An old planter who visited our Office
last evening said that the cane had stood
the drought much better than he would
have expected, but that corn and COW
peas were suffering greatly for rain.
The shower Of yesterday evening was
the first his crops had received for eight
weeks, and if the moisture had been
much longer delayed, corn and peas
would have been almost if not quite {.
failure.

" Times" on the Miller Chinese Bill.

Times on the Ml4fer Sninesc kSHEi.
New YORK, Dec. Ga Times edl-
torial on the DILL introduced in the Sen
ate yesterday by Miller Of California
for the regulation of Chinese immigra-
ton, says: 1t is merely a provision to
give life and force to the clauses of the
new treaty with China. Many seem to
think that tho treaty would carry out
its own stipulations and provisions, sub
ject only to municipal regulations but
the treaty will be dead letter until its
provisions are put into statutary form
by Congress. The agreement that Ger
tain classes of Chinese immigrants shall
be forbidden to enter our ports, and that
certain others shall freely come and SO,
it is expected, will be a subject of ma
tional legislation. The purpose OF
Millers bill, We take it, is to enact into
law the treaty provisions. 1t is no.
ticeable that the terms of the bill are
precisely those of the treaty in the de-
scription of persons to be excluded from
and persons to be admitted INTO the
United States.

Keifer's Address !.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-In assuming
the Speakership Of the House yesterday
Keller made a graceful speech inviting
the charity and forbearance of the House
and country. Where party principles
were involved he would be Republican,
otherwise he would act without party
bias. The party in the other branch OF
Congress has an absolute majority over
all other parties, therefore is peculiarly
Fortunate. At no other time since and
for many years prior to the accession OF
Abraham Lincoln to the Executive
chair, have there been SO few unsettled
vital questions of a national character
in relation to which party lines have
been closely drawn. The national
prosperity of the people is in advance
of. any other period in the history CT
our government. The violence OF party
spirit has materially subsidized and in
great measure many of the reasons for
its existence are gone. The universal
tendency of the people is to sustain and
continue to build up its unparalleled
prosperity, and it should be our highest
aim to promote and not cripple it.
This session Should be, and I profound
ly hope it will be, marked peculiarly
as a business session. 1 venture to sug-
gest the present as an suspicious time
to enact law to guard against the re-
currence Of dangers to eur institutions
and assure tranquility in as perilous
| times in the future.

Meeting as Friends

WASHINGTON, Dec. CAS- the old
soldier, General Rosecrans, went down
the aisle yesterday to greet the veneer
able ex-Vice President of the late
Southern Copfederacy, his wonderfully
erect carriage showed signs Of age, and
the elastic step and quick, nervous
movements of so years ago had de
parted, but As he entered into animated
conversation with Stephens, who occu-
pied his invalid's chair in the area be
fore the clerks desk, his face lighted
up, his eyes twinklsd and he appeared
less unlike the victor of Corinth.
Stephens was pale and emaciated, but
as bright as ever. He received the
congratulate lions of the members gener-
ally. The dashing ex-Confederate cav
airy leader, General Wheeler Of Ala
bana, wears his years lightly, and ex-
cept that his head has become some
what bald and his beard slightly sill
vered, he does not appear day older
than he did at the end of the war.

Rumor hath it that ex-senator A. "A.
Sargent Of California is about to enter
President Arthur's Cabinet. All who
know the honorable gentleman consider
him a RATHER in the true Republican
sense, a man of bright ideas and sound
judgment on the material interests OF
the Pacific coast, and like Gorham,
Conklinr, Grant and Blaine, who never
lose eight Of q principle of honest ad-
herenes to their party friends. This
appointment, if true, ought to remind

of extensive observations in relation TO
th< pressure exsrted by the wind. The
most viols.t gale recorded by him was
At Ess. ST. Louis, in 1871, when the
wild overturned = locomotive, the
force developed in 50 doing being no
less than 90 pounds per square foot. At
st. Charles jail was destroyed in 1877,
the pressure required being 81 pounds
per square foot At Mansfield, in 1880,
a brick mansion was lsveied, the force
necessary being IS pounds per square
foot. Below these extraordinary pres
sures, Mr.. Smith instances numerous
cases of trains being blown of rails and
bridges, ETC., blown down by gales of
"a and 81 pounds per square foot. In
all the examples the lowest force re-
uuired to do the observed damages has
been taken as the maximum power of
the wind, although Of course, it may
have been higher.
Messrs Moody and Sankey, who are
pursuing their work of evangelization
in England just now, do not meet with
approval from at least one eminent
English divine, the Bishop of Man
chester. That official of the Established
Church has some very decided views
on the subject of revivals," and e1-
presses them in very clear and viger-
Gus manner. He says that the state OF
exaltation and mental disturbance pro-
duced in the minds of people by the eff:
forts of revivalists soon passes away
and nothing whatever to do with true
religious conviction. He concludes
that, as the methods Of Moody and San
key are wrong, the work they are doing
cannot result in good.

Enthusiasts who make special study

Enthusiasts who make special study
of sun-spots and attendant phenomena
beliave that the cornerstone of new
srience is being laid by discoveries
pointing to an, intimate connection be-
tween solar and terrestrial meteorology.
Inst what the connection is they are
not vet able to clearly define, although
electricity is suspected of being the
agent through which the effects are
being manifested upon our planet. 1t
is known that the gaseous envelope OF
the sun is affected by eruptions of such
prodigieus magnitude as to be utterly
beyond our power of conception, these
disturbances appearing to us in the form
of rapidly changing spots and protuber-
ances. The eras of the spots-or sun
storms-occur at remarkably regular
intervals, a complete cycle of the varl-
Gus stages of activity from maximum
to minimum and again to maximum
being performed in about eleven years
the so-called 'sun-spot period" The
suu-spot physicists claim a coincidence
of the periods of maximum spots and
wears of great atmospheric and physl-
cal disturbance in the earth. The pres
ent has been year of great solar dis
turbances, while it has been marked by
violent. storms and earthquakes upon
cur globe. Further than this, these
scientists claim to have recently de-
tected by simultaneous observation
minor atmospheric changes as the re-
suit of corresponding movements IN the
sun. Many difficulties attend these oo'
servations, but the Astronomer Roya
for Scotland and others believe tnat the
state of the sun will some day, become
an important factor in weather forecasts
and like calculations.

THE women Of Texas have triumph-
ed In one of their measures, which pro-
misses to reward them with substantial
benefits. They have passed through
the Legislature, in the face Of deter
mined opposition, a resolution reqnir-
ing that women shsll be employed in
the State departments for every posi-
ton they are competent to fill upon the
same terms and conditions as men,
The heads Of departments, it appears,
have hitherto declined to give the wo-
men any public employment, but, not
withstanding the fact that the ladies
have no votes, when they brought their
influence to bear upon the Legislature,
they proved more powerful than those
who elect legislators. A relative Of the

-FRoM what we can learn the New
Orleans and Pacific Railroad is being
pushed forward With wonderful energy.
A recent letter from Mr.. W. E. Crume,
assistant engineer OF the road, dated at
Church Vile, st. Landry Parish, Febru-
ary 9TH, states tina: the work Is going
on with vigor. He states that he has
completed all his bridge locations and
the contract let for construction for the
frat of June, by which time he doubts
not the contractor will have everything
ready for the trains. The water Is In
favorable condition to forward the work.
Many Of the piles needed will be over
one hundred teet long, and this will
cause some unavoidable delay in get
ting timber of that length. He is now
procuring them over on Pearl River, in
Mississippi. Thus in something over
two months the scream Of the locomo-
tive will be heard in Alexandra, and
that town will be In communication,
by rail, with New Orleans, and a few
weeks later trains will be running
through to Shreveport.-[Natchitoches

TIRE St. Louis Post-Dispatch says:
One of the ornaments TO Washington
City at this juncture is old J. Madison
Wells, the chief conspirator Of tho IA
nous Louisiana Returning Board, and
the man who made Mr.. Hayes fortune.
For his theft of the Presidency Mr..
Wells received small Federal appoint
ment for his son. It is presumed that
he is In Washington now to demand a
place for himself from Garfield. OF
course the old sinner has no direct
claims on the new President, but he ia
able to show by unmistakable logic
that but for his distinguished services
a. pirate In 1877, Mr.. Hancock and
not Mr.. Garfield would be in the White
House to-day. The theft of the Presi-
dsncy in behalf Of Hryes made the
election of Garfield possible, and the
pious man Of Mentor will be untrue To
himself If he doesn't give Wells an of.

days In peace On the outside of peni'
