the ridges, corrugatIons, and openings in this at
nosphete are numerous, the heat emitted by the
sun must be proportionally increased, and thai this
augmentation must be perceptible by its effects on
vegetation. He expected, therefore, that in those
wears when the solar spots were most numerous,
the vegetation would be most luxurient; and tha,
this effect might be sscertained from the price Of
wheat, as marking the productiyeDess Of the season.
BY comparing the solar appearances, as given by
La Lande, with the table Of the price Of wheat In
Smiths Wealth OF Nations, he obtained results
which, on the whole, appear favorable to his hypo-
thesis. Much more Satisfactory and probable is
the reasoning that ces tain positions Of The moon
more directly and certainly produce extraordinary
effects on Inc advancement OF vegetable growth.
Va the subject Of The harDest moon, Ferguson gays:
" Since the moon is always opposite The sun when
she is full, and since it is only when she is IN Pisces
and Aries that the harvest moon can happen, the
harvest moon can only take place when the sun Il
In the opposite signs. Virgo and Libra, tI.at is In
the antumDal months" Hence there can be only
two full moons in the year, which rise aimost for D
week together at the setting Of the sun. The first
OF these moons is called The harDsst, and the second
the hunters moon.
Since the moon does not move IN the ecliptic.
but in an orbit, inclined to the plane Of the ecliptic,
having one half Of it above, and one half OF below
that plane, il is obvious tbat the part of the moons
orbit, at the ascending node, when the moon rises
above the ccliptic, must make a less angle with The
horizon than the ecliptic itst4f; and, on the contra
ry, that the part of the moons orbit, at the descpn-
ding node, where the moon descends below the
ecliptic, must make a greater angle with the hori
zon than the ecliptlc does, and therefore a greater
proportion OF the eciptic will rise above tie hoii.
1ou, while she describes l3o of her orbit conse
quently the ha,cest moon will rise more nearly at
the same time than if the moon had been in the
ecllptic. These harvest moons are said to be most
6~enehcsal to the husbandman. In the course Of 0
years and liz days, when the moons nodes have
performed half a revolution, and when the deseen-
ding node has como to Aries, the moons orbit will
make an angle with the horizon $40 greater than
when she is in the eclipttc; and, consequently, the
harvest moon will mol rise so nearly at the some
time as it the moon bad been in the e%cliptic. These
moons are SAID to be least beneficial.

Courier, "by a Commercial house in this city, with
the following important intelligence, contained in a
letter, dated
MoETEvIDEo, Jolly 6, 1889.

following information, and the report seems to be
generally believed. On the 9Th ultimo, supposed
at the instigation Of Rosas, a mob entered the SEN

put to death the President in his char, and abou,
200 persons had been arrested and thrown into pris-
on. The cause ofthese proceedings is said 10 hove
been an attempt prematurely discovered to upset
tie present administration"
The above report appears to US as extremely
doubtful, and entitled to but little credit. A letter
from another source Of tie same date says-"W

IMPORTANT AND ACCEPTABLE NEWS.

Commodore Bechamel, Of the French armed
steamer Veoce, arrived in this city on Thursday
evening fiom Baltimore, accompanied by Captain
De Challie, his first officer. The Veloce arrived
at Baltimore on Thursday morning in fve days
from Havana. The Commodore, when he enter
ed the Chesapeake intended TO proceed up the
Potomac direct to Washington, but, OH ascending
the river some thirty or forty miles, found his pro-
gress arrestedby the ice, when he put about and
proceeded to Baltimore. But for this impeachment
we should have found foreign s.eam-lrigate pro-
baby anchored off our navy yard, two hundred
and fifty miles inland, before any one was aware
that such ship was on our coast. We state this
fact, in connexion with the rapid passage of the
Veloce from Havana, to mark the important revo-
luton which has been, suddenly as it were, Gre
ated in naval operations by the all-powerful agen-
cy of seam-a revolution which, by placing Eu-
rope and America, practically, within less than
half the distance which formerly separated them
from each other, more deeply affects our own
country and its position in regard to foreign states
than any other. II imparts to us new relations,
and imposes fresh duties; and it would argue more
of madness than Of thoughtfulness to disregard the
lesson which it teaches US.
We are happy to learn from a gentleman who
accompanied the French officers from Baltimore,
that hostilisies have been terminated between
France and Mexico. Through the Intervention
and mediation of Admiral Douglas, commanding
the British fleet on the Mexican coast, terms Of
accommodation have been mutually agreed on by
the belligerents, and hostilities had ceased.
