ORGANIZATION IN LOUISIANA TO PREVENT THE INTERMARRIAGE OF WHITES AND BLACKS, A practical movement, says a dispatch trom New Orleans, bas been inaugurated in Bossier | parish, Louisiana, for the abolition of miscege- ation.

B.A. Proctor, in Harper's Magazine. markable Family. ‘From the New York World. Mementoes of the Dead. Last Sunday wasasaddayin the Garfield The visible globe Of the sun is 1,250,000 times | “Oh, you know there are only three kinds of | home. It was the fifth anniversary of the as large as the earth. Within the surface 80 seen there lies a mass exceeding the earth's 320,000 times. The materials present in the sun's giobe are the same as those which form the globe of our earth—at least, we know that tron, copper, zine, sodium, magnesium, calcium, titanium and @ number of other metallic ele- ments are present; hydrogen is certainly there in enormous quantities, and Dr. Henry Draper proved also that oxygen is present, while n0 astronomer doubts that those other elements which have not as yet been detected in the sun are really present in bis mass, Now, have we any evidence as to the way in which’ the mighty mass of the sun is disposed within that surface which encloses wliat we term his volume?—though in reality one can hardly say what bis volume is, seeing that there are portions of his mass outside the sur face which Lounds his visible globe. Is the sun's mass uniformly distributed throughout the visible globe, 1,560,000 times as large as our earth? or is it concentrated toward the cen- ter? or, on the otier hand, is the denser part near the surface, so that the sun is what Profes- sor Young once’ suggested, a gigantic bubble? There are three lines on which we can seek for an answer to these questions. First, we find that the visible surface of the suo bébaves in a manner utterly inconsistent alike with the idea that this surface ix near the real suriace of an inferior globe, and with the idea that the visible suriace fs part of a mighty vesicle Of bubble. The spot zones are carried around at different rates, according to their distance from the equatoris! solat regions, Not to follow Faye and others in niceties of caiculation (far froin Justified by the evidence we have), I may say that the equatorial zone gains about one rotation in seven on the spot Zones, oF, roughly, some 2,700,000 miles In two hundred 'days—say 13,500 miles per day. Such @ velocity as this, close to ten miles a minute, could not possibly exist in a cioud-laden region (such as the visible suriace of the sun undoubt- edly is), and as affecting regions exceeding the Whole Surface of the earth thousunds of times, unless the cioud-laden region was very far away from the region of the sun, and therefore from the frictional effects of the’ true solar rota- tion. The real maas of the sun, however dis- tributed, can only -1otate as one; the visible cloud surtuce has many rates of rotation; there- fore, there must be an euormous distance be- tween the two. Secondly, eaiculation has been made by competent’ mathematicians respecting the amount of poiar compression which would arise from the rotation of a globe such as th sua appears to be, at the average rate of rotu- Von indicated by the solar spots. 1 is found that the polar flattening would be well wituin the measuring capacity of our best instru- ments. But if there is one thing certain about the sun, it is that (within such capacity) his apparent globe is not flatiened at all.” It is avsolutely certain, then, that the real globe of the sun lies far within’ the suriace of Howing ¢louds which we see and measure. Thirdiy, our earth has er story to tell about the sun's in:erior. We know from the earth's cgust that, for periods of time which geologists n@w estiinate by tens of millions of years, the sun’s power bas been at work on the earth's crust, by rain, wind and storm, fashioning and retushioning the structure of that crust, now forming layers, anon cutting them up, but throughout leaving clear traces of bis bandi- work. Croll ates the duration of this part of the earth’s bistory—that is, of the time during whieh the earth's crust has been torm- ing under solar actiou—at fully one hundred million Of yeurs, Jn other words, our earth tells us of at least one bundred ‘million of Years of sun work, atthe sun’s present rate of Working. It is & matter of no importance Whether we suppose tuat the sun has worked allthe time at is present rate, or has some- times worked with more energy, sometimes with less. itis the quantity of sun work, not the way in which tue work has been done, wuich alone has to be considered. Now, ali physicists and ustronomers are agreed In regard- ing the sun's emission of heat as due wholly, or almdst wholly, to solar gravitation, resuit- ing im the steady contraction of the sun's mass. To get from the sun of past uges the amount of work which our earth tells be has uctuaily done, we must suppose him once to have been very much larger than he is now— how much larger we cannot say. I take it, also, that the change which takes place in the’ aspect of the sun's coruna as the nuinber of sun spots varies, and_ the alteration of the physical condition of the corona—in such Sort that when there are many spots its spec trum indicates the presence of glowing hydro- gen, Whereas when there are few the lines of bydrogen are few or wanting—correspond, also, With the theory that the time of sun spots is a Ume of great éruptional activity. Forthe rush of ejected masses Unrough the coronal region would cause the bydrogen present there (aot as au atmosphere, but irregularly distributed and moving around the sun) to grow with greater luster, $0 as to show the lines of hydrogen in the spectrum of the corona. Itis, at any rate, remarkable that all the faets Known tousin regard to the sun spots themselves, to the colored flames, and to the corona, should agree in confirming that which is already all but demoustrated by three strong lines of evidence; that is, the reat working mass of the sun is very much smaller than tne glove We measure as his, and that ai the phenoinena which gives so great an interest to the study of the sun are due to tremendous forces at work tens of thousands of miles below the suriace which limits our view ot uls globe, and hides irom us the processes by which the lite of the solar system is maintatued. ——+o0——___ Bul Tricycle. AN ADVENTURE IN CARRYING THE UNITED STATES MAIL IN NEVADA. From the Fureka Sentinel. A Sentinel reporter learned yesterday that quite a mishap occurred to Mrs. McLane’s mail tricycle and contents while making its last trip to town over the E. and P. road from Pulisude a couple or three days ago. The tricycle had aboard quite a heavy load of mail, and three men were employed in propelling it. When the outlit arrived near the summit a large herd of eatue, a number of whicu were on the track, was encountered. Tue tricyele men siackened Speed so as to pass through the herd without doing any damuge, One iramense bull would not leave the truck, and the men ran the vebi- cle upto bim and sieved iin along. This mud- dened the bovine, and with bis tail in the air, he turned suddealy around and attacked thé tricycle. In doiug so his ho:ns became locked in @ wheel of the vehicle, and he bellowed und became more furious than ever. The men and mail were thrown frou the tricycle, and it tas) dragged from the track a distauce of over feet betore the horns of the bull were unlocked. ‘Une of the men was severely cut about the face and head by the lever of the tricycle airiking bim as it leit the track. ‘The msbap caused the entire herd of cattle to stampede, and the in- jured man says that for several moments an immense cloud of dust arose and darkened the air on allsides. Judging from the manner in Which he served the details of the story with adjectives as he relaied it to this scribe, alter the cloud of dust passed away, the atmosphere Was an azure blue with blasphemous senu- ments until the tricycle was dragged back wo the track and all necessary repairs made and the mail bags gathered iroin ainong the sage- bush and greasewood and they had resumed their trip Eurekawari ————— A Jot for Woebegone Dyspepties.

