I. HEIGHT Of Clouds.

The height Of cloud may sometimes
be measured in the same manner as the
height of any other inaccessible object,
by simultaneous observations of its d.
rection at two stations. More satisfac-
tory results may, however, be obtained
by ascending in balloon and noting the
height of the barometer at the instant of
entering cloud, and again when emery
ing from it, the barometer afording the
means of computing the corresponding
attitudes. In mountainous countries we
may sometimes determine the height of
a cloud by comparing it with a peak of
known elevation near which the cloud is
carried by the wind.
The height Of clouds is very variable,
and their mean elevation is not the same
in different countries. The stratus cloud
often descenes to the earth's surface. In
pleasant weather the lower limit of cum
ulous clouds varies from 5000 to 6, 600
feet elevation, and their upper limit
from {, 900 to II, 1000 feet. Cirrus clouds
are never seen below the summit Of
Mount Blanc, which has an elevation of
15,744 feet.
Clouds are sometimes seen above the
summit of Chimborazo, which has an ell
ovation of 81, 424 feet. Gay-Lussac and
Glaisher, in their different balloon as
cents to the height Of $4,000 feet, saw
cirrus clouds which appeared considera-
bly above them. It is estimated that
the greatest height at which visible
clouds ever exist does not exceed ten
miles.

Chewing Snuff.

t'Of late years" says Mr.. Joseph
Bruton, who does a lucrative business
in selling snuff for chewing purposes,
"I have abandoned selling tobacco or
snuff for the nostrils. I confne myself
solely to the chewing snuff, and this
keeps me almost constantly drumming
in the South. Not that snuff chewing
is altogether unknown in the North and
East. In New York city more than
800, 900 worth of chewing snuff is used
yearly, every ounce Of which is con-
sumed by women, and in the New En-
gland factory towns upward Of $500, 900
worth Of snuff is chewed, or dipped,
as it is called, by the women employed
at manual labor.
s. But all this is nothing to the extent
to which chewing snuff is used in the
South. The men chew it freely enough,
but the great bulk that we send there
(for all, or nearly all, comes from here)
is consumed by women. Among the
working people it is done openly, but in
higher society they are little ashamed
Of it.
DO I think that chewing snuff is an
injurious habit? Well, that is hardly a
fair question; but never do it myself
except in the way Of business. Ne,O

Bouc0tt ~ Ne,y York..

Charles G. Boycott, who was driven
from his home, November 26, 1880, by the
land leaguers, on account OF his connection
with the Irish troubles at Loughmask,
Ulster county, Ireland, has arrived at New
York, where he registered as Charles Gun
bingham, emitting his surname in order to
avoid Identification. He was accompanied by
his wife, the Rev. Edmund Boycott his broth
er, a St. John Boycott his nephew, and a
friend. Capt. Boycott says his visit to this
country was simply to see some friends, whom
he had not met in years. His plans were not
yet arranged and he could not say whether or
net he would settle here. His future would
depend altogether on the condition of the Irish
agitation. He thought that the future of Ire
land was very uncertain and said that his
country would be in a prosperous condition
with determined ministry. He asserted that
the Irish people had been spoiled by being
humored. They declared that they were de-
termined to get rid OF the landlords, and had
no idea what they would then do with the
land. Hebelieyed that the land league would
ruin and degrade the people, but would be a
great success for the learners. He hoped to
be able to return to his home again. He and
his family left home in an ambulance very
early in the morning, and two Of his servants
were placed in charge Of the house. The peo-
pie ordered the servants to leave, but they
were brave women and refused to go. Capt.
Boycott said he intended to go West for two
weeks.

n War Of Races.

