The Weather.

The weather is frequently made to rep
resent fckleness. Gas changeable as the
weather, Is no uncommon expression.-
Now, be it known to every body that the
weather in this region, for the last ten days has
been as uniform as Gillian climate. We
have had during that time no sudden shift
ings from heat to cool, and from cool to heat
mo quick changes from sunshine to shower.
We will match the last ten days here, with
the same number of days of any climate
under the sun-and we wouldn't stand back
much to include the place the WAGNER
spoke of when he felt the water at Hot
Springs-for uniform unvarying temper
ature,-the prostrating, weat-producng
thought blasting, body temperature
of ninety-odd, Farenheit Add to this the
continual clouds Of dust which, slightly d.
luted with air, We have to breathe, and the
picture of uniformity is complete. The
memory of man scarcely runneth to the
contrary of when the last rain fell. and DO
tatoes and pumpkins. and everything of the
vine genus are suffering IF it don't rain
soon, there will be no use in following the
old adage-"Root hog or die, for there will
be nothing to root for.

WHAT MEANS IT?--The Washington
Union in speaking Of the refusal of Con-
gress to place the ten millions Of dollars at
the Presidents disposal, quite mysteriously
says;
The failure Of the measure may embar-
rass and defer the final consummation of the
administration as to Cuba. We hope, how
ever, that no such consequence may follow,
but that the report of the committee may
have the effect of infusing new vigor and en-
ergy into the measures adopted BY The execu-
tive for the consummation Of its policy"
What can this policy be which required
in the first place, ten millions " dollars w
carry it out, and then hoped To have "neR
vigor and energy infused into it by the re-
fusal Of the ten millions Cuba must be
in danger Is she drinking in the stream
below the wolf?

The GreytOwn Concern.

The Washington Union" and other pa
pers are attempting to justify the course of
all concerned in the Greytown affair; in
deed not only to justify the proceeding, but
to give it an air Of heroism Admit that a
gang Of lawless fellows Of all nations had
gathered at Greytown, and that they some
times committed depredations upon the prop
erty Of the Transit Company, was there no
way Of getting at these rascals but by de-
stroying the entire town, and involving in
its destruction, the innocent with the guilty?
1t is said that it is better for ten guilty men
to escape punishment than that one innocent
man should suffer Were there 10 inno-
cent men at Greytown None who had
rights and interests which should have been
respected? Bad as Greytown ras, there
were, surely, considerations enough to have
saved it from The fate of Sodom and Co.
morrah.
The Union is laboring hard to white
wash the business, and will, probably, be-
fore it gets through, hold the Greytown at
fair up to the world as one Of the most bril-
liant achievements OF modern times. It
may exhibit justice and heroism and nation
al honor, as inAicting merited punishment,
but i will say nothing about humanity, as
she stands in the back ground, and weeps
over the ruin Of defenceless town. Boast
ed justice is but brutality-heroism becomes
pusilanimity, and national honor is not worth
preserving, which have to be maintained at
the expense Of humanity

Southern Education,

The Northern Colleges are becoming SO
tinctured with Abolitionism that but few
Southern students are to be found within
their walls The Professors at Yale recent.
ly hesitated to give young man from the
South his diploma, because, in his public
address at the examination, he advocated
the institutions Of his home 1t is high
time for every one to leave when it comes
to this For the sake of little Latin and
Greek, student is expected to renounce
the land of his nativity, and to join the cry
of fanatics against the best interests of his
relatives and friends.
Southern pride will not stand this nor
is there indeed the least inducement for
them to do SO. We have had high notions
of Old Cambridge. and Yale, and Prince
ton Colleges, and the idea has too generally
pervaded the South that a thorough educa-
tion could not be elsewhere obtained. TIE
recent course of the managers of these
Northern Institutions has opened the eyes
Of the South to the value of their own re-
sources. and turned their attention to the
encouragement of their own Colleges
These Northern schools have been conduct
cd by learned men, and the South slaked
lis thirst at the old fountains so long as they
were kept sparkling and pure. But Aboli-
tionism has polluted the once bright waters,
and the South turns from them with merited
disgust.
We have Colleges already established.
which, with the encouragement of our own
people, would soon be equal to Yale or any
other College in the Universe. What then
will the South lose by giving up these old
Northern Institutions? She will lose moth
ing but she will maintain and cherish that
of which Northern fanatical schools would
deprive her-the devotion of her sons.
The following remarks are from Rich
mond paper =
"The Reverend Professor Goodrich, of
Yale College, declares that the members of
the faculty of that institution are a unit in
opposition to slavery. He takes occasion,
too, to inform the South that Yale cares
nothing for its patronage. 1t is evident,
from the tone employed by this fanatic that
any Southern man who sends his son to
Yale College, (or to any Northern school,, J
will be subjecting him to influences that
must infallibly render him Southern man
with Northern principles. They are hot
beds of abolitionism, nurseries of fanaticism.
The professors are all abolition propagand-
lists, and employ the power which their posi-
tons confer in making their pupils as thor
oughly anti-slavery as themselves"

