CLIMATE AND WEATHER-Climatc is geo.
graphically fixed, while weather is atmos.
pherically variable; climate is calculated
quastity, while weather is an unknown one.
All sorts of rules are applicable to climate,
but none are applicable TO weather. Climate
is monarchy, weather Is anarchy. Climate
is constitutional government, whose organ.
ization we see and understand; latitude and
altitude are It's king ADD queen; dryness and
dampnesS are its two houses of parliament;
animal and vegetable products are its sub
jects, and the isothermal lines are its news
papers, but weather is red.hot, radical re.
public, all eXcitemen;s and uncertainties 4
despiser of old rules, a ha,er of propriety
and order. Climate is = great, stately sover-
eign, whose will determines the whole char
scter of the lives and habits of its retainers,
but whose rule Is regular, and therefore so
little FELT that il seems like liberty; but wealth.
er is cruel, capriciouS ;yrant, who changes
his DEGREES every day, and who forces US by
his every.varying whims 10 remember that we
are slaves. Climate is local; weather is uni
versal. We are indifferent 10 climate be-
cause we ar. accustomed 10 il, bnt we are
dependent on weather because we never know
what form II will take tomorrow. Climate
Is the rule; weather is the exception.

What No. IS Did for A. T. Stewart.

There are silly stories in the papers
about the s~uperstitisus notions of the
hate A. Il. Stewart, and his belief in
signs and omens, lucky days, places,
persons, events, etc. Bot it is a
curious thing, as well as a true one,
related to the ~so-called superstitions,
or whatever theyLmay- be called,
which seemed to finger in his mind,
that, at the very last of the usual
Sunaay-parties given in his house
before his death, there were the I'M
lucky number of thirteen persons
present at his table. He had always
previously avoided that number. 1t
is also a curious fact that, on this
occasion, the unlueky omen VIII
noticed by one of the thirteen guests,
who said to another Of them that
there would be a death in the house.
In eight days ~afterward the master of
the house lay dead in a chamber not
far from the dining room New Fork
Sun.

FRIDAY, APRIL 81, 1876.

Another circumstance affecting
Mr.. Hester Clymer has just come
to light. 1t appears that he made
the suggestion TO Gen. Belknapsthat
he should resign, and that it was a
surprise 10 Bclknap when impeach-
ment was moved in the House.
Belknap's object in resigning, it is
said, was to shoulder upon himself
the whole responsibility and save the
reputation of his family. 1t will be
remembered that the movement for
impeachment was insisted upon by
the Republican members of the com
,mittee, and that after that Clymer
hurried off the essential witness,
knowing hal he had contemplated
flight. Now it appears that he had
gone farther and suggested te Belk-
nap that he should resign. The out
burst on the Democratic side against
the President because he accepted
the resignation on the showing of
Belknap, may now be appreciated at
its full value. Clymer and those who
were acting with him simply wished
, to make a sensation on which their
3 party could carry the New Iiamp-
shire election. They cared not a
copper about Furnishing the delin-
-auent Secretary. And it is new
doubtful whether they will be able
to make out a case against him at
the bar of the Senate.

A Soldier Without Nerves.

A correspondent of the Manches-
ter IN. H. Mirror thus discourscs of
Gen. Stark; aThe Oldest of our
citizens, natives of Manchester, have
very distinct %recollections of the last
years. of Gen. Stark's life, and re-
late many anecdotes and incidents
concerning him. He seems from
his boyhood to have been a noted
and marked character, both in his
own town and ncighboring settle
ments.. Whatever may have been
the sum of excellence or faults of his
character, it must he remembered
that both were modified by the sur
roundings, influences and hardships
of frontier life. He has left no
legacy of feuds to tell of bitter
ness in neighborly intercourse, but
the uniform testimony of his old
townsmen is to the effect that his
house was often open for socialpar-
ties and festive gatherings. On these
occasions Gen. Stark was never
hilarious, though his hospitality was
sincere, and he enjoyed his guests.
1t is related of him hat he was
never known to show his emotions
in word or expression Of face, an old
resident aycrring that he was never
seen TO laugh or shed a tear. On
one occasion, 20 test his strength Of
nerves. townsman offered to fire a
pistol close behind his back while
the General was busy conversing. A
party in the experiment. agreed to
watch the Generals face in front
Sand report the result, and see if he
were startled or not. There was no
visible alteration in his expression u
manner, but he turned very quietly
to see the cause Of the explosion. He
: was quite as much noted fer vigor in
the management of his farm as in
the management of troops, and could
never endure Incidence in any N
who had the strength and capacity
to labor. At the time of the arrival
of the courier bringing news of the
battle of Lexington, Stark was hard
at work in his saw mill, taking adj
vantage of the spring floods to finish
the saving of logs drawn in the
winter then just past. This mill
was on Ray Brook, near the sight of
the dam that produces DORIS pond,
and the remains of it aic still dis
cernable when the low water will
admit. Old settlers assert that the log
left half sawed by Stark, as he
mounted his horse to beat up re-
cruits, was never disturbed after
ward it decayed with the mill in
the eight long years of fighting that
ended with the surrender of Corn
wallis. Stark'sl integrity and econ
omy in government contracts andthe
. disbursements connected with army
supplies was never questioned by
patriot and tory. He sacrificed his
private interests and the enjoyment
Of domestic life through the Rcvolu.
ton without any hesitation, and
encouraged the same spirit in hi
sons. lie was incapable Of dissim
-ulation, and even when blunt, rougl
'cand eccentric, meant kindness wiier
his manner might belle his heart

