The Moon on storms.

-Four or five storms cross the United States
on an average every month during the coldest
part of the year; sometimes from the Gulf
States, moving in northeasterly direction to-
ward Nova Scotia, while some appear on the
Pacific coast and move easterly to the Atlantic.
The storms usually cover an area of few hun
dred miles in diameter, while all around the
storm fair weather prevails.
With this simple fact, it will readily be seen
that with the same moon and the same alma
nae giving the moons age and place, that
there can be no possible connection between
the moons place and the location OF storm
Long kept records do not show the least rea-
tion between the moon and changes of wealth
er, and only cranks would act the prophet
Some days since in the PRESS, W G. gave an
account of a storm which was predicted to &C.
cur on October 9th, 1865 by one Simpson, sbe
cause the moon was to be on the equator with
some other combinations, and was considered
to be fulfilled, why? Because violent storm
occurred in the eastern part of the United
States Sept. 4, 1868, one month before the time
predicted. Considering that we have in the
country four or five storms month, anybody
can guess storm is ocming and always hit
somewhere.
There is but one moon rule for the weather
"all changes of the weather take place within
three days of the quartering or full of the
MON, and to. those who may find it difficult TO
remember, or comprehend, they can use tho
substitute.
GAN changes of the weather take place
within three days of Sunday" S.

II. Drew, a lawyer, and Constable O. p.
Wheeler, on charge of conspiracy to unlaw-
fully extort money from the plaintiff G. W
Hussey, proprietor of the St. Elmo Saloon. 1t
is claimed that Wheeler called on Hussey and
told him that be (Wheeler) had in his posseq-
sion evidence that would convict Hussey of
selling liquor, but a settlement might be made
and the matter fixed up if Bussey would see
Drew. which, by advice of counsel, was done.
and on payment of $25 to the defendants,
Hussey was given a paper signed by them
agreeing not to investigate any proceedings for
liquor selling now or hereafter The parties
named by the defendants oeny having said
anything to Drew or Wheeler about getting
liquor at the saloon. The charge was sustain
ed by Justice Hagar and the parties allowed

week when they will be placed under bonds to
appear at the next term OF court at Bath.

The mississippi Floods.

ST.. LOUIS, March 5.-The latest news from
the lower Mississippi river is that the water at
Helena is rising at the rate of about half an
inch an hour and it is now thought that the
highest mark of last year will be reached. The
levees still hold and it is believed they will
resist an additional rise.
GREENvIkLE, March 5.--A serious break is
reported in Pastoria levee, Chicat county,
Arkansas, which will inundate all the plan
tations outside lake Chicat except such as are
protected by private leyees. Plantations in
the bed OF the lake are also said to be in dan
ger.
HELENA, Ark, March 5-Fitzhughs levee,
five miles south of this city, gave way last
night. This morning the crevass was over 100
yards wide and was becoming rapidly wider.
The rush of water through the opening was
terrific. The whole country around Oldtown
is believed to be inundated. Other levees are
being strengthened but it is not believed that
they can stand another foot OF water, A
further rise of Is inches is anticipated in which
case nothing can prevent the ihundation of the
country contiguous to Helena. The gauge now
is only inches below the highest point reach
ed last spring. ST. Francis river at Madison is
several inches higher than last year.

IMPORTANT DECISION.


The Supreme Court Decides State Can
not Sue Another State for the Debts Of
It's Citizens.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a decision was render
ed by the United States Supreme Court to-day
in the cases of State of New Hampshire and
State of New York against the State of
Louisiana and executive officers. These were
suits on repudiated Louisiana bonds which the
individual bondholders of New Hampshire and
New York transferred to their respective states
that they might bring original suits in this
court against the State of Louisiana to compel
the latter to fulfil it's obligations. This court
holds that the suits are in effect not suits Of
the States of New Hampshire and New York,
but suits of individual citizens of those States
against another State: that the States of New
Hampshire and New York are merely en-
deavoring to act as collecting agents for their
citizens, and that this cannot be allowed. The
judicial power of United States does not ex
tend to a suit commenced and prosecuted as
these in effect are by individuals against one of
the States of the Union. The action cannot be
sustained and the bills are dismissed The
opinion is by Chief Justice Waite
