CoRPus CnRIsTI.-The Roman Catholics were out
in large numbers on Thursday to celebrate Corpus
Christi day. In the afternoon the usual procession
was formed, and marched, presenting q very beauti-
ful appearance. The large concourse was doubtless
called forth partly from a desire to see Bishop Naigret
previous TO his departure in the Idaho, to take part
in the convocation Of Bishops ut Rome. \ crowd Of
several hundred natives and foreigners formed in
procession from the Catholic Church. and accompa-
nicd the Bishop to the steamer, all eager to show him
some mark of respect. We wish the venerable Pre-
late a pleasant voyage and return 10 his people.

The Rain Of Snakes.

The account of the remarka-
BILE phenomenon of a rain of snakes
in Indiana Gap, East Tennessee,
a few days since. proves to be cor
rect. A field hand working for
James Cook on his farm, about one
half mile from the gap was exam
lining the snakes on the day sue
ceeding their fall. Noticing one
huge snake, he was in the act Of
measuring it with string, when
he discovered that it was moving.
Standing back in alright, he
stumbled and fell with outstretched
arms on the horrid mass of the
dying and dead serpents. One OF
them bit him in the thumb of the
left hand. The poor fellow has.
tened from the place as quick as
possible, and reached the farm
house of his employer. He was
given immediate assistance. Not.
withstanding every effort, the bit
ten man died about sundown.--
The alarm occasioned by this freak
of nature has not yet subsidized.

A Short Catechism not
usually taught in Sab
bath Schools.

Question.-Can you tell me
where | can buy the cheapest
goods for cash?
AnsaOer.-Dy all means go to
Murray & Morgan.
Q.-Why to Murray & Morgan,
when there are SO many others in
town?
A.--Because they buy for cash,
sell for cash, consequently they
make no debts, which enables
them to sell cheaper than those
who sell on a credit.
Q.-These are good reasons for
selling cheap, but have you no
other reason?
A.-Yes, they are aware that
quick sales and small profits are
better than slow sales and war
profits.
Q.-Do not all merchants say
they sell cheap goods, and might |
not fall into the hands of the Phi
listines?
A.-You might, but as Murray
& Morgan purchase dry goods, &c.,
from the most extensive importers
and jobbers in New York, boots
and shoes direct from manufactH-
rers, and the only merchants in
the county that do purchase from
manufacturers, myself and neigh
bors get the best bargains at their
house is why ] speak SO positively.
Q.-Well, sir, you have an
swered my questions so reasona-
bly, that / will take your advice
and give them a trial. Ho! for

Astounding Empudence.


Nearly all the valuable securi-
ties stolen from the Ocean Bank
of New York, in the recent dar-
ing and skillful raid upon that in
stitution, it seems, have been re-
covered by the bank in one way
or another, and still the adroit OPP
orators remain at large, watching
their opportunity to repeat the op-
Grafton in some other quarter
Meanwhile we CLEAN the following
extraordinary facts from the New
York Sun:
Among the securities taken by
the burglars and not yet recovered
are $50, 900 in bonds of the Por-
tage Lake Superior Ship Canal
Company. These bonds are Sc
cured by lien upon 500, 900 acres
Of choice mineral lands on the up
per peninsula of Michigan, and
are in all respects a first-class Sc
curity, a fact which the enterpris-
I ing burglars seem to fully appre-
ciate.
A short time ago the President
OF the bank, Mr.. D. R. Martin,
received a communication from
the present holders of these bonds,
transmitted in a mysterious man.
ner, asking what would be given
for the return of the bonds. The
President returned an answer that
he would give $4,000 for them
To this he received areply, couched
in the most business like terms,
in which the burglars or their
agents express their surprise at
the estimate the bank puts upon
these particular securities. The
writer says the discount proposed
is altogether too great for bonds
SO amply secured as are these,
and gives the. assurance that,
while the holders are willing to
treat literally with the bank. Off
Gals, they are not prepared to sub
NIT to tho great sacrifice proposed.
This communication is altogether
one OF the coolest pieces of impu-
dence one meets with in a life
time.

