A GRAND FIzzLE.-After all the strenuous
efforts of the Camp street papers yesterday
evening to drum up colored Democratic
meeting last night at the room of the Rough
and Ready Club, on Robertson street, be.
tween Bayou Road and Esplanade street,
there were but three colored men in the
building, and one Of those was a Radical,
and threats were made of throwing him
out of the window if he made any remarks.
The speakers name is Willis Rawlins, an
itinerant for the Mississippi Democrats sent
down here to convert sinners as he asserts.
He has fair field before him if that is his
only object.

DEATH BY sUNsTRoKE. Coroner Roche
held an inquest on the body of William
Fickers, found dead in q house corner Of

was that death was caused by sunstroke.
This, we believe, is the first or second au-

have been spoken of, but only with conjec-
ture. The thermometer ranges too low to

Color of the Clouds and Shy.

A short time ago, says Galignam,
the German periodical, Poggendop's
Annalen, contained paper by NJ
Lommel, on "The Evening Glow
and Similar Phenomena" somewhat
mathematical for our purpose; but be-
fore the appearance Of that paper Mr..
Sorby had discussed the same subject
in a more popular form, extending it
to the color Of the clouds, and which
he explains on the principle that the
clear, transparent vapor of water alb
serbs more Of the red rays of light
than Of any others, while the lower
strata of the atmosphere within no
great distance from the surface of the
earth offer more resistance to the pas
sage of the blue rays. This is especi-
ally the case at sunrise and sunset, and
very perceptible in the case of dark
colored fogs, through which the sun
appears red. This is often due to only
a few hundred yards thickness at such
fog, and it is probable that the same
effect will be produced by a thickness
of as many miles Of pure air contain
ing watery particles very thinly dis
seminated. 1t is thus Mr.. Sorby
explains nearly all the phenomena
connected with the question.
The blue color of the sky is due to
the ABSORPTION of considerable amount
of red light by aqueous vapor, far
from the earth's surface; but if minute
particles of liquid water form thin
mist, the blne of the sky will be di-
minished, as is the case in winter in
cold countries. If the air be much
charged with transparent vapor, the
blue color will be deeper, and thus
become an indicator of rain. AT sun
rise and sunset the light of the sun
has to pass through about two hun
dred miles of atmosphere within a
mile of the surface of the earth in
order to illuminate a cloud mile
from the ground. Inpassing through
this great thickness the blue rays are
absorbed to far greater extent than
the red, and much of the yellow is
also removed. Hence, clouds thus il
Illuminated are red; but when the sun
rises higher the yellow light passes
more readily, and the clouds become
orange, then yellow, and finally white.
Clouds in the different parts of the
sky, or at different elevations, might
show these various colors at the same
time, as indeed is often the case.

Dec0llefe Females.

The abominable custom of expos
ing too much of the female person now
SO prevalent in fashionable society. is
being severely ridiculed by portion
OF the press. 1t might puzzle even an
imaginary writer TO concentrate in a
few words more sncering but agnrava-
ted bitterness than that expressed, ma
ny years ago, during a temporary
reign OF the disease now prevalent, by
a certain husband who was accostcd
with question, while looking on at a
dance in which his very decolietc wife
was figuring in: "yyhat very hand
some and magnificently formed lady is
that yonder, in the green and pearls?"
asked one of the other guests, an -.ac-
quaintance of the husband but,a stran-
ger to his family. "That? Oh that
is my wife; or at least I thought it
was up to to-day! But by the proph-
ct? I am inclined to think, by the
way she dresses tonight, that she is
the wife Of every gentleman in the as
tsemblags" : ~

PLyCKY BEN WADE.

An article in the Cincinnati Gazette
on the early life of Benjamin Wade,
gives the following among other Incl
dents:
"Wade walked six times from Ohio
to New York, and on one of these oc-
casions came near losing his life. He
was leading steer as usual in front of
the drove, when he came to a long
covered bridge. The gate-keeper, ac-
cording to the rules, would only allow
a few ofthe herd to pass over at a
time, lest their weight should iniure
the bridge. Wade started with the ad-
vance guard, but the cattle in the rear
becoming frightened, rushed into the
bridge and stampeded. Young Wade
made haste to run, but finding he
could not reach the other end before
the frantic cattle would be upon him
and trample him to death, he ran to
one of the posts, and, springing up,
caught hold Of the brace and drew
himself up as high as possible. He
could barely keep his legs out of the
way of the horns of the cattle, but he
held on while the bridge swayed to
and fro, threatening every moment to
break under the great weight that was
put upon it. At length the last Of
the frightened animals passed by, and
our dangling hero dropped from his
perch, to the astonishment of the
drover, who thought he had been
crushed to death, and was riding
through the bridge, expecting every
moment to find his crushed and mangf-
ed body"

General Spinner as n Religious Entiiu-
siaSt.

