We learn there was very " could"
weather up North last night. At one
point it was what Venus would call de-
cidedly d" various" The telegraph says
that
First Il ralned and then e snew
And then q friz and then Il blew
And then it calmed and then Il thew
And then II friz again anew,
and the telegraph says that this is sew,
for whereof it spoke it knew, and the
whole tale is therefore trew, which
shows the weather was very blue last
night in Minnesotew.
The fears and apprehensiOns which
the recent troubles left in the minds Of
The people Of Mississippi county, Arkan-
sas, still remain. The negroes were pUr-
sued forty miles and utterly annihilated
by the victorious corps that conquered
in the fight. We are glad to learn from
gentlemen who have arrivedin the city,
that there were no houses burned in the
county as vas reported. Passengers by
the Celest, say that a lot gof beggsriy
looking negroes on the Tennessee shore
hailed the boat as she wa coming down
and wanted to get on board 10 cross the
river TO pick cotton. All of them bad
on a gunny sack for a jacket and carried
iouble-barrelled shot guns. The Cap
tain would not take them across. Ii il
supposed they intended TO 90 Over and
aid their brethren in the fight.
During the last thirty-two years the
dnst cotton bloom occurred Nav Il, in
lS4l-2, when the total crop was :, 37S, 900
bales. The next earliest was May %, ia
1884. The total cropin that year was
2,394,O00 bales. In 1862, when the
drst bloom occurred as late rs June a,
he crop was 3,G75,O0O bales. The first
killing frost during the same period oc-
CURED October II, in l8+-45. The first
Gloom ia that season was on the tenth
4 June, and the total crop was =, l0f 600
oales. In ls7I-72 the first killing frost
occurred November Is, or three days
earlier than IN the season preceding il.
There were raised In that year 2,074,0 600
bales, against 4,347, 600 in 1S70-1. IN
1886 there was q short crop. The /
drst bloom occurred June 10, and the
Siliing frost happened October Is, at the
,ame time that it did in 1854 when
he first bloom was recorded May D, |
and the total crop 1874, 600 bales, agains,
1 ,sSS,000 bales In 1856.
Jacques Ladem, when he went 10
register himself in New Orleans, was
Ound to be one hundred and seven
years above the age required by law, he
having been born IN 1874, and cOnse-
quently passed through one hundred
and tw~enty-eight yesrs OF mundane
joys and sorrOws. Fortune does not
-eem 10 have dealt as kindly with him
as time, for despite his advanced age he
is a chimney-sweep by profession. As
he IS a -centenarian he is a success, but
ne is a fearful anomaly taken from a
moral point Of view. He smokes, chews
and drinks, sits up late and rises early.
He used tobacco in his early youth, and
then gave It up for a number Of years.
He then returned TO il, and has cOutin-
ued using It TO the present day. II did
him no harm when be chewed it, ard
did bin no good when he abandoned Il.
is necessary to him, and he at
his long life 70 his Indulgence in
It. What shall be done with such a
man? He blows both hot and cold, and
Il forbidden ground as much 10 the sd
vocates as 70 the opponents Of tobacco.
He is perfectly useless as an object to
a moral, whatever value be may
20 adorn a tale.
