The Science of storms.

Prof. Tice, of st. Louis, has given n
brief explanation of the theories unon
which he works in forecasting the state
of the weather upon certain dates in the
future, which are here copied:
Electricity is the cause of all atmos-
pheric movements.
The primary atmospheric movements
are: !. A down-pour of air from the
surface of the atmosphere upon the
earth, and 2, an up'pour Of air from the

Al Awful Brute.

Yesterday afternoon, Il Young lady
dressed in the narrow guaec stvie. had
occasion to cross Lake Avenue where
There. is no crosswalk. She had Just
alighted from a car OH the opposite side
oi the stree. from her home. Near her
patrrnal residence two men were stand
ing engaged in conversation. On the
side of the street there was quite a pud-
die of water or rather quite a stream, as
1T was flowing down the avenue in good
style. This young lady must necessarily
cross. Managing her diminutive skirts
as best she was able she then cast an
eye over the situation. She thought
she could step over it, but alas for hu
maI calculations, she made an error in
the distance, or inFthe supposed extent
OF her skirts, or something, for she lifted
mp her delicate foot and planted it di-
rcctly in the center of the dirty pool.
In her dismay she dropped parcel she
had III her arms, and while trying to
pick 1T up, in some unaccountable man
ner she lost her balance and sat down
plump in the water and mud. One of
the gentlemen at once ran to her assist
ance and helped her within the gate.
bundle and all. The other man was un
able to restrain his risiblcs and burst in
to a hearty laugh, wrong as such pro-
cceeding certainly was. The young lady's

Two Swordnsh Stories.

Saturday afternoon, says the HONOLULU
Gazette of September lst, about tie
time the frigatc Rcpulsc was getting un-
der way, Il large fish was seen by the ma
tivcs Of Waikiki rapidly approaching the
bay. AS he ncarct the reef he cleared,
it With one leap sof fully two hiihdrc,
feet and skinned over the shallow water
inside until he landed high and dry on
the sand beach, directly in front of Mr..
j. w. Ptlugcr's seaside cottage Here
he was seized by Il native, who, however
was unable to hold him, and the huge
fish foundercd about till he finally. got
into the water. a crowd of natives
corralled him, and the water near shore
being too shallow for him to Use his fins
to any advantage they soon killed him
with an AK. It proved to be species of
the swordtish, measuring eight feet in
length, while his sword measures thirty
six inches. The latter may be seen in
our office, He appears to have been
frightened by the Repulsc and shot like
an arrow through the water and over the
reef, with such extraordinary speed that
he could not stop till out Of Ills native
element and high on the land Those
who witnessed it says it was most ex-
citing scene.
These sword-tishes arc very powerful.
We remember Capt. Stone telling of an
incident which occurred while he was
running the Jocephine between this port
and Jarvis Island, about 1858. The brig
was All extraordinary sailcr, ahd while
going at her full speed, ten miles an
hour, sic was struck directly under the
stern counter with such Il shock as to
jar the whole vessel and TO awaken the
captain out of Il sound sleep, who sup
posed the hrig had struck Il whale or n
fect. Immediately the pumps were
started but there was no water in the
hold. On returning to port the brig was
hove out to find the cause of the shock,
when, near the sternpost, imbedded in
the thick plank, the blade of a sword fish
was found fully twenty inches In length.
TO have hit the brig under the counter
the fish must have been going ut the
same direction as the vessel; and one
may imagine the speed with which it
moved to have plunged its sword twenty
inches, through the planking. 1t must
have been going ut the rate Of twenty or
twenty-five miles an hour, and evidently
intended to hit the brig, snpposing it to
have been a whale. From this one can
get faint idea of the fights which take
place among the monsters of the decp.

British Agricultural Statistics.