NThe free negro, FRED DOUGLASS, re-
Gently delivered an oration before the litera-

withhold their own names Men who have
been the means of calling forth SO much

be immortalized. They certainly should be
permitted to share with their sable champi

10 Famine is sceurging the inhabitants
of the Ionian Isles. Zante and Cepbelonia
it is said, are suffering terribly, the streets
being constantly crowded with starving
men, women and children. What field is
this for missionary effort How gratefully
would few ship loads of provisions be re-
oeived by these suffering people While
so much money is expended for the promul-

The Late Dreadful Calamity at
Louisville.

The Louisville Democrat gives the fol-
lowing particulars Of the frightful hurricane
which visited Louisville on the 9th ult:
One Of the most violent storms which
has ever swept over this section of Kentucky
left its dreadful footprints in the city yester-
day. After a severe drouth Of many weeks
duration, the sky, early in the day indicated
rain. The clouds gathered, and we had
what persons, not within the reach Of the
tornado accompanying il. would call a thun-
der shower. But within the reach Of its
sweeping breath was the Third Presbvteri-
an Church, corner Of Eleventh and Wal
nut streets, which, it completely wrecked
blowing from a westwardlv direction. the
entire building fell in, roof. rafters. brick
walls and all, crushing some twenty of The
congregation to instant death, and woundinr
seriously, perhaps mortally. some ten or
twelve others. The scene IL described w
most heart-rending. Soon large crowd
assembled, and began their search for the
victims. A mother and TER three children
were grouped in death another presented
father, mother and babe-the father dead
the mother mortally wounded, while their
little child, placed beneath them, escaped
unhurt, protected BY the forms Of its parents
In other instances some Of the victims were
found terribly bruised and manned. The
catastrophe has stricken CONSERVATION into
the very heart Of the city, and its people
are appalled, beyond belief.

From the Plains,

The St. Louis Republican Of the 18th.
has letter from Fort Laramie. dated July
Sd, from which we extract some interesting
paragraphs
We left Council bluffs on the Sth cf June
crossed the river. accompanied by large
and respectable party Of ladies and gentle
men. with whom we passed joyous night
The following morning we arose, refreshed
by calm nights slumber beneath the blue
canopy Of heaven, with buoyant spirits, and
prepared to proceed on-but 10 /. our horses
we're not to be found.
Every effort was made to discover them,
and, in part, succeeded We saw them at
distance, but when we arrived at the spot
all had vanished, save the tracks. which we
followed fifty miles. but were obliged to
abandon the chase in despair Seven were
taken belonging to Mr.. Babbitt. and two
belonging TO Col. Williams. Thus we were
left without means to proceed on. Howev-
er, others were soon obtained, and the te-
dious journey across the plains was COM
menced
We have had no trouble up to this point,
though many had much difficulty with the
Indians. One company under the direction
Of Mr. Jones, had several hundred sheep
taken, and one French Wood was killed in
the contest. Also, company lost some
twenty-four horses. the name Of the COM
mander Of which have not learned. These
depredations were committed in the neigh
borhood Of Loupe Fork The Pawnees are
charged with the robbing
Government should take some steps to
protect the emigrants, and put stop to
these depredations, or the time will come
when the people will cease to suffer such
treatment and exterminate the Indian race.
We think the Upper Missouri Sioux stole
Mr. Babbitt's horses though we have no
positive evidence of the fact Many other
depredations have been committed this sea
son. Indeed. the Indians seem more hostile
this spring than ever before.

Al, Ugly Practice,

1t is bad enough to chew tobacco, at all,
but the practice of chewing in church is
worse than bad enough''-it is utterly
abominable. Walk into church after SER
vice and see the isle and pews besmeared
and b!ackened with filthy puddes of tobac-
co juice, and if you have contributed, in the
least, to the disgusting sight before you, re-
solve. forthwith, that you will do so no more.
and that if you do not entirely quit the use
of the weed, you will at least, throw out
your quid before you enter the church.
The following lines, posted up in pew
in Worcester, Mass, are as much in place
here as they are there.
Ye chewers of that noxious weed
Which grows on earth's most cursed sod
Be pleased to clean your filthy mouths
Outside the sacred blouse of God.n
Throw out your plug and cavendish.u
Your tall your twist and honey dew.n
And don't presume to spit upon
The pulpit, aisle, or in the pew.
