RAIx-The late rains have extended, we be-
lieve, from Oregon to Lower California, aston
ishing that venerable parsonage, the Oldest in
habitant, although it is within the memory of
our foreman that in 1851, during the month of
July, there was three days rain in our neigh
boring mines, causing the river claims to be
abandoned, and doing considerable damage to
crops. We have had it pouring down in tor
rents for some days past, aud the clouds, and
the yane upon our new church, give earnest that
the rain king has rot entirely deserted US, or
ceased to exercise dominion over this part of the
country.
Our neighbor, " Caxton,7 prophesied that we
should have rainy weather until after the eclipse,
which is advertised to come off on the 18th
Inst, aud even should it % dry up" now, we
would claim that he is scienced scholar" a
prophet, the son of a prophet, or remarkably
good guesser. Accident has much to do, some
times, in establishing reputation. We recol-
lect having heard auecdote of Gruber, who
made the Hagerstown Almanac, which may be
in point. He was on bit Of a spree" when
the boys in the Office were making up the " con-
lectures of the weather, which so religious
ly believed in in some localities, and one of the
boys came to him with the month of July, and
they got along very well till they reached the
middle of the month, when his boy asked him,
What shall say for the 18th ?" "Put it
down snotr," was the answer; and as fate would
have it, it did snow, and that guess made him a
fortune.
1t is almost as well to be born lucky as rich
or wise.

DEscRPTIoN OF 4 Coop HoRsE.-He should be

nostrils themselves large, transparent and open
eyes, clear and sparkling, ears small and neatly
set on, neck rather short and well set up, large

THE LATE GEN. JEssUP.-General Jessup, of
the L. S. Army, who recently died, was born in
Virginia in 1888, and was therefore 70 years
old at the time of his death. He entered the
army in 1908, as second lieutenant. He was
licutenant-colonel under Scott and Brown, in the
severe battles on the Canada frontier in lsl4.-
He was severely wounded in the battle of Lun-
dys Lane. In 1928 he was made major gene
raj. He commanded in the Florida war against
the Indians in 1886, and was wounded in bat
tie with them. He was succeeded by General
Taylor, in 1898, and has since been in charge of
his department as Quartermaster General, in

Political Credulity.

r. What most surprises us in politics just
now is the seeming confidence of the par
tisans Of Senator Douglas that he will be
nominated by the Democratic Convention
at Charleston, Ct, That men Of ordinary in:
telligence should be delpded by. the clap
trap Of manufactured public opinion, into
an. idea that it is even possible to nominate
judge Douglas, is quite surprising. It is
merely, game Of brag. :, The attempt of
the Douglas men to divide the South is an
absurdity, and the pretence that the vote
Of the New England delegates will be given
to him is palpable cheat. The wire
working politicians among the Yankees
are not for Douglas, for the simple reason
that they have no faith in his ability to
win. Inc iaott t,iat ii Il he las no claim upon
the Democratic party, which he has done
more to break down and ruin than any
other living man, is not necessary to be
urged against his nomination to defeat it
The fact that he cannot figure up the votes
10, secure lis election will settle his hash.
He will undoubtedly be strong candidate
before the Convention, as he wa: in 1882
1856, tut he will probably not be able to
show any more votes than he commanded
en- those occasions ;. and these must mostly
como from States that can do him no good
in the contest. "7 We fancy the first business
that the smart politicians: will do, when
they get to Charleston, will be to5.kill off
Douglas He will, Of .conrse, be allowed
to get just votes enough not to be nomina-
ted, and when the thing is all fixed, his
throat. will be cut as quick as lightning,
while all his pretended friends of to-day
will cry-"'Amen p The South don't
want Douglas and will not have him. The
same may be said OF New York, Pennsyl-
svania and California:-M r. :ANos DEM

/ The Democrats arc noo prepared to

Democratic Judges of Virginia refused
obedience to the, Supreme Court. ? In

treated the mandates of the Supreme
Court with contempt. But in 1857, the
Supreme Court declares that Slavery goes

decided that Congress had power to char

Gratis, in their next convention, resolved
that Congress had not the power to charter

tion since, they have persistently reiterated
their defiance Of the Court and Bank
The Bank is dead and gone, but they
