Our citizens will remember bow the ihowers came night before l:u>t, in l'rcqcunt succession, .pouringt torrents while they astcd, but stopping after a pour. Well, here were, at S o'clock on that evening, seven men at the point in Sycamore and \bigall streets to which is completed the jrcat sewer' which is really an up-tuwn exensionofthe big Kgglcston Avenue sewer. L'heir business is to clean the open,cnd of hat sewer, so as to prevent delay to workncn engaged in construct i ig it up Sycanore street. It had occurred to them that >y stirring the sediment at. the bottom of li?? miooi. ?li/. uvi),.r from (lio showers ruuld wash it away, and their work would n this way be greatly expedited. Al'tcr a ong cessation in the rain, they went into I# sewer some distance and continued heir work. While so engaged, one of those icavy, sudden showers which charactorizd the evening cauie up, and poured down ts tremendous streams. The first warning hey had of their peril was a sudden rusli of raters upon them, carrying the whole party fl' their feet. The four men nearest the noutli of the sower escaped with difficulty, tattling up stream agaiust a powerful urrent; the other three were carried down owards the river by the galloping tide of efiled waters. Two of them caught at a tan-hold near the canal, and succeeded in unking themselves heard by theer four ortunato conipauions who had escaped. Ticy were drawn up to the solid ground by licse. But John Clark, one ofthoir compalions, was not so fortunate, lie continued o travel down to Court street, where he riade a short turn and thence proceeded bcnrc the -flood, every moment increasing 1 . 1 . lie waters to the avenue sewer, wncre ue nadc a turn to the right, whcnco it was a Lraight road to the river. Mr. Clark tells lie story himself. lie says lie proceeded own in the darkness, his back to the press f waters and his face to their current. As c could not stand up, he put himself as early as possible in a sifting position, and rent down the stream very much as a boy lidos down hill on a sled, only Mr. Clark ad no sled. Coming to the mouth of the swer, where its waters discharge into the )hio River, he cried for htlp. !Mr. Lewis, 'ho lives in a tenement wharf-boat at that oint, and who hires row-boats to parties, card his cries, came to his relief, and aved him. Mr. Clark, last night, cxibited a badly torn pair of pants, and a retty roughly bruised body. Model Lover.?The model lover of the eriod lives in Danbnry, Connecticut. The iarenlsof his sweetheart are opposed to the natch, but it doscn't make him proud. Sometimes the old gentleman reaches him nth his boot before lie can get over the encc, but the young man doesn't lay up ill eelingson account of that; lie only smiles t the dcspoilcr of' liis pantaloons when lie ueets him, and calls it "heaping coals of ire on his head." The other evening he bought he would got up a surprise for the Id chap. lie put a paving stone in each f his coat-tail pockets, and started for the ence as usual. The old gentleman let out or him with increased enthusiasm, and aught him?caught him good. Then lie ay down on the grass and said, "J die by lie hand of an Assassin." lint the young nan passed on without a word, and suiiled lie most heavenly smile of forgiveness ever ecu on that street. Grant Driving a Load of Hides.? )uring the year 1S5S there appeared in the illagc of Poto'si, a man seated upon a load f green hides. lie had a mule team, and lopped to iiujuirc the way to Galena. In 'otosi at that time, lived one Pat. Dgrsey a tan who loved excitement, and was sure o get up a horse race if possible. On that ay, in 185S, Horsey had made a race, and lu> mnn with the hides saw tha crowd ;athcring, and asked the cause. lie was old tlicy were going to have a horse race, nstead of going to Galena he turned his null's about and drove to the race course. In 1871 the Congress of the United States rcre in scsseion, fighting over the San )oiningo and Ku Klux affairs. A man sat n the Presidential chair who wanted Congress to adjourn, so that lie could repair to jong Island to see the opening of the Spring races. The man who wanted to go ; o Long Island theii, and the man who j wanted to see the quarter race in 1'otosi in 1858 , are one and the same man?Ulysses 5. Grant. Is it to be wondered at that a man who vould neglect his employer's business when iut gathering up hides for the tannery, vould hesitate to squander the people's inie when elevated to a higher position ? ")ld habits grow and become chronic, and j rant's interest in horse racing is greater iow tliau it was in 1858. A IIf.autiful Skntimknt.?The following beautiful sontiment was recently uttered >y Judge.L. T. Snoad: "The idea that a judicial officer issupposod ? he vested with ermine, tlumgli fabulous ind mythical, is yet tnorc eloquent in its full lignificance. * We are told that the little ;rcu(ure called ermine is so acutely sensitive :o its own cleanliness that it becomes paralyzed and powerless at the slightest touch of Icfilcment upon its snow white fur. When he hunters are pursuing it they spread with jure the pass leading to its haunts, towards vhich they then draw if, knowing that it ,vill submit to he captured rather than defile tself. And a like sensibility should belong o him who comes to exercise the august unctions of judge." Senator Trumbull stated in a speech at Indianapolis, that theue was money enough quandered by office-holdors under the Fcd;ral Government every year, to buy a house ind farm a;i(J give SI,000 to every man in ?tatfl of Indiana?and there are 400,000 nen in the State.. , t SuMNEIt..VID THE CoLOllKD MAX.?TllC National ltepublican of this morning having stated that no colored man in this city will accept Senator Sumner's advice or approve his course, a number of leading colored men have addressed the following letter to the editor of that paper: Washington August 1.?-Wo, the undersigned, having road the/olio.vingin your issue this morning, namely: "Wc have not yet seen or heard -of one colored man in this city who will accept his (Mr. S manor's) advice or approve his course, and we hereby throw our columns open to all who desire to announce that they will be guided by his advice, or wish others to be guided by it." meaning the Honorable CharLs Suiuncr, we therefore are willing not only to announce, ' but to afiinn our readiness to accept his 1 advice and follow his teachings. Knowing j as well as wc do what'lie has done for us a > people, long before the editor of the Re- * publican bud made up his mind to become 1 one of the number of our now many friends, s We therefor declare .his motto to be ours: f "Unity of the Republic.

