A SHOWER OF MAMMA.

Do not be incredulous. reader, when we
inform you that on Monday last, at the foot
of Clear Lake in this county, shower of
sugar candy fell, covering a large tract of
country. 1t covered everything-leaves
of trees, rocks, and the earth's surface
alike. When discovered by the inhabitants
the next morning, part of it was of the
consistency of syIup, aud the rest of per-
fcctly crystalizcd as the candy of the shops.
Its taste is precisely similar to that of un-
favored candy. Mr. J. Hale, the Clear
Lake expressman, saw it while on the
ground, and collected box as samples,
which he brought to US. There is no mis-
take about the matter, as the public may
learn for themselves, by calling at our
Office. The, specimens before US are gen
orally irregularly crystalized. rounded at
one end and irregular in form at the other.
as if broken off from some surface to which
they adhered. They are from one-fourth
to fve-eighths of an inch in length, some
pure white. and others of a delicate pink
hue. Their general appearance is that of
very small stalagmities, such as we have
often seen in caves.
A similar shower occurred at Salt Lake,
some years since. Naturalists pretend to
explain such phenomena by saying that
such saccharine showers are Of insect ori
gin; but their explanations seem even more
improbable than the fact itself-the latter
being we'll attested, and the former a mere
theory to excuse ignorance of Natures

HE OF all the victims of speculatiV

~ Of all the victims of speculative
follies or faults, there is, in times like these,
least sympathy for those who have played
game against the suffering consumers, of
the necessaries of life, and have lost their
stakes by the venture. While the poorest
householder, even the widow with her
orphan children was paying enormous and
totally unreasonable prices for her small
supplies ofsugar or molasses-paying prices
which could be iIl-aforded,-these articles
were stored by the acre upon the wharyes
of Boston, New York and Philadelp phia,
kept up at famine prices by the operations
of spectators, sustained, in many instances
by banks, who we are happy to say, have
shared in the losses Of their misery producing
pets. -....r... .s...-.......
Upon no class of articles has the reduction
of price been SO great as in that of sugar
and molasses. Think of the price of sugars
ruling in the beginning and middle of the
year, and then bear in mind that, within a
week past, cargo Of sugar has been sold
at rates averaging under four cents per ID.
Such a sudden cave-in never has been
known.

A SUPERsTITIoN.-The causes of the re-
volt against the British power in India has
been subject of curious and difficult study.
The English find it is as difficult to ascer-
tain those causes as to put down the rebel
lion. 1t has transpired that two phrophe-
cies or supernatural traditions long current
among the native population point to an
end of the British sway at this period of
time.
No matter how purile in themselves. these
superstitions have undoubtedly a great in.
fuence upon the people of Hindostan, and
will have more and more, as they seem near
being realized. One of these notions is
that the Loh-i-noor diamond will ever be
fatal to its possessor-as misfortune has
attended its course hitherto. The other
tradition is that the British should rule in
India for hundred years and no more
The koh-i-noor is in the cornet of Queen
Victoria, and the British power was estab-
ished in 1857.

The CAMEL EXPERIMENT.-The latest
advices received here concerning the pro-
gress and promise of the camel experiment
of the Government in its military operations
on the frontier, continues to confirm the
highest hopes of its friends. From the day
to this hour the experiment has proved an
eminently successful one until the exper-
fence had with them beasts OF burden
has been such that all concerned in their
management and use are unanimously of
opinion that they suit, as beasts of burden,
the requirements of our great western
plains as we'll as those of Asia and Africa.
In persevering to obtain from Copsress the
means of making these experiments, and in
his sagacious arrangements to consummate
them to the best advantage, the late Secre-
tary of War has certainly conferred bene-
fit on his country second to none other for
which the nation has so far been indebted
to gentleman in similar official position.
In twenty five years hence camel trains
will be we'll nigh as common in the far west
of the United States as on the most travelled
routes of the East. By this time next year
they will doubtless be imported on private
account, and in actual use by citizens cross
ing the great North American desert. AS
yet, the national advantages to result from
this idea of Secretary Davis arc not to be
calculated.
