A SNAKE CHARMER.
A DISGUSTING EXHIBITION GIVEN
BY A COLORED PERFORMER.
A Sljht "Which Sent Cold Chills to the
Hearts of All tlio Spectators?A Box
of Hideous Itoptlles Under Wonderful
Control.
"You'll breed the chills 1 Come along with
me!"
The remark needed no peremptory tone to
enforce obedience. To one who has seen a
real live, genuine Arkansas chill in operation
the suggestion alone is sufficient. So down
came a pair of feet from their elevated place
above the head of the owner, the pipe was
pocketed, and the morning sun bath on the
piazza was abandoned. Pleasant as they aro
sun batlis in this state breed chills, aud once
bred heaven guard the possessor! Much
might. l>e said of them. They stand without
a rival; long ago they reached the acme of
'Pl.^ lanrlc r?f Atlior ?rv?

tions may flo their best, may toil and strive
and rack their victims as they will, but when
it conies right down to shaking marrow out
of bones, loosening teeth and nails, and then
calmly introducing a fever besido which tho
interior of a coke oven seems Siberia?why,
then, .Arkansas chills have a walk-over for
the Derby. No sun baths here.
' Let us go and see the snake charmer," said
the native. "Arkansas produces the snakes,
Mississippi the negro."
No need to question the first statement. If
there is any species of snake not common in
Arkansas he is yet to be heard from. They
are everywhere, of all kinds and sizes, of all
degrees of venom. In the bayous they may
bo seen anywhere by hundreds and thousands.
On the prairie they lurk under every shrub
and bush. In the forests they are numberless.
Not a mile from here in a little pony bayou,
may be seen enough snakes any day to stock
all the museums in the country, with a few
car >cku!s over for export. It's not considered
much of a place for snakes, either, but a
fairly good fishing ground, where catfish
reach a live-pound notch, and game lush are
occasionally taken. 'When the long-legged
native, however, spoko of a colored snakecharmer,
this was something worth looking
Into.
A DRAMATIC EFFECT.
Not having any acquaintance with the
blacks of Mississippi I could not question his
word, but that any negro would handle a
snal*> seemed incredible. Arkansas blacks
will kill them?if their poles are long enough.
But to touch one?never. To produce a dramatic
effect in a crowd of blacks, young or
old, male or female, introduce ever so small a
snake unexjjectedly. There will bo ono wild
whoop, eyes will bulge out in terror, jaws
will fall like a trap door, there will be a
vision of vanishing legs and ankles?then the
experimenter is sadly alone.
All this as we stroll uo to investigate the
"Mississippi charmer." The wonder proved a
reality. lie was leaning against the leo of a
drug store, surrounded by a circle of the
curious both black and white. Ho 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 storms and sunshine of many seasons.
His movements were awkward, and
altogether he would bo thought the last individual
on earth to rival the fabulous snake
charmers of the east. Yet, standing there in
the sunshine, he gave such an exhibition as
sent cold chills to the hearts of all the spectators.
To a white man not having an inborn
horror of snakes?if there be such a one?his
iinal act was sufficient to make the flesh creep.
Evidently he was no Arkansas native. Those
who were about him preserved a respcctful
distance.
Stooping over a small box on the ground ut
his side tbo disreputable-looking charmer
raised the lid and exposed hi* collection.
There were three black snails of the spccies
found in Pennsylvania, each some three feet
in length; ono king snake, a mottled green
?. serjxnit nearly as large, and a snake known
here as the water rattlesnake, of dark brown
color ami perhaps eighteen inches in length.
This snake is said l?y the blacks to be very
poisonous. However that may be, it was
enough for all purposes. When the lid was
raised there were exposed no stupid, halfawako,
inert serpents. Five heads shot into
view, live forked tongues darted out, and
and there was a falling back of the crowd.
Slowly one of the black suakes raised himself
out of the box and glided gracefully away on
fie ground.
'Heah yo'!" spoke the charmer. "War you
goin'{ Yo' done git Kick ycr to dis chile."
UNDER PERFECT CONTROL.
At this word the snake stopped, wheeled
around, approached his captor and coiled up
his leg and about his body. The other snakes,
excepting the smallest, came out of the box
at the word and followed the first. All over
Ka.1v fKnv fln?l?innr tluoV
tongues darting l>aek and forth continuously.
Thoy twined about las nock, rested 011 his
shoulders, hung about Ills amis, and but for
erect heads and constantly playing tongues
seemed perfectly at home. One by one they
would be put on the ground and start away
only to stop at the word. Hung over the box
they would maintain one position nutil told
to move. They seemed under perfect control
and for nearly half an hour entertained and
horrified the rapidly growing circle of spectators.
Then the Mississippian put away the
big fellows aud took out the water rattlesnake.
It was his linal act. There were no
words of introduction, no mumbling invocations
or notices that at the conclusion of the
entertainment the hat would be passed. IIo
talked to tbe snakes as ho might to children,
petting and abusiug.
The new snake was a decidedly lively one,
11 foot and a half long, as said, and of good
thickness. It was as wido awake as any of
its predecessors?more vicious in appearance,
if anything. It diil all that thoy did, then
coiled on the fellow's shoulder. He took it in
his 1 innds, and?Great Scott!?deliberately
crowded it into his mouth. It was a capacious
mouth. By the sido of it even Billy
iversanus priuo wouui t>e mrown into
shadow. Tho lips closed, and the ungainly
black apparently masticated the serpent,
while the crowd stood awed by disgust and
horror. Slowly his hps opened, as when 0110
exhales tlio smoke of u choice cigar. Quick
ps a Hash tho snake's hesul shot out, its tongue
a darting flame, its eyes gleaming wickedly.
It gradually pushed its body into sight, slipping
down on the black's shoulder, and coiled
a.s if to strike; then, at the word, returned to
.the 1k>x. The effect of such an unnatural exhibition
was startling in the extreme?revolting
beyond description.
"I solenmly swear," said an Indiana gentleman,
ns lie turned away, "if I had a gun
I'd shoot that negro in a second."
' It takes a Mississippi negro to do the like
of that," calmly observed tho native, as ho
shied a dime into the battered hat, now in
active circulation.
4iFo' God," exclaimed tho charmer, when a
question was raised as to the venomous character
of the last snake, "yo'go fetch yo1 dawg,
yo' iul?. I let um bite, an' ef dat yer dawg
uen't plumb stun ded in a hour, 1 gives yo'
dis yer box o1 sarpents, I does."
As to the secret of training the snakes?and
well trained they were?Hie Alississippian was
obstinately dumb. And no dog lining
brought, ho went his way.?Brinldey (Ark.)

