Tlie girl’s voni face- reproached more ' I Uian one person in the room for their I ‘ imkimlneus. The gas hau just Let n lighted in Mr. ! Delano’s study, and lonely he sat, before j i liis glowing grate thinking of the past, , recalling the beautiful wife he so cruelly j deserted, and the sweet babe he made j ; fatherless. In the bitterness of his re ! morse he cried aloud : Mona, my wife ! my darling! Thou i wast the torch of hope aud truth and j love to guide me happily to this goaj j of time. How wretched I am. I sink under my iniquity, and the memory of I thy tenderness and love. Oh Mona ! pardon thy unhappy husband !” Hearing a noise in the room, and care lessly rising to S“e what caused it, he stood face to face with Mona. “J. have not. a home or a friend, she sadly said, so I have come to you.” “Yon are welcome, .Miss Egbert.,” he said, “but you loot: sick, allow mo to place you a chair.” But she waived him hack. “No,” she said almost sternly. “I will not bo seated until you have heard my story. Will you listed to it,?’ With courtly grace, he bowed, and she commenced her recital, looking him calmly in the face aud firmly pronounc ing every word. “My father deserted my mother when 1 was an infant. Taking me in her arms she wan lered all over the Mouth, seeking iier cruel husband. At, last she traced him to this city. Bo she came here and after six years of fruitless search died from slow starvation,*and a broken heart. Through the kindness of Doctor St. I Clair and h;s brother I have been cared for and educated. My life has been very I joyless, but quite bearable until the last | week, and almost, in despair J have come 1 to the only person whose right it is to j shelter me- —my Father.” I Bhe ceased, but her eyes never wnmlor !ed from the face of her father. Panting i and palid he gazcl at the woman with eyes bright and wild. “Proofs,” he said, “give them to me.” The words were almost gaspingly spoken. She drew from her pocket a small box aud raised the lid. In it was a ring, a miniature, and an old yellow letter. These she placed in his baud. Ho mere ly glanced at the letter and ring, but grasped the picture with apparently I palsy-shaken hands. He touched a spring THOMSON, yL?

Ah, no ! | as fibe laid her throbbing heart upon her j luxurious pillow, and looked at her j elegant apartment, she drew her hand j across her tired eyes, ami her sweet lips ! murmured “gone from me, gone from ! me.” CONCLUSION. “There is no place like home,” said Doctor St. Clair,as he unexpectedly walked into the sitting-room about two days after Mona's departure, llis hand- ' some face was full of brightness and ; hejjaileetioUiitely kissed the female part of the family, and coidiully shook hands i with Edward. After talking awhile, the j Doctor glanced around the room as j though he missed something. “Where is Mona ?” he asked. “She is gone,” said Miss Anna, in a ! cold, constrain' and voice. “Gone!” said the Doctor. “I suppose , lo give a music lesson. AVlian will she I return ?” “Never,” said his wife. With a start, he rose from his chair, j walked up to Edward and placed his hand on his arm. “Edward,” ho said sternly, “Is this true ?” “It is,” said Edward sadly. “Where is she gone ?” “To live with that villain, Delano,” j replied Edward. “Poor girl!’’ said the Doctor, “she j must have required, indeed, a shelter, to j ask him to take her in. This thing must j be explained,” ho said sternly. “Who drove that girl away from here ?” “Do not speak of her, brother,” said j Miss Anna, “she is unworthy.” “But I will speak of her,” said the j doctor quickly, “and I want to know the cause of her leaving.” “J suppose it must have been love,” said Mrs. St. Clair. “Love!” said tlie Doctor sarcastically, “very little love she bore him. Why, 1 have heard her say, that she would almost die befu. he would ask the pro tection of her father. ,Horace Delano. “Her father !” cried Miss Anna and ! Mrs. St. Clair. Edward sat like one changed to marble. “Yes,” continued the Doctor, “The good for notlung father deserted his wife and child many years ago, and his poor wife died from slow starvation. 1 promis ed Holla’s dying mother to ever he her friend, and shield her from nnkiudness, and how wretchedly have I kept my word.” i Quite overcome he buried his face in his hands. When he looked up he was startled by the fixed gaze of his brother’s eyes, his colorless cheeks, and the un accustomed sadness which his face be trayed. “Edward,” the Doctor said, softly touching him, “are you unwell V” “Yes,” Edward hoarsely replied, “sick unto death. Listen. Robert, by our harshness v. <s drove that poor orphan— lovely, angelic Mo tin—from this house out into the chilly twilight streets, and she, at the best, was but an invalid. God !

