STORMY MARCH, 1S75.-The opening
of March, 1875, will long be remembered
for severe and wide spread storms of
snow and rains in the section of the
Middle States and those touching the
great Lakes. While we are buried up
in the snow storm which prevailed for
several days and extended over the State
and in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin, the streams tributary to the
Mississippi, running back into Tennessee
and Kentucky, are overhowed by heavy
rains and melting snow. Distress is re-
ported in many places, particularly from
the region of the swollen streams, the rise
which probably havebeen more sudden
and more disastrous than those known
for many years, not excepting the great
floods of the spring of 1867. The por-
tions of the Chattanooga submerged, the
Union Depot and the business portions
of Market street, must have required a
rise in the Tennessee of nearly 40 feet,
and our recollection is that even that
height of water would not reach the
Railroad track at the base of Lookout
Mountain, reported as swept away. Ac-
cording to this, the old Notifications,
Fort Negley, and others further out in
the valley, must have been submerged
nearly over the old breastworks. Along
the valley of the Tennessee the damage
will be so great that it is not surprising
if actual suffering eusue. From the snow
storm but little trouble has been exper-
fenced, except from detention to travel.

A Doc STORY. - Here is true and
curious dog story, says Paris cores
pondent. The other evening a reporter
for the Cautious was goiug home late at
night in the midst of most horrible
weather, when he overlook drunken
man trying to climb the Rue de Rome.
He was followed by a mongrel eur, who
kept at his heels and seemed to stagger
like his master. The drunken man stop
ped, and the dog began to bite at his
legs. ''Let me alone, will yon" cried the
drunkard. 81 am going on, after a rest. I"
But the dog continued to tug at his
trowsers- The reporter stopped to see the
end of this curious scene. ''There,
there!" cried the man at length, '1'm
going on. You will tear the breeches off
me-" He started, and the dog trotted at
his heels. After few yards the drunkard
again stopped, and the same seeue
occurred, the dog growing and swapping
until his master began to go forward
The reporter went a Inile out of his way
to see this intelligent dog take his mas
ter home, and saw him wag his tail with
evident satisfaction rs the drunkard reel

All EFFECTIVE WEaPoE,

Tie telegraph gave only a glance at
one part of Tracy's speech which con
!ains interesting information as to other
ciarE, "f incontinence against clergy
men. lie says: 1t is the common meth
cd Of warfare. There is no accusation
TO which Il clergyman is so much ex-
posed; and if he has an enemy that de-
sires TO do him deadly injury. there is
no point from which he can strike with
such deadly effect as the charge of inf
delity in his marital rights. That charge,
whether there is guilt or not, is almost
sufficient to blast the usefulness of any
Clergyman, however respected and how
ever beloved. But Mr.. Beecher is not
tue first eminent clergyman that has
been called upon to face such persecu-
ton as this. 1t was by means of such
an accusation that the enemies of st.
Anthanasius sought to destroy the great
champion of the orthodox faith. 1t was
by such means that the name of st.

tained the same silence for which ny
client is SO sharply criticised. 1t was
upon such a charge that the ruin of the
illustrious Fenelon, Archbishop of Cam
bray, was attempted. 1t was under such
an imputation that the 'judicious
Hooker" one of the brightest lights in
the English Church, remained "dumb
as the dead, " though innocent as babe,
for six years of bitter anguish. 1t was
such a charge, spread broadcast over
England, that John Wesley, the man
VIII, of all Protestants, most nearly ap-
preached to the spirit and labor of the
Apostle Paul, suffered to pass without
aiIy public reply for twenty years. And,
by a yet more remarkable coincidence,
it was by means of an insinuation that
he had made improper advances that a
persecution was kindled against him in
Georgia, which resulted in driving him
out of this country under the ban of an
Indictment. Who envies the memory of
the jury which found that Indictment

only because the unsullied and venera-
ted name of the man whom he thought
he had crushed makes it impossible for
him to escape from infamy.

BEN. WADE FOR GOvERNOR.-In cast
ing about for a Gubernatorial candidate
the leading Republicans of Ohio seem to
be settling down on old Ben. Wade.
Think he would give old Foghorn Bill
Allen little the dustiest race he ever
had in his life. They are both old "codg-
ers," Allen being seventy-two or seven
ty-three, and Wade being turned sixty
eight; and both are as lively as pair of
kittens, and sound in wind Especially
Allen, and limb especially Wade.) Both
of them stumped Ohio in 1910. Wade
for Harrison and Allen for Van Buren,.
Old Ben is powerful on the rugged is
sues, and there is ''no nonsense" about
him. 1t is doubtful if the Buckeye Re
publicans can tumble" on better can
didate for Governor. He has a strong
hold on the confidence and affection of
old men who are or have been Republi-
cans, Free-Soilers, or Unionists in Ohio.
His own county of Ashtabula would
start him with at least 4, 900 majority
and 'Cheesedom, as the Western Re-
serve counties are called, is good for25,
600 majority for old Ben against the
Bourbon Foghorn. Chicago Tribune.

