Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1875-02-18

The Methodist Church obtained its
great power in this country through its
itinerant system. and some of its preach
ers fear that the evasions of the system
will make the Church weaker. The
matter was discussed at a meeting of
ministers Of that Church in New York,
on the Sth instant The Rev. c. NJ.
Eggleston is reported as complaining
that:
While every minister who enters an
annual conference agrees to submit his
appointments to the constituted author
ities-the Bishop and the presiding eld-
ers-and to do nothing himself to inter
fere with their right to send him
wherever they please, yet. soon after
their admission, some ministers do fsh
around and use their best epdeavors to
obtain the chief appointments in the
conference by negotiating with church
committees. This is not only violation
Of the common compact into which they
all enter, but is also an injury to those
ministers whose conscientious convio-
tons will not permit them thus to hunt
for soft places and promotion. There is
class Of ministers who, having good
appointments, are clamoring for re-
moval of the three years limitation alto
gether, and there is a tendency in other
also toward INDEPENDENCE and
cougresationalism.

LENT began this year on Wednesday
Feb. 10th, which is much earlier than it
has done since 1869. This will bring
the high festival of Easter on the 2Sth
of March, which is within six days of
the earliest period upon which it can
ever possibly occur. On some years
Easter falls as late as the 25th of April.
Some years there are as many as nine
Sundays between Epiphany and Ash
Wednesday, but this year there are
only five Sundays intervening between
the Jubilee of Epiphany and the sol
emn feast of Lent.

A singular phenomenon is observable
in the Great Salt Lake. 1t is frozen
over SO that teams can drive out for
miles. Last winter the weather for weeks
was ten to fifteen degrees colder than at
any time this winter, yet no ice formed
ut all. In fact we believe the lake has
never frozen before. yet the present has
been the mildest winter experienced here
for years-COrinne Mail.

GENERAL ITEMS.
The Mary Miller, Capt. Lee Crane,
had fair trip tor Cincinnati.
There was pretty heavy fog, yester-
day morning, which detained all boats.
The City Of Quincy and Fontenel
were well laden FOX New Orleans and way
points.
There is splendid opening for a
right lively iirst-class snag-boat between
this port and st. Louis just now. Snags
are pol,ing their noses out liz every bend,
and are getting very troublesome.
The rivers are getting very rough to
st. Louis and Evansville, and boats get
ont with the greatest difficulty. Five
feet six inches is reported to st. Louis
and three and onc-half feet to Evans
vile.
The great Mary Bell came into port
yesterday afternoon. and was greeted by
a large concourse of people, who ,hronged
on board TO inspect her. She had one
hundred people on board. She does not
look the unwicldy boat we supposed she
would from her great size, but
presents really beautiful appearance
on the water. Her tall chimneys. of gal
yanized iron, are very pretty. and add to
her appearance. She is fearfully high
between decks, and looks as though she
could carry every bale of cotton claimed
for her. Her cabin is roomy and very
comfortable. ana on each side between
the state-rooms and warehouses are
roomy promcnades that will be found
very peasant and agreeable by her pas
sengers.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF RAIN.-To understand
the philosophy of this beautiful and often
sublime phenomenon, 80 often witnessed and
so very essential to the existence of plants and
animals, few facts derived from observation
and long train Of experiments, must be re-
membered:
/. Were the atmosphere here, everywhere,
and at all times, of a uniform temperature, we
should never have rain, hail or snow. The
water absorbed by it in evaporation from the
sea and the earth's surface, would descend in
an imperceptible yapor, or cease to be absorbed
by the air when it was once fully saturated.
2. The absorbing power of the atmosphere,
and consequently its capacity to retain humid
ity, is approximately greater in warm than in
cold air. The air near the surface of the earth
is warmer than it is in the region of the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the earth the colder
do we find the atmosphere; hence, the perpet-
ual snow on very high mountains in the hottest
climate.
Now, when from continued evaporation the
air is highly saturated with vapor, though it be
invisible and the sky cloudless, if its tempera-
ture is suddenly reduced by cold currents de-
scending from above, or rushing from higher
to lower latitude, its capacity to retain mois-
ture is diminished-clouds are formed, and
rain is the result. 1t condenses, cools, and like
o sponge filled with water and compressed,
pours out the water which its diminished Ca
pacity cannot hold.
