For the past week, to use n musical
phrase, we have had pot p0Urri in
the way of weather. Sand storms of
the drouth, deluges of rain, sultry
summer, mellow sunshine of spring,
keen, bitter blasts of winter, binding
dust, midnight heavens aflame
with sheeted fire, and believing
thunder of tropical tempests-have
been the weather record of the past
week in this vicinity. Saturday was a
day of sunshine, warmth and promise
to the farmer. Sunday was marked by
the feverish unrest, the gusty winds
and clouded skies that forerun the
summer storm. The air was close, sui
try and oppressive, and the languor of
June pervaded our March atmosphere.
The churches had unusually full at
tendance, and the afternoon was such
as to make the audiences at the after
noon singing exercises quite large
The young gentlemen of the city man
ifestCd their usual interest in sacred
music as spectators and listeners. To-
ward midnight the Gfimmering skies
indicated thc-asgzo9ching rain storm
that fell like a hood, and was remark
ed the next day as the heaviest fall OF
water of the season. The storm was
accompanied by furious winds, and
seems, IRON the dispatches, to have
prevailed in different localities North
and South OF us Monday was winter
ish, and wild with the buster of equi
noclial winds. Tuesday was cold and
dry, and clouds of dust went by like
sand storms in the desert, and if the
old adage be true, "that a peck o.
March dust is worth its weight il
gold" there is world Of hope thi.
year for the scorched lands of 1874, in
this vicinity. Wednesday was nor,
nal spring day, and thus We close the
meteorological chronicle, that we have
been led to extend TO this length, sole
ly on account of the panorama OF the
seasons that has been crowded into {

During the warm days of the past
week, we called at G. II. Ramsey &
Cos, headquarters for the ice trade
during the summer season, to see if
Green could give US cool drink from
the renowned dipper, used by him and
his customers last summer. After a
confused search by Dan, the porter, the
drinking vessel was brought up from
the cellar, where it had been used by
Dan in watering the veteran coon, of
which 50 much was said last summer.
We were shocked TO see the elegant
dipper, 50 beautifully engraved by our
ingenious neighbor Kelly, thus neg
lected and abandoned to such base
uses. Blu. our mercurial friend Ram
sey rejoiccs in the anticipation of pro-
curing another, and far better one,
for the use of his customers for the
coming season, when men will sweat
and fret, and fume and fan under
scorching skies. Books for subscrip-
ton to the New Dipper have been open
ed At Z. II. Kelly's Jewelry store, and
at the Grocery store of J. c. smith
DIR. w. B. Spencer has been duly ap-
pointed grand street canvassers,
and from the interest taken by his
friends, Kelly and Spencer, in this
matter last season, Ramsey has no
fears of not raising the amount requi-
site to procure the New Dipper in due
time. The time and place for the an
nual presentation will be made known
after consultation with Messrs. X.

that the finder might be the loser,
which led to an investigation ofhis vest

On Wednesday night last there was
a rousing time at one of the colored
churches of this city. The wonderful
''hand" mentioned elsewhere, was the
subject During the day it had been
on exhibition at one of the jewelry
stores of the city, where it was looked
at and examined by many people, both
white and black. The proprietor of
the establishment varied the story as
re ated generally, 10y saying that the
hand grew over The grave Of one of the
Ku-Klux, and that II had been deytl-
oped since the passage Of the Civil
Rights Bill. This was enough for the
Imagination OF tbs colored people, and
the result was a rumpus at the church,
a good deal IiyeIier than anything that
has l,een known since the memorial
services over Charles Sumner.

borers have neither bread nor meat to
sustain them in raising another crop,
and the land owners have neither mon

These things are important 10 Us,
your constituents, but don't seem 10
attract much notice at Nashville. The
greatest concern there seems to be how
to please the Bondholders. Those a
way from Nashville, whose employ
ment requires them to look to mother
earth for support, don't understand
why the payment of interest to the
day is more important than bread and
meat to enable starving labOrors to
raise another crop, and thereby get the
State in condition to pay interest
This blindness of your constituents is
perhaps because they do not have the
benefit of the disinterested arguments
of BOndholders from the Hobbies and
galleries as to the Importance of saving
the credit of the State. Our late Gov
ernor was a great advocate of the
Bohdholders, and deserves well at their
hands, for he aided them and damaged
himself What influence the present
Governor will exercise in their behalf
remains to be seen. Andrew Johnson
thought the bread and meat of the Ia
boring masses should be preferred to
BondhOlder's coupons, and this aided
him to the United States Senate. So
that I recommend it as entirely safe to
consult your constituents about this
matter. Certificates from Bondhold-
ers that you did all they wanted, may
not give entire satisfaction at home