They arc well known hero not only as men of <j intelligence, but mcli of property. 1 The Detroit Free Press, in a sensible article on the antagonizing of the races, says \ that the Radicals are nfaking great efforts t in thaSouthern States, through their office v holders, their press and their leagues, to * convince the negroes that the Democratic v party is the white man's party, and thai the , Republican party is. the one for the blacks, j The blacks have become so imbued with this ] idea tluit through the whole South they arc j a unit for Grant. In allying themselves to t a'ny political party the negroes make a great j mistake. Their interests arc identical with T those of their old masters. We would not x have them slavishly follow the' dictates of , any because they once obeyed their simplest ] nod, nor at the same time to blindly livo up . to do and do as they are bidden by leaders ( who use them for their own aggrandize- ] nicnt. The blacks should look at tho epics- ] t-ion of parties just as other men do, and attach themselves to 0110 or the other, just a? , they find this one or that one in accord with 1 their sentiments on living issues of the day .nod ] not from supposed motives of gratitude vote , for any one set of candidates. The blacks , are in the numerical superiority in hut two ' States in the South. In less than another ( decade there will be a minority even in ( these. Hy arraying themselves a unit 011 , one side or (lie other, they force (he whites, , as a matter of self-protection, to the other.. ( This antagonism of the races which the Ha- ( dicals arc ciulcavoving to secure will work to ( the injury of the black; but what do the ( Radicals care for this? They have no re- j gard for the negro any further than he can j be made to suit their purposes. . . j W11 at c(?N sttt ut KB A If A ritual DRUNK- ; Attn?Tuk Dixkaxk ok Ixkrhi kty.?The i select committee of the 1'lnglisli House of Commons appointed to inquire into the best f plan for the control and management of ha- t bitual drunkards, have made a report, from ( which it appears' that they have examined constables, magistrates, coroners, inspectors ( of insane asylums, managers of reformatories, physicians and surgeons, from different sections of Great Britain and Dr. Raffish, of N. York city, with his colleague, Dr. Dudgc, of : Binghamton, New York, and have presented i i~ il./v If..,...,-. ,f 1.1m vnuiilf of limit- / careful and deliberate inquiry. c A lew points of their report will bo*no- i liccd, as follows: 1 " An entire concurrence of all the wit- t nesses in the total and absolute inadequacy r of the existing laws to check drunkenness." ' That small lines and short imprisonment 1 are useless." t " That occasional drunkenness frequently a passes into the condition of a diseaseaineon- i trullablc by tbe individual." l "Thatself-control is suspended or annihi- s latcd'." i " That this is confined to no class, coudi- c tion, nor sex, npr hardly to any age." i " That tlu> moderate use of alcoholic li- i quors is unattended by any had effects, while l there is much to prove that excess in ardent 1 spirits is far more deleterious than similar i excess in wine and beer." . I " That it is in evidence that there is a?ve- t ry large amount of drunkenness among* all classes and both sexes, which never becomes public, or is dealt with by the authorities, 1 but which is probably .even a more fertile \ source of misery, poverty and degradation 1 than that which conies before the public c courts." ( "That there is a difference 'between tho ( paroxysm of intoxication and insanity pro- 1 per, so distinct as to forbid the plea in bar r of punishment that an offence was committed 1 While drunk ; still placing the inebriates in 1 lunatic asylums is improper and should not I he allowed." c " That when acts of violence or other of- i fences arc superadded to .the drunkenness, i tho ordinary punishment awarded by law to those offences should he carried out, and committal, to a reformatory,' may form pari of a sentence, or it may be left to (he discretion of the magistrate to send him atonce to an inebriate reformatory." " That sanitaria or inebriate reformatories are producing considerable good in effecting amendment and cures in those who have been treated in them." "The committee recommend that sanntaria or inebriate reformatories for those who, nothstauding the plainest conditions of health interest and duty, are givon ovor to the habjt of intemperance, so as to render tlicmun- ] able to control themselves, and incapable of j managing their own affairs, or such as to | render them in any way dangerous to them- ; I jclves or others should be provided : that these should be divided into two classes? private for those who can pay their own ivay, and public for those who cannot." There is a peculiar satisfaction in listenin;.' to the covcrsation, or in reading the wrf ;ings of positive men?of those who deal m!y in facts, and with such facts as have mt one side anrl no exceptions.

