Climatic Changes.

An interestingpsper has recently been pub;
Ilished by Southern writer attempting to ac-
count for the increased severity of the Gulf
States Winters. It is pretty conclusively es-
tablished. that-the cold of-former- -yearsziR the
cotton. belt and lower basin of the Mississippi
was less. rigorous than now, and the fact seems
ito clash with the known mitigation of climate
noted in Europe, Asia and 'rnany other parts Of
the world, as apparently due TO telling the
forests and clearing the soil. The writer in
question accounts for the cimatal change by
the telling of the Southern forests, affordng 2

chilled by snow on the Rocky Mountains. He
also very strikingly contrasts the effect of the
winds which reach Southern Europe from the
and and sun -scorched wastes of Africa and the
Great Desert and those which blow from the
Gulf of Mexico over the Southern part OF the
iinconsiderable influence on the climate of
Southern Europe, producing higher -tempera-
itures than those which rule on the same paral-
Ilels Of latitude IN this country while the gales
from the Gulf, impregnated with moisture, only
increases the severity of thei cold derived from
4 the northwest winds.
In the early part of this, century the average
Temperature Of New Orleans was more than
seventy degrees, and that of the winters about
iifty-six. .degffses-fgufes undoubtedly too high
for the present time. That the clearing away
of the vast forests of lofty pines from the
Southern States has opened new ways and
channels for the cold winter winds from the
plains east Of the Rocky Mountains, is highly
probable and plausible; but it is probable that
the rapid and widespread progress Jof emigra.
ton in Che Upper Valley of the Missouri and
throughout all the far Northwest has made a
comparatively smooth plain over which the
mSnntain winds may more freely and in greater
volume descend upon the States of the Gulf. Z,
Strange to say, the paper alluded to has re-
ceived singular confirmation from an inde-
pendent and very recent communication by
Professor Schiaparelli to one of the learned
societies of France i'm which are given many
curious observations OF great cyclones which
have deposited in Italy some of the sands up

Ifthe observed increase of severity in the
Southern Winters is confirmed by long expert
ence it will work very material changes in the
agricultural and sanitary. condition of the Gulf
States. BY increasing the winter rains it may
accomplish much good, supplying the soil with
stores Of Rater against the usually distinctive
droughts of Summer. -...........

The Spring obhlng Trade of Charleston.

WHO, do the snfesS and most remuneratiye busi-
ness are those who buysmalistocks, and renew
them as often as may be necessary during the
season. They avoid all excessive outlay of
capital, or damaging expansion of credit
There. is NO stale-steck or their shelves, or in
their SHOWCASES. They keep abreast of the
changes in styles, and can always offer their
customers the latest varieties to be found in
metropolitan markets. How is this done !?
Simply by making their purchases in Charles
ton, instsad ff rushing headlong to the North,
where they are little known and know little,
and where, besides, they must buy largely to
warrant. thesexpense-of their journey. Year
by year The merchants of the interior of South
Carolina. and of Georgia, and Alabama, have
become better aud better satisfied that this is
their true business policy. q 1t only remains to
convice them that Charleston is the best South
ern market for their purpose; and the course
of trade is signal evidence that this has pretty
generally been done. Last year the business
of the Charleston jobbing houses was from
fifteen to twenty-five per cent. greater than in
1871, and the representatives of the principal
firms, who canyassed this State and adjoining
States during the early winter are satisfied
that the Charleston jobbing trade, this spring,
will exceed that of any previous season since
the close of the war. This has given addition
al stimulus to the houses in the jobbing trade,
who are determined that their customers,
whether old or new, shall have no cause to
regret having come to Charleston. ~" lo -.
I'VE have personal knowledge of the fact
that all the Charleston iobbing houses have
had their buyers in New York for several weeks,
and have made ample preparations for an early
and extensive business. They have bought
larger stocks than ever before, and their friends
in the interior may countT on fpding in this
city whatever they desire. In clothing, dry
goods, fancy goods and notions, hats and caps,
shoes, and drugs and medicines, the room for
choice and selection will be abundant. And it
will be found also, that; in price and terms,
Charleston knows no superior i'll the Southern
States. .sti eii~l. aoisao> l..l -
The writer of this has seen and admired the
vigor with which the Charleston jobbers are
making ready for the spring campaign, and we
can with confidence advise the merchants of
the interior to make visit to this fair city
before encounterng the annoyances of a trip
to the North. Our word for it he will find
that he can deal more advantageously with his
own people, who understand his peculiar wants,
than with comparative strangers, who know
nothing of the requirements of the country
trade Of the South Charleston Ne,os.

THINGS A MARRIED MAN CANNOT HELP
THINKING.-That all the girls used to be in
love with him.
That all the widows are now.
That if he were widower he could marry
again whenever he chose.
That all the other fellows are fools.
That he wouldn't introduce any fellow he
knows to his sister or his daughter.
That his wife is q little jealous
That she used to be pretty girl.
That his mother could make good bread !;
that his wife cannot.
That he wouldn't trust most women.
That if he should ever speculate he would
make his fortune.
That he would enjoy country life.
That his girls will never be so silly as to
marry.
That his mother-in-law may be fine old
lady, but
That smoking never hurt man yet.
That with little management the servants
would always do well, and never give warning.
That his shirt buttons are grossly neglected.
That he is going to make his fortune some
day.
That he despises old bachelors.
