He was leaning againee the lee of a rug a ore, surrounded by a circle bt the 'd atore, curious both black and white says an Arkans'as ocerespondenb. HeS Was nearly,- full-blooded, tall and angular. His jeans were worn and decidedly dirty. On his head was a torn and much -faded felt hat, relic of the storras and sunehiee of many masons. His movements were awk eard and altogether he would be thought the last individual on earth to rival the fabu. Ions snake charmer's of the east. Yet etanding there in the eunshine, he gave such an exhibition as sent cold ohilla to the heart of all the epeotators. To a white man not having an inborn horror of snakes—if there be such a one—his final act was sufficient to make the flesh creep. Evidently he was no Arkansaw native. Those who were about preserve ed a respectable distance. Stooping over a small box on the ground at his side the disreputable.look. Ing charmer raised the lid and expiated his kcollection. There were three black - sna es of the species found in Pennsyl- , . vania, each so me three feet in length ; one kingenake, a mottled green serpent, neerly as large, and a snake known here as the water rattlesnake, of dark brown color, and perhape elehteen inches in length. Thin snake is said by the blacks to be very poisonous. However that may it was enough for all purpoaes. When the lid was raised there were exposed no stupid haleawake, inert earpents. Five , heads shot into view, five forked. tongues darted out, and there was a falling back of the crowd. Slowly one of the black snakes raised hinteelf out of the box and away on the round glided gracefullyd g • " Heith yo' I spoke the charmer. " War yo' goin' ? Yo' done git back yer hil " to dis e.
