The Savannah News says: The phenomenon of a
sand spout occurred on Bay atrect on Saturday about
quarter past one o'clock. The column appeared to
have gathered just in front of the Exchange and mov
ed a abort distance up the street. when it broke, a par*
of the cloud of sand descending to the street again,
the balance being whirled off in the air to other quar
ters. There was not much sand on the Stowe pave

the “spout” would undoubtedly have been of greater
dimensions.

enough grown bolls to do tbat; but there is no chance
for a fall crop under any circumstances.

AN ACTION TO BE IMITATED.
A correspondent in this number of the Her
ald, writing from Hempstead, Texas, sends
ns a very interesting piece of information.
Speaking of the evil consequences arising
from the habit the railroads have of giving
half-fare tickets to emigrants, and thus in
ducing a flow of people to Texas, he says that
some German party of unpronounceable name,
who is the immigrant commissioner of Texas,
wrote to the Superintendent of the Central
Bailroad, in this State, asking him
to issue half-fare tickets over his road to peo
ple leaving thia State for Texas. His an
swer to this important proposition is one
that does us good, and it ought to be drum
med into the ears of every railroad President
in Georgia: “Nat one cent for emigration—
thousands for immigration /’*
This is the correct doctrine. When our
railroads stop encouraging the depopulation
of their State by issuing cheap oat-bound
tickets, the Hegira will cease. Not till theD,
we think !
A Royal Marriage.
Correspondence Philadelphia Evening Press.
Something far more serious than Court in
terference with the performance of a play is
now on the eve of cansing no small excitement
throughout England.
Qneen Victoria has signed the contract for
the marriage of the Duke of Edinbnrg, her
second eon, to the GrandDnchen Marie, only
daughter of the Emperor of Russia. The
young man is thirty; the yonng women al
most twenty years old. His personal charac
ter might stand higher than it does. Why, I
know not, bnt he has got the name of being
mean, grasping and miserly. In his tour
through Australia and India, a few years ago,
he accepted with nngentlemanly avidity the
costliest presents, and when he came home
there was imposed npon Mr. Gladstone the
humiliation of demanding a money vote from
Parliament to defray the expense of the pres
ents which tbe Royal Duke had made in re-
tarn. Tbe money was voted, with a grumble,
and Mr. Gladstone, haring defended it, injur
ed himself very much among the industrial
classes, who had relied upon his being their
friend.
WHIT THE CZAB WIU GIVE THE BBIDE.
The Emperor of Russia will give, it is said,
a dowry of £200,000 and an annuity of £20,-
000 for life to his daughter. At present the
Duke of Edinburgh has some £2,000 as a
post-captain in tbe British navy, a life pension
of £15,000 a year, and one of the royal pal
aces, as a Loudon residence rent free. The
Emperor of Russia, who has bargained that
his daughter shall live six months of the
year in Rnssia, gives her the nse of a palace
in St. Petersburg.
EKGUSD’S PBESEST TO THE BB1BEGBOOM.
It is known that, in a few days, a royal mes
sage will be sent to each House of Parliament,
annooncing the intended marriage and de
manding that the bridegroom's income shall
be raised. It Is intended to give him £25,000
per annnm, and to give the young lady £6,000
a year while she lives. It is whispered, too,
that besides his present palace in London, he
shall also have, rent free, of course, Bushy
Park, just opposite Hampton Court Palace.
There is a splendid mansion there, long the
residence of William IV. while he was Dake
of Clarence, and the approach to the resi
dence is through the most magnificent avenue
of horse-chestnuts in England, and there are
several noble avenues of lime-trees on the
gronnds, also. Bnshy Park is just fifteen
minutes west of London, and there is a rail
road close to it.
There is no doubt that the increased allow
ance to the Duke of Edinburgh will be voted
by the Commons and confirmed by the Lords.
But there will be some strong speaking
against it, in, as well as out of Parliament,
and Mr. Gladstone, erst the champion of
economy, will be compelled to urge the old
(aud untenable) plea that, ont of tne Queen’s
personal allowance of £435,000 per annum—
£385,000 Civil List and £50,000 from the
Duchy of Lancastet—it is not to be expected
that she will support her children when they
grow np. On the other hand, it can safely
be anticipated thac the Queen will be plainly
told by a minority in the Commons that
she ought to appropriate part of her
£3,300,000 of accumulated wealth
providing for her family, and that
she has not the slightest legal claim to the in
come of the Dnchy of Lancaster. Outside of
Parliament there will be many and load pro
tests, bnt the additional £10,000 a year will be
voted to the royal Dnke. He has two bro
thers, the Princes Arthnr and Leopold, who
will also have their claims on the public purse
set forth by the Minister for the time being,
and one yonnger sister, the Prinoeas Beatrice,
who will also want to be placed on the pen
sion list. Nothing short of a revolution can
prevent the royal family from thus being
quartered on the pnblic.
THE QUESTION THAT GLADSTONE WOULD NOT
ANSWER THE OTHER NIGHT.
Looking ahead, I see probable trouble on
account of the difference in religion. Of
course, the Russian bride will not change her
faith. She is a member of the Greek church,
and is to have a chapel of her own, with cler
gymen of tbe Greek church attached to her
English palace or palaces, just as her Aunt
Olga, wife of the King of Wurtemberg, has at
Stuttgart. The children, it is arranged,
shall be brought np in the Chnrch of England.
It was one canse of his nnpopularity that
Charles 1., when he bronght to England,
as his wife, Henrietta Maria, daeghter of
Henri IV. of France, fitted np a Catholic
chapel for her at Whitehall, and when James
IL, then Dnke of York, took Ma-y Beatrice
of Modena for his second wife, tbe act
was so unpopular in England that they
had to seek personal safety by a hasty
flight to Brussels. By. the Aot of Bet
element, which placed the present Ger
man family on the British throne, a marriage
of a royal prince or princess to a Roman
Catholic is absolutely noli and void. For
merly the test oath, not now taken by the
Catholics, declared total repudiation of this
doctrine of the real presence in the encharist,
bnt ns the Greek Chnrch admits not only this
but the transnbstantiatlon of the elements, the
propitiatory sacrifice, and tbe adoration of
the Holy Ghost, it is clear that in essential
points, the Greek is as far as the Roman from
the Anglican C-hnrch Very soon, no donbt,
there will be a sharp theologies! controversy
in pnlpit and press on this point. Already
the religions papers with their nsnal intoler
ance are expressing donbts whether a royal
marriage with a member of the Greek Chnrch
can be held valid in law.
One point more has to be noted—the fact
The United States steam frigate, Congress,
now on a three-years’ voyage around the Eu
ropean coast, arrived in the Clyde daring the
latter part of July. She was visited by large
numbers of persons. The officers were in
vited to luncheon by the corporation officials
of Greenock, “the latter," she Scotsman says,
"deeming it their duty to publicly show their
good feeling toward the American officers, the
present arrival being the first American war
vessel that had visited the Clyde for a long
time.” The Congress is a fine vessel of her
claw; is 365 feet long, with sixteen rifled
gnus, and ia manned by a crew of 400 men.
At the Clarendon House hop, tbe other
evening, a gentleman skilled in waltxing,
who had a one regard and admiration tor
Strauss's waltzes, approached the catgut
manipulator—who, though a professional in
bis way, does not subscribe for a Musical
Monthly—and asked him if he wonld play
“A Thousand and Gne Nights.” The artist
immediately replied that he was prepared to
take tbe engagement at two dollars a night.
that, by a family arrangement, recognized by
the German Empire, the Duke of Edinburgh,
on the death of his uncle, Earnest IL, shall
take the place of the Prince of Wales, his
elder brother, and become sovereign of the
Ducby of Baxe-Coburg-Gotha, with a fair
chance of also getting the Ducby of Bruns
wick. Tbe income which his Royal Highness
gets from Coburg-Gotha alone is estimated at
£20,000 a year. No donbt, in the discussion
which will certainly take place on the
Duke's increase of income, some
member will ask whether, when bis
Royal Highness becomes a German
sovereign, he will continue a pension
the British tax payers. It is whispered tbat
the Emperor of Russia is by no tasans favor
able to bis eon-in-law becoming a petty sov
ereign under tbe Emperor of Germany. This
may makennotbtr tangle in the Anglo-Rnsso-
Germau complication.
The Russian Princess, by the way, is fresh
looking and rather pretty, with whet Tenny
son calls an “upward tilted nose." Photo
graphs of her are already in many shop win
dows.

