We learn from Mr.. Clay Grow,
that Taylor Voss was in Columbia
as late as Tuesday 26th. How is this
when he was reported in last weeks
Citizen as having gone to Nashville
to Federal Court. Perhaps we
mistook the kind of court that he
was going to look after. To our
best information this young mans
attentions are considerably involved
here in Pulaski, and what he can be
lettering about Columbia for, is
more than we can divine. He'll
get his little arrangements some
what naiged if he don't mind.

Man.s Inhumanity 10 woman.

You have never really seen a pic
ture of despair, and utter misery,
and sore distress and amazement,
unless you have seen a man, stand
ing in the presence of the wife of
his bosom, and one of the other
members of his family, and reaching
into his pocket TO hand her let
ter he had got out of the postofice
for her, bring out of the recesses of
that inside pocket a crumpled, rum
pied, creased envelope, once white,
but now looking as though it had
associated with cigars for many a
long day, the very indentIcal
letter which she had written to her
mother or dear, dear friend six weeks
ago and given her perfdious hus-
hand to mail. The very letter he
had sworn a thousand times he had
mailed, and even related a little Joke
that the Postmaster got off about
it, in order to prove that he had
handed it to the Government in
person. And there it is in the un-
happy husbands guilty hand, and
wife's eyes start from their spheres
as she gazes upon the well-remem
ed, although cigar-stained address.
She does not scold; not she, the an
gel. She does not swear, as her
husband would do in her case, and
as he does in his own mentality
She does not get up and kick over
the piano stool and drown the trem-
bling caitif in a torrent of talk.
She only looks at the letter and
then at the man and says 'Well -
And that man would rather be
sworn at for straight month than
have that "welr' dropped on him
1t erushes him like a pile driver.
There are probably about four thou
sand ways of saying well, but only a
woman can say it with the accent
which belongs to it under these cir
cumstances. And the wretched
man starts to say about one hun
dred and fifty things and doesn't
finish one of them. He feels that
he has given himself away, TO be
sure. He would like the ground to
open and swallow him up, but the
ground appears to enjoy the play
too well to spoil it by taking away
one of the stars. No living man has
the nerve to go through such a
scene and keep his senses ST fficent-
ly about, after that ''Wellp' is shot
at him. But it is a matter of record
that the man mopes about and cuts
a cord of kIndling wood, and fixes
that kitchen shutter and carries in
| all the house plants and counts
them to see how many brackets will
be needed in that bay window, and
he puts up the hanging baskets,
and fastens the loose shelf in the
pantry, and sets the mouse trap
and carries in stove wood enough
to last a month, and tries TO talk
gossip. and says HEN have Daubs
come around in the morning and
grain the front door, and be tries to
be as good as he knows how, and
ngslly, declaring that he is not
j sleepy, he sets up till after 9 O'Clock
and breads going to bed worse than
the late Mr. Rogers dreaded going
to the stake, and when he does 90
in fear and trembling, he finds his
deceived wife's eyes open so wide
and tight that you couldn't shu
them with a monkey wrench. Anc
here we drop the yell over tbs
dreadful scene.

The family of Rev. Mr.. Dinwid-
die has been very much circum-
scribed recently in the matter of
house room. But thanks to Messrs
Watterson, Knight, and the painters,
the parsonage will soon be com
pleted and they will have ample
room. When finished, this Pastors s
house will be equal to any we have
seen outside of city. In the base
ment are the diningroom and pan
try is II and 10 X u. Above
these are parlor 16 X II with bay
window, and Pastors study u Is.
On the next floor are two rooms of
like dimensions with the last named.
These six rooms have all been
added. The West end of the build
ing has been transformed into two
large rooms, one above and one be-
low, and nursery, numbering in
all nine rooms. We congratulate
the Pastor and his family on the
early completion of their house OF
habitation.

