Economist, in an article giving grain mar
kets from 1876 to 1871 in France, show
that:

was cheaper than in times of peace, and
for the obvious reason that under ordina+

The Detroit Free Press has made the dis.

The Charleston, Is c. Mercury says that
it objects to making the re-opening of the
slave trade an issue in the politics of this
country, because it would not be safe to
revive the trade in the present relationship
OF the South and the North because it is
now impracticable and idle, and because
it is mischievous issue-an issue regard
ing which there may well be a difference
Of opinion, and which is no test of sound
ness TO Southern Institutions. 1t says fur
Their, "as a practical living issue, on which
to turn the politics of the South, we re-
gard the re-opening of the slave trade as
a very frebrand fraught with mischief
and danger. And in this point of view we
are, and have been from the beginning,
strongly opposed to its being used"

A Bull Doc ATTACKING AZ ELEpH,ST--
How HE CAME OUE-The Petersburg (Na J
Erpress says:
An amusing incident occurred while
Van Amburg menagerie was crossing the
Appomattoy a short distance above the
Pocahontas bridge, strikingly illustrative
of the fact that the bull dog is the most
courageous of all animals and will attack
any creature, regardless of size As tle
elephant entered the water with his usu-
al slow aad cautious step, some individual
in the crowd, prompted by spirit OF mis-
chief, hied on large bull dog to attack
the huge animal
The dog instantly obeyed, and, plunging
into. the water, seized hold of one of the
hind legs Of the elephant, on which the
latter only switched him with his tail as
he would brush off fly; but not Kidding
himself of his assailant by such gentle
means, and feeling sharp teeth at work
upon his leg, he suddenly threw his snout
around, and, Selling the dog, held him IN
der the water till he was nearly drowned :;
then raising him high in the air, threw
him at least hundred feet out in the
stream. Fully satisfied with the punish
ment he had received, the dog made his
way to the shore and beat hasty retreat

WEATHER PRopHEcY-Mr +. L. Capen
has a communication in the Chicago Press
d; Tribune, in which he claims to have mad e
discoveries in the science of Meteorolocy
by which he can fortell with precision
the state of the weather in any given To-
cality for months in advance. The theory
of Mr.. C., by which he arrives at such
startling results, appears to be very SINH
lar to that announced by Mr.. Bassnett, of
this city, several years ago; and in remark
ing editorially upon the letter of Mr. Ca
pen, the Press .c Tribune does Mr. B. the
justice to say:
Mr. Thomas Bassnett of Ottawa Ill
has at various times made weather cacula-
tons for different parts of the country OF
remarkable accuracy, on . novel system OF
his own devising. Mr.. Bassnetts system
was published some years ago in book.
which was severely irowned upon by the
managers of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, though no
satisfactory reason was given for their de
cision upon its merits
If there is any groundwork Of truth at
. the bottom of the presumed discoveries
| of either of these gentlemen, the world
will surely award them places among its
bcnefactors whenever the proof is pre-
sented