A Singular Story.
A BALLOON LOST IN A WHIRLWIND.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial says:
In view of the preparation* by Professor
Wise and another balloons tic to cross the
in a balloon, it is probable tbat any
thing connected with the art, or science or
folly (as you please) of aerial navigation wiH
be interesting. In the year 1800 my grand
father resided in Sussex county, Delaware,
near the coast, and was fn quently at the sea
shore. In the autumn of that year, while
walking along the beach soon after an easter
ly gale, he picked np a bottle that had been
thrown np by the waves and lay half
buried in the sand, and upon examination
found it contained a manuscript of some kind.
The bottle was carried home and hroken,
after some fruitless attempts to extract the
iper irom the bottle without breaking it.
'hat paper—or what remains of it, for some
parts are gone entirely, ami cn others the
writing has been obliterated by the sal water,
or some other cause—has been preserved by
the descendants of the finder with some degree
of care. The material is unruled and very
coarse, almost as coarse as the wrapping pa
per used at the present day. It was probably
white at first, though now it is saffron col
ored. The document seems to have been a
sort of journal, written apparently with a pen
cil, though, on account of the extreme dim
ness, that cannot be positively stated. It will
be observed that the day of the month is
given, the hour, once the day of the week, but
not the year—though, of course, it was in or
>revious to the year when found, viz: 1809.
t reads as follows:

