walks on his fore legs and keeps his hind

hind leg, and has a perfectly Symmetrical
gambril joint, just like any horses hind
leg. Strange to say, with this leg he does
his kicking, and accomplishes his hostility
with as much grace as any horse of his
prctcnsions and breeding. His physical
structure otherwise is not out of keeping
with other horses. But the chief oddity
of this singular horse remains to be des-
cribcd. He has on the end of his nose
or more properly on his upper lip--a

Where stor...s Come From.

In letter of Rev. Henry Ward Beech
to correspondent in Maine during our
wet spell. he said:
Il hope that you Maine people are not
conspiring to drown us out, as our storms
come from down east" afEti
This is common belief and often stated
Mr.. Beecher can hardly be supposed to
partake of this error. He must have been
facetious. But, as coming from him Il
helps to continue the delusion, let me state
few facts: 4 balloon which rose in ST.
Louis landed on the ST. Lawrence river
A balloon which rises high on the Atlantic
coast goes 10 sea. A vessel about leaving
the atlantic coast and expecting storm
telegraphs 10 the south and west 10 asccr-
tain if one is coming a storm that was in
New York State yesterday is in Maine to
day and in Nova Scotia TO morrow.
Why do all these movements in the nir
point casterly? Because the whole bulk
Of the air one or two miles above the sur
face OF the Garth, in this latitude, is moving
eastcrly, and always moves Ieasierly. No
balloon can enter there. No wbirlwind,
shower, or storm, can thrust its head into
that overwhelming current without follow
ing its course. The casterIy and other
surface winds which enter the storm, sup
ply il with moisture, and rising high up in
its center, furnish the sail by whichuthc
great upper current WATTS it TO the cast al
ways, and not from the east, as often sup
posed. "
The air Which rises at the equator and
flows north is the great currcn referred to-.
This warm air is replaced by the warm air
OF the rorth, which flows south, cqualizing
the temperature Of the earth. A storm on
the equator moses westerly. In the south
ern and middle States northeriy,, and in
this Latitude eastcrly, always with the flow
Of the upper current. The telegraphic re-
ports Of q storm in the middle aad western
States to-day, notifies us that n the STERN
continues, we are 10 expect on to oInorrow
or the next day, the same storra. fsts.s

ing facts, 10 accuse the State OF Maine of

a Lie Nailed.

Since General Grants nomination fol
the Presidency in May, the Democracy has
devoted itself TO lying vigorously concern
ing his anteccdcnts, and has rcsorted tc
absolute forgery to help on the work oI
misrepresentation. 1t has been claimed
that in 1851 he made speech (thc intrinsic
improbabiity of this part of the story is
sufficient proof of its falsity) in which he
talked the mos. atrocious .coppcrheadism
10 the troops under his command. The
Mlegan Mich } Democrat has seen fit 10
place his reputed remarks, at the head oil
its editorial columns, as follows:
''GRASr N 1871 am Democrat; cv-
cry man in my regiment is Democrat,
and when I shall he convinced that this
war has for its object any other than what
have mentioned. or the Government de-
signs using its soldiers TO execute the pur-
poses of the aboliiionists, pledge you as a
soldier that will carry my sword .on the
other side. and cast my lot with that peo-
pie. - Col. 4. $. Grant in 1861.

was being made ofthis forgery to discour-
