The Panic in Houston.

TIE Houston Telegraph says of the panic
there:
We have never seen its power more fully
pxemplitied than III the last few days. Hun
dreds have run from Galveston and Houston
as if the yellow fever was in full chase after
them. And thev have carried their fears
with them to the country, and it would per-
haps be impossible to convince our interior
friends as to the actual facts in the two
cities named.
The Telegraph of the fourth has these
paragraphs:
Lieutenant Colonel Riordan has been I'M
firing in his efforts to enforce the quaran,
tine, and has his guards so arranged and
stationed as to protect the city from trains
and persons entering from places having the
fever. The Galveston trains are not allowed
to come nearer than four miles OF the har-
risburg junction. or within nine miles OF this
citv: and the New Orleans railroad trains
have ceased to run. Our hopes increase
constantly that we will escape the fever.
A squad of dozen or two were sent down
the road Yesterday to aid the authorities OF
Harrisburg in stopping the Galveston cars
at Plum Creek, five miles below Harrisburg
As the cars did not arrive it is supposed
they did not come up or were stopped.
We can not conceive why the managers
OF the Galveston cars Will persist III Trying
to make their trips to this city, when 1t is
positively known that there is no communl-
cation between this and the upper country.
II Galveston is infected with the fever it is
cruel to send people here who have no
chance Of getting further
The same paper, of the fifth, says:
We advise the unacclimated who have
left the city not to return, to remain at night
until all possible danger has passed. Both
Houston and Galveston had @ large num-
Der of persons, who have never had the
disease, who have fed from it, and their
absence, especially at night, decreases the
danger of an epidemic in not leaving large
amount of food for it, and thus contributes
to the safety of the two cities.
The Telegraph Of the sixth contains these
these items
The conductor of the cars on the New Or
leans road was fined yesterday, by the
Mayor, $lOO for violating the quarantine in
bringing passengers from infected districts.
Several other parties who had arrived at
Galveston from New Orleans, and by de-
vious route made their entree into this city,
! contrary to regulations, were fined heavily.

FRIGHTFUL DESCENT OF A GYM.
MAST.
Fall of Frank Gibbons.


Last evenings performance in the Acade-
my Of music was interrupted for Il few min
utes by Frank Gibbons the uapeze gym
mast, who, while attempting to make an ex-
traordinary evolution, missed his hold, and
fell to the stage from the ceiling above.
He was about to close his performances,
apparently endeavOring to accomplish a
feat not in his usual line. His daring efforts
lust previous had elected considerable ap-
plause. and several ladies almost tainted
from fright at his flights through the air
from point to point.
Apparently he intended to catch the last
trapeze with one leg and then descend, but
unfortunately he did not properly calculate
the distance or his ability, and went ume-
strained through the air to the stage.
When he struck the boards his body-was
quite straight, his back downward, the dull,
heavy sound sending a thrill Of horror
through the large audience, causing ladies
to scream from the shock. Had his body
struck in almost any other direction, in
stant death would have been the penalty.
The curtain went down after his inanimat e
body had been carried off the stage.
In three or four minutes after this Mr..
Gibbons appeared on the stage, to show the
audience that tall of thirty or forty feet
had not killed or particularly harmed him.
The audience reassured, cheered Justify to
see him before them, and then the perform
ance proceeded as usual.

Temperance Celebration.

Two veteran temperance organizations OF
the city of New Orleans held high festival
on Wednesday evening last, at the Bible
House, on Camp street.
The occasion was the public installation,
by Pelican Division No D. and Crystal
Fount Division No. /. of the officers elected
by each division. to serve for the ensuing
quarter.
The various temperance organizations,
like the Masons and the Odd Fellows, as
rule. hold their meetings with closed doors.
But it is an allowable custom among the
orders of the Sons Of Temperance, and the
Temple of Honor, to deviate from their rule
by having the ceremonial of the installation
of officers performed in open meeting. This
gives the public in general an opportunity
of learning somewhat of the workings of
the orders, and the result is generally an ac-
cessiOn to the ranks Of temperance from the
outsiders who, at the open meetings, learn
to estimate how little harm is done in this
world by men confning their potations to
natures beverage-water, instead of mad
dening themselves by the habitual use of
death dealing alcohol.
On the present occasion there was a large
and brilliant company assembled in an up
per room in the Bible House, where several
temperance societies hold their stated meet
ings. The assembled. company consisted
largely of ladies, for mothers, wives, sisters
and daughters, although in no need Of
pledges for themselves, know full well the
value of the Temperance Union as a haven
s., for fbair nsf nd daar q
safety to SO many bread winners from the
sin that so easily besets them.
+ A little after eight o'clock the ceremony
was opened by music, accompanied by
very sweet toned instrument that had been
| furnished by Mr.. A E. Blackmar for the
occasion. Without going into details, we
| can only say that the singing was excellent,
| the beautiful melOdeon blending with the
| voices without Overpowering them
An appropriate address was then dellv-
cred by Rev. Mr.. Ivy. pastor OF the Metho-
dist Church, on Louisiana avenue. Inc

CONFEDERATE RAM TENNESSEE.

Last Scenes in her History-A Local Item.
For some number Of nights past a light
has been seen on the right bank Of the Mis-
sissippi river, opposite the Canal street
ferry landing, which proceeded not from gas,
coal Oil, septOline. kerosine, or any means OF
legitimate nocturnal illumination. Most OF
those who beheld the light, seemed to think
that something was ON fire, or that ''some-
thing was burning And SO it was; for the
something" was one of the most interest
ing relics of a strife such as will, We trust,
never occur again during the long future of
the American nation. The subdued, though
long continued nocturnal illumination on
the right bank has been caused by the burn
ing of the old Tennessee"
The Tennessee" was an iron-elad
steamer. said to be the very best vessel, in
all points of nautical and warlike efficiency,
ever owned by the Confederacy. She was
built by voluntary contributions from the
Southern people, and these contributions
were made with no niggard hand Ladies,
far and near, contributed their money-not
only-but jewelry, bracelets. breastpins,
earrings, finger rings, etc. These enthusl-
astic efforts were seconded by other contri-
buttons. and the gallant Tennessee was
the result. But the vessel of many hopes
did. not long escape her Nemesis. About
the time that Mobile succumbed to the arms
of the Federal government, the Tennessee
was captured by Admiral Farragut and
her career as champion of the Confederacy
ceased. She was transferred to the United
States service, afterward laid up in Or
dinary, and mOored on the right bank of the
river, where the alluvial deposits gradually
accumulated around her. until at length she
justified the official fiat. "untit for service"
and was sold out OF the United States
marine. A short time ago she was bought
by two gentlemen, for the purpose OF making
the most Of her. This was not much; for it
was found that the only feasible proceeding
was to burn up her timbers to get out the
iron, bolts, ETC., of which she contained no
small quantity. Hence, for the last ten
evenings she has afforded dull illumina-
ton to her neighbOrhOod, source OF wonder
as to what might be the matter, and a strong
