The volcanic particle theory re

The volcanic particle theory re-
garding the red sunsets of the past
fall and present winter, seem to be
gaining ground. Mr.. Wharton, a
naturalistof Philadelphia, discovered
in the snow which fell in that city
on January Goth, a pumice, or lava
like dust, which he accepted as ac-
counting for the late peculiar tinted
twilights. This theory was some
what corroborated when the captain
of the ship Ridgvay reached Phila-
delphia, and gave the scientistspeci-
mems of pumice dust, which covered
the water when the vessel was some
five hundred miles from the island
of Krakatoa, the scene of the ex-
traordinary Javan eruption. Al
eminent French scientist, too, ha.
just come forward with a similar
theory.

Affairs in Egypt are confused and

Affairs in Egypt are confused and
and underlined: the whole country
seething, and presenting but little
promise of better days. The whole
head is sick and the whole heart is
faint. The long pent up disorders,
expressions, weaknesses and evils
of every type and dye are upon the
face of the country, depicting how
evil it3is at heart, and how desperate
the remedy must be. Gen. Gordon,
in Khartoum, gained momentary
success by his presence and procla-
nation, but SO desperately situated

treachery, that he must evacuate it.

The Industrial South says: "Thou-
sands of enterprising people from
the North, from the West. and from
Europe, are coming into the old
slave States; millions of money are
coming into them, too, and the
effects of the new impulse thus given
to the South are seen, and seen
plainly now, throughout the length
and breadth of her territory. The
South is no longer a lethargic land;
her immense natural resources are
no longer unobserved and unregard-
ed; her people are awake and at
work; she is enlarging her fields and
diversifying her crops; she is bring
ing up her minerals to the light of
day; she is building up manufac-
tories; she is extending her lines of
railroad; she is cutting into her for
ests,in which she finds a great source
of unexpected wealth. In word,
she is aroused, full of energy, full of
enterprise, full of confidence, full of
courage, as well as full of every
material thing on which a people
may reliantly depend for prosperity
and power.

To attend the Carnival festivities
at New Orleans, distinguished par
ties from Cincinnati engaged special
trains over the Louisville and Nash :
vile, and the Cincinnati Southern
routes. Both trains left at the same
minute for race South, and much
emulation and interest were excited
by the one thousand mile run. The
train on the former line made the
distance in twenty eight hours and
fifteen minutes, the quickest trip
ever run between the two cities,
some portion of the journey being
at the rate of over a mile a minute
The Cincinnati Southern, with nearly
one hundred miles less distance
came in three hours behind the
Louisville and Nashville. The train
however, had a vexatious delay owing
to freight train breaking down.

of the roof was blown off, nearly all
the glass work destroyed, booking

other damage, and injury to sur

Kansas is now the leading sor-

can be made a very profitable field

years he has been experimenting
with a result that he thinksTennesset

steps towards making Tennessee

"No man has any right to cherish

count of any attitude the latter may
have assumed during the late cam
paign. This is free country, in

owns himself and his vote, and rhe
man who conccives a malice against

simply Injuries his standing with his

Exactly; just so. No man has a
right to dictate to another how he
shall vote, or what political senti-
mcnts he shall entertain. 1t does
not necessarily follow that because
one votes adversely to another that
he does so because of personal enmi-
ty. The best friends often differ in
political opinions, as well as in their
choice of men for Office. 1t is only
weak-minded individuals who bear

SEINE Things 30 Consider.

My son, there are some things
that boys ought to know. AT your
age young man should be inquir-
ing into things. An apple fell at the
feet of Newton, and while he was
wondering how it was that as apples
came down cider always went up,
he discovered the law Of gra, ,itation,
whereby farmers are enabled to put
a peck Of apples in seven quart
basket. Now every young man
should be obscryant, thoughtful, and
study great deal from the book Of
human nature. How does it come
that your party frequently selects a
ninety pound man for two ton
Congressman? Why and how does
the clerk with the smallest salary
wear the best clothes? Why does
the smallest towns have the biggest
mayor? why is the oath of an amateur
fisherman considered void and of no
force in court? Why does an alarm
clock make the loudest noise when
you want to sleep? Why does
mans own deg always get licked in
a fight? Why is it that your 2;30
horse can never trot inside Of 3:75
when anybody else is along? Can
you rely on the parsons word in a
horse trade? And if not, why not?
Why is it that the man who snores
always gets to sleep first? Why is it
right to steal from the Government?
Why is the farmer more honest than
than the city man? If so, how many?
Why does spring chicken live lon
ger than an ostrich? Why does the
man with the fewest troubles make
the most fuss about them? Why is
a man so much better than his neigh
bors? How ia it that the country
goes along just as well when Con
grcss isn't in session? Why does the
man with the smallest advertisement
always want the biggest "local"
Why an ugly man have such pro
found contempt for personal beauty?
Why does tramp hate soap? Do
the best men in America rule this
country? Is the President always
the best and wisest man in all the
land: Does the judge really and tru-
ly know more law than any Of the
lawyers who practice in his court?
Is the member Of Congress honestly
and truly the most intelligent and
ablest man in the district? Arc the
members of the School Board men
of education? Consider these things,
my son. 1t will do you good to
think over them, even though you
may never solve the easiest conun-
drum in the lot.
