' 11: Whplhcr the gubject ' this story Ac quired the appellation of "Snate":- by the ffood offices of the lenrrman who officiated at his baptism, or whether1 it was given hint by his admiring frwrKis--i- whether it was fiTferj hun for 1 any per sonal qualities he possessed or because lie was death on snakes" it is impos sible now to ascertain it is a matter 01 little moment. Bnake; Johnson la a man of considejable notoriety at Port La vacea, Texas,, where he . keeps a store with a small assortment f drv. aoods and groceries,, principally .consisting of whiskey j and, to use- his own , words, makes a decent and respectable living. Snake is a man, of small pretensions, and honestly avows that " he wasn't brouglit up no ways superior to most lolks, and ain't no account at aleebrvj but knows as well as most folks that when he gives ten dollars for a barrel of ' whiskfey, .and retails it out for eighty, he can't be a lo sin' much." There is, nothing remarka ble about the appearance of Mr. John eon. He is tall, round-shouldered, pow erfully built ; has got a long, sharp nose, piercing grey eyes, a hard mouth, and a good many lines on his face that indicate courage and cunning. In his district he is looked up to as a pretty sort of a chap, and has held the office of sheriff , While sitting on the head of an emp ty whiskey barrel a short time since in his shop at the . Port, surrounded, by, a number of neighbors, steamboats-men, recruits, cVc, the subject of, his haying been sheriff of the county was brought Snake took out his plug of tobacco, cut off a small piece, put it intp his mouth, shut up his jack-knife, and said : " Did I ever tell you, gentlemen, about my actur in my official capacity as sher- in 01 tnis ere county soon alter 1 was elected r.'.. ' ( . ,t w. (: " No ! no V exclaimed a dozen voices, "let's have it." "Well, gentlemen," said Snake, I won 1 De ugiy, an' as 1 aon t trunk any on ye hev heerd it afore, I don't mind re- latin' the circumstance ! You all on you knowi an those that don't will know it now, that I allers act right up to the mark and don't do nothm' contrary to law, to say nothin' o' gospel." " Oh, we know ! we know !" was the general exclamation " Well, then, that pint's settled, and. I'm glad on it, coz I shouldn't like to hev a fight at the first start, an' I should hev sartinly licked the first feller that sed he didn't know it Well' to contin ue, soon artcr Pd been lected sheriff, I was a sitttin' out thar unto the door step, thinkrn' it was about time td her a job, when two chaps came a ridin' down the road as ef a hull tribe of Injuns was a rearm' and pitchin' arter 'em. They charged right up to the door and axed me if I knowed the sheriff. I told 'em I bed seen him once't or twice't They wanted to know whar they could find himan I told 'em I reckoned he was a sittin on his door step. u Oh V sed they, " be you Snake Johnson r I told 'era I reckoned I was the oTdy man o' ,that name in these parts, an' was sheriff nf the county to boot Well, they got off an' passed a small sample of old bald face behind their s,hirt collars, an' sed they'd come to get me to execute the scn tence of the law. Well, gentlemen, ses I, Fm perfectly agreeable ! I'm allers on hand, and as sheriff of this county win see that his majesty the law shall be o beyed according to Hoyle !

I crossed over to the feller, an' ses I, ' ray tnend, you're m a mighty tight snap but I don't want to hang you on til you've been tried.' He begged like a skunk, arf hugged my knees, an' made me feel as mean as pizen-r-I wanted to f jck mm ngnt over. w ell,' says I, ' gentlemen, one thing is earthy I must know the feelings of all on you; ton! the lener snajj iiave . his chancav , lVow all on you as is in favor of hanging this chap, crossover to t other. side V the road. Well, they all walked over but a small, ugly lookin' yaller dog, who was lyin' down, but finally he got up an' crossed over too; . It seems to be pretty nigh unanimous,7 ses I, an' I turns to the feller an' ses, 1 I'm afraid you'll have to swing, but Til try agin' for I was deter mined not to go agin the law. 1 All you as is in favor o' hangin' this man, sing out aye,' ses I, an' they all burst into one spontaneous cry, an' even the dog sot up a bark. ' All you as is agin hangin , sing out,' ses I : but nobody didn't say no, except the prisoner, an' he hadn't no right to vote, 'cordin to Jefferson Man ual.'' ,i ,;V M What did you do then ?" inquired one of Johnson's auditors. "I'm a comin' to that, sir. I teched the culprit on the shoulder, an' he i ind o7 quiyered all over when I did it . Ses I' my friend, I expect it'sall over, but well just walk down heie a piece, un. del this live oak, an' scttlthe matter. So we walked along and the hull crowd follered on 'till we got under the tree. Some feller had made a slipper noose in one eend o' tAo rope, an 1 put it round the cuss's rtffk an' hove tho other eend over a big limb. I see I was in a tight snap, for 1 know d if i refused to hang him, thuy would hang him an' me too, perhaps, so I dttennined to get out on it the best way I could. Everythin' was as still as a grave yard, nobody said a word, an' you couldn't hear a breath ol uoise." "Well, what did you do?" asked ji- listener. "What!" said Johnson.

He was troubled with a wonderful pain in bis chest and araazin weakness in the spine ot his back, besides the pleuris sy in his side, and having the ager con siderable part of the time, and bcin broke of his rest d nights cause he was so put. to 't for breath when laid down. Why, its an onaccauntable fact that when that man died he, hadent seen a well day in fifteen year, though when we was married and for five or six years after, I shouklent desire to see a rugged er man than he was. But the time I'm speakin of he'd been out o" health nigh upon ten year, and O dear sakes ! how he had altered since the first time I ever see him I That was at a quiltin to Squire Smith's spell afore Sally was married. Td no idee then that Sal Smith I wa a gwine to bo married to Sam Pen dergrass. She'd been keepin company with Mose Ilewlitt, for betler'n a yar. ana every body said that was a settled wing, aud io and behold r aJJ of a Bud ding she up and took Sam Pcndcrgrass. Well, that was the first tune I ever see my husband, and if any body'd a told me then that I should ever marry him, should a said but lawful sakes ! I most forgot I was gwbje to tell you what he said to me that even in, and wlin a body begins to tell a thing I believe in finishin on I some time or other. Some folks has a way of talkin round and round and round forevermorp, and nnver comin to the pint. Now there s Miss Jenkins, she that was Poll Bingham after she was married, she is the tejuscst indivi dooal to tell a story that ever I see in all my born days. But I was a gwine to tell you what husband said. lie says to me, says he " Silly," says I " what?" 1 dident say "What, Hezekier V for I dident like his name. Tlie first time I ever heard it I uear killed myself a laffin. " Hezekier Bedott, says I, " well, I would give up if I had such a name," but then you know I had no more idee, of marry in the feller than you have this minit o' marry in the governor. I spose you think it curus we should a named our oldest son Hezekier. Well, we done it to please father, and mother Bedott; it's father Be don's name, and he and mother Bedott both used.to think that names had ought to go down from gineratkwi togincration. But we always call him Kier, he is a blessin, aint he ? and I aint the only one that thinks so, I guess. Now dont you never tell nobody that I said so, but between you and me I rather guess that if Kezier Winkle thinks she is a gwine to ketch Kicr Bedott she is a teeth out of her reckonin. But I was going to tell what husband Said. He says to me says he, "Silly," I says, says I, "What?" If I dident say " what " when he said Silly," he'd a kept on saying . Silly from time to eternity ; he always did, because, you know he wanted me to pay pertickeler attention, and I generally did ; no woman was ever more attcntyve to her husband than what : I wai Well, he sayS to me says hc uIy.
