THE RAINING TREE.

We witnessed Ut Bay st. Louis
last Monday evening quite u re.
markaLle phenomenon. Standing
in the backyard OF the Crescent
Hotel is a largo mulberry tree, from
which there IL constantly falling a
mist sufficient to produce moisture
on the ground for fifteen or twenty
feet around the tree. The attention
of Capt. J. V. Toulme, proprietor
of the Crescent, vas called to this
strange phenomena by a servant,
who stated to Capt. Toulme that he
discovered the raining tree some two
weeksagO; aud, during The drought
through which wehave just passed,
when all the earth around vas per-
fectly dry, and not a cloud to be
seen, mist from this tree was con-
tinually falling day and night. We
witnessed it by moonlight in COM
pany with Captain Toulme, Judge
Terral, District Attorney Neville,
Mi. Gaylord B. Clark, Ed. Watkins,
Levert Clark and several others
whose names we have forgotten, all
of whom understand the science of
law, but not sufficiently versed in
the other sciences to account for
this mysterious rain falling, appa-
from the tree.

We have been informed that
Chancellor McLaurin has made the
INDUCTION perpetual in the Jesse Ball
case. IL will be remembered that
he was selling whiskey by the gal.
Ion under Y license without comply.
ing with Section 6 of the Local OPP.
ton Law. The effect of the Chan.
cellor's decision is that q petition
is necessary to obtain u license to
sell by the gallon. Mr. Ball did
not take out license until he had
the opinion of the Attorney Gener.
al, that . petition was not neeessa-
ry. Somebody is wrong, as there
seems to be a conflict of opinion be.
tween the Chancellor aud the At.
torney General. The opinion Of
the Chancellor is the law, however,
so far as this case is concerned.

PROGRESS.

Two principles govern the moral

pctual progress, the other the nee.
essaFy limitation to that progress,
II the former alone prevailed, there
would be nothing steadiast aud

social life would 10 the sport Of

The best ages of the world are
always those in which these two
principles are the most equally
balanced. 10 such ages every en-.
lightened mar ought to adopt both
principles into his whole mind and
conduct, and with one hand develop
what he can, and with the other
restrain what he ought. 1t has been
said that slime is the greatesto of in

to be the greatest of improvers.
