ESrThosc interested in The subjuect,
should remember that on the nights of the
18th and 18th of this month, Astronomers
predict the remarkable phenomena Of n
meteoric shower. The Waco Register
says;
Should the predicted mcieoric shower
take place, and Of all approach in mngni.
tudc ard splendor that of 1888, they will
have cause Of lasting regret who permit
themselves to miss the sight. All who wit
messed this grand and awful phenomenon
33 years ago preserve ALVEY remembrance
of the sublimity of the scene. From y
O'Clock p. NJ, of the 18th, to o'clock A.
NJ. of the 18th, the entire concave Of the
heavens cleaned necessarily with thous-
ands of dazzling meteors. These were
won lerful in size, brilliancy and velocity
and often peculiar in form. Flakes of fire
fell like rain, enormous ire-balls shot
through the sky leaving br ght trains OF
white or prismatic tinted light. Luminous
figures of various shapes appeared to OBJ.
servers at different points, and remained
visible for many minutes. The source
from which this wonderful starry shower
emanaed seems to have been an apparent
" fixed point in Leo Major, then culmina-
ting after midnight. The fiery coruscation
pursued rapid flight toward the north
west and while the rocket-like- fire balls
sped across the arch of tho sky in oil di-
rections. The scientific and enlightened
regard this magnificent display of Almigh-
ty power with awe and admiration; but to
the ignorant mind the apocalyptic vision
was being fulfilled, when "the stars of hea-
ven fell unto the earth, even as fg-tree
caseth her uptimely figs, when she is sha-
ken of mighty wind" Many were ready
to call on "the rocks and mountains to fall
on them and hide them" from the terror OF
the scene.
If this glorious exhibition does rccur MS
predicted, and extends over the same terri
tory as in 1899 and 1888, we occupy most
favorable position for its observation as
well as of other celestial phenomena.
There is peculiar loneliness about our
Texas nights. 1t may be that our pure at
mosphere easily transmits the starry ra-
dance, or that the unbrokcn circle OF the
horizon hides from us no glittering orb be-
longing TO our hemisph ere. Among the
hills of more Northern States we seldom
see the tortuous golden chain that Scorpio
trails along our Southern sky. The most
brilliant winter nights could hardly equal
in beauty the evening skies Of the past
summer Venus shining her brightest as
Evening Star, Jupiter blazing grandly
from Sagittarius and Saturn's hoary light
beam:ng from among Libra's stars. Who
would not be a star gazer in Texas?

rIRarSrA.--The following is an
extract from a speech OF Clay Dean,
Of Iowa, made few days since in
Now Jersey:
II dare speak one kind word for
shc oppressed in the very teeth OF
tho opprcssor. Since Adam took
possession of Eden, no part Of his
heritage has given to men such a
hundred years of history as that of
Virginia, beginning with the public
life of George Washington, and
ending with the surrender of the
armies of General Robert Z. Lee.
The great orator, Patrick Henry,
-vhose. spirit lighted up the first
rreat revolution. and whose mild,
sweet voice vailed armies up the
valley and down from the mountain
to defend New York, New Jersey,
and Massachusetts, from the inva-
der's hoof, was a Virginian; Thorn
as Jefferson, whose great soul en-
comprised the world lifted its light
upon a benightcd age to teach it
liberty, was Virginian; James
Madison environed our rights by q
fame of living fire, which the most
illustrious periods in the. past and
present century preserved unharm-
ed, all that was precious in life and
sacred in hope, the Constitution of
the United States-was Virgin
ian John Marshall, whose lumin-
GUS mind, guided by immutable jus.
tice, gave being to n most profound
and comprehensive judiciary, the
bulwark of American institutions,
the marvel of mankind, was Vir-
ginian; Henry Clay, whose COM
mandiug majesty of soul drew after
him, whithcrsoever he went one full
half of the whole moral and intellec-
tual POWERS of America, who did
obeisancc to his name, was d Vir-
ginian; the Lees, Richard Henry,
Arthor, Francis Lightfoot, Light
Horse Harry, and his illustrious
son, Robert Il. Lee, were Virgin
ians Thomas Jonathan Jackson,
the great military genius of the
Western Hemisphere, was a Vir-
gilman. The Courts, and Legisla-
lures, and forums, and pulpits of
every State in the Union, and every
government on the Continent, have
been adorned by Virginians. Their
noble, blood, shed in defence Of lib
crty, has flttened every valley, and
their bones have blcached on every
mountain from Bunker Hill to the
city of Mexico. With such histo-
ry and such race of freemcn,
Henry Wilson, Horace Greeley, and
Charles Sumner, would disfranchisc
this; illustrious people, and place
them under the tutelage of negroes
Proud, glorious old Virginia, what
American, with American PRIDE
whether abolitionist or democrat,
would not rather be Stoncwall Jack
son, buried in the bosom Of Virgin
ia, dead immortal, than to live and
be Butler, loathed by mankindY'

RAW FLESH AND BRANDY IN THE TREAT
NExr OF CoxsuMPrIoN.-The method OF
treating consumptive diseases by raw meat
and alcohol appears to have been attended
with wonderful results. 1t has now been
tried in no less than 1000 cases, and, as we
are told, in nearly all successfully. Pa
tients have increased in weight to the ex-
tent of some Eve, eight ten and thirteen
pounds in the course Of two or three weeks.
NJ. Fuster recommends the adoption Of his

About twelve mouths ago gentleman
Who resides In the country OF Galway,

young lady, who would have been dashed

craven on his mind that when no awoke,

improved on fram day TO day until II was

On bitter cold night some months SUBJ

seen kicking aud plunging in n fearful

Tue LATE IluRRIcASE,-Lt. Gibson, of
the United States steamer Tahoma, writes
10 the Secretary of War, rs follows;
That when on line between the Bcr-
mudas and Hatteras, his vessel encountered
a revolving storm, Of hurricane violence,
and sustained serious damages. As care
fully computed, the cyclone was moving
east northeast, at the rate of thirteen miles
per hour. Its centre, when nearest the
Tahoma, was in latitude lhirty-thrcr de-
grees north, longitude seyenty-two minutes
forty seconds west; bore south southeast
forty miles distant, and its whole diameter
was about two hundred and sixty miles
II came upon us so suddenly, and with so
little premonition-th barometer register
ing rather than foretcling the changes OF
the wind and weather--the sea rose so rap
idly, and grew so dangerously heavy and
confused, that, being satisfied that we were
on the left side of the semi-crcle Of the
storm, deemed it safer to abide the issue
by heaving the Tahoma to on to the port
tack, than to attempt to gain westing by
running her.
The centre of the hurricane passed over
New Providence on the LIST, and the deyas'
tation is said ia, be marvellous. A great
part of Nassau is in ruins, large warehouses
shattered to pieces, many buildings thrown
down, or moved out of their places, and
every vessel and boat sunk or driven high
upon the beach.
