throw another handful of mad cn the great waIl he was constructing before the coming rain arrived, down b the time when Burnside got vet at Fredericksburg, the weather has been subject of conver- sation and serious regard. Astronomers
 had attained accuracy in calculating the fiirtztions of the stars, but no man had with certainty dropped onr the idiosyn- cracies Of the weather urtil the United States government made such study at trartive by congressional appropriation. But general, it is not history but tradi- ton which caused you to politely address us The following observations, gath cred from intelligent farmers, may be re- garded with or without squins of the eye: Snow generally falls in winter or at lcas, during cool weather. When snow drifts towards the south it is safe to conclude that the wind is in the north. If the snow turns and tries to go back, you may with certainty promulgate the intelligence that the wind has shifted. Rain ire quently arrives during cloudy weather. If rain should fall while the sun is shin ing, nursery tradition says that the devil is whipping his wife. Upon this state ment, however, VIC have our. doubts, still, it may be well to investigate the matter. When you see a Guinea nigger" with a frost-bitten foot, make a memorandum to the effect that, unless blind, he must have seen cold weather. A oross-eyed man sees two kinds of weather. By care fully observing these signs you may finally reduce your business to science and yourself to rags.

TO GENERAL HAzRN.

The following letter from General Ha- zen. the chief weather man of the United States, will explain itself. If not, we are not responsible:
 Some time ago wrote ts you asking you for weather data, signs of the times, and so on. The little bits of information which you sent have found to work with unvarying precision. lf you have any thing else. any little signs that may be relied on, please send them."
 Fortunately for the farmers of .the United States, the generals letter was re- oeived just in time, for wewere almost in the act of sending our gathered inSoana- ton to the cxar of all the Russias, having received polite letter from him asking for such contribution. Nov, however, it becomes our duty to comply with Gen. esal Hazsa's request, feeling that all men should favor their own country rltAer than foreign mooarch.

\ MEMBER of the incoming legislature asks if we do not think that a great many of Arkansaws present laws should be re- pealed. Yes. we think so. The law which says that when a rabid dog tears the seat from the pants of peaceful citi- zen. he shall turn around and say tear 'he other part of my wardrobe, should be stricken with bold stroke from the statute books. The man should by law be en- titled to the enjoyable work of killing the dog. There arc other laws, enacted dur ing the hurried proceedings of a stormy session, that should also receive asten- ton. The law which plainly prescribes that justice of the peace should claim eight months service from bridegroom m case he cannot pay the marriage fee, should not remain in force. A man, even though he is married, should be en-
 titled to the work of self-deSenss and the revenge which human nature naturally demands. This law is hardship on the citizen of Arkansaw, for no man hankers after work when he has just been made the husband of beautiful girl. The law which has hitherto requested the man to arise early at morning and male a fire in the cooking stove is . species of 'outlaadishS oppgsssion. As rule man goes to bsd Aas as night, andit is not gen tiemanly b require b maks . 6re when he would much rather spend ths time in wholesome slsep.

The Nish Sk;sgn,shing Fund.
Cincinnati Saturday Night

kNH'N'hAat ~tAA6iNdg tNtbbt..
 It is seven years since the Irish skir- mishing fund was started in New York. It has amounted to over S6o,ooo and no pereeptible effect has been produced on England yet True. there was a rumoi that an lrishman shipped on board a steamer for Europe, some years ago with a cannon fire cracker in his pocket to blow up the house of parliament, but as no report of the explosion was ever heard on this side of the water 1t is presumed that the fuse got wet crossing the briny and refused to go of. Then again. dur ing Engiand's fight in Egypt, three sons of the Emerald Isle embarked at Phiiadel- phia with the avowed purpose of joining the forces of Arabi and thereby over whelming Gen Wolseley. There was much apprehension for a time among people who had friends in the British army, but as the latter proved victorious, 1t IS probable that the enthusiastic Celfs either did not arrive in season, or that they stopped at an Irish fair on their way and expended their superabundant ener- gy in shiiIAlah dispute with some equal ly impulsive fellow countrymen. At any rate, England goes along about the same as it did before the skirmishing fund was inaugurated.
 Brooklyn subscribers to the fund have been indignant for some time about the manner in which it has been handled. They charge that two members of the board of trustees, John J. Breslin and John Devoy, have squandered over Sso,- GOO of the money, and that the oeher trustees neglected their duty in allowing the fund to hll into the hands of these two men. At meeting of the subscrib- CTS tn Brooklyn the other day a commit tee of five was appointed to see Mir. Ford of the hvisk World, who was the prime mover in organizing the fund, and ask him to publish the araignment of the trustees.
 It is painful to consider the number of poor laboring men and hard working ser- want girls who were humbugged into sub senbing to this fund.

