A French professor casts this lugubrious horo-
scope of earch:
"Our earth will become a moon. Once earth
was soft and diffused substance it then became
an incandescent and luminous sphere next very
solid globe, liquid within; it is now an obscure
planet, thick and gradually cooling, with fire in
its bosom, but bathed on its surface by water and
ambient vapors One of these days its inner fires
will be extinguished; its atmosphere and ocean
will have evaporated and earth will reyolve
through space an inert icy mass. It will then be
like the moon, where organic life is extnguished
where silence reigns; where extraordinary cold
weather is followed withoutl transition by exces-
siyely hot weather. sae5a
The moon once had its atmosphere, its volca-
noes, its inner fires and its humid belt. The same
law governs the destnies of all the SUMS satellites
Each of them upon breaking from the common
mass began to cool so much the more rapidly as
its volume was smaller. The earth being forty
nine times larger than the moon, cools forty-nine
times slower than it, but like it, does cool. Al
ready the oceans have lost the ftieth part of their
original volume, and they will have entirely dis
| appeared before the solid crust of the earth is
seventy-fve miles thick. When this day comes
there will be no animated creatures, no trace OF
animal or vegetable life on this globe. Icy nights
will follow torrid days In the course of time this
will be the fate of the sun and all the solar system.
But it will be thousands of millions of years before
the earth reaches this state.

The Marine Hospital.


Tie first case Of cholera admitted to the Marine
Hospital, which, under the control of the military
authorities, is assigned exclusively to negroes,
was admitted on the 28th july five days before
the disorder appeared in the Charity Hospital.
The entire number of patients in the hospital yes
terday was 283, among which were 20 cases of
cholera all apparently doing we'll. The whole
number Of deaths in the institution from cholera,
up to yesterday afternoon was l06, which have
not been included in the returns to the Board of
Health, because the person charge of the grave
yard, in which interments from the hospital are
made, does not report to that body. The number
of cholera cases, in the establishment, that have
been cured, is 28.
There are 80 smallpox patients in tie hospital,
many of whom are convaIescent.
The actual figures as to the number Of wounded
negroes taken to the hospital on the day of the
riot, show how grossly this as well as other facts
connected with that affair have been distorted
and exaggerated. The number Of wounded re-
ceived in the institution was l33 Of which II died
50 were discharged cured, and the remainder are
recovering.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.--At a recent meeting oi

gested that it would be well to take advantage O
the Atlantic telegraphto determine with precision
the longitude OF the American terminus. There
was reason to make haste, he said, because, there
were very few chances of the transmissions last

produced piece of heavy telegraph cable which
had been FIVE years at the bottom of the British
Channel. The exterior metallic covering was

STEAMER CREoIE.-It will be seen by reference
to the advertisement of Messrs. Leach & Perkins,
agents of the above elegant low pressure steamer,
that on account of necessary repairs and receiv-

cease to ply, heretofore, between this city and
the watering places. Due notice will be given by
Messrs. Leach & Perkins to the patrons of this
fayorite light draft steamer, as soon as the com.

A curious calculation has been made lately by a
Sauam well known in Paris by his peculiar an
tipathy to the fly. He COLLECTED three thousand
flies in a room measuring two cubic metres; on
the floor he spread pound ofsloaf sugar. At the
end of four days he went in to investigate the re-
snlt of his experiment. There remained table
spoonful of sugar. This statistician, therefore,
calculates, sugar being at the rate of thirteen
cents pound, a fly costs the country twenty
cents from its birth to its demisa.

THE LARGEST DESCRIBED SNAKE.-SIr. Speke,
in his work on the discovery of the sources Of the
Nile, thus describes the death of a snake of the
boa species. shot by his travelling companion,
Captain Grant: :. l shuddered as / looked upon
the effects of his tremendous dying strength. For
yards around where he lay, grass and bushes and
saplings, and in fact everything except the more
fully grown trees we're cut clean off, as though
they had been trimmed with an immense scythe.
This monster, when measured, was fifty-one feet,
two and half inches in extreme length while
round the thickest portion of its body the girth
was nearly three feet: thus proving, believe, to
be the largest serpent that was ever authenticaly
| heard of.

PERsoNAL.-Hon. William S. Parham, of Rich
mond, Louisiana, passed through Memphis yester-
day on his way home from the Philadelphia CON
venton. Mr.. Parham, like all the other returned
delegates whom we have seen, brings the most
cheering accounts of the immense success Of that
convention, and probable influence for good upon
the approaching elections throughout the North.
He says that the delegates from the Northern
States do not alone hope for success, but assert
that they are positively certain Of a complete re-
volution, and great victory over the already dis
mayed, panie-strieken forces of radicalism. This
view is strongly corroborated by the numerous de-
sertions of distinguished Republicans recently re-
ported in the public journals, particularly in the
Northwest and in Pennsylvania.

While travelling few days ago, between Ten

shape of a man. He had cap of coon skin,
shoes of rawhide, his coat and pants may have

Shiny that it was impossible to identify them. He