One of those narrow-minded
Christians who do more injury to
the cause Of religion than the
worst inhdels, has given utterance
to the opinion that the death of
the Rev. Mr.. Halleck in the re-
cent accident on the Erie Railroad
was a manifestation OF the divine
displeasure against the habit of
smoking. If the reverend gen.
tleman had not been sitting in the
smoking car, he would not have
been killed; if he had not been a
smoker, he would not have been
il. the smoking car; hence he was
killed because he was a smoker.
This kind of reasoning reminds
US of what the New York Observer
said about the railway slaughter
on the New Haven Railroad at
Norfolk, some years ago. The
wise newspaper discovered and
proclaimed to its readers that this
awful event was Gods judgment
on the railroad company for run
ming trains on Sunday! How the
men, women and children who
were crushed and drowned while
travelling over the road on a week
day were rightfully made to suffer
for the sins of the company, it did
not attempt to explain. 1t may
be that the good Father of all
chooses to show his disapproval of
our conduct by such frightful
means; hut in the absence OF
proof OF it, we prefer to disbelieve

FAYETTEVILLE, TENNESSEE :

Poetic Justice.

The Knoxville Press and Her
raid, Of Wednesday, contains the
following timely suggestion, in
which not only a large proportion
OF the representative press, but the
entire population of the State are
Immediately interested:
"The first business which will
come before the newly elected
House of Representatives, immedi-
ately after the same shall have
been organized, will be the intro
duction, by Fleming, of Knox, of
an act to repeal the iniquitous le-
gal advertising law of the State.
"That the law will be immediate
Iy repealed, there is no doubt. In
the meantime Governor Senter
should disregard the obnoxious
law, already a dead letter, and no
longer allow the pauper go-carts
OF Tennessee Journalism to be
pushed along by the aid of the
State Treasury"
The suggestion strikes uses
pecially the latter clause of the
closing paragraph. There is a
sort of poetic justice in making
their own law the instrument by
which certain proscriptive presses
should feel and appreciate the les
son of that great moral law requir-
ing US to do unto others as we
would be done by. The Universal
Suffrage presses, being the. truer
representatives Of the people and
enjoying the largest circulation, are
the fittest mediums for advertising
the business of the courts of the
State.--NaskviNe Banner.

subject be squarely met as the
Code has it, and as the people want
it, by specifying "the newspaper
having the largest circulation in

gardless of politics. The people
show very clearly which papers
they think ought to do the Legal

them, and thus giving them the

In one of the pouches were two box
es of bees on their way to Clarke
county. The boxes were about two
inches square and haff an inch
deep. These boxes had breathing
holes in top and side, covered by
a fine wire gauze. There were
perhaps a dozen bees in each box,

The Cleveland Herald, one of
the most Radical papers of the
West, gracefully accepts the stu
alton of affairs as produced by the
late victory in Tennessee. 1t,
however, seems unconscious that
it is ringing the death knell of

affairs of State. 1t says:

Of East Tennessee, has had his
wings clipped close to his body
In other words, the advocate of
the Acknowledgement of the rebel
element of Tennessee has been
overwhelmingly defeated by the
advocate of universal suffrage and
general amnesty. We are not
disposed to lament this result, for
the time has come, in the estima-
ton of decided majority Of the
right thinking people of the coun-
try, for the removal of all restric-
tons upon suffrage in the rebel
communities of the South. The
triumph of Senter is the dawn of
a new era of good will and cor
dial fellowship throughout the
land, and will go far to strengthen
the bonds that should unite every
citizen to the Republic. The
people of the North, whilst never
forgetful Of the awfulness OF the

bitter animosity that has been rep
resented by Stokes in the recent
canvass in Tennessee, but are en-.
tirely satisfied to see the privileges
of American citizenship enjoyed

A Menagerie in a Mid
night Storm.

