VERY COLD WEATHER.

Lieutenant Payer, the well-known explor-
er of the Arctic regions, lately delivered, be-
fore the Geographical Society of Vienna, a
lecture which is very refreshing reading down
here with the thermometer high up in the
nineties.
On the 14th of March, 1874, Lieutenant
Payer and his companions were at Francis
Joseph's Land, the thermometer exhibiting
a temperature of 1872 degrees below
the zsro of Fahrenheit's SCALE
They were obliged to pour rum into their
mouths for if their lips had touched the rim
of their metal cups the same effect would
have been produced as if they had touched
red-hot metal; the rum itself had lost its
strength and had acquired the thickness of
oil. It was impossible to smoke a cigar or a
short pipe. the saliva in the mouth being at
once formed into ice.
Mr.. Payer asserts that such an int nse cold
paralyzes the will, and that man subjected
to it feels all the symptoms of drunkenness
his movements becoming irregular, his speech
very thick and his mind wandering. Another
effect OF the cold, resulting from the evapo-
ration of moisture from the body, is most
tormenting thirst. Snow should be avoided
then, as it cre,tes Inflammation of the throat
the palate and the tongue, and it then tastes
like molten metal. Meat had to be chopped
with axes, and mercury became as hard as
IRON The senses of taste and smell were con-
siderably weakened, and the eyelids when
closed became frozen together. If they
stopped walking their feet became totally
numbed.
Their only effectual protection was to wrap
themselves thoroughly in warm clothing that
the evaporation from the body might not be
condensed, in which case it would fall at once
in the shape of spikelets of ice.
There, doubtless, is some particular fasci-
nation which induces enterprising travellers
to visit the Arctic regions, but when we read
such accounts as that of Lieut. Payer, we feel
quite reconciied to our lot, albeit we are
writing with the thermometer at ninety-four
degrees in the shade.

A CHRONIC NUISANCE.

Il is difficult in this iberty-loving country
to induce anybody to believe that there can
be too much liberty, but when characterless
scamp and notorious Jail bird and swindler
like the man W. L. Thompson can 60 into
eourt and cause the arrest of editors upon his
unsupported allegation that they have accom-
plished the moral impossibility of ibelling
him by the mere publication by them Of
facts set forth in an official document, it
almost looks as if liberty had degenerated
into license.
It was bad enough and disgraceful enough
that this shyster should, by any species OF
political hocus pocus, have succeeded IN get
ting into an Office, and it is by no means
surprising that, being in, he should proceed
to make of himself what Dogberry desir d
himself to be written down. We submit
that the community has had something too
much ofthis fellow, and that he has degene-
rated into chronic nuisance, which will re-
quire very radical treatment to cure. We
submit that it is about time that the lasso of
the law be flung over Thompson, and that he
be brought to q realization of the fact that
there is such thing as exhausting the pa
thence of the public.
The suggestion OF the City Attorney that
this Algiers Justice, Shallow, be impeached,
is an eminently proper one, and should be
acted upon at once, and the Grand Jury will
find but little difficulty in ascertaining facts
that will throw calcium light upon the
true character of Thompson, which may
possibly result in his being Of some service to
the State. host of witnesses are ready to
rise up and squelch Thompson, and the only
trouble that may be anticipated is to tell pre-
cisely where to communicable list of his
offenses threatening to stretch out to the
crack of doom.

THE CROPS.

The reports Of the condition of the crops,
from all parts Of the country, continue to be
highly favorable, and planters feel greatly en-
couraged. Not only the cotton, corn and
cane of the Southern States promise very
large yield, but there are cheering accounts
of extensive crops of grain and grass in the
Western States, and of tobacco in Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Virgins.
Notwithstanding the reports of great raw
ages of insects in some OF the Western States,
it is believed that they are exaggerated and
that the serious depredations of the grass
hoppers are confined to only eight counties in
Missouri, and as many more in each of the
States of Kansas, Nebraska and Illinois
Everywhere else the young crops are boosted
of as promising 80 large yield that the chief
apprehension with farmers is that they may
not be able to secure hands enough to save it.
This year there is greatly increased acre.
age of wheat in the Southern States. OF the
prospects of this crop the Memphis Appeal
says, that while the yield will not be so large
as it would have been had the fall sowing
been deeper, yet it will be much greater than
formerly, because Of improved illage and
more general use of fertilizers. Many coun-
ties in Tennessee, it is said, viii produce Is
to 80 bushels per acre, while formerly only
10 to Is bushels were grown; yet there are
other counties, where these conditions were
not regarded, that will not yield more than
eight to ten bushels. However this may be
in some sections, all accounts agree that the
wheat crop in the country around Memphis
in Arkansas, Mississippi, North Aabsmaland
West Tennessee very fine. There has,
within few days, been some appearance of
rust, but it has been upon the blade and not
the stalk, and has done very little damage.

