Saturday Morning, September ?3.1871. THAT TIDAL WAVD.-A number of well known citizens of New Orleans have addressed a letter to Prof. 0. G. For-, ehey, of that city, asking bis views as to the morita of the prediction imputed to Prof. Agassis, that on the 5th or 6th of Ootober the Atl?ntio and Gulf coast would be inundated by a great tidal wave. This favor is asked of Prof. Forshey in view of the extended apprehension pre? vailing among the people, caused by the prediction, and with the hope of allaying the anxiety. ' Prof. Forshey replies, saying: Without the pleasure of a personal acquaint ano o with- the great Swiss natu? ralist, I will volunteer his d?fonce against any obargc'of agency in this most mon? strous and oruel hoax. * :?:.*?. :.. il*. ' . * * * Science has thus far furnished man no keys to the far future beyond thc regular operations,of known laws. The alterna? tion of day and night; the phases of tho moon; .the regular' return of the tides; the seasons of tho year and of the plan? ets to their poaitioue, at well.ascertained permdsfTrlongTsi^ncerfully explained-ore reliod^n pon ?sV, cur intuitions,- o ur; ?tapie of knowledge. ??yi..accidents relating to any of these are beyond human kon; and the*child has 'as muah authority.as Hersobel, Arago or Lo verrier, in predict? ing them. No "conjunction of tho planets," of combination of causes, known to soienee, can give th? remotest, gaoea when an earthquake will ocour, or a voloano dis? charge its lava, atany plaoe on the globe; and nothing-short ot a ?considerable up? heaval beneath tb? sea, or disturbance Or its bed, eau produce auy eu ob wave as is fancied in this' absurd prediction; or in any way create- a ? greater rise- or fall of water than may be due to storm winds or lunar tides of tho ordinary kind. Spring tides are known as the high and low tides, occurring about the change and full of - the moon. At' these times the earth, moon and sun are nearly in a right line, and heneo the tides, by com? bined attraction of sun and moon on the earth, increase the common tides by some inches, or even some feet, at special localities. These are all well known und accounted for; and may be predicted by Hark Twain or his humblest almanac reader. No other heavenly bodies aro euffloiently near to the earth .to affect sensibly the tides of tho ocean, so that no "COD j unction of the j da ne ta," what? ever their positions, oan appreciably in? fluence the earth tides. The changes that aro taking place by tho operations of geological causes are generally so slow as scarcely to be appreciated within any historic period. These, ; however, are sometimes attended by groat and sudden movements, called earthquakes and vol? canoes. But they occur as above stated, at such long and irregular intervals that no sane man has ever ventured to pre diot them. And nd better test of fitness for a mad house oould be given, by either a philosopher or a pretender, than the utterance of any such prophecy. The kangaroo flop is thus explained by a lady correspondent of the Missouri Democrat, writing from Saratoga: Those who have studied and practiced so indefatigably the ort of what Saxe terms the "kangaroo'flop," aro flopping vigorously, with the new accomplish? ment; others, ,not a few at first, made ri? diculous failures, and caused many a sarcastic smile from the fortunate ones who oamo prepared with the new sensa? tion. Now, however, nearly all have suooeoded in'getting the position and the motion tb a scientific exactness. But,'for the benefit of some of the St. Louis ladies, I will explain the nature of the "kangaroo flop." The dignity of the gentlemen of our noble oity cautions mo not to try to inveigle them into the mysteries of tho flop. . Therefore, gen? tlemen, thin is not for youl You are permitted to retire until I have given a lesson to the few ladies who I know are dying to know how to "do" the flop. First, you most draw your shoulders up in your neck,-lean back as far as you leaned forward when you did the Gre? cian bend, pin your elbows close to your sides, draw up the lower part of your arms in a line with your chin ; now let your hands hang gracefully (you need a fan or mouchoir in one hand) and lean your head over one side (it must be a stiff lean) as yon would do if you had a boil on one side of yonr neck. After you have succeeded in getting into this position, affect a silly expression, if you are.not fortunate enough to have it na? turally, and walk with a swagger-quite a positive swag, as if your hips were hung on hinges. As this art requires much patience, I would advise you not to try it on in the streets, or in a public dining room, right away. Some of the ladies here do it beautifully, and it is surprising what a talent many of the gentlemen have for affecting the flop. Unless you have pretty hands, with each of the right fingers covered with dia? monds, don't try tho flop. THE ITALIANS TO COMMEMORATE CO? LUMBUS.-At a meeting on the 14th inat., tho Italian Society of New York decided to render the 12th of Ootober, it being the anniversary of the discovery of America by O ol u mb us, a national com? memorative festival. On that day, this year, the Italians propose to have a pro? cession arranged with great taste and splendor, which wili mo ve through the onief streets of that oity. The festivities will wind up with a pio-nio. We are apt-to imagine that- Vienna is not well up in tho matter of modern improvements; , but .wo read that 124 journals are now published there. - BflAURfiOAKD IN Om?A?o.-Tlie sereni? ty bf Chicago bas .beau sligblly disturbed by the arrival. there pl: General Beaure? gard. He is registered .et; the Palmer House, and quite .a number, of Chicago gentlejaeh, have qallod. on .bim to. pay their, respeots. From, a report .in .the Times wo learn that the General : ia ap-. parently 65 years of age;- that bo is a little below the medium at .ituro and ?optnf paotly*formed; that his eyes and com? plexion aro dark;' that his bair, is - gray, and strong; that his ; mustache ?B small anbl quito grey; that his.