A Snake Story.

On Saturday afternoon last while Rev. j.
II. McGahen was driving on his way to Full
ton, as he reached small stream of water
which crosses the road, he was permitted to
witness a scene both novel and exciting. Mr..
McGahen thus describes the contest: Two
large water snakes were contending for the
possession of a small fish which had been
captured (the fish being about eight inches In
length, while two smaller snakes, one on
each side of the contestants, with heads
slightly raised above the water, where APP
parently interested spectators ofthe struggle,
but neither iuterfered. One of the larger
snakes had seized the fish by the head, while
the other grasped him by the tail, the former,
of course having much the better hold on
account Of the tspering form of the fish, but
il was long pull and strong pull; the wa
ter was dashed into. quite a fury; the snake
with the tail hold wound himself twice
around small stick fastened near him, Civ
ing him quite an advantage over his antago-
mist. But after desperate struggle of about
five minutes, the snake having the head hold
wre,ted the contested prey from his opponent
and bore it rapidly away up the stream in
triumph, while his vanquished snakeship
crest-fal!en, supperless and subdued, SUNK
away out of sight. 1t was an intensely OK.
citing performance, but probably not a very
pleasing one to the poor fish.

A MOTHERS FORGETFULNESS.
Results In the PrObable:..DeathO of Her
Infanti, Child.
Chattanooga Times.

A case of absence of mind has just &C.
Cured at Red Clay, Ca, which immeasurably
surpasses everything of previous record.
Near large planning mill, in that town,
there lives family named Rose. Several
days ago Mrs. Rose had occasion to 60 to
the mill, carrying her ten months old child
along with her. While there the little one
fell asleep, and becoming rather burdensome
she laid it in large box in the mill. After
concluding her business she left the mill, for.
getting all about the child, leaving it peace
fully sleeping in the bottom of the box in the
mill. Some hours later she remarked its alb
sence, but remembering where it was she
thought she had told her husband to bring it
home, and she felt no further uneasiness. At
supper the father came, but with no child
She anxiously asked him in regard to the
child, but he disclaimed any knowledge of its
whereabouts. Upon her telling him where
she had laid it, and where, in all probability,
it was still lying, sudden pallor overspread
his face, and it was with the greatest diff
Guilty that he could tell that few moments
before he had emptied several bushels of
meal in that selfsame box, and iu all prob.
ability the child had long since died from SUIT
location. A doctor was hurriedly srnt for,
the box was sought, and in it, under the meal,
Law the child, bereft of all sensibility. The
doctor applied every known restorative, but
at last accounts it still lay in comatose state,
with hardly a possibility of recovery.

A Musical Treat.

Yesterday afternoon at the St. George
hotel parlor, the sweet songster of Texas,
Miss Ella Herbert Rives, OF Marlin, treated a
few friends, who had collected to pay their
respects, to some selections from her roper
toire. 1t was cause of much regret that
the great inclemency of the weather COM
PEELED Miss Rives to postpone the concert she
had advertised to give last evening at the
opera house. The lady herself was not less
disappointed at the postponement than we're
her many admirers. Miss Rves yesterday
afternoon evidenced to those who heard her
the entire business of her increasing reputa-
ton as vocalist of rare powers, cul-
tivated with the EXTREMIST care.
With voice of expressive and sympathetic
sweetness, of ample compass and accurate
meditation, she is as happy with the higher
notes as in the lower register. We may
safely say that she does what every prima
donna should do, but what every prima donna
does not always do, viz: does vocally well
and at the same time in musical good taste.
There is broad distinction here, and Miss
Rives either recognizes it as an artistic or falls
into the correct groove as natural songster.
Miss Rives has, clearly enough, been an apt
scholar in the school of vocal culture, tech
nique and style, and there is graceful, girl
ish sweetness in her manner that sensibly
adds charm to her renditions. We shall
watch and report the career of this excellent
lady as she proceeds in
her conquering course. That she
is destined to great fame none can doubt, and
Texas feels great pride in her rare abilities
and much interest in her future, but Miss
Rives must pardon us for suggesting that to
the general musical audience she can afford
additional delight by somewhat clearer and
more distinct and clear cut enunciation of
her words. Miss Kellogg is noted for this,
and it is one of the causes of her great popu
larty with the less technically critical masses,
nor is it at the sacrifice of any rythm, or
phrasing, or ornamentstion. We throw out
this hint to the gifted cantatrice for what it
may be worth and with the motive prompted
by our desire for her entire success.