0URCANDIDATER.

The Democracy have presented 10 the
people of Delaware 6rst-rate candidates
for the places to be filled. Heading the
ticket is james Williams, our present
member Of Congress; it would be difficult
to find fault with him; abounding in sin
cerity, honesty, good sense, amiability, and
we'll poised and cultured intellect he is
admirably fitted to perform the duties Of
his position ripe in Judgment, and of pure
morals, any legislative act he would vote
for would Of necessity be reflex Of his own
resolate integrity. The warmest Of Mr..
Birds supporters will not for moment
say, he has the well balanced character, and
unsullied integrity of his opponent. A
crude disjointed thinker, jerky and emo
tional in temperament, he would if elected
by the blind follower Of some "Oily Gam
mon,p or the revolter in some moment Of
supreme necessity. As uncertain in opin-
iop, as fdler crab is in direction, ,helacks the
gravity, individuality, and weight required
to represent a State in Congress. St.
Pierre in his "Studies of Nature" illus
trates in many ways the providential adap-
tature of certain animals, trees, plants, and
insects, to their respective habitat. Rea-
soning by the light Of "providential adap-
tation" one must conclude that Mr.. Bird is
in his proper habitat. Than he who bet
ter graces the avenues ?IWhat more cavalier

mentary career of the Hon. Tittlebat Tit
mouse in the pages Of Warren's "Ter
thousand year" and we venture to say in
many particulars it would be closely fol
lowed by our bachelor friend, who persists

POOR HAIRY!

Harry McMullin begs the Office Of Sher-
iff because he is poor, novel reason in
deed! Why is Harry poor? He owned and
worked his present farm while wheat was
1925 and corn $3.50 per bushel, and every
kind of produce proportionately high. This
was the creamy time, and if unlike many
others he neglected to pay off his mort
cages and debts, he has no claim because
of his neglect to do SO, to ask at the hands
of the people an Office for fourth time in
a few years.
How often does Harry want an Of
fee? He has been hunting office all his
life time, and has held one for consider
abe portion of it. In 1863 and 1864 he
was tax collector for New Castle Hundred,
place worth ab out $1,000 per annum,
having previously held another office. As
soon as "Poor Harry" went out he rotated
into Federal Office, the salary Of which
was 81 800 per year, we believe it was af
terwards reduced; the pickings Of the Of
fee is an unknown quantity, as he illegally
and in violation of all known law, com

ARE THE MAILS TAMPERED
With?

The management Of the Post Office in the
city, Of Wilmington in so far as news
paper transmission, and distribution is con-
cerned, is either conducted in discredita-
BILE manner, or in direct hostility to the
circulation of the HERALD. We know that
frequently it takes copy Of the Herald
two days to reach Philadelphia; worse
still, if any important news favorable to
the Democracy is in the paper, it is either
''baggeu' entirely, or reaches we will say
Stanton two days after its issue. We pay
in advance as required by law, and have
the right of transportation from Whining
ton, and distribution at the local Offices.
The LOCAL officials say the fault is in Viii
mingtonSwe know the fault is not at Phil
adelphia. One Of two things are certain,
either the clerks in the Wilmington Office
are negligent, and careless in the discharge Of
their duty, or intent upon obstructing the
transmission of the HERALD's mails. We
have addressed communication to
| the Postmaster General upon this
matter. We have so frequently
complained at the Post Office that
we are led to believe there is one rule