There he remained severalbyiirs, packing his trunk, and preparing everything, as though he was going on a long journey. Dressing himself carefully, lie went out into the street, and, after a little hes itation, ascended the steps of Mr. Dela no's residence and rang- the bell. The lmtier admitted him, ushered him into the parlor, and retired with his ■ard.

Will you not say, ‘I forgive you !’ Re meu.b r my blighted youth. Let not your reproach, with my own, creep, henceforth, like serpents, in my soul, to make my future wretched.” “1 shall always remember your kind ness to the poor ‘Orange Girl,’ ” said ! Mona. “You have both my forgiveness and j gratitude.” j “But not your love, Mona ? You will i not give that back to me ?” 1 She did not reply. “It is but just,” ho said softly. “So my lost darling, it is useless to prolong this agony. Good bye. ! Ho pressed her hands to his lips and | walked to the door. “Stay! Edward, stay!” she cried. I A moment, he was at her feet, and her ! arms were around liis neck. [ “You will not go to Europe,” she ! whispered. “Stay with me.” “Not without your love,” he answered. So it came about in this wise that the journey was postponed, and in less than a mouth Mr. Delauo's elegant mansion was thrown open for a grand reception. The rooms were adorned with the rar est flowers. The supper tables were la den with the most costly viands. The elite and beauty of New Orleans were assembled there. Bright eyes ri valled Ibr many diamonds that flashed and sparkled in the gaslight. Among the guests were Doctor St. Clair, and Miss Anna, his sister. The latter looked handsome and almost young, in her black velvet and diamonds. Horteuse Delano, in spite of the few white hairs in her black braids, looked very beautiful. She had on her favorite dress of crimson satin, and looked like some tragedy queen expect her eyes, whose expression partially exhibited disappointin' at, and baffled hate. And last, the observed of all swept through the rooms, in snowy bridal robes, the star of the evening—-beauti ful, pure-hearted “Mona, the Orange girl.” The political economist arc some of them tolerably reliable, but the sohool j master is the best one to apply' to for an I opinion on the scions of the times. NO. 19. THE CYCLONES. A SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF THE GREAT SCOURGE. PROFESSOR BhoFN ON THE I,ATE TORNADO. Special Correspoiuleiice. of the At. Herald. Griffin, GaT, May 7, 1875. Upon the special request of the Con vent iou of the Teachers of Georgia, Prof. Leli. Broun, of the University of Georgia, made the following remarks upon the subject of the recent cyclones that have devastated Georgia : Whenever we are unable to account sos any occurrence beyond the range of the ordinary in nature, we are accus tomed to say it in t he result of electricity. Wind is eh eti'lcilv ? Many of those who flippantly use the mime would be unable to answer the question. Electricity is produced by the falling pf rain ; by the ' changing of air to vapor, by the change of vapor to rain ; by the multiform phys ical changes that occur upon Hie surface of our globe. We see the evidence of ! ilnsistence in the flash that leaps from cloud to cloud, and illuminates creation by the blaze of its intolerable glory. We see the proof of its existence in the holt 1 that shivers to atoms the magnificent forest, king, leaves in ruins the struc ture that boasts to be the result of the ! architectural art of ages. Electricity has nothing whatever to do i with these cyclones. It had been reported that the transit . of Venus had caused these atmospheric disturbances. These troubles