How To Forecast rhe weather.

There are many ways of telling what the
weather is to be, and the following, il moi
infallible, is likely to be as trustworthy as
any: When yon wish to know what the
weather is going to be go out and select
the smallest cloud you see. Keep your
eye on it, and if it decreases and disappears
it shows a state of the air that is sure to be
followed by fine weather; but if it increases,
take your overeoat with you. if you are 60
ing away from home, for falling weather
is not far off. The reason is this: When
the air is becoming charged with electricity
you will see every cloud attracting all less
er ones toward it until it gathers into a
shower, and, on the contrary, when the
fluid is passing off, or diffusing itself, then
a large cloud will be seen breaking into
pieces and dissolving.

Convinced of His Mistake.

VIM. 4. Flitcraft, while in Philadelphia
on Wednesday, called at the Z. S. Mint to
convince Superintendent Fox that that in
stitution had paid out to the Woodstown
Bank an unstamped dollar, and to ascer-
tain whether he was willing that the Bank
should retain it. The production of the
coin in question of course satisfied Mr.. Fox
that he was in error in thinking that the
officials of the Mint could not make such a
mistake, and as they were very DESTROYS of
recovering the unstamped piece, Mr.. Fit
craft courteously returned it to them, re-
ceiving a spick, span, new 1880" dollar
in return for it.

A Veteran Tells where the Now Famous
Saying Originated.

n
Saying Originated.
1t was grand scene to ascend the
heights of old Kenesaw Mountain at
night and view the camp fires of the
rebel army encamped to the east, being
led by General Hood on his memorable
and disastrous raid toward the north
and around Sherman's army that lay at
Atlanta, Ga. 1t was in October, 1864,
when Hood sought to drive Sherman
and his army out of Georgia by this
reas movement. He had got back to
the neighborhood OF the stirring scenes
OF old Kenesaw, where the Union
troops had made several desperate as
army had seized the railroad and de-
stroyed it from Kenesaw Mountain to
Atlanta. The command TO which the
writer belonged was camped at the
foot OF Kenesaw Mountain, and we had,
been skirmishing with the Confederates
on the 4th, and captured some prison
ers on the morning of the 9th.
In company with other members OF
the command we assembled the heights
OF Kenesaw to witness the fight at AL
toona Pass, to the north some eighteen
miles. There was on the top of both
mountains station OF the United States
Signal Corps. The battle had opened;
General French. with 5000 Confed-
crates, had surrounded the fort, which
was garrisoned by John NJ. Course and
about 10, ,000men. General French sent
in word to General Course to surrender
and stop unnecessary effusion of blood
General Course replied that he was
ready for the effusion of blood, and il
he wanted the fort he must come and
take it.
The battle opened and was desperate;
the Confederates reached the fort and
the Union lines were thinned by death
and were wavering, when the Seventh
Illinois Infantry, with their sixteen
shooters, came 10 the rescue and re-
pel.ed the Confederate column and
drove it in defeat down the hill with
terrible loss. But while this is going on
General Sherman arrives on top of Ken
esaw and all eyes were turned toward
him - see what the great commander
would do or say at this critical moment.
He approached the Lieutenant of the
signal corps and said: "Tell General
Course to hold the fort, am coming ~
The signal officer had not more than
time to deliver the message until the
signal on Altoona disappeared, and for
II short time deep anxiety prevailed to
know the result OF the desperate strug-
gle that was going on at Altoona, where
were stored n million or moro of ra-
tions. Suddenly the signal corps again
appeared on Altoona and General
Course sent that historic reply: al am
minus one ear and jaw, but can whip
all hell yet" This was too good to
keep and the victory was announced on
top OF Kenesaw and those up there
commenced the cheering which was
caught up by Sherman's army, which
was passing around the base OF the
mountain, and such cheering was never
heard by mortal man. The Southern
hosts had been defeated and the old
starry banner OF the free waved in tri-
umph from the top of Altoona and
Kenesaw, where originated the famous
saying, Hold the Fort. "-E Il. Lee,
