Death of a Noted M0rphinist.

Jack Lynch, Familiarity known as
"Deaf jack" who had been confined
to his room for several weeks, died
Tuesday evening at 3 O'Clock, at Mr..
Patterson's residence, on West Skiddy
Street.
Deaf Jack was, in some respects, q
remarkable character. In 1864 he was
stabbed in the neck in an ARRAY in Col
orado, and took morphine to allay his
sufferings. 1t soon developed into a
habit, and he continued to increase the
dose until finally he could not keep it
on his stomach. He then resorted to
injecting it under the skin, and before
he died he would consume in this way
the enormous quantity of fifty-two bot
ties a month! OF late years he had
been very deaf, his limbs were partially
paralyzed, and his skin had turned
dark.
Deaf Jack had resided in Denison a
long time, and nearly every one knew
him. He was of a jovial disposition
and had a good many friends, especial
ly among the sporting fraternity, who
supplied his necessities.-DenSson (Te1-
Gs) NeWs.

An Indian Dust Storm.

In his clever account of Bannu, a
district in the Punjaub, ThOrburn de-
scribes a dust storm on the great plain
of Marwat, a phenomenon of such i'm
posing force and grandeur as to be
well deserving of the important posi-
ton lately accorded it, by American
scholars, among the great geological
agents.
Marwat, the bed of an ancient lake,
is o a vast t~reeless plain of undulat-
ing, sandy down, bordered by a region
of soft loamy clay, deeply burrowed by
water-courses, and overlaid by a layer
of gravel and smooth, rounded stones,
called "hell-stones" by the people, be-
cause of their black and scorched ap-
p~earance, the effect, probably, of nat
tural sand blast attritiOn. Seen in au-
tumn or in a year of drought, it ap-
pears a bleak, bowling wilderness, tit
home for the whistling, heat-laden dust
storms that often sweep across it's sur
face in the hot months; but in late
spring, after a few timely showers, it
presents an interminable sea Of wheat,
the vivid green of which gives place
here and there to streaks and patches
of darker shaded grain.
The approach of a Gust storm over
this place in the dry season, and wit
messed from Il of its boundary hills,
is a grand and impressive sight. At
first but a speck on the distant horizon,
it rapidly elongates until it stretches
from east to west, a mighty, threaten
ing wall a thousand feet high and thirty
miles in length. Nearer and nearer it
comes, phantom-like, it's rushing noise
being inaudible to the spectator. Now
n wing is pushed forward, now an
other, nearer still: and now the birds
kites, vultures, and a stray eagle or
two-circling it's front are visible, and
n by one the villages at the foot of
the hill are enveloped and hidden from
the eye; a few minutes more and the
summit of Shekhbudin, till then bath
ed in sunshine and sleeping in the
sultry stiffness of the June morning, is
shrouded in yellow, scudding clouds.
Vanished is the grandeur of the scene
in a moment, and nought remains but
the sitting, beginning dust, flying and
eddying about in all directions, pene-
trating everywhere. Outside nothing
can be seen but a darkness which can
be felt, and nothing is audible but the
whistling of the wind and the Tapping
of bungalow chicks: but inside the
lamps are lighted, and a quarter of an
hour is idly passed, until the storm,
which generally expends its fury on
the hillsides, subsidies or passes on.

States.
A partial eclipse of the sun, Sept. Z,

mainder of the year. He retrogrades
till Aug. 20. Nov. 2 he will again pass
under Mu in Sagittarius, and will be
among the stars in the head of that
constellation at the close of the year.
Saturm-Will be in the Constellation
Aquaries during the year; but not a
conspicuous object the first four
months, being too close to the sun; the
date of conjunction is Feb. Is. After
that time he will rise before the sun
till Sept. 8, when he will be on the
meridian at midnight, and after that
he will be visible in the evening sky.
