Sunset Cox.

The effort that gave 5. S. Cox his sobri-
quot is as follows:
What peculiar sunset was that of last
night. How glorious the storm and how
splendid the setting of the sun We do not
remember ever to have seen the like on our
round globe The scene opened IN the west
with whole horizon full of golden interpen-
Grating lustcr which colorcd the foliage
and frightened every object into its own
dyes. The color grew deeper and richer, I'M
til the golden luster was transformed into a
storm-cloud, full of finest lightning, which
leaped in dazzling zigzags all over and
around the city. The wind arose with
fury, the slender shrubs and giant trees made
obeisance 10 its majesty. Some even snap
ped before its force, The strawberry beds
and grass plats turned up their whites" to
see Zephyrus march by. AS the rain came
and the pools and the cutters hurried away,
thunder roared grandly and the fire bells
caught the excitement and rang with hearty
chorus. The south and east received the
copious showers, and the west all at once
frightened up into long polished belt of
azure, worthy of Siciian sky.
Presently cloud appeared in the azure
belt in the form of castellated city. 1t be-
came more vivid, revealing strange forms of
peerless fanes and alabaster temples and
gories rare and grand in this mundane
sphere. 1t reminds us of Wordsworth's
splendid verse in his Excursion"
The appearance nstauianeOusly disclosed
Was of mighty city, boldly say
wilderness of buildings sinking far
And self withdrawn into "A wOndrOus depth,
Far sinking into spendor without end
But the city vanished only to give place to
another isle, where the most beautiful forms
Of foliage appeared, imsging a paradise in
the distant aud purified air.
The sun, weared of the elemental commo-
ton sank behind the green plains of the west.
The great eye in heaven" however, went
not down without dark brow hanging over
its departing light. The rich flush OF I'M
earthly light had ceased when the solemn
church bells pealed, the laughter of children
rang out, joyous after the storm is heard,
with the carol of birds, while the dark and
purple weapon of the skies still dartcd illum-
inaton around the Startling college, trying to
rival its angels and leap into its dark win
dows.

SIXTY GOLD DOLLARS.
what was Found in a Mail roucl

What was Found in a Mail Pouch.
\ Washington special to the Courier
Journal. August -, says:
The Postmaster General has letter to-
day inclOsing $50 in gold from the Italian
Director Of Ports, with the explanation
that the money was found loose in mail
pouch containing ordinary letters. re-
ceived from New York on May Is, and
that the station postal authorities
had been unable to discover to whom the
gold belonged. 1t probably represents
the savings of some thrifty Italian
labOrer who desired TO send it to his rela-
tiyes nj home, but it is rather doubtful
whether his desire will ever be gratified.
As the money was inclOsed in an ordinary
letter, no cleW to the sender could be
found. 1t frequently occurs that coin sent
in registered envelopes escapes from them
and is found loose in the mail pouches
Usually a careful examination of all the
packages enables the postal officers to re-
store 1t to its proper place or to return it
to the sender.
For several years the subject has en-
gagged the attention of the officers of the
Post Office Department, and many at
tempts have been made to devise regis
tered envelope which, while strong
enough to resist the abrading action of
the coin, should not be too expensive to
preclude its use. In Great Britain per-
son sending a registered package is re-
quired to buy the envelope in which it is
sent, and linen-lined envelopes are pro-
vided for that purpose. They cost two or
three cents apiece. In the United States
no such charge is authorized, the cost of
the envelope being included in the fee for
registration, which is too small to justify
a more expensive envelope than the one

securing as her share of the estate some
$4,000.
Her attorney in the suit was a Gentle
lawyer named Albert Hogan. who was
also one of the attorneys for Ann Eliza,
the prophets nineteenth spouse, in the
celebrated divorce case. The attorneys
interest IN his fair client went beyOnd the
business character of their relations, and
Hogan's attentions to the fair Mrs. Num-

insane and was sent to an asylum in Ken

gan and his Mormon client went down to
Socorro, New Mexico. the scandal mon

They had been in SOcOrro only short

closer intimacy, resulting, much to the
rage ana disappointment of Hogan, in a
marriage.
McAllister has also a remarkable his

latOrs sold six ranches, located i'm New

a force of desperadOes to take fOrcible

CHAUTAUQUA, y. Y, August 24.-This
afternoon six thousand persons assem-
bled to hear the singing of Federal and
Confederate war songs and addresses by
Judge Albion w. Tourgee, of New York,
and Rev. DIR. Atticus G. Haygood, of
Georgia. DR.. Vincent asked the soldiers
OF either army present to come to
the platform and 200 responded. After
the singing of war hymns, Judge Tour
gee spoke. He said that every nation
should sing its own songs. 1.-The Watch

late war was the result of animosiJy. 1t
was over and the South has made more
progress in the four years of the war
than in the half century before. True,
the emancipation of slaves is the educa-
tion of freemen. Yesterday set free the
body, tomorrow Will set free the soul.
DR.. HaygOOd was introduced and greet
ed with cheers. He waved the United
States flag in response and said that
Georgia is now under the stars and stripes.
Il have seen the time when l would have
died for the other flag, and you would
despise me if l were ashamed of that
flag. Now | am obliged to the Chair for
trying to sing rebel songs, but they could

be demanded. Boys growing up South

which were standing before the approach
of storm there is not sufficient material
to build the most ordinary frame shelter.
All household furniture and clothing was
also completely destroyed. The reported

Il confusion of names. A careful inquiry

the country adjacent to Rochester has
not yet been accurately computed.
Details from the surrounding district
show that the cyclone swept over a terri
tory sixty miles in length and above two
miles wide, leaving in its path nothing
but ruins. To form an idea of the loss
one has only to estimate the value of all
the improvements that had been made in
the section visited by the cyclone. and

is now estimated at $3j0OOO. ReDOrts

GEKMANY's INSULT TO FRANCE.

The London Times Characterizes the
Gazette's Article as IA Vulgar Menace.
LONDON, August 24.-The Times this
morning again comments at length on
the article against France recently pub
llshed in the Berlin North German
Gazette, and which has attracted much
attention throughout Europe. The Times
says that the Gdzette'S article is a gross
and deliberate insult. If it fails to shock
the public opinion of Europe it is only
because we are accustomed to hear Ger
many address France in terms wholly
unknown to European diplomacy. To
prefer an untenable charge in language
calculated to wound and humiliate
france is an outrage upon decency
and courtesy. Diplomacy has abundant
resources for conducting. controversies
without resOrting to language of vulgar
menace. Paris papers give various rea-
sons for the article, including the recent
unYeillng at CoubeYar of a monument
commemorative OF the defense of Paris.
the vote for Fortress Artillery, the tour of
inspection of General Thibaudin, the
French Minister of War, and the compile
tiOn of the forts on the eastern frontier.
lie Paris National states that the idea of
mobilizing the French troops has been
abandoned.
The Cologne Gazette hints that the
Reichstag was summoned, owing to an
intention to mobilize the troops.
The Standards correspondent at Berlin
says that the report that France will
shortly mobilize her Eastern army corps
has attracted serious attention here.
Germany will make counter demOnstra-
tion if the idea is carried out.
The Paris press insist that they have
given Germany no just cause for offense.
They say that France sincerely desires
peace. She should keep calm, but be pre-
pared for anY emergency
