8 THE SUERWAN FAMILY. A Visit Heme of General Sheridan's yaaaliy Iecriple ef the Homestead M Its UkafeltMii, Ktc A criepondent of the Cincinnati Commercial lag been viwtlnjr the home of General f herlden'a jamily, at BomcrvlUe, 1'crrv county, Ohio. The komestead is situated half a mile lrom Somerset, n the new Lexington road, and contains about twenty acres. The dwelling house, a story and a half building, wooden etructnre, and Gothic etjle of finUh, 1b situated on the edge of toe woods, and Is almost surrounded by noble forest trees Evergreens are alfco planted around it, and the place has an inviting and enjoyable ap pearance. The Louse is neatly furnished, and with taste, and altogether it looks very much like what it is-a pleasant, unpretentious home. mother V Sheridan. John L. Sheridan, Michael V Sheridan, and the daughter and Ester Mary, who, about two years since, was marred to t'aptai'n John Wilson, who s a native fTt rerrv county, but served through the war in a Michican regiment. Mary Is the only daughter, and since her marriage she and her husband live In the house with her parents. John Sheridan, father of the General, is apparently about sixty live years of ace, of sanguine temperament, a rugged, muscular, honcst-loolcing Hibernian, and not a i raid of work. Be can be seen almost any time cultivating or improving the little farm of twenty acres that is now his care and pride. John L. is a lawyer by profession, and has re cently removed to Columbus, Ohio. Michael V. has a commission in tne army, aud is on duty at New Orleans. He was present at the Mechanics' Institute, in New Orleans, at the time the mem bers of the Convention were attacked and mux acred. His shoulder-strups were all that saved him. The villaius, it seems, had a wholesome dread oi a United States uniform. Mary Sueri dau, now Mrs. Wilson, is as lively and taisative as her brother Phil Ib reticent and sedate. She has s pleasant greeting and a bright smile for every one, looks always on the bright side of life, carries sunshine with her wherever she goes, and in her merry, ringing laugh there is genuine music. She is fluent of speech, and in her conversa tion there is a minuted humor and pathos that pleases and charms. She was educated at St. Mary's Academy, and lor several years was em ployed as a teacher in the public schools of Somerset. She is proud of Phil, as she has a right to be. Patrick Sheridan, the eldest of the children, greatly beloved by the family and respected by all, died when he was about twenty-one years of age. He had been brought lip to the ory goods business, and a snort time firevious to his death had secured an interest n a firm doing business in Somerset. Mrs. Sheridan, the mother of our hero, is rather a Email woman, of dark hair and black eyes, and of a highly sensitive, nervous organization. Some persona would call her superstitious, but others would say that she was a woman who believed in the living presence of the Divine Creator, and our close relationship, in some mysterious way, to the world beyond the veil. Toe objection that she hud to Phil going to West Point was the probable necessity of his shedding human blood. West of the Rocky Mountains he got into a skirmish with tbe Indians, and he wrote home to his mother that he had actually killed a redskin in battle. This disturbed her greatly, and it was a long while belore she could become reconciled. Mrs. Sheridan is a great believer in the power of praver, and she thinks that her prayers saved Phil from many a Kebel bullet. Mo one who knows her will doubt that she prayed hard throughout our great civil war, not so much for tbe great military chieftain, perhaps, as for the safety ot her darling Phil, for men always remain boys to loving mothers, and it is hono rable to human nature that it is so. The feheridans are Catholics most of them, at any rate. Mary is a Catholic, but her hus band is a Protestant. A large majority of the Catholics about Somerset and ot the entire country, in fact opposed the war bitterly from first to last. Only a small number, compara tively, espoused tbe cause of the Union, but they did so with boldness and determination. But as Phil Sheridan rose higher and higher in the estimation of the loyal people, his relatives were subjected to many annoyances and perse cutions at the hands ot the violent anti-war Catholics. An incident here is worth relating. On one of the General's visits home a large social party was made, to which he was invited and went. The company was composed princi pally of opponents ot the war: but it was a mere social party, and all was going on well. A dis ciple of iEsculaoluB present, and talking to Phil. Indulged in some outlandish abuse of General Boeecrans. The veins of Phil's neck imme dintely stood out about two Inches, and he 'slopped over" in a few strong words that cleared the atmosphere of the room amazingly. A leading Copperhead who was present said that he would not nave had it occur for $50. ASTRONOMICAL. Disappearance of Three of Jupiter's Satellites on September 4, 1807. On August 21. at 5 o'clock P. M., all of Jupt ter's satellites will be invisible for one hour and torts-five minutes. As this phenomenon has hitherto been observed only on tour occasions. considerable interest is manifested in regard to it. In this instance, however, unfortunately for us, the planet will be below the horizon, and the phenomenon will not be visible in the United States. But on September three of the satel lites will be invisible from 