The praying women of Ohio have met
with rebuff in Hillsboro', in that state,
in this wise: The keeper of large and
costly drug store, who had never sold
liquors to be drunk upon the premises, or
to minors or drunkards, was visited by the
ladies, and ,first-ciass praYer-meeting
held in front Of his door, upon the pave
ment. 1t interfered with his legitimate
business, and he determined to put stop
to it by suing out an injunction. Judge
Stafford granted it, and his decision says,
quite definitely
"When such worship is made the pre-
text of breaking up a mans lawful trade ;
of interfering with the quiet and peaceful
enjoyment Of his own property (; Of bring
ing him into public ridicule and disgrace !;
of defaming his calling and character, and
this without intermission for six consecu-
tive weeks in the storms and colds of win
ter, creating heartburnings among neigh
bors, defamation of private character, and
unsettled state Of society--that, sir, is a

CIIMATEOF WASHINGTON.

The mild climate of Washington is the
marvel Of many Northern men, who have
not noted the influence Of the Chesapeake
and the variable confguration of the coun-
try around us upon the weather. Lorin
Blodget estimates the proportion Of "fair
and fine weather" in Maryland as one.third
to one-half greater than in the latitude OF
New York The rain fall of tidal Mary
land is very large, 4G inches, and greatest
in March and June, but our rains are con-
spicuous for their Suick, heavy single falls,
and do not satu,ate and cloud the
atmosphere, but make frequent
floods. At Annapolis as high as four
teen and half inches of rain have been
recorded in single month, while the high
est known in Washington in the whole
spring season. taking the average for eight
years, was below twelve inches, and our
rain fall is only about 46.GG in year
while at Fort Washington, few miles be.
low us, it is 1892, and at Annapolis SO. 3D.
The greatest heats recorded in Maryland
are in the narrow valley Of Fort Washing
ton, 1913 degrees and 105 degrees. The
mean temperature Of Washington IN spring
is about "a, in summer "a, in autumn 81
in winter So; for the year 81. Here, then
is the climate nearest perpetual spring.

THE board of Indian commissioners
have been in session at Washington for
several days, all the members being pres
ent except Mr.. Stuart, of Philadelphia,
who is detained by illness. The meeting
was called to consider the present aspect
of Indian affairs, and especially the ques-
ton of the proposed legislation looking to
the opening of the Indian territory and
the transfer of the Indian bureau to the
War department, as well as some details
of Indian management Secretary De-
lano has been in consultation with
the commissioner, and agreed with
them that the present policy of treat
ing the Indians should be persevered in.
The commissioners are of the opinion that
any legislation. either directly or indirectly,
looking to the opening of the Indian terri
tory would be violation Of our solemn
treaty obligations, and would be national
dishoncr, meritng the scorn of the civil
lied world, and that the passage of any
law for the organization of territorial
government not acceptable to the civilized
tribes, and which would indirectly open
the country TO the ingress Of whites,
would. in the opinion of the board, be such
an infraclion of our obligation. fa@

TT is gratifying to note the steady in
crease in cotton manufacturing throughout
the South. Since the close of the war
cotton mills have been erected at New Or
leans, Mobile, Savannah, Huntsville, Au-
gusta, and elsewhere in the interior along
the railroads. and are all represented as
being in fourishing condition. The an
nual consumption of cotton at the South
has grown during the past five years from
comparatively nothing to nearly half mill
lion bales, and if the same wise policy of
exempting from taxation this important
branch of industry, which many of the
Southern states have adopted, is continued,
that section Of our common country will be
the greatest cotton manufacturing, as it is
the greatest cotton.growing, district in the

THAT the amount of money in circula-
ton is almost entirely Independent of the
amount of business done in country, can
be seen by comparison between the cur
rency and foreign commerce Of various
nations. The United States, for instance,
has just about a dollar of money for every
dollar of exports and imports. France
settles its commercial dealings at rate of
one dollar and a quarter Of foreign business
with one dollar of currency. Great Britain
settles four dollars of exports and imports
with one dollar of actual money.
