Red Snow.


 On the 18th of April, there fell in the French departments Basses-Alps and Isere, an abundant snow strongly tinged with red dust. The red matter was so abundant that from Barcelonette, all the mountains looked ochrey up to 2,8o0 to 3,000m. Above this, the snow remained quite white. A notary of the place had quantity of the snow col lected, and after fusion and filtration, sent some of the dust to M. Daubree, who found in it large proportion of carbonate of lime also mica, and two fel-spars, one of these be- ing orthose. The powder, then, had probably terrestrial, and not cosmie origin but it appears not to be volcanic, like the ash which has sometimes fallen in Scandinavia after Icelandic eruptions; it also differs from the sand of the Sahara, often carried great dis tances by wind The point whence it came is still uncertain, but it is interesting to note that the same kind of substance had fallen in 1946, precisely in the same departments, and in 1863 in the eastern Pyrenees. Showers of similar dust seem to have fallen in Saone-et- Loire on the 18th of April, and in certain parts of Algeria on the 24th.

No. 155 WORTH ST., NEW YORK, Jan. Is, 1878.
 For several years was afflicted with severe form of catarrh and to such extent that my hearing be-
 came impaired, and I was constantly troubled with roaring sounds in my head. It also gave rise to 8 troublesome cough bronchial irritation and pain in my lungs. In fact my condition was such that felt convinced, unless something done for my relief would soon be beyond cure. One physician thought that eventually would be stone deaf another gave me his opinion that catarrh could not be cured and that had to endure as best could its pernfeious consequences Finding the treatuent pursued of no benefit, placed myself under the professional care of Dr. Lighthil of No. West 2sth street, whose
 merous indorsements for skill and from we'll known residents of New York city had been brought under my notice. The result of his treatment has been most beneficial My hearing is perfect, the noises in the head have ceased the pain my has disappeared the bronchial trouble is gone and feel that substantially relieved of what threat ened to be most serious if not fatal, disease I, therefore, cheerfully commend Dr. Lighthill for his ability and skill and feel confident that any similarly afflicted will be benefited by placing themselves der his care. His treatment gives neither pain distress, and readily be borne by the most vous person WILLIAM F. BARNARD.

Letter From NewPort-The City i'm its
 Finest CondftfOn-Some of the Attrae-
 tions for Visitor.
 NEWPORT, June 23. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 This delightful city by the sea is now in it's finest condition. Everything has been re- touched and beautifed for the pleasure of it's residents and visitors. Preparations are made for an exceptionally successful season. New stores have been built and many elegant residences erected. The famous Ocean House has been repainted and decorated. The Casino block built by James G. Bennett of the New York Herald is nearly completed, and is quite an elegant and novel affair It is intended for bachelors quarters for a club of about fifty, with restaurant, bowling alleys, billiards, racket grounds, etc. The main stores are occupied by noted New York business men, such as Sloan, Collender, How ard, etc., who are now getting in elegant stocks of the finest goods to tempt the wealthy patrons of this fashionable resort
 Already the avenue begins to wear gay aspect, many fancy turnouts appearing. The cottages filling up with their fair owners from New York and all portions of the country. Millionaire Keene, from Cali fornia, has one of the finest places here. MT. Wetmore, former student at Yale, hes the pest. It IS a granite manSlOn5 on Wn1cn he expended few years since over $2OO, 900 in repairs alone. MT. Astor also occupies a delightful place, it being the noted Bereader place, which he is improving. In fact the avenue is lined with superb buildings occu- pied by noted people, a mere mention of which would occupy too much space. One should come and see for himself, and more delightful place to see nature and art combined cannot be imagined. Nature has lavished her utmost in ocean grandeur and fowery beauty, while art has aided with princely buildings and groupings money being spent without stint. The air is so soft and moist that lawns flourish to perfection and nearly every place has it's bed of red geraniums, and ribbons and hanging baskets of various hues add their beauty, while many are adorned with rare tropical plants, and with fountains, vases, statues, etc.
 Tomorrow the Ocean House opens with many rooms engaged. The Cliff cottages are already occupied, and by July the city will be at it's best. A new line of steamers has been put on from Greenpoint, and from New Haven one can come via Shore Line and Wickord or now by the Narragansett, pier boat or take the day boat from New Haven and then the Fall River boat from New York.