960 to 10-65, Dudley Observatory, mean time. As J upiter will tnen be near the meridian, this phenomenon can be easily observed in the united states. The following are the times of disappear ance: At 8'30 the first satellite will enter on Jupiter'i lace. At 851 the second satellite will disappear be liind the Planet's disc. At 960 the third satellite will enter on Jupv ter's face. The three satellites will then be invisible for one hour and five minutes. During the progress of the phenomenon the shadows of the first and third satellites will appear as small, round, black spots crossing the planet's disc in the vicinity of his equator. The disappearance of the satellites can readily be Been with a spy-glass of medium size, but in order to observe the shadows on the planet's disc greater optical power will be necessary. lUcteorlo Display Last Night. A meteor of unusual beauty, formation, and magnitude, was observed in the heavens at about five minutes past ten o'clock last night. Tbe phenomenon appeared at an altitude of about twenty-five degrees above the horizon, one degree west of north, and was visible pro bably two seconds. The atmosphere was un usually clear In that quarter and favorable for observation. The meteor appeared as a sphere of semi-transparent yellowish tire, and after ac complishing about one-third of its tiight a loud detonation was distinctly audible. The sphere instantly burst on its northerly verge, and as sumed tne shape of a fleecy crescent, the body still retaining its original color, and the odges displaying a bluish green or phosphorescent tinge. A star of great magnitude and dazzling brlllalncy tuen bhot northward from between the horns of the crescent with great velocity and suddenly disappeared, while the crescent faded with a vapor-like rapidity. The phenomenon was witnessed by numbers of peisons on the streets, many of whom expressed admiration at so novel a spectacle. N. x. Herald. Old JEngllih Manners.

GAMBLING AT HOMBOURG. A Description lay Kev. Dr. Bellows. Rev. Dr. Bellows had a view of the gaming houses at Horobourg, and in a letter to the Liberal Ohristian.of New York, describes what he saw. He sajs: ''Deep playing is sure to attract a crowd of spectators, and commonly at any given time there will be only one person at each table who is nlavincr for a stake of five Nunn- lcons about twenty dollars lor eao.h r.mm: that is, each deal of cards or turn oi the roulette. Most of the players pledge a two florin niece- eighty cents on every coup. Even at this rate, as the deal occurs once in a minute or two, much money may be lost or wou in a half hour; and for the heavier players, who com mence with five Napoleons, and double their stake every time, it is plain that thirty thou sand francs may be changed from the private pocket to the bank, or the bank to the private pocket, in len or fifteen minutes. I have seen men and women both going away minus two or three thousand francs, after halt-a-dozen coups, and some otters carrying away as much after ten minutes' successful playing. Usually, how ever, large players re too fond of the excite ment to leave because tiiey are fortunate. They stay more commonly to shift their fortunes and leave their winnings with the bank. If every gamester left the table when the chances were in his favor, ibe batk would soon be out of capital. But it reckons too surely on the appe tite which success stimulates. FASCINATION OP GAMBLING. I have tried to analyze the fascination of ambling hv WHtrhinr thn iueea anil tha nlao nf tuose engaged in It. A more serious company it Is bard to conceive ot than the one gathered around these tables. Silence, gravity, unarm line attention, absorption in the business in band, a strained com posure and flxed expression, uetther moved by success nor disturbed by ill-luck, are the prevailing characteristics. You look In vain lor tne nervous, impassioned, suicidal expres sions of countenance vou are tauerht to exnent. Most of the company at play look beautifully unconscious of anything unusual, disgraceful, or sinful in their occupation. They are simply intent upon the game, each man watching bis stake with unleigned interest, but with a prac tised knowledge of the risks and a ieehncr that he may gain at the next turn what he lost in the last, ihe possibility ot success is always before the player, and he sees success attend'uier hi neighbor. The fact that in one miuute by sink ing a florin you may make it two or twenty. presents an excitement which to those without moral scruples on the subject must be very fascinating. 'Nothing but a well-considered and estub. lished conviction of the public and nrivato demoralization and peril of gambling could prevent persons from dipping into its deceitful waters here, where a sort of exceptional license covers gambling from reprobation; where all its concomitants are decorous; where drinking and carousing and the mote common forms ot dissi pation are suppressed ; where people of excellent social position ana general respectaDMty lords and barons, bankers aud countesses, gentlemen and ladles of fixed standing are found amusing themselves at the gambling-table, and where it is open and legalized, and conducted with un questioned fairness. Then itis doubtful whether the lookers-on are not really participants to the extent oi lenamg tne countenance of their presence to the immoral game. "Uuriosiiy ana a desire to study Human na ture under a powerful passion, have drawn me very often into the saloon; but I