How Rain Is Formed.

10 understand the philosophy of
this phenomenon, essential to the
very existence Of plants and animals.
q few facts. derived from observa.
ton and a long train of experiments.
must be remembered. Were the
atmosphere everywhere, at all times.
at a uniform temperature, we should
never have rain. hail or snow. The
water absorbed by it in evaporation
from the yea and the earth's surface
would descend in an imperceptible
vapor, or cease to be absorbed by
the air, when it was once fully satu-
rated. The absorbing power of the
atmosphere, and consequently its
capabhity to retain humidity, is
proportionably greater in cold than
10 warm air. The air near the sur.
face Of the earth is warmer than it
is in the region of the clouds. The
higher we ascend from the earth, the
colder we find the atmosphere. Hence
inc perpetual snow on very high
mountains in the very hottest cli-
mates. Now, when, from evapora.
ton, the air is highly saturated with
vapor-though it be invisible-if its
temperature is suddenly reduced by
cold currents descending from above,
or rushing from higher to a lower
latitude, it's capability to retain
moisture is diminished, clouds are
formed. and the result is rain. Air
condenses as it cools, and, like q
sponge filed with water and com.
pressed, pours out water which its
diminished capacity can not hcld.
How singular, ye, how simple an
arrangement for watering the earh.

The concluding paragraph of a
leading editorial in a late issue of
the Lake Charles Commercial, in
regard to Governor Nichols ap.
pointments, puts the matter peril.
nentIy 10 this shape "This condi.
tion Of things renders it extremely
difficult, if not absolutely impossible,
for the chief dispenser of public
patronage to make any appointment
that will not cause On expulsion of
unfavorable comment and adverse
criticism. Wesre, therefore, disposed
to make great allowances in favor
Of the Governor, knowing the diff.
culties with which he is surrounded.
But, we says it firmly, there can lie
no excuse for a violation of any of
the pledges Of reform solemnIy made
by him previous to his election.
They must be strictly adhered to;
the unity and purity of the Demo:
cratic party depend on their obser-
vance,"

Questions for Il Wife,

Do you recollect what your feel.
ings were Immediately after you had
spoken the first unkind word to
your husband? Did you not feel
ashamed and grieved, and yet too
proud to admit it, That was, ia.
and ever will be your evil genius?
1t is the temper that labors inces.
sanity to destroy yonr peace, which
cheats you with an evil delusion
that your husband deserved your
anger, when he really most requir.
ed your love. 1t is the cancer
which feeds upon those unspeakable
emotions you felt on the FIRST pres.
sure of his hand and lip. Never
forget the manner in which the
duties Of that calling can be fulfilled.
If your husband is hasty, your ex.
ample of patience will chide as we'll
as teach him. Your violence may
ALLEVIATE bis heart, and your neglect
impels him to desperation. Your
soothing will redeem him-your
softness suhdue him; and the good
natured twinkle of those eyes, now
filling with priceless tears, will
make him all your own.

The Action Of Water.

Rain falls 90 silently, and the
waves beat so constantly, that we
are not apt to appreciate their i'm.
mense power and the extent Of the
changes which they effect. But in
all parts of the world water is per-
haps the greatest, certainly the most
incessant and constant agent which
acts on the surface of the globe. In
the north it fulfilIs its purpose by
means Of the huge sheets and noun.
tains Of ice, and as We come further
south We find the annual fall of rain
increases, and with it the extent Of
its power. In some localities be.
tween the tropics we have an almost
constant fall Of rain for some seasons
Of the year, as in the vicinity of the
Knasia Mountains, north of the Bay
OF Bengal, where, during the four
months of the rainy season, between
Eve and six hundred inches of rain
fall, completely stripping the country
OF all vegetable soil, and leaving tho
bare rocks. This condition is, Of
course, ss deplorable AZ the want of
sufficient irrigation. Egypt receiv.
ing almost no rain during the year,
the earth depending upon the annual
overflow Of the Nile, and upon arti.
fetal means Of irrigation; and Pales.
tine, though closely adjoining, be.
cause Of its hills and valleys, being
blest with plenteous rains.

