DRYING UP OF THE Mlss1ssIPpI.-Old
steamboat men declare that the signs OF
the past four or five seasons point to the
permanent drying up of the Mississippi
river, reducing it from stream navigable
for tie largest boats the whole season, to
one of uncertain navigation, like the Mis-
souri,, passable at certain seasons, and
the rest OF the year shrunk to mere
creek, winding along among sandbars and
shoals. There is certainly some change
taking place IN our climate that is affect
ing our lakes and rivers. They are great
ly different in their habits from what
they were eight or ten years ago. The
average of water is steadily decreasing.
Our "June RISE" once as certain as the
coming of the month, has totally ceased.
The heaviest rains, which once would
have swelled the river several feet, now
do not seem to affect it in the least.
There are many theories advanced to
explain this. One is, that the climate is
undergoing some change, which seems
plausible, as those who have studied the
meteorology of our State are convinced
that this change is taking place. Anoth-
er theory is that the cultivation Of the
country, destruction of forests, and other
physical causes have tended to decrease
the rainfall and retard the following OF
extra moisture into the streams.
Whatever may be the cause, the effect
certainly exists, and the same thing has
been seen on all the Western rivers,
which are gradually shrinking up.-St
Paul Pioneer.

From the Richmond Times, august 8.

The following order from Gen. Terry
prohibiting 'negro drills" will be receiv-
ed with the most lively pleasure by our
citizens, and is long step towards re-
moving the naturally bitter feelings of
the citizens of Richmond towards the
military authorities who have heretofore
permitted such exhibitions of negro i'm
pudence and folly. The people Of Vir-
ginia desire to treat the freedmen with
Justice and kindness, and had Gen. Terry
failed to suppress the military demonstra-
tions, it would have been just cause Of
complaint. Whether military official
likes or dislikes it, it is matter of no
consequence, where he does his duty:
military organizations, or associations
for the purposes of drill or military in
struction, other than militia companies OF
regiments which have been, or may be
hereafter, organized by, or under the au-
thority Of his Excellency the Governor
of this State, will not be permitted in
this Department during the existence O.

Poor BoYs.-Don't be ashamed, my lad,
ifyou have patch on your elbow lit is
no mark of disgrace. 1t speaks we'll for
your industrious mother For our part
we would rather see dozen patches OH
your jacket than hear one protane or vul-
gar word from your lips, or to smell the
fumes of tobacco on your breath. No good
boy will shun you because you cannot
dress as we'll as your companion, and ifa
bad boy sometimes laughs at your appear
ance, say nothing, my good lac; but walk
on. We know many rich and good
man who was once as poor as you. Fear
God, my boy, and ifyou are poor but hon
est, you will be respected a great deal
more than if you were the son ola ~ich-
man, and were addicted to bad habits.

= The following interesting passages

= The following interesting passages
are extracted from late foreign files
Dr. Cumming lecturcd at HalfaS, Eng,
land, lately, on the "Signs of tho Times"
The lecturer did not claim to be q
prophet, but expressed his belief that
these were solemn and startling times,
and that the world was on the point of
great events The great lines of prophe-
cy seem to intersect the year 1867. The
world, ,,,he believed would notbc destroyed,
but would endure forever in more puri-
fed and exalted state. Though he was
unable to explain the increase of Roman
ism in England, he believed the heart of
the country was still true to Protestant
ism. In 1892 there were 5000 priests in
Paris, but, though the population of the
CITY had doubled itself since that time,
there were now 900 priests only in Paris.
He believed the Saturday evening Of the
world was very near, and that on the
Sabbath of thousand years, which were
at hand, there would be sunrise which
would experience no Western dcclension.

SURGERY BY STEAM AND CIRCULAR

SURGERY BY STEAM AND CIRCULAR
SAws.-A progressive surgeon thinks that
it is probably the scientific world and the
rest of mankind will hail with Joy the
news that large military hospital has
been established at Breslau, on the Oder,
in Silesia, by orders of the Prussian gov.
ernment, in which has been placed, and
made ready for immediate use, circular
saw, worked by steam power, to be used
for the purpose of amputating such limbs
of wounded soldiers as the surgeon in
charge shall deem best to have removed.
"Imagine, says the writer, "the rapidity
with which such operations can be per-
formed by this simple process, and the
accuracy with which they can be conduc-
ted ?"

The VALUE OF NEGRO TEsT1MoNY.-
The utter worthlessness Of negro evil
dence was strikingly exemplifed in case
that occurred in this town last week.
One of our most respected young plan,
ters was arrested on the charge, preferred
by several freedmen in ms employ, T., OF
numbering one of his field hands: Inc
result of the investigation was his instant
and honorable release, as the evidence
AGAINST him being conclusively shown to
he of the most base and malicious char
acter. The murdered" negro was pro-
duced before the authorities, not only
"not kilt" but promising from his ap-
pearance life of fully average longevity.

tidote, which is in the reach of all. 1t is
plant which is known among the Indi-
ans as the Indian onion, which is found
in low grounds, in oak woods, a portion
of which plant, when dug up, will be
found to resemble the tongue of a snake.
This should be cut off and pounded, and
a poultice made of new milk and applied
to the bite. The top of the plant bears
a little yellow flower, which should also
be pounded, and mixed with new milk
and drank by the patient. This remedy
was in use with the Indians when the
first settlers came to this country, who
availed themselves of the remedy in
many instances, and always with success
The plant can only be found during the
season when snakes are most dangerous.
