The Lake Running Dry The Managers In
Nestig igating the Cause

The constant falling of the water in the
lakes AT the soldiers Home has compelled
the authorities of that institution TO seek
water supplies from other sources. The
water in the hi. lake Yesterday morning
was tiftrem feet and six inches below its
maximum height. This failure has been
going on for over a year, and heavy flood
ing rains seem To do little toward prevent
ing it. Various reasons have been suggest
ed for this failure, but II i, generally be
lieved to have been caused by the draining
OF the land west of the lake. Yesterday
the authorities of the Home began the dig
giug OF a we'll or wells. on the King farm.
near the crossing of the Home avenue by
the T. ID. 4 B. railroad. 4 water main will
he laid from the wells to the Home. and
steam power employed to force the water to
It's destination. Dayton journal.

In communication to the Asheylile CITIZEN In
the Spring of 1885, Prof GateheH contributed thes
following, in review of what he wrote in 1869 ::
.Last winter the mercury fell in CASTOR county,
N c. at an altitude Of about 300 feet, to i've below
zero II fell equally low at Atlanta, about degree
further South, with altitude of feet and not
any lower in Cashiers Valley, ~. c., in the same
latitude CASTOR county, but with aitude 7Soo
feet greater. am informed that the minimlW in
AsheYille was the same And the mercury has been
two below zero at augusta, Ga.
It appears then that the climate Of this mountain
region is equabTe inscompsrison nor meTelr with
northernre regions, but with some TO the South and
which are less altitude. The average sum
ner of Asheyile Is II and fraction; that Of Atlanta
is NOT less than 70; that of Augusta not below So
The extreme heat of Asheviile Is not above oof that
of Atlanta is not below roo; that of Augusta tQS
The difference between the extreme cold of last win
ter and the average summer Of Asheyillc was 76s
degrees; between the extreme cold and average

average summer Of Augusta S. The difference be-:

INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES.

Yesterday, the 1st of May, in the
memories OF Gen. Johnstone Jones is
full f inter- esting and abiding recol-
lections. 1t was the anniversary of
the day on which he met, for the
first and last time, the chiefs of the
Confederate government then over
thrown by the force of arms, them,
selves essaying to escape from the
victorious pursuers. Gen. Jones
was guest of Gen. Wallace, at his
residence at Union Court House, S..
c. That gentleman at the time was
a prisoner on parol and his son was
a comrade of Gen. j., both belonging
to Whites battalion of Infantry.
On that day the gentleman com>
prising the Confederate cabinet rode
up to the door of General Wallace's
residence and halted. They were
under the escort of General Fergu-
sons cavalry, and were on their
way to the Southwark. The hospi-
talities of the house were gracefully
and urgently rendered ,and as frank :
ly accepted, the halt however being
only for dinner; that meal was ,ex~
temporaneous, but elegant.
The party consisted of Jefferson
Davis, President of the Confederate
States; John C. Breckenridge. Secre-
tary of war; Judah P. Benjamin
Secretary of State, and Gen. Reagan,
Post Muster General Gen. Braxton
Bragg was also ofthe party.
The demeanor of Mr.. Davis was
quiet, courteous and self possessed.
He was cheerful, and he passed a
part of the dinner hour with the lit
tie daughter of Gen. Wallace upon
his knees, with whom he interchang-
ed many playful words. Mr.. Ben
janIin was bright and cheerful; the
others were quiet and thoughtful.
When the party had dined, they
resumed their ride. Mr.. Davis bade
the ladies and guests a cheerful
good bye;" and as he shook hands
with them he said Il am going across
the Mississippi, and I hope some day
we may meet under more favorable
auspices"
A few days thereafter he was cap
tured. The others made their esq
cape; and their subseqent history is
