Two sad deaths took place be-
tween my own farm and that of
Mr. G. Vanderbilt, and some fear
was at the time, early last month,
apprehended both by Mr. V. and
self that this feud would grow up
on this side of the French Broad
river, rivalling the well known
and historical Mellin's Food so
fully illustrated in the magazines
of our day.
It was dusk along the mighty
river, and as night settled upon
the April beauty of this great pic-
ture of valley aud glen and farm
and blockade whisky a little band
of pee-wees were trying to cross
the low-tide boulevard. Two
lonely horsemen riding the same
beast were also noticed.
I do not write this because of
its freshness as news, but to show
how cheap assassination and other
industries have become. Twenty-
five turkey shot No. 2, with a few
grains of powder wadded with a
half column of the Gleaner, on
which could afterwards be read
"Oh, what a lila we huve led!"
(Using the word iu an editorial
capacity while seeking to uphold
our circulation.)
"Yet toiling to take our wad of
mendacity."
And a little further on, speak-
ing of the new girl of Buncombe
with Trilby hair and a new garden
hose, he adds: "The editor's
character, about as near as can be
seen in American life. It seems
many things occur to his mind
which people have no idea about."
This we find in the March
Gleaner, and it goes to show how
cheaply a feud can now be carried
on as times are now. The Glean-
er costs but 25 cents per year and
half a column is good for two men.
The wadding was picked up on
the ground. It is a horrible death
to die, but it is sure when it gets
into the circulation.
Some years ago there swooped
across the wide sky an opaque,
flaccid invertebrate wearing a
cow's breakfast of sunflower and
calla lily while murmuring soft
nothings into the ears of those
Peter Funk Americans who were
grubs not so long ago that to be
noticed even by the armless man
or the w ild man of Fort Dodge,
la., was glory enough for a life-
time. Many paid to see him.
This creature was named Oscar
Wilde. I saw him—met him
while he was on his California
mission for means, the while
teaching the upper classes of Red
Dog how to combine beet hash to
look like Turner's slave ship,
which an able Boston reporter de-
scribed as looking like a tortoise-
shell on having an apopletic fit in
a bowl of tomato soup.
Oscar passed on to Yuba Dam,
showing the plum-butter people
how to stand up to a bar like a
willow wind, how to avoid grim-
visaged wai by squirting rose leaf
tine cut tobacco iuto a violet-
colored jardiniere.
While traveling through the
fastnesses of our forests and tool-
ing to and fro iu a Pullman car,
where the towels did not harmon-
ize with his necktie or with the
message he sent, for that matter,
nut to and fro wherever two or
three could be gathered together
to hear this broad and arid-throat-
ed Oscar, the forerunner of the
free, the shirtless, the sockless,
the Greek, who was so beautiful
in marble and so soiled and shirt-
less in the abstract.
Casually he wrote us up in that
jaunty Rollo-book style, such as is
used by the Englishman who,
while here, strives to make the
whole Waldorf Hotel think that he
is taking his tub all the time,
whereas he is thinking where beer
is low and emigrant girls play
Trilby for board and clothes
"But it is in the decay of man-
ners," he said as he kissed a yel-
low cigarette finger iu farewell to
the still good natured populace,
"that the thoughtful and well bred
has cause for regret. I have re
peatedly said this, especially in
places where I have been enter-
tained, but the reply has always
been, 'We are still a young coun-
try, and you must not be too se
veie upon us, Mr. Wilde.' Yes,
but I must say in reply your man-
neis were better two years ago
than now. They have never been
equal to the days since the time of
Washington and Pocahontas.
Look at Pocahontas as you see her
today on the currency, which I
just borrowed of a coarse Califor-
nia man who used the telegraph
pole for a kerchief and the bound-
less universe for a cuspidor.
"I would rather have seen Po-
cahontas climbing out of the slip-
pery Chickahominy or Minnehaha
after taking her bath than to have
dined with your yoeman presi-
dent, who leaves you, after four
years, in a tram-car, with a f ix-
bob alarm clock on his knees for
his bleak little bungalow down
south.
"I believe that a most serious
problem for the American people
to solve is cultivation among its
people. It is the moat nfceable,
the most painful effect in Ameri-
can civilization.
"Yes, Oscar," I said to him in
an interview, for I vu a poor bnt
rood reporter, and he on the
wallet of Coast gold as big as a
pug dog, at hand. Our manners
are a little decayed, and so will
be the eggs with which we gieet
you on your return. No doubt
the nude Indian princess was to
you more aesthetic than the culti-
vation of which you know not."
APOSTROPHE ADDRESSED TO O. WILDE.
Soft-ey#d geraphlne kura
With l'mber legs and lilly oil the side,
We greet you from the raw
And uncouth west.
The cowboy yearns to yank thee
To his brawny breast and squeeze
Thy palpitating gizzard
Through thy rest.
Come to the mountain fastness,
Oscar, with thy low-neck shirt
And high-neck pants;
Fly to the coyote's home,
Thou son of Albion,
.James Crow bard and champion aesthete
from o'er the summar sea.
WE GREET THEE
With our free, untutored ways and wild
Peculiar style of deadly beverage.
Come to the broad free West and mingle
With our high-toned mob,
Come to the glorious Occident,
And dally with the pac*s mule's whisk
broom tail.
Study his odd but soft demeanor
And Peculiar mien.
Tickle his gambrel with a sunflower bud.
And scoot across the blue horizon
To the too-ness "f the sweet and succulent
beyond.
We'll gladly
Gather up thy shattered remnants
With a broom, and ship thoe to thy beau-
chcous iitme.
Sit on the fuzzy cactus,
King of prosey and song!
Kide the fierce bronco o er the dusty plain.
And let tile zephyr sigh among thy buttery
locks.
Welcome,thou genius of dyspeptic song!
Thou bilious lunatic from far off lands:
Come to the home of genius.
By the snowy hills.
And drestle with the aloholic inspiration
Of our cordial home!
WE YEARN
Thou bluo-nosed clam,
W ith pimply bulging brow. Oh'
Ceme, and wo will welcome thee
With rncient omelet and fragrant sausage
Of forgotten gems
Oscar Wilde passed me by cold-
ly in after years. He became more
and more erotic and gross under
the guise of aesthecism, and now
the grizzly nobility swear that,
should he escape a life of impris-
onment they will shoot out of him
the immoral growth that, like
mighty stalagmites and stalactites,
have filled the darkened intellect
of this moral toxide of wicked-
ness.
About ten years ago I greeted
Oc with these lines and though my
neighbors enjoyed it, I was by Oc
turned down:
Afterwards I criticised Oscar in
paternal words, told him to cease
writing poems and buy a coster-
monger's donkey that would
match his own pelt and go into
business on Piccadilly, but he was
stiff-necked and sought society.
It has taken society just about
nine years to see what Josh Titus
knew as soon as he looked in his
mouth—Oc's month, I mean. Bill
Iiort sized up Oscar Wilde in sev-
en minutes, and yet it took the
drawn-butter thing with which so-
ciety cephalizes most ten years to
discover that Wrilde was a higWy
caparisoned ass, a glutton who
had eaten up the institute to i
which he was sent for a cure, a
drunkard who took everything
damp from stump water to can;
jhor aud nitric acid, besides be
ing more immoral generally than
the Prince of Wales, yet having
all these little nick nacks paid out
of the fund set aside for keeping
his father's grave green.
I have no more to say, though
he was cold and cruel to me when
in his country. When a man gets
to the end of his rope, I let him
jo. Now that Oc has reached the
Old Bailey, with a long vista of
striped panties running down the
gallery towards his den, not even
allowed his cigarette, cursing, not
his humiliation, but chafing over
the loss of his salad oil or his
coarse slop jar and ill-matched
jardiniere, he forgets wife and
boys to beg of the jailor for the
butt of a stale and well mouthed
cigarette.
Let us think more of rur neigh-
bors and what buds on our own
soil. All that is imported is not
great.
When I returned a year ago
from England I brought a full-
blood Jersey bull, 3 years old,
just as foreign as he could be, but
wheu I tried to put our new en-
gagement ring in his nose, he let
off a defening roar and mussed me
up so in the chest that the doctor
on board our ship worked over me
all the afternoon,
So no more
at this
time,
Your friend,
Bill Nye.

