YEsTERDAY's STORM.

The storm yesterday was not great one,
but coming as it did, after long period Of
comparatively fair weather. it is interesting
enough to attract attention. The fact thst it
has been threatening US for several days is
another reason why we should examine it.
Accordingly reporter Of the DEMOCRAT in
terviewed one of the signal officers and
found that the morning of yesterday opened
cloudy and somewhat threatening at
both the morning observations, with a
fresh breeze blowing at the rate Of
eight miles an hour. The cloudiness
increased as the morning advanced, the
barometer fell rapidly and the wind increased
steadily In velocity, blowing at the rate Of
sixteen miles at 8, twenty one at 8 and twen
ty-five at 10 a. m, which continued until II q.
m, when 1t rapidly rose to twenty-nine miles
an hour at II 10 a. m. and thirty at IL rs
This was the maximum rate for the day, and
1t lasted only ten or fifteen minutes, when it
Immediately declined, and at ~ was blowing
at twenty-six miles and at 2:3o twenty. It
then slowly increased again and blew at the
rate Of twenty-four miles an hour from to
p m. 1t fell to fourteen miles at p. m. and
rose to twenty miles an hour at 80. This
was its last effort. At p. m. it was seven
teen, at p. m. fifteen, at 8 p. M. ten and
half and at 10 p. m. eight miles per hour.
In the morning the wind was south, at II q.
m. southeast; since then it has been gradu-
ally veering to west, reaching south as the
rain commenced and southwest as 1t ended.
The rainfall was 77-100 inch.

taste for things beautiful. "a carnival of
flowers" is offered for this evening, at which
the ladies of Dr. Percival's church will pre-

sent their posters to various points along the
road informing the brethren and "sisteren"
along the line, and expected to have at least a
thousand of the eolored population to zine de
ban, but were In this doomed to disappoint-
ment.
The train started from Algiers about 7 in
the morning with about one hundred of the
bretheren and sisteren of the Zine S'ciety,"
and everything went smoothly until the train
reached Gretna, when three or four white
men got on, to take advantage, no doubt, Of
