A Correc ton.


EDITOR LEDGEs: In the proceedings
of the State Convention, as they appear
in the Avalanche of this morning, is the
following: Judge Scrupgs remarked
that General Forrest had hot been Sc
lected by the delegation from West Ten
nessee. They had already signified their
choice to the Convention, and that choice
should be respected. He had, however,
no personal objection to General Forrest,
for whom he had friendly regard"
The whole thing places me in false
position. l said the delegates from the
9Th District had selected Gen. f., and
their wishes should be respected. | said
also that there was no better man than
Mr.. Bate, of Upton. He had been my
personal friend for many years, but |
knew thathe did not desire the appoint
ment.
The Avalanche will please make the
correction.
Respectfully, ?. 4. ScRuGGs.

TO any ono who has observed thor

gard tho binding obligation of an
oath-whcn they practice, unblush-
ingly, tho doctrine of "rulo or RUM
when thoy are apparently abandoned
Of God, it is frightful TO witness their
rapid and sudden descent to tho
depths of crime and ipfamy.
Not satisfied with trampling on all
tho principles of right and justice,
overriding the -violat-
ing their solemn oath-thcso mon
crown tho long, black list of their
crimes by holding their last session
on tho Sajbuth. Thus showing to tho
world, what has long boon apparent,
that they neither fear God nor regard
man. If it bo truo that "when tho

VIC wonder that lamentation, mourn
ing and despair should darl1cn and
consume tho light, and joy, and poacc

In tho light Of such facts, how can
an enlightened and Christian people
continue to sustain and pampor such
sot Of mon? ? Such corruption should
stink IN the nostrlls of all good mon.
"Whom tho gods will destroy. thoy

THE MIRAGE.

Professor Loomis, in his new work
on ActcorologE, and thus allltlcs to
the curious Illusions Of the mirage:
Mirage Is atmospheric phenomena
which produces an apparent di:;pIacc-
mcnt OF distant objects-;omctimcs
clcvating and sometimes depressing
them sometimes leaving the image
erect and sometimes invcrting it, as
when objects arc seen reflected from
a trinquil water. 1t is frequently OBJ
served on sandy plains intensely heat
cd by. tho sun, especially in Egypt and
Arabia. Lower Egyptis Il vast sandy
plain, with occasional villages situated
upon small cmincnccs. In the middle
Of the day these villages, seen from Il
distance, appear rs if situated in the
midst Ola la. :, in which are seen the
inverted images Of houses and trees
The outline oc these images il little
indislinct: oHcn exhibiting al Nndu-
latory motion, as if reflected from aw-
itatcd motcrs, AS the spectator ap-
proachcs the boundary Of thc appa-
rent lake, the waters seem to retire,
and tho same Illusion appears aronntl
the next village. Similar phenomena
arH common in sonic parts Of C:;;Eor-
'in. ailL arc occasionally seen in al
i,;,:',.; nt' tho Iui:c'! States
This is explained in this way: Tho
;ratum OF air which rc*t; uron the
sand becomes heated Ly it; this heat
is partially communicated to tho su-
pcrinc:mhcmt strata, so that the den
sity of the air increases rapidly rs
VIC riae above the earth up to a mod
craze height. The effect i; similar to
hat produced BY the reflection Of Il
tree from the surface lake, and the
observer is thus led to imagine him
self to be surrounded entirely by Wa
ter.
Mirage is produced at sea when the
atmosphere is perfectly calm, and the
air in contact with the water is cold
CT, and consequently dcnscr than the
stratum Of air Immediately above
it; this second stratum is den
scr than the one above it, and so on.
III such q case, an inverted image of
a distant object, as a slip may be
seen with distinctGcss almost equal
to that Of the object ITSELF and this
object will be formed above the object.

A TOUCHING INcIDENr.-The following
incident Of travel is narrated by a CORES

place on the Rensselaer, and Saratoga Rail

"WLen the train haltod at. Saratoga,

face WIS an honest one. He handled the
baby awkwardly, yet there was tenderness
in his sad look that showed the purity Of n
fathers love. The lit.lo fellow lay asleep
on his coarsely-clad knee; stray sunbeam
glanced ACROSS its tired face. They were
both: tired---the father and~the child--for,
they had come from the fai West; and as
be placed his hard; toiI.wosn hands to SHIELD

den anguish that ''was making his life a
