DEFICIENT RAINFALL-MAN AND
NATURE.
The remarkable deficiency of
rainfall in this region during 1893
has caused much apprehension here,
lest nature, in the effort to restore
the average, should give us an ex
cessive rainfall in the near future,
causing destructive floods. While in
the long run nature maintains nearly
the same average rainfall for a series
of years, there is no certainty that
she will accomplish that result in a
few months, or even within a year or
five years. As it is a matter of special
interest to this community, Mr. W.
M. Towers, who represents the
weather bureau at Rome wrote to
Mr. Park Morrill, director of the
weather service for Georgia, re
questing his opinion upon the sub
ject. Mr. Mo. rill’s reply which has
been handed to us, is so full of in
formation and interest that we print
it in full, commending it to the
careful attention of our readers.
This letter shows that nature un
locks her secrets only to the most
diligent and most loyal of her sub
jects, taking them into her confidence
after long and patient tutelage at
her feet.
The investigations of Prof. Bruck
ner reveal the periodicity of exces
sively dw eras over the whole earth,
recurring about every thirty-five
years. This indicates some extra
ordinary cosmic influence operating
upon our planet, or perhaps upon the
whole solar system at remote inter
vals. A study of history at such
intervals might be interesting. The
past year has been a remarkable one
in almost every aspect. The unusual
has been the rule. Normal condi
tions in the weather, in crops, in
the mental status of man, have been
altogether overthrown. Both man
and nature have been perturbed and
violent, and it is not straining an
influence to suppose that the per
turbation of nature has had its in
fluence in the restlessness of man.
While we have had drouth and
storm in frequent succession, with
devastation of our coasts, we have
had frequent uprising and ferment
among the people of all lands, and
the financial world has been through
an upheaval such as no man living
has ever seen paralleled.
Looking back from 1893 to 1858,
we strike close upon another panic,
and in the midst of an era of extra
ordinary political excitement. This
may be a mere coincidence, but at
least it is an interesting one. Some
thing has been said about the in
fluence of the Sun spots, which are
visible about every eleven years,
and of the meteoric showers, which
have been observed about every 33
years, all going to show that our
elements are affected by causes that
come in cycles larger than
Long eras of quiet and prosperity
are followed by periods of storm and
stress for man and nature. Upon
all of these we know little, but grad
ually nature seems to be revealing
herself.
The inability of the government
to give a fictitious value, even, to an
ordinary product is well illustrated
in the effort to hold up the price of
silver. In the face of purchases
equaling the entire products of the
silver mines of the country, less the
amount used in the arts and manu
facture, silver declined from an
average of 47 5-16 d. in January,
1891, to an average of 43 3-4 d. in
December, 1891; to an average of
38 3-8 in December, 1892, and to an
average of 32d. in December, 1893.
And as evidence that the immense
purchases of the Government had
little to do with maintaining the
price at all, the figures show that in
November last, after these purchases
had ceased, the average price of sil-
ver was 32 1-4 penc? per oance, as
I against 33 5-8 in October when the
purchases were in force. So it ap
pears that the buying of silver at
the rate of 54,000,000 ounces an
nually did not add three cents an
ounce to its value. —Exchange.

A DISGUSTED CRITIC.
Or course, about living and Terry,
There are many good things to be said
But to my mind, they don't hold a candl,
To the man who can stand on his head-
Then d > a back turn to a table,
And give us a bit of a dance;
Or an act of the Indian jugglers
They had on the Midway Plaisance-
Some people may like to hear Patti
Os course her performance is good,
But give me the song of the fellow
Who slipped up on splitting the wood;
“Papa Wouldn’t Buy Me a Bow wow,”
Or “Brannigan’s Latest New Tile”—
Our crowd think they all lay out Patti
For music and general style.
I got taken in by a train boy:
He sold me a book on the game
As I thought, by a fellow named Howells’
The “World of Chance” was its name.
If I didn’t know no more than he does
And couldn't write better, why l—
l’d just buy a ticket to nowhere
And go there and lay down and die.

HER SOUL IS PURE.
Her soul is pure and sweet and white,

An epic from her eyes.

Read the following from an eminent
physician:
Atlanta, Ga.—Some time ago I had a
well marked case of Bright’s disease of
the kidneys as carefully diagnosed, after
the most thorough, searching examina
tion known to the medical profession. I
tried all the remedies recognized by
standard authorities, but without being
able to relieve a single bad symptom. I
then in despair tried STUART’S GIN
AND BUCHU. The first bottle gave de
cided results. After taking the third
bottle a complete cure was effected. I
