AT morning reception In the fuller
les, the shawl of the Countess de St.
Martin had been stolen and that lady
was very much distressed at the loss, for
the cashmere was not only a present from
Madame Murat. but was one OF uncom-
mon beauty, on account of the rarity of
the design, consisting of paroquets In art

palm. The Countess was therefor untir-

against the bold female who had stolen
her treasure. fIu1 don Ri
"A few weeks after, relates the Ouch

rand. the Countess came toward me with
a bright countenance and told me that she
had just now found her shawl, and.

A Megsc On Nts Muscle.

About eighteen months ago a drug
clerk III Nashville captured burly rattle
snake, about four feet long, and sporting
eight rattics "and but on" He brot
it homo prisoner, prepared handsome
glass case for it's reception, and has since
devoted his leisure to the study and care
Of the reptile, and three other varieties
Of snakes which he from time to time Sc
cured, and placed in the same case.
These snakes live in perfect harmony
The one with the rattles, being quite the
largest, paid no attention to his compan-
| ions, and they, to reciprocate, paid no at
tention to him. In relation to the former,
the gentleman gives the following utter
estins particulars
About two months after his capture,
his snakeship changed his coat by she'd
ding his skin This he ACCOMPLISHED in
short order Being prepared. he com
m need by striking his mead against the
side Of the case until the skin was olsen
gagged, and then, by skillfill series of
| commissions, he came out with new suit,
glistenng bright-the whole process oc-
cupying twenty to thirty minutes. Du-
ring the present year he has "shed" three
times-in May, July and few weeks ago
and it is PICS u,Iied this is his regular
habit aLlH 81 eio ~
His diet is light. For two months af-
ter capture he could be induced to take
nothing On his stomach. For some
months he only ate one mouse and no
thing else, and was, for about that length
OF time, without eating anything at all.
Within the last two months he has had
a better appetite, and swallowed thirty
six of these dainty little creatures His
mechod is to strike" the mouse with
his fangs, and after he is dead he takes
it in his mouth, and then down it goes
in a very few moments He drinks no
thing stronger than water and only takes
this thin beverage" about three times a
year. Most Of the time he is perfectly
quiecsent; sieepsa great deal !; when rest
less glides within the case as # seeking to
make his escape, but makes no violent
demonstrations
Latterly he has had three companions
"a chicken snake, black, and spotted
bush snake The first of these took a
mouse three weeks ago; the Others no.

kept constantly in the case, but for some
weeks have been unmoiested

Grasping the least serpent, he severed
his head from his body in a few minutes,
without injury to himself. He then, after
brief pause attacked the next larger,
cutting off the extremity of his tail In
this case he met with resistance, and was
several times bitten. but persisted until
he had killed his enemy $500

A Description OF the Island OF St.
Thomas.

4 great deal of fault has been found
with the purchase of this Island and
justly too. we think, but here is de
scription of it which conveys the idea
that it is a small paradise in It's way 1t
was written by Vice Admiral Porter:
UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY,
ANNAPOLIS, MD, Nov 6. 1867.
SIR: St. Thomas, Of the Virgin Islands
holds the most prominent position in West
Indies as naval and commercial station
Il IS situated in latitude Is degrees, %
seconds North. longitude Is degrees, 26
seconds West, and lies right IN The track
Of all vessels from Europe, Brazil, East
Indies. and the Pacific Ocean bound TO
the West India Islands or 20 the United
S1atesg Ii is the point where all vessels
touch for supplies when needed, coming
from any of the above stations Ii Is a
central point from which any or all OF the
West India Islands can be assailed, while
It Is lmperyIous 10 attack from landing
parties, and can be fortified toany extent
Nothing can be more beautiful than the
town and bay Of St. Thomas as seen from
the sea; or from the great summit that
overlooks them The bay, at the head
OF which hes the town OF St. Thomas,
is almost circular, the entrance being by
neck guarded BY two heavy forts which
although not ca pabe atpresent of resist
ing the heavy ordinance now in use, can
BE- SO strengthened and protected that 40
foreign power could ever hope to take it.
st. Thomas is small Gibraltar of itself,
and conld only be attacked by a naval
force. There would be no possibility OF
landing troops there, as the island is sur
rounded by reefs and breakers, and every
point near which a vessel or boat could
approach Is natural fertilization, and
only requires guns, with little labor ex
pended on fortified works 1t is true that
the Island was captured by the British
IN 1897, while funder the charge off tbe
Danish Governor Van Schotteu. Int
there was not, a shot fred, or any effort
made to defend the place. This is the
Only instance where the Island has ever
been in the hands of foreign enemy and
the British would have held it to this
day, instead Of for seven years. could
they have done SO without difficulties

better fitted than st. Thomas for naval
station. Its harbor, aud that of San
