Good Halter.

Talking of hatcrs, however, the bitterest
ftat ever occupied n seat in the Senate was
the late William =. Fessenden.
Mr. FcsSeDden's pet ayersions were Sum-
per and Wade. He could, perhaps, have
given no better reason for his feetingi i'm either
case than the metrica! one assigned for the
dislike OF DR.. Fell, but he was very we'll con-
WINGED In his own mind that he hated the
Massachusetts, and the Ohio Senator, and he
never failed to profit by tho opportunities
for manifesting his dislike. 1t used to gush
out on all proper aud improper occasions,
and often he adopted -expletives to give
It special emphasis. / remember that during
tho debate on the reconstruction bill, Sum-
ner came into the Senate ono morning,
just before the hour for assembling, with
a portfolio under his arm, which it
was we'll understood contained n pre-
pared speech. just as lie entered the
floor, Fesscnden saw him frt IN his scat, and
exclaimed to a friend to whom no was talk
ing, "Look at that Id fool, coming In to
debate with his writing-desk!" Sumner, in
%thGcourso Of the day, delivered his prepared
address, and Fesscndcn replied to it with
out a moments preparation, and in 4 speech
characterized by the slIarpest irony and the
kcenest sarcasm ever uttered In the Senate.
As IN extsmporaneo,Is debater, 1t is safe to
say that Fessenden never had an equal on the
floor of the Senate. Everybody was afraid
of his invective. even if they could meet his
argument. When he was the least bit
worsted he would lose his temper, and, while
maintaining the outward semblance Of digni-
tied debate, would indulge in a style Of per-
s1nai comment which always came within a
hli's breadth Of invoking tho Intervention
of the Chair.
n story is told of Fessenden which so well
illustrates bis irlscible temper that few who
knew him will distelieve il. / heard it not
long since from one who was an eyewitness
of the scene it relates. Dir. Fosscndcn, rs Is
perhaps known, was the natural son Of O dis
tinguisiIed New England lawyer, from whom
he inherited both temper and talent. Father
and son were at one time engaged on OPP
posing aides Of m important law case. The
young man was then addicted to lndulgcnceS,
not uncommon then as now with those of his
age and class that is to say, he was Inclined
to he what il called fast. In the cross firing
of the suit the father made sOmo reference 10
this fact, though In what anu and in what
words my Informant did not soy. But it
was sufficient to sting young FcsSenden to
the quick, and he was not the inan to tct
even his father get the better Of him in such a
matter. So, when his turn came for reply he
determined to square accounts with the old
gentleman, and looking and pointing directly
at him, he said: What you arralgn my
moral character. when the proof of your
early guilt stands before you in this court,
to.day!" I doubt if a parallel to this can
be found In history /; and yet, az 1 have said,
il has the stamp of William =. Fessenden
upon every syllable to such an extent that
men who knew tho Senator will not doubt

CIVILIZATION AND CLIHATB.-And now it is
urged, aud attempts are made to prove, that
civilization makes a climate to suit Itself,
wherever it goes. 1t may pitch It's tents or
build its cities upon desert Wastes, that have
become barren from want Of rain, and 90.
pious rains will soon follow and grass will
grow, and the birds that love Tho hal'ita-
tons of mal come and sing songs in the trees
that will shoot up; and, in fact, nature will
soon fit herself for the new condition and
second the efforts of civilization to develop
her wealth and beauty. This il Il very fine
theory, and there may be some truth in it.
1t ID said that the great plains of the West
are putting on q new dress and u new face =;
that in the summer Of 1871 there was Il
greater rainfall than I'm previous years, re-
sulting in moro grass and il more luxurllnt
vegetation generally. AS these changes have
occurred In q region which frum its arldity
has been called the Great American desert,
scientific people with busy brains are putting
in their theories to account for them.
One theory IL that. belts of iron running
through these plains, together with the
breaking of ground for road-bedS, induce Il
humid atmosphere, soon followed by show
ers. Another suggestion Is that the frequent
passage of locomotives cjecting volumes OF
steam and smoke are followed by eyapora-
ton and condemnation, which make rain. 1t
Is further claimed by some scientists hat the
presence Of living things In any consldera-
BILE number produces marked atmospheric
effects. One curious fact IL that vast herds
of buffalo are often drenched with showers
which extend but q little distance beyond
their feeding grounds.
Upon these theories it would seem that life
carries with it tho means Of lifo whenever is
force is strong enough to scale the barriers OF
nature; that civilization takes its clouds ana
storms with it, and that man has only to pltch
ON q place OF abode, and nature will respond
to his necessities aud minister TO her crea-
lures comforts. Civilization, therefore, has
not only a moral, but a physical atmosphere,
and its demands appearto compel the climate
conditions for its development-that IS, If I'll
