AFRICAN RAIN-MAKERs. Among the Wanikas, on
the Eas. coast of Africa are certain families which
lay claim to a power OF causing 1T to rain, and
maintain that this great secret be transmitted
from father to This hereditary dignity of
rain-making gives them great Importance among
the people, which naturally leads them to do their
utmost to encourage the belief. Observing care
fully the state of the weather, and knowing from
long experience about the time when the earliest
rain is fall they forthwith call upon the chiefs to
offer up sacrifice. These again command the peo-
pie to make Zansi, e., to contribute to the pur-
chase of a COW sheep for the rain sacrifice. If
the rain comes of course ascribed to the power
of the rain maker; but if it does not, the cunning
rain-maker manages to get up another sacriiee,but
fixes ON such color for the sacrificia animal that
some time must eapse before a suitable one can be
found Meanwhile the rain comes down, and the
cheat has got out of the difficulty. The ran-makers
seem, too, TO have kind of thermometer, made of
peculiar wood, which they place in the water,
and observe, moreover the course of the clouds,
which are generally drawn to the SUBMITS of the
mountains There are, however, many Wanikas
who look upon ran-m making as mere mateso, or ar
tfce and as tradition without the least founda-
ton in reality.
| A SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMsrANCE-Several days ago
box arrived at Adams Express Office, in this city,
directed to Charles Wilson. The box was sent to
Mr.. Wilson, member of the City Council from the
| Seventh Ward On being opened it was found to
contain about $50 in foreign coin, and complete
set of burglars tools, comprising picks, files saws
/
tectve officer Allen, who emptied the box and sub
stiuted nails in the stead of real contents he then
carried it back to the Express Office, and had it
watched. Yesterday it called for by " nice
young man. who took the box up street, and open
ing it, found the nails. Some of them he put into
his pocket, and then threw the box away. An Off
Ger had been following him, and Immediately laid
hands on him, and took him to the office OF Justice
Dom, who was compelled to dismiss the case in
consequence of lack of evidence of criminaity.
There is no doubt but the man is professional
burglar, and had he received the tools, and they
been found on him, he would probably have been
committed; but the simple fact of obtaining the
box from the Express Office, although to all intents
and purposes indicating that the man who obtained
in the eye of the law for his commttal. The box
came from Petersburg, Va Washington States,

Forrest.-To-night, the third of the appearance of
Mr.. Forrest in Baltimore, win be one o: great
attraction at Holiday Street Theatre The play is
VTgintus, and Mr.. Forrest, many will remember
who have seen him in the past makes the charac-
ter of the noble Roman his own, and carries us
back to the stirring scenes in the Forum. Mr..
Forrest has been well received by our citizens and
he has never appeared to better advantage. He
has the same welknit frame, the same easy bear
ing, the same striking face, the steady and
unfaltering step, the noble, melodious voice,
that have so often reused and thrilled his audiences
during more than thirty years of professional life.

FRONT STREET THEATRE.-To-night is set apart
for the benefit of Mr.. Roberts. He is an actor of
excellent points, fine taste, and enthusiastic de-
voice to his profession, throwing his whole pow
ers into whatever character he assumes, and rarely
fails to satisfy the most astidious theatrical critics.
The character of MephistophIes, in the spectacular
drama from Goethes Faust and Marguerite is partic-
ulary adapted to him, and is brought out with great
force and effect. The piece will be performed
again this evening-to be followed by a farce.

WAsHNeTos, April 25.--As the first leg
slative step on the subject which has been
privately discussed during the past siT
months, Mr.. Morris, Of Illinois, win urge the
passage Of a resolution appointing Mr.. Orr,
Of 5. o., Gen. Doniphan, Of Mo-, and Gov.
Wood, Of ILL.,, Commissioners 10 negotiate
with the Mormons for the sale Of their pos-
sessions, on the express condition that they
remove within reasonable time from the
limits and jurisdiction Of the United States.
The Commissioners are 10 make their report
to the President NJ the next session of Con-
gress.
The ground for this movement is 70 pre-
vent n recurrence of war and bloodshed, as
the history of the Mormons in Missouri and
Illinois shows that they can not, owing 10
their peculiarities, live on terms Of peace and
good neighborhood with contiguous settle
ments. It is also treated as question OF
economy to the treasury.
Mr.. Burlingame, from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, viii report bill In accord
ance with his resolution, asking for q first
class mission TO Sardinia, the Envoy to re-
ceive $4,000 and the Secretary of Legation
$l,S00. The Sandman Charge d. Afdiyes Is
delighted with the movement.
Railroad officials state that large amount
of bills on the Clinton Bank Of Westernport,
Maryland, broken concern, are being forced
upon the unwary, and il is believed that 9
large amount is being sent into the West.

The NEW FRANKLIN RESEARCH ExPEDI-
TIoN-lYFoRMAL MEETING AT THE BURNET
HOUsE.-An informal meeting of a number
of our citizens was held last night in the La
dies Ordinary at the Burnet House, for the
purpose of listening TO detailed account, by
Mr.. O. +. Hail. Of the manner in which he
expected to prosecute his researches for the
remains Of the late Sir John Franklin's Ex-
ploring Expedition. Mr.. ii. had q number of
charts and maps upon which he pointed out
the route he intended to take, and also gave
succinct account of the discoveries already
made in the Arctic regions.
He expects to leave the city in week or
two, and sail from New London, Connecticut,
in the ship George Henry Sidney o. Bud
dington, master, on the 29th prox., for Nor
thumberland Inlet, where he will disembark
and pursue his journey under the guidance
of half-a-dozen Esquimaux whom he has al
ready selected for the purpose, He win be
absent three or four years, and during that
time will visit King Williams Land, and
learn, If possible, the fate of Franklin and
his men. He seems quite sanguine Of sue
cess, and doubtless will carry with, him the
best wishes of the civilized world. LUJ
After he had concluded, a vote of thanks
was unanimously rendered him at the sug-
gestion OF Colonel Johnston, and upon mo-
tion of Miles Greenwood, o committee OF
sisting of Miles Greenwood, John W. Ellis,
John b. Jones, G. H. Hill and George Domi-
nick, to collect funds to aid in the outfit Of
the expedition. Before the meeting ad-
journed Professor Il. p. Christy made a few
remarks upon the geology of the country,
showing that in the Arctic region, at the time
of the coal period, there must have been a
tropical climate. Mr. Force also addressed
the meeting for q few moments, after which
it dispersed, apparently considerably inter
ested in the manner In which the evehinp
had been spent as well as the proposed ex'
pedition Of Mr. Hall,
