s Natural Moving Rocks

4 writer in the Memphis CTenn AU9-
lanche describes a great natural wonder,
said to have been discovered by two Eng
hsh noblemen in Arkansas, near the St.
Francis River, and the boundary which
separates Missouri and Arkansas. II is
called a moving "mass of rock" In that
section is a strip of limestone, or green
stone, ranging from between one to two
miles in width. 1t is interspersed here
and there with piats of land, in many
cases over an acre in length, peculiarly
rich in soil, and making the strange and
perhaps hitherto unknown conformation
Of swampy and rocky soil The water
from the St. Francis pours in, especially
in the spring and fall seasons, in heavy
volume. The stream, although its cur
rent IS swift beyond parallel, takes zig
gag course through the rocks, being par
ticularly swift at the above mentioned ex-
tremity, and again empties into the St.
Francis at this extremity is a solid
mass of rugged and picturesque rock, all
most oval IN shape, washed on all sides
by rapid current, which moves directly
and re9ularl back and forward: always
in motion and creating a deep and heavy
sound which can be heard for miles At
first its motion is hardly perceptible to the
ordinary vision, but as sound increases
and the strange eye rests more directly
and minutely, the object becomes palpa-
bic. On either side of the immense NOV
able substance, which, as we have said
before, Is surrounded by swift current,
are here and there eddies threatening IN
stant destruction to everything coming
within its yawning and awful reach. The
mass of rock IS covered with wild vegeta-
ton, which grows up thickly and spon-
taneously.
A portion cf the rock lies directly under
the base of the mountains, and as it is al
ways moving, is washing the sides gradu-
ally away; What has produced snch an
unparalleled wonder demands investigation
from the scientific world. If gases can
cause earthquakes--if currents of water
can cause whirlpools and mammoth mael-
stormsj why not certain currents of electri-
cal character cause ponderous masses
of rocks to revolve! The proposition is,
can science explain this wonderful freak
of nature What causes the rock to re-
volve Is it a peculiar combination of
gases, or what is itl

AN OPPoRTUNB ARRIvAL-In the year
1849 | was engaged in collecting out
standing debts due the Apalachiar, paper
published in Blairsville, Indiana county,
Pennsylvania, and my business led me to
the Cherry Tree, at the headva!ers of the
Susquehanna river. it was in MAY, and
the flowers were out IN all their pristine
beauty. The water in the river was still
pretty high, and | had ridden some dis
tance along the bank when my path di-
verged from the river side some distance,
and then suddenly came back 80 the mar
gin, just where the river took q turn and
the water deepened. As [ approached
heard some one sobbipg as if in the great
est distress, and on looking down the
river | discovered young girl, apparent
ly about fifteen or sixteen years of age,
and remarkably good looking, wringing
her hands and moaning in the most de-
plOrable manner. | asked her what was
the matter, and between her sobs l made
out the following:
81 was playing on this-log-and-
my baby fell in the water, and-th-there
it goes down th-there"
And upon looking down the stream
about four or five yards from the shore
there foated a child, its one little hand
raised above the ripping waves, while its
little head and face bobbed up and down
with every cnrve of the water. Without
moments thought 1 sprung from my
| horse and into the stream few strokes
brought me up to the little innocent.
Carefully putting my left hand under it,
and holding it almost completely out OF
the water with my right, 1 made my way
to shore and carefully gathering it in my
arms, laid it gently IN the arms of its little
nurse; but Judge of my surprise when

A STRANGE CoINCIDENCE.-In pub
lie square at Savannah, Georgia, there
stands monument to commemorate the
virtues and patriotism Of Count Casimir
Pulaski, noble Pole who joined the
American army during the Revolution,
and fell in an attack on that city October
18th, 1779.
A decree from the Gar of Russia; just
promulgated, announces the fact that Po-
land has ceased to exist. The land of So
bieski, and Kosciusko, and Pulaski has
been blotted from the map of Europe for
ever: and merged into the territory of its
conqueror. At the same time decree
from the Radical Congress of the u. States
announces that ten sovereign common
wealths, among which is the one upon
whose soil Pulaski gave up his life for
liberty, are blotted from the map of the
Union, and exist only as military prov
inces ruled by the sword.
Cossacks and Americans follow the
same policy and attain the same result
and the memory of this dead hero has now
no country on either side of the ocean.-

The street cleaning contractor, Judge
Whiting, publishes to-day communication
addressed to the commission for cleaning the
streets, in which he sets forth the difficulties
under which he has labored in fulfilling the
terms of his contract. He submits the drafts
Of two letters addressed to the Presidents OF
the Police Commission and the Board OF
Health, the former asking the aid of the
police in keeping the cutters and sidewalks
clear, and the latter offering some valuable
suggestions in relation to the sanitary regula-
tions proper to be adopted in some Of the
wards Of the city, to neither Of which he has
received any reply. 1t twould seem that these
two bodies are at least dilatory in their efforts
to aid the street contractor in the discharge Of
his duties. The whole affair shows how unde-
sirable is our present system of commissions
where each department is independent Of the
other and where there is no general control
ling head. The street cleaning, like all othel
public works, would be far more efficiently
prosecuted than at present if the contractor
were under the immediate control of an execu
tive power directly responsible to the people
for the proper discharge Of its duties. Undel
the existing system there is no common pun
pose among the several departments, and eac
appears to be striving to usurp some OF tn
privileges and emoluments of the other.

report. They give each other tit for tat, and
pot calls the kettle black. The truth is that
on both sides elimination and recrimination are
alike uncalled for and undignifed Adequate
causes of the riot unhappily existed within the
limits of New Orleans. 1t is needless to seek
for them at either end of the avenue In Wash
ington. The devil in the Crescent City was
malignant, active and strong enough to do his
work alone through the agency of intermed-
ding and infuriated fanatics representing both
extremes Of political opinion, and already on
the spot The devil in Washington had his
hands too full to bother himself about tho
mischief his colleague Moloch was bent upop
in New Orleans. Moreover, II he had been
tempted for day to quit the Halls Of Congress
for the Hall Of the Mechanics Institute ON
Dryadcs street, some aspiring imp might have
usurped his functions during his absence. So
Belial stayed where he, felt himself at home and
had quite enough to do. He awaited the re-.
turn Of the Investigating Committee well salts

That this is partisan report is not surprising.

There las been q good deal of excitement
VI late about lotteries, gift enterprises and the
distribution Of prizes, all Of which have made
portion OF our court reports, grand jury
business, newspaper comments and police
activity. A passion for the gambling pro-
pensity, which is always more or less de-
veloped by anything which has the name Of lot
terry, is an inherent part Of human nature, and,
like the effects Of malaria in the system, is very
likely to crop out in fever. That it has done
SO in this community recently is evident This,
however, has little to do with the legal action
which has been taken with regard to the char
table lotteries or distributions or gift enter
prises which have become the subject Of legal
action or public condemnation. The objection
to these enterprises and the arrests which have
followed IL cmanated from the managers Of
the swindling lotteries established in the
Southern and Western States-Kentucky,
Maryland and Delaware The charitable lot
teries were spelling their business. They
could not elect Congressman and State Sena-
tors any longer-which they had done through
their lotteries and gambling houses--if these
charitable enterprises were tolerated; so they
went to work TO break them up. The gambling
lotteries had established between five and six
hundred Offices in this city; but their business
has Of late come TO a standstill. Therefore Il
was matter of life and death TO shut up the
charitable lottery institutions. II the Legisia-
turc would only take the trouble TO look into
the constitution they might find authority TO
permit such schemes Of distribution Of prizes
as are intended to further the interests Of
charity in this city and Stato---to turn The
