THEa WEATHIER LAST YEAn.-The Charlotte Observer has the following about the weather last year: "Some interesting facts concerning the wveath er during the past year are gleaned frQom the'records of the signal office in this city. .lI appears that the coldest day in the year was January 4th, when the thermomnoter stoods nt 11 above zefo. Tho hottest day was July 12th, t,he thernmiter registeriig 101. The hottest montha of th6 year was' July, the mean teinperature h,eing 79.1, and the. coldest month was February, mean temperatumre 40.09. The total rainfall in the year was 44.24 iches. The grea~test amomont of rain in any monthi was in #tiiy, 8.64 ines, and the greatest ,rainfall on any one day *was on the 80th of the same month, when the fain gauges showed 4.24 Inches. During the year it.rained or snowed on 184 days. The psrevailimng directlior of the wid was from the southwest, and the highest veloetty re coraed was 84 miles per hour. There were Only three snows, which occur red on' the 19th of January, the 14th of F'~ebuary/snd the 19th of November, '~4614't, on the 17th of Februnry. ~he lret" frost during the -present winter icourr'ed on thme 26ith of Sep-. ~Mibi,but was~ not sufleient .to ~jre vegetation. The first. kill )6b4killizgfrst Was on-the 4th of April, destroying bloois of h it - '4'" t~M&UNIOATED.3 ~t noemplet qoh;ess that we have our doubts about thi e0e'dqpey of combining political P)hildofphy and fictiou. However, In this lstance, the writer has displayed great ingenuity in sustaining the in torest, which holds the reader spell bound throughout the story. The author has given us in her book $uprb .spechnens of character-draw ing. llowever, we do not mean to say that her characters are perfect, nor does she seem to aim to make them so. Each has some peculiarity, some conspicn ous thult, which tends to make eaci one impressive. We cannot recollect ever to have so heartily detested a ficti tious character as we did the ill-nat ured, miserly "Mrs. Brown." "Amy Oak ly," though doubtless. intended to be the most unexceptionable person in the book, did not excite our pleasure as did some others. It is a fact that human nature will not take to those unco gude people who are, from their own elevated standpoint of morallty, forever looking doWn upon, and chid ing with pity, . the shortcomings of their fellow-beings. It is remarkable that i1ovellsts invariably endeavor to make their heroes or heroines imnacu late I "Mario," according to our judg mont, is the most pleasing, piquant, natural character of the story. The style of the book is decidedly dramatic, sometimes almost verging ing nto melodrama. The writer has great descriptive powers, and we pre dict for her a successful career. BRUTUS. .- J V810. THE DAY. -Telegrams received from the Brit ish -Con suls in Turkey state that a terrible faiiue prevails in (lie districts of I3askali and layasid in Armenia. The autth''rities are helpless to aid the people, andit1 it is feared that the faiine will become general on the eastern frontier of Turkey. -Governor Colquitt has issued exc cut,ions against Treasurer Renfroe and his securities for about $30,000, which is the amount ofinterest taken by them on the use ofthe stacs milUnlev, alld tines fir the same.

During the past year 400 fall n-les wecre rep)orted, wilth liabilities aggregating $16,883,932, and assets $5,100,083.
