The Wettest Pl.ice in the World.
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

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?"

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