-St. Joseph, Mo., May 18.—My
last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent
from 21st to 25th and the next
will reach the Pacific coast
about 26th, cross the west of
Rockies country by close of 27th,
great central valleys 28th to 30th
and the eastern stales 31st.
This disturbance will develop a
very considerable energy with sev-
eral local storms, high winds and
heavy rains in small districts.
Warm wave will cross west of
Rockies countries abuut 26th,
great central valleys 28th, and
eastern states 30th. Cool wave
will cross west of Rockies country
about 29th, great central valleys
31st and eastern states June 2d.
My next bulletin will give gen-
eral forecasts of temperature and
rainfall of Jnne for the nine crop
districts of the United States.
Although these long range fore-
casts of average monthly tempeia-
tures and rainfall are giving gen-
eral satisfaction the calculations
on which the rainfall is based are
not yet complete. I expect to
have them complete for the July
forecast.
By the above I do not mean that
they will be perfect but as near so
as I can make them for 1895
weather. The calculations for
1896 will be much more complete
and will more fully indicate the
real value of my new discovery as
to temperatures and rainfall.
All calculations in temperatures
indicate that east of the Rocky
mountains April and May will
prove to be comparatively the
warmest months of 1895. Not in
all the districts but taking that sec-
tion of country as a whole.
In the vicinity of Charleston,
South Carolina,, July and Novem-
ber promise the greatest excess of
temperature. December is to be
a very cold month everywhere
east of the Rockies and Septem-
ber will generally average below
the normal.
I have not gone far enough in
the calculations to ascertain the
chaiacter of next winter but De-
cember will certainly be very cold
and it is now a matter of great iu-
tcrcst to know what the following
three months, January, February
and March, will be. I expect to
be r.ble to give this information in
my bulletin of June 29th.
1'he weather bureau should pub-
lic! the daily averages of tempera-
tuje and rainfall of at least a few
of the best long records. All that
we now have are the monthly av-
erages und they are not iu accord

