for fistula. Mr. Buckner stood several
feet in front holding the end of the halter,
two others stood close to the head, one
holding the bridle and the other a cord
twisted on the nose. Just as the het iron
was applied, the male jerked loose from
the two holding its head, about faced in
donbleqnick time, and let drive with its
heels, hitting Mr. B. square in the face,
flattening his nose and patting one eye
in deep mourning. It took Mr. Back-
ner about twenty minntea to ascertain
where ho was, or what had happened.
Upon coming to he had hia nose straight

to Bend for a doctor, aa he thought it

HOW YISHE8 AND FROGS ARB SOME
TIMES RAINED DOWN.
Occasionally a correspondent writes
that living or dead frogs, and little fishes
always with life extinct—have fallen
from the clouds daring a violent thunder
shower, and each announcements have ureB
always elicited incredulity and ridionle,
notwithstanding the personal assurances
of the Senior that in the course of hiB

fall in that way during a violent rain,
hail and thunder storm. Below will bo
found a statement, gleaned from the New
York Sun of last Friday, whioh very
clearly and satisfactorily explains how
such creatures were drawn into tho rain-
clouds, and how, in consequence, they
would come down with a rain discharge
of the heavy amount of water drawn up
with them in a water-spout:
WATERSPOUTS ON THE HUDSON AND ON THB

At twenty minutes before 12 o’clock on
Wednesday morning, the water of the
Hudson, about a quarter of a mile from
Sing Sing shore, was agitated in a peon-
liar manner. Ashore there was hardly a
breath of air stirring, and nowhere else
on the river was there any commotion.
Presently a large gray cloud drifted
'across the Bky, and, hanging nearly oyer
the disturbed water, began to bulge
downward toward the river, and after a
few seconds a thin thread of water shot
up from the agitated surface and entered
the cloud. The stream grew larger
and larger until its diameter WAS about
twice tbat of a hegshead. The cload

The reanls of these figures ia a total or
5,073 S3X bales as the Crop of the United
St«tea for the year ending August 81
1879, Id thus appears that lhe tanning
weekly statement of rhe marketing of the
crop hus been made more complete and
mil the past season than ever before, the
corrections* in preparing the xrop report
being smaller than for any other year
within our record.
CONSUMPTION.
The past year has* been a truly memo
rable one in cotton spinning as well as
ootton raising. .Unfortunately, the
nature of the crisis the world wa3 pass
ing through was net generally nnder*
stood, so* that each succeeding month
has proved an increased disappointment.
Our readers may avoid a aimilar expe
rience tne present season by accepting
the lesson taught, and by refusing longer
to bopeTor a consumption based on the
old conditions.
The troth is, late events have given
now proof of tba important -fact that
there are too many spindles in the world
for them all to find profitable employ
ment. This condition will not last, bnt
enforces a period of rest until the ca
pacity to oonsnmo goods shall overtake
tbe capacity to spin. The breaking ont
of onr war and tbe blockading of the
Southern ports added sudden wealth to all
other ootton prodnoing oonntries, while in
the Uuited States, under the infiaenos of
rising paper values, there was seemingly
marvelous growth in wealth. Here was
rematkabls development of purchasing
power, qusckly exciting nn "unnatural de
mand for European manufactures. As
tno war olosed, this stimulating proces
reoeived anew impulse through the many
millions borrowed by us in Europe and
reokleasly and lavishly thrown buck there
for European products to feed the ex-
travsganoe the borrowed money fostered.
Under these conditions cotton epindles
noreased so rapidly that sgatnet a con
sumption of about 1,705,400,000 pounds
1866 67 they had reached a capacity
1878 of about 2,400,000,000 pound?, or
about 4} million bales, of. 400 lbs. each,
1867 against about six million bales
the same weight in 1878. Further
more—and thi3 is tha most important
total prodbcli6tiiCBlnr*AmAA 1 b.‘^»—-i~
forced trade), every European oountry
together with tho United States and
India having become opartnara m toe
work. And now our panic, whioh fireb
took the ma»k off here and subsequently
disclosed the unreal in Europe as well,
has left Great Britain to divide up the
normal consumption between herself and
ner new partners; not so much that any
of these countries have become exporters
of goods sb that tney have curtailed
England’s exports by supplying to a
greater extent their own consumption.
Even this very season Bussife has in-
created her takings of cotton about two
thousand bales per week, which simply
means so muehleBB demand on Man
chester from Rossis. „
It will be seen from the foregoing fig
ures that the Chronicle planes under the
head of “overland and Southern con
sumption" 626255 bales, against 465,620
bales for the crop of 1877-8-ahowing an
unlooked for excess of 160,635 bales I In
the crop of 1876-7 these items were set
down at 447,282 bales. In the crop of
1876 6 they made a total of 478,146 bales
In the crop of 1874-7 they aggregated
355,822 bales. Henoe we were wholly
unprepared for this enormous excess, and
in onr guess at the crop allowed only
half a million bales for overland and
Sonthem consumption whioh, it seems,
was 126,255 bales short.

would never do for ns to bs a prince royal,
and have to court a girt in the presenes of

being a prinoe, and no young American with
anvsand in would take the position and
