4 correspondent oftho Morristown
Gu=ttc, writing from Murrysvillc,
Cooke county, Tennessee under date
Of June 30, gives tho most singular
snake story We have heard yot, We
clip the following
a Mrs. Kennedy, n woman of
about forty, the wife of nm Irish IN
borcr living of French Broad street,
has for several years suffered great ly
from III health. Her symptoms and
complaints were singular She was
afflicted with almost constant paint,
80 that she could seldom or never
rest ut night. She stated that she
felt something running up and down
in tho abdomen, that she Frequently
experienced the creeping sensation
which is called ilritability. She had
been in tho hospital here, and had
boon trcatod for various complaints,
but found no relief As her uncaai~
moss and pains continued, 50 were
tho attempts to relieve her, but with
ont success, Not long since DR.. Por-
riOm Gyles was called into roquisi-
ton and tool, charge of the case.
About n week ago sho became
subject to uncomfortable ucasiucss,
and begged DR.. Gylcs TO perform an
operation for her relief. This he was
reluctant to do, thinking it would
hazard her life but she persisted in
the request, ana at last ho yielded to
her opportunities, when on Friday
afternoon last, assisted by DR.. James
Davis, Of this place, and Surgeon W.
Allen, of Sweet water, ho proceeded
to perform the operation, lIo Grst
made an incision about ten inches
long along lhe medal line of tho alb

ing largely, about twcnty-siX inches
in diameter, and irregular form. Ho
opened it aud found therein two rat
tlesnakes, one thirty.six inches, and
the other thirty two and one half in
ches in length, One Of tho snakes
had five rattles, and the other four
rattles and a button. Thoy had yol~
low and black spots on them, with
white bellies, They were quito live
ly, and would rattle and strike when
disturbed, Tkoy wero killed, and
their skins and rattlos arc in posses

The tumor being removed, Mrs.
Konnedy was instantly relieved, and
is now doing well, The doctor calls
tho snakes crOtaiis h0Trid,is. Mrs.
Kennedy says she swallowed two
small, soft white oggs that she found
several years ago, as she was walking
out in a field near the Warm Springs,
North Carolina. Having just come
over from ireland, sho was not ac.

Living on Society.

A correspondent writing from Wash
ington says 90
81 know of case where lady and
her husband literally lived on the pub
lie, and in the following manner: At
the afternoon receptions of notabilities
there is always table spread in the
furthest of the suite of rooms, wherein
boned turkey, 6ouiIlon, cold sliced
meats, cake, and chocolate, and some
times ices and punch, are temptingly
laid out. After entering the house ana
paying ones deUoirs to the hostess and
chatting until some newcomers demand
her attention, you are politely directed
to the refreshment room, where colored
walters, in immaculate shirt fronts and
white gloves, with the superiority so
disconcerting to poor David Copper
field, ask you if you will be served to
anything. This couple above referred
to took lodgings in fashionable por-
ton Of the city, breakfasted on mush
and milk, or some other equally health
full and inexpensive luxury, then sailed
out to make calls, and-get their din
ner. A little at this house, and some
thing else at that mansion, soon stayed
their hungry cravings, and 10 they had
combined tie business of eating with
the pleasure of calling on all the high
officials.
GAS the Justices receive Monday,
Cabinet officers Wednesday, Senators
and Representatives Thursday, and the
intermediate days by the lesser lights,
dinners could very easily be dispensed
with by these individuals. The money
thus saved from superfuous home sup
plies could be used toward handsome
visiting outfit, cords, and gloves.

