The Town Sites of Tombstones.

The little Arizona town of Tomb stone seems, in the light of an opinion of the Acting Attorney General of the United States, to have been happily named. The point of the decision is that while the owners of corner lots in Tombstone have the right to their occu. pancy and enjoyment, the enterprising miners who pre-empted them are en- titled to dig and get at the bonanzas beneath their cellars. One thing, how ever they must not do-namely, destroy the Tombstone boulevards. This is good law, althoughIt 1t may seem to be a little on the Shylock order of things.
 If in the course of mining events Tomb stone should tumble in some fine morn ing it's ominous name will have peeu- liar significance.

 The poor wife tottered step or two toward her daughters room, and fell swooning at the threshold. Mildred opened the door and her deep pallor showed that instead of sleeping she had heard words that would leave scars on her memory until her dying day.
 "The poison you demand is there, |" she said brokenly, pointing to her bureau. "After mammals appeal I need not, cannot speak," and she knelt beside her mother.
 Her father rushed forward and seized the drug like one who is famishing. Mildred shuddered and would not see more than she could help, but gave her whole thought and effort to her mother who seemed to be dyinss After few moments, to her unoounded surprise, her father knelt beside her and lifted her mother to lounge, and with a steady hand and gentle, considerate manner sought to aid in her restoration. His face was full of solicitude and anxiety-indeed, he looked almost the same as he might have looked and acted year ago, before he had ever imagined that such demon would possess him. A friend of the family came in and could scarcely believe his eyes. The unconscious man, whom he had at that time the previous day believed dying, had his children on his lap and was caressing them with every mark of affection. Although he still appeared very much of an invalid and his complexion had a sallow, unnatural hue, it was difficult to believe that twenty -four hours before he had ap- peared to be in ertremais.
 This was his last struggle from that time forward his career was steadily downward, ending in suicide.

Causes of Rainfall.

The following are given as the prin- ciple causes of excessive rainfall by Prof. Ellis: 1. The meeting of the northeast and southeast trade winds, re- sulting in great rain-belt surrounding the globe. 2. The irregular barometric depressions of the middle attitudes. The average track of great barometric depressions is not as distinctly marked by an excess of rainfall as might be ex- pected; nevertheless storm tracks ex- hiblt tendency to incline toward dis tricts where the rainfalls are unusually great; e.g., Newfoundland, Iceland, caast of Norway, North Italy, etc. 8. Mountain ranges causing increased rain fall on the side from which the preva- lent wind proceeds. 4. Proximity to the ocean, especially when theprevalent wind comes from the ocean; e.g g., Vest ern Europe; eastern coast of South America, Africa and Australia. 5. Capes and headlands projecting consid- erably into the ocean generally receive greater rainfall than neighboring dis tricts; e. Cape Hatteras, Newfound- land, southeast coast of Ireland and England, Cape of Good Hope, etc.
 The causes of deficient rainfall are thus summed up l. A nearly uniform direction of the winds throughout the year, such as prevails within portion of the system of the trade winds, especi- ally in mid-ocean, and to some extent over the continents e. g., Ascension Island, the Sahara, Southern California, South Africa and Australia. 2. The prevalent, wind, having passed over a range of elevated mountains, descends upon the leeward side @. g., desert of Gobi, Tartary, Chili North America, east of the Rocky Mountains, central portion of Spain, etc. 3. Ranges oi mountains so situated as to obstruct the free movement of the surface winds to. ward central region e. g., desert oi Gobi, Tartary, Southern California, Salamanca Tn Spain, etc. 4. Remote ness from the ocean measured in the direction from which the prevalent wind proceeds. There is marked di. ! intuition in the mean Annual rainfall as we advance eastward from Western Europe. A similar effect is noticeable in many other parts of the world, but is generally complicated by the combin
 ation of other causes. 5. High latitude, Beyond the parallel of 60 degrees N. latitude, at a little distance from the ocean, the mean annual rainfall seldom much exceeds ten inches and there arc apparently regions of great extent 1T Asia and North America where the an
 nual rainfall is less than ten inches.

The Fitz-JOhn Porter Case.
GENERAL GRANTS LETTER TO THE PRES
 IDENT.


 Gen. U. s. Grant has written the fol- lowing letter to President Arthur:
 "At the request of Gen. Fitz-John Porter, I have recently reviewed his trial and the testimony furnished before the ScoAeld court ot inquiry held in 1879, giving to the subject three full days of careful reading and considera- tion and much thought in the interven- ing time. The reading of the whole of this record has thoroughly convinced me that for these nineteen years have been doing gallant and efficient sol. dier very great injustice in thought, and sometimes in speech. feel it in- cumbent upon me now to do whatever lies in my power to remove from him and from his family the stain upon his good name.7 feel this the more incun- bent upon. me than Idshould if had been acorps commander only or occupy ing any other command in the army than the one which I did; but, as Gen. eral, had it possibly in my power to have obtained for him the hearing which he only got at later day; and as Pres dent.I certainly had the power to have ordered that hearing. @
 "In justification for my injustice to General Porter I can only state that shortly after the war closed his defense was brought to my attention, but I read it in connection with sketch of the field where his offenses were said to have been committed which now see, since perfect maps have been made by the Engineers Department of the whole field, were totally incorrect as showing the position of the two armies. have read it in connection with statements made on the other side against Genera Porter, and am afraid possibly witf some little prejudice in the case, al though General Porter was 8 man whom personally knew and liked before but I got the impression, with man, others, that there was @. half hearted support of General Pope in his cam paigns, and that General Porter, whij, possibly not more guilty than others happened to be. placed in position where he could be made responsible fo his indifference, and that the punish ment was not severe one for such al offense. am now convinced that h rendered faithful, efficient and intelli l gent service, and the fact that he wa retained in command of a corps flo months after his, offenses were said t have been committed, is in his favor. | "What would ask in General Pol ter's behalf from you is that if you ca positively give the time, that you giv the subieet the same study and though that l have given it, and tben act as you l judgment may dictate. But, feelin that you will not have the time for sue an investigation (for it would take SC, eral days time), would ask that tn whole matter be laid before the Attorney General for his examination and opir ion. Hoping that you will be able do this much for an officer who has SUI fered for nineteen years a punishmer that never should be inflicted upon an but the most guilty, am, very truly yours, .- U. s. GRANT"

soldier breathless, always i'm a

While in the same action, he has

and more of the work in hand,

Take All instance from the late
war against the Zulus: where we
had mostly young soldiers, with
only a sprInkIing of old ones.
There "fu nix" reigned universal
with young and old. There il no
