l; A TRUE SNAKE SroRY.--On the Fourth
OF July last. one of Wadwell's "pets,"
while on little excursion into the coun-
try, came upon large moccasin snake,
which he succeeded in capturing. He
gave it to one of the guards, who Gagged
the reptile and tried to domesticate it,
Eight weeks have elapsed, and during
that time the snake, although apparently
in first-rate health, has not taken q NOR
sci of food of any kind. She has, how
ever, within few days past, astonished
her keeper by giving birth to forty-two
young ones, which are now alive and
squirming. The youngsters are as lively
as crickets, and may occasionally be seen
in squads of dozen or so at time
going down the throat of the fond "pa-
rient," either as refuge from danger,
or perhaps to take their meals in some
incomprehensible manner.
The gentleman having this happy
family in charge has been at loss to
know what to feed them with, and has
not yet found anything that they relish.
A day CT two ago live frog was put into
the cage, and it was hard to tell whether
frog or snake was the more frightened.
A mouse was then put in, but this ven
ture was still more unsuccessful, for the
mouse created a panic among the little
ones by devouring one of their number,
Notwithstanding the victim was eight
inches long, and armed with the sharp
est of pointed fangs.

FEARFUL DEATH BY L1aHTN1NG.-A
terrible calamity occurred in the town of
Caldwell, N. j., on Sunday evening last,
the particulars of which are given by
the New York Times. as follows:
"a young man named Stephen Pierce
was walking home from the Methodist
Episcopal Church, in com pany with a
young lady, when they were overtaken
by the violent storm, which was pre-
ceded and accom- panied by thunder and
lightning. The entire village was sud-
denly Illuminated with IN intense light.
and Pierce and his companion fell to the
ground. The lady was stunned, but she
soon recovered and screamed for help.
When help arrived, nothing was found
OF the young man who had accompanied
her but mangled remains. His boots
were stripped from his feet, his limbs
were severed and lacerated, and the fea-
lures were not recognizable by those who
had known him in life. The unfortu-
nate young man is said to be the third
Of his family who have lost their lives
by the same cause"

pnny, Atlanta Department..
To the People of South Carolina:
The above Company was organized in 1866,
in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of
Southern policies by Northern companies The
unparalleled success of tho enterprise has
forced several of these companies to restore
their Southern policies, from the fact that thew
could not operate in our midst without the ap-
pearancc of honesty.
Wo keep oil our money at home to build up
our impoverished country-every dollar of
premium being safely invested in the State
from which it is derived The institution is
purely Southern, aud hence should appeal
with great force to the patriotism and sympa-
thy Of every Southern heart.
'Tis not our purpose to mako war on other
companies, but to exhibit the special adyan-
tages offered by this purely Southern Compa-
ny-founded on patriotism and solid wealth.
Its ratio OF assets to liabilities-the true test
OF company's strength, is second to none on
this continent-being nearly 800 to 1CO.
Whenever and wherever we have presented
the claims OF this Company, it has not only
enlisted the sympathies Of our people, but has
also secured their hearty cooperation. We
have secured 500 policies In Soxth Carolina
since the 10th of February. We number
among our Directors Gen. Wade Hampton and
Col. VIM. Johnston, gentlemen well known to
every citizen Of South Carolina. We appeal
personally to the people Of South Carolina to
assist in pushing forward this deservedly
popular Southern institution.

A WoRMY ARGUMENT Hayne-
vile (Ala.) E.rdminer says that one great
reason for the introduction of Chinese
labor into the cotton region of the South
is the fact that in their own country
worms with rice is dish of high stand
ing. If they come here, then, they will
not only plant the staple, work it and
pick it out, but they will eat the myriad,
OF worms that infest it! We consider
this a knock down argument in favor of the
pigtails. And for this reason the County
OF Lowndes now needs $4,000 Chinese.
We are satisfied that there are caterpil-
lars enough to give rations to that many
OF our new fellow-citizens (under the
fifteenth amendment) of Asiatic birth.
II we are to have them, let us have our
hand dealt to us right now. 2 )

PUSH AND HOLD ONy

The newspapers record that "push-cart
man" or as they call him ''down-East" a
8" hand cart man in Portland, Maine, has re-
tired on a fortune. We can readily believe it,
for many of those thrifty Yankees manage,
before they reach the age to rest, to secure a
pillow of greenbacks to rest upon.
We like the story of this push cart man
He kept his business entirely in his own hands;
and his team was always through dinner as
soon as he, and as fresh as he was. He had
no unnecessary extravagances to provide for,
and no current expenses to be running on,
while the push cart stood STILL We venture
to say that all surplus earnings were deposited
or invested where they would pay interest; and
that he does not to this day, in his retirement,
spend the whole of his income, but carries
| part to the increase OF his principal.
If young men, and all men would only look
| forward to the time when nature will require
a relaxation of their labor, or when new fash
| ions or more adroit workers will push them
aside, they would both push their business and
| hold on upon their earnings. There is leak
| in the pocket of too many men, by which the
| tills of liquor vendors are filled with fools
pence. If the money wasted in the indul-
gence of habit which is not only unnecessary
but pernicious, could only be laid aside for
present help and future rest, a vast improve
ment would be shown. There would be no
neeu OF strikes ana no compulsory LABOR. line
temperate man would be able to retire when
age made it desirable to remit his labor. And
he could do so too without being made the
subject of newspaper comment. For the with
drawal of persons past their meridian from
hard work would be the rule and not the ex
cegtion.
We are no advocate for penurious and mig
gardly living Nor would we have the minC
starved in the pursuit of money getting. l
the single item of alcohol, however prepared
or disguised, could be taken from the public
consumption, and if the whole amount o
money wasted for that were still spent in harm
less Injuries, the world would still be the gain
er The worst evil of habitual drinking is no
the cost of the liquor, but the demoralizatiol
of the men who drink it. They are not com
petent to "push understandingly or to hus
band their resources. But they are alway
drifting at the mercy of circumstances; unabl
to shape their course or to determine their pun
poses. A ship might as well be without
rudder, as with steersman at the wheel who's
thoughts are confused, and whose senses al
obtuse by his habits of indulgence in deader
ing potations.

A WARNING TO AMERICANS ABOUT TO Wis

A WARNING TO AMERICANS ABOUT TO Wis
1T RoME.-Dr. j. G. Holland, writing about
Rome, says: I" 1t is no light thing for man
to visit Southern Italy at any time, and 1t IS,
under any circumstances, a serious thing for
him to take his family with him. Naples and
Rome are not Saratoga or the White Noun
tains. The influences of the atmosphere,
whether of malaria, or moisture, or alterna-
tions of sun and shadow, induce fever that
every summer lays numbers of strangers in
the grave. or prostrates them through long
months of sickness. It makes ones heart
bleed to think of the large number of Ameri-
can families that come out of Italy every spIing,
leaving one of their number behind them, or
bearing it embalmed on its way to the forsaken
home beyond the sea. In the winter the sun
| is hot and the shadows are cold. The galleries
in which a great deal of time is spent are
cold. The change from day to night is great
change; and at the time of that change hun.

with their days excursions, and dinnerless-
without the power to resist the chill that comes
upon them the moment that the sun passes
from sight. Then there are the exposures
that come of mingling in society-the recep

the theatres and operas. Is it to be wondered a