 Birds hopped around the jail windows and sang, and lame horse looked over the fence and snorted. The doomed man ascendod the platform without the least show of fear and took his place on the trap with smile that blandly re- quested death to illustrate it's sting and the grave to describe its victory Preach CTS prayed and sang with him in seem ing satisfaction at the powerful work of faith, while the old sheriff. half skeptic, and who enteTtains his own peculiar ideas concerning the rich reward treas- ured up in another world for the glorif- cation of murderers, stood with no show of emotion on his official oountenance.
 'I love everybody" said the murderer, and forgive everybody. Iforgives yer, Mir. Sheriff, fur knows dat yer master do dis piece ob work.'
 "You can use your own pleasure in re- gard to me-" replied the sheriff "It would be an easy matter for me to hire somebody to transact this piece of busi- ness for me, but blamed if I'd take ten dollars for the job"
 "Aint yer afeered ob de hell's fire what's ter come ?" demanded the victim.
 Not excessively" replied the officer. Before was elected sheriff there might have been some danger of my finding a place on the great gridiron, but since my election, and especially since I have hung so many murderers, think that harp as big as church door with fifteen hum dred and sixty raw-hide strings is await ing me"
 ''l will pray fur yer" exclaimed the murderer in the broken accents of pre- mature hallelujah.
 Better pray for yourself And let me give you pointer that you'd better hurry up matters as the time for the per formance is drawing on.''
 The cslored gentleman, despite. the earthly exhibitions of the sheriff. still showed no signs of fear, but asking for a chew of tobacco and receiving it from one of the preachers, he chewed and "spit ambeer" at the sinners around the gall lows The victim declared that he must die with the tobacco in his mouth, and that even though 1t was considered un- healthful to use the baneful weed, he would show his independence. At his request the rope was tied short, declaring as he did that it was injurious to have the neck broken. When the drop fell the feet of the murderer were only few inches below the platform. Although he had welcomed death he kicked vigorously when the trap was sprung and bounded upon the platform. The sheriff gently pushed him of. Again he found foot ing, and again the official launched him into the sea. the other side of which is eternity. But again did the persistent wife killer try to mount the platform, when the sheriff, bracing himself, ex- claimed:
 Eve been very gentle with you thus far, but come up here again and I'll hurt you"
 Thus, with rigid enforcement of the law, the criminal was compelled to re- main down and be hanged according to lay. This may read like pleasant TO- nance, but the whole affair, if not sub lime, is an actual fact.

A sEnsArIoNAL HANGING.

One of the most sensational, as yell as necessarily fatal hassings known b the criminal history of Ariransaw, occurred recently at Wittsburg. A negro con- vicsed of killing his wife was the princi- pal actor. He had lain in jail for several months, during which time he applied himself assidpously n religious work, alternately praying and preaching. He confessed the crime, and declared that he was more than willing to die, yea, anxious to leave the wicked world and to walk on the streets above where gold and diamonds glitter in the light of eternal sunshine. As the time for the execution of his sentence drew near, when the work of erecting his scaffold proceeded in full view of his cell, he noted the progress with evident pleasure, and even expressed a fear that the ignominious piece of arch lecture might not be finished in time for the performance. On this point, how ever, the sheriff allayed his fears by as suring him that if the work were not com pleted in time for the event as advertised, the hanging would take place at the

 After the abolition of slavery the old man went away, having taken my fathers advice in the matter. He leA with the understanding that the cabin he once oc- cupied should be reserved for him, that no one should occupy it during his ab- sence, and that he would return with each succeeding cotton picking season and help gather the crop. We did not know where he went, but when the leaves began to turn brown he came back, bringing with him the old banjo which he had owned since childhood. No one ever knew him to perform upon the in- strument until Christmas eve, when he would begin and play with occasional intermissions until the day after Christ mas. Then he would tie up his banjo in a long hemp bag. We did not allow any one to enter his caBln. Many and many time, when the summer had died away and the cool air come, have gone out and looked at the leaves to see if old Samuel were due. lie always came on time. The coming of the brown leaves never found him absent. He was the best cotton picker in the country, and as he always had rich ssovies and curious and oddly colossd incidsnes se ssassA h arrival was always hesalded by shouts q welcome, for every 6eld handin the com, munity knsw him.
