PRosTRATED by THE AURORA.

Remarkable Effects Produced in CIeTes
iAnd-WsrEiAS Telegraph Wires.
CLEVELAND, April 1.-THE cleo
trical condition With produced
the extraordinary aurOral display
last night affected a great many
persons here more or less seriously,
part .cularly those troubled with
nervous disorders. The Rev. 0. L.
Brinley, pastor OF tie Prospect
Street Methodist Episcopal Church,
was Frustrated in the pulpit while
praying. Ladies tainted in the
churches, and people who were out
Of doors, as we'll as many who were
indoors, complained Of oppressive
sensations.
CHICAGO, April ia remarka'
bly, bright aurora bOrealiS was viSi'
Bile here last night. A corona was
perfectly defined near tho zenith
The air was so charged with cleo
tricity that the telegraph wires
would not work with the batterieI
connected. The wires between
Chicago and St. Paul, Chicago ant
Milwaukee, and Chicago and Oma
ha we're worked by atmosp heri'
electricity without batteries. Th'
wire between Chicago and New
York was closed, owing to the fac
that ST. Paul had not been warne'
to disconnect the battery. The dis
play at St. Paul Is reported to hav
been very brilliant.
PETERSBURG, Va, April 17.-Th
display Of the aurora borealis la'
night was one of the most magniI
cent sights ever witnessed here an
lasted until 4 o'clock this mornin.
j.. The light resembled a great conh'
, grafton, and was so brilliant tn
the street lamps could easily haN
been dispensed with.

The New York Herald says: The
latest agricultural reports from the
South Indicate the dawning OF new
industrial development in that Sec
ton Of the country. King Cotton
has been partially ~detbrOned, and
Southern farmers, or, as it is the old
time fashion to call them, planters,
are beginning to learn the advantage
that come from diversified crops.
Accord ng to the latest reports Of
the general government agents,
more corn has been planted this
year in the Southern States than
ever before, and next fall will see a
more diversified crop than the
South has ever yet yielded. II
seems to have set itself to the task
of producing all the articles thai
enter into its own consumption
This policy will make it i~ndepend'
ent of the E st and of the West.
There is no good reason why thu
South should grow cotton alone
When it shall learn, as it now ap
; pears to be learning, the true rela
ton between production and con
sumption, it will have made a yer,
great stride in its material! develop

Tho Memphis Appeal for 1882.

In issuing its prospectus for 1882,
the APPEAL has but n promise to
make, and that is, a determination to
maintain its character and rank in the
forefront of American newspapers
The Appeal is 10 regarded as n Of
the Institutions of the South. Its his
tory for the past forty-one years is the
history of the development of South
ern thought, Southern politics, South
ern industry and Southern literature,
and its sympathies and aims will be
the same in the future. The paper will
continue to be the constant reflex Of
the most reliable intelligence obtaina-
BILE from all parts of tho world. 1t will
remain intlexibly Democratic, but its
space will be mainly devoted to news,
the interest Of agriculture, trade, COM
merce, manufactures, internal improve
ments, the development of Southern
resources and all branches of industry.
While always on the alert for the latest
intelligence, it will avoid the sensation
al, and will pander to vitiated
tastes. The APPEAL is specially de-
voted to the interests Of Tennessee and
Memphis, its great commercial empo-
rum, and will use its best abilities "
promote both. 1t realizes that the tU-
ture empire of this country lies in tue

The death Of Charles Robt. Darwin
removes from the world the leading
scientific mind of the nineteenth
century. Surprising most men in
accute observation Of natural facts
and phenomena, of which he had
accumulated an almost inexhausti.
BILE store, Darwin surpassed all his
cotemporaries In his powers of gen.

of his observations theories as
sound as they we're startling. His
theory 0! the descent of man, i'm.
perfectly Understood by the masses,
while it has been widely accepted
ia the scientific world, can hardly
be said to be established. There
are links missing in the chain Of
evidence supporting it. But all
scientific Investigation goes to
strengthen it, and render the theO.
ry of evolution the doctrine of the
Gu .ure. 1t has been holly disputed
by theoIogiars as an attack upon
the special creation theory, and as
calculated to impair belief in the
accuracy of Scriptual revelation,
but it encounters no more bitter
opposition from that quarter than
did the COperniCan theory Of the
Srder OF the planetary system when
first announced. Should il be al
successfully established, theology
will find q way Of accommodating
itself to it, az it has in so many 9th

has run counter to preCOnceiveC
opinions.

Four years after the poet Longfellow met

were five children given them-Charles Apple

legra. But the poet WAS not too happy
long; with five lovely children, a beau
tiful home, II noble and lovely wife, famo,
honor, wealth, all tho world could give.
there came to him an ever abiding sorrow. On
July Q, 1861, while Mrs Longfellow was sosl-
ing an envelope, inclosng one of her chill
dren's curls she had cut of, her dress took
fire from the wax taper with which she had
sealed the letter. As tho summer dress was
light and infammable, the flames could not
easily be extingushed. Mr.. Iongfelow ran
out from OH adjoining room, clasped his wife
in his arms, partly subduing the fire on one
side of her face and body; but the flames had
done their fatal work-she expired in a few
hours, in great suffering Severely burned
himself, and almost wild with grief, Mr.. Long
fellow shut himself up in his room, walking
TO and fro, and wringing his hands, crying
wife!n He never recovered from tho shock
which so early whitened his hair, and gave g
tinge Of sadness to every after-joy of his lifc,

husband had protected from the flames looked
