RECENT COLD WEATHER.

The cold snap of the 2lst, 22d and
I'D Of May, which was very distinctly
marked in a narrow belt extending
from the Mississippi river, at about the
latitude of Omaha, through the States
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia and Virginia to tidewater, is one
Of the most singular meteorological phe-
noplena. The observations of scien-
lists for many years have furnished
strong evidence that it reeurs amid
ally, and extends, to greater or less
extent, over u very considerable part
ofthe northern hemisphere, producing
heavy rosts, ice and even snow storms
of no mean dimensions, in localities
where few days previous the tempera-
ture had been well up in the eighties
and a recurrence Of the icy breath OF
winter was not even dreamed of. AS
to the cause of these unreasonable and
unwelcome boreal blasts, little is as yet
known, although many ingenious
AAlNbAlNS OlOhSAAN AOA " oAN III
explanation. One Of these, which has
received much attention since the dis
cOvery that there are rings of meteOrs
revolving around the sun, some of
whose orbits intersect that of the earth,
is that the depression of temperature
which occurs Annually, with consider
able regularity, in the month of May,
is caused by the interpOsition of huge
swarms Of these meteors between the
sun and the earth, whereby a portion
of the suns heat would be cut of from
our planet.
Mr.. PROCTOR has recently made an
interesting argument in favor of this
theory, but it seems to be open to seri-
Gus objections. If sswarm Of meteorS,
dense enough to cut off q considerable
portion Of the suns heat, passes be-
tween the earth and the sun every May
it should cut off light as well as heat;
but there is no evidence that the cold
spell in May is accompanied b. any
diminution Of sunlight. Besides, there
are certain hot spells which have also
been supposed to recur with more or
less regularity every year, and, generally
speaking, q theory which accounts for
the cold spells ought to account for the
hot spells also. This the meteOric
theory fails to do, for it will hardly be
asserted that there are so many meteoric
swarms between the earth and the sun
that only on few days in each year,
when there happens to be no meteors
in the way, is the full power of the suns
radiation felt upon our globe.
Still, If these spells Of abnormal tenn
perature really occur every year, and
are felt simultaneously all over the
globe, it is difficult to see how they can
be accounted for except on the
hypothesis of a general cause complete
~ overriding the ordinary laws Of
meteorology. There seems to be no
reason whatever for looking to the
earth itself as the source OF these
changes, and the cause producing them

THE SOCIAL ULCER.

The Rev. HENRY TUCKLEY, of Gin
einnati, THE RRelsTER's London ecrre-
spondsnt, says, In his letter to-day,
which will be found in another colur I'm,
that in Christian London there are 3d.
600 prostitutes and $4,000 known
thieves. IL is, indeed, q sad state OF
affairs, that tie social evil should be
allowed to spread in the metropolis Of
the world, but London Is not alone in
this matter. The fallen women who
live in the gilded halls of vice can be
found In every city on the face Of the
globe. II seems to be contagion that
spreads to all climates. No particular
locality is free from this great evil. But
even this is not the worst form OF the
social cancer, that is by degrees eating
the vitals of society.
The sad case at Cleveland few days
ago where young wife died in the act
of preventing the honorable birth of her
offspring is a lesson that should be con-
sidered by every woman in the land. A
physician informs the writer that the
crime of abortion among married wo-
men is on frightful increase. What
is there holy in the sacred bonds of ma
trimony, lift is to be prostituted in
this way? A man and woman had
better never enter into holy union If
they are going to live the lives Of a man
and his mistress instead OF man and
wife.
What pleasure remains in a home
when the wife is determined to
cast aside the ringing cheerful voices
Of the little ones, whom God intended
to brighten the fireside? The cause Of
all this is q desire of mot to be bother
ed with children" If more women
would think less of the frivolities of
shallow society, and pay more atten.
ton to make home happy, there would
be fewer divorce cases on our court
dockets. The crime Of prostitution is
great evil, but the crime referred to,
practiced in 50 many homes is just as
great. 1t is not selfishness alone that
causes this, because the very persons
who practice this abominable crime,
are the ones who, rs a rule, have the
means and would treat their children
humanely, lift were not for the fact
that they would be compelled to slight
society to make home happy and cheer
full, There is no place like home, and
when home is sighted to court the
shallowness ofso-called society; all that
is pure and honorable in the
union of two hearts is lost and there is
nothing left but the misery which will
sooner or later carry contempt and ha-
tired where happiness and love should
reign supreme. The social evil, truly,
is working its way into society in many
forms, and while the metropolis of the
world allows its fallen women to carry
Oh their nefarlous traffic, their crimes,
probably, are no greater than those
which are committed in many of what
are supposed to be happy households.

