THE DAILY PRESS.
VOL. 111.
A Moving Rock
The last sensation mentioned in our
Southern exvbau£rt*s» i® wn tinmens*
moving mass of rock in the Northern
portion of Arkansas. The Memphis
Atalanche has been furnished with an
account oi this incredible phenomenon
by a distinguished lawyer and politician
of Tennessee. This gentleman derives
his information from two young English
noblemen, who have visiter! the far
Southwest in search ot scientific kuowl
edge. The Avalanche says:
Southwest, about ten miles from the
source of the St. Francis River, which
rises in ti e Ozark Mountains, und a
short distance from the boundary line
which separates Missouri from Arkan
sas, is a strip of limestone, or green
stone, ranging from between one to two
miles in width. It is interspersed here
and there with plats of land, in many
cases over an acre iu length, peculiarly
rich in soil, and making the strange
and, perhaps, hitherto unknoirn confor
mation of a swampy and rocky soil.
At the extreme northeast extremity
of this rocky section the water front the
St. Francis pours in, especially in the
spring and fall seasons, in a heavy
volutfle. The stream, for it Ist nothing
else than a stream, although its current
is swift beyond parallel, takes a zig-zag
course through the rock, being particu
larly swift at the above-mentioned ex
tremity, and again empties into the St.
Francis. At this extremity is a solid
mass ot rugged and picturesque rock,
almost oval in shape, washed on all
sides by a rapid current, and moves
directly and regularly back and forward ;
always in motion, and creating a deep
and heavy sound, which can be heard
for miles. At first its motion is hardly
perceptible to the ordinary vision, but
•as the sound increases aud the strange
eye tests more directly and minutely,
the object becomes palpable’. On either
side of this immense moveable sub
stance, which, as we have said before,
is surrounded by a swift current, are
here and there eddies threatening in
stant destruction to everything coming
within its yawning and awful reach.
The mass of rock is covered with wild
vegetation, which grows up thickly and
spontaneously.
Licbn’se of THg Fkkxch Bab —M.
Paul Girard iu a sketch of the eminent
French advocate, Maitre Emmanuel
Arago, gives a curious illustration of
the license which the members of the
bar in that country occasionally allow
themselves in behalf of the clients. The
ease iu which M. Arago first made a
reputation was the tri il of a young man
named Huber and Mademoiselle Lame
Qouvelle for a plot against Louis Pliil
lippe. M. Arago, in defending the
former, exclaimed. ‘ Huber is a man
whom I esteem, whom I love, whom I
shall never forget, as I hope he will
never torget me—a man, a gentleman,
whom I could desire to be my own
brother. Surely you will give him back
to me.” Aud at the close of this sin
gular peroration the impassioned coun
sel fell upon his client's neck and em
braced him. The jury, however, took
their own view of the case, and returned
a verdict of guilty. When the prisoner
appeared to receive sentence, M. Arago
again hugged his client, while M. Jules
Favre, who defended Mademoiselle
Gouvelle, flung himself into hor arms
and kissed her—perhaps a more natu
ral and pleasant proceeding. “In fact,”
as M. Girard remarks, “there was a
great deal of embracing in that case.”
Wur.L Put.— Rev. Dr. El wood Young
author of “Night Thoughts,” a little
herore his marriage, 1781. was walking
in life garden in Welwyn, with his lady
and another, when a servant came to
tell him that a gentleman wished to
speak with him.
“Tell him,” said the Doctor, “I am
too happily engaged to change my situ
ation.” The ladies insisted that he
should go, as his visitor was a man of
mark, his patron and his friend ; and as
persuasion had no effect on him they
took him, one by the right hand and the
other hv the left, and led him to the
garden gate.
He then laid his hand upon his heart,
and in that manner, for which
he was so remarkable, uttered the fol
lowing lines :
Thus Adam looked when from the garden
driven
And thus disputed orders seot from heaven,
Like him I go but yet to go am loth,
Like him I go, for angels drove ns both,
Hard was his fate, but mine still more un
kind,
His Eve went with him but mine stays be
hind.
How Bkownlow’s Suffuage Law
Wouks.—A firm in Nashville, one of
the largest and most respectable mer
cantile houses in the West, paying an
nually many thousand dollars of taxes,
has, including clerks, six persons em
ployed in the concern besides the porter,
who is a negro. Tho latter is now the
only one ot the whole concern who is
allowed to vote under the present Brown
low Constitution. The point of the joke
is that the negro was the bitterest rebel
of all, aud was an officer’s servant in
the late rebel army, and when fighting
by his master’s side he was the third
man over the ramparts of Fort Pillow,
where he fell like a thunderbolt upon
the negroes who so gallantly surrendered,
that stronghold.
Two Barnums ix the Field. —The
Democrats of the Fourth Congressional
District of Connecticut have nominated
William H. Burnum, of Salisbury, as
their candidate for Congress. So there
are now two Barnums in the field—Bar
num ot Salisbury, and Barnum of
Bridgeport; Barnum the iron man, and
Barnum the showman. The Democrat
ic Barnum is a man of large wealth and
solid reputation, identified with the bu
siness interests of the District and pps
sessing the respect and confidence of
the community. It is said that he is
very desirous of defeating his namesake,
and will prosecute tho canvass with
vigor.
—A novelty at an elegant wedding
which occurred a few diaya since in
Troy, N. Y., was two pretty girls, lesa
than twelve years of age, acting aa
