OLD WHITE.
What His "Ten Nig-lits in a Bar Room" Did. Not many moons since, "Old White" "•was pursuing Lis vocation, with his trusty company, of "strutting and fretting his brief hour" upon the stage, for tlx- delectation of country people, whose opportunities for histrionic advancement and enjoyment are naturally a good deal circumscribed. Business had not, for some lime previous, been of a character calculated to inspire a spirit of cheerfulness even in the breast of so hopeful a nature as that of "Old White," whose propensity to deduce good from all recurring events, and whose determination that the skv shall always be cheerful and promising, will almost rival that of the lively, imperturable Mark Tapley. "White had come upon a small Western town, where a blacksmith shop, a
.vfave
factory, a store where they kept dry goods, groceries, hardware, cutlery, salt, hats, shoes and sole-leather, together with a tin shop, which supported a traveling tinker, delermined him to pilch hia tent, and try the histriouic taste of the population. He brought his eye to bear on the broad side of the "village smithy," and concluded it would be a good place for the display of his posters. 80, walking up to the door, lie addressed the burly smith (whose back was toward him, and who hammering away for dear life upon a glowing red-hot horse-shoe,) with theremark, in his blandest tone "Will you permit me, sir, to put up a few bills on the side of your shop "NO answered the smith, in a loud, gruff voice, without looking around. "But, sir," said WThite, putting on just a little more of his peculiar nasal twang, "I am willing to pay you." "Pay the "But at that momeut, something seemed to have awakened Nome dormant remembrance in the breast of the burley smith. He slowly turned round, and brought his optics into focus with White's face. "I say, stranger," said he, "ain't your name White "Thai's my name," answered White. "Ain't you one of these show actors?" "I am an actor," replied White, "though sometimes there doesn't seem to be much xhow for me." "I say, mister, didn't you act 011 the stage iu Indianapolis on"—naming the time. "J did," said While. "Why do you NSK "See here, then," said the half-blub bering Smith, "this is my shop, and that's my house, and you can cover the whole concern from top to bottom with your bill- and my farm too for that matter and, if it will do you any good, I'll cover myself all over with them, and 'ravel round like that old darkey who travels round
a walking sign, that I
saw when I was in Chicago last month, buying some supplies." White was utterly unable to comprehend the reason of the sudden prepossession in his favor on the part of the burly blaeksmsth, when the latter came to his relief by saying: "See here, I will tell you all about it. At the lime I spoke of, I went to Indianapolis. I had been drunk, I reckon, for the previous twenty years, and had pre'ty much ruu through every cent I had, and nearly beggared my little family. While there, somebody recommended me to go to the show. I didn't care much for such things, and didn't understand much about them, but I was ready for most anything, and fortifying myself with several drinks, I put a pint bottle of whisky in my pocket, for fear I should get dry before the show was over, and posted off to the theatre. The play was "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," and your never-to-be-forgotten phiz was on the shoulders of the man who acted out the principal part. As the show went on, I began to think, and continued to think until the end of the first act, when I got up and walked outside, got to a quiet place, smashed my bottle of whisky into'some hundred pieces and went, back to see the rest. I waited until the close, with my powers of thinking unrelaxed, and then sought the place where I had smashed the bottle, and swore I would never touch another drop and, stranyer, I never have. And all the little property you see about here, which is my own unencumbered possession, I have gained from seeing you play "Ten Nights in a ir-room." Now, you can use me or anything under heaven I have got, as long, and as strong, and as bard as you like, and if you offer any pay for it 1 shall think you mean to insult me."
White says he made mouey enough in that little village, on that night, to make up tor some very scanty and beggarly houses he had been favored with previously. Besides the reflection of having inadvertently beeu the means of accomplishing so much good, was more gratifying even to White's sordid nature, than the possession of untold gold.
IT is a small matter, but made much of by the organs of the Administration, that Mr. Greeley, iu the little friendly speeches to the New Englanders, made frequent use of the most egotistical of the pronouus. Perhaps the following deliverance of Ulysses, the wanderer, made at Portland, Maine, in the autumn of 1871, should be accepted a3 a model of modesty. Here it is: "I haVe a vivid recollection of visiting your city six years ago. This is the second time I have been in your city, and I am much pleased with the reception here as well as in other places I nave visited in your State. If I do not dftener than I have heretofore, I shall not make many more visits here before I shall be quite an old laan."—an. Commercial. "9

