■Whole JNo. 169.
How' Rain is 'Formed.
The following short explanation will show
tho philosophy of what within the past
seven Jays has been the most common ‘-lo
■ cni” -occurence.
1. Were the atomsphere, everywhere, at
al’ times, at a uniform temperature, we
should never have rain, or hail, or snow.
The water absorbed by its evaporation from
the sea and the earth’s surface, would do--
scend in an imperceptible vapor, or cease to
bo absorbed by the air when once fully sat
urated. *
2. The absorbing power of tho atmos
phere, and consequently its capability to re
‘tain humidity, is proportionally greater in
cold tnan in wftrtn- weather.
3. The air near the surface of the earth,
is wanner than in the region of the clouds.
The higher tya ascend from the earth, the
colder do we find the atmosphere. Jlcnco
the perpetual snow on tho very high moun
tains in the hottest climates. Now, when
from continual evaporation the air is highly
saturated with vapor, though it be invisible
and the sky cloudless, if its temperature is
suddenly reduced by cold currents of air
rushing from a higher to lower latitude, its
capacity to retain moisture is diminished,
clouds are formed, and the result is rain.
Air condenses as it cools, and like a sponge
filled with water and compressed, pours out
the water which its diminished capacity can
| not contain.
A Bad Darkey.—An cxchang says:
Vc never heard Fred Douglass speak but
once. Ho is a pretts sharp darkey, well
! formed, rather graceful, and entirely ready.
: On tho occasion to which we allude, in
; Philadelphia, his harangue was violent,
made up chiefly of descriptions of the out
rages practiced upon slaves by their masters
and wrought a very decided effect upon tho
crown. Perceiving this, Fred took his ad
vantage at the flood, and went higher into
the realms of eloquence. “My friends,”
said he, “I do not speak from hearsay. I
stand before you a living—l was going to
say a bleeding—witness to (be truth of all
I relate. If you behold the stripes and
scars upon my back—”
Just here an Irishman vociferated:
‘ Ilould ou Freddy, darling—is it truth
your are telling us ?” The darkey orator
lifted his finger tragically to heaven in the
affirmative. ‘ Ocb, murder ! —did they
I lacerate you ?” Fred answered they did.
I “Did they thumbscrew you?” Fred answer
! they did*. ‘‘Did they buck you like a
shoat?” Fred answered that they >did.
“Be gorrah !” roared Pat, “if that be true
you must have been a d—d bad nager?”
It closed the meeting in a general row.
Why People Go to Churcii. —The.
motives which induce different people to go
; to church on Sunday, or any other day are,
very diverse, and in any particular cases
rather difficult to determine. In tho words
| of a poetre correspondent, some go to spend
| an hour of idle time, some to hear the new
i organ, and some to criticise the preacher,
i Some go to show their bonnets, some to see
their friends, some to flirt. “Some go to
| gossip with their neighbors, and some as a
tespitc from their labors. Some go from
an inward sense of duty, and some from an
outward sense of beauty. Some go to
church because they’re Traid to (do other
wise, we suppose.) Some go to sing, some
go to sleep, some go to gaze, and some to
weep. But if all this mixed and thronging
crowd, joining in the responses loud, how
many ts them on Sabboth day, go there to
hear, to heed and pray ?” Echo answers—
“ How many
An Incident op the Evening
Star.— A New York papev says among
the most awful features of the los3 of the
Evening Star, was the large number of wo
men,who had been taken from houses of ill
fame, in the city, for transportation to New
Orleans. Most of these frail ones, it is
said, where young and beautiful, and as
nearly all of them, as is the custom of their
class, concealed their real names under an
alias, relatives and friends, in all human
probability, will be kept forever in igno
rance of their fate. When the final, fear
ful leap into the jaws of death came for
these wretched souls—
“Unanointed unannealed,
With all their imperfect.l >u on their head,”
the picture was one for the mind to imagine,
not the pen to depict.
Novel Conveyance. —Yesterday af
ternoon a gentleman arrived in this city
from Harrisburg in a self-working carriage.
The novel vehicle created no little excite
ment when it came up I’enn to Fifth street.
The carriage is about the size of a common
buggy, bnt is constructed on the principle es
tho manual labor, which arc common on our
railroads. No horse is required; in this
“machine.” —[Philadelphia Dispcitah ,
1 0th.
SSEr" Several of the travelling monkeys
connected with the “Loyal” menagerie
have arrived at Washington. The Sol
diers and Sailors League were making prep
arations to feed them. Those animals will
he rendered perfectly unserviceable before
the radicals get through with them. We
are afraid Anna Dickinson’s prophecy about
them may turn out truer than they hoped—
‘ Returning home to death.” The change
from highly seasoned dishes, Lincoln cake,
and champagne, to red herrins, tripe and
rotten cabbage, may prove extremely detri
mental to the tone of their stomachs.