INDIAN FIGHTING.

No little comment has of late years
been bestowed on the apparent success
Of the Mexican troops in their Indian
campaigns, comparisons unfavorable to
the United States cavalry being COM
mon. That the Mexican troops are
naturally better qualified for Indian
warfare than our regulars is probably
true. Their cavalry is recruited almost
exclusively from among the raquerOs or
herdsmen, whose whole life from early
childhood has been passedin the saddle
and in active outdoor pursuits such rs
tcaming, packing over the mountains
and tending herds of cattle and horses.
These men are also generally recruited
in the States where they serve, and as a
a consequence they have among them
many who are intimately familiar with
the country, knowing all the routes
through the mountains, the watering
places and locations where feed can be
found for their horses. In campaign
through a desert country, broken every
where by almost impossible mountain
spurs and canyons, this is most inn
portant element of success for which
the United States troops have to de-
pend mainly on hired indian scouts.
The Mexican trooper is peculiarly
adapted for the service also because he
is in his native climate and because his
frugal habits enable him to live and
thrive on daily rations that would not
suffice to breakfast a Northern soldier.
A tortRIa and red pc pera day is said
to be satisfactory to a Mexican when
provisions are scarce. But in ad-
dition to all these points Of
advantage the Mexican troops
have also the inspiration Of a deadly
hatred and longing for revenge. AS
stated above they usually serve in the
States In which they are recruited, and
there is not company in chihuahua
or Sonora that does not contain men
whose relatives or friends have been
murdered by Apaches. Thus they have
not only the physical endurance and
skill in mountain woodcraft that en-
ablss them to track and head off the
willy foe, but they have also the venge-
full inspiration so strong in Southern
races, which stimulates them to patient
perseverance, and cunning wstchfulness
in their effort to catch the hostiles at q
disadvantage. And when once such sd-
vantage is gained the Mexicans rarely
show any quarter to warriors. Some
times they even kill the squaws and
| pappooses. OF course this Is a course
not sanctioned in the United States
army, however strong the provocation
may be. Again, the United States
cavalry is largely recruited in cities,
and though hey may be good horse
men and brave enough, they are more
or less out oftheir element in the mount
aims, where they cannot compare with
either Indians or Mexicans in march
ing capacity, endurance or the very
important knowledge Of caring for theil

ONE Of the most remarkable events
Of the day is the fact-fOr fact it I'M
doubtedly is-that there is a large and
steady emigration from Germany into
Russia. No people must understand
the nature Of the Government of Russia
letter than the Germans, lying side by
side with it; and that they should out
of choice prefer that country to their
own, under all the existing circum-
stances, is a problem that would seem
impossible to solve, and to go far in
modifying the reported expressions and
sufIerings ofthe people Of that empire.

WE notice here and there q newspa-
per that talks about the Zine prospect
for corn crop this year" This is all
nonsense. The corn is just peeping out
of the ground, and predictions made
now are about as valuable as those of
WIGGINs concerning the weather. The
acreage of corn planted is larger, per-
haps, than ever before. That Is all that
can be said. AS to the outcome Of the
crop, nothing positive can be determin-
ed until after the MIDDLE Of July.
Many a horse has started well in race
that has utterly failed before the end.
The corn has started well. We have
now been blessed with abundant rain,
and the soil is at present in the best con-
dition to produce a crop. We trust to
Providence for the outcome, but at the
same time all help should be given by
careful tillage.
