Severe Drought*. An interesting record is that of se vere droughts, M far buck the land- Injr of the Pilgrims. How many thou sand times are observations made like the following: “ Such a cold season !” '••Such a hot season 1” “Such dry 'weather!” or " Such wet weather !” “Sucli high winds, or calms!” etc.,etc. All those who who tldnk that the dry spell we had last spring was tho long est ever known will do well to read the following: In the summer of 1621. 24 days In succession without rain. In the summer of 1680. 41 days iu succession without rain. In the summer of 1 f*."*7, 75 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1662, 80 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1674, 45 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1680, 81 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1694, 62 days in succession without rain. Iu the summer of 1705, 40 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1715, 45 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1728, 61 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1780, 02 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1741, 72 days in •succession without rain. In the summer of 1749, 108 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1755, 42 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1762, 123 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1773, 80 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1791, 82 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1802, 23 days in •succession without rain. In the summer of 1812, 28 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1856, 24 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1871, 42 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1875, 2G days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1876, 27 days in succession without rain. It will be seen that the longest drought that ever occurred in America Was in the summer of 1762. No rain fell from the first of May to the first of September, making 123 days without rain. Many of the inhabitants sent to I England for hay and grain. (Jrunt am! tin* Ex-Con federal***. August a Chronic!*■ iC (■onstitutianalist General Tecumseh Sherman could not trust himself to attend a reunion of Federal and Confederate soldiers at Salisbury, X. hut General Grant, in California is not so squeamish. The following are the Ex-l’resident's words spoken to men who wore the gray : Gent i. km in —lt lias atrorded me great satisfaction and pleasure to ob serve the very cordial reception 1 have received here, and especially the wel come coming from the gentlemen yon represent. If you had traveled around the world, as I have for several years past, you would appreciate, like me, the value of our common country more completely than any man who stays at home. You would be ever gratified to see that we are recognized by all na tions of the earth in a higher light than our own people imagine. Our resources are considered unlimited, and when one gets to see the nations of the world and considers, he begins to appreciate the inestimable vfllue of our broad acres and the great energy of our people that are forever up-building in States and city and town. It affords me great sat isfaction and pleasure to receive gentle men who were long ago opposed to us. and I hope if this country ever sees another war, we shall he all together and under one flag fighting a common enemy. This is a short and sensible speech. Nothing could have been in better taste. Grant is right. Nothing expands the mind more than going abroad. Much of the prejudice and intolerance, North and South, except from professional politicians, comes from ignorance of the world at large. We have no doubt that Grant is, in every respect, a more conservative man than he ever was be fore. Not a particle of bitterness to wards us in bis nature. This is specially commendable, when such distinguished non-combatants as Blaine, Sherman and Conkling are waving ttie bloody banner and evincing a prowess that was conspicuously absent in 1861-65. A Pitiful Sight* Griffin Sun. It is nothing uncommon lor a great •many farmers when they come to mar ket ntler disposing of their cotton or other produce to get on a spree. We 'have often seen this and deeply regret ted the fact, but never did the fact im press us so strongly as did a sight that met our eyes one day last week. A farmer canto t market to sell his cot ton and brought his little boy with him.; After selling his cotton, he visited too; ■often the bar-room, and we saw him \ coming up the street reeling from side *0 side with his son following, though the boy was but about 10 or 12 years old, yet we could see plainly the shame and humility that he felt for his father] who staggered around the street devoid of all pride and respect. It is a de plorable fact that our yeomanry, the backbone and sinew of this country, will so far forget their self-respect and the reputation of their families as to thus throw themselves away and bring reproach on their names.

To allay the fever and lessen the intiammation, eight or ten Tills should he taken night anti morning.
