How Rain is Formed.

To understand the philosophic phenome-
non, essential 20 the very existence of plants
and animals, few facts derived from obser-
vation and long train of experiments. must
be remembered. Were the atmosphere ev-
erywhere, at all times, at a, a,uniform temper
ature, we should never have rain, hail or
snow. The water absorbed by il IN evapo-
ration from the sea and the earth's surface
would descend in an imperceptible Vapor,
or cease to be absorbed by the air. when it
was once fully saturated. The obsorbing
power of the atmosphere, and consequently,
its capability to retain humidity is proper
tionally greater il warm than In cold air
The air near the surface of the earth is
warmer than it is in the region of the clouds,
the higher We ascend from the earth, the
colder we find the atmosphere.
Hence the perpetual snow on very high
mountains, in the hottest climates. Next,
when from continued evaporation the air is
highly saturated with vapor, though it be
invisible, if its temperature be suddenly re-
duced by cold currents descending from
above. or rushing from higher to lower
latitude. its capacity to retain moisture is
diminished, clouds are formed, and the re-
suit is rain. Air condenses as it cools and
like sponge filed with water and compress
ed, pours the water which It's diminished
capacity cannot hold. How singular yet
how simple is such an arrangement for wa
tering the earth i-iScient5ffc american.

Buchanan Opposed to Emancipation
in Missouri.

The Missouri Democrat thus arraigns the
Administration for its course relative to the
gradual adjustment of slavery in the State
of Missouri:
President Buchanan is exerting the pow
er of his appointments to crush out the at
tempt which the people of Missouri are max
ing to initiate the example of the people of
Pennsylvania. Every village postmaster,
every register, receiver, contractor, must
be sworn against the crusade of free labor,
before he can hope for recognition from the
Administration. Presses are supported by
official advertising, and politicians kept
alive by Official plunder, to intimidate, dis
suade, and prevent any step in the consum-
nation of a gradual emancipation act here
in Missouri. Mails are rihed. spies are set,
bribes held out to insure slavery perpetua-
ton in our midst. But why need we re-
cite these things. They are known to all;
boasted of by participants and openly coun-
tenaneed by Federal authority. Missouri
is victimized in all her relations to the Gen
eral Government, for seeking to shake o6
an incubus that is weighing down her ener-
gies and paralysing her development; and
the chief actor in this work of Ostracism is
James Buchanan, citizen of Pennsylvania,
which, in 1880, in abolishing slavery, de-
clsred it ga peculiar blessing granted to heE
to be enabled that day to add another STEP
to universal civilization"

astrous effects upon the native races. These
results are, to use the language of the Daily

spectators, disturbance of society in the
interior; an alienation from cultivation and
production for legitimate commerce (tempo-

Col. Benton Before he was Senator.
The following account of the early days
of COL Benton, is from the new American
Encyclopedias, vol. ILL.,, to be published in
June next:
Thomas Hart Benton was born near Hills
March 18th, 1889. His father died when
he was eight years old; his early education
was imperfect; he was for some time at a
grammar school, and afterwards at Chapel
Hill, the University of North Carolina, but
finished no course of study there. as his
mother removed to Tennessee to settle on a
tract of land belonging to his fathers estate.
Thomas studied law, and soon rose to emf
nence in that profession. He was now elec-
ted to the Legislature, serving only single
term, during which he procured the passage
of law reforming the judicial system, and
of another giving to slaves the benefit of
jury trial, the same as white men. One of
his earliest friends and patrons was Andrew
Jackson, at that time Judge of the Supreme
Court, and subsequently, Major General of
the State militia. Benton became his aid
de-camp, and during the war also raised a
regiment of volunteers. 1t was from that
service he derived the title of Colonel, which
has clung to him through life. Notwith-
standing the close intimacy between jack
son and himself, which was one of the most
cordial and unreserved character, rude and
sudden rupture took place in which several
pistol and dagger wounds were given, and
produced rencounter that enstranged them
for many years.
After the volunteers were disbanded, Mr..
Ma iison appointed Colonel Benton, in 1919,
Lieutenant colonel in the army, but on his
way to serve in Canada in 1914, he heard
the news of the peace and resigned. He
now removed to Missouri and took up his
abode in the city of st. Louis, in 1916
There he devoted himself anew to his pro-
fession. Soon, however, engaging in the
politics of the day, he was led to the estab-
lishment of newspaper called the Missouri
Argus. In this position he was involved in
many disputes and contentious. Duels were
usual at that time, and he had his share of
them, with their unhappy consequences
In one of them, which was forced upon him,
he killed his opponent, Mr.. Lucas-an event
he deeply regretted, and all the private pa
pers relating to which he has destroyed
His journal took strong and vigorous stand
in favor of the admission of Missouri. not
withstanding her Slavery Constitution, and
when the angry controversy was termina-
ted, was rewarded for his Iabors by being
chosen one of the first Senator's from the
new State.
