FoR THE TINES.

F0R THE TINES
The Barometer.
It is impossible for any person, learned
or unlearned to live through the year, or
even through the month or day, without
noticing the influence which the changing
positions of the heavenly bodies have upon
his own comforts, ana upon the state of
all things around him. This is the book
Of wonder, which, at the first dawning of
reason, both individuals and nations
attempt to read. 1t is always open; no
perception is so dull as not to be able to
trace its greater lines. But although the
community at large are able to discern
these phenomena, yet few understand
them, through not having the patience to
register the result of their observation, by
which alone true theory could be
formed.
Those whe have never studied the
weather as science, for the most part
dependant upon Planeto'y confguration,
and are only accustomed to note its cham
ges by popular signs, may have noticed
the forms Of expression l ust in this
correspondence, which will possibly appear
strange. and, without further inquiry,
unintelligible. But it must be remembered
that in no department of nature can
knowledge be obtained without some
preliminary trouble; shall, tn refore,
vary my purely astrologicals with ether
more obvious Al natural prognostics.-
In many parts of Europe, the use of the
Barometer is pretty well known, and is, l
believe, the most popular instrument to be
met with, which, although often imper-
fectly constructed, will, nevertheless,
tolerably well answer the purpose Of fore
telling the weather, and shall with as
much clearness as l possibly can, explain
its uses. ! must here, however, observe,
that people in gen, ,ral, pay too much at
tention to the words fair, rain, stormy,
&C., written upon the scale; it being a
common error to imagine, that as long as
the mercu,y Tor the index) points to those
expressions, the weather will be fair or
foul in accordance--a little observation
will soon correct this anomaly.
The most important fact with reference
to the prognostics made by this instrument
| is to observe whether the Mercury is in
the act Of rising or talling;a as, if it ascends,
although the index point to the word
"rain," it is much surer indication Of
fine weather, than when the metal do
scends, and the instrument points to
fair" The point may generally be
ascertained by gently tapping the instra-
ment, which instantly shows its upward
or downward tendency, - it frees the
mercury from its adhesion to the glass.
Particular attention should also be
directed to the scale, with which tho level

REMARKS OF TIE LATE HON. L.
POWELL.
In the [, 3. senate, on the ResOln-
items Relating to Gen. Grants Or
der Expecting the Jews from the
Department Of the Tennessee.

Mr.. Powell-Mr. President, the day after
the resolution wac introduced, | understood
from Gen. Hallock that the matter had been
laid before the President and that the order
had been promptly revoked. The conduct
of the President and of the commeDder-in-
chief in thus promptly countermanding such
an outrageous, uucOnsttut Dnal and inhu-
man order meets with my hearty approval.
/ commend them for ii.
The order having been countgrmanded,
desire 70 move tina. the last clause Of the
resolution be stricken out, ana after that is
stricken out, desire to have the action of
the senate upon the resolution. Gentleman
may say, the order having been revoked, it
is unnecessary that this body should take
any action upon it. That seems to be the
intimation Of the gentleman from New
Hampshire. l look upon the matter other,

Of the city of Psducah, Kyg some thirty
gentlemen in number, were driven from
their homes and their business BY virtue OF
this order of Gen. Grant, only having the
short notice of tour and twenty hours; that
