7, \ IMPORTANT TO FARMERs--A proposition is
to be made in Congress which, if adopted,
will save wasting any time in looking out
for storms. This is the use Of signals to fore

country Of the approach of storms. Two can

When the Telegraph brings the news of an
Approaching storm, the cannon will be fired
oatdifjerent intervals, which will indicate the
direction whence the storm comes, and it is

The Vicksburg negroes take to
their burrows in the hills as natu-
rally as we "whitc trash" used to
do when Federal shells were flying
necessarily around. The Vicks-
burg Telegraph says that all over
the city, and under the city, huts
and ''huten tots" are TO be found.
Some are tolerable specimens of
architecture, and in them a few
colored people might comfortably
exist, but the majority are very rude
limitations of houses, and in most of
them from half a dozen to''inumer-
able multitudes whom no man can
count" live and move and have
their being. Many of these
men toll not, neither do they spin.
but the freedmen's bureau feeds
them. The males of these burrows
are entitled to vote, and some of
them claim cabin passage on steam
boats; but in general they are
harmless as ground hogs and equal
ly as active in habits agreeable to
the smell. In the catfish season
these voters fatten and do we'll, and
IN the winter they draw rations
from the Government and chickens
from the neighboring roosts. In all
seasons they are happy and conten-
ted; and an inspection of their
places of abode will show more
filth and less meat than any other
habitation in Vicksburg.

A Turkish Lunch.

Mark Twain says that while in
Constantinople he assisted" at q
Turkish lunch, and adds: '"The-
cooking apparatus was in little.
lunch room, near the bazaar, and it
was all open to the street. The
cook was dirty, and so was the ia
bic, and it had no cloth on it. The
fellow took mass of sausage-meat
and coiled it round wire and laid
it on a charcoal fire to cook.
When it was done he laid it a.
side and dog walked sadly in and
nipped it. He smelt it first, and
probably recognised the remains of
a friend. The cook took it away
from him and laid it before us.
Brown said, 4 pass'-he plays
euchre sometimes-and we all
passed in turn. Then the cook
baked broad, fiat, wheaton cake,
creased it we'll with sausage and
started to bring it to US. 1t dropp-
ed in the dirt, and he picked it
up and polished it on the seat
of his breeches, and laid it
before u.s. Brown said Il pass
We all passed and called new
deal. He put some eggs in fry
ing pan and stood pensively pry-
ing slabs of meat from between his
teeth with fork. Then he used
the fork to turn the eggs with
and brought them along. Brown
said.'I pass All followed suit.
We did not know what to do, and
so we ordered a new ration of sau.
sage. The cook got out his wire,
apportioned it proper amount of
spit on his hands, and
went to work! This time, with
one accord, we all passed out.
We paid and left. That is all l
learned about Turkish lunches.
A Turkish lunch is good, no doubt,
but it has its weak points"