iiough money to publish a vol-
.::ae containing all the daily aver-
::vs of rainfall aud temperature.

pressure waves.
It is but natural to respect the
theories of men placed in govern-
ment positions. In our republic
the theory is that such men be-
come the servants of the people
while the fact is that they become
the people's masters.
The editor of the Monthly
Weather Review came to the
weather bureau when first organ-
ized in 1870 after having had long
experience with the Smithsonian
Institute in the same line. His
abilities are not questioned and he
has dominated in the weather bu-
reau from its inception.
But we should prove all things
and hold fast only to that which is
good. Because men hold high po-
sitions is not evidence of their in-
fallibility. The opposite often
proves true.
In the Weather Review for No-
vember, 1894, the editor of that
official journal tries to explain the
cause of the transient high and
low barometers w^ich cross this
continent from west to east regu
larly.
These variations in pressure
cause our most important weather
changes and their causes are of
too much interest, to permit such
blundering false theories as are
promulgated by Prof. Abbe to go
unnoticed.
In this latitude the drift of the
air movements is from west to
east carrying the high and low ba-
rometers with it. These high and
low barometers have been called
waves, and the high causes a press-
ure of 100 pounds, more or less,
to the square foot greater than the
pressure of the low, and these
waves pass any given place going
eastward regularly at intervals of
three or four days.
What causes these waves! The
answer to this query is given by
Prof. Abbe aDd I regard it as ex-
tremely weak.
Speaking of himself, Prof. Abbe
says: "In his preparatory studies
the editor has considered the
movements of the atmosphere as
analogous to the turbnlent flow of
a river in which ascending rushes
and descending eddies alternate
with each other and where the
pressares at the bottom of the
stream must depend upon the ir-
regularities of the local resistances
almost as mach as upon .the cen-
trifugal forces within the eddies.

The waves in a river caused by
the water running over an obsta-

as we see where the waters run
over the dam. Over the dam is a
high wave and below the dam is a
low, or the latter is much lower
than the water above the dam.
Bnt these two waves do not
move with the waters while the