NEW YottK, Aug. 22.—The Democratic and Liberal Republican ratification committee has abandoned the project of erecting a wigwam for the meeting to be held on Thursday, September 12th, iu Union Square and vicinity. Irving and Tammany halls will also be used. Twelve thousand dollars worth of fireworks and other ornamentations will be used.
The wheat corner in Chicago has been the principal theme of discussion on the Produce Exchange for a few days past, and prices have been seriously disturbed. It is not believed likely, however, that the effect will be felt disastrously here.
NEW YORK, August 22—The Tribuue's Washington special says the new postal card, just adopted by the Postoffice Department, will be of light amber color, five inches by three and one-eighth iuches, weight about one and one-fourth drachms on one side a head of the Goddess of Liberty with the legend, "United States Postal Card." This side also contains directions to write the superscription on this side and communication on the other.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—A match between the English eleven and St. George club, this city, has been arranged for September 18 and 19.
The heat was not so excesssve yesterday as the previous days, and only a few cases of sunstroke are reported.
It is stated that almost every day since the removal of the Spanish iron clad, Numancia, from the lower bay to the southwest spit, one fresh case of yellow fever have arisen and quickly re moved to the hospital. The vessel bas been several times fumigated without much effect. The other five infected ships are subjected to the strictest isolation.
A dispatch to the Herald from Steu benville, Ohio, says the Mace and O'Baldwin fight, which was arranged to come off a few miles from there, yesterday, again resulted in a fizzle. The ring was pitched, and the men in the corners, but they could not decide on selecting the referee, aud the principals quitted the ring at dark, amid the sneers of the spectators. 1 he ground selected was two minutes' walk from Collier's Station, on the Pan Handle Railroad, near Harmon's Creek, West Virginia. Mace first entered the ring, followed quickly by O'Baldwin. An hour was speutin dispute concerning tiie referee. A number of names were proposed, but always rejected.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The offer of the Treasury to buy $2,000,000 of live-twen-ties. elicited tenders of over $3,000,000, at prices ranging at 13-60014-50.

NEW YORK, August 22.—The Tribune, editorially commenting on the result of the Union Republican Convention, at Utica, yesterday, says that, for the purposes of General Grant and the Custom House, General Dix is as good a man as they could have chosen, and to defeat him we must nominate a man of energy aud more principal for, while their purpose is nothing but success, ours is reform and good government.
The Herald thinks the ticket nominated at Utica yesterday as strong a one as could well be selected. Dix's nomination will be acceptable to all the people.
The Times strongly approves the action of the Convention in placing at the head of the ticket the names of Dix and Robinson, and thinks the success of the ticket is assured by this selection.
The World believes there never was a worse beaten ticket than this one will be. NEW YORK, August 22.—The Times' Washington special says the health of Douglass, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, is very much improved. He will return in a few days.
Col. Mosby, of Virginia, writes, in a private letter, that Virginia, now that North Carolina has gone Republican, can be carried for Grant in November, if a determined effort be made by the Republican partj'.
NEW YORK, August 22.—A cable telegram from Loudon this morning reports an advance in Erie common shares from 39i, the closing price last eveniug, to 43£. A later telegram reported a further advance to 43f. Subsequent dispatches announced a decliue to 42&®42f.

The Worst Storm Ever Known—Teleaph Wires Melted by the Electric Fluid.
The muttering thunder iu the distance told that it was coming, and the intensely black clouds assured all that they contained the material for a first-class shower. No oue, however, suspected such a frightful storm, or there would have been more apprehension and less desire for it. It was curious, too, to watch the changes in the clouds just previous to the descent of the rain. It seemed as if there was a whirlwind in the heavens, and the effect of the clouds tumbling and rolling about, blown hither and thither with great velocity, mingling and intermingling with one another^ was both unusual and indescribable. Presently the rain descended, the lightnings began to play and the thunders to roar. This was about two o'clock. In a very few minutes the storm was at its height and raged with a fury sufficient to appal the stoutest hearst. The atmosphere was entirely surcharged with electricity, and each flash of the fluid was almost blinding. Its effect upon the police and fire telegraph in our office was rather alarming—the current coming in upon the wires and playing about the instrument in a sort of demon's dance.

