A few nights ago, about midnight,
the people Of our town were startled
ont of their sleep by the rapid dis
charge Of ten or twelve pistol shots.
It turned out to be . lot OF young
sters on spree. who were firing off
their pistols in pure deviltry. This
may be all very funny. boys. but it is
extremely rowdyish and ungentle-
manly to disturb an entire commu-
nifty in this way. especially as on this
occasion, when two sick ladies we're
very much frightened. Our Mayor
should see that such rufianism is
put down. Perhaps. il grand jury
were to investigate : little it would
have . tendency to prevent such .
promiscuoos Aourishing Of pistols in
youthful hands.

Professor Tice may be lunatic on
some subjects, but the old chap is
remarkably correct when it comes to
guessing at the weather. Here are
his predictions for August:
About the It'll cloudy, threatening,
with heavy local rain-storms; also
about the 18th, accompanied with
very severe storms and torrential
rains. A tropical hurricane will
probably appear either upon the gulf
OF South Atlantic coast. on the 10th.
If SO high barometer, clear or fair
weather. with northerly winds, will
prevail in the center of the continent
until the hurricane has passed down
the gulf stream, ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
If it should prevail, frost is liable to
occur in the western of the northern
tier of States. From 26th to Both
cloudy, threatening and heavy local
storms, with liability of any tropi-
cal storm upon the gulf or South
Atlantic coast about the 26th. This
month will be characterized for excess
siye rains, especially along the gulf
and Atlantic coasts The average
number of storm centers passing
over the continent is eleven for Ant
gust. In the center Of the continent
they are more marked for h,.avy rain
falls than for bail and tornadoes,
though the latter are frequent and
terrific. Tropical hurricanes begin
to make their appearance either from
the gulf or South Atlantic. in August,
and continue till October.

Eccentricities in Hair.

These oddities of fashion are by no
means the least interesting features of
the worlds history. Take the hair for
instance. In Lydia men and women of
fashion wear their splits in innumerable
locks, with a golden ball or other orna-
ment at the end of each. Dyed hair,
like wigs, originated in Biblical times.
Purple, pink and scarlet have all been
popular colors. The Romans used to
smear their hair with ungaents, and
powder it with gold dust to secure the
blonde tint they admired in the hirsute
adornment of their German foes. Dia-
mond, ruby and emerald dust were SINH.
LARRY employed. The young ladies and
gentlemen of Gaul washed their heads
in ehalky fluid to render them more
fiery red than nature had made them.
The historic warrior Hannibal wore o
wig through all his campaigns.

on the counter with . severe end forbid

key cashiers possess such areputation
for acumen in the detection.of spurious
coin in the countries whore they are

the neighborhood, and fairly ruining the
industrious fruiterer in single night.
In order to defeat their raids proprietors
train monkeys to dless themselves in the
skins of tiger cats and conceal themsel-
yes in tie foliage of the trees.
Thus clothed in the psnoply Of the

that they never revisit premises from
which they have once been driven in
this way, and that the proprietor for
ever more enjoys an immunity from
their depredations which cannot be pro.

THE MONKEY OF BURMAH.

The Scientific News, in recent essay

despised connecting link, that an asso-

the writer, who has passed many years
in Southern Asia, the monkey makes the
most reliable cashier in the world, and
when we'll trained, is able to discrimin-
ate between true and spurious coin with
Il delicacy to which his master cannot

FOUND DROWNED.

Yesterday afternoon, while Captain
Heacock, Of the steam tug Falcon was
coming in the Christiana. he discover
ed body of man floating in the
creek just below the mouth of tho
Brandywine. He stopped the tug,
and made the body fast and towed Il
to this city. The Coroner was notified
and the body removed to L. w. Pal
mer's, No. 103 Shipley street.
The body was in a state Of decom-
position, and portion of the face had
been eaten away. There were no
marks or papers whereby it could be
recognized. Around the neck was q
cross and small bag. When found
the body was clothed in shirt and o
pair of pants.
At first it was thought that the
body was that of Paul Jeane Rene,
who fell from the schooner Charles
Dennis on Tuesday night, while being
towed out of the creek, but the gener-
al opinion was the body had been in
the water much longer time. Coro-
ner Butz held an inquest last evening,
and the jury rendered verdict that
the deceased came to his death from
causes unknown to the jury.
The sailor who fell from the schoon-
er on Tuesday night, had whale
picked on his arms, but there was no
such mark on the body found yester-
day. The remains have been buried
in the Potter's field.
