clock, and I will finish it to-morrow.” He preached with more than usual case and fervor, and drew several beau tiful images from the occupation in which his friend to his surprise had found him engaged. He rode a great deal and by exercise preserved vigorous health. On one occasion, when asked by a medical frien l what physician and apothecary he employed, to be always so well, he I replica : j “My physician has always been a ! horsy arid my apothecary an <w/'* S‘qjal -Aoiicrturmenb.

The Hydninugen is in the form 1 of a sole, and worn inside tiie boot orslioe. Its med icated cnaracter is a pow erful nntiuote to nescase. For Gentlemen it will be found agreeable, wurin, and healthy, to wear in the coldest or rainiest w eath er, as the foot cannot become wet if the llydrvinugvw is inserted. Ladies may wear the lightest solt-d boots or shoes in the most inclement weather with impuni ty ; while Consumption, so prevalent among the young of our country, may be thwarted by their gen end adoption. They entirely euptreede oc<r-,eht**, as the hitter cause the loot to perspire in a very unheal thy maimer; and besides, are u<>t dangerous wear to pedestrians in icy weather, like inoia rublx-rs.— While the lfttter cause the feet to appear extremely large, the Ilydroniagcu, being a hr it-thin:.ice of cork prepared peculiarly, placed insiue, does not in crease the size oft he boot, or cause the foot to appear untidy.
