A BeauhruI Phenomenon.

Pensacola Avalanche.l
One Of the most interesting meteo-
Biological phenomena, called water
spouts, occurred on our bay Sunday
evening, aud the many who saw it
speak Of it as something very beauti-
ful. Waterspouts are caused, accord
ing to the opinion Of some, by whirl-
winds of extreme intensity, while
others ascribe it to electric origin.
AS there were no appearance of the
former element Sunday evening, the
latter theory must be accepted, we
presume. This one took shape off the
old Frascati, and travelled in an OBJ
lique manner to the other shore,
where, after reaching shoal water, it
burst between Red Fish Point and
Forty-nine Pines. Its appearance was
that of a c%onical pillar Of condensed
vapor, the apex Of which apparently
reached an altitude Of an hundred
feet. A seafaring man. who has spent
the greater portion of his life on the
waters, and whose eyes arc familiar
with such sights, tells us he never saw
a more beautiful one on the high seas,
where theyare of frequent occurrence.
The bursting Of this w%aterspout is
spoken of as past description,

In a dispatch sent from the National

the situation is expressed than has
heretofore been promulgated. The
dispatch says: 1.-THE fever is still
chiefly confined to Memphis and to a
limited district of New Orleans,
though we have advanced one week
into the most dangerous month of the
season. Up to the present date there
have been but twenty reported cases
in New Orleans, and 873 cases in
