Airing His French.

While French ship was detain-
ed at u Southern port on the coast
of Georgia, the officers amused
themselves by fishing and hunt
ing, making their rendezvous at
the house of an old farmer, where
they cooked their game and slept.
The old man watched their foreign
ways with intense curiosity, and
listened eagerly to the bewilder-
ing tongue they so fluently dis
coursed in, and after some days had
passed he picked up some phrases
most agreeable to his ear, although
he could not catch the pronuncia-
ton, or may have scorned to imi-
tate it. He had been fond of hold.
ing forth in prayer, night and
morning, for many years, with no
audience but his wife, and now
that Providence had provided a
congregation who were necessarily
compelled to sit around his fire for
rest after the hard days work, his
outpourings began to stretch far be-
You'd the patience of his guests, and
soon they showed no hesitation in
dropping Off in the midst of his ex-
hortations. Noticing and resent
ing this, he commenced the usual
nightly exercises earlier one eve
ming before any of the party left,
ana after enumerating every sin OF
commission and omission they had
been guilty of under his roof, be-
sought for pardon for them. "But
it," he prayed with fervor, "their
Godlessness and sinfulness are
past forgiveness, then, o Lord, l
beseech you to look down with
sang .troid on their daily life" 1t
is hardly necessary to say that the
French words were pronounced
with all the hardness his voice was
capable of enunciatIng, and each
letter dwelt upon with fervid dis
tinctness.

BILE for this: "Sprees," said Mr..
Scarletnoze, rubbing his nose re-
flectively, "are good things in their
way. They are the breathing spells
of existence. They should be con-
tinued three or four days in order
to be beneficial. They are obliv.

They bring man back to a higher
sense of honor, and fit him for bet
ter work. A weeks spree is as good

Apropos of the early commence
ment of the rains the Alta has coll
lected the following statistics of
October rainfalls:
October is q month belonging to
the rainy season, and the farmers
have no reason to believe that there
will be q holding off of rains be-
cause they have not finished
threshing, or have not stored their
sacks of grain, or have left the hay
in the field or at the roadside; and
II loss should come to them by rea-
son of this neglect, it is because
they do not choose to accept the
lessons Of the past. In 1849 over
three inches of rain fell in October;
in 1850, there was a drought, only
7.40 falling during the whole sea-
son; in 1851, OIL; in 1852, O.SO; in
1858, OH; 1854, 2.4I; in 1856, 0,45;
in 1857, O93; In 1858, 274; in 1859,
LOS; in 1860, 0.9l; in 1852, O.4O; in
1854, 0.13; in 1865, 0.26; in 1867,
020; in 1868, OILS; in 1869, 1.29; in
1871, OIL; in 1872, OBJ; in 1873,
0.6s; in 1874, 2.73; in 1875, OPP; in
1875, 2.69; in 1877, 0.66; In 1873, 0.67.
The loss by the early rains this
year seems to be confined to Suffer,
Tehama, San Luis Oblspo and Tu-
lare. There is no augury to be
drawn from early rains. A COM
parison of the tables of the fall of
moisture shows that in 1850, 1868
and 1870, when there were no rains
In October, the seasons we're disas-
trously dry, while in 1876, another
year OF drought, 2.69 inches of rain
fell in October. In the great flood
year-166l-no rain came in Oc-
tober.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18th. The
United States Consul at Matamoras
says of tue rich mines in Mexico:
They are very inaccessible by roads,
and the danger from Indians in the
mountains makes it hazardous
journey to reach them. The chances
of getting money there, and of get
ting it out of the country, are, of
course, very doubtful. The advice
of the Consul is, to wait six months
before attempting to go to the
mines; by that time some definite
knowledge on the subject will be
obtained.

fish used to drive his cart considerable
way inland. On one occasion, when
passing a wild moor where, although

and wondering what the strange creature
could be, took il to the schoolmaster.
