HE GETTING; READY,

Tn. very severe weather Of the last few
days reminds US that some remarkable scien-
fife fellow has found out that there is such
an accumulation Of ice at the antarctic pole,
that i. will cause the earth 10 topple over
some day. A similar phenomenon caused
the flood, in which Noah was concerned,
and such catastrophe happens every ten
thousand years. When the earth acts in this
unbeooming manner, the waters Of the ocean
sweep ever the land. We make reference 10
this important scientific discovery at the
present time that our readers may be duly
prepared; but there is no need Of getting
into panic abou. il, for We have six thou
sand years yet, in which to get our arks
ready; though forewarned forearmed, you

IuE SIN "ON 4 BUsT.-

Tie Astronomers say that the late expiO-
sion in the sun hurled flying debris to the
height or over two hundred thousand miles
and that The huge protuberance which rose
some fifteen thousand miles above the ''chro-
mosphese," and subsequently, hurst, was COM
posed of hydrogen gas. II such an une1-
pected ebullition as this can take place, who
knows what may happen next, or whether
another and more tremendous catastrophe
may not blow the sun himself to atoms, and
relega,e US all TO "Chaos and old Night?'
The intimate knowledge we are promised Of
the suns corona" would be of little Use If
followed by snch an event as this, and it is
to be hoped that the world will soon receive
scientific assurance that the recent disturb
ance was purely Of gaseous or ephemeral
order, and net 1t all likely 10 herald the de-
struction Of the solar system.

From New Orleans il is learned that the
planters are LIrrying in their sugar CROP,
the recen: iro-.s neeessitating great urgency
in pressing GU. the juice. Altogether the
Weld will be below the estimate Of last year.
Though much more was planted and cultiva-

generally 50 uniavorable that the yield las
been considerably less Ga a majority of the
plantations bu, little over half a crop will be
realized. Notwithstanding tGis unsatisfacto-
ry yield, there is general feeling OF hope
fulness, and a spirit of activity and enter
prise quite perceptible among planters, which
gives assurance Of improved prospects and
enlat .ed culture.