DRAWING UPON TIE FUTURE.

New Orleans suffers now from the effects Of q
wrong idea as to the right of one generation
to bind succeeding generation for the pay
ment of debt The right of father to bur
den his property with q mortgage debt which
he knows he cannot pay during his own life
time, in order to obtain the means Of making
needful repairs and judicious Improvements,
ought pt to be questioned by his heirs.
The pledge was for their benefit and the out
lay of the money obtained is compensated by
the increased value and productiveness OF the
property. But if the father mortgages his
estate to get the means Of silly OF vicious in
diligence, if he leaves to his heirs the task OF
paying the penalty of his extravaganza, there
is just cause for complaint.
If those in authority who have the power
to levy taxes and to contract debts were al
ways wise and trustworthy they might, with
safety, be allowed to borrow means for
making useful public works and repairs. An
expenditure of moderate sum, borrowed
on easy terms, might enable City Council
to open streets, build wharves, or ex-
cavate canals, greatly to the advantage
Of the business Of the city and much
enhancing the value of property.
But such qualities of wisdom and fidelity are
by no means uniformly found among those
who are elected to municipal stations. There
is really no safety for the people when the
power to contract unlimited debt is given to
irresponsible men.
In view of the we'll known disposition to
expend carelessly, or without due regard to
consequences, money that has been bor-
rowed, even when the borrower promises and
expects to repay it in q few months, and of
the same disposition to extravaganza in
greater degree where the term Of payment is
so long as to reach beyond the borrowers
lifetime, the contraction of debt by
city government ought to be pro-
hibited by the constitution of the State.
There is no loss or inconvenience that can
arise from the absence Of the power to Dor
row that can in any way compare with the
damage which city feels from large pub
lie debt, hesdlessly contracted, and for which
no public improvement can be shown.
Sagacious capitalists will not invest in
property liable to be saddled with heavy
interest tax for city debts which irresponsi-
BILE Councilmen may contract at will. Pos
terity, when it comes into possession, will
have good Gauss to complain when it inherits
property shingled and thatched with mort
cages and debts.
Those who may possess the property within
the limits of this city fifty years hence,
though honest and honorable as the genera
ton which preceded them, will be inclined
to question the right of their ancestors to
burden their property with a debt larger than
it can bear. New Orleans, in 1868, had no
right to impose o debt which the citizens in
1920 must toll to pay, although contracted
without their consent.
Taxing those not represented is anti-repub-
lican and tyrannical Posterity is never re-
presented when debt is piled up for il to
nav,

HYDROsTATIO PRESSURE.

If o cubical box with sides one hundred
inches square be filed with water, and per.
pendicular tube one inch square and five
hundred inches in height be inserted in the
top and likewise filed with water, the pres
sure on the square inch OF surface at the
lower orifce of the tube will, of course, be
equal to the weight of five hundred cubic
known law Of hydrostatics pressure Of the
same force is exerted upon every square inch
of the interior surface, upward, lateral or
vertical, so that the weight of the column in
the perpendicular tube will be felt simultane-
ously by every square inch of interior sur
face, which is sixty thousand inches, or be
multiplied sixty thousand times, producing
an aggregate pressure equal to the weight Of
thirty millions of cubic inches of water. The
same interior pressure will be produced by
any force applied at the lower end Of the tube
equal to the force Of the pressure Of the five
hundred cubic inches in the tube, or less than
one-third part of the weight Of a cubic foot Of
water. By means of lever that pressure
could be easily exerted by the hand of q
child.
This stupendous multiplication of the
pressure Of fluids is utilized in the hydraulic
press, BY means Of which an initial pressure
Of q few pounds is so multiplied as to lift
hundreds of tons. The same principle may
be applied to the production Of motive force
for machinery, the problem for the inventor
being the conversion of the power into con-
tinuous motion. There is no reason why the
same principle of multiplication of power
may not be employed by means of gases or
the air. There can be no limit to the extent
of power which may be brought out unde.
this principle, Is long as materials can be
found strong enough to retain and convey it
The invention Of Mr.. Kelley, now much
spoken of in scientific circles. may have put
10 use this titanic power of multiplied pres.
sure.
