WATER SPOUT AT THE LAKE.-ThOse
who devoted their leisure hours Sunday
to enjOyments at the lake had an OBJ
pOrtunlty to witness arare phenomenon.
Toward dark there seemed to be a
heavy rain storm on the other side of
the lake. There was hardly any wind
noticeable at the end of the long warf,
though flashes of lightning were fire.
qlently visible, ard the thunder rolled
heavily in the distance. About half
past six the attenSIo on of people was at
tracted to the clouds about two miles
and a half over the lake. They seemed
to be forming themselves rapidly in the
shape of a revolving funnel, with the
point toward the water The eye ma
turally followed the point of the cloud,
and then saw a column of water rising
from the surface of the lake to meet
it.
At the base of the column of water
the SURFACE OF the lake boiled and
toamed till the spray rose in the whirl-
ing pillar The two points joined, and
then the whole seemed to move in the
direction of the warf. At this time the
diameter OF the water spout was about
the same as that of an ordinary centre
table. It vas not long, however, before
the influences which produced this ex
traordinary display seemed to have
changed their direction, and the clouds
arose higher. The spout broke about
the centre and the lake resumed it's or
binary appearance. 1t was an unusual
and exciting sight, and will be long re-
membered by the fortunate spectators.
Another slight one formed Immediately
after the breaking of the first, but was
so lndistinct as to be hardly notice.

WHAT WAS IT.-About sunrise on
Monday morning, many citizens of this
town and parish heard two or three
loud and sharp reports, as of heavy ar
tillerg, following each other in quick
succession. The direction from which
they came is yariously stated to have
been south, southeast and east. What
produced them, is still a mystery. The
skywas clear and no cloud was visible,
even on the edge of the horizon; nor
has any explosion occurred within the
parish or on the river, as Far as can be
learned. So we have a genuine "What
is it?"-or rather a " What was it 81 to

The Affections of the People.
Roundabout in New Orleans Times

LASouIlslbIUuI Ill NC" OIlcttllS 1IulGS.
Some gentlemen from the country
said to Roundabout yesterday, "What
we complain of in the Times is that
it don't take strong grounds for any
particular side. We all buy it or borrow
newspaper in the South, and the only
one from which we can get full local in
formation. But it has no hold upon our
affections it don't take sides.n
In Other words, the Times treats its
readers like rational beings who are
competent to form opinions for them
selves provided they have the material
furnished tEem; it gives fair and I'M
biased reports Of current events, ac-
cOmpanied only by such comments as
betit a n~On-partisan journal it distOrts
nothing, withhOlds nothing, manufac-
lures nothing; it consents to recognize
good IN political opponents and evil in
political friends just in proportion to
the facts.
Of course this is " ~advanced,n as they
call it. 1t is revolutionary and unDre-
cedented, and all that. Good conserva-
tive, people don't like it. It was so
much easier to keep a fine, healthy
hatred for Il side, and a blind, I'M
questioning adherence to the other,
under the old system.
But good conservative people of this
peculiar class are no longer predomi-
nant. The present generation prefers
to know what is going on, and to draw
their W conclusions; and with this
element the Times is heartily in accord.
1t derives a modest competence from
their support, and, of course, from the
occasional patronage of those who,
weary.ng Of the regular old cookery,
endeavor to indulge themselves in a
little Of the raw material of fact.
A very natural regret attends the
information that the Times don't possess
affection in certain quarters; but res
pect is a passable substitute, and we trv
not to be grasping. The day is not far
distant when an indiscriminate abuse
Of political opponents will be consid-
cred n~auseOus' and a One-sided repro
ductiOn of political events dishonest.
The Times will endeavor to exist until
that day arrives.