A Smuggler's Bed-Ouilt,

All sorts of devices are known to be
resorted to by the enterprising persons
who buy dry goods in Canada and
smuggle them over Uncle Sans tariff
wall, but it sometimes happens that
their ingenuity is sadly thrown away.
An incident recently transpired at Sus-
pension Bridge which illustrates this
phase of the smuggling business.
There was sale of confscated goods
by the Collector at that port some time
ago, and gentleman of our acqnaint-
ance, for the fun of the thing, made q
bid for the possession of an ordinary
looking bed-quilt or comforter. He got
it for fifty cents and took the second
hand thing home, where its arrival
elected no great enthusiasm. After be-
ing CONTEMPORARY kicked about the
house for some time, the quilt was
finally assigned to duty on a servants
bed. By and by rent occurred in its
calico integument, and the servant girl
one day CHANGED to notice a corner of
superior looking stuff emerging from
the aperture. An examination was
made, and some rich results followed
the old quilts dissection. Five yards
of rich pink silk, nine yards heavy black
ditto, quantity of velvet ribbon and
numerous silk neck-ties were sue
cessively exhumed from its capacious
interior, greatly to the comfort of the
comforter's owners. Since the affair
transpired there has been an active de-
mand at the Collectors sales for bed
quilts, but the importation does not
seem to be kept up.

He Found it Again.

The following story is told b
French Journal A physician, officially
connected with the prison of La Force
and much beloved by his ight-fngered
patients, perceived on leaving the Varie
ties one evening that his pocket had
been picked and that his opera-glass
was gone. Next day on meeting the
denizens at La Force he expressed his
displeasure at the occurrence. "It is
all very we'll" he said, for you to say
l am popular among you, but 1 am
treated just as others are. Some of
your friends contrived to relieve me of
my oper-glass last night at the Varie-
ties" "That was only because they
did not know you, doctor" replied a
prisoner. "Who was on duty at the
Varieties last night ?" heinquired, turn
ing to a comrade. The answer was
given in whisper. "You shall have
your glass tomorrow" he added. Next
day person called on the physicians
wife. Here" said he, "are all the
opera-glasses stolen two nights ago at
the Varieties ; please to point out the
DOCTORS" The lady having done SO,
the obliging pickpocket handed it to
her, restored the others to their cases,
and disappeared.

Is the Planet Mars a Desert 2

Can it be credible that, while every
drop of water on our earth is peopled
with millions, another world is desert ?
Owing to the eccentricity of its orbit,
the amount of light and heat received
by Mars from the sun must vary con-
siderable. Further, we may add that,
while the earth is 100000 of miles
from our source of light, the distance
between that luminary and Mars is fully
41,000,000 miles. From this difference,
and the relative sizes of the two planets,
we can determine the amount of heat
transmitted to Mars as compared with
the quantity reaching the earth; and
the average daily supply is found to be
as two to five. More nearly, when Mars
is closest to the sun, he receives some
what more than half as much heat as
the earth when furthest, his supply
falls to little over one-third of that of
our sphere. The sun would appear, to
person on his surface, to be about
one-third the size that it does to us.

A Massachusetts Grange.

The Springfield Union reports an eff
fort by the grangers to secure the prac-
tical benefits of the organization. Some
weeks since the grangers at Greenfield
and Deerfeld united in sending West
for car load 600 barrels) of -four.
The flour was procured direct from the
grower of the wheat, himself the mas
ter of the State grarge of Michigan !;
was milled by another granger of high
repute and cost the recipients SO. %
per barrel. Of the supply, Greenfield
took A barrels, Deer6eld 40, and the
Mortified grange received the remain
ing 16 barrels, though not participating
actively in procuring it. AS a whole,
the quality has given satisfaction. 1t
has varied, as most carloads of flour
will. All who have used it testify that
it makes as good, sweet bread as can be
made from any flour, though it is not
the whitest. cit is just the same kind
of -four" said an officer of the Deer
field grange, that the Greenfield mer-
chants are selling every day at from
$11.25 to 11.75." Probably a safer
statement is that of an officer of Guild
ing Star grange, that estimates of its
market value ranged all the way from
SO. so to $12. The fault-fnding is GER
tainly outside the oranges. There
are plenty of outsiders who don't like
it, said one of the patrons, and they
insist that the unfavorable criticism is
all of the sour-grapes kind. A better
proof of it's excellence is that second
load will be very soon, if it has not al
ready been, sent for, Deerfeld this
time taking the lead, as Greenfield die
in the former purchase. They will try
new place-very likely Minnesota, al
they mean to "get the best" They
are discussing seriously the purchase
of other groceries, especially molasses
syrups and spices, on all of which they
think they can make material saving
