A CELESTIAL SPECTACLE. ?Q the Night of November 14 the Heavens Will be Lit With Thousands of Meteors. Oa the oight of November 14 ooe of I the grandest spectacles ever offrred by j the heavens will be witnessed hero in i the form of a great fail of meteorites. They are known as Lsoaids and their dazzling performance, which occurs i an ly once in every thirty-three years, wiit be plainly visible from Charleston, p Ia this wonderful display the meteor j ites will toaeh the atmosphere of the earth and become ignited by the rapid ity of their flight. Millions of them 1 will fall and they will appear as daz? zling globes of multi-colored flame The face that they ignite and dissolve on contact with the atmosphere is all that savss the earth from destruction. Scientists all over the world are raak log elaborate preparations for observing the appearance of the Leonids. This century has been the first that astrono? mers have discovered the oaase of the great November meteoric shower It .was Tempel who foood that the Laoo ids are fragments of a former comet. Reckoned by the ?garas of the heav? ens the Lsonids are bat iofaots. According to Prof Simon Newcomb Tetnpel's comet bas been dead ooiy i thirty-three hundred years. The caose of the explosion was the heat generated 'by the rate at which the comet revolved y*ss-?L4ore through space. The sight, as the great fiery body borst into a million molten fragments, most have been grarfa and awfoi beyond " the powers of bunao comprehension. But for the fragments- of the burn? ing body there could be no rest. Tfc^ visible bot relentless forces which drew the larger body through countless ages > elong a certain path were st work also among the shattered flying parti?les. They fell into line. Tbs fragments forged to the froot and the smaller particles fell io bebiod for a million miles and more. The unending jour ? ney. interrupted for a while. wa9 takeo op agaio along the old path The eoorse of TempePs comet, and of ita subs?quent fragments, completely encircles the orbit of the earth, touch? ing it at one place only on its oater edge. Ooce only in thirty-three years .does Tempei's comet complete is orbit, and once ooiy do the fragment of "the dead comet, myriads in comber, trail across the orbit of the earth. Wheo this does happeo, however, millions of i these particles are drawn from their orbit and fall into the atmosphere * - " of the earth with ao effect which dazzles the spectators. The single meteor or meteorite that makes when it strikes the earth's atmos phere the so called shooting star is a mere tramp of the beavens. It is a detached fragment of some shattered placet, and it wanders more or less at random through space catii it comes within the circle of attraction of some larger body, wheo gravity causes it to j fall. Io the coarse of its descent through the atmosphere the meteorite generates so mush heat that it is entire? ly consumed ; the meteor, beiog larger, continues oo and strikes the earth. Occasionally the heat generated by | . the meteor is so great it bursts before ! coming to contact with any solid sub? stance. Io such a case it is termed a fire-bail. Bot neither the single meteorite nor the meteor cao be ob se rv ed by the telescope or by the naked eye except at the brilliant moment of its death." Bot the comet ts a oreature of the skies mora to be reckoned with Erratic as its waoderiog may seem to the unlearned, io reality its pursue?? a definite coarse among the more regular ! orbits of the stars. The length of the orbit which it travels varies from the comparatively small distance of a few hundred millions to one that reaches into the thousands of billions. The time which different comets take io completing their orbits vari?os from three and a half to a hundred thousand years The preciseness of astronomi? cal knowledge is such that the exact rate per second of the movement of these bodies cao be determined and the j time at which they wiii arrive at any giveo poiot of their orbits cao be pre? dicted to the secood. Regarding the approaching caetoric display Prof. William A Harkness, who is io eharge of the astronomical department of the United States Gov eroment Naval Observatory, said : "We are unable to predict the exact hour at which the November meteoric showers will begin. From the bes: j present estimates i: may be expected j that the showers will reach a maximum j at 1 a. m. on the morning cf the 15:b ! of November They will probably < begin three or four hours earlier than j this to fall in small bursts. They will continue throughout the corning of the 15th of November and will bs more or less observable du.iog the evening'' and mcrciogs of the 15:h, 16th and 17th of November, although on each puoceed jog day tho number o: meteors observ? able will diminish. "These meteors and meteorites vary io weight from a fe^ grains to many pounds. They strike earth's atm) - phere at a height of 74 miles and begin to boro, being entirely consumed when they are at height of 50 miles. "The phenomenon of a gr--?ai mete i oric shower i* generally perfectly noise- j les9 one When the streak is first ? formed it is narrow and perfectly straight, bot soon becomes serpentine | j aod assumes an irregular figure as it ; drifts along under the ir fluence of the ; wind currents in the upper region of the atcjcspoere.

