the condition of affairs in France gives
rise to much anxiety. The danger of

AN Atlanta, Georgia, dispatch of
March 18th says: This afternoon
noon, the office of the state treasury, at
the capitol, in this city, was the scene Of
a bloody tragedy, the parties being Col.
Robt. a. Aston, member of the legis-
lature, and Capt Ed. Cox, of DeKalb
county. Aston fired three shots, and
Cox two. Aston was shot in the right
temple, the ball passing through his
brain. Cox was shot IN the mouth and
through the left hand. Aston is dead,
while Cox is not seriously hurt. The
difficulty arose from Aston having the
power of attorney from Senator Cor
don to sell the latter's interest
in the state convict lease.
| Cox is sub-lessee under Gordon and
wanted Aston to sell Gordon's interest
to Walters, who had promised to buy
Cox out. Aston said to another person
that Cox threatened Aston at noon that
he would kill him before shutdown If a
trade was not cancelled, and made with
his man. He hunted Aston down,
Gov. Col9uit and others having de-
tanned Aston at the capitol. The
quarrel was renewed and both drew
their pistols with the result above
stated.

a physician OF long practice and high stand

WHERE 1T NEVEIS RAINS.

In Peru, South America, rain is un-
known. The coast of Peru is within the
region of perpetual southeast trade-winds.
and though the Peruvian shores are on the
verge of the great southeast boiler, yet it
never rains there. The reason is plain.
The southeast trade-wlnds in the Atlantic
Ocean first strike the water on the coast of
Africa. Travelling to the northwest, they
blow obliquely across the ocean until they
reach the coast of Brazil. By this time
they are laden with vapor, which they con-
tinue to bear along across the continent
depositing it as they go and supplying with
it the sources of the Rio de 10 Plata and
the southern tributaries of the Amazon.
Finally they reach the snow capped Andes;
here is wrung from them the last particle
of moisture that a very low temperature
can attract. Reaching the summit of that
range, they now tumble down as cool and
dry winds on the Pacific slope beyond
Meeting with no evaporating surface, and
no temperature colder than that to which
they were subjected on the mountain tops
they reach the ocean. Thus we see how
the tops of the Andes become the reservoir
from which are supplied the rivers of Chill
and Peru.
