SINGULAR PHssnMgHoS.-Capt. Brscoe,
OF The steamer Tishomingo, says that on
Thursday, while the boat was OH her way
up to this part, one of the strongest possi-
ble sights presented itself 10 the eyes ofall
ON beard.
The Goat was about severiy-hye miles
from Louisville. Suddenly at one side OF
the boat, and not more than forty feet dis
tant, the wafer in the river boiled up for
space Of forty feet square, and to height
not less than ten feet. l, boiled and bub'
bed at fearful rate, and Kissed and foam
ed like thousand boiling cauldrons. Then
there came up to the surface light and
very porous substance of dark color,
which was so light as to float on The river,
its upper edge fully TWO feet above the lev
ell Of the river. Some of the passengers
were very considerably alarmed, il not
absolutely frightened. On their account
Capt. B., did not stop TO collect any of the
floating substance. We wish he could
have done so. ], might have led to some
important revelation.
Can any one give certain cause for
such an unusual and unexpected phenomc-
non Are we to have a volcano in the
middle Of the Ohio, rising up from the
bowels Of the earth and vomiting forth its
fame and lava? We are at loss to as.
cribe it TO any cause other than volcanic
operation. Will some Of our scientific men
take the matter into consideration ?-Louis.

HThe Hop at the Atlantic House
Monday evening was a brilliant affair (; it
was numerously attended by beautiful
young ladies' and gallant gentlemen. The
ladies' were elegantly and tastefully array
ed, and every thing passed off in fine style.
We were sorry to hear of very rude con-
duct on the part of some persons from some
OF the other hotels, by crowding people out
Of their places at the windows on the piaz-
"a. Such conduct is not indicative Of good
breeding.

BLESSINGS OF povERTY.-IIear what

BLESSINGS OF PovERTY.-IIear what a
distinguished writer says on the subject:
Poverty is the nurse Of manly n,rgy
and heaven climbing thoughts, attended by
love, and faith, and hope, around whose
steps the mountain breezes blow. and from
whose countenanco oil the virtues gather
strength. Look around you upon the dis
tinguished men that in every department Of
life guide and control the tines, and inquire
what was their origin and what was their
early fortune. Were they, as a general
rule, rocked and dandled in the lap Of
wealth No, sach men cine ge from the
homes Of decent eompstcnce or struggling
poverty. Necessity sharpens their facul-
ties, and privaiion a ID sacrifice brace their
moral nature. Trey learn the great art Of
remuneration, and enjoy the happiness Of
having few wants. They knw nothing of
ind ference or safety. There is not an idle
fibre ia their frames. They put the yipor
OF resolute purpose into every act. The
edge Of their minds is always kept sharp.
In the school. Of life, men like these meet
the softly nurtured dsrlings Of prosperity as
the iron meets The vessel Of porcelain.

Qua NATIONAL DEBr-Wbile we are
boasting Of our surplus Of twenty two mil
lions in tho Taeasury, and our small debt
Of fifty millions, it is we'll enough to note
the fact that the amount Of claims already
prepared for the Court in Washington is
over three hundred millions, exclusive Of
the French SpolIation bill, which claims
five millions. We opine that many claims
will be thrown out OF Court, which was
established, not for the purpose ofspending
ibe public money by satisfying imaginary
claims, bot merely as an expeditions vehicle
for the settlement OF disputed accounts.
