some facts About the weather.

The stormy weather still continues. and
is, 1t is needless to remark, subject of con-
yersation everywhere. Old folks say they
never experienced such long period of
stormy weather and lots of grumbling is
done. Just at present the Agricultural fair
societies seem to suffer the most from the
rainfall, but hundreds Of other people have
about given up looking for fair weather. In
this vicinity, in fact, this years weather con-
tinues to be without precedent. 1t was
learned at the United States Signal office in
this city yesterday that there has been this
year, up to, and including the last day of
September, as compared with the normal
for corresponding period in the past fif-
teen years. an excess Of rain fall amounting
to 1853 inches, and a deficiency of 1,152o of
heat Up to, and including the last day of
August, there had been thus far this year a
deficiency of 995e Of temperature, SO that
during the month of September, just past,
there was loss of 1879 of heat. During
the month of September S.22 inches of rain
fell, the heaviest falls being on TIE LIST, the
18th, and the 26th days of the month. On
either of these days more than an inch of
water fell. From midnight to midnight on
the 18th, 205 inches Of rain fell. Certainly
there seems to be some ground for complain

Woman's Indian Association.

The first meeting of the season was held
at Chestnut street yestry yesterday after
noon. The ladies were very glad to welcome
home their president, Mrs. Frye, who has
visited the Indian field since the last meet
ing. She gave very interesting account of
her visit to the Senecas at Paw Paw Reser-
walton, in the southern part of Indian Terri
tory. Mrs. Frye wishes to thank every one
who had any share in sending gifts by her to
the Indians. Everything was acceptable.
One young lady sent out "a work bags, each
containing thimble, needles, cotton and
pieces of ribbon. These were given to as
many young girls. who were made very hap
py by them. Mrs. Frye brought back relics
of interest, and the pictures of many of the
Indian girls, as fair to look upon as are our
own Portland school girls.
Mrs. Taylor's report upon current Indian
news, reviewing the summers work among
the Omahas, Senecas and the Oneidas, con-
tanned much valuable information The lat
ter tribe have very fine Episcopal church
in Wisconsin, which they have been fifteen
years in building. Their domestic qualities
are being cultivated. their needle work is of
the finest, and their cooking is unsurpassed.
There are 1900 Indians on the reservation,
under Mr.. Eells, all civilized, and many of
them will cast their votes this year for the
first time. The old saying, that the only
good Indian is a dead one, has been changed
by Rev. William Taylor to, the only good In
dian is Christian one. The expense of ed
ucating an Indian is less than one-lenth that
of caring for him in pauperism.
