The r.iin'all at Clii'rr.ip'injri, a small InditMi ttdtion in bouilnv- st Assam, is believed to exceed that of any other known place. Cher rapungi occupies the summit of one of the Khasia hills, at an ele vation of 4,100 feet. The hills rise abruptly from lotv plains, and lie directly in the course of the southwest monsoon from the Ben gal coast. Surcharged with mois ture, the air currents sweep across the lowlands and are deflected up wards by the hills, the expansion of the currents on rising causing a fall of temperature and condensa tion of moisture. The effect is surprising, for while the low plains have jn averajre yearly fall of about 100 inches of rain, tlip an nual rainfall of Clierrapungi i oil." inches or more than 41 feet. A a comparison, it may lie stated that the annual rainfall of the United States is fiom twelve to fifty inches, being greatest near the seaboard. t The Boston" Post waxes sarcas tic and says: Grant his had hull pups, last horses, Jersey cows, houses, house lots, fat purses of money, two terms of the Presiden cy, a bank Presidency, "a Mexican land grant given him, a house full of trinkets from the Stin.li or Persia, the King of Siam, andfrotn empe rorst empresses, queens, lords, dukes, barons, counts, and "Wall street brokers! and now the senate of the United States has voted to make him General of the army with a fat salary. "Why not de clare Grant to.be the gratid high cockalorum of the universe and do'no with, it? The' Democratic senators who.voted.to make him jreneral ot" 'the armvwouldsdoubt- ies do giauuo uoitnai ineycouiu in this direction. His salary should not bo, less than i 1 0,000, 000. , , ; Up tov this year of our Lord, it has been the custom that when the grave in its mercy closed over all that Twas mortal of a. man, the hounds of the opposition stopped barking and gnashing their fangs. It remains for the ear . SS2 to witness and for a Christian statesman of California to cause an attempt to dig up the. ods from the coffin and disturb the dead. -General Rusccrans may be a brave man; he had a chance to piovt it "once and failed; but in his present attempt to throw obloquy on the dead President Garfield he betrays sorae-n the most prominent char acteristics of being what plain spoken men would call 'a dirty coward." If the inhabitants of any por tion of the present Terriior of Dakota propise to set up for them selves and dissolve all the rela tionship which connected them with the rest of the Territory, they should leave the name with the people from whom they are asi nis to secede. If there be existing a State or Territory of Dakota, an other Territory called also Dakota, with the prefix North, is cert .inly unnecessary in a country so pro lific of names as the one we inhab it. Let the Dakota seceders or dividers select a new name for their bailiwick. There are enough certainly within and without the dictionary from which to choose. The widow of Daniel Webster has just died at the venerable age of eighty-five, in the thirtieth year after the death of her distinguished husband. She was married in 1829, and was the wife of the grand New England statesman for twenty-three years. In 1852 she lived in the strictest retirement at New Rochelle, N. Y., seldom ap pearing in public except in con tributing to her husband's memory intbt sMinnof rt- -nt f ... .Hw- uv ....... - -.. v..H....j v,. the opinions of u.idi he wasthe.SMM0 OTandest omnnunt granaest exponent.

The suffering millionaires of New York and other cities are sending in petitions by the ydrd in favor of the repeal o! the tax on bank checks. Di 1 anybody ever hear of these men making serious protest against the average tariff tax of more than fifty per cent, which the agricultural com munity and the working peopl of the country are paying each i in order to fill the never-sat si J maw of "projection?" The losses by the Michigan for est fir . last y:ir, so far as th have been asccrt lined by apptais d. amounted to$2,.)46,013,and losses that have never been reported or sworn to will, no djubt, agjjreg.itt a very large sum more. The tot.il relief fund thus far collected i& estimated at about 1,000,000, ail 'through private hands. It is a splendid showing for the synipi thcti; generosity of our people.
