BURNING OF THE RAINBOW.
„ n ,„dous Lost of Human Life—Seventy-
Zt Lit" and $200,000 Lost—Boat and
Cargo Total Loss.
On tbe morning of tlrer 21 st,*about 2 o'clock,
retainer " Rainbow," Capt. Holcraft, on
way fro™ Now Orleans to Louisville, with
full cargo of. sugar and Coffee, and with
5U t 150 -soculs on board, whilst under way,
j (en miles above Napoleon, and near the
' j of Island 74, wns discovered to be on
■ and the officer of the deck, Mr. C. Whit
r' a { once gave the order to run on shore
ffbich order was immediately executed-by
.. hatnb, the pilot at the wheel; but by that
,e the entire boat was enveloped in flames.
os e of the passengers and crew that were
tbe forward part of the boat escaped with
t difficulty ; those on tbe stern were cut off
ui any weans of escape, except by jump
into the water —and although it was oniy
:ir yards to the shore, but few escaped that
into the water, and many were burutas
< lay in their berths—some were overcome
h fright and knew not which way to move,
[ thus were lost. . . j
•be books and papers being lost, it is a
iter of utter impossibility to ascertain the
Be „ of the lost or saved, hut after careful- J
comparing the statements of those that j
reared, wecannot make the loss less than
, n ty five human beings, all ushered into ,
presence of their Maker without, a uao- j

The officers without an exception were sav j

n greatly injured by the weevil, in
consequence of which he was often heard fo
indulge in curses against Providence. Solo
i men, no doubt hoping to make amends Tor
what he had thus lost, repaired shortly after
I dusk oft a rainy evening to-thespot aforesaid,
and, with the aid of his little son John, who
held the lantern, commenced digging diieetly
over the supposed vaults containing the trea
! sure. • And after having gone down about
seven and a half feet, there was (as now sta
ted by the boy) a great explosion from below,
whieb sent the boy possibly, and the father
certainly, many lect in the air. The boy,
however, seems to have been uninjttred. and
speedily recovering from his alarm so sts to
be able to walk, made the best of his way
home, reporting to the family tthnt had oc
jenrred,
The alarm being given, the neighbors soon
j congregated in wild dismay to the scene of
: the catastrophe, and there ending this upen
-1 ing in the earth, waiting until daylight ap
peared, some two or three among them made
bold enough to descend in the dark month of
the cavern, when to their terror and eurprise
they discovered a man apparently fresh, as if
in full life, but naked and tibnjed to -inE
itARDCST bton'E. It was soon bruited abroad
that Solomon Feltus had turned to stone for
blaspheming Providence on account of the
f loss of his crops and daring to violate the
sacred vaults of the old Catholic Koine to re
pair his misfortune—and this belief became
universal, when Solomon could no where be
found after the most diligent search instituted
by his friends aui others. Now, the solution
if this whnle mystery seems very simple to
the scientific mind, and we need no Ovid to
explain in mythologic verse the metamorpho
sis. The whole affair, with all the air of su.
peraatural agency which confused reports
have throws around it, is plainly solved as
follows: This vault, penetrated by Solomon
Feltus, as before described, was evidently the '
tomb of some old officiating priest of the sta
tion, who may have been interred there as
early as Che year 1000, and from the chemical
and mineral qualities of the percolating wa- !
ters of that region, the body of the dead man
had been converted into stone. The expio- j
sion which blew up Soionu n and the boy
doubtless can be very satisfactorily referred '
to tbe explosive gas generated iu the vault '
for the la9l 800 years; and the disappearance
of Solomon may be readily accounted for, by j
supposing the force .( the explosion to hate 1
been sufficient to carry him beyond tbe earth's
gravitating power, when, according to well
understood dynamical laws, he would go to
the mot n.
In addition to the moral which this
judgment should teach us respecting the aw
ful consequences of murmuring against the
ways of Providence, ami of the unscrupulous j
means we make use of in our haste to become
rich, its investigation #lso shows that the
wicked are no 1 inger punished in a mirncu- !
lous manner, but through the agency of nat- '
ural causes, and moreover settles to the satis
faction of the most doubting mind that long
vexed question that, if never before, there is
note unquestionably "a man in the moon."
By giving currency to the true version of
this remarkable occurrence, the blundering
errors connected with all former reports touch
ing the stone man will Le corrected.

TED INHALATION
The (treat point in lite treatment of all human maladies
i to yet at the disease in a direct manner. All medicine*
are estimated by their action upon the organ requiring
relief. This ia ihe important fact upon which lnhalat'on
It baaed If the itomacli is diseased, we take me.'icine
directly into the stomach. If the lungs are diseased,
breathe or inhale medicated vapor. directly into them. —
The reason why Consumption and disease* of the Lung*
have heretofore resisted all treatment, hag been bemuse

They were intended to he Iocs!, Knd yet they were so ad