The agricultural returns for Great
Britain for the current year have lust
been published, and show the following
result in acres, rs compared with the
three previous years:
1872. 1873. 1874 1875.
Wheat. .3,59S,957 3,490,3S0 $3.50, 300 3,342, 1888
Barley. .2,316,332 2,335,9l3 2,2S7 ,9S7 $500, 1913

Hops. 6l,927 81, ,27s G5,s05 B9,2O3
The area of wheat is, therefore, about
100000 acres less than last year, redtic-
ton of nearly S per cent. Barley shows
an increase, somewhat larger in proper
tion than the decrease in wheat, though
not as large in area. The number of
animals, June 25th, in each year, is us

While the population of Great Britain
increases from year to year, it will be seen
by the above figures that there are fewer
sheep to furnish mutton in 1875 than
there were in 1874 by l lis, $685. This is
Il large reduction for one year, ami fully
explains the steady high price of mutton
in all British markets. These facts arc
encouraging to sheep husbandry in the
United States, and especially to the long
wool, or Cotswold breed, as combng wool
sells twice as high now as twenty years
ago.
Hogs, always called pigs in England,
have diminished nearly 100000 since last
year. Good fat porkers and bacon arc
likely to rule high for the next six or
eight months, for the cholera the scarcity
of grain last season and other causes, have
materially reduced the price of swine, cs-
pccially i'll the west and southwest.

The down-pouring column is called

Over and around the cyclonal vortex

arabic parts of an electric couple. When

4 Troubled Barber.

joke was perpetrated OH one of the

shops yesterday, says the Rochester
Chronicle, which disgllsted the young
man very much and made any quantity
of sport for his associates. The men
were all busy at work when man en-
tered the shop, took his seat in the cor
ner, pulled out a paper and began to
read while waiting his tarn. He held
the paper up before his face in such a
manner that the barber could not sec it,
and therefore when he had finished his
job he sharply calculated "Next!" No
response from the man behind the news
paper. "Shave, sir!" came next a little
louder. Still no response. Then raising
his voice rather impatiently, as he was Il
barber whose chair was never slighted
before, he shouted: "NVant something
done, sir? All was quiet, and the man
read on as though he were ten miles from
any disturbing queries. "That mans a
deaf mute" said one of the artists fcl-
low-workers. 81 know him well; he
wants shave, but don't know as it is
his turn Thereupon the young man
left his chair, stepped across the room
and touched the quiet man on the sleul-
der. He glanced up, when tho barber
began apantomimicper performance intended

A Remarkable Disaffection.

Surely there must be an unprecedented de-
ism, when the head and front of the Conserva-
tive party in Augusta county, declines to sup
port the regular nominees. Is is stated in a
communication Ill the Spectator, that Maj. W..
NJ. Tate, the chairman Of the Conservative
committee of this county: and who organized
the recent County Convention, will not support
the ticket nominated, and is actively engaged
in trying to defeat it. OF course the action of
Maj Tate, sustaining the relation he does to
the Conservative organization, relieves every
body else from all obligations to support the
nominees. 1t opens up way for the people
to express their sentiments at the ballot-box as
to who they want to represent them, and to
give death blow to the miserable caucus ty-
ranny that takes away from the people their
manhood, their rights. We earnestly hope
that every man who feels the pressure of duty,
who appreciates the high privilege of the ballot,
who is ardently DESTROYS OF infusing into the
legislation of Virginia something of the old
tim honesty and independence that made Vir-
ginia "evered and respected throughout the ma
ton, VIII give one day to the publication of
the politics OF the county, by casting his vote
for that noblclst old Roman of them all-Geo.

An article in the Richmond, Virginia Patron,
which appears as a sem-cdtorial, but we think
was written in Augusta county, arragns the
VIRGINIAN for an s'attack upon the Changers, ="
in connection with ''Augusta politics." Moth
ing could be farther from the truth than the as
sertion contained in said article, as to this pa
per- We have said nothing about the orgaai-
cation of the Changers during this canvass
We alluded to Changers as delegates to the
County Convention, but not in the sense that
they were acting under the sanction. OF their
orders. The writer in the Patron evidently
desires to make point against the VIRGINIAN
for some purpose. and if such be the fact, he
had better contine himself to the truth. The
VIRGINIAN can take care Of itself, it is true,
but we want to know its eneraes when they
appear in public print, and to give them the
weight they deserve. We don't like bush
whacking, or the guerrilla mode Of warfare
We have no concealments ourselves, ard when
we are assaulted and the effort made to arraign
an organization against lis, which, by the prin-
pie of its existence, is non-political, we think
it would be more manly for the assailant to
give the public the benefit of his name. In
that event, we could take care of him and the
VIRGINIAes ut the same time.