-motions are prompt aadk decisive, and his whole ex pression that of a man of. action and perseverance; that he wears a modest gray suit and ' a light-colored, low orowned hat. What is more to the point, we are told that "the General conversed quite freoly upon the material prospects of the South, but eschewed politics, remarking that those gentlemen who had taken prominent parts iu the rtbellion could not be too careful about dabbling in politics, for many of them could but imperfectly represent the sentiments of the Southern people. The South had great material resources, and her pro? gress in tho future would be rapid and pormanont." This ' will be interesting reading for tho political admirers of Mr. Stephens and Mr. Toomba. Coming from tho lips of a Confederate soldier, it is interesting reading for everybody. . In answer to tho interrogations con? cerning tho supposed havoo made by Major Anderson's guns during the at? tack on Fort Sumter, the. General says that not a man was killed during tho en? gagement, and that 'the/only casualties Were the wounding of three or four men by sand-bags, which were knocked from tho parapets by Major Anderson's colum? bi ads. The only rifled cannon used in the fight was one AV h ich had. been- pre? sented \o the State of South Carolina by a gentleman from Charleston, then in England. - .It arrived in a vessel soverul .days before the bombardment com? menced, and was taken. on shore in a small boat, lt was a ten-poander, and was the first rifled cannon ever used in this country. The queer-shaped missiles created a sensation as they went whis? tling over and around Fort Sumter, and one of them, which entered a port-hole, was the subject of much study by the Federal .officers. As to Ku Kiuxism, Gen. Beauregard expressed the hope that with the lapse of time tho bugbear would disappear.-Courier-Journal. CAIU>INAII BONATABTE.-Every once in a while the world is reminded that there is such a person as Cardinal Bonaparte. He is a second cousin of Napoleon III., being the grand-son of Lucien Bona? parte, Prince of Canino, and received the red hat and laco apron some years ago at the Emperor's instance. Cardinal Bonaparte is a prelate of whom his church need not be ashamed; he is mo? dest and unassuming, a quiet but per? sistent worker in the cause which ho has at heart, and althongh a recognized can? didate for tho Papal tiara, he bears him? self with unassuming dignity, taking lit? tle part in the more stirring events of the time. It is well known that while Napoleon still wore his orown, it waB his hope that Cardinal Bonaparte would be enthroned some day in the chair of St. Peter; bat the downfall of tho family will probably consign his oandidaoy to the shelf of the disappointed. The Car? dinal's character bears no small resem? blance to the stern integrity and posi? tiveness of his grand-sire, who preferred obscurity and almost penury to becom? ing the slave of tho First Napoleon's will; and whether he becomes Pope or not, he will have, perhaps, tho purest record achieved by any cf his much fa? mous family on the pages of history. Still, bo is yet young, and may rise to that high dignity, which imperial influ? ence cannot secure for him, by his own pnj^oQrinl virtUSS. LonmiiAnD & Co.-We suppose that most of our readers have heard of this celebrated tobacoo and snuff house of Now York city. They have never had an advertisement in our columns, but we propose to give thom one without ch argo. An Atlanta tobacoo merchant called at the house a abort while since to make some heavy purchases. Before baying, however, he told one of the firm that he had been solicited by the Leo Monument Association to establish agencies in that oity for the salo of tba pictures of Gen. Lee, and asked this business man if ho would not subscribe for one. He re? ceived a moat abrupt and insulting an? swer, after this wise: "Sir, I would not permit tho picture of such a traitor and rebel to come into my house, if I knew it, much less encourage the building of a monument to his memory by paying my money for it. I think it an insult for you to ask me to do such a thing." On being asked by the Atlantian if ho did not care for the Southern trade, ho replied "that ho would not give a oent for it" We trust our friends and Southern dealers, generally, will not hereafter trouble these gentlemen with what they do not "caro a oent for." Remember the house: Lori I! ard & Co., New York city.-Macon Telegraph. No DIOTBBENOB.-A man was once traveling through the State of Illinois, and coming to a ferry and being ont ol money, the following colloquy took I>1 ace between him and the ferryman: Ferryman-I Bay, mister, have you got any money? Traveler-No, sir. Fer? ryman-Have you got any home? Tra? veler-No, sit. Ferryman-Canyon bor? row any money? Traveler-No. Ferry? man-Do you expect to get any on tho other aide? Traveler-No, sir. Ferry? man-Well, then, you had better stay where you are, for it makes d-d little difference whioh side you are on. In the course of an Illinois discussion, a man is said to have "had a ravine built iu the back of his head with a pop-bot? tle." : The N?w York Tribune rather ungal? lantly: descants; of Theodore Tilton's Life of Mrs. Victoria Woodhull. It says: "If apples are wormy this, year, and grapes mildew, and duck's eggs, addle, and bladed corn bo lodged, it,may ali be ascribed'to tho- unhallowed influenae of Mr. Til to n's Life of Mrs. Victoria Wood? hull.. Its richness pf invention, Usn ai vo ignorance, and its innocent immorality, eauqp us 'to-wondor whether the veteran romancer, Paul do Cook, who died last week, did. not amuse, his. first leisure hours in the spirit world by dictating this preposterous book of tho editor of the Golden Age."
