ANOTHER SNAKE SroRr.-The Memphis Eagle
and Enquirer tells miraculous snake story
with as good grace as did st. Louis paper
not long since Here it is:
Many of the coves and settlements along the
base of mountains in East Tennessee are still
| infested with snakes, even the terrible rattle
snake. g.5# T
Many years ago, man living in one Of these
| settlements had cut away and partly cleared
OFF the underbrush from parcel of ground, but
had not got it in cultivation. In the summer it
became thickly set with weeds and grass One
day the owner of this ground told one of his
neighbors who had called at his house that he
had dream the night before, which had made
so deep an impression on his mind as to keep
him thinking about the matter all the morning.
He dreamed that on a certain spot where a
brush heap had been burned, and which was
clear of weeds, in his new ground, he had seen
large rattlesnake; that in attempting to kill
It the snake bit him, and he was about to die;
he awoke, and found to his relief that it was
dream.
This dream made him feel bad, and kept him
thinking about it so much that he had con-
cluded to 60 and see if there was snake where
ne dreamed it was. So this man, on account of
his dream, went, accompanied by his neighbour
to the designated spot, and sure enough there,
IL eAeu certifying COLL from winch tnese do2y,
motionless looking creatures-quick as an cleo
trio shock and with astounding power and pre-
cission-strike their deadly blows, was huge
rattlesnake. The man, taking hold of club,
aimed to give the snake an oyerhanded blow
which would crush it or at least SO disable it
that he could " bruise its head without danger:
but, unfortunately, as he swung the stick over
his head with great energy, and as he was
leaning forward little to bring down the blow
with greater force. the stick snapped off near
his hands SO suddenly that he stumbled and fell
forward on the snake. 1t bit him, and he died
of the poison in few hours And thus his
dream was the means of its own fulflment, as
well as the death of the man and the snake.

We have received the July number Of the
Edinburgh Review, reprinted in this country
by Leonard Scott s Co. of New York. The
present number contains two articles bearing
upon the present Russian war; an article upon
reetotalism and the laws against the Liquor
Trade; an article upon Eschylus, upon Euro
pean Emigration to the United States, and
several upon other subjects. Some Of these
papers are admirably conceived, digested and
written. 1t will be seen from the subjects that
they must be exceedingly interesting and worthy
Of perusal.
The London Quarterly for July is decidedly
Or literary character. 1t takes up the Drama,
Classical Dictionaries, Milman's Latin Chris
tianity, Queen Elizabeth and her Favorites,
the House of Commons, and, Of course, the
eternal Eastern Question. !" My Grandmother's
Review however, shows fewer symptoms of
decrepitude and dotage than it did some years
since. and, by the TRANSMISSION of new blood into
its editorial veins, has quite verified Beyle's
theory, and come forth rejuyenated If it has
not the vigor Of the North British, the scholar
ship of the Edinburgh or Westminster, or the
sprighthness and amenity Of BlackWood,, it pos
sesses other merits quite sufficient to preserve it
in its present high position. We are always in
structed and generally edited by what we find
| in it.
Blackwood for August contains part three Of
Stoke Manor an essay on Student Life in Scot
land; articles on the Gangetic Provinces. the
Instruction in Spain, and the Ethnology Of
Europe, besides its invariable political tail
piece, which is, this month, upon Conservative
Reascendancy. The present number is drier
than usual, and more like one of the Quar-
terlies.
DeBow for September comes to hand with
teachings and speculations upon Cuba, Ameri-
can Cities, Destiny Of the Slave States, Cotton
in India, the Southern Convention, etc., etc,

PELICAN HOOK AND LADDER COMPANY No. 4
We yesterday evening attended the christen-
ing Of the new !. truck Of Pelican Hook and
Ladder Company No 4, Of this city. It was
manufactured for the Company by Mr.. John
MeClennan Of st. Charles street, and is very
handsome and ereditable piece of workmanship
creditable to the builder on account Of its ex-
ceilence, and creditable to the Company as
proof that they believe New Orleans as capable
Of manufacturing truck as New York or Phil
adelphia.
1t was escorted by the Company from the
mandatory to their house, on the corner of
Toulouse and Rampant streets, where table
was found spread with those things that were
best adapted to the occasion and most likely to
produce determination Of spirit. After care
full examination of the new property by those
present, Mr.. James Wingfeld, Foreman Of the
Company, called the gathering to order, and
gave toast to the future Of the Hook and Lad
der Company. "A toast to the Press was very
happily replied to by Col. Lumsden Of the Plea
yune, who proposed as sentiment:
Creole Hook and Ladder Company No. Its Creole
members and Creole material.
Toasts were given to the builder, to the DIFF
ferent officers and to the Fire Department
Speeches were madeand every thing passed of
pleasantly. 5@
The Pelican Hook and Ladder Company is q
new one, but lately organized and, we believe,
not yet called out. 1t has fine list Of mem
bers. active and energetic officers and every
requisite to render it useful and efficient. It
has one story ladder fifty two feet and nine
inches long; two three-story ladders and Sc
yeral Of lesser length, besides all the usual par
aphernalia. 1t has commenced life under the
best auguries, and will, We hope and believe,
equal the expectations Of It's friends and prove
a valuable addition to the means our city has
for extinguishing fires and saving property.
Success to it,
