LOUISVILLE, February 9.-The FIRST eel.

place to-day. II was grand success In
all respects. The procession was mag.
niGcent scene Of mirth, friyolity buiIoon'

Cheaper Rates for TeIegraphlc
Dispatches,

War has commenced between the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
the Atlantic & Pacific line, and at last
there is prospect for cheaper dispatches.
The charges Of the Western Union Com
pany have been extOrtionately high be-
tween many principal points throughout
the country ever since the Pacific & At
lantiC Company was bought out and alb.
sOrbed year or SO ago, and the public
will therefore be glad to sec the only re.
naming rival Of the Western Union
Company compelling ii to reduce the
present card. Although the A, & P, line
Is a weak concern in comparison with
the Western Union Company, yet II is
sufficiently powerful to initiate vigorous
competition between New York, Phila-
deIphia, Baltimore, Washington, and
other leading centres, and now that re.
duction has been made between these
points it is quite likely that a general
reduction will follow throughout tho
country. The public demand a more
wholesome competition in the tele-
graphic business, The liberal usO Of the
wires is rapidly increasing commercial
necessity, When messages could bo sent
from Wheeling to New York for thirty
cents for ten words, as was the case when
we had two lines to the East, our business
men could afford to Use the rival lines
freely and frequently, especially in the
way Of night dispatches, which were sent
for hali.priCo, When, however, these
cheap rates were more than doubled, W
soon rs competition ceased, the business
men Of this, as Of other communities, felt
that very heavy and oppressive tax had
suddenly been imposed upon them
tax sufficient almost to break down the
prevalent disposition that had grown up
to substitute night messages for CORES.

The Great Polar Wave.

The attention not only Of professional
moteorologists but Of every ordinary, un-
scientific observer Of the weather has been
forcibly directed during the paSt few
days to the remarkable condition Of the
atmosphere under the influence Of the
great Polar wave. Originating among
tic mountains Of Montana, this ocean OF
frigid air has swept over the country
with amazing velocity, expanding and
intensifying ns It's progress became more
and more unobattucted, until 1t hus
poured its frosty breath down the valleys
and rivers Of Tennessee and Virginia,
The singular lack Of uniformity in the
approach and continuance Of these I'm.
welcome visitors appears worthy OF note.
Whence do they come, and why do they
cease1 1Sit possible the climate Of this lat.
itude is every year becoming more and
more rigorous, and that in a few genera.
ttons inhabitantsof the temperate zone
will find II necessary, like the EsquimNux
Of Labrador, to inttcnch themselves in
houses and suspend all ordinary outdoor
occupations. II such is the fact to what
cause must II be attribatodS Tho most
rational solution Is to be found In the
theory that tho poles Of the earth are rap.
idly increasing In their intensity Of cold,
and that the natural heat Of the earth is
gradually diminishing in proportion to
the distance from the equator. An addi-
tiOnal evidence in support Of this theory
Ia found In The existence Of hundreds Of
extinct volcanoes scattered throughout
The earth, while those shat continue ac-
tive in the discharge Of their subteranean
fires number less than half score. 1t
may be tton that ages hence the maghi-
fcent country we nov inhabit will become
united as a dwelling place for man, but
ptovident nature will supply the loss and
great continents may fill the space now
occupied by the bonndteSs ocean gifdling
the equatorial zone.
