Probabilities for ftlaj. - BT PBOr. HENRT VXKHOB, OF CAUDA Toward the ead of the first week in May, or about the 5th and 6th, snow-fall may be looked for in the lower provinces -of Canada, and about May 3d frosts ar probable in Central and Southern Illinois, with rain and snow prevailing in som localities. There will also, in all proba bilMy, be snow-falls' through the Gulf and the St Lawrence District about the 7th -and 8th. After the 10th of May, however' hot weather may be expected, and after the 15th bush-fires will probably break

out w certain districts, although thunder

storms are also probable on the 13th and 15th. Between the 20th and 25th there

will probably be cloudy weather with

nuns, and vegetation will have advanced

considerably by the 24th of the month.

Between the 20th and 25th the weather

end hot and sultry.

Letter fro en AtlMta, Ga

Ed, Progress: It may be of interest to some, especially my brother teachers, to know that there is a citv Galled " The Gate City." This

might be a question on examination,

boys. Better paste it np in a con

spicuona place. As a gate is an opening or point of passing, this Gate City mast be the opening into the Southern States. Atlanta has a standing population of about 38,000 and is the 39th -city in size -in the U- S. It is to have a custom house soon which will help it greatly. Atlanta is not attractive, although it has many massive buildings, among which is -the Government house or postoffice. It will have a Cottm Industrial Exposition, beginning in September, lasting three months. ArMnnamonto M knittm mofa a onfAP.

farmers do a poor business, which gives rise to the domestic importation. They merely skim the surface with a single shooel plow, similar to the single shovels used in Indiana. These are also drawn by Ana hnroA m mnl. a mnlao aaa

more numerous than horses, and not unfrequently an ox itbe only power used in stirring the ground. It ia quite amusing to stand on the streets and Llghways and see the many different teams that pass.

Teams of hordes, one and two; mules, one and two ; oxen, one, two and three. They drive their oxen with lines fastened to the horns. They will not drive without lines. They use one-horse wagons without a box. A frame is made which sets in the middle of the wagon. This frame is generally only half the width of between standards and is about two feet in height. In this manner and with such implements and power of propelling as I have given is the agricultural industry conducted around Atlanta. But they are slowly growing out of this slaztrish mood. Studebaker wagons

are being introduced and Oliver Chilled plows are taking the place of single shovel plows. Senator Ben. Hill is regarded as the king of the South. Southern papers speak much about him, and now be mangled the little Virginian, Senator Mahone. They give Ben. Hill's speech in full, but never a bit of MahoneV Why I will not say. - Atlanta, like many other cities, receives more praise than it rightly deserves. Negroes must have some place to stay, and consequently a majority of the dwellings are very small and shabby; yet there are many fine mansions. But " new cloth put into old garments makes a picture only half way pleasing to the eye'." Stone and Kenneaaw mountains, both memorable places to every soldier, can distinctly be

It is mnch nsed for building, purposes in Atlanta. Kennesaw is near Marietta, where ia located the National cemetery. A grand spot.

John, suppose you become a wholesale grocer. Do you expect to buy tea and sugar and coffee and spices, and sell the same again without reference to quadrangles? Mary, suppose you go to the store to buy four yards of factory at ten cents a yard. How are you going to be certain that you have not been cheated if you cannot figure the right angle of a triangle?

The proprietor advanced smiling and inquired : Vat is it you vish?" The negro stated that he wanted a pair of brogans, and soon his pedal extremities were encased in them and a bargain struck. As he was about to leaye, the proprietor called him back. " I ain't gwine ter buy nuffin' else. I'se got all I want," said tbe negro sullenly. " Dot may be so, my dear air," replied the proprietor, " but I shnst vants you to look at this goat. It vas de pure Russian vool, and dis time last year you doan got dot same goat for $25.
