We have received from friends at Chapel Hill, we
presume two three copies of the Address delivered
before the Two Literary Societies of the University
on the 1st June, 1853, by. Hon. A. o. P. NICHOLSON,
of Tennessee This Address was very generally no.
ticed about the time of its delivery, and now
reason for dissenting from the high praise then
bestowed upon it.
Among the epistoary curiosities which an Editor
is bound to receive, and which are, of course, the
mere peculiarties of manner or education there are
naiUe, that we venture to allow the public
to take peep. Of course, neither names nor dates
be given:

The RattleSIIakc.


This snake finds superior foe in the deer and black
snake Whenever buck discovers rattlesnake in
a situation which invites attack, he losses time
in preparing for battle. He makes up within ten or
twelve feet of the snake, then leaps forward and aims
TO the body with his sharp and burCate hOofS.
The first onset is commonly successful, if otherwise
the buck repeats the trial until he cuts the snake in
twain The rapiity and fatality Of his skfuI ma
neuvre leave hut slight chance for his victim either
to escape inject poison into his aer antago-
mist.
The rattIesnake also finds dreaded opponent in
the blacksnake. Such is his celebrity of motion, not
only in running but entwning itself around lis VIC
TIM that the ratesnake has way of escaping from
its fatal embrace. When the black and rattlesnake
about to meet for battle the former darts forward
at the height of his speed and strikes al the head Of
the latter with unerrng certainty, leaving foot or
two of the upper part of the boIy at liberty. In an
instant he encircIes him in five six folds; he then
stops and looks the stranged and graspng foe in the
face to ascertain the effect produced upon his corse-
ted body If he shows signs of life, the coils are
multiplied and the screw tightened-the operator all
the while narrowly watching the counenance of the
helpless victim Thus the two remain thirty or for
tY minutes; the executor then slackens coil, no
ticng at the same time whether any signs of life an
pear if so, the coil is resumed and retained, until the
incarceraed wretch is entirely lifeess. The mocas-
sin is destroyed in the same way.
Woody Horse trick was played off, few DAYS since
on the good people of Kentucky. junior Barnum ad-
versed for exhibition "a 10 feet inches high

route for Europe The youth was 10 feet inches
high but unfortunately fourteen feet of the latitude
was made by step ladder The dodge exhibited so
much impudence, that long before nghtfalI the exhi-
bton had become the most successful show that ever
visited the land of hoe cakes and tobacco.
The Paris Steele expresses the following senti-
ments in regard to the Koszta affair:
" The Americans, with but little more provoca-
ton, would burn Trieste and restore the republic of
Venice They but little for the treaties of1815
by which the European powers arrested, because
they were made for princes, and not for the people
"Really in the present fetichsm for the statu quo
we could almost wish that Austria would dare to
outrage the United States We should be sure then,
as now, that the government of Gen Pierce would

United States Coin In the West Indies.

der in the British West Indies, at rates follows:
d.

United States gold half Eagle. ................20
United States gold quarter Eagle. ...........1o 8

The tendency of this will doubtless be to draw Uni

A country clergyman. who is pious and exact in
the performance of every duty, whether secular
lgous, is in the habit every evening before retiring
to his study, of waiting upon his wife, "a" strong
minded woman,') TO receive any command she choose
to give. His speech is measured and his manner
punctiIious. He always knocks respectfully at the
door of the sitting room, and scrupulousy waits for
an invitation to &c walk in.' Madame generally sits
by her table reading some great reform speech, or
writing a letter to the New York Independent. The
door opens; deferential bow is acknowledged by a
nod: "Mistress Mills have MIXED the cow and
fed the pigs washed the dishes, and put the children
to bed. Is there any thing more Mistress Mills "'-
silent shake of the head assures him of negative

A sweet lyric by Thomas Davis, 1reland's lates
poet-taken from her by q premature death:
The summer brook flows in the bed,
The winter torrent tore asunder;
The sky-lark's gentle wings spread
Where walk the lightning and the thunder.
And thus you II find the sternest soul
The gayest tenderness conceaing,
And minds that seem to mock control,
Are orderd by some fairy feeling.
Then maiden start not from the hand
That's hardened by the swaying sabre
The pulse beneath may be as bland
As evening after day of labor
And maiden start not from the brow
That thought has knit, and passion darken d.
In twilight hours, meath forest bough,
The tenderest tales often hearken'd.
