CURIOUS PHENOMENON OF THE
ATCHAFALAYA RIVER.

CURIOUS PHENOMENON OF THE
ATCHAFALAYA RIVER.
"L.'G." writes to the NJ onroe 1ntelli-
gencer BIS follows
Permit me to bring to your notice. and
that Of your readers, q curious incident,
which took place IN the 9th day of July
last on the Atcbsfalaya river, and was
related to me three OF four days after
wards with all THE circumstances. At
about twelve O'Clock, midday, the wealth
er was very sultry and perfectly calm !;
there was no breeze astir, not q leaf
moved uuder the slightest breath Of the
gentlcst zyphyr /; no clouds were noticed
IN the heavens. and yet q great noise
wal heard as the roaring Of many waters,
proceeding from the river itself. The
manager Of Mr.. r. G. Tessier's planta-
tion, half . mile above Simmsport and
about five miles from the mouth of the
Atchsfalaya, drove up the river to ascer-
tain the cause of the rumblfng noise, ex-
pectiog to 6ud on extraordinary land
slide in tho river. Great was was his
astonishment, when he saw the bank per-
fecrly intact but the waters much agitat.
cd and rolling in. waves about ten feet
in height upon each bank Of the river.
The agitation continued down stream,
and in front of Mr.. Testers place rose
in waves four feet high. A raft was Sc
cured at bis saw-milI below by q rope one
inch and . half in dismetar. the waye
rolled over it and between the timbers.
lashing the water about four feet above
it, to the great anxiety Of the engineer.
who expected every moment to See it
adrift.
In about half an hour the phenomenon
ceased and everything became calm
again. The agitation extended half q
mile above the plantation and ended be-
low the saw-mili. t@ 4LlF37rFIt
What was the cause OF this commo.
ton /? It could not be q storm, as every
thing was calm ; it could not be an earth.
quake. no comtaotion of the earth was
felt /; it could not be . water-spout. as no
clouds appeared, and there was 20 agi-
tation in the air. What was it.? / in.
CURED whether similar phenomena had
been noticed before ; l was told that Ct.
teen years ago one was noticed on bayou
des Glsizes; at q distance of four miles
q northwestern direction ; it was attri.
buted then to an earthquake. l inquired
whether the Atchafalaya had ever been
sounded here. I was answered that a
few years ago, after o land slide in front
Of Mr.. Collins plantation, two miles
above. ~soundings were taken ; the water
was very low in The rivee' yet the sound.

GOVERNOR WORTH.

The Wilmington Journal publishes the Address Of
Gov. worth, announcing himself a. candidate for
reelection TO the ofii.s Of Gswmor at the coming
election. and ssys:
We have heard through rumor. the
names Of two. gentlemen, one OF whom
would probably be the opponen. VI Gov.
Worth. AT tks distance We are from the
Head Centre Of cliques, eaucuses and con-
yentions-Raieigh--we cannot tell what
is the condition Of the political slate.
This we do know that QUE present Exec
uiive has performed his srduous duties 10
the trying emergencies through which ve
are passing with marked ability, and. So
far as we have heard. with unanimous ap-
probation. Differing with Cor. Worth
in politics so radically as We have, We
could not be expected. in every instance,
TO endorse all he has. done, but we must
confess that he has done, by an hnnest
and able administration Of his office and
by regarding himself as the representative
Of the people and not Of party, in al
most every instance, met cur unqualified
approval, and We are to-day mUs con.
WINGED Of his eminent fitness Tor his exal-
ted and responsible position. than when
We. in November last, cheetfully gave him
our vote.

straightforward dealing with the admins

liege our people, and we believe North
Carolina is indebted 10 him for being 10 a

their welfare is 10 good and safe Keeping,
are deyoting themselves 10 the work Of
retrievingl their former prosperity with
commetdabis zeal. and we hope they will
not be drawh from their great work By an

Look OUT rDR THE STAMPS. Us

People Who give receipts fse money paid.
and everybody does IL, should make note
u the result Of . trial which took place in
New York the other day. and which shows
how perilous . thing . neglect 70 put
stamps upon papers which require them
may become. Many persons have fallen
into the error Of snpposing that IL paper
IS not stamped the omis.iun may be rect
lied at any time at very little expense.
This is not correct. There was provision
made Tor violating unstamped papers. made
and issued before the passage os the act of
1864. upon compliance with certain psovi-
sions. Similar provision Is made ia the
amendment act of 1865 upon condition
lha, The party direIict pay ESQ and inte-
rest. at SIX per cent on the stamp. II the
eo.t Of the latter is more than $50 Bus
IN addition 10 thi~ there is an actual pen.
ally. which may be enforced against ana
one who issues sos,amped paper. Under
the act of 1864 il vas $500 in all c,ses.
Under the amsndej &C: Of 1885 il remains
$500 Dpon acceptors and payers Of fescign
