THE other day an intelligent colored
man, graduate of Howard Univer-
sity, called on Colonel Forney, in
Philadelphia. He remarked that he
was now living in Georgia. The
colonel asked him if he was prosperous
and was permitted to vote in peace,
and he replied that he was prosperous
and contented. I don't vote very
much, he said, "but that will come
all in good time, if only the Democrats
continue to treat us as well as they dc
now and let us complete our educa-
tion and pay us our wages. Those are
mighty gains over the days of slavery,
are they not?"

THE intense cold spell, like the re-
markable heat of last summer, seems
common to the Northern hemisphere
Scotland has been buried in snow to
degree unknown for thirty years, and
the San Francisco Chronicle, of De-
cember 29th says, under the head of
" Phenomenal Weather -:
The weather record of this State
since the coming of the Argonauts
shows nothing like the continued cold
snap Of the last fortnight. When the
mercury falls at Sacramento to 15o and
IL below freezing point, as it did on
the nights of the 26th and 9th inst
it is almost as startling a phenomenon
as settled rain in the month of Au-
gust would be. Our Idriest winters
are always the coldest, because they
are accompanied by northerly winds.
while the rain winds all blow from the
south, generally at a temperature
ranging from 4S0 to go Fahrenheit.
The ordinary winter north winds come
with a perfectly clear sky and produce
range of temperature in the great
inland valleys from about freezing
point (320) in the night to 520 in the
afternoon. This year the range, both
at Sacramento and Stockton, has been
much lower, both day and night.

The Charleston News and Courier
tells why Governor Hampton rode a
mule instead of a horse in the deer
hunt, which proved such costly di-
version for him. He is hard rider,
and the day before had used friends
horse which he wished to spare on the
second day, as he is not one of the
kind to ride borrowed horse to
death" 1t was for this reason that
he mounted the festive mule which
later played him such shabby trick.

TIVE millers and farmers of the
West are about to begin a war on the
subject Of the use of wire for binding
grain. The Minnesota millers say
that the wire damages their stones
and bolting cloths, causing loss
which they propose to recover by pay
ing ten cents less per bushel for wheat
containing wire than for the same
grade free of wire. The farmers and
their representative journals say that
this action of the millers is unreasona-
BILE. as the soft iron wire with which
wheat is bound could not do as much
damage to mill machinery as would
Justify the reduction in price proposed
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1879-01-08

by Minnesota millers, 1t is said that
the wire binders, although they do not
suit the miller, are much better than
any others for the farmers use.
The quarrel, however, if it seriously
affects the price of wheat, will surely
lead to the invention of improved
methods of binding, calculated to over
come the new objection to wire bind
ers. In Illinois aud Wisconsin the
millers contented themselves, in con-
vention, in protests against the use of
wire.

A Breathing Cave.

Newport Reporter.
In the range of mountains in West
ern North Carolina known as the
Fox Range, a most singular phe-
nomenon exists. 1t is a breathing
cave" In the summer months a cur
rent of air comes from it so strongly
that a person cant walk against it.
while in the winter the suction is Just
as great. The cool air from the noun
tains in summer is felt for miles in a
direct line from the cave. Attimes, a
most unpleasant ordor is emitted upon
the current from the dead carcasses of
animals sucked in and killed by the
violence. The loss of cattle and stock
in that section in winter is accounted
for in this way; They range too near
the mouth of the cave, and the cur
rent carries them in. At times, when
the change from inhalation begins, the
air is filled with various hairs of ami
mails; not unfrequently bones and
whole carcasses are found miles from
the place. The air has been known
to change materially in temperature
during exhalation from quite cool to
unpleasant hot, withering vegetation
within reach, and accompanied by O
terrible roaring, gurgling sound, like a
pot boiling. u is unaccounted for by
scieutifc men wha have examined
though no exploration eaa take place,
1t is feared that a volcanic eruption
may break forth there sometime,

A proposition has been made in the
French chamber of deputies to ex-
change the red trousers of the army
for those Of darker color. 1t is urged
that red is very clearly sees by an en-
emy and affords a good aim, The
objection to tae change is hat red
trousers are traditional with the
French army, and associated with its
glory The saswer to this is that they
were adopted only about forty years
ago, in the reign Of Louis Philippe,
and that their traditions are connected
with but a small proportion Of the
battles FOUGHT by France.