Miss Folger is what is called a character, and would under Kingsley’s pen furnish the’ por- trait of another Caristie Johnson. The mainte mance of the family previous toMr.O’Conor's ac- quaintance with Miss Folger came from a little garden patch which the daughter assisted ber father in caring for. Asthe vegetables ripened she delivered them at the doors ot her various customers.

In later years she gave lectures at various institutions, among which was Dr. Dio Lewis’ school at Lexington, Masa., and died some six years ago at the ageof eighty.

His wife, Eliza Tyler, bad been a dear triend of young Harriet Beecher and, at the age of twenty-five, she married Proi. Stowe, who was nine years her sentor. At Cincinnati were born all but one of their six children, a pair of girl-twins conilng first. These were named Eliza Tyler and Harriet Beecher for the two wives of the happy tuther. Mrs. Stowe has remarked that first’ children are poems and that thosewho come after are apt to be prose. This coupiet of girls were cer- tainly perfect rnymes and to this day are very like.

There are probably sixty Tooms in bothold and new houses. They are all furnished in modern style and with con- siderable elegance, and there is an alr of aristocracy about the interior which Garfield in his lite did not know in his own home, Although the house is far in the country it has all the conveniences of a clty home, in plumb- ing, gas-filting und steam-heating. A natural gus’ well bas been bored ou the farm and the yard is wept lighted day and night. Tne main entrance is through the old house.
