Special Correapondence to the NKWB. BOWLING GRBBN, Ky., Jan. 19, 1881. A few days sojourn among the hospitable people of Southern Kentucky, makes one feel almost at home, e'en among strangers. A glance out if the window at the mantle of snow, which has enveloped the entire oountry. does not dispel the illusion, and one finds it difficult to realize he Is in the Sunny South.
A walk through the city acquaints you with several objects of interest, the first of which Is the beaatiful little Park, with its fountain, statuary, cozy seats and numerous gas jets. A porfect little gem of Art and Nature combined situated in the ceter of Bowling Green, so named for its peculiar marked situation, actually being a Bowl in the Green, surrounded by the the low hills or knobs.

Hew Method of Precipitating Rain Falfe. Among the recent patents ia on# taken out by Daniel Ruggloa, ot Fredericksburg, Vs., for what he designates as a new and useful mode of producing rain or precipitating rain-falls from rain olouds, for the purpose of sustaining Vegetation and lor protection against drought and for sanitary purposes. The invention consists in sending balloons into the oloud realms, said balloons carrying torpedoes and cartridges ohargea with explosives, and there to explode or detonate them by electric force.
My design," he says, "ia to employ everv kmd of explosive force at an elevation in the oloud region of the atmosphere, in order to condense rain clouds by ooncussire force or she power ot explosion within such region, thereby preoipitatlng rain to sustain vegetation, prevent drought, and also purify and renovate the atmosphere during periods of peatilenoe and epidemics. ••I contemplate the employment of nitro-glycerine, dynamite, chlorates of nitrogen, gun-cotton, gunpowder, fulminates, and other explosives, and to use the magneto-eleotrio telegraph on the surfaoe of the ground and the phono-telegraph in the oloud realm to direct action in oases where a regular balloon, not charged with explosives, is oocupied by an saronaut to reoonnoiter the cloud realm, to trail torpedoes and cartridges, or to throw them in parachutes, and to explode or -detonate them either from the balloon ocoupied by the feronaut or from the around.
Instead of a single balloon provided with explosives—say ten small torpedoes or cartridges, each charged with a half pound of dynamite, and arranged for simult.ine )Ud magneto-eleo-trio explosion—I propose in some cases the employment of small balloons in groups in the cloud region, each provided with explosives and arranged for simultaneous explosion or detonation by either electric or mechanical force and I contemplate not only to jirecinitato rain-fall, but also to oheck its fall in overabundance in a given locality by causing the rain clouds to discharge rain before the given locality has been reached by such olouds. "My invention is based on discoveries in meteorological science, and that electrical foree sways and controls the atmospheric realm and governs the movements of the rain clouds, bursting into thunderstorms, dispensing rain and hail, anil into cyclones ana tornadoes illuminated by magnetoelectric forces as prime attributes of matter. "I propose to employ tho ma^netoelectnc engine to send explosives into the cloud realm, and compressed air and steam into the atmosphere whenever found expedient, each through its appropriate medium of metalio wire, textile-, fibre, cordage, and elastio tubes."—Scientific American.
Censure 1B most effectual when mixed with praise. So, when a fault is discovered, it is well to look up a virtue to bear it company.
Hunting is a relic of the barbarous spirit that thirsted formerly for human blood, but is now content with the blood of inferior animals.
Throw a piece of meat among bears and a purse of gold among men, and which will behave most outrageously— the men or the beasts?
We should eujoy our fortune as we do •ur health—enjoy it when good, be patient when it is bad, and never apply violent remedies except in, an extreme necessity.
The creations of fancy iare divine. Many a Venus, as beautiful as she who rose from the white foam of the sea, lias risen from the black foam of the poet's inkstand.
Nothing is so fragile as thought in its infancy—an interruption breaks it nothing is so powerful, even to the overturning of mighty empires, w*ien it reaches maturity.
THE SUN FOR 1881.
In the editions of this newspaper throughout the year to come everybody will find:
I. All the world's news, so presented that the reader will get the greatest amounl of information with the least unprofitable expenditure of time and eyesight. Thk 5tra long ago discovered the golden mean between redundant. fullness and unsatisfactory brevity.
II. Much of that sort of news which depends less upon its recognized importance than upon its interest to mankind. From morning to morning THK Sun prints a continued story of the lives of real men and women, aad of their deeds, plans, loves, hates, and troubles. This story is more varied and more interesting than any romance that was ever devised.
HI. Good writing in every column, and freshness, originality, accuracy, and decorum in the treatment of every subject „.
IV: Honfest comment Tub Sun's habit is to speak out fearlessly about men and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each political party, and equal readiness to commend what is praiseworthy or to rebuke what is blamable in Democrat or Republican.
VI. Absolute independence of partisan organizations, but unwavering loyalty to true Democratic principles.

Its notion of duty is to resist to its utmost power the efforts of men in the Republican party to set up another form of government in place of that which exists. The vcar 1881 and the years imme diately following will probably deride this supremely important contest.