"What My Lever Said.o

The controversy % to the author.
ship of "What Ny Lover Said" is
attracting widespread attention.
The assurance Of Homer Greene in
offering his $4,000 cottage to any
one who could substan tiate q prior
claim has been promptly met by Mrs.
O. c. Jones, of Abbeville, Vermilion
parish, La. Her presentation of the
facts in the case, aside from their
bearing upon the question at issue,
stamps her as a lady Of refined lite.
rary taste. While she may not have
argued her cause ss logically as her
legal opponent, the pleasing, naivete
and unstudied eloquence with which
she protests against the charge of
plagiarism must favorably dispose
the most heartless critic.
And then again there are scintilla.
ions of poetic thought glinting and
glimmering here aud there through
out her letter which could never
emanate from any but a soul attuned
to the concord of sweet sounds
such sweet and tender harmonies as
are found in almost every liue of
that exquisite little poem.
We take it that Mrs. Jones, of
Louisiana, can with much better
grace Law claim to the authorship of
"What My Lover said," than can
Ella Wheeler Wilcox to "Laugh and
the World Laughs With You" The
one is, as Mrs. Jones says, essentially
q woman's poem, bubbling over with
the sweet coquetry of maidenhood,
while the other Is altogether too
manish to have emanated from the
brain of the "Poetess of Passion"
Aside from our natural inclination
to espouse the cause of suffering
womanhood, we fail to see how such
soulful music as is anggested in
What Ny Lover Said," could have
found its way into the prosaic brain
of lawyer. Who ever heard of q
lawyer standing in the "tall wet
grass" in the twilight gloom? And
even If he ever did end himself in
such position, would not the fear
of wet feet and consequent sore
throat preclude the approach of the
divine afflatus? By what incompre.
hensiole stretch of the imagination
could q lawyer bring himself to pen
the line, Il stood and blushed till the
grass grew red." Now a lawyer
may sometimes be induced to talk on
subjects Of which he has but q vague
and shadowy idea, but when he com.
mits his thoughts to paper he Is more
cautious. he generally confines him.
self to matters upon which he is
pretty we'll posted. Therefore, say
all, that while We feel sorry for Mr..
Homer Greene, we are constrained,
in view Of the above state of facts,
to believe that the claim of Mrs. O.
G. Jones, Of Abbeville, VermiIion
parish, La, is we'll sustained, and
that if Mr.. Greene wishes to invest
his surplus cash after deciding to this
fair poetess of the South bis 81 900
cottage, we would suggest Wilks.
Barre as a very desirable place for
a rising young lawyer and littera.

Not long ago Mr.. George II. Daniels, the
general passenger agent of the New Yorl
Central 81 Hudson River Railroad, in ex.
tending an invitation to foreigners to visit
this country, directed their attention tc
the fact that the United States OF
America Is the greatest country on
earth, peopled with sixty million Of the
most civilized and enterprising people on
the globei that the New York Central
Railroad is the greatest railroad on
earth-the only four-track road in the
world that it started from the largest civ
on the continent, passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region, touching
the largest cities in the interior; is the
great trunk line and direct route to that
great cataract, Niagara Falls, and that in
all respects it reveals more of the resources
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
ditons than any other route. There
Is much in the above not only for
foreigners, who want to see this country
under favorable conditions, but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad is
the outgrowth OF a luxurious and prosper
GUS civilization and one of its greatest en-
cheering triumphs. AS Is well known it
is the only line from the west to New York
that lands its passengers in that city
without ferrying them across the North
River. Its spacious and magnificent
station in the heart of the city has
been for years not only the pride Of
New York, but a lasting monument TO the
foresighted liberality and enterprise Of that
great organizer and founder of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad sys-
tenn, Commodore Vanderbilt The limited
trains of this line are the finest in the
world, and its general accommodations for
the travelling public are only known and APP
preciated by that large portion of it who
have been over the line and enjoyed them.
