The oldest city in the world,

Damascus is the oldest city in the world.
Tyre and Sidon have crumbed on the
shore Baalbec is ruin; Palmyra is
buried in a desert; the Tigris and the
Euphrates; Damascus remains what it
was before the days of Abraham cent
er of trade and travel-an island of YER
dure in the desert; "a presidential cap
ital," with martial and sacred association
extending through thirty centuries. It
was near Damascus that Saul of Tarsus
saw the light above the brightness of the
sun; the street which is called Strait, in
which it was said she prayed" still runs
through the city. The caravan comes
and goes as it did a thousand years ago;
there is still the shiek, the ass, and the
water pheel; the merchants of the Eu-
pirates and the Mediterranean still COG
cupy" these with the multitude of their
wares" The city which Mahomet sur
veyed from neighboring height,and was
afraid to enter because it was given to
man to have but one paradise, and for
his part, he was resolved not to have it
in this world" is to-day what Julian
called the "eye of the East" as it was, in
the time of Isaiah, 18th elhead Of Syria"
From Damascus came the damson, our
blue plums, and the delicious apricot IF
Portugal, called damasco; damask, our
beautiful fabric of cotton and silk, with
vines and flowers raised up on smooth,
bright ground the damask rose, intro
duced into England in the time OF Henry

1 Porter.

An effort is making for the restoration
of Fitz John Porter to rank and good
name in the army. It will be remember
ed that he was convicted of insubordin
alton at Pope's second battle of Manas-
sas, where he refused to obey the latter's
commend to attack the enemy's left at
Gainesville. There is little doubt that
this act of disobedience tnrned into de-
feat what might have proved victory,
thus causing the loss of many, lives and
much property, and prolonging the war
for many months; for there is little doubt
that had Pope won that battle decisively,
as it is probable he would if Porter had
done his duty, the war would have ended
year before it did This act of insub-
ordination was worse than the treason OF
many of the Southern generals, because
they were urged by the ties of birth and
kinship, to their course, but Porter acted
from malice toward his superior officer,
and determination to bring him to grief
because he had superseded in the com
mand of the army, Gen. Mcclellan whom
Porter admired In any other country
but this Porter would have been shot, and
he and his friends should be satisfied that
he escaped with his life. We trust that
he will not be restored, though we confess
that it would be in accordance with the
course which has generally been pursued
toward the enemies Of the government.
Porter richly deserved death, for he
caused the needless death of many of his
countrymen to crafty his personal ami
mosities-now let him be thankful that
it is as well with him as 1t is, and go his
way and permit the people to forget, if
possible, the wrong which he did the
government and the disgrace he brought
upon the American uniform. Exchange.

Il will be rocollected that Gen. Halleck
made an after dinner speech in San Fran
cisco last summer, In which he gave de-
tailed history of the contemplated re-
moval Of Maj. Gen. Thomas, pending the
celebrated battle of Nashville, and claim
ed the credit Of having saved General
Thomas by pocketing the order relieving
him. This placed Gen. Grant In an TN
favorable position, as it did also Gen. Lo.
gan who, it had been reported, had
reached Louisville with an order to re-
lieve Thomas
In this paper we print complete his
tory of the affair, including the official
orders, which now for the first time are
given to the public. A perusal of these
orders, in connection with Gen. Halleck'e
San Francisco version of the proceedings,
will show that only one person is dam
aged by the publication of the facts, and
that individual is Gen. Halleck. The
truth vindicates Grant, Thomas and Lo-
gan.
The letter and spirit of Gen. Grants
orders show very clearly that be enter
tanned . very high opinion of General
Thomas, and that nothing short Of what
he regarded as absolute necessity could
have induced him to relieve that veteran
aud splendid soldier; but he feared that
Hood would cross the Cumberland river
and march toward the Ohio, andIthat thus
the opportunity for destroying one Of the
three remaining rebel armies might be
lost. The crisis was an important one,
and Grant was anxious that decisive
blow should be struck, and struck by
Thomas, if he could be prevailed upon to
do it; but at any rate that Hood should
be promptly attacked. This feeling was
shared at Washington, as will be seen by
despatch from secretary Stanton.
An order relieving Thomas was actual
ly made out in accordance with instruc-
tons from General Grant. This is the
order which Halleck says he. carried in
his pocket, but the official dispatches
show that Grant himself countermanded
it in two hours after he had ordered it,
and this was done several days before the
battle of Ndsh0iLIc. The reason for sus-
pending the order relieving Thomas is
fully stated in the fficial dispatches.
Finally, General Logan was sent to
Nashville under verbal order. 1t was
the intention to give him the comand in
case Thomas had not moved when he
reached there. Soon thereafter General
Grant started for Nashville to take gen.
eral command, but on arriving at Wash
ington he heard of the success of General
Thomas, and of course he did not go to
Nashville Logan got no further south
than Louisville, and from that place sent
a dispatch to General Grant asking to be
ordered to join his command under Gen.
Sherman, which was done.
This publication .disposes of the idea
that Gen. Grant was influenced dy feel
ing of jealousy or personal hostility to-
ward Gen Thomas, while it causes the
character of General Thomas, who is dear
to the American people, to shine with in
creased brilliancy.

