driven from the bushes and shallow holes
by the smoke, rushed over the ground to a
hole which seemed TO lead directly into the
center of the largest rock Of the pile. The
snakes, nearly frantic from fright, darted
into the hole one after another with remark
able rapidty, the big ones forcing the
others inside and monopolizing the means
of escape. As the fire drew nearer the rush
ofsnakes became greater. 1t was perfect
stampede of reptiles The utmost confusion
took possession of the escaping things;
Zig snakes Kissed defiance at the approach
ing flames, but did not stop a
moment; little snakes darted under
small stones and pieces of fallen
logs, only to be driven out again
by the heat. One mOnstrOus serpent, in
trying to crawl through the hole in the
rocks, stuck fast half of his body hanging
outside. The other snakes squirmed about
the struggling victim of his own size in Q
frghtful way, striking the defenceless tail
and writhing together nearly foot deep as
the fire crowded them against tie wall OF
stone. The fire swept up the summit with
n rush, and rs it came upon the living mass
it seemed as though a thousand snakes
leaped high in the air and struck tiercey at
the bursts of flame, only to fall, writing
and helpless, into the fire. The sight oil
the air full of snakes ana fire proved too
much for the lone spectator and with a
howl of terror he rushed down the noun
tain in breathless haste.-[ Philadelphia

who had his leg badly broken on last Sat
urday by horse running away, is doing
much better than expected.
Frequent hail storms have occurred in
this section recently, but no widespread
damage has been done.
Since the calling of the democratic state
convention, the political cauldron begins
to boil. 0fprospective candidates for gov
ernor, John Ireland has more enthusiastic
supporters and less opposition than any yet
named. His superior ability and spotless
record render him the first choice of those
who know his past history. The many
thousand friends Of Governor Hubbard
have not yet gained his consent 10 enter
the gubernatorial race. lie is now being
strongly urged 10 allow tue use OF ms name
for congress from the third (new) district,

the most popular man in its limits.
County candidates are quiet, but work

Plenty of rain and farmers up with their

THE PILE OF ROCKS.
Since the days when the Hrst settlers
chased the Indians from the broad and fer
tile alley and played long game against
pant hers and bears and wolves, the great
rocks have had few visitors. Although the |
top of The great pile is Keynote to one of
the finest pictures III the Quaker state, yet
no photographer has ever shown the hardl- |
hood to plant camera ON the extreme |
sommt. The place beals bad reputation.
For miles around the rocks are Synonymous |

Sol Smith Russell,

This distinguished comedian, who viii
appear at the opera house Saturday night,
25th inst, has lately played wonderfully
successful engagements in Chicago, St.
Louis and Cincinnati. The Chicago Even
ing Journal says:
In particular line of humorous repre-
sensations, the portrayal of peculiar eccen-
trio characters drawn from very-day life
aud experience, Sol S Nth Russell is with
out rival. His mimetic powers are une-
qualed, his facial expression is really won
derful. and these, aided by keen sense of
the ludicrous and ridiculous, make him
prime favorite with those VIII, go the
theatre to be amused. He cannot appear
before an audience without imparting to it
his own good nature, of which he seems to
possess never failing supply. Last night
he appeared III new play written for him,
entitled "Edgewood Folks" The scene is
laid in Connecticut and New York City, and
the story is of an attempt by couple of
villains to secure fortune which has ap-
parently fallen to Clergyman. The TT
of Tom Dilloway, good natured, yer atile,
erratic, comical sort of fellow, is taken by
Mr.. Russell. In the first act picnic gives
him the opportunity to appear in several
characters. Later IN the play he assumes
DISCUSSES to find ont the vlllainy. His ap-
pearance was always the signal for laughter
to spre I'd from the orchestral circle to the
remotest corner of the galleries. The story
is interesting, and the parts are well taken,
but the principal interest was of MIR Rus
sell, of whom the audience did not tire.
The house was quite large.
1t seems impossible that remedy made
of such common, simple plants as Hops,
Buchu, Mandrake Dandelion, &c, should
M Ike so many and such great cures as Hop
Bitters do; but when old aud young, rich
and poor, pastor and doctor, lawyer and
editor, all testify to having been cured by
them, you must believe and try them your
self, and doubt no longer

There was brought to close yesterday,
before Justice Allison, an investigation CON-
Stunning good portion OF two days, into
the facts Of desperate hand to hand rem
cont,e which took place Monday night,
between Andrew Upton and JEFF
Woodine, colored men living in Moses
Town. Domestic infeicity seems to have
been the origin, and, as is often true,
there was woman in the case. From
the evidence it seems that they fought
desperately for time, but Woodfine seems
to have gotten decidedly the worst of it.
Upton chopped him in the heal with an
axe, fracturing his skull, bit or out off a
portion of one year, and other
wise belabored him, till he was almost
dead, but he was able to appear for trial
Upton had some injuries, though not neal
SO serious.
Upton was represented by Maj. E. G.
Camp, and Woodfne by Mr.. r. A. Steele.
After full investigation, both were bound
over to Criminal Court, and each gave
bond.

Nothing builds up shattered constitutions
30 quickly as Browns Iron Bitters
A Lively Set To

Yesterday evening three negro youths had
quite lively set to, on Pine street, East
Knoxville. It seems that one was drunk
and another wanted to take him home, but
the third wanted to bring him to town.
The two got to pulling and hauling around
at lively rate, and finally resorted to
stones, which they made good use of for a
little time. The two eventually clinched,
and the third came in with
knife, which he made free use of, cutting
one of the boys several times in the arm
and hand, infiic.ing painful, though not Sc
rious wounds. The boy that did the cutting
started to run for dear life, but leaped right
int the arms of Policeman Mason, who
took him on to headquarters. The
wounded one went to have his wounds
dressed
