a C0ntinnntal CrcInne

The weather reports Of the Signal
Office, as given to the press on
Tuesday, reveal a meteorological
wonder. The whole country east
Of the Mississippi was then under a
cyclone, from Lake Superior to Gal
weston and from Savannah to Mon
treal.
Heretofore it has been supposed
that a cyclonical storm of such di-
mensions was impossible; but it is
easy to see, by entering the wealth
er reports for Tuesday at thirty
i've minutes past seven A. M. on a
map Of the United States, that we
then had a rotatory storm, the cen
tire Of which was in Ohio. and the
winds blowing in an almost perfect
circle around the centre in a direc-
tiou against the hands of watch
the inYariable direction in which
the West Indian and all other trop-
ical cyclones gyrate.
We take great account Of the
discovery ola remote asteroid; but
the discovery and accurate charting
Of this immense meteor is far more
important than the discovery Of if
ty asteroids.
So vast and far-reaching was this
cyclone that at one and the same
hour it was necessary for the Chief
Signal officer to display his storm
warnings-the red flag with black
square-in every port Of the coun-
try along the lakes, the Gulf and
the Atlantic Ocean, except at Dull
nth and Galveston, both Of which
points had already felt the weight
and power of the same tempest.
twas truly a continental cyclone,
and its existance may welf Set arrest
the minds of many old fogies of
science, who still have their doubts
Of the lawof storms, and question
the possibility of foreanhouncing
them. This tremendous revolving
gale was predicted and described
in all its quadrants fully twenty
four hours before it reached the
lower lakes, and thirty six hours be-
fore it fell upon New England. It
is a grand stroke of science to be
able thus to signal the path and gy-
ration of such an immense gales

and lee shore, are SO destructive to

Ny Mother At the Gate.

There's many . sherishsd inags

With It's singing brooks and birds3
The friends who grew beside ms,
With their loving looks and WOrdsi
The flowers that decked the wildwood,
The roses fresh and sweet,
The blue bells and the daisies,
That blossomed at m5 fset5
All, all arc very precious,
And at e'en come to me,

Beyond hfe's troubled sea-
But sweetest, dearest picture,
That memory can create
Is the image Of my mother,
Ny mother at the gate.
It il there see her stan1ine
With her face 50 pure and fair,
With the sunlight and the shadows
Mingling with her raven half;
can feel the soft warm pressure
Of the hand that clasped my own,
can see the look Of fondness
That in her brown eyes shone,
can hear her parting blessing
Through the lapse of weary years,
can see, through all my sorrows,
Her own sweet, silent tears.
All. amid the darkest trials
That have mingled with my iateI
have turned to that dear imrge-
Ny mother at the gate.
But she has crossed the river,
She is with the angels now;
She has laid aside earth's crosses,
And the crown is on her brow;
sFe is clothed in pure white linen,
And she walks the streets of gold;

Within the stvior's field,
No borrowing thoughts can reach thes,
No grief is thine to-day.
God gives thee Joy for mourning,
Thy tears are wiped away.
Thou art waiting in that city
Where the saints and Angels wait,
And 1'll know thee, dearest mother,

Those cases in which the brain is
hard at work. during sleep, instead
of being totally obliyious of .everv-
thing, may be called dreaming or
somnambulism, according to the
mode inwhich the activity displays
itself Many of them are full of in
terest. Some men have done really
hard mental work while at sleep.
Condercet finished a train of caieu-
lations in his sleep which had much
puzzled hisa aasiag the day. In
1866, q eollegian noticed the pecu-
liarities ofa fellow-studeRt, who was
rather stupid than otherwise during
his waking hours, but who got
through some excellent work in
geometry and algebra during sleep.
-Condillac and Franklin both
worked correctly during some of
their sleeping hours.
The work done partakes, in ma
ny cases more of the nature IF inn
aginative composition than of
scientific calculations. Thus a
stanza OF excellent verse is in print
which Sir John Herschel is said to
have composed while asleep, and to
have recollected when he awoke.
Goethe often set down on paper,
during the day, thoughts and ideas
which had presented themselves to
him during sleep on the preceding
night. Coleridge is said to have
composed his fragment of "Kubla
Khan during sleep. He had one
evening been reading tPurchas's
Pilgrim" some of the romantic in
cidents struck his fancy; he went to
sleep, and his busy brain composed
"Kubla Khan. When he awoke
in the morning, he wrote out what
his mind had invented in sleep, un-
til interrupted by 2 visitor, with
whom he conversed for an hour on
business matters; but, alas! he
could never again recall the thread
OF the story, and thus ~Kubla Khan"
remains a fragment. DR.. Good
mentions the case of n gentleman
who in his sleep composed an ode
in six stanzas. and set it to music.
Tartini, the celebrated italian vio-
inist, one night dreamed that the
devil appeared to him, challenged
him to a trial of skill on the fiddle,
and played a piece wonderful for its
beauty and difficulty; when Tartini
awole, he could not remember the
exact notes, but he could repro
duce the general character of the
music, which he did in a compost
ton ever since known as the ''De-
Wis Sonata" Lord Thurlow, when
youth at college, found himself
one evening unable to finish piece
of Latin composition which be had

Latin in his sleep, remembered it

\ COw.ardly Sensation.
[From the Detroit Tribune.l


A COW was the cause of a most remarkable
instance OF devastation a few nights since.
breaking into the yard of Mir. Lamberf's
dwelling, and putting her head into an
empty barrel in an exploring tour for any
contents it might have, she was. unable to
eXtricate herself, and soon became thor
oughly frightened and began to rush wildly
round. In this condition she forced her way
into the w%oodshed, and thence into the
kitchen, and thence into the diningroom of
the hOese, becoming all the while more fu-
rlous. From this room she made her way
into the parlor, throwing down and tram
ping under foot everything that came in
her way. Mrs. Lambert aroused her hus-
band, who arose and went for help. The
cow next rushed into the bedroom where
Mrs. Lambert, with a little baby and one
child, occupied a bed, ana another child was
in a crib in front Of it. The enraged animal
mounted the bed, but help arrived. and not
an instant too soon. The window was raised
from the outside. and Mr.. Mckenzie at
tempted to enter. when the barrel gave him
a blow which knocked him back against the
fence. The children were at last secured
and passed through the window. and Mrs.
Lambert soon followed. The door of the
bedroom was then closed. and the cow was
left to herself. AT last she became quiet
and the barrel fell from her head: the doors
were opened and she walked out. The fur
nlture, which was very nice. is tearfully de
moralized. The plastering was knocked
from the walls, and the panels of the door
out.

MY DEAR Sill have yours of the four

policy you suggest is that which your party
ought to adopt. They should nave run
Salmon p. Chase in 1868. Then, as the re-
suit OF that contest, the return OF genuine
peace and thrift would have been promoted.
That policy gave you more last year in
Missouri than could have been achieved by
a party triumph.
You only err as to the proper candidate.
l am not the man you need. Your party is
mostly free trade, and | am a ferociOus pro-
tectlOnist. l have no doubt that l might be
nominated and elected by your help; but it
would place us all in false positions. fl,
who am adversely interested, can see this,
l am sure your good sense will, on reflection,
