A CURIOSITY IN GRAPHING.-On the lst instant,
young man, Virginian by birth, came from New
Orleans receiver for the Associated Press
port this point. He is young Of intelligence
but deaf as a post He lost his hearing years
ago and then learned the art Of telegraphy, in which
he has become remarkably adept. His name is s. y
Hoffman, and his method of receiving a report is ex
ceedingy interesting Good operators receive by the
ear the clickings of the instrument being to them like
audible reading each letter and word being licked off
distinctly though spelled out by the human voice
Not hearing single sound he places his hand upon
the working instrument, placing his knee against
the operating table, by his peculiar and sensitive
feels each vibration distinctly that he is able
to surpass ordinary receivers in the accuracy of bis
ports. He hears nothing about him. snever disturbed,
and consequently works in silent world Of his own.
Ia this condition his memory has become wonderfully
retentye, and, consequence his manuscript is e1
ceedingly correct while bis chirography is excellent
decided Improvement in telegraphic reports for
time past. except brie interval. Mr.. Hoffman
can speak, and answer questions put to him audiby.
The mode of communication the telegraph boys have
with him is to tick of, as instrument, upon his
hand the back Of his neck such things as they de-
sire to say to him. This is by means tedious,
the process is quite rapid ordinary drum beat.

CLIMATIC CUEIosITIEs.-The changes in a country's
climate by settlement and cultivation of the soil often
seem strange and inconsistent. A letter from late
traveller in Nebraska notes curious contrasts ::
g It is frequent subject of remark in the Ohio Val
ley, that settling the country, clearing and ditchng
the land constantly makes it drer; that old wells and
springs are drying up, and each succeeding summer
branches dry which never did before. The French
Agricultural Report makes the same complaint, and
calls upon the Government 10 stop the destruction of
the forests as the means Of preserving the rivers
But here with settlement exactly the reverse phe-
nomena are presented, and the quantity Of rain in
Western Nebraska and Kansas has doubled withisthe
memory Of man. Perhaps this is due somewhat to the
trees planted farms, but think also that the
breaking up of the sod allows it to absorb nois
than it could in the prairie state and in many in
stances turning hundred acres of sod will
old spring. Fresh branches are starting in gues
which have been dry for hundreds perhaps thousands
of years. Thus springs break out in the thirsty viii
deruess, and streams OF water in the dry gIoundn
Here is an important principle at work, which will
able agriculture to make great advances on what is
now the American desert" Akin to these the
facts of heavy rains this in Colorado and Cal
iforna States where the rule Of dry summers seems
to have been invarable heretofore. Who shall divine
the Law Of such revolutions?
