Killed by a Meteor.

The following remarkable occurrence Is
vOuched for by gentleman of Yaracity, a
correspondent of the New York Herald,
who writes from Sidney, New South Wales,
and viii be put on record as one of the
wonders of modern times:
On the night of the solar eclipse a great
deal of electrical disturbance was observed,
and all through the month meteors have
been seen almost nightly. Just after the
eclipse one of the most singular incidents
probably that ever occurred took place.
AS the schooner Urania was passing
Crowley Head about half an hour
after midnight on the 18th uIt, a
a ball of fire" fell Immediately over the
vessels stern, exploded with q loud report
Ike that of heavy piece of ordnance, and
killed the steersman, a man named Sales.
Every one on board felt violent shock like
that of volcanic battery, but no one except
Sales was seriously injured. Sparks of fire
were scattered ell about the deck and the
flash OF the meteor was so brilliant that the
steward, who was lying in a berth below,
saw the fire through the calked seams of
the deck His cabin was at the same time
filed with smoke which blackened some pa
pers lying about The paint on all the aft
part of the ship was discOlOred, similarly
to what it might have been had the ship
been smoked with charcoal" A peculiar,
indescribable smell was perceived for some
time after the explosion and a quantity of
fakes like the SCOT from a steamers funnel
were scattered about the deck. The meteor
apparently travelled with the wind, which
was from the south. The body of Sales, the
man who was killed, appeared to be black
ened, but showed no other marks Of injury.
Sales was a young man, about twenty-three
years of age, and is described as a smart
seaman.

COTTON FACTORY AT BOLIVAR.

We ask a careful consideration of the
following article. We clip from the edito-
rial columns of the Nashville Banner The
facts and figures therein given will convince
the most skeptical of the truth Of the asser-
ton that there is more profit in manufac-
turing cotton than there is in raising cot
ton. We do hope that our monied men
will erect large and we'll arranged manu-
factory here, and thus lend an additional
impetus to the advancement of our home
Improvements
COTTON MANUFACTURE VS.. COTTON RAISING.
We are gratified to learn that the sugges-
tions contained in our recent article en-
titled " How Tennessee may be made a
great State" have produced a favorable
effect in the quarter toward which they
were directed If, indeed, the capitalists
of Nashville have really begun to consider
whether cotton manufacturing may not in
vOlve more profit than raising the staple It
SELF or an inves tmeut in Government bonds,
or shaving notes at ever so usurOus an in
terest per month, they shall have the full
benefit of whatever aid we can afford in
their commendable search after the truth.
For this reason we to-day bring forward an
incentive SGl4I more potent Gnan Gne enOr-
nous premium which Eastern cotton mill
shares command above their par value
no less an inducement than the
fact that cotton mills in the South
are even now paying dividends which
would clOy the avaricious cravings of
Shylock himself Now to the figures This
vital question is, after all, but matter of
figures and they never lie. We quote from
the report of VIM. E. jackson, President of

FATHER. DEAR FATHER. COME HOME"
Father, dear father come home with now.
The clock in the steeple strikes one
You promised dear father, that you would come heme
As your days work done.
Our IRE has gone out-our house IS all dark,
And mothers been watching since tea,
With poor little Benny, sick in her arms,
And to help her but
Come home, come home, come home
Please father, dear father come home!
Father, dear father, home with now,
The clock in the stsepls strikes two!
The night has grown colder, and Benny is worse
But he has been calling for you.
Indeed he is worse-mother says he viii die
Perhaps before morning shall dawn,
And shis the message she sent to bring
Come quickly, or he will be gone.
Come home, come home, come home,
Please father dear father. come come.
Father, dear father. come home with now,
The clock in the steeple strikes three!
The house il SO lonely, the hours SO long,
Fer poor, weeping mother and me.
Yes we alone-pOor Benny is dead,
And gone with the angels Of light
And these the very last words that he said
want to kiss papa-good night.
Come home, CONE home come home,
Please father, dear father, come home.