Sowing Grass and Glover with
Grains

One great cause of failure with
grass in the south has been the
seeding of the crop with the small
grains. This is a common practice
at the north, and we were formerly
inclined to favor it, hut later exper
iments force us to the conclusion
that in our climate at least, the
practice is a bad one, and that it is
far more profitable to SOW each by
itself. If sown Immediately, (when
not already in) grass and clover
will, on suitable soil, attain such a
growth before the hot weather of
next season sets in, as will insure
them against injury, without the
shade of the grain, which viii be in
iured by the clover and grass, while
injuring them in return. In any
case, the land for clover and the
grasses should be rich and thor
oughly prepared by deep, close
blowing, followed by narrowing,
previous to which a good dressing
of superphosphate may be applied
with advantage. Brush lightly to
cover,and, except on heavy soils, by
ali means roll the fields with toler-
ably heavy roller. This last Is an
important and too generally neg
lected process. Ifyou are to SOW
clover on the same field, it is best
to SOW the clover by itself, as the
seed does not mix well with the
grass seed. The various kinds Oi
grass may be mixed before sowing

Will be year of great events.
Besides the great centennial exhi-
bition. it will be the year Of elee-
tions for President, Senators, Gov
ernors, Congressman, Legislatures
and county officers. It will be a
year full of exciting interest to
every citizen, and every one should
keep well posted. In view of the
fact that money is scarce we pre-
pose to furnish the CITIZEN until
the first of 1877 for 81 cash-14

The science of storms.


Prof. Tice, Of St. Louis, has Civ
en- a brief explanation of the theo-
ries upon which he works in fore
casting the state of the weather up-
on certain dates IN the future, which
are here copied:
Electricity is the cause of all at
mospheric movements.
The primary atmospheric move
ments are: 1. A down-pour of air
fl ON the surface Of the atmosphere
upon the earth, and 3, an up pour OF
air from the surface ofthe earth to-
ward the zenith.
Under the down pour there is
high barometer, and under the up
pour there is low barometer.
All currents of air on the surface
of the earth dow from an area Gov
cred by high barometer, into an
area covered by a low barometer.
All currents in the upper regions OF
the atmosphere now from the top
of the p-pouring column over an
area of high baFometerinto the vor-
tex of downpOuring column over
A4 area VI AllA n1l0AhElGis
The down pouring column is call
ed the anticyclonal vortex; the up
pouring column the cyclonal vortex.
Over and around the cyelonal
vortex clouds are always formed,
and in it rain, hail and snowstorms
are generated, together with their
attendant phenomena, such as tor
nadoes, hurricanes, etc.
No clouds are formed over, but
clear or clearing weather prevails
within and around the anticyeional
vortex, consequently no storms of
any character are generated within
it, though its outaowing winds
when in close proximity to a storm
centre may produce heavy gales.
A high and low barometer are
iRseparable parts of an electric
couple. When storm enters-as
the lowest point OF depression with
in an area OF low barometer is call
ed-passes over a continent, On
some parts Of that continent, there
is an area of high barometer;
hence, as no rain falls under a high
barometer, the part of continent
covered by such may suffer from
drought, while that portion over
which a low barometer passes or
prevails, may suffer frcm excessive
rain falls and destructive floods.
At present, for want of adequate
/ knowledge of laws covering the
movement Of the permanent high

time when these heavy rainfalis wiz
take place, but not the localities
where they will occur.
When observation has furnished
US the necessary facts, SO that we
can deduce the law, we will be able
/ to forecast both the time and place,
when and where. the phenomena will
occur.
A low barometer viii swing
around a high barometer, as 3 cen
ter, and vice versa.
4 high barometer lies about 10
degrees toward the left when we
stand facing the wind; and a low
barometer lies as many degrees 20
the left when we are facing the point
whittier the wind goes.
The direction q low barometer or
storm center IS moving, can be as
certained by observing the veerlng
Of the wind.
] Suppose the wind to be southeast,
then if the wind remain steadily in
that point, we are in the path Of
/ the storm center. II it veers toward
! Ia -
north of Us. II it shifts toward the
east, aud thence north, then the
storm center will pass south Of US.

If Prof Tice has any regard for
human fear, and timid people, let
him cease his meteorological vati-
cinations. Jason Baugh was fear
fully alarmed during the slight
wind storm on Monday night last.
A sudden blast against his windows,
hurled to the floor a plank that was
supplying a broken pane, and panic
stricken, out he leaped upon the
floor, in EXTREMIST trepidation, and
after rousting about frantically for
a while. he calulated the cost, cooled
off and went back to his plank.
Hold, Mr.. Tice.