An anxious looking chap wandered into
the Mayors Office the other day and ask
ed permission to look at the book in
which the names of candidates for office
are entered. The clerk blandly asked
"What office are you running for, sir %
To which the other replied: "Wall, I
dunno; thought I'd look over and go for
any vacancy that might turn up. I'm
beastiy fond of orfs." g,4 49,.

at Cavcndish, VT, had to be removed to
the Poor House to be taken care of, having

age, and none of their children, though
wellable, being willing totake care ofthem.
The old man died of broken heart in

Remarkable Rains.

THERE are, sometimes, real showers OF
very unreal rain. 1t is stated by an old wri-
ter that in Lapland and Finmark, about a
century ago, mice of a peculiar kind were
known to fall from the sky and that such
an event was sure to be followed by q
good year for foxes. A shower of frogs
fell, near Toulouse, in 1904 A prodigious
number of black insects, abou. an inch in
length, descended in a snow storm at
Pakrof, Russia, in 1927. On one, occa-
sion, in Norway, the peasants were aston
iShed at finding shower of rats pelting
down upon their heads Showers Of fishes
have been numerous.
At Stanstead, in Kent, in 1866, pas.
turefield was found one morning covered
plentifully with fish, although there is
neither sea nor river, lake nor fish pond
near. At Ellahabad, in 1889, an English
officer saw q good smart down-pour of
fish, and soon after thousands of small
dead fish were found upon the ground.
Scotland has had many of these showers
of fish, as in Rossshire, in 1929, when
quantities of herring fry covered the
ground at Islay, in 1880, when large num-
Der of herrings were found strewn over a
field after heavy gusty rain; at Wick,
much more recently, when herrings were
found IN large quantities in a field a mile
away ifoa- The beach. IN oil these, and
numerous other cases, when liberal al
lowance has been made for exaggeration,
the remainder can be explained by we'll
understood causes.
Stray winds blowing from the sea or
river; a waterspout licking up the fish
out of the water; whirlwind sending
them hither and thither-all these are in
telligible. The rat shower in Norway
was an extraordinary one Thousands Of
rats were taking their annual excursion
from hilly region to the lowlands, when
whirlwind overlook them, whisked them
up and deposited them in field at some
distance, doubtless much to the astonish-
ment of such rats as came down alive.
The so-called showers of blood have had
their days of terror and marvel, and
have disappeared. Not that any one
ever saw such shower actually
fall, but red spots have occasionally
been seen on walls and stones, much
to the popular dismay. Swammer-
dam, the naturalist, told the people of
Hague, two centuries ago, that those red
spot were connected with some phenom-
ena of insect life, but they would not be-
lieve him, and insisted that the spots were
real blood, and were portents of evil times
to come Other naturalists have since
confirmed the scientific opinion.

Lightning Calculations.

Remembering that Prof Stafford, Of the
Dearborn Observatory, was in the habit,
in his lIsping infancy, of going through
marvellous calculations like blaze of
forked lightning through summer cloud,
we recently took occasion to consult him
as to the process. In reply TO our ques
ton, how many Figures all in a row" it
was convenient for him to multiply :" in
his head" he informed US that he had no
disinclination to handling them by skies.
We, therefore, selecting our numbers,
begged him to multiply 124, ,625 by 123, ,446.
Without seeing the numbers, but retain
ing them in his memory, as heard, the
Professor, after an interval of about two
minutes, stated the result-S9, ,452, ,05., $50.
This however, was not our object. What
we were driving at was the exact mental
process by which it was done. This, the
Professor states, is as follows:
The numbers to be multiplied being
72i625
123ii6
he takes them by threes, first perpendicu-
larly and then diagOnally, thus:
T2ixl23-S9052
6g5x1z3- 76S15
72lx446- 32294
625x4i6= 21S.150

A Potent Charm.

Twenty-three years agO-or little over
"a man, who was then young, set up in
the grocery and dry goods business in a
small village in Maine. He was known
as free-hearted, jOvial fellow; and as
the habits of those times were not such as
they are happily now, was quite as ready
as any of his neighbors in taking a glass
or two of rum. Indeed, his best friends
became somewhat alarmed for him, fear
ing that his fate was likely 10 become that
of a systematic drunkard. One day the
clergyman who officiated in the district
happened to say in the presence of this
man (who undoubtedly had superstitious
quality about him), that he had charm Of
amulet, the possession of which would
surely lead a man to competence or for
tune. The remark was noted, and great
desire was expressed by the person In
question to possess such a valuable article.
The clergyman said he had many evil
dcnces of the efficacy of the article but
certain sacrifices were demanded of Its pos
SCISSOR which he felt afraid his unfortunate
friend might promise to make, but would
forget to carry out, when the virtue of the
charm would depart and never be restor-
ed But this objection was not allowed
to stand in the way OF the receipt OF such
a valuable boon as the amulet was TO
prove, for the strongest promises OF hdel-
ity to whatever condition might be I'M
posed were given. The good pastor gave
his consent to trial, and in due time pro-
duced small package, bound in leather,
which he gave to the young tradesman,
telling him that so long as he kept 1t
about his person, and so long as he never
tasted a drop of intoxicating liquor,
wealth would begin TO come, and continue
to flow into his Golfers. The conditions
were accepted, and most faithfully OBJ
served, and the amulet worn until few
weeks ago, when its owner died, worthy,
wealthy man. After his funeral 1t was
found in one of the pockets OF his cloth
ing, and opened. The only thing in it
was circular piece of card on which
could be family discerned the written
words, which constitutes the moral of this
true tale: Temperate Habits are the Surest
Sources Of Prosperity, aud the Best Pro
m0terS Of Virtue
