This is all we've lacked OF being great
people, and now we've had IT, Ii just
preceded the rain, and we all supposed
il to be hail. II passed away except on
the tin roof, where il was not absorbed.
Judge Turlcy brought some Of it down
next morning to the Chancery Court
room, but, unlike an estate, il was got
ont after the lawyers had tasted il as
much as they wished. send YOU what
remains Of ii, and wish you To pass II
over to DIR. Summers and Prof. Win
chcll, who will give YOU the long name
for IL. have placed the substance un-
der 4 fair microscope and find IL an or
ganisin, loricated infusoria. From
the average seen in one drop the num-
bcr must have ben immense indeed.
The enclosed jelly i perfectly transpar-
ent except little coal dust and paint
from the tin roof Each animalcule is
enclosed in case or shell Of silica and
all are alike, Of the same family. To the
uneducated eve they mostly resemble,
under the glass, a pile Of minnows. The
eases give the prismatic colors, making
a fine show. Each one has about ten
ella on each side. and two tubercles in
front serve for mouth. One drop
contains about fifty or sixty, and they
have plenty Of room 10 float around.
They are about one-four-hundrcth Of an
inch long. Where they came from
can not say; possibly from the decaying
heaps Of kclp in the Gulf Of Mexico, or,
rs the winds have been blowing from
the north some time, they may have
come from the lakes. .- Nashriiic Amcr-