Brilliant streams of the electric fluid darted athwart the sky in every direction, and the thunder which followed was constant for a period of thirteen minutes, without the intermission of an instant of silence. One flash of lightning followed another in such rapid succession as to excite curiosity to know how many passed in a minute. With, watch in hand, I counted them for scvcu minutes. First minute, there ware 51 vivid flashes; second minute there were 42 vivid flashes; third minute, there were 30 vivid ! flashes; fourth minute, there wore 47 vivid flashes; fifth minute, there were 37 vivid flashes; sixth minute, - there wcro 61 vivid j flashes; seventh minute, there were 54 vivid f flashas; making 331 discharges of clcctrfcity . 1* i* -.1 _!.!! t _ i* in sovcn minutes, distinctly visiuie xroui one point; und each discharge.was followed by loud and sometimes rattling reports, whose rcverbrations rolled through the heavens in endless processions of majestic and. , terrific sounds.?New Uaveit Journal. The Bankrupt Law. *" From the Yorkville Enquirer. Mr. Editor: As doubts have been expressed as to the extent of the relief afford- i ed by tho,bankrupt act of 1867, and the several amendments thereto, I deom it proper 1 to submit the following statement: Th'c amendment to the act, approved 10th i Junc, 1872, allows the bankrupt all tb<i pro- , perty exempted by the laws of each State of J force iu 1871, in adpition to five hundred dollars worth of property allowed under the original act. # i This gives to each "bankrupt In this State, 1 two thousand, dollars worth of property, to- 1 wit.: Ono thousand dollars' worth of redl i cstato and one thousand dollars' worth of Dersonal estate. After the bankrupt has been discharged this property becomes hjs ' absolute estate to disposed of as ho chooses, [ either by gift, devise or otherwise. It is not necessary, as has been supposed, that the estate of the person applying stall ( pay fifty per cent of all his debts; but if 1 the estate which comes into the bauds of the ? assignee is sufficicient to pay fifty per cent, . of his individualdebts, contracted since January 1, 18G9, exclusive of the debts con- ( tracted before that time, he is discharged ' from all individual debts contracted before that time, and from all his security debts whether contracted before or after that time, Icaving-not'ning to be paid but his individu al debts contracted after Jan. 1st, I860. Wm. I. Clawson, Kcgistcr in Bankruptcy. We clip the following from the Troy (N. Y.) 117tii/: "Some three months since Dr. It. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., commenced advertising in the an article called KDr. Sago's Catarrh Remedy. We believed at that time it was one of the many catch-, "?i l . . ./? penny arrangements to swindle pcopie out 01 their money, but during the past few weeks have'become convinced to the contrary.

Tiik ;-Doo Days" and. their Danger. ?At this season of the year the blood is apt to become impure, the appetite poor, the skin sallow, the body enfeebled, the system relaxed. making it susceptible to attacks'of chills aitd fevers, rheumatism, eruptions of the skin, and the development of the injudicious use of calomel. All this trouble may be avoided by the use of a "ew bottles of Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight. It is harmless in its effects, but a powerful enemy to diseases. Try it, and you will find it a fried in need. llu? Van Winkle in Florida.?The Florida l.'nion, of the Gth instant, gives the following wonderful esse of what is called catalepsis: On Wednesday, July 31st. Mr. C. A. Powers, an old resident of St. John's County, laid himself down to enjoy a short nap, feeling somewhat. fatigued after a morning's hard labor. In a few moments he was in a sound sleep. The hours flew swiftly by and still he slumbered on, apparently in the enjoyment of a healthy, refreshing nap. Night came, and still lie slept a sleep from which no one could wake him. The family became alarmed. and a physician was sent for. Jlvery method conceivable was used to awaken him, even to the application of red lmt irons, hut i without avail. Morpheus held him in his ! cfMnif Aii?l?r:ior> mid no nunv effort of poor < "" n ; --J I J humanity could break the spell. And in this tranoc-likc state Mr. I'owersstill remains. I Nourishment, in tlie form of gruel, has been forced into his stomach by artificial j means, and in that manner life sustained. , His respiration is <juitc regular, and at , times he snores in a very audible and distinct manner. The subject of this wonder- j ful case of catalcpsis is sixty-two years of . age, and had been apparently in a state of J good preservation and health. During the | morning previous to his lying down he had , been busily engaged in" pulling fodder.
