In,yn Temperance CycIone.

As your readers are all aware, Iowa has jns
had two cyclones. one destruction OF lie and
prppcIty the other destruction OF distillerics

points directly to Illinois. But the Illinois

showed it aside. They are not ready for the
Issue. But 1t is coming In 1892 the Old
whig party, in the eighth plank of their plat
form, said that the series of acts of the 23d
Congress, the act known as the Fugitive Slave
Law included, are received and acquiesced in
by the Wing party of the United States as a
settlement in principle and substance of the
dangerous and exciting questions which they
embrace. And We deprecate all fur.

dangerous TO our peace and will discounte-

we can gather from the late rains is that for
this September we have had an early rain
storm or succession of showers, and
we may or may not have them re-
peated, or have similar ones at any time
There are other facts and circumstances, how.
ever, that may be taken as indicative of the
probable weather during the coming winter.
We hsve not the rain tables by us for the
last thirty two years, and will therefore only
state them from recollection and in general
terms. Since 1919 the seasons, so far as
amount Of rainfall is concerned, seem to have
been divided into periods or clusters of six or
seven years each. During this period, or
during each seven years, we have hsd
one season Ct maximum rainfall and
one season of minimum rainfall, and the
other seasons in each period have been char
acterized by gradations, or ascending or de.
scepding scales. making the full amount of
rainfall of each period, or cluster of years,
very nearly equal. Following out this ides,
or sevsn-year period, the present year is the
one, or in which we should have the mini
mum Of rain for the period ending in 1882.
Now there may be nothing in the above OBJ.
ssrvations, but careful study of the tables
will certainly attract the attention of a
thoughtful mind, snd tend to fasten con-
viation that there ia some significance in the
uniformity of the recurrence of the same gen.

California Bermuda Gra.s.

There is 10 California grass which seems
to be indigenous here, and which is extend
ing rapidly over the low river bottoms, that
very much resembles the imported Bermuda
grass. The manner of its growing and
spreading over the soil by runners, which, at
each joint, have roots penetrating the soil,
seems to be very similar to the Bermuda
grass The leaf and the seed, head and bios
som, are the same as those, Of the common
Bermuda grass, but the seed is larger
and of different shape and color. The habits
OF this grass are very similar to those of the
Bermuda grass proper. Both retain life IN.
der water, however deep and however long
covered. Both come forward late in the
spring, and both are cut short in growth
early in the fall upon the occurrence of cold
weather. Both are very tenacious Of life
under cultivation division of roots only
seeming to stimulate growth and rapid exten.
sion. By some this grass is called butter
grass, from the fact that COWS feeding on it
give such rich milk that makes so much and
good butter. It is barely possible that it is
indenticsl with the imported Bermuda grass,
and only grows coarse in consequence of the
richness of the soil which it finds On our rich
bottom lands. Whatever may be the true
name or class of this grass. it is one Of tine
most valuable native grasses we have, and
about the only one that is perennial.

Mr.. Reed discovered the peach growing on

from the tree with which TO bud a portion of
mis- Seeding trees he has raised from seed this

otherwise, of being freestone. The pulp
is rich yellow, and of very fine grain and
flavor. MIR. Reed regards his find as worth
thousands of dollars to him and great
acquisition to the State. If no name has al
