UOUNTRY NEWPAPERs.-Under the above vaption, the Philadelphia Times, I a journal of unquestioned excellence, I has the following to say in reference I to the value of a local newspaper to the i section it represents. The article lsi full ,of sensible logic and carries :with it the force of truth. The TIm6e4-ays 6 The country newspaper is thi Mfost useful and least compensation of all the agencies which stamp the impress of progress upon villages and inland cities. Without the aid of local news papers local towns are, as a rule, thriftless-ani0ead. It is common for small great men tq speak with con tempt of the locat newspaper, but the village newspaper makes more great men out of less material-more bricks without straw-than any other factor in politics, and Iim the one ladder on 1 which muen clinpn4olocal dist inction as the beginning of -wider fame. The ad vent of the local newspaper has always dat,1kd the increased thrift of the coin in y The local newspaper is the life offte locality, and the measure of its support, as a rule, measures the ad vancement of the people. Not only subscribe but pay for your local news papers. They are the friends and help metes of all sensorns. Ti-E PREVAILING CYCLONES.-TheI New York Herald has been called on by a correspondent to explain the fre quency and violence of cyclones which were comparadvely so rare a few years back. In its reply the Herald attrib ites the disturbances to the atmnospher * Ic influence of waves of polar air com ing into contact with the warmn air from the gulf, and says the stripping away of the forest increases the proba bility of such occurrences because they t allow the atmospheric waves to cross the continent wit h-mt being tempered, as they formerly were, by being com pelled to force their way through dense forest which hindered them. This is njot a scientific or minutely ac 'nrate account of the Herald's theory. blut is the gist of it shorn of all the long words an( circumlocution. The Herald does niot suggest a rem "dy and neither has anybody else. A bout the only hope seems to be the digging of pits in every muan's yard so Ihbat his family may have a hole to "rawi into when the rush comes. THRoUGHI THlE SENJATE AGA IN. C'ol. James L. Orr received the follow ing telegram from Senator M C. But ier, yesterday, in regard to the pro.f posedl Unitedl States Court House WASHINGTON, 1). 0..( Mlarch 3r-d, 1884. To James L,. Orr : Bill for public building at C(reenille has just passedl the Senate. Senator Butler has been e'xceedlingly energetic in pushing the hill and the iterest which he hais manifested in the mea'sureJ' ini(lcates t hat he' is fully iimpJressed with its urgency' As will he remembered, the bill passed he Senate at the last sessionm of Con gress, but when it got to the louse it was buriedl and relegated to the bottom amridlst the general crush. It is hoped that Mr. Eums and t.:e other South Carolina representatives will samv it from a similar fate this ear. The ncessant efforts of Mr. EvIns and those who will aid iun may therefore give us the "Pub Ic Building" for which we are yearn ng with an intensity begot$on of the mxpectation. which recent struggles !or the bill have excited.--bally News.