fr?m that time till now carrlcd on successfully by
myself. My friends and customers will bear witness =
iiK of the large and stupendous lobs executed by me. It

job of Its class ever uxccnted in this city was done
" viz: the makine of the pipes for the City Water

POUNDING, I can say that I Imve made tlic largest
'? 111 bells ever cast In the State, such as the bell for the |
n Cltv Hull In Columbia. \
?* My stock of patterns for ARCHITECTURAL
. WORK COLUMNS fur Store fronts, Is large and
and various, and in RAILINGS for Balconies, Gardens,
and Cemeteries I have the larjest variety and most
q modem patterns; many of these are patented and I
have purchased the right for this state.
"i,ri<> In the machine line I can furnish my pntr.'ms with A
?7,', STEAM ENGINES and BOILKRS of any size and f
q description. Wy CIRCULAR SAW MILLS have |
* parried off the prize at ev- ry State Fair held in this
city, and in their construction I have taken pains to
j ' combine simplicity with the most useful modern Improvements,
nnd may flatter myself that my CIRCUO
LAR SAW MILLS find.favor with every'sawyer who
* understands his business.
. c, The many orders I am steadily receiving for SU'
GAR CANE MILLS prove that the public appreciate 'n
the mills of my make, and an it is with my GEARu
ING fur IIORSE POWERS. GIN WHEELS, GRIST
~ MILLS and other MACHINERY.
, I have the manufactures Hsht of many PATENTS
"nU such as castings for ROCK COTTON AND HA V
u* PRESS and three or four different FEED CUTTB8
and other Implements.
I will be pleased to send my circulars to any applicant,
together with price list or estlinnte. My prices
are moderate, and 1 asstiro the public that they are
lower than those of Northern manufactures, and that
my work will compare favorably with that ol any other
maker. Addr.es