The question is naturally raised whether General Hancock will resign his commission in the army. The latest precedent is that of when nominated the first time, and did not resign until the day of his inauguration
 General Scott who was candidate for the Presidency, did not resign On the other hand, Generals Fremont and Mcclellan re- signed when they accepted the nomination for the Presidency. General Hancock will probably prefer not to resign upon uncer- tainties

The Cincinnati correspondent of the Bos- ton Globe gives the public piece of secret history related by the editor of the Vermont Argus and Patriot, who was delegate to the Democratic convention, which is important If true. The Vermont editor said to the Globe correspondent 'tSoon after the Electoral Commission had promulgated it's decision, General Hancock wrote to General Sheridan that he believed that GoveEpor Til den had been elected President of the United States, and being so elected he had right to take the oath of office elsewhere than at Washington, wherever he might be; that General Grants term of office expired at midnight of the Sd of March, and if after that hour he received any orders from Mir. Tilden as President of the United States he should obey them. As is well known Mir. Tilden did not take the oath of office, and General Hancock was not called upon to take the steps which he undoubtedly would have taken if called upon. do not know whether Governor Tilden was ever apprised, of this resolution of General Hancock or not.''

It is another queer thing that the loyal Union General Hancock is indebted to the solid South for his nomination. The South ern delegates generally were without marked preference, and were waiting to cast their votes for the winning man. As Hancock led on the first ballot, they rushed to his support on the second ballot. It has been matter of great surprise that Hancock should have de- veloped such strength at the outset in the convention, and it is explained as due in 8 measure to the skillful work done by Senator Wallace, General Duncan. S. Walker, secre tary of the Democratic Congressional com- mittee, General f'Baldy'' Smith of New York and General Franklyn, who were the leaders of the Hancock boom. They established headquarters at small hotel on back street and carried on one of those still hunts for which Mr. Wallace is so famous

In middle night,

In middle night,
 In dewy silence ocean-deep. The hundred pounder on the!bastioned height Awakened from it's sullen sleep And poured with all it's ponderous might A hon-like, grandly solemn roar Which boomed and shuddered on From horizon to horizon.
 Until the lofty frame Of darkness shook from roof to floor Then rose the bomb a-sky, silent, gliding, lurtd fiend of flame, Which mounted swiftly while that awful cry Along the rocking welkin fled;
 It clomb, it sailed, it curved its flight It stood one fearful moment overhead meteor as red as hell Then burst in ruins flaming white, In ghastly shatterings of Hvid light, Magnificent, sublime and horrible While changing like Pandemonic bell The great explosion shuddered on From horizon to horizon,
 And once again the monstrous dome of night Reeled outward from the roar And shook from awful peak to boundless floor. Yea, fearful were the sights and sounds Which swept the wars wide bounds It seemed at times as though we trod Some other and most woful world, Unknown perhaps to God, Or else long since to ruin hurled. Yet never did we shrink; We marched and fought with steady heart; We marched to Hades' brink Without one coward start
 Our cause was good,
 Befitting mans most noble mood; And it was noble, too, to brave The great unknown beyond the grave. All this was godlike, worthy all That we had power to give,
 Though in the giving we should fall Sore wounded, yea, should cease to live.
 VII. Farewell, o bitter daysI We stand Once more as brothers, we who strove :- God help us all the more to love Because we felt each others hand Because we saw each others souls Unhinching, fervent to the death, And worthy of the proudest breath That Hnnors hundar-clarinn rnlls

PRISON OUTRAGEs
How They Do the Business in
Memphis.


Chicago, 30.-Wm. Pennell, OF Chi
cago, was taken to the county hospital
this afternoon and in such condition
that his recovery is very doubtful.
He tells the story of his terrible out
rage and his suffering. According to
his narrative he went to Hot Springs
about q year ago snd last June,
being only partially recovered, he
went to Memphis. He was soon out
of money and obliged to leave the
hotel, and for seventeen days
wandered through the swAmps about
Memphis, occasionally getting 8
little nelp from the negroes. He
finally returned to Memphis and
being arrested was put in the city
prison and kept for forty days.
When he asked for water
the attendants would sometimes
play on him with the hose, and when
he cried out they shackled MIN to the
floor. A negro waiter helped him to
escape from the prison, and while
still delirious he was taken to the
County Poor House, fed on sbomin-
able food, maltreated in every way,
and his condition rendered worse than
before. After various wsnderings
and suferings he again brought up in
the Memphis prison, where his perse-
cutions were renewed. Mrs. Quinn,
OF the Commercial Hotel, taking pity
on him, finally secured his release,
and through the agency of friends
here be was brought back to Chicago
on Wednesday. He tells q straight
forward story and has an excellent
reputation among those who know
him.
