On tie night Of the 18th inst, y pecu-
liar and interesting phenomenon in con-
nectlon with the moon was observed.
About $50 P. NJ. the moon was sur.
rounded by Il halo, o. luminous white
circle; or more strictly speaking, an o.
val ring, on wi,icl, were formed two
paraseIen9 opposite to each other, and
between the lower line of the circum-
ference Of the halo and the horizon was
somewhat triangular luminous space,
! fancy this phenomenon has not often
been observed here.-Correspondent
Sioux City Journal.
Ps''aw! that was nothing but one of
those moon wheels which we described
III the ADVANCE a month ago. The
'paraselen9" you saw were nothing
b"t ''moon dogs" or mock moons. We

E2EA Il THE ROADS,

Naturally enough people hesitate a.
bout setting out to break the roads.
But the main roads leading to town
should have been broken before now.
Several weeks ago the Indian Lake
farmers dubbed together, put their
teams on, and broke the road to Wor-
thington, SO that access from that di-
rection is better than from any other
side. Z. Il. Clark has been hauling
wheat for ten days from Round Lake
to the Okabena Mills. Parties from
Fuld;t have also been coming and going
for two weeks. B. F. Cong,lon went
through from Bigtlow to Grand Prairie
last week with the mail and intended
to bring back load of flour The SNOW
is b,d enough, but it is Il hugaboo
which can be vanquished by united ef-
fort.

snow-bound people to know how to pass
the time. Some twelve to fifteen COM
| mercial travellers have been Gagged at
the Worthington, and a more restless
lot Of men never were coopeu up to-
gether before. An occasional dance
has relieved the ennui OF the evenings,
and cards and music have helped them
out both day and night. They are not
very complimentary to our town, for
there is no place of resort outside Of
the hotels, no place where they can
play Il game Of billiards, nothing but a
a ten-pin alley which is not fit for win
ter use. Some Of our pious people even
beg' judged them the one Or two little
dances they had, and one of our minis
ters spoke against cards and dancing
on Sunday night. But even these pious
folks have not condcscenued to furnish
the restless prisoners with tracts and
religious pamphlets.

AnNERTIsING soRROW.


We have been waiting to find among
the many movements toward reforming
the barbarisms to which civilization
clings with respect to the dead, some
suggestion that would take bereavement
out of the grip of fashion and establish
an Independent costume suited to the
notions of each individual.
A little squib from an exchange in
forms us that England has Mourning
Reform Association" numbering $50
members, which has for its object the
abolition OF the present customs and
rules with regard TO dress, and all signs
OF mourning beyond "a band OF Grape
around tie arm or a black scarf at the
throat"
We accept this as the first hint toward
auniversal abolition of one of the most
inexcusable customsto which intelligent
people cling.
We can understand why many people
desire to have display OF carriages and
long professions at funeral; and why
they should desire funs raj sermons and
extended ceremonies over the dead; and
why they should invite many other dem-
onstratiousofalike character overdepart-
ed friends. II is qualification to know
that our friends are respected and ap-
preciated, and such manifestations are,
with some reason, accepted as evidence
although even these are fast being dis.
Carded.
But we fail to find any intelligent
reason or motive that can prompt the
bereaved to array himself or herself in
profusion of Grape or such other So
called habilaments of mourning as are
usually adopted on such occasions.
We are aware that among heather ma
tons there is custom under such cir
cumstances of putting on sack. cloth, and
getting down in the ashes and throwing
dust on the head, &c, and srch gira-
tons very well comport with the heath
en- ideas and notions of propriety; but
when people advance in intelligence
and culture it is naturally supposed that
all such shallow rites and ceremonies
their significance and be
abandoned.
A black garment may be very prop
rand correct style OF dress for the be-
reaved. We can well understand that
the feelings and taste would sugges.
such style for such circumstances, but
when it is put on in such profusion and
exclusiveness as to attract attention, it
can have no other intelligent motive
than an attempt to advertise ones sor-
row.
To say the least OF it, it is loud. 1t
does not comport with the best taste. 1t
would not naturally comport with con-
dition of sincere sorrow. True sorrow
does not seek to advertise itself in that
way. 1t prefers concealment. 1t pre-
fers to be shielded from the rude gaze of
the world, rather than to attract atten-
lion by a conspicuous wardrobe gotten
up for that purpose.
While we are reforming funeral pro-
essions and funeral ceremonies gener-
lly. LET the reform extend to the lOeIdest
uston in this eonnection-the costume
the bereayed.

THE severe drsuth that has prevailed
for the past few weeks through Central
Illinois, Missouri, and in somewhat less
severity through Kansas, has already
inflicted irreparable damage to the corn
crop, in some sections making total
loss of this great dependence OF the

a shortening OF the pork supply this TALL

prices of that important staple.

DEAR GENERAL:-The habitual frank.

the public defence, your expressed de-
sire that should hear and understand
your views, these reasons, together with
an earnest wish to know my own duty
and to do it, induce me TO beg OF YOU

alone can shed upon the present state
II our affairs,
Flrst-ls it the duty OF the govern
ment to reinforce Major Anderson
Second-It YES how soon is it necessa-
~ that those re-inforcements should be
there?
Third-What obstacles exist To nrs-
vent the sending OF such re-enforcements
at any time it may be necessary to do so ?
/ trust you will not regard as pre-
sumption in me ii give you the crude
notions which i myself have already
formed out OF very imperfect materials.
A statement of my errors, il errors thew
may be, will enable you to correct them
the more easily.

reinforcement of Msjor Anderson.

JUDGE BLACK MAKES SOME REV.
Citations.


Judge JERE BLACK has submitted t
an interview which occupies about {
page OF the Philadelphia Press, making
some rather surprising revelations in 70
gard to the attitude of the BUCHANAN
administration at the breaking out Of
the war, at which time he was Secretary
of State, and which altogether makes a
chapter OF very interesting history.
He does not exculpate and yet does
not defend President BUCHANAN from
the charges OF dalliance or connivance
with the Southern leaders, but he makes
a very severe thrust at Gen. ScoTT. He
says:
The failure TO re-enforce Sumter,
which l thought and still think was the
cardinal error Of the Administration was
caused mainly by the misrepresentation
of Gen. Scott concerning the military
situation. He continually declared that
it could not be done with any force at
his command, for certain reasons which
firmly believe to be untrue, and which
l tried my best and tried in vain, to get
from him IN writing, so as to hold him
responsible to the country. But he
evaded me all through. Except for his
pernicious counsels l am satisfied that
no war would have been insugurated at
Fort Sumter. 1t might have come, but
not there or by that cause"
GEN. SCOTT REFUSES TO GO ON RECORD.
The Judges letter to Gen. Scott be-
gan thus:
