Notwithstanding the fact that the OPP
pressive heat and superabundanco Of
dust would admonish one TO remain at
home and keep quiet in order to keep
cool, yet we observe that there is little or
no diminution in travel on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad. The congeni-
atty of spirit and the afrability of man
ner that characterize the gentlemanly
corps of Conductors who officer the trains
on that road, and the punctuslity TO time
and dispatch in business, cannot fail to
render that important and indispensable
thoroughrare popular both with the bust
ness man and pleasurc-soeker. We con-
graduate the company on securing the
services OF such men as Fish 9. HENRY,
WIN. TAYLOR, Tom. BERRY, VIM. Knox,
and VIM. SWEENEY. Notwithstanding the
many mishaps and drawbacks to the road
from guerrilla raids, there are still good
locomotives and comfortable cars, and
likely to continue TO be.

During the late exhibition of Van Am
burgh's menagerie at Monongahela City,
a fearful and exciting scene occurred. 1t
appears that shortly after the audience
had assembled, a terrific storm aross
which tore the canvas into rags and
threatened serious injury to the specta-
tors. While the Storm King roared and
revelled, one of the huge tigers got out Of
his cage, which added new terror to the
scene. The vast assembly swayed from
side TO side, first to that part of the tent
which had been blown off, and then to
the main entrance.
Some jumped from the top of the seats
out through the opening between the top
aud the circular inclosure; others cut
themselves passage through the canvas,
and all rushed with alarm for any place
Of escape, preferring to brave the storm
to stalking their chance for life amid the
crashing timbers and furious wild beasts
Women shrieked for help, and children
cried; strong men looked pale, and TAX
ing the confusion the multitude, and
the raging of the storm, the scene was
fearful and appalling.
The keepers of the animals stood by
the cages Of these wild denizens of tho
woods and jungles with anxious looks.
The man who kept the elephant Hannibal
stood in front of the huge brute with his
hands upon his tusks, as pale as a corpse,
One Of the lions had partaken of the eX-
element and his glaring eye-balls, erect
posture, and extended and flowing name,
gave an idea of how he looks in his ma
tive forest, The tiger which had escaped
from his cage, was driven back by Mr..
Van Amburg into the same cage with this
lion, and the king Of the woods had put
his huge paw upon him, and was holding
him tight upon the floor. Nature, grand
and terrible, was no exhibition at this
show.
After some moments of fearful cOnfu-
sion the storm ceased, and the audience
separated, but not until several had been
injured from being tvampled on and
bruised in the general confusion which
prevailed. The editor of the Republican
from whom we get the above account
fixes the damage done to dresses and
bonnets alone, at two thousand dollars.

A CoNFIRAfED GRUMBLER.-Some time
ago there lived in Edinburg a we'll
known grumbler named Sandy Black,
whose often-recurring fits of spleen or
indignation propuced some amusing
scenes of scnseless irritability, which
were highly relished by all except the
brute's good, patient little wife. One
morning Sandy rose bent on a quarrel (;
the haddies and eggs were excellent,
done to n tune, and had been ordered by
himself the previous evening; and
breakfast passed without the looked for
cause of complaint.
gS"What will you have for dinner San

"A chicken, madam" said the husband.
"Roastor boiled Y' asked the wife,
"Confound il, madam, if you had been
a good and considerate wife, you'd nave

growled out, and slamming the door be-
hind him, he left the house. 1t was in

ent heard the little wife say, "Saudy's
bent on a disturbance to-day; | shall
not please him, do what | can"
The dinner time came, and Sandy and
his friend sat down to dinner; tue fish
was eaten in silence, and, on raising the
cover of the dish before him, in tower
ing passion he called out boiled chick

Immediately the cover was raised for
another chicken roasted TO a turn.

The Rebels want Clear weather TO
Fight In.

From The Richmond Wing, I'm instant
MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES.
We have heard a Ancirul man delare
that the Confederate arms never achieved
a complete triumph except on clear day.
We knew an intelligent gentleman who
predicted last summer that the Yankees
would turn the tables on US so soon as the
weather became cold. His prediction
was based on actual observation Of the
variable capacity for labor Of the Irish
and Dutch, Of which the Yankee armiea
are mainly composed, during hot and cold
weather Beginning with the battle Of
Bethel, which occurred on the 10th of
June-a beautiful day-Our arms met
with succession Of triumphs throughout
the summer and until the battle Of
Drainesville, which happened in cold
weather. After DrAinosvillo there was
nothing but a succession of reverses
throughout the winter months, until Shi-
lob, which was fought on a warm, clear
Sunday. The next day--a miserable
rainy MOnday--wo were conn elled TO
abandon most Of our captures Of the day
before. Since Shiloh and the setting in
of warm weather our arms have been again
victorious, almost without a reverse of
any consequence.
Without drawing any general principle
from these facts, it may be well for us to
inquire whether the natives Of the South
are not better able to bear its heats than
foreigners accustomed to less enerva-
ing climate. The conclusion we draw is
the same drawn by the press of the coun-
try generally, on other grounds, viz: TO
push the war with vigor, to make hay
while the sun shines. July, at least half
of it. August, September and October
months Of sunshine and warmth-remain
TO us. During these months, it is fair 10
presume that the Southern soldier can
fight his best--far better than when the
blasts of autumn and winter have chilled
his blood and numbed his muscles.
Shall these months pass idly by? We
believe not. Our authorities will make
glad the hearts of the people, and make
sure our independence, by ordering every
General in the field TO press with vigor
on, to strike while the iron is hot, to
make hay while the sun shines, and cease
not till fire and sword are carried beyond
! the Ohio and Potomac.

OEE OF THE SAD INCIDENTS OF THE
WAR-A correspondent writing from
Harrison's Landing, July 11th, mentions
a peculiarly distressing incident Of the
late battles before Richmond. The Troy
regiment was drawn up in line Of battle,
awaiting an attack from the enemy, when
a rebel soldier was seen TO emerge from
the woods and come in the direction Of
the regiment. His object was unknown,
and as he carried his arms and accOut-
erments it was not even guessed at by
those 10 whom he was looking in the
confidence of brother. Some one drew
up and shot him through the bowels as
he came within firing distance. As he
fell he called for surgeon, and begged
that his life might be saved. he said
that he was good Union men-that the
old Gag was his ilag-and though he was
fighting against il, il was upon cOmpul-
sion. He had been forced to Join a Mis-
sissippi regiment, and was in the act Of
escaping TO the Northern troops when
he was shot The poor fellow drew from
his bosom a little picture Of the " Star
Spangled Banner" which he said he car
ried for year, But, alas, surgical skill
could not avail him. lie died in short
time, beneath the old flag at last, Just as
he hoped the day of his deliverance had
come,-Troy Times
