There is uow in L ndon a gentleman who has a charming family ot pt nakes harmless, ot course. This geD tlemn'e name I Mann. He is a profes sor of music, and lives in Cheync Wa k. Ubelse. Mr. 31ann called on me a day or two ego at my office, and rtqiestei aie to give him astsiatauce, as ho had got into a bother with Im neighbor about keeping snakes. Anxious t be ol service to ini8 ev- tleman, I called at his houstf to exarau e his snakery. lie placed in the middle I the room a lars ox, wincu was crc fnllv locked.

This modern snake charmer tnn Givea. ui usuu iuu w brought out an exceedingly brown col ored snake. The bead is remarsaDiy pretty and lizard-like, and it has trie power Of moving toe neau tiij huj trom tide to side ; the eye is a.so re markably bri'liaut. This suako was broueht from Jamracb ; it is called a Lscertine, aud comes iroin me o Mogador, Korth Africa ; it is perfectly harmless. Mr. Mann has had the Lac- ertine aoou; iweuiy mvuiua. " - pretty elegant creature. It feeds on white mice. Mr. Mann then showed me the gem ox his collection. It is a remarkably nand- some BraBilian boa, measuring between five and six teet long, and weigmng from twelve to fourteen pounds. The name of this snake is Cleo, short for Cleopatra. Continual handling ana petting hai caused this snaae w wunur most remarkably tame, and I think there can be no doubt she knows indi viduals. When placed on the table Cleo would not come to me at all, but elided away to her master, who was aittmg at the opposite smeoi iu aud, stretching her body from the table to the chair, gradually pulled her long lencth ou to him. She then gimea up his right side, ana wiuw -- round hi neck, placing ur to her master' face. l tnere sue -m minutes.

I was the origin ot the word ooa ij vieu videntlv enjoyed the fan ? the cnifdrcn. It was very curious to see these two little children encircled in Cleo's ponderous folds, reminding me much ot the celebrated , statue of the Laocoon ; tnd, U I recollect rightly, the marble children in the itatue are repre sented as about the same age and km as Mr. Mann's two cbi.dreu. Cleo is a particular favorite of Mrs. Manu's, and I saw a Tery nice photo graph of her, with Cleo coiled around hermck. I subsequently saw Mrs. Mann in this attitude with her pet snae. k her kio seYeral times. Cloe . .. . ..marV that ibelllid and it is cunoua nwini- - her skin ten times , in two years. Mr. Mann has the lt fkin shed. It is quite peifecr, and as thin as tissue paper; and I should think it wold make a pood pitern for fancy lace work, Cleo iveds principally on pigeons.. It a pigeon is put into ber cage, and she is BOtDTlBgry, she seems to maka irienda-. with the pigB&n, IS mil MTM AMtm U a ii. 8honld, however, a fresh pigeon be put into her cage, she will devour it m stantly.' She feeds once a iortnight, and two pigeors will about last her for that time. Mr. Mann has observed that, when let loose, Cleo always tries to climb upward, whereas the Licertine always seeks the ground. Cleo most certainly knows her master and mistrets. Oi c, when tb y went out of town, Cleo- was left behind. She pined, and would not teev! daring their absence. When Mr. and Mrs. Mann returned, after six weeks. absence, Cleo, on bearing her oi 6tres voice, instantly rushed out of her box, coiled herself round her, and kissed her face. 8he evidently recognized her kind friend an protector. Mr. Mann has aleo another large In dian python, but this snake is not very well, and has private apartments to itself in a leather carpet bag. Th siakes will feed out of Mi. Mann's hand. The common snakes eat frogs, and trogs only; the L-Hcertine ears white uaic; thepython delights in guinea pig?. Altogether, I was exceedingly pleased with Mr. Mann's collection ol snakes. By his veiy euccesful snake taming he has opened up quite a new chupur in natural history, and has shown what persevering kindness wil do in taming snakes, poor creatures, which have buhrto been thought to have little or no intelligence. iGSTABLISHED 1845.
