The Presiding Elder of the Morfreet'
boro’ district of the Virginia Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church Sooth,
which includes about a dozen coun
ties in the northeastern section of North
Carolina, tells the following remarkable
snake stor/ upon the authority ofonoof
the pious itinerants under his ecclesiasti
cal direction. There can be no doubt
of its entire truth, strange as the narra-
tive ia, and it suggests the existence of
many a mystery ie the economy of the
lower orders of creation which has llius

far eluded the most minute and search •
iug scientific investigation. When the
minister was a boy he went out one day
with his bow and arrows and ioitered
leisurely along the roadside, testing his
markmanship upon various objects. Com-,
ing to where a shallow brook. cuHed hi
the South a branch, crossed the high •
Way, he obaerved a snake, of the deadly
spcctcs'.knowg ns the moccasin, basking
in the sunlight. ^ He shot nil his arrows
nt the formidable reptile, wounding hin^
in several places, and repeated the pas
time till the snake was, to nil appear*
artce, dead. Seeing n party of colored
persons approaching at a distance, the
boy took the wounded snake in hi*
hands and laid him in a coil in the mid
dle of the path, and then hid himself in
the bushes to see what the negroes would
do when they came to the spot. In a
few moments another snake of the same
kind glided out from the thicket and
went up to his wounded fellow and ex-
* <fik'
amined him. Then darting back into
the covert be returned with some leaves
in his month, pieces of which he placed
carefully upon the wounds, making them
adhere like plasters. The apparently
dead saakc immediately began to revive,
end coon recovered his power of locomo
tion and .crawled away into the woods.

A natural roop mine has been strflek
in Elko county, Nevada. It is a remar>
kable slretum, thnt rests horizontally in
a steep bhUT'df volcanic matter which
flanks tbe eastern eade of Smith’s Creek
Valley. The etwrtum of steatite is from
three to ton Teet ia diameter. It is
easily werkod, and the fanners, cattle
men aud sheep-herders in that region
all use the natural article for washing
purposes. When the steatite is first dug
from tko stratum it:looks precisely like
immense maaeevofimottled Castile soap.
A few days ago ilAofessor Stewart, of
Virginia (Sty, •received a sample of the
•Off. prepared by a (firm in Elko, who
tiave undertaken : to introduce it. Noth
ing U added to the mineral hut a trifle
more alkali and some scenting extracts.
Its detersive qualities arc as powerful as
those of any manufactured soap.