wore caused by the unequal distribution of I heat upon the surface of the earth. To any one,having the slightest idea of the relative size of the Hun and the planet Yen ns, to say nothing of the compara tive influence, of the source of all heat, and a body that is not even self-lumi nous, it would be liardiv nee, ss’ary today that, the idea is absurd. Venus has no more, to do with those ilistnrlßuces than tiie amours of the fabled goddess whose name elm bears. To give the si in pies* illustration : Sup pose a circular sheet of witter to bo cov ered by ,i surface of iron* precluding alt j escape, save at one small orifice. Sup pose an iinnietiso‘pressure to bo applied upon this iroß‘ surface. • Common souse would loach that this wnt. l would h^ym smMtr.oss of ttm ovtn®!. . is covered with a stratum of atmosphere which may be taken for all practical pur ! poses to be forty-live miles in thickness. ; lu tile equatorial regions, where the so lar heat is greatest, the atmosphere lie oomes unified and consequently lighten 'd and rises upward. A partial vacuum .is necessarily produced. The air from j the polar regions moves iu to supply the deficiency or partial vacuum. Were the ' earth stationary, a current would lie pro duced from the North polo to the equa tor, and from the Houth pole toward the j equator. For the sake of simplicity we ; will only consider the Northern hemis phere iu which we live. Wore the earth stationary, the current would he due North to Houth, but the earth moves from West to east and consequently the current is bent out of its natural course ; into a North West wind. The ratified anil lightened air rises anil begins to flow back toward the North pole. These two currents must be opposed to each other, and whenever two winds of approximate ly equal force meet there must lie a ro i tury motion. About the time of the cyclones that l swept across Georgia, an area of low Ba rometer was reported at the Signal Office j in Washington, extending from south j west to north-east. Above or north of this area was mi area of high pressure, j Below or south was another area of high pressure. Thus this area of low pres sure formed a trough upon which the areas of high pressure were superim posed, mid the added weight resting up on the lower stratum of air produced a tendency to rise upward at the jaunt of loast resistance. These from all direc tions were established currents towards this point, and to any one who has ob j served tiie tendency of water to form iu j what are familiarly known as whirlpools i the rotary or whirling motion thus pro- I duced will lie easily understood. • A canc el ball moves at about the. rate jof 13,00!) feet per second. A cubic yard j of air weighs about two pounds, and I would therefore move towards this vacn- I uni and orifice with a momentum of ! about 26,000 pounds. A thousand cubic j yards of air would move at the momen -1 turn of about 26,000,000 pounds, aud when we consider the apparently im mense height of the atmosphere, we can, to some extent, conceive of the limitless force of the tornado. Aud as the rota ting current of air passes upward, it en counters the northwesterly current which carries it forward with great velocity in the prevailing direction northeast. The phosphovesent appearance of the clouds was due to the relatively opposite conditions of electricity of the earth, and the. surrounding atmosphere, and thus one side of the cloud might assume an appearance of phosphorescence or elec ; trifled brilliancy while the other side | would appear shrouded in gloom. These j | clouds mv not the producers but the j Advertising Itntos.