"0ied Suddenly of Heart Disease

Sl0u OuuueDly OI hoarC disease
How common is the announcement
Thousands are suddenly swept into eter-
nifty by this fatal malady. This disease
generally has Its origin in impure blood
filled with irritating, poisonous materials,
which, circulating through the heart,
irritates its delicate tissues. Though the
irritation may at first be only slight,
producing a little palpitation or irregu-
lar action, or dull, heavy, or sharp dart
ing pains, yet by-and-by the disease be-
comes firmly seated, and Inflammation,
or hypertrophy, or thickening of the
lining membrane or of the valves, is pro-
duced. How wise to give early attention
to a case of this kind. Unnatural throb-
bing or pain in the region of the heart
should admonish one that all is not right,
and if you would preserve it from furth-
er disease, you must help it to beat right
ly by the use of such a remedy as will
remove the cause of the trouble. Use
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
before the disease has become too seat
ed, and it will, by its great blood puri-
ying and wonderful regulating proper
ties, effect a perfect cure. 1t contains
medicinal properties which act specifi-
cally upon the tissues of the heart, bring
ing about healthy action. Sold by all
first-class Druggists.

A PRoVIDENT WIFE.-In New Zea-
land there is a great dearth of respecta-
bic dress making hands, apropos of
which the New Zealand Herald tells the
following amusing story: at seems
that a well-to-do settler, near Auckland
was lately attacked by an illness which
his medical attendant declared must ter
inmate fatally, so severe were the symp-
toms. After lying in an apparently
hopeless state for some days, he sudden
ly took turn for the better, and, thanks
to strong constitution, made a rapid
recovery. Not long after he had return
ed to business he was much startled, on
opening an account presented at his
office, to find himself charged with full
set of widows weeds, of elaborately COM
plete description. A domestic explana-
tion naturally followed, and his wife re-
minded him that he had always made it
a special desire that the fact of their hav-
ing emigrated to a colony should never
prevent her dressing as a lady. "And
the dress makers here you know" she
added, have matters so entirely in their
own hands that they generally keep you
waiting for something new. So when 1
was told that you could not possibly re-
cover, ordered what / knew you would
wish me to wear beforehand; and now
the things have only just come home.
The bill was promptly settled.

WINTER ~ FLnRIDA-The Rev. DIR.
c. A. Trimble, ,It!iis city, now at Green
Cove Springs Florida, writes 10 a friend
under date OF february 8, As follows:
''The first announcement by telegraph
of your cold snap reminded Us of our
friends in the North and West, and
aroused our sympaihies for them. At
that time the weather here was unusual
IL mild. and yet we fairly shivered over
the daily announcements of temperature
in Ohio, from 10 degrees above to 20 de-
grees below zero. We felt that such in
tense cold would bring great suffering to
many, and our escape FROM i was "A
cause of thankfulness.
And yet it so happened that our muir
murs aud complaints of the weather be-
came, in a very few days, as loud as
yours 1t was not cold, but for nearly
three weeks Old Sol scarcely deigned to
show his face, and clouds, fogs, mists
and rain threw a mantle of gloom and
discomfort over all OF us, and especially
over the invalids and the first visitors to
Florida Only once did the mercury fall
below so degrees, yet the absence of the
sun for so long a period seemed to
change the character of the climate,
which is almost perpetual sunshine, and
for a time there was general demoraliza-
ton and disgust.
"a week ago last night-just a month
too late-our winter came. Twice dur
ing the week, the mercury fell to 80 de-
grees and once to % degrees, making ice,
but our ice houses were not filled. The
tomato vines and the banana trees were
slightly nipped, but other fruits and veg
etables escaped without injury. The rose
and yellow jassamine on our lot looked
sad and out of place for a day or two,
but have recovered their brightness and
beauty.

RAILWAY uHGER THE SEA.

For many years European people have
talked freely of some way of getting
Themselves and their freights from the
Continent to England and back again
without the delay and discomfort of that
horrible two hours passage from Calais
to Dover. Swinging cabins have been
prOposed-tried, if We are not mistaken
to relieve passengers of the prostrating
nausea that they feel there, if nowhere
else. Immense steamers were planned
we believe their building commenced
which should ferry over railway trains
without change of load. One intellect
ual idiot spent much money in perfect
ing plans for bridge to be erected on
immense piers resting on the ocean bed
rock, and, finally, the wild ehimera (as
we then called it, OF a submarine tun-
mel was projected.
But the world has advanced since then,
and the chimera has assumed a realistic
appearance. We have forced . hole
through the Hoosac range, we have run
the sea through the Isthmus of Suez; we
have stretched n telegraph round the
world; and, finally, we begin to imagine,
why shouldn't we tunnel the British
channel? 1t is only twenty-five miles of
boring.
And so work in the first stages has CON-
menced quietly, but understandingly,
Eminent geologists are making explora-
tions to discover whether the rock stra-
ia are of n character to sustain the
weight of the water above, without too
much masonry. Upon that rests the
whole question. II, as believed, it proves
that the gray chalk which forms the
channel bed is in sufficient thickness to
encase the tunnel in its waterproof ar
NOR, the scheme has no insuperable me-
chanical obstacle. The expense is then
the only question, and it is believed that
that can be readily provided for.
