Tiib mini who would rather he right rlian president is dead, lie was lone some long before lie died. Tilk news from Charleston this morn ing shows that the people are quieting down. The destruction in the city is unjatralleled. Wealth is an enemy to self-reliance and industry. As soon as a man gets a .■uitoe, he wants somebody else to paddle it for him. It is encouraging to note that (lie coun try from one end to the other is coming to the relief of Charleston. The sufferers should command universal support and sympathy. There is nothing sectional in am earthquake. Its visitations cannot tie prevented or confined to limits. It is subject, to no restraints which human foresight has been able to suggest or hu man ingenuity to devise, and that it did not visit some other place instead of Charleston iH due to no superior advant ages of location nor merits of surround ings. An earthquake can ns easily over throw London, Paris or New York us it lies done Naples, Lisbon or Cnruccas in flic pot very distant past or Charleston In tlie immediate present. Subscriptions should come from the cities of Europe as well as from those of America, for all are interested. None can tell whose time it will be next. t l.(IIII li t ELOQl'KM'K. For wild, rugged eloquence tile averu e Florida politician can be bet on. There Is a sort of rank luxuriousness about his rhetoric that, is suggestive of the tropics, j His crew had mutinied and lett him to and their conduciveness to over produc- j perish in the forests, lie obtained coin- lion. in tlie recent congressional con- ; plcte control over the natives by fovetell- bly exact. Whisky seed does not repro duce alter its kind. It sprouts an infinite variety. From it sprout adulteries and deceptions, and gallows and peniten tiaries, and policies Unit are novorcarricd out, and promises that are never kepi. It is a misnomer to call dcatli tlie ‘‘king of terrors,” while rurn is still rampant. Whisky is u king of terrors and a terror to kings. Pulpits pander to its ]lower; strong men don its yoke, and legi-lators grow submissive and obedient in llte red glare ofits basilisk eye. It is said that in ancient times in eastern countries when a man killed another (he murdered man was strapped face to face and finger to finger and lip to lip with ltis living slayer. The hitter was com pelled to walkandgrope and stumble and suffer from the stench of the putrefac tion, and the starvation his sentence en tailed, until at last living and dead sank down together, the living dying a victim to the dead. A man on whom the liquor habit has grown past cure or rem edy, maybe likened to it murderer under going this strange sentence of death, and he may well say with Paul, “who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” UXl’SUAL OCCt'RRENCEIS AMI EFFECTS. Every unusual disturbance in earth, sky and sea is awe-inspiring and nerve- paralyzing just in proportion as the causes which produce it are shrouded in mystery. When the old tar, who, with steady nerve and stout heart, lias braved a hundred storms and run the risk of many a pirate craft, sees some trifling, but to him unusual phenomena, the causes whereof he cannot solve, his ruddy checks instantly blanch with fear, and his knees smite together from weak ness. The tendency in man is to at tribute to supernatural agencies every unusual occurrence which lie cannot un derstand. Many things which in former times produced the greatest fear and con sternation, now that science lias unraveled the mysteries of their pro duction, are regarded as matters of course, and are even treated with famil iarity. It is related in Irving’s life of Colum bus that when stranded upon an un known shore,in out* of ltis many voyages of discovery, and when a large part of A. Ghmsfnrd, in charge of Foiled States -Igmil service for the I’ueillo emi-t. *ays : “T have received a letter fYom an eminent “cientiM in Washington asking me to prater nil the (1 ila i eouid on carMiquakes and their influ ence in California, and agreeing to carry out lii- wish, an idea has struck me. 1 think it would boa good plan to collect all the possible infor mation about the weather in the locality where nn earthquake is felt, at the time and af r Its occurrence, and mark the date, extent and dura tion of the vibrations on the page containing the weather news. In this way u number of earthquakes and the simultaneous anti subse quent atmospheric conditions can be observed and gathered together for comparison. Let -iich recording go on for several years. When suffi cient data have been collected, then they can be compared. The weather conditions then may be found to be exactly similar in each case of an j earthquake after its occurrence, and in this way some accurate knowledge of the meteorological influences of earthquakes may be discovered. If this plan h c irried out by mo, and any trust worthy conclusions arc reachc l, 1 will incorpo rate them in my report to Washington, and ad vise the heads of the bruoau t o instruct aii signal service officers to take observations of earth quakes contemporaneously with their wr ath m observations.” The Fame writer remarks, however, in another part of the same artiele. as fol lows : “It is my opinion that the earthquakes have no perceptible influence on the atmosphere, either before or subsequent to the vibrations, and there fore that the weather is not affected one way or the other by earthquakes. Stiii the impression is widespread that disturbances of the earth exer cise a powerful influence on the atmosphere. You will notice in the common descriptions of earthquakes that such expressions are used as these: ‘The air grew dull and oppressive;’ ‘there was a certain stillness in the air as if the very winds had stopped,’ and the like. Such ex pressions, in my opinion, are more the result of imagination than anything else, and are the direct results of the sudden dread or fear, called the earthquake fright, which probably upsets for those present the equilibrium of nature as effectually as it disturbs their mental and physi cal systems. Yet there are many people who believe that they can foretell earthquakes. I know a man in Hacramento who claims to be able to predict earthquakes. Three or four times a year, like the Canudian Wiggins, the weather prophet, nothing daunted by failures, this man will come into my office and prophesy some earthquake. He stated tome that he never yet felt an earthquake but saw at the same time certain kinds of cirrus clouds in the atmosphere, and observed them twir. and twist in an upward direction. Consequently he believes that these clouds are one of the precedent effects of subter ranean disturbances, and that their presence in the air justifies him in stating that an earth quake will soon occur. It is useless to argue with him that such clouds can be brought about by other causes, and his deduction might or might not be correct. Except in volcanic countries it is impossible from some pe culiarity of the atmosphere to predict the advent of an earthquake. On the eruption of a volcano, when large streams of lava are upheaved, and running down the mountain sides heat the air for miles around, in such a case an internal con vulsion of the earth might be reasonably pre dicted. But in the case of local earthquakes, or small disturbances reaching dmvn a range of mountains, no atmospheric effects have been ascertained by science to justify one in ittf pre diction. It may be there are some after raeteo- rolgical effects of an earthquake which make themselves felt over a wide extent of territory, but such influences have not been investigated sufficiently, if they exist, to enable me to describe them.” - , GOOD ENDORSERS. The following distinguished ohemists unqualifiedly endorse CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR RARING POWDER, manufactured by Cleveland Brothers, Albany, N.

