A Gorgeous Cloud Picture.
The following beautiful word panting
from the Richmond State. The
scene must have been a gorgeous one as
rt
described by the ediUr of oar Richmond
exchange. Did any of our citizens
witness the 8 ame beautiful phenomena
or was it alone applicable' to our sister
city on the North T
Vpsterdav even in ir about 4 o clock a
heavy and welcome rain fell, which for
the Ume considerably cooiea me atmos
phere. About 6$ o'clock there was an
ntrir tparv rainfalL Just before this
last storm the sky presented an appear
ance at times startling in the grandeur
of its beauty, and then grotesque as tne
revolTing clouds assumed new shapes,
some of them in the rapidity or their
transformation appearing almost human
in expression. No arctic auroras erer
glowed more - brightly and with more
golden light than did the sky at this
time, its luminosity being so rich and
vivid S3 to light the streets with a ruddy
glow, imaging at times the shadows of
persons who moved through what ap
peared to be the streets of a golden city
resting under a canopy ot sheeted brass,
the saffron and vermillion fancies which
curtained the horizon changing form and
flashing from place to place under the
grand dome. It was one of those be
wildering electric phenomona which can
not bedescribed. It brought out the
whole city.

i Bit of Fowl Doings.
Jl short time ago Samuel Ancrum,
colored, who hails from Charleston, got
in arrears for his board and left the wo
man, Betsey Nixon, whom he was board
ing with, in the lurch. She balanced
her books and charged the absconder's
board to profit and loss. On Thursday
night Ancrum thought he would like to
open another account with her, akd rob
bed her of seven large fat hens and a
rooster. Ancrum offered the fowls for
sale, representing that he was from the
country, that he had rasied the chickens
and as he was anxious to sell out and go
home, he would take a nominal price for
them. He found a purchaser in one
Mosely who thought he had "struck
ile," and who held the chickens until
Saturday for a big market and high
a -a a a it '
price. uid Aunt ueisy mougn
was on the war path for
those chickens, and when she ran up
with them she gave a yell which would
shake a Comanche Indian out of his boots,
and immediately commenced to caress
her lost darlings ot the feathery tribe.
It is useless to say Mosely did'nt sell
those chickeas, but he very soon found
the thief, who was arrested and carried
before J. C. Hill, J. T. The prisoner
first said in court that he had bought the
chickens, but afterwards acknowledge he
stole them. He had a valise in which
were some clothes, a shirt among the
number, which was identified by the own
er and which the thief ackowledged he
stole also. By the Ume the trial was over
the old woman was at boiling heat, and
Ancrum felt very positive of what she
would do, if she could but only get hold
of him, and paid but little attention to
the wrath to coxae. He was coamitted
to jail in default of bond.

To Prevent sonilroko.
Dr. Edward O. Mann, of New York'
gives the following hints: tor the preven
tion of sunstroke : To avoid sunstroke,
exercise in hot weather should be very
moderate, the clothing should be thin
and loose, and abundance of cold water
should be drank. Workmen and soldiers
should understand that as soon as they
cease to perspire while working or
marching in the hot sun, they are in dan.
gerof sunstroke, and they should im
mediately drink water freely and copi
ously, to afford matter for cutaneous
transpiration, and also keep the skin and
clothing wet with water. Impending
sunstroke may often be warded off by
these simple measures. Beside the cessa
tion of perspiration, the pupils of the
eyes are apt to be contracted, and there
is a great frequency of micturition. If
there is marked exhaustion with
a weak pulse, resulting from the
cold water application, we should
administer . stimulants. The free use of
water, however, both externally and in
ternally, by those exposed to the direct
ays of the sun, is the best prophylactic
against sunstroke, and laborers or sol
diers, and others who adopt this measure,
washing their hands and faces, as well a8
drinking copiously of water every time
tjieycome within reach of it, will gen
erally enjoy perfect immunity from sun
stroke. Straw hats should be worn, ven
tilated at the top, and the crown of the
hat filled with green leaves or wet sponge.
It is better to wear thin flannel shirts, in
order not to chook perspiration. , We
may expose ourselves for a long time in
the hot sun, and work or sleep in a heated
room, and enjoy perfect immunity from
sunstroke if we keep our skin and cloth
ing wet with water.
The shipments foreign to-day amount
to 944 casks spirits and 1,700 barrels

barque Hermann Behrent tot Bristol,
