Bonxnonr bos found another explana
tion for the alarming sounds in Bald
Mountain, North Carolina. It is, that
there is a subterranean passage connect
ing the mountain with a railroad out,
many miles off, in whidh the contraotom
are at times blasting the rocks by heavy
charges of nitro-glyoarine. The supposi
tion is that the sound of the blasts is
eoaveyed by this passage into the moon-
tain, and there makes a reverberation
that is terrifying and mysterious. But
would this aocoont for the sbooks and
convulsions that people on the mountain
my they have so often felt t Would it
••count for the noises that Brother Christy
says were heard them many years ago 1 ■
PosnusTiB Bean commences his now
official duties with a sharpness and seal
that may carry him beyond the bounds of
propriety—perhaps has already done so.
A few deys ago, as we lesrn from the
Berald, he sent word to Dr. Wilson, of
the Atlanta Surgical Institute, that he had
• letter in the office for him, but that he
must open it in his presence and inform
him as to the contents, or must at least
give him the name of the writer. He
said that he made this requirement be
cause the letter was enclosed in an official
envelope, and he wanted to see whether
soma Postmaster had not been practicing
a fraud by thus franking a letter on other
than official business. Dr. Wilson refused
to comply with either of these demands,
and Bard refused to give him the letter,
but forwarded it to Washington.
Tbsbi is a notable disagreement be
tween the editorials of the New York
Beraid and the dispatches of its Washing
ton reporter, in their views of the effeot
of the Currency bill that has passed Con
gress. The Herald of the 15th oontiuuee
its attaeke on the bill, oalls on the Fraei-
dent to veto it, and says that at one
stroke (we thought It was two) it adds one
hundred millions to the curreocy. On
the other haud, its Washington dispatoh
ia the same issue says thaj “the bill, if it
becomes a law, will be in its practical
effects i for more rapid and sweeping
measure of contraction than has ever
been proposed by even the most ardent
tasumptioniat,''
Our own opinion is that the praotieal
efleot of the bUl is a problem that will be

Kranee.—Marshal Baxaine was born
near Paris, February 18, IBM. He was
edneated in tbe best military schools, and
graduated in 1881. He served in Africa
end Algiers, and commanded tbe French

paign against that country nnder Maxi
milian. Ho commanded the French forces
at Met* in the campaign ngainHt Prussia,
bat was fqroed to surrender. Ha wns sub
sequently tried and condemned to exilo.
We consider Marshal Bsaalne a braue sol
dier, a stanneb patriot, and a gallant war
rior, aud the verdict against him as cow
ardly aa it was unjust and inhuman.
Mary.—Yon Nay your parents object to
yonr meeting or associating with a young
man you pretend to love, and that your
lovs for him is stronger than your regard
for yonr parents. It this is tho ease, you
should not ssk us for advice. You are
bound to go to the devil if yon persist in

The above is the answer to the follow

"l.ittle Rock, April 18.—Attorney Gon
oral Williams, Washington'.—Ia your dis
patoh to Governor Brooks, I infer that
you intend to be understood as saying
that the President cannot reoognize him
as Governor until hiH right bos fully and
finally been recognized by the Court. I
understand from yotir dispatch to Gov
ernor Baxter that the President nyd
Court recognize him until his right
ha9 been settled by tho Sapreme Court.
The Supreme Court will not be in session
uutil Jane. Now, what are we to do in
tho meantime ? Governor Baxter has is
sued his proclamation putting tbe oity un
der martial law, and armed men, pretend
ing to aot under his orders, are patrol,
ing the streets, stopping peaceable and
uuarmed oitizeus and setting the author,
ity of the oity offloeis at defiance, and ar
resting tho polioe. Not only this, but
private properly is being forcibly seized
and appropriated in a like mauner.
“Tbe construction placed on yonr dis
patoh by Governor Baxter ia that it ia a
lioeuso to make an attack on the Brooks
faotion, with sn assurance that in so do
ing the Federal Government will not in
terfere. Yen will readily see that the
oity is to become a scene of bloodshed,
and uvor a strife its authorities are not
responsible for, and whioh they have not
the power to settle; and placed where
an appeal to either one of the persons
claiming to he Governor, says the eity
authorities are liable to the charge of
being the partisans of the one appealed
to. I desire to ask If the Federal Gov
ernment ie powerless to protect the lives
and property of twenty thousand inhabit
ants, who are situated aa we are ? It you
will instruct the officers in oommand of
tbe arienaf to aid the oity police in mak
ing the arrest of the men who are openly
violatiug tho law and setting the same at
defiance, I oould preserve tbe peaoe of
the oity without being oompelled to take
aides with oitber of the contending fac
tions.
This question of who is the rightful
Governor can only be settled by the
oonrts, a thing that may not be dona for
the next twelve months, and I now im
plore yon ia the name of peaea to aid me
in all yonr power until the question is
settled.

The levee is dry again opposite Jackson

era strengthened end oat of danger, sIbo
those in rear, nineteen miles in length.
At 6 o'clock Wednesday evening the river

Lake Manrepas ia four miles, with n fall

not endanger the oity. The Bellechasse
crevasse, on the lower ooaat, is also about

A large portion of Western Loui-iana is

notice to tbe different parishes, acknowl

flood. The amount of damage already
done is too vast to be estimated, end tbe
end is not yet .—Mobile Ilegieter, 17tA.

natural adornments were heightened into the
“ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in
the eight of Gob of great price.” Although tested
by six days of intense suffering, she seemed to
realize that the trials of her faith worked patience.
She tnu nnii red nut, but meekly submitted to the
will of “Him who do’th all things well” Ho
doubt the careful uae of those means of grace
brought out what wmt tho particular feature of
her | iety—au unwavering trust in the special
providence of God. Luriug the last of her »uff*r-
ingn, the ngony o r body was so iutense as to be
cloud tho mind, and her devoted parents and loved
ones were not permitted tbs sad happiness of
“dying words.” They were not needed, for w* all
feel that hor Christian lift is tlia best testimony
that she “sleep* in Je.su*, ' and will bo called forth
when lie cornu* to mako up Ilia j> weln. Aud an
wc cull to mind her many virtues,
“Her memory, Uke eomo holy light,
Kept alive in our hearts, will improve them;
For worth shall lock fairer and truth more bright,
When we think how she lived to love them.”
That beautiful staff is spoiled of its grace and
bloom, but in tho light of the eternal promise, we
anticipate seo ng it again, clothed with celestial
gruco and blossoming with undying life and bless-
ednoB* in tho Paradise of God.
“So fades the summer clouds away,
fo sinks the gale when storms are o’er,
So gently shuts the eye of day,
Bo dies tbe wave upon the shore.”
Columbus, Oft., April 18,1874.
