' A Serpestt That Breaks; Iato Plecaa ai4 0opces Tog-ether Agmiai. ,', From Elt Peridns' Texas Letter. A , j ", Along the Upper Braios aha in Wes tern'Texas, where flourish the horned frojfk is the strangest snake known to nafffalists. He is sometimes called the glass-snake. He is from two to four i feet long, witii a striped back. He is Jiot j poisonous. His way of defending- himself when attacked by a powerful foe, is similar to that of the 'possum or skunk. Ipstead of fighting back he'breaks into a dozen pieces, and every piece distinct 4in itself, lies ap parantay dead'On: tbe ground. Some times the pieces are a root apart. When the foe disappears tht pieces gradually come t6gether'.'1'iinife into, one snake and crawl qff.; JThe naturalist will naturally ask if the pieces are entirely separated." I answet they are. No film or tender 'holds them together x ou can cnop ine ! grouna wicn an axe between the pieces. Mr. H. Edwards. whose post office ad4ressfisjBjQn'tgome ry. Alabama, showed me one T)f these snakes at Waco. He still has it alive, and will prv'-with' the living saake or by answering t a Jetter from'-any naturalist the accuracy of this, story. The! glass-snake which Mr. Edwards showed me had 'lost the tip of its tall. When I asked 'the owner how that happened, he said: "The snake went to pieces one dar and before it not 'to gether a- hungry 1 kingsnake; which I still have; swallowed the tail.- Mr; Edwards has several kinesnakes: Like f.hfi orA.LMriftlrA. t.hfev nro nnt rnlaAnnnJ-t still they kill the larl 'est snake in the bottoms.' They . make a spring at a large snake or; rabbit, coil instant ly around its neck and strangle it choke it to death. A kin gsnike five feet longwijl strangle a dog or a rattle snake. The only snake able to defend itself against' the - kingsnake is' the glass-snake. When the kingsnake springs at the glass-shake the glass snake breaks into pieces and its -foe might as well try to strangle a basket of clothes-pins or a pailful of sardines. e ' The Attempted AsaasBUaatlon of JTack aen. Guiteau's crime recalls to mind the attempted assassination of President J ackson, which was averted onlyt by the failure of the assassin's pistol to explode. The circumstances of that affair were about as follows : On the 30th of January, 1830, the funeral ser vices of Hon. Warren R. Davis, of South Carolina, were held injthe Capi tol, at Washington. They were attend ed by President Jackson. As he was leaving the Capitol with Secretary Woodbury and others, just as he reach ed the portico, a young painter, Richard Lawrence, standing in the crowd, pro duced a pistol from beneath the folds of his oloak, and aiming directly at the President's heart, within two and a half-Jeet of him, pulled the trigger. Thel nistol snatmed. and ouick as .thought he produced a second weapon ana snapped it also without effect. President Jackson, raising his cane, rushed upon Lawrence with the feroci ty of a tiger, exclaiming, "Let me go, gentlemen, I can defend myself." Law rence had already been knocked down and dragged, out, and was hurried off to the prison. On the examination, his iftsanlty war clearly proven. He re fused to obey his counsel, claimed to be King of England and America, and de manded of the court to kndw why it assumed to judge his case. He gave .as the reason for his deed that Jackson had caused his father, the'King of En gland, to lose money by the battle of New Orleans; and he nad asked the President for money, which being re fused, he said he had tried to kill him. If released, he said he would ask for money again and would be sure to kill the President next time if refused. All who knew him testified to his insanity, and he was confined in a nadhouse, where he lived, it is saidfor forty years after. Party feeling at the time was running high, and many persons attributed the deed to Clay, or Calhoun, Or other Pres idential aspirants. Old Hickory him self DeBeved that at first. The pistols were both percussion, and botk were discharged subsequently on being re-capped. The President's es cape was a miracle. . Jeffersen Davin'a Opinion of GeneraJw -V't .