in his most irritable aud muscular days. On the occasion to which we at present refer he had ordered supper. For some unexplained cause the order wa»s not attended to as promptly as he wished, and his patience, which, as already intimated, is none of the best, was soon wholly exhausted. For awhile he confined the exhibition of his indiguation to an energetic rapping upon the table at which he sat, which made the dishes fairly dance iu concert, intermingling the tattoo with profane denunciations of waiters in general, but piling the most terrific anathemas upon the head of the
The delay still unconscionably continuing, aud his knuckles becoming sore from the bombardment of the table^ he arose from his chair in a fury, evidently with the purpose of seeking the landlord and emptying out upon him all the remaining vials of his wrath. At this very moment he encountered a person whose resemblance to the neglectful waiter was so striking as to leave him no room for doubt as to their identity. He instantly seized the supposed offender by the throat and exclaimed in a voice which resounded through the building. "Why in h—, sir, don't you bring me nay supj.«r?"
The individual thus accosted, as soon as he could recover his speech, which between surprise and the firm gripe of his assailant be had much difficulty iu doing, was finally able to answer that lie had uothiug to do with getting people's suppers. "No, I should think not," vociferated the exasperated boarder, "but you are hired to do it, you internal rascal!" [Here a series of vigorous shakes, with additional compression of the wind-pipe.] "Now, out into that kitchen—quick!— and bring me in my supper, or I will choke your scoundrelly head clean off' your shoulders, d—n you
The latter words fairly hissed into his victim's ears, who was rapidly getting into a condition to hear nothing.
By this time a number of gentlemen who were present, and had sat still between amusement and amazement, became alarmed on seeing the assailed party reaching behind him for a pistol or knife with which to defend himself, and interfered. After considerable difficulty a separation of the parties was effected at the instant an ugly-looking revolver made its appearance. It was then demonstrated .to the aggressor that the person he had attacked was a stranger, who had just arisen from his own supper when the reneonter took place.

Texas letter to the New York Tribune. MOVABLE REAL ESTATE.
The Shifting Sands of Texas—A Small Sahara, with Improvements. The surface of the land along the western shore of LagunaMalre, and for 80 or 100 miles back, is level, and not more than ten or tweive feet above low tide mark. There are some slight undulations,, but these are caused by the shifting sands. These shifting sands are one of the great features of the country. They extend for a distance of fifty or sixty miles north and south aloug the coast, and fifty or more back into the couutry. The sand is very fine, and during the prevalence of strong winds it is blown about furiously aud promiscuously. In some places it is only two or three inches deep, and here the grass grows well, even rankly, and makes a fine pasturage. Immediately underneath there is a deep, black, loamy soil, which is very rich, and which yields good crops of corn, vegetables, etc.
There are ridges and mounds, or banks, of sand scattered all over the country, of various sizes, lengths, heights and ages. The sand is driven before the wind until it meets some obstacle, wh?A the sand falls to the ground, commencing to deposit. There are ridges of sand two or three miles long, and from five to twentyfive teet high, that have apparently been undisturbed for many years. The grass is beginning to grow over them, and young live oak trees to spring up. In fact, on some ridges are trees apparently a hundred years old. The course of these ridges is east and west, at right angles to the direction of the winds and tiie coast The larger ones do not exceed in width at the base, more than two hundred feet
On each side, the rich, black soil is generally clear of sand. Iu some of these formations are imbedded large live oak trees, with only their top limbs out, -while in other places the trees have for merly been in the sand but for some cause, after remaining iu that condition for a long time, perhaps two hundred years, the^viuds have blown away the sand, ana thus left the roots that had grown out from the body of the tree naked and exposed. I noticed one tree, near the road from Brownsville to Corpus Christi, that had grown on the top of a sand ridge when the ridge, was about ten feet high.
After the tree was of soine size the ridge seems to have increased six-|eet more in altitude, aud remained so for, many years—say 100, judging from the size and appearance of the trees that have grown on it since its second elevation. Then the wind made a break through the ridge at this particular place and soon denuded the tree, trunk and roots, and it

The new formations are entirely bare of vegetation, and in a strong wind, present the appearance of drifting snow, with the difference that they are rather warmer than snowdrifts. Stock ranches have to be frequently removed on account of the sand. The horses and cattle in the corrals break the light turf and loosen the soil so that the wind takes up the sand and carries it to the fence, and it is lodged, and in a few years the sand is piled up over the fence, so that the stock walk in and out over the top of a fence ten or twelve feet high. As the fence rots, the sand is blown away until it meets another resistance, perhaps a mat of live oak trees, which, in their turn, are buried alive.
Shall We Meet Again.
The following is said to be one of the most brilliant articles written by the lamented Geo. D. Prentice
The fiat of nature is inexorable. There is no appeal for relief from the great law which dooms us to the dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flowers that bloom aud wither a day have no frailer hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men will appear and disappear as the
grass,
and the multitude that
throng the world to-day, will disappear as the footsteps on the shore. Men seldom think of the great event of death uuthe shadows fall across their own pathway, hiding from their eyes the faces of loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence. Death is the antagonist of life, and the cold thought of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not want to go through the dark valley, although its dark passages may lead to paradise we do not want to lay down in the damp grave, even with princes as bed-fellows. In the beautiful drama of Ion, the hope of Immortality, so elegantly uttered by the death-devoted Greek, finds deep response in every thoughtful soul. Wheu about to yield is young existence as a sacrifice to fate, ..is Clemantha asks if they shculd meet again, to which he replies "I have asked that dreadful question of the hills that ook eternal—of the
