IT is noted, says the Macon (Ga) Tel
egraph, that tornadoes, cyclones, hurri-
canes, earthquakes, waterspouts, hail
storms, tremendous rains and floods,
loud thunder, fearful lightning, blight
ing drouths, scorching heats and. bitter
colds, afflict the earth to an unusual de
gree. Nature sympathizes with the
temper of man, which is fierce, belliger-
ent and cruel. The milk of human
kindness has run dry. sThe world ceases
to run on the principle of sunshine and
attraction, and is driven onward by the
fierce energy of mutually repellant and
hostile forces

IT is stated that shortly after the
death of ex-President Buchanan his
friends secured the services of the Hon.
W. B, Reed to prepare life of the de-
ceased statesman. Mr.. Reed had not
gone far when bad health compelled him
to relinquish the task, and it is stated
that James C. yelling, Of Annapolis,
has undertaken the work, for which he
will receive $4,000. Prof yelling is best
known in the literary world as the able
associate Of Messrs Gales and Seaton
during the later years of the National
Intelligencer, where he won a reputation
quite unique for scholarly and forcible
articles. He is a man of fine literary
accomplishments.

A VERY strong movement, endorsed by

A VERY strong movement, endorsed by
the Republican press, is being made in
Texas for the division of that State into the
number of commonwealth its immense
size and moderate population would enti-
tie it to. The Houston Union endorses
plan of division as follows: "First to
make three States at present--one west OF
the Colorado, one between the Colorado
and Trinity, and one east of the Colorado ;
second, we propose to cut off northwestern
Texas by line from the mouth Of the Big
Wichita on Red river to the mouth of the
Rio Pecos on the Rio Grapde, thus leaving
territory sufficient for two large States
when it has the requisite population. This
would at once provide for five States, and
would settle the division question forever
Texas has land enough for an empire, if it'
population is only slightly in excess o
that of very large city. With the Texa
Pacific railroad and system of latera
roads, it has great future before it-to'
great, indeed, for one State.