confess I never felt quite Innocent even in watchiug this be guiling and perilous fountain ot ruin and cor ruption. The chief evil is not done here at Hombourg, or at other public tables. It is the passion which is first awakened under the com paratively innocent circumstances or tnese puoiic ana nonehtiy conauctea gauionng-rooms which leads thousands of young men, und old ones too, to private play, until It becomes the business of their lives or the ruin of their for tunes and bodies and souls. The more habitual players here seem to be old men and women. Byron calls 'avarice a good old-gentlemanly vice.7 certainly tne love ot me excitement ot gambling seems to survive most other passions. No form ot gambler has appeared so truly dis gusting, however, as that ot tne old woman. A young Countess, lovely in person and dignified ana Belt-possessed, wnom 1 saw now losing, now winning, considerable sums, did not lose quite all her charms in the atmosphere of the gam bling table; but several old bags in lace and jewels, who Bat hour after hour at the board, seemed made up to disgrace their sex and their age. SUPERSTITION OF PLATERS. "The superstitions ot the players are a singu lar exhibition ot the credulity of those who have generally ceased to have any faith in God or man. jno grovening worsntpperot any im aginary toe-nan ot an imaginary saint ever exceeded in superstition the mass of the men and women who sit at these gambling tables, sAlomnlv ttH nrin cr rttlna 4n flint nafA-rmann u from which they read their guidance and through which they peep into the future for tunes which await them. Victims to absurd mysticisms about lucky numbers and false in. ferences from the abused law of averages, they go religiously on, trusting in their stars and tied to their dotage. "One very pious gambler, who believes in our glorious liturgy, dui not in preacning, nurnes from his Sunday prayers to try his luck at roulette, upon the 21-10 (chapter and verse) of tne text ine minister announces! Another turns his Bible to see what psalm opens, or what page cuts, and hastens to try his luck under such blessed guidance 1 Now it is the nine which the divinities of the gambler's table have consecrated, and the next day seven or twenty three. "If Maximilian is shot by seven men on tho 19th of June, seven and nineteen would be the secret talisman of the first gamester that heard the news, it he was not warned by the fate of i i ..li r - . . i i l j . me uouie gumoier id, lurones, wno sianeu un life and lost it upon the throw! Were there thirtv-one words in Napoleon's letter to M Rouher. offering him the diamond cross ot the Legion ot Honor, it would be ground enough for a bareheaded Frenchman here, who carries bis velvet cap in his hand in rain and shine, to nlav all day on that number, confident of coming out winner by 11 P. M., at which time the tables close. "Failure to-dav would do as little to cure the folly of such a hope as the empty results of ignorant and fanatical expectations do usually to norreet HnnerstUioas. It is not the fruit Of the suners'.ition. but the superstition useii which is precious! Religion, even in its falsest forms, is more disinterested than detainers of human nature susDect. But enough of this hateful but fasclua ting theme." A Balloon Survey of a Coming Storm. The English aeronaut Coxwell writes the fol- luwuig account ot a remartaoie series ot storm ODservatlons in his balloon: "I ascended from the Crystal Palace at Syden ham, and witnessed, during a tour luto Bert Bhtre, the peculiar formation of vapor and clouds which ended In onn nf the most diBa trous storms on record. When we rose over the centre transept the countrv southward was clear tor many a mile distant. Towards London, however, and down to the mouth of the Thames, neavy vapor rose im irnm rioi- and con- tlnued westward umil it mixed with the London fog. It ceased to follow the river's course at Chelsea, and SO Clnnr m.tv,.. ... nhmnnd l0"?., l?,S.'ih discerned patches of iVJ. .VL a ' me Thames, as numerous boats rowed over its transparent surlace. From metropolis mis long Mn0 of leaden vapor made a continuous mnru tm.-.iu winner Cat t e, so that it wa impossible to discern the Castle. As Captain Woo.lgate wlshe I to visit the barracks, 1 descended near the Great Park, Bad, taking in an4 eo,ual t,0 hjg wcig&t, Jtir, Woodgate and I rcsncendcd with the intention of going on further. "We ha4 not long entered noon our second voyage when the clouds gathered overhead in a tempestuous form; the deep line of mist refting on the earth had effected a reunion with the Thames. On pasting over it the tem perature was less by six degrees, at four thou sand feet, than it was at a similar altitude when we moved in a clearer atmosphere. I observed that twice previously I bad seen this clondscope, and that at each time it was followed by stormy weather, At 830 heavy clouds gatherad np from the south and west. We were then passing Reading, which was lighted up with gas. The clouds were fast closing in aroand us, and fine rain began to fall. At last theso huge clouds, the land mists, and northerly masses of vapor all met, and so dark and dreary was the land scape that we descended at EngleQeld Farm, and had not been long packed up before the rain commenced. "This was not an ascent for meteorological observations, and I only had with me a ther mometer and barometer; but the cloud modifi cations were most striking, and have, with out doubt, an interesting connection with the law of storms."