On Monday Baily & Co.'s menag-
erie and circus exhibited at Mus
catine. The tent was struck at
IL P. NJ, and the show started for
Davenport. Before dozen miles
had been traversed, a terrific storm
let loose its lightning, thunder and
water. The lightning was blind
ing in its brilliancy, the thunder
terrific, and the rain. violently
driven down by the wind, came
down in sheets. A panic seized
the whole cavalcade--men, horses
and animals seemed to be terror
stricken. Eight of the drivers
deserted their teams, and it was
not long before Wagons and hor-
ses were in inextricable confusion
"a jammed mp mass of founder
ing animals, and overturned ve-
hicles. The darkness, except
when lightning illuminsted the
scene, was impenetrable. The
Gagged lions, leopards, tigers,
wolves and other beasts became
frightened, and bounded from side
to side of their prisons, and roared
and growled and shrieked in very
terror. The lightning came near
er and nearer, until its thunder
seemed to break in the very midst
of the caravan. The elephants
laid down in the road and refused
to move. Three of the horses
were struck by lightning and
killed. 1t is a wonder that no hu-
man lives were lost.
At daybreak the scene present
ed beggars description. lmag-
inc it from the above account OF
the nights experience. 1t was
the worst adventure that ever be-
fel a circus in this portion of the

A Boy Horsemai1-Ex Extra
ordinary Feat Of a Ju-
Venile Circus-rider.

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal, 5th.
On the occasion Of the opening
OF G. w. Noyes' Crescent City.Cir-
cue, yesterday some wonderful eques-
TRAN feats we're executed. The rid
ing of the boy wonder, Master
Wooda Cook, drew enthusiastic ap-
Iplause from the vast audience which
'graced With their presence the spa
cious pavilion on the corner Of First
and Walnut Streets. The splendid
boise which he rode is Of cream
or dun color, with silver colored
name and tail, and is a picture Of
symmetry and action. Master
WoOda (who, by the way has inn
proved most wonderfully since bis
last appearance here being bantered
by the proprietor, MIR. c. N. Noyes,
as TO the number of somersaults he
could turn upon horseback, very
promptly replied that be was. capa-
bic Of turning Is in succession. Mr..
Noyes Immediately said: "Wooda,
if you will throw % consecutive
somersaults, ] will make you pres.
ent Of the horse and bride with
which you do your act" It soon
became noted through the audience
that the trial was one of great inn
portance to the youthful aspirant
for arenic honors, and many hearts
beat With anxiety for the fearful feat.
On being introduced into the ring,
and performing a number Of very
difficult and beautiful acts Of horse
manship, be threw aside the whip
and prepared himself for the cham
pion trial. His smiling face won the
admiration of all, and at once enlist
ed the sympathy of the audience fer
tis success. Until he completed
his tenth somersault the crowd re-
NAMED quiet, but when IA, Is, 16,

interest wss manifested. and when

ersault, the applause was perfectly
deafening. He htrs executed a
feat which no other boy or man liv-
ing has ever performed on horseback.
Immediately after bis gTestchampion
act, without leaving the back of bis
steed, which he bad fairly won, be
successfully accomplished the peri
ilous and difficult act Of turning FIVE
backward back somprsaults, making
80 in all, the larges!! nuHa.hhA;; known
to have been thrown BY any person
/ in the world. The horse and equip
ments are valued at $4,000, very

Cincinnati Made Whisky

We clip the following from the

A New FEATURED IN DIsTILLATIoN.
Some time ago the Fertilizing
Company conceived the idea of
opening a new branch of business

nor less than the manufacturing
of whisky from garbage, potato
Feelings, street sweepings, and the
refuse of slop barrels. Sikeck,
who is at the head of the business,
has received permission to Get up
his still, The company have rent
ed Drasher's distillery for the pur-
pose, and in few days the new
and exhilerating beverage will be
thrown upon the market. The
event will mark the beginning of
a new era with the professional
"soaks" aud regular drinkers,
Kecktails will assume the place
of old-iashioned whisky cocktails,
and slop-barrel "smashes," dish
water punches" cabbage '.ju-
leps," potato "slings" will come in
vogue. The first man who gets
drunk upon this new decoction
should be sent to the Work house
for the remainder of bis natural
life. 1t will soon be SO that a
man won't know what he is drink
ing in this country-if, indeed, he