AUSTEN & WILBER, Chemists to the Boards of Health of Newark and New Brunswick, N. J. vention at Ocala when “Charley” Dougherty w as renominated for congress, there was a “Uev. Mr. Hutson,” who dis tinguished himself. When it comes to iiur to them an eclipse of the moon. At j the hour when he lmd told them tlie j moon would grow dark and would he, to them, a sign that the Great Spirit was inflating a figure of speech, and riding a H11 ? v . v with them because they did not metaphor like it was a circus mule, “Uev. : fuvniyh him and his few faithful follow er. Hutson” is there—intensely there, in nominating Mr. Dougherty the “Rev. Air. Hutson” lifted up ltis voice and said that the “born victor of Volusia” would “march to victory like a cyclone with spurs on, and would make Mr. Hi*bee, or Mr. Greeley, or whoever the republicans would nominate, feel like he ha small earthquakes and thunderbolts rollicking round in the seat, of ltis pantaloons." This reminds one of the Texas delegate who seconded the nomitntion of Gov. Ireland in the convention of 188”. Said lie: “Gentlemen, ah ! And when lie is elected, I want to stand with one foot on the North star and one on tlie planet Venus; and I want to reach over and grab tlie star dipper of tho north out of the milky way, and rinse out my mouth with the soda water of salvation, ah I” [Great applause.] But perhaps the most sulphuric speci men of lurid eloquence on record is the speech of old Col. Zelf, tlie war horse stump speaker of tlie Jackson campaign of forty years ago. When some one in a great gathering yelled out tHat “Old Hickory” would be beaten out of his hoots, the old hero of forty years ago arose, and with uplifted bands, hair bristling and eyes flashing tire, cried out; “Build a worm fence around a winter supply of summer weather; skim the clouds from the sky with a teaspoon; catch a thunderbolt in a bladder; break a hurricane to harness; ground sluice an earthquake; bake hell in an ice-house; lasso an avalanche; tix a clout on the -crater of an active volcano; hive all tlie stars in a nail keg; hang out the ocean on a grapevine to dry; put the sky to soak in a gourd; unbuckle tlie belly-band of eternity, and paste ‘To Let' on tlie sun and moon; but never, sir, never for a moment delude yourself with tlie idea that you can beat General Jackson.” WHISKY'S WORK. An Alabama exchange of yesterday says editorially that Policeman Mont gomery, of Montgomery, and .Sheriff Armstrong, of Tuskegee, were both slain because of liquor, and concludes with these words, “fhe man who sold the liquor ..didn’t care for the result. He wanted the money,” It is a feet, to which ers with provisions, they covered the hills watching for the unusual occur rence. The great navigator, by the aid of that science, with which lie was familiar, had already calculated an eclipse of the moon at that hour. As the j moment arrived for tlie fulfillment of his prediction, the full orbed moon be gan to shroud her face in darkness and the awe-stricken savages fell down and worshipped the man of science. . The enlightened people of our day have learned that there is a natural cause for every occurrence in nature, however extraordinary, and while they may dread for the time being the destructive conse quences of great and unusual disturb ances, their fears are not increased by an undefined dread of the supernatural. The ignorant, however, still cling to the idea of a special visitation. We see this difference strikingly ex emplified in the difference of conduct and bearing between the negroes on the one hand and the more intelligent whites on tlie other in the earthquake at Charles ton. While we are told that the earth is “the Lord’s and tlie fullness thereof,” we are also told that man was directed to go forth and subdue tlie earth. To do this lie must not only overcome the wild beasts of the jungle and level tlie ancient forests, but find out the secrete of nature, whether on the earth, above or beneath it, and make her forces, however marvel ous they may seem, subservient to his purposes. Of late years man has been making wonderful progress in this on ward march towards complete victory. Every decade marks an era of wonderful progress, and that which would now seem to be presumptuous and even sacriligious in him to undertake will in a few years be an accomplished fact. We are prompted to these reflections by the bold and vigorous manner in which the scientists of tlie world have taken hold of tlie recent extraordinary occurrences on our eastern coast to clear up the mystery which now seems to en velop them. The activity in this direc tion, as appears from the columns of. all the great dailies from Maine to the gulf, and from the Atlantic .to the Pacific, is indeed wpnderfuj; As bearing qp this' point, we find that Lieutenant William NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS TO THE STOCK OF THE (il l JIIMiMIMV Ul I T being officially known to ihe Board of Di- . rectors of the Georgia Midland and Gulf Railroad Company that the first section of twenty miles of the Georgia Midland and Gulf Railroad, of four feet nin« inches gauge. * between Columbus, Ga. and At lanta, Ga.. or between Columbus.
