ATLANTA.
The district of country over which we
passed in reaching this place for the
most part is, as l think, exceedingly
barren. The land has been mostly clear
ed of its timber. the only thing about it
of any value. The soil is of the red clay
and sand order, having scarcely any
productive quality whatever, without
heavy fertilizing. A long and almost
fruitless effort has been made to produce
something on it to profit, but as far as
appearances go, with but little success.

and the young pines starting up over 1t
again. A very cOmmendable thing was
noticed at . good many stations along
the way-nice little parks laid out, and
enclosed and beautified with shrubs and
h9wers. 1t seemed like an oasis in a
desert. Couldn't we have little parks at
our stations '-Quincy, for instance. At
many places the devastating effect of
the heavy rains WAS seen-land over

streams inundating the country on eli
ther hand. The town of West Point in
Georgia, on the Chattahooche river, was
almost completely submerged. The rail.
road bridge across the stream had been
moved out of line by the current, but
considered still safe enough to cross,
which we did very slowly. We arrived
at Atlanta at 2:25 p. m. and took quar-
ters al the Markham House. where we
remained till 80 next day. and then set
out for Our present destination. The
balance of the afternoon after our arri-
val at Atlanta, and a part of the fore+
noen of next day. we spent in looking
over the city made famous by the scenes
enacted and the battles fought around
the place during "the late unpleasant>

The Kirksville PostofIice.

We notice in the Quincy Jour
nal of Tuesday last a numerously
signed petition by the leading
Democrats of Kirksville, and ad-
dressed to DR.. G.. A. Goben, Chair
man of the Adair county Demo-
cratic Central Committee, praying
him to call an election to decide as
who is the choice of the Demo-
Gratis for the POST Office at Kinks
Vile. The chairman refused to
order the election to decide the
matter, whereupon the Democratic
masses fell back upon their reserv-
ed rights and the time honored
usage of the party and have called
an election in spite of the chair
man, to take place tomorrow, May
18th. It seems to us that the re
quest made upon DR.. Goben to
have been reasonable one and
ought to have been promptly COM
piled with on his part. 1t sayors a
little of favoritism and the one
man power, bossism and rlng-rule.
Has Congressman Hatch and a
few bosses predetermined on the
appointment of some one who is
not the choice of the majority OF
Democrats that patronize the
Kirksville Postofice? The meth
cd proposed was a fair one to de-
termine the choice of the party in
this matter and we think theil
wishes in this regard should have
beenrespected. tits democratic an

Foretelling Storm Disturbances.

The repeated fulfllment of Rev.
Irl r. Hichs' meteorological prog
nostications is attracting very con-
siderable attention. He foretold
the Kansas City cyclone, as can be
seen by references to his chart,
and in speaking of its devastating
effects yesterday took occasion to
say that there would be another
storm period this month after the
present one shall have subsided.
The present disturbance Of the ele-
ments that worked SO much dis
aster in Kansas City, he says, is
not over by any means, and may
continue until Saturday unless
storms occur in the meantime,
causing a fall Of the temperature.
After the now threatening trouble
is over there will be no more dan
ger until between the Goth and Both
/ of the month, when Mercury and
Vulcan will have combined their
forces to give this planet another
big blow. According to his calcu-
lations, Vulcan agitates storms
every eleven and one-half days,
Mercury every forty-feur days,
Venus every liz days, and this
planet, the earth, every SIX
months March and September:
J The character and violence OF
these storms depend upon whether
the influences are exerted by one
planet or more at the same time.
Each of the planets named have a
storm period twice in their yearly
existence, and it frequently hap
pens that these events, in the
annual existence of each of them,
all occur at or about the same time,
} causing the most disastrous results
to this sphere. He would not have
been surprised if the storm had
struck st. Louis in place of Kan.
sas City, and it was liable to take
effect,at any point in the storm
belt within the Mississippi valley
. however, the tendency was greater
to tear things up in the west
/, where the wind had full scope and
obtained great velocity in its
: unobstructed sweep across the
, plains, spending its force on ex.
D posed localities.

A Brooklyn judge has refused
to grant naturalization papers to
a anarchists, on the ground that
person holding such views can
not properly take the oath re-
quired of an intending citizen.
The strict legal correctness of
such a proceeding may be open to
discussion, but in point of common
sense there is certainly nothing to
be said against it. Our theory OF
