RattleSnakeS.

DR.. NJ. c. Cotton, of Nashville, has
been studying the peculiarities of rat
tlesnakes. He has had one in his pos
session, confined to glass case, since
the 18th of May, and from that date up
to a few days ago, it has not partaken
of a particle of food, though it had been
tempted with mice and other small ami
mails on which the reptile is accustomed
to feed. He thought it was male un.
til he discovered that it had given birth
to seven young snakes, each from nine
to fifteen inches in length, and with
full button on the tail, clearly refuting
the idea that they have to be six
months old before the formation of the
button. DR.. Cotton represents that he
once before kept in case large sized
rattlesnake for three years and nine
months, and that he studied closely its
moods ard changes. For nine months
it did not partake of particle Of food,
and but little water. 1t shed its skin
twice a year, a new rattle appearing at
each shedding, which explodes the
popular notion that but one rattle comes
q year.

An Astronomical PrOblem.-Had the
Earth Ever Two Satellites.
From Galignani's Messenger

FROM Ga!lgnanl : messenger.
Our readeas are acquainted with M.
Stanislas Meunier's efforts to create a
new science, Comparative Geology, by
examining the structure of the numcr-
Gus aroliths in the museums. We have
already spoken of the various genera
distinguished by him with the names of
Chantonnite, tadjerite, oumalite, montrejite,
etc, according to the places where the
meteorites had fallen +; but we now see,
from All article OF M. Victor Meunier's,
but all these scattered elements are as
Stunning detinate shape, which deserves
place among the hypothesis which
have some probability in their favor.
Starting from the fact that the meteo-
rites in our possession are minerals of
definate chemical composition, NJ.
Meunier inquiries from what part of our
solar system they may be supposed to
come? Now, as the only solid planets
we know OF are those which lie within
the girdle Of the telescope ones, them
selves included-as Jupiter and Saturn
are liquid or nearly SO, while Uranus
and Neptune are gaseous, there Is every
probability that @roliths can only pro-
coed from the first mentioned region
Again their chemical composition leads
to the belief that they are fragments
Of planet which has ceased to exist !;
and as they fall on our globe, why
might not this erratic celestial body
have been satellite of ours? To avoid
circumlocution, NJ Meunier gives this
hypothecal planet name: Geologic.
The evidence of its existence many
thousand years ago is of course only
circumstantial, but, on the other hand,
there is no direct proof of its not hay
ing existed. The fragments Of Geologic
may have been whirllng about for ages
round the earth without our being
aware Of it, except by the occasional
falling of one Of them within our grasp
owing to some unknown accident. 1t
is not the least curious circumstance Of
this new theory, that 1t sprang into ex-
istence during the siege Of Paris, when
mems minds were engrossed with far
different subjects for meditation.

The Kangaroo FlOp.

The latest fashionable mincing alb
surdity is thus pleasantly described by
a Long Branch correspondent WHO
acknowledges that, having tried it, she
knows how it is herself:
Those who have studied and practiced
so indefatigably the art Of what Sake
terms the kangaroo flop" are Hopping
vigorously with the new accomplish
ment; others, not few at first, made
ridiculous failures, and caused many a
sarcastic smile from the more fortunate
ones who came prepared with the sensa-
ton. Now, however, nearly all have
succeeded in getting the position and
the motion to scientific eXactness.
But for the benefit of some of the ladies,
| will explain the nature of the kanga-
roo flop" The dignity of the gentlemen
of our noble city cautions me not to try
to inveigle them into the mysteries Of
the flop. Therefore, gentlemen, this is
not for you. You are permitted to re-
tire until | give lesson to the ladies,
who know are dying to know how to
edo" the flop. First, you must draw
your shoulders up in your neck, lean
back as far as you leaned forward when
you did the Grecian bend, pin your ell
bows to your sides, draw up the lower
part of your arms on line with your
chin now let your hands hang grace
fully you need a fan or mOuchoir in one
hand, and lean your head over one
side (it must be stiff Lean as you
would if you had boil one side of your
neck. After you have succeeded in get
ting into this position, affect a silly ex-
preston, if you are not fortunate enough
to have it naturally, and walk with
swagger-quite a positive swag, as
though your hips were hung on hinges.
AS this art requires much practice, |
would advise you not to try it on the
street, or in public dining-room, ri hit
away. Some of the ladies here do it
beautifully, and it is surprising what
talent the gentleman have for affecting
the flop. Unless you have pretty hands,
with each of the first fingers covered
with diamonds, don't try the flop.

The Little Loaf.

In time OF famine rich man sent
for the poorest children in the town,
and said to them:
There is basket Of bread you
may each come every day and take a
loaf until it pleases God to send better
times"
The children attacked the basket, and
disputed as to which should have the
largest loaf, and went away without
once thanking their benefactor.
Only Frances, very poor bait clearly
girl, modestly remained behind and
had the smallest loaf which was left in
the basket She gratefully returned
thanks, and went home quietly. One
day the children behaved very badly
indeed, and poor Frances received loaf
very much smaller than the rest, but
when she took it home and her mother
cut it open, q number Of pieces of silver
fell on the floor.
The poor woman was astonished, and
said
$50 and return this money immedl.
ately; it must have been put in the
bread by mistake"
Frances went directly with it to the
gentleman, who said:
my dean child, it was no mistake. |
had the money put into that loaf to re-
ward you. Remain always as peaceable
and contepted. Those who are salts
fed with little always bring blessings
upon themselves and family, and will
pass happily through the world. Do
not thank me, but thank God, who put
into your heart the treasure of con.
tented and grateful spirit, and who has
given me the will and opportunity to
be useful to those who are in need of
assis tance.''

