A RAIN STORM OF SNAKEs.-An extra
ordinary and most wonderful phenomenon
occurred at Indian Grave Gap, in Camp
bell county, Tenn, through which the
Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad is belrg
built, on Sunday afternoon. During a
severe thunder storm, aud while it was at
its height, the Gap was suddenly filled
with countless numbers of snakes, which
was seen falling for nearly ten minutes.
They were Of the common ringed species
and measured from five inches to two feet
in length. They were all dead, being
killed, it is supposed, by the fall. The
news of this freak of nature Soon spread
among the farmers of the region and Gre
ated the most intense excitement. BY
evening the Gap was crowded with hun-
dreds Of people, drawn thither to witness
the novel spectacle. Numerous surmises
we're induced in by the puzzled specta-
tors, but the general opinion was that
the mysterious shower was the premonl-
ton of some dreadful scourge.-MemphlS

z The story of Cinderella is familiar to
every one, and yet thsre are few that treas
urc it up as in any respect true. But it has
a foundation and a reality that really need
no fairy godmother, with her pumpkin and
hsr rats, to make sn entertaining tale. 1t is
as follows:
In about the year 1880, French actor
by the name of Thevenard lived in Paris.
He was rich and talented but had no wife,
and we may believe he had never loved any
one but gave all his affections to those ideal
characters that he could represent so finely
on the stage. One day as he was walking
leisurely along the strests of Paris, he came
upon cobbler's stall, and his eye was at
tracted by dainty little shoe which lay
there waiting for repairs. His Imagination
began Immediately to form the little foot
that must fit such little shoe. He examin-
ed it well, but only to admire it more and
more. He went to the stall of the cobbler
again but could learn nothing with regard
to the owner of the shoe. This only in
creased his eagerness, and made him more
determined to know to whom it belonged.
Day by day he was disappointed, but he
was not discouraged. At last the little foot
needed the little shoe, and Thevenard met
the owner; poor girl, whose parents be-
longed to the humblest class. But the ar
dent actor thought not of caste or family
His heart had already pronounced the little
one his wife. He married the girl, with nc
question of what people would say. and
felt JOY enough in hearing the tread of the
light, nible feet through his silent rooms, to
pay him for the sacrifice of peoples ap.
proval. This is the true story of Cinderel

night, and danced ten sets besides. We saw
Mrs. Podesta after she had performed this
feat. Her grip was like that of black

her face, with its strongly marked features,
showed no signs of fatigue She q truly a
wonderful old lady. Born on the 9th Of JAN
uary, 1863, in Italy, she has passed through
scenes such as it has been vouchsafed to few
living mortals to behold Let any of our
readers run over in memory the history of
Italy from 1870 to 1S47, when Mrs. Podesta
came to America, and the history of our
country since that time, and they will CON-
comprehend what thrilling experiences are
laid up in the old lady's memory, still clear
and vigorous as It is. She looked on Mon

Fun at Home.

{ Don't be afraid of little fun at home.
good people. Don't shut up your house lest
the sun should fade your carpets; and your
hearts; lest hearty laugh should shake
down some of the musty old cobwebs
there. II you want to ruin your sons, let
them think that all mirth and social enjoy
ment must be left on the threshold without,
when they come home at night
When once home is regarded as only a
place to eat, drink, and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in gambling houses and
reckless degradation. Young people must
have tun and relaxation somewhere; if they
do not find it at their own hearthstones, it
will be sought in other and less profitable
places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly at
night, and make the home-nest delightful
with all those little arts that parents so per-
fectly understand. Don't repress the buoy
ant spirits of your children; half an hour of
merriment around the lamp and freight OF
home blots out the remembrance of many a
care and annoyance during the day, and the
best safeguard they can take with them in
to the world is the unseen influence of a
bright little domestic sanctum.-T1e Little
