The Sky an Indicator of the Weather.
The coIors of the sky at particular times AZ
ford wonderfully good guidance. Notonly does
rosy sunset prsssgs fair weather, and rudy
sunrise bad weather. but there are other tints
which speak with equal clearneSs and accuracy.
A bright yellow sky in the evening, indicates
wind; pale yellow, wet; q neutral gray color
constitutes favorable sign in the evening, an
unfavorable one in the morning. The clouds
again are full Of meaning in themselves. If
their forms are soft, underlined and feathery,
the weather win be fine; the edges are hard,
sharp, definite. it viii be foul. Generally spea-
king, any deep, unusual hues betoken wind or
rain; while the more delicate tints bespsak fair
weather. Simple as these maxims are, the
British Board of Trade has thought fit to pub
lish them for the use Of seafaring men.

Cure for the Bite Of a Mad Dog.

A writer in the National Intslligencer says I:
"Spirits of hartshorn is a certain remedy for a
bite of q mad dog. The wound should be
bathed constantly with, and three or four doses
diluted, taken inwardly during the day. The
hartshorn decompoSss chemically the virus in
situated into the wound, and Immediately al
tiers and destroys its deleteriOusness." The
writer, who resided in Brazil for some time,
first tried it for the bite of scorpion, and found
that it removed pain and Inflammation almost
instantly. Subsequently, he tried it for the
bite ofa rattlesnake with similar success. At
the suggestion ofthe writer, an old friend and
physician tried it with cases of hydrOphobia,
and always with success.

The following, though upward Of twenty five
years old, has never, we believe, come to the
eyes of the public through the columns of a
newspaper; and it has the merit of being strict
ly true:
Some twenty-five or thirty years ago, an
Irishman, named Patterson, left Erin's green
isle, to seek home in America. Having
friends in the region of Fair Haven, Ohio, he
made his way thither. Taking dinner one day
at the house Of DR.. P, he was treated to
the American dish, wholly new to him, of green
corn ir the ear. Unwilling, however, to be
thought green himself, or being anxious to dis
play unusual sagacity, after having eagerly de-
voured the savory corn, his appetite still unap-
Psas-ed, he passed up the despoiled cob, with
the very natural request:

On the Cincinnati and Dayton Railroad, the
other day, a lady and gentleman were seated
together, and facing them on the opposite seat
sat two gentlemen, editors of two German pa
psrs. When near Dayton, the train passed
through a long, dark bridge. Amid the thun-
dering and the rafting of the cars, very sus-
picious conclusion was heard BY those nearest
the lady and gentleman alluded to. As they
emerged into the daylight, one of the German
editors slowly drew his spectacles down over
his nose, and eIclsimed--"VeIl, 1 tink dat ish

Nseflll alta Curious.
The Second DsIuge.

A French philosopher has just proved By the
procession Of the equinoIes, that one half Of
this globe was really overwhelmed With food
about thirteen thousand years ago, and that the
other half will experience similar delugs in
about nine thousand ysan more. As We have
no notion of living long enough practically to
test the truth or error ofthis theory (for one or
two thousand years in this world will probably
disgust US with it entirely,) the matter is Of
slight Importance. FIVE did expect to i've un-
til the coming ofthe second deluge, though,
we should pray it to occur in summer, for it is
q dreadfully uncomfortable thing to beimmers-
ed In cold water! The worst Of this French
idea is, its assumption that the old food came
from the icy regions of the North Pole, and
that the new one Is to come from the still icier
regions Of the South Pole. Good heavens,
what frigid prospect It makes US shudder to
think Of the fate Of the poor devils who will
then be living. Floating cakes Of ice will be
their arks. Those who are not drowned will
be frozen to death. The bears will make ice
cream of the sweetest ofthsm. What . de-

The REPUBLICANS IN TRoUBLE.-The New
Hampshire Patriot says the adjournment Of the
Democratic Convention troubles the Black Repub.
licans. 1t will leave their Chicago Convention
without guide or compass. For it was we'll
understood that the action of that Convention
was dependent in great measure upon the action
Of the Democratic Convention. If Douglas had
been nominated at Charleston, the Chicago Con-
veniion would have had one controlling infuence
and one mark to fire at. If Southern man had
been nominated, another influence and another
motive would have controlled them. Asf is,
they have got to rely upon themselves andfto fire
in the dark. They will meet and act in 9tate of
great doubt and uncertainty. ExpediencY is the
controlling principle with them, but the dPubt as
10 what course the Democratic Convention will
pursue, renders it very uncertain as to hat is
expedient in their case. They, thesefore, feel
nervous, and look forward to the meeting Of their
Convention with fear and trembling.