The Star and Herald Of Panama
says: IA war of races has broken out in the
valley Of Canete, where more than 1900 China
men have been murdered barbarously by
negroes and coolies. On one plantation 600
inoffensiye men were murdered in cold blood.
All the cane fields, sugar~houses, machinery,
ETC., were burned, and property to the value
of millions has been wrecked. All foreigners
Ahed. The valley is one of the most fertile and
productive in Peru. The work Of murder and
plumber is still going on. It is feared that the
adjacent valley of Chinca will suffer next.
The Chilians refuse to send troops to quell
the disturbances. Henry Swayne is heavy
loser. A number of women and children
sought refuge on board couple Of vessels at
Cerro Azul, and Swayne has chartered a
steamer to bring refugees to Callao. 1t is
feared that similar scenes will be enacted
throughout Peru, even if the Chilians leave
Lima. The foreigners will certainly have to
fight for their lives and put down the canaille,
who are already Boosting what they intend
doing as soon as the Gillian troops leave.
All plunderers caught are soundly fog
ged, and when under this system the
streets are safer than few weeks ago.
A list of fifty Peruvian property owners has
been issued by the Chilians, from each OF
| whom they demand a war contribution of
$4,000. Thus 81, 100000 will be raised, which
IS the quota for the first month. The CHILEAN
government has determined to collect 81, 0OO,-
600 per month for the expenses Of the army.
The fifty gentlemen named held meeting.
Some of them declared they would not pay.
AS the penalty for non payment is the destruc-
ton of property worth three times the amount,
few are expected to fail to pay. The houses
of those who have not paid by the 18th will
be destroyed. The Araucanian Indians, now
on the war path, engaged squadron of Chill
ian cavalry, and twelve TROOPERS were killed.
The crops have been burned, cattle driven off,
men, women and children killed, and all the
revolving savagery of Indian warfare INDUCED

.TerEed TO .J,xd0,,ae7at.

Last week lady named Mrs. Sar-
gent, was found murdered near Santa Barbara,
CAL, and under such circumstances that
pointed to sheep herGer as the guilty person.
The citizens arrested him, and as a means of
extorting confession from him, hung him
to q tree for few minutes. On being taken
down he said that some other mah had com
mitted the crime, but he knew it, and as it
was done near his cabin, to divert the sus-
picion from himself he put rope around the
neck of the deceased and dragged her to the
place where found. He went over the ground
with the citizens and also dug up the club
with which the murder was committed, and
produced some articles taken from the MUIR
dered woman. His stories as to the perpetra-
tor were so conflicting that the citizens con-
sidered his guilt beyond doubt, and hung
him to tree

Gold in the Treasury.

There is now accumulated in the
vaults of the treasury at Washington larger
amount of gold than was ever known to be in
one place, in the history of modern times a
least, and probably more than could be authen-
ticatcd as existing in a single treasury at any
time before in the world, being about sits, 0OO,
900 of gold coin and bullion, exclusive of some
SIS, OOO,0 900 of silver, while the Bank of Eng
land has only about s75,0o0,ooo Of gold.
What is more singular is that it stays in the
vaults, no matter what the demand recently,
for as fast as it is paid out it returns, showing
that as long as confidence is maintained it is
not favorite currency.

route service of s159,765; in the steamboat
service OF $55, 7sa5; and in mail messengers OF
$3.50, making total of S22S,O19. At this
rate the saving in this one branch will amount
to about s2,50O,0C0 annu lily. This result is
due to an order issued about the 18th of last
month, forbidding any increase of expense in
particular branches of the service, except b.
special authority of the postmaster general.

on April Z, while night crew was employed
in clearing the blockade at point some six or

one man was killed outright and four Others

cannot recover. 1t seems that through some
mlscalculation the engine propelling the snow
pillow was ordered into the cut before the men
could be removed, and thus the cruel tragedy
took place.

Il Case Et.0nL ITCH.

The United States Supreme Court,
through Justice Woods, rendered "a decision
in the case of John Miles vs.. The United States,
being an appeal case from the Supreme Court
of Utah. Miles is a Mormon and was con.
victed of bigamy. The ground on which the
appeal was made was that Mormons were
excluded from the jury IN the case; secondly,
that Miles own declarations were admitted
against him as evidence; and, thirdly, that
the eviden e of Miles alleged second wife, who
is priana .facie his wife, was improperly admit
ted against him. The Supreme Court reversed
the decision of the Territorial Court on the
last contention. The law Of Utah does no.:
permit the evidence Of a wife against her hus-
and, and as the alleged second wife was, as
far as the Court knew, the only wife Miles had,
the admission of her evidence was improper.
The decision is regarded as great victory for