An Old Relic Come to Light.
From the Carlisle (Ky.) Mercury.

FROM the carlisle my mercury.
4 short time since, as the workmen
were engaged in digging the foundation
for Holmes n Pearce's new store, in
Mount Olivet, Robertson county, they
struck two fourfeet posts, buried per
pendicularly, some seven or eight feet
apart-the top of each being two feet
from the surface of the ground. Con-
tinuing their labors, the workmen found
at the bottom of one OF these posts a
stone about one foot square, bearing this
inscription, in plain but roughly carved
letters, viz. sd. B., l775." Now, as
Daniel Boone was wont to roam in these
settlements, years ago, it is not at all
unlikely that the initials are meant for
him, though the stone was certainly not
placed there to mark his last resting
place, even though the position Of the
two posts indicates grave. But what
was the stone doing at the foot of the
post? And how came the post to be
two feet from the surface of the earth :?
And if it was grave, why were there
not signs Of coffin? And-what does
it all mean, anyhow? We "pause for a
reply" Who knows? The posts had
evidently been buried for time without
reckoning, for on exposure to the light,
they at once crumbled TO dust.

SueZ Canal.

The prospects of the Suez Canal have
assumed a brighter appearance. The
company has concluded to resort to an
other loan, and have authorized the
raising of an additional 20OOO,OOO
francs. To meet this, the Viceroy has
allowed the company to increase the
tolls one franc per ton. The regular
traders which use the canal route repre-
sent BAG, 900 tons. This, multiplied by
their annual voyages, indicates 100000
tons, producing 20,000,000 francs for
tolls per year. A line Of steamers is to
be established between London and
Shanghae, and will commence running
on the lst prox. This is expected to
add halt a million francs annually to
the treasury of the canal and the
company have been appraised by the
British Government that it intends
sending nineteen transports through
between this month and March next,
the tolls on which will be from 100000
to 100000 francs. The practicability of
keeping the canal free of sand accumu-
lations has been settled satisfactorily,
and indications are that the question as
to the success of the work financially
will, ere long, have as gratifying a
solution

With frock tucked up and left arm basketed; e
A drove of pigs ran from the fenced lawn.
Justify Squeezing white, blue black, and red
Then came huge ram stately from the shed.
As though he'd enter in no race with swine,
Or wishing 70 be free of crinoime;
Expressing thus silent Jewish scorn,
Or love of freedom. better far than corn.
Now. gathering up her robust arm she held
The oaken basket closer, as Il she -,
Her 6nger;;tips TO the white breasts would weld ;
While with the other hand she shook the tree.
The large, ripe apples dented the wet earth.
Not falling with a bounding gee and mirth.
But with dull, heavy thuds, like great, round
drops A
OF summer rain amid the thirstng crops: ~
And onward to the other trees she HES
With cautious step, for, until clear sunrise,
The long weeds are low bent with laden dew,
Which no neat maiden would walk careless
She aiisher basket with the golden fruit.
Leaving the long be ard standing gravely mute,
And walks back to the dairy brave girl
Who keeps the farm-yard in n ceaseless whirl
OF duty doing. On the dairy shelf. -
Where no one may put hand except herself
Those speckless cedar pals attract the eye;
Within that portal no o'ercunning fly
Ever took lodgings for n single night,
Nor could an ant escape her faultless sight
For one sweet, cosy moments space to stand
Amid the allurements of that promised land
OF actual milk and honey. But, away
70 other rounds of labor as the day
Grows up with added radiance: hens to nest
About the brushwood on the upland crest
The grecnly- hidden summit of the hill.
Where also lambs lie by the angud rill.
Deep couchcd in kindred gentleness awhile,
Alike from sun heat, and the tiercer guile
Of hunger-fame, protected. Thus her work
Extends even to The woods and fields anear;
Hunting the truant calves through the morning
mist,
When the first bluebird sings of the new born
year;
And if one item she omit or shrk.
Night hath no rest in its deep wings for her,
in dreams of marriage bells. or lovers tryst.

Poisoned whisky.
The Philadelphia Price Current say

The Philadelphia Price Current says
Western distlllers have recently in.
vented new system Of manufacturing
whisky, by means of which peculiar
strength and odor are impaired to the
product, highly injurious to the health
of consumers, and certainly not credit
able tothose engaged in its sale. Neither
the noYious ingredients themselves nor
the process of manufacture are known
to many outside the ring but sufficient
has leaked cut to show the character of
the men and the business. Sulphuric
acid is blended it'll the mash or APP.
piled directly to the product OF the
stills, which imparts a disagreeable odor
to the whisky and SO powerful is its eff
feet upon il that it coriodes and eats up
the inside of the barrels in which the
foul compound is kept.
Another feature of this rot gut, sold
under the name of whisky, is that il
cannot be extracted by any process of
distillation, rehabilitation or rectitca
ton. This fact has caused its presence
to be traced in highwines purchased
from the West by respectable distillers
here, and prompted them 10 shut down
on the nefarious traffic as injurious TO
life and the interests of the trade. BY
experiment it has been tested that if
small piece of iron or copper is inserted
into barrel of whisky adulterated with
this acid the entire mass will be instant
ly blackened, and if left in it for a short
time will evolve large quantity OF dis
acetate Of copper or verdigris. Such a
compound cannot fail to prove feartully
injurious 10 the public health, if brought
into general use and we are glad to
see that a combined effort is contem-
plated by the trade to discard it alto
gether If this be not sufficient, the
consequences are sufficiently serious to
call for some legislative enactment by
which the sale Of this poisonous stuff
shall be prohibited under the seyerest
penalties