General Spinner is very popular
man, Judging from the anxiety every
body shows to obtain as many copies
as possible of his likeness, which is
circulated over the country on green
paper. ,
Spinner is devout and
4aureseieptious Methodist in
sensitively conc. aa1hu..padical
religion, and in politics IS 4 isll1l
1t began TO be whispered around that,
under very trying and extraordinary
circumstances, General Spinner was
guilty ofswearing a little sometimes.
The church took the matter in hands
as quietly as possible, and appointed
discreet sister (the grieving mourner
of a husband and three gallant broth
ers slain in the war; to inquire into
the matter. Instead of gathering ev-
idence at second hand, she went to
headquarters !; she posted herself
among the crowd of waiting ones in
the Generals Office. The old man
was absorbed in business, and work
ing away like steam engine. File
after file of men passed before him,
and he shot his decisions ut them in
sharp, curt sentences as they moved
on. Finally, tall, handsome man
approached and handed in his docu-
ments for examination. The general
ran his eye down the pages, and
thunder cloud settled portentously
upon his countenance. He threw
down the papers and shook his fist
fiercely in the gentlcman's face and
said
/" you are come to me with this
You sncaking hound of desertor.

President ofthe United States, setting
forth that when You deserted from the

Of possessing disposition to deprive
men of their ''inbred rights" But if
they ask the Legislature to submit the
question to the towns, to the people
themselves who are the source of all
all power, they cannot be charged with
any despotic design. Another great
advantage in this course is this: If
the Legislature passes prohibitory
law and the law is repealed, there is a
manifest defeat. Bat if the question
is submitted to the towns, and the
friends of temperance are defeated in
one town, they will succeed in another,
and so the cause of temperance will re-
ceive no severe shock. This question
may come up annually in the towns;
but if the friends of temperance sue
ceed in any one town or county by n
large majority, one trial will decide the
question forever. And, sir, the peo-
pie will much more readily submit to
a question in which they have direct
voice. think the plan proposed is a
liberal one. 1t is an appeal to the
fountain of power, to the people them
selves. Those, then, who are in favor
Of absolute prohibition can have no
real objection to this measure, as it
will prepare the public mind for other
steps; for where the people in their
sovereignty have decided that no Ii
censes shall be granted, and that in
toxicating drinks shall not be sold
amongst them, they will sustain their
Legislators in enacting penal laws
against this prescribed traffic. Let
the experiment be tried; it will show
how the people stand on the subject,

TWO OPINIONS.

head writers and orators? From be

time when rebellion rocked tnS

denly become nothing but an glitter

ciety, destitute of anything like mill
tary genius, and altogether unfit to be
called man. The New York World
considered one of the most respectable
opposition papers in the country, il
not the organ of the party, recently
published the following which we will
style;
OPINION NO. /.
ga narrow, sluggish intellect,
whose dearth of ideas has been called
prudence"
"An army leader who sacrificed
nearly toice as many men as the enemy
had IN the field, accomplished every
thing by numbers and nothing by skill
a cold, narrow, commonplace, unat-
tractive man, remarkable for nothing
but stolid force of will"
Against the above untruthful and
cowardly assault we place the follow
ing testimony of General Sherman, who
is now as ever one Genaral Grants
warmest friends and admirers. We
asked our readers to compare the
former opinion with
OPINION NO. 2.
"I believe you are as brave, patri-
otto and just, as the great prototype,
Washington. AS unselfsh, kind
hearted and honest as u man should
be but the chief characteristic is
the simple faith in success you have
always manifested, which / can liken
to nothing else than the faith a
Christian has in the Savior. This
faith gave you victory at Shiloh and
VicLsburg."
"Also when you have completed
your best preparations, you go into

us act with confidence. l knew
wherever | was that you thought
of me; and if ! got in tight
place, you would help me out if

The above was sent to General
Grant, by General Sherman after the
promotion of the former, and may
be set down as the testimony of one
whose great military genius is proba-
bly, uncqualed.
