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.
