FRED DOUGLASS Alta RECEPTION.

How the Presence Of the Noted Colored Man
Shocked Some Southern People
TIE nerves of a good many southern
people were shocked by the presence of
Fred Douglass az reception given by
Senator and Mrs. Palmer TO the inter
national council OF women last week, says
a Washington letter to The New York
Tribune. When he was discovered In
the parlors one indignant matron from
Alabama called her daughter to her side
and left the house without bidding the
host aud hostess Vc51 night. Another
lac y, the VIE OF the son of southern
Statesman, gathered, | hea', 4 circle of
ympathizing friends arouad her in one
OF the dressing ROOMS aud vigorously
protested against indignity put upon her
by being compelled to be in the same
room with Fred Douglass. She did not
leave the house, however until after the
supper was served. The wife of a
southern member Of congress was heard
TO remark:
81 have got calloused to this sort Of
thing. Ii winter long I've been associat-
ing with the most horrible kinds of Yam
KEGS. | don't reckon that I'll be skeared
at a niger this late in the season.
The correspondent of asouthern news
paper Indignantly left the house as soon
as he discovered Mr.. Douglass, and de-
clsred that he would give Senator Pal
mer Ain his dispatches for insulting
people in that manner Two young
ladies', the daughters of a congressman
from one of the gpf states, had long
discussion as to whether they would go
or "staye" the elder insisting that their
! father and mother would never forgive
them if they staid III the same drawing
room with a Niger, and the younger
| pleading for respite, as she was having
"such a good time" They finally agreed
to refer the matter to the wife of south

Strange Conjectnres rs TO Possible Catastro-
phes to the World.
London Sunday Times
Speculation is ever rife as TO what ca
tastrophe may oyertake this globe of
ours. Someone has made calculation
of how the earth may be com pletely sub
merged-that is TO say, If only the terres-
tial forces could be directed in the way
required to accomplish such an end. The
height of the land ABOVE the sea level is
$500 feet, and the mean depth of the
ocsan IS II 4S0 feet. Only two per cent
of the sea is included within a depth Of
500 fathoms, while n per cent. lies be-
tween 500 and 5000 fathoms. If, now,
the land were filled into the hollows of
the sea, the latter would roll over the
earth'a crust to uniform depth OF two
miles.
Another curious speculation has been
made concerning what would happen
were the sarth's rotation to cease. The
diameter being twenty-six miles NOR"
than the polar diameter, the earth would
present IN equatorial zone Of solid
ground miles high above sealeyel, the
water al! being drawn TO the poles. This
land zone would then be like our Artio
regions, and would be banded by ring
of permanent ice and snow.
