General Polignac, who served with so
much distinction on the Southern side in
the American war, is living quietly in
Paris, pursuing the scientific studies for
which he is eminent Last summer he
read before the Scientific Society Of
London paper that was much applaud
ed, upon the best system OF instruction
in the higher branches of mathematics.
He is at this time much interested in
investigating the "origin and peculiari-
ties of the cotton worm" with view to
preventing its ravages, and az he is in
consultation with the most learned natu-
ralists of the French Academy and the
Garden Of Plants, he is anxious for

The Droush, I'm East tennessee.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald. August
18th.
Not a bncketfull Of water has fallen
within the environs Of Rockville, for
three weeks. The garden eiuf is pretty
well burned up. The corn hangs with
dropping head, slunted and forlorn. The
tomatoes are without moisture. Potatoes
are ridiculously small aud unpalaisble.
Even the melons seem charish Of their
wster. The ducks quack com plAinin ely
and increasingly. The joviAl martins
have ell left for quarters where they can
obtain better nourishmsnt The roads
and alleys are thick With dasL The
water in the cisterna is low and the creeks
have no power TO turn the mill wheels.
The Holsion lazily FLASHES over the bare
rocks which peep upward from lie bed.
Each day the sun rises uncloaded. and
and every evening sets in fiery briiiiancy.
Mother Earth 10 psrched, and toiIins
humanity looks upward and sighs in vain
for refreshing shower.