From the tremendous momentum of huge bodies of air rushing toward a common centre with an awful power to which the rush of the bullet or the impe tus of the eaunon ball are hut as the breath of the zephyr to the whirl of the storm, we can readily conceive Ikiw in its path the strength of the oak becomes as straw, and the work of man, dissolves into ruin before power of him who holds the world in the hollow of his hand. The above is but a brief auil imperfect summary of the remarks of Prof. Broun. Before the magic of his clear analysis aud plain and simple statements, the 'causes producing the ordinary jihenoine na to the cyclone, became easy of com prehension to the audience who fronted him. CIVIL JtfGHTS. AN EX-PRESIDENT —A NOTED EDITOR AND A FAMOUS LAWYER EXPELLED FROM A NEGRO CAR. On the upward bound train 011 the Macon and Western division of the Central rail road from Griffin yesterday, were the Hon. A. H. Stephens, CoL Clisby, of the Macon Tube/ ph, anil flint fine old gentleman, Col. Oinciniiatus Peejiles, of this city. As is usual with Mr. Stephens, lie took what he thought the seoond class car, so that he could indulge in his pipe and conversation without offense to any one. Everything went pleasant enough, because nobody thought any thing was wrong. Pretty soon an old blind negro man, with his wife, entered the ear and seated themselves. Nothing was thought of this proceeding, mid the Yice-l’resident, editor mid lawyer were in iking themselves as comfortable aa the 0 initition of that road would permit. It was noticed that the ear iu question was of new finish, handsomely upholstered and very neat. The surprise of the whole party may be imagined when the conductor came along aud very plainly told these distinguished gentlemen that they must get out., as that car was provid ed solely for colored people, and white folk.-; were not permitted to ride there. Then the “Great apd>Mr. (M%lsd,eo„fnsqd. \ Mr. Stephens, :i IwWwpmf to ithf ei.iiAgiiil'iby, looked monstrous wise at Mr. Clisby and Gil. I’eejiles, and scratching liis head skid : “Well, Clisby, I have lived a long time ; I have always endeavored to tote fair with 1113’ follow-man ; I pay my honest debts, aud I love my country, but I never expected to witness this scene. Mr. Clisby replied that God, iu His II isorut.il ile widsom and kindness, hail permitted him to live oat the time allott ed to most men ; that lie had successful ly conducted oue of the best daily jiapers iu Georgia for years ; that his conscience was clear and his health good. He had, by uniform good conduct and urbanity of manner, won the respect aud esteem of the entire southwest jiortion of the State, but, now, at this late day, he was forced to leave a car because he was not e jnsiderod as good as a blind nigger. Mr. Stejihens, who had at the first inti mation, grabbed his crutches, and was then making an abortive attempt to rise, remarked to Col. Peeples, iu his peculiar and feminine voice : “Gentlemen, you know me. The world knows me. I have been a most successful school-teacher, and have attained some notoriety at the bar. I have served my State in the councils of the nation. I have been Vice President of the Confederate States States of America, the most bril liant galaxy of confederated stars that ever shone in the firmament of nations. I have successfully “stood” twice for Congress in my district, and am now on nil errand of mercy, having been to Grif fin to address the State Association of Teachers. 1 have already paid my rai'- roiul foie, and paid no attention to the franking nnd mileage jjrivileges of Con gress; but this is the first time I was evir called on to vacate a car because I am not considered as good as a negro. “Come, come,” said the conductor, I have no time to listen to sjieeches, you ought to throw in aud lure a hall for that purpose. This car has been set apart for the colored folks, and white peojile arc not permitted to ride in here. Get out! Amt the poor crippled ex- Presideut, the Macon editor aud Atlanta lawyer were incontinently hustled to the rear car. But after due reflection, Mr. Stephens and Mr. Clisby aud Col. Peejiles each and all decided it was right. The law, in the first place, prescribes certain rales and then the negroes pay full fare, and the railroad authorities provide a first class car especially for their accommoda tion, and white people have no more right there than the negro has to take the car set apart for the white jieople. And all this too, was Carried on when the the two old negroes were sound asleep and had not noticed, nor knew anything of what was going on. This arrangement of the Macon & ’Western road is right and proper, and will tend to prevent any conflict on the Civil Rights question. It is the best practical solution of the working of the Bill that has been made in this country, aud whether or not Mr. Stephens, or Mr. Clisby or Col. Peeples will enter suits for damages under the provisions of the Bill, it is evident that the Ceutral road j does not intend to incur any damages so ! fur as the negro population is concerned | Atlanta Hr raid.
