brighten them, we could not learn. Two
Or three men, who were passing along
the street, and who had no hand in the as
assault on the house, become excited and
pursued the negro up Third street, the
crowd increasing as it progressed
When the excitement had thoroughly
subsidized, the men who had led the pur-
suit retired quietly to their homes, and
the negro was advised by Mayor Baker
to leave thescity.
The negro has belonged on one of the
caro- packets as hand and the officers
and attaches of the boat represent him
as quiet, civil and inoffensive African.
If assaults have been made upon the
house as represented, the inmates have
unquestionably the right to protect them

or of bad repute, let legal steps be taken
to abate the nuisance, remove the in.
mates and improve the character of the

NEW REGIMENT. John A
Mann, Of Mount Vernon, has been an
pointed commandment of the encampmens
at Vineennes for the new regiment to be
organized in this district. The Governor
hsa made wise election, and if energy
and application can accomplish any
thing toward filling up the regiment, the
work will be rapidly and efectually done.
The large bounties offered by the Gov
eminent ought to induce the organization
Of at least one company in each county.
Unless some unforeseen disaster befals
our armies, the prospect is that the Sc
Ferest of the fighting and hard labor is
over, and the new regiments will be per
nltted a share of the glory, while escap-
ing large amount of the hardships |
which those who have been in the serv-
ce for two years past have been obliged |
20 undergo
a more gentlemanly officer than Col. |
Mann could not be found in the district;
md we have no hesitation in promising
hose who enlist the very best of treat
nent while under his care.

singing Sands and sounding Mountaine.

Thousands of years ago the pillars of
Memnon were famed for giving musical
sounds. Sounds like those of bells have
been heard, at different localities, to come
from the depth of the ocean, and now we
hear of musical mountains and singing
sands.
Five such localities are already on rec
ord. The first is Dschebel Nakus BELL
mountain) upon the peninsula, Sinai, on
the shores Of the Red Sea, northwestward
of the city of Tor. The celebrated travel
er, Seetzen, of Oldenburg, was the first
European savant who assembled it. He
found it consisting of brittle white sand
stone, covered on two sides with loose sand.
This sand when brought into motion, pro-
duces the sound The traveller, when as
cending, passed over this region of loose
sand, and he soon discovered that the noise
it made in gliding down the slope became
by degrees louder and louder. When he
reached the summit such a frightful sound
was heard that it shook the whole noun
tain, and he himself became excited in the
highest degree
Some time afterwards this same noun
tain was visited by Mr. Gay, of Oxford,
and more recently by Mr.. Ward, both
Englishmen. They give very nearly the
same account of this phenomenon. All as
cribe the cause to the fact that the sand
glides down the bare mountain side. Ward
heard at first only feeble tone like that
of the flute; suddenly it became strong,
like that of an organ, and the whole hill be-
gan to vibrate. The sound became louder
in proportion to the quantity of sand set in
motion by the steps of the traveller.
Alexander Burns visited, in 1887, a sim
liar hill. This was the Rey Rawan,s
moving mountain, which is also about 400
feet high. It's ascent is an incline of about
40 degrees, covered with layer of sand
surrounded by still deeper border of lime
and sandstone. Gliding down on this sand
it emits a loud, hollow tone, similar to that
of a great drum. This was already known
in the 18th century. A third mountain of
this kind is the 'El Bramador,' the yelling,
barking mountain in Chill, in regard to
which Charles Darwin made similar obser-
stations.
Charles Mayer, in his book Towards
Sacramento, mentions another to exist in
California, and recently a fifth locality of
this kind has been discovered by Hugh
Miller, upon the small island Eigg, on the
western coast of Scotland. According to
Miller, geologist of great renown, STRAIT
um of oolite exists on this island. This
substance when reduced to sand, becomes
a white, mesly mass Miller observed,
that on every step he took, the sand gave a
peculiar musical sound. 1t is, however,
not proven that oolite sand alone produces
sounds The above mentioned Mr.. Ward
says, that the friction of the sharp-edged
grains of siliceous sand, exposed to the rays
of tropical sun, caused the resonant quail
ity of the sand. We must leave the in
vestigation of this matter to scientific men,
being confident that they will explain the
mystery. To the musician we hope it will
be an interesting musical curiosity.

How BATTLES ARE FoUGHT-Battles
las soldiers know and newspaper editors do
mott are usually, fought, not as they ought
to be fought, but as they can be fought !;
and while the literary man is laying down
in law at his desk as to how many troops
should move here and what rivers ought to
be crossed there, and where the cavalry
should have been turned, the wretched man
who has to do the work finds the matter
settled for him by pestilence, want of shoes,
empty stomachs, bad roads, heavy rains,
hot suns, and thousand other stern war
riors who never show on paper.

SHARP SHooTING.-Two Germans, named
Grab and Block, while shooting at mark,
in Six Mile Canon, N. T., bantered each
other about shooting Grab remarked to
Block that he did not believe his Blocks,
rife would carry thousand feet with ac-
curacy, anyhow. Block replied that il
Grab would station himself at that distance
he would put bullet through his hat
This challenge Grab accepted without a
moments hesitation, and with great cool
ness stepped out and took his station
With equal GOODNESS Block raised his piece
to his shoulder, took deliberate aim, and
pulled trigger 1t is hardly necessary to
say that Grab was slightly astonished when
the bullet whizzed through his hair, knock
ing his hat to the distance Of several yards,
and slightly grazing his hair.
