A SNAKE STORY.

A friend has sent us the particulars of a
snake story, which has in il considerable OF
the marvellous.
As a flatboat man and his son were re-
Gently descending the Tallahalchie in their
fiat, they discovered, near Locopolis landing
u large ratllesnake essaying TO cross the riv-
err. They got the "vaFminl" alive, and con
trived to put him into a temporary cage,
with aperiures in ii, though which father and
son could look OH and admire The windings
and ringligs of his snake ship.
Shortly after having confined The snake,
they cought a ground mole, an animal about
the size of a mouse, which has habilatiOn
and travels under ground. To test the We
racity of the snake and to experiment upon
his soclabllIaly al the same time. they ihursl
the mole into his quarters. As Mons. Adrian,
the conjurer, used TO say when he would
make the gold watch disappear from the
sight of his audience,it might be said of the
mole-"By gar, he was here-he was not
here-he was not any placet" The fact
was he no sooner came within the influence
OF the jaws of the ratllesnake, than, rafting
his tail with delight, he gulphed him down
wholei The ~IIoosier father said it was Il
"shabby trick to swallow the mole, without
even a che~in' on himi-he'd be cussed, if
he'd treat his tobacco that mean" The sou
~laconically remaked-"Sarved him right."-
But while they were dispullng about the JUS
tice of The aci, the mole was not idie-he
was littely boreing of scratching his way
through The snakes belly, which in good time
he accomplished, and boiled out, as ii uncon-
scious Of having performed a feat of some
consequence. But again the snake took
him in, and again he made his way out as
before! A third time the snake swallowed
him, and a third time did he effect his iiber-
alton, at least from the elise quarters which
he must have had in the sn1ke's inner apart
Eents The snake, from the operations per
formed on his sides, became exhausted; and
as refinement has modernized the verb ste
die" he actually ''deceased."
The Hoosiers, both father and son, swore
or at least affirmed, that the mole was a crit
Ter of The best grit they had ever seen, an,
would, when they got home, run him at The
-"bar.'
If nothing else, there is a moral TO thi
story for it proves the truth of the old saw
that the ''baltle is not always 10 the strong.
since here we see that mole not only SCOTCH
The snake but killed it.-N. o. Pic.

OF The Democratic papers declare that
the election of Robert Dial Owen TO Congress,
is the greatest blessing that has ever been
conferred on the western country. We look
upon that event in any other light. We con-
slider it a black and Infamous curse to any
community, to be represented in an honora-
BILE and important assembly, by such a loatll-
ing, abominable ana outrageously infamous
politician.
What a curiosity is l~ocofoco consistency and
honesty. Last summer these same honest

DIAMONDS OF BRAZlL.-A letter

DIAMONDS OF BRAZIL.-A letter OF
July 3lst from P%ernambuco says
"ln Bahia business seems more healthy
than at any other point of the coast. The
diamond mines in that vicinity prove very
productive, and large sums of money flow
hilher in exchange for these gems. they are
situated 90 leagues from the city, and some
10000 people have formed a settlement
there. A disturbance took place recently
in which some Portuguese have been killed,
and the other foreigners driven from the
neighborhood by the Brazilians. The Occur
pants of these mines are too numerous TO be
dispossessed 10y Government, who having ne
elected the matter loo long, can now get
neither duty nor jewels. Over Gl00,00O
worth OF diamonds are said TO have been sent
10 Europe by The last British packet, and il
this rate of production continues, the article
will soon be cheap"

The London correspondence of the Boston Atlas, writes under date of the 18th of May. as well known rumor in London, that important despatches out for Mir. PAKEEHAM at Washington from Lord ABERDEEN, giving peremptory instructions to bring the Oregon question to immediate settle- ment. It adds that the line of the Columbia is the ultimntum of Great Britain, and that "the question of Peace or War hinges on the point whether Pres- dent POLK will resign the pretensions of the Uni- ted States 10 the mouth of the Coumbia.''
 The Washington Union expresses it's doubt wheth- any such instructions have been given, but says very direct terms, eff the question of peace war hangs upon the issue, we go for war"
 No administration in this country could stand be- fore popular opinion a moment, by consenting to withdraw below the 18th parallel. and even at that parallel Great Britain would get for the sake of peace, what never belonged to her.

THE FooD OF MAN.-The Genesee Farmer gives this brief summary of the native countries of our familiar plants
 The potatoe is native of South America, and is still found wild in Ch, Peru and Lonte Vdeo. In it's native state, the root is small and bitter. The first mention of it by European writers is in 1589 It is now spread over the world. Wheat and rye originated in Tartary and Siberia, where they are still indigenous. The only country where the oat Is found wild s in Abyssinla, and thence may be con- sidered native, Maize, or Indian Corn, is native of Mexico, and was unknown in Europe until after the discoveries of Columbus The bread fruit tree is native of South Sea Island, particularly OaheIte. Tea is found native no where except m Chiaa and Japan, from winch country the wold is supplied. The nut is native of most equinoclal coun- tres and IS one of the most valuable trees, as food, clothing and shelter afforded by it. Coffee is native of Arabia Felix, but is spread into both the Eas and West Indies. The best coffee is brought from Mocha, in Arabia, whence about fourteen mil hons of pounds are annually exported. St. Domingo furnishes from sixty 10 seventy millions of pounds yearly. All the varieties of the apple derived from
 the crab apple, which is found naive in parts of the world
 | The peach is derived from PersIa, where it still grows in native state, small, bitter, and with poi sonous qualities. Tobacco is native of Mexico and lately one species has been iound in New Holland. Tobacco was first mt' oduced England from North Carolina, in l5S6, by Waiter Raleigh. Asparagus was brought from Asia; cabbage and lettuce from | Holland; horseradish from China; rice from Eth- opia; beans from the East indies; onions and garcs natv, of various places both in Asa and Africa, The sugar a native of China and from thence
 is derived the art of making sugar from It.

It was removed from 'is resting p'ace, ana sent on Saturday to Mir. Hamilton.
