THE BLOOD SHOWER OF Is4l.
A Curious Phenomenon that Occurred In Ten
nessee Thisty-Five Years Ago.
Frora the Nashville, American.

| FROM the NASHVILLE, Americ@ns
Reference to the old files in the
Americdn's library shows that the

pendent, signing himself GA member
of the Glass of 1885," of Nashville
University, was in error as to the
date of the "meat" shower phenom-
enon of Wilson county, of which he
undertakes to delighted the readers
of that paper 1t was 10 the August
of 1871 that it occurred, and not IN
1888 or 1884, as this correspondent
remembers it. The first account OF
it appeared as communication to
the Lebanon Chronicle, and was cop
led into the Nashville papers. 1t
states the discovery in a field five
miles distant from Lebanon OF num-
bers Of tobacco leaves spotted, APP
parently with drops of coaguated
blood, which according TO some ne
groes who claimed to have witness
ed it, fell from passing red cloud,
at noon. Parties visiting the spot
picked up here and their particles of
gelatinous substance, of offensive
odor, resembling flesh, and from one
to two inches in length The shower
covered an area Of 500 yards long
by sixty wide, the drops irreg llarly
disposed at intervals OF fifteen oaees.
Some of the particles seemed to be
finely pulverized muscle and blood
mixed, and others of muscular fibre
and adipose matter interspersel. and
from others an oily exuoation issued
from them, caused by the heat of the
sun. This is substantially the report
of the Lebanon papers correspon-
dent thir.y-fve years ago.
The phenomenon produced quite a
sensation at the time and had an ex-
tensive newspaper circulation. A
Mr.. Beuiamine n. Hallowell, from
Alexandria, Va, addressed letter
to the National Inteligencer on the
subject, quoting from work on the
National History of Insects" to
show that the spots and red matter
were produced by specie of lepid-
optera (butterfes), which, when
they emerge from the pupa or chrys-
ais state, discharge reddish fluid
in some instances producing the APP
pearanee of o "shower of blood"
Sleidsn relates that in 1853 vast
multitude Of butterflies swarmed
through great part Of Germany,
and sprinkled plants, leaving build
ings, clothes and men with bloody
drops. 4 like occurrence is reported
by Reaumur, in July, 1908, in the
suburbs of Aix, producing consterna-
ton among the superstitious. M.
Peiresc, scientist, who had paid at
.ontinn 10 insects. happened to have
chrysalis in his cabinet Hearing
futtering which informed him his
insect was arrived at it's perfect
state, be opened the box and the in
sect emerged, leaving behindit red
spot. He compared this with the
spots of the bloody shower, and
found they were alike. Mr.. Halo

Physiology Of Dyspepsia.

10 paper upon the nature o.
dyspepsia, Levin remarks that, &C
cording to bis experiments, the
stomach plays a mechanical part 10

into peptones. heterogeneous substan-
ces excite the secretion of the gastric
mice. The non-nitrogenous, especi.
ally those Of a fatty nature, deter
mine the production of large guam

exosmosis from the capiIlaries of the
mucous lining of the stomach. This
watery exosmosis, 10 the opinion OF
NJ. Levin, IS the cause of dyspepsis
in most cases; aud the treatment
consists in retarding the seer elton.
for which purpose sulphate Of soda

A Boy Swallowed M ouse-A Ga.
rious Accident.

The Cohoes New York Eagle tells
of very curious accident happen
ing to son of James OHelan, re-
siding on Saratoga street. 1t seems
that Willy, the youngest child a
bright boy of IL or Ii years of age,
lay down in a corner OF the kitchen
Monday night, and, being tired out
from play, was soon fast asleep. The
father was reading at table placed
in the center OF the room; the rest of
the family were all in bed, and con-
sequently the house was perfectly
still. Suddenly startling cry came
from the child, which aroused the
father, who made rush for the boy
and asked him what was the matter.
The boy clasped his father in his
arms, and with startling eyes ex-
claimed, Father, father, | have
swallowed mouse, aud L feel him
biting me insidel" La an instant
the father had the house aroused,
and messenger was sent for q doc
tor, who soon arrived and admins
| tered an emetic, " hich had the de-
sired effect, and the boy, after some
terrible retching, threw up the
mouse, and strange TO relate, the
creature was alive and active, and
made his escape to hole in the floor,
1t appears that while the child slepI
be had his mouth open, and the
mouse, which was very small, gol
frightened by q muscular action o.
the child, jumped into bis mouth and
down his throat, but how he remain
ed alive in they boys stomach is s

General Sherman and Prayer.

of Sherman's Campaign, tells the fol-
lowing story:
Shortly after our army had enter
ed vannab, number of clergymen
called upon General Sherman, and
among other questions inquired if
they could hold divine service as usual
IN the churches.
Certainly said the General, ~ by
not? We are specially directed by
the Army Regulations to pay due
attention to divine service on the
Lords day. My soldiers are all
Christians certainly, open your
churches, we will all 60

Whatever, answered Sherman.
But, sir, said the clergy men, I'VE
are in the habit Of praying for the
President and Congress-
That's right; pray for them no
objection on this score
Yes, sir-we pray for President
Davis and the Confederate Congress.
Orr said Sherman, you want TO
pray for Jeff Davis do yoH?
Yes, SIR emphatically replied the
clergyman.
All right, said Sherman. his brows
lowering, pray for him, pray for the
devll-pray for both of them the
one needs it as much as the other.
Is that all, gentlemen 2
That was all-tbat was enough.
They had failed to induce General
Sherman to make martyrs of them.