indicates the same thing. By the trail line
we find that within five hundred fee t of the

ed, but recorering himaelf he continued:
“Bnt so that X may be traced by tboM who
may be willing to succor me, and to rescue
me from my long capUrity, and place me in
the petition to which I rightfully belong la
the world, I would refer them to the articlm
of tho .hip Homan, of New Bedford, Captain
’/be writer of thia extraordinary story say*
that Sir Boger incidentally remarked that he
had made great progress in ffiriliztng the no-

rarriTOr attempted to descend and attract the
attention of tbe vessel alluded to, or fonnd
himself too weak and died by the aide of his
companion, while the balloon sailed oa its
awful rounds with its load of dead until de
stroyed by the elements.
Whether these atmospheric muelstroms ex
ist in reality or not is a matter that might be
rivestigated by tbe Graphic people before they
clear out for Europe.
A Coxrrr.iTE Failure.—Either a very im
aginative young man has died recently in
Davenport, Iowa, or another, almost as bad
ly affected, has furnished tbe Gazette, of that
place, with the story which follows; “One of
the leading citizens of North Davenport had
on only daeghter, who was betrothed to a
yonng man of fair promise, a clerk in a lead
ing commercial house at Eubuqne. His vis
its to the city were regular, and arrangements
had been made lor an immediate union, when
the bride-elect was stricken down with ty
phoid fever, and, in spite of all that skill
and care could do, died. After tho melan
choly journey to Oakdale the yonng man re
turned to Dnbnqne. Nervous fever set in,
and a peculiar balluciuation seized him
that his lost and mourned dear one was
present in the room draped in the garb
which had enveloped her clay. All re
monstrance was in vain. Ho minutely de-
scrioed her dress, her appearance, and her
position in bis chamber. £ven when his pa
rents or friends would sit or stand whero ho
declared her to be, he saw her glide away and
take another place. This went on for weeks,
and the patient was gradually sinking under
the physical and nervous excitement, when a
friendly rnse was tried to cure him of his
ecstaoy. Coming to Davenport, his mother
found that the funeral garments were pur
chased of C, & M., aud made by a Mrs. B.
She procured the material, and had it made
up, and returning, a yonng lady as near in
height and appearance os cunld be found was
dressed to resemble his deceased love, and
dnring one of his fevered nnd brief slumbers
was introduced into tbe room, taking her
seat In a shaded comer. His awakening was
anxiously watched, and sanguine hopes of re
moving his hallucination were indulged in.
He awoke at length, and taming his eyes in
the direction of the pious fraud, stared with
fixed eyeballs for a few seconds, then raising
himself almost upright in his bed, flung his
arms aloft, and shrieking in an unearthly
voice, • My God, there are two of them !’
fell back and expired.”
The Cedebzooi-Goss Case,—-A Westches
ter, Pennsylvania, letter to the Philadelphia
Press says that the Goss and Undorzook mur
der cose bos been squeezed uotil it is as dry
as a chip. No new developments have taken
place since tay lost letter, with the exception
of the finding of the empty valise belonging
to the murdered man at the liouso of Mrs.
Under*ook, the mother of tho prisoner.
Counsel has been engaged for the prisoner,
consisting of the following named gentlemon:
Joseph Perdue, Esq,, of West Chester; Hon.
Wayne llaeVeagh, formerly a member of onr
bar, and Milton Whitney, Esq., of Baltimore;
whits the side of the Commonwealth will be
represented by Abraham Wagner, Esq., Dis
trict Attorney. Messrs. Perdue and MacVeagh
had a long interview with the prisoner yester
day morning, and in the afternoon a medical
examination was made by Drs. Massey and
Price to see if there were any marks of vio
lence npon his person, bnt nothing of the
kind was discovered. His health has been
vary good since his confinement, and bis
spirits reasonably cheerful.