"Many valuable results wili no doubt be gained from this year's observations. This will be the first time in their history that the Leonids will be the centre of a systematic observauoo throughout the world." The Cotton in Sight. New Orleans, Oot. 27.-Secretary Hester's weekly New Orleans ootron exchange statement shows a decrease io the movement into sight compared with the eeveo days ending tbis date last year, in round figures, of 103,000 ; a decrease under the same days year before last of 167,000 For the 57 days of the season that have elapsed the aggregate is behind the 57 days of last year 346,000, and behind the same days year before last 146,000. The total movement for the 57 days from Sept. 1 to date, 2,612,441. against 2,958,382 last year and 2,758,748 vear before last. The movement since Sept. 1 shows receiots at all United States perts 2.770,156, against 2,177,621 iastyear. interior stocks io excess of those held at the close of the commercial, year 331.815 against 399,768 last year and 317,346 year before last. Southern milt takings 351,611, against ' 228,815 last year. Foreign exports for the week have b?eo 201,344, against 304,451 last year, making the total thus far for the season 1,158,019, agaiost 1,221,082 last year. The total takings of American mills, north and south and Canada, thus far for the season have been 639,972, against 493;639 last year Stocks at the seaboard and the 29 leading south? ern interior centres have iocreased dur ing the week 40,871 baies, egaiest an increase during the coaresponding pe? riod last season of 144,890. Including stocks left over at ports and interior towns frcm the last crop and the number of bales brought into sight thus far for the new crop, the supply to date is 3.231.239, against 3,225,948 for the same period last year. A good deal has beea said about the failing eff of cotton receipts this year at the ports of Savannah and Charles* ton, and it is to be accounted for not aioae by the short crop, bat by the in? creased consumption of southern mills. No better thing could occur for the farmers than for the mill demand to consume all the cotton raised in aoy lo? cality. It means quick sales and bet* ter prices, and it means the fixing of prices at home, and cot in Liverpool. A correspondent of the Atlanta Con stitutioo writes : The showing made by the south Car? olina mills is very gratifying, bot many, oo doubt, will be surprised to learn that the local mills of North Georgia and Alabama will spin this year ali the cotton grown io this sec? tion. Rome hts been the shipping point for section ic Georgia and Alabama em? bracing some twenty counties Most of this cotton heretofore has been export? ed Rome so far this season has ship ped no cotton, but the local buyers have paid from 1 4 to 1 2 a cent above New York prices, and all the cotton has been taken by the local mills. Parties who have investigated ic aod I are well qualified to judge, state that the rniih at Gadsdeo. Piedmont, An t oiston, Cedartowo, Rockmart, Rome, Lindale, Trion, Raccoon, LaFayette aod Dalton this year spin ali the cort?n raised D?rth of these points to the Ten? nessee line-some 225,000 bags.

Again, wheat is strictly and truly surplus crop, for it does not interfere i tbe least with the cultivation of otb? crops. I sow about four acres of wee: to the plow, and ? make about as moe oom and cotton as do my oeigbbo; who sow no wheat at ali. I have ot served that this rule applies to all wb make their own bread Invariabl they make as much com?aod cotton i do their neighbors who depend upo converting their reoeipts from cotto into bread Also they have the satii faction of knowing that they have poi food on their tables One of the reasons why so man people fail to make wheat is because < a-eding too heavily. Iiis my esper enoe that one half bushel to tho acre I enough fer any laod in this region, properly pat io. B7 being properl put in, ? moan that the land should t thoroughly plowed and pulverized, th manure scread on the grain, and tb grain covered to a depth of no mot than one incb. Wheat covered to tc great a dspfh will nevsr stoop we and, therefore, it catto ot make a goo crop. Another cause of failure is too lat poding.

Af er selecting good iaod aod put ting it in good by sowing peas an turning them uoder, the next thing th farmer should look to is tbe seed, fo whioh be ought not go out of bis owi latitude. Northern wheats have to b acclimatized before good yields can b expected from them.

Brumby is a splendid fellow-a fine officer, a staunch sailor, and a good fighter. All this is not surpris? ing io view of the fact that he comes from good old South Carolina stock Mr Josi E Brunson, of Sumter, S C., writes as follows to The Newe and Courier : "While popular enthusiasm is run? ning high over Dewey, Brurahy and j Mehrtens. it may be pleasing to !

The i roiginal Brumby ?amily, now o? \ Georgia, belongs properly to the old 'Game Cock District' of this State " We hope that our Georgia friends and contemporaries will remember that "the original Brumby family" belongs to South Carolina, and that Sculb Caroliua is in the present Brumby demonstration by priority j of Brumbys, as it were.
