/, Country uithoM rain.-ln that part
of Peru called Nallies, which lies on
the n.rth and south side Of Lima, in
south latitude IL deg, bound on the
east BY the Andes, and on the West by
the Pacific Ocean. it never rains at all.
But during winter, the earth is covered
with SO thick a fog as to intercept the
rays of the sun. This fog appears al
most every day during winter with Il
density tina; ohscures objects any dis
lance. About ten or eleven o'clock
it bcgii's to raise, but without being to-
tally dispersed. though it is then no i'm
pcdimcnt to the sight, intercepting
only the direct rays of the sun by day,
and the stars by night. Sometimes it
is so far dispersed. that the disc ofthc
sun becomes visible, put the heat from
his rays is still precluded. In the win
ter season these vapors dissolve into
very small mist or dew, which they
call garnas, and thus every where
molsten the earth. These garnas
never fall in any quantities sufficient to
d''nage the roads or incommode the
traveller; but they render arid and
barren pats fertile. They convert
the disagreeable dust Of the streets Of
Lima into mud.
Now. in that country, the wind al
ways blows from the south, that is,
from cold to a warmer region. Some
times itveers apoint or two to the east.
But it always blows between the south,
and southeast. When the fogs come
on, the south wind is barely felt, and a
scarcely preccptible air seems to come
from the north, which forms the fog
The obvious reason why it never rains
in that country, is. that the wind con-
stantly blows from a colder to hotter
part oftheworld. Wesee also the cause
OF the fogs; they are occasioned by the
mixture Of the hot air from the north
with the colder air from the south.

not often allow of gentle feelings. but
there are few who. in parting are suisi-

He had been educated in the ins.itu-

Mr.. Attorney General to-day moved
that a committee be appointed to ex-
press the feeling of the House on the

had been stolen from his mother, then

mendicant impostor. After making.

deserted him in Philadelphia. He
