Height Of Storms.

Prof. Loomis, in his investigations of
the phenomena of storms, has ascertained
that atmospheric disturbances during
storms do not generally extend more than
about mile above the sea level as they
pass over New England. From observa-
tions made at the sea level, as at Port
land, simultaneously with observations
at the summit of Mt. Washington, it is
found that during the passage of storms
the usual system of circulating winds
does not, in majority of instances, ex-
tend to height of six thousand feet
The more violent the movement, how
ever, the greater is the height attained
by the disturbance. Another fact of in
terest is that the disturbance on the ap-
proach of storm is felt at the surface
sooner than at considerable elevations
Prof Loomis says that "when, during
the progress of an area of low pressure,
the system of circulating winds reaches
the summit of Mt. Washington, the
change of wind. to the east quarter
usually begins at the surface stations
eleven hours sooner than it does on the
summit of that mountain" 1t thus ap-
pears that only in the lower portions of
the atmosphere do the great storm move
ments occur, and they are first felt at or
near the earth's surface.

An Inveterate Halter of Frogs.

Norwich Bulletin a-- .... .
A dog likes company and when exiled
from canine. society will often find
amusement in foreign partnerships
Recently Montville man carried home
q young terrier dog. There were no
other dogs in the neighborhood, so he
broke the monotony Of the place by
playing with toads. He actually became
an adept in discovering their haunts,
and when they hoped he would hop,
and when they were at rest he rested.
He showed every symptom of delight
over the fact that he could leap farther
than the toad could, not recognizing the
disparity in length of body and limbs in
his favor. One day he nosed out bull
frog in the wet grass that proved to be
the prince of tremendous leapers, and
trying his jumping powers with it he
was defeated. Astonished, he looked at
the frog as he leaped away, but before it
had got off of the premises, as if in fit
of jealousy, he ran after it and killed it.
He still noses out ,toads, and playfully
touches them with his feet to make them
jump with him, but from the day he was
beaten by the frog at leaping he has
insisted on killing every frog he meets in
his travels. fT

The gridiron of st. Lawrence is
being prepared for the Rev. I. De Witt
Talmage, on his return home at the end
OF this month. 1t is not called grid
iron. Its actual and recognized title is
the Synod of Long Island. But all the
same, it intends to roast Talmage. He
will come back to his flock wealthy in
sheckels and the respect of his kind,
whom he found in England; and, also,
tits to be hoped, with renewed strength
to meet his antagonists. He promised
before he went away, that when he
returned, he would do things in way
as unlike other ministers as possible
and he is quite likely to do 80. But if
there is really an intent, as there seems
to be, to revive in the Presbyterian
Church, the acrimonious fight which
ended in the defeat of DIR. Talmage's IS
accusers last spring, the better sort of
christians ought to step in and stop the
scandal.

Serious Trouble in Af1hanistaH.

At a late hour Saturday night messenger
travelling post haste reached Alikneyl from
Cabul, and informed Major Connolly, the
British Political Agent, that the British en-
bassy at Cabul had been attacked by several
Afghan regiments which had assembled in that
city demanding arrears of pay, and that the
military escort were defending themselves.
The Viceroy of India Immediately ordered the
troops at Alikneyl to move instantly upon
Shutar Garden Pass. Gen. Roberts has been
ordered to proceed to Peiwer Pass and advance
on Cabul while Gen. Stewart has been ordered
to hold Candahar.
A later dispatch from Calcutta increases the
anxiety which had been caused by previous in
telligence. Perfect CONSERVATION reigns in the
India office. Lord Cranbrook, Secretary of
State for the Indian Department, has ele-
graphed to Colonel Frederick A. Stanley, Secre-
tary of State for the War Department to come
to London Immediately.
A correspondent at Bombay asserts that
symptoms of discomfort have been noticed at
Cabul for some time, and the bearing of the
populace toward members of the En- bassy have
been defiant. The force defending the En-
bassy numbered seventy nine, and they fought
| with the greatest bravery. 1t is said the
Ameer's son was fatally injured, and large
number of mutneers were killed. After the
buildings of the Embassy were fired, the sur
! vivors sailed out and defended themselves des-
perately, but all were killed, including Major

The Garden of Eden is said to be
now called Gournah, which is forty
miles northeast of Busreh, in Turkish
Arabia, at the confluence of the Tigris
and the Euphrates. The country is
destitute of vegetation, with the ex-
ception of date palms. The tree pointed
out by the inhabitants as the true and
original Tree of knowledge differs from
the Indian tamarind in that the former
bears bean and does not grow to half
the size of an ordinary tamarind tree.
The eagerness shown by Europeans to
possess branch of this tree has given
rise to good deal of imposition on the
part of the natives, and unless large
buckseesh is forthcoming, they prevent
all attempts on the part OF the visitors
to possess branch.

SINCE the recent order of Secretary
Sherman, requiring payments in silver
to be made to all employees of the United
States in an amount equal to 10 per cent
um of the monthly salary of each, it is
noticeable that the dollar of our dads"
is fast coming into general circulation.
The order is executed with strict impair
tiality, affecting not only the clerks,
but the President, his Cabinet and men,
bers of Congress, who all receive their
10 per cent um allowance of the silver
coin. A day or two ago a check was
sent to the Sergeant-at-A-ms of the
House, by John #. Harris, of Virginia,
for 5000. The messenger who bore it de-
INJURED in receiving 500 of the amount
in silver, but the cashier told the young
man to tell Mr.. Harris he had voted fol-
the bill which made the coin, and that
not only he, but all members of Congress
would be paid 10 per centum in silver
on their salaries hereafter, as the Treas
urer made the Sergeant-at- Alarms take
it, and there was no other course left
him than to take it.

Trouble Ame1o the Democrats.

The Democrats of New York State, have at
last made their effort at split effectual. The
convention which was held at Syracuse last
Wednesday, did the work. The friends of the
present incumbent, Lucius A. Robinson, who
are the anti Tammany element, were deter
mined that he should be renominated for Gov
ernor, while the Tammany faction were
equally strongly determined that he should
not be. After determined and prolonged de-
cidedly stormy session, the Tammanyites with
drew and assembled in SHAKESPEARE Hall.
They placed David Dudley Field in the Chair,
who proceeded at some length to dilate upon
their strength, stating that they not only
represented the principles of the New York
Democracy but the vote. Dorsheimer then
moved that John Kelly be nominated by accla-
nation. This motion met with the widest
applause, and midst the cheering and
confusion, John Kelly was declared nominated.
The anti-Tammany faction, whose delegates
for the most part, represent what in that state
| might properly be termed the country De-
mocracy proceeded quietly with their nomina-
tion by placing at the head of their ticket Lu-
cius A. Robinson.
