We are indebted to Karl von Rack, B
S.t M: D., tT. S. Signal Serv^-eobserver, foi
the fallowing.meteorological report of tht
weather at Asheville for ; the month 01
March. The showing is even more satis
factory than |hat of any month past.
\Ve call attention especially to the ab
solute humirjity report, showing the
number of grains of moisture to each cu
bio foot of air,this month’^average being
two grains and a small'fraction. The
a lisp lute, Tather. than tli relative hu
midity, is of great importance to th«
irfvalid suffering of lung trouble, and hen
30 to 40 grains per cul>ic foot, are possi
ble, according to the existing tempera
ture, The very small rainfall of less than
one-half inch, ,-is also of interest, as well
as the twenty-six clear and fair days out
of thirty-one, with not a single day with
- out more or less sunshine.i On the whole
March so much dreaded by invalids, has
Iteen delightful with an average daily
| temperature of 45°, and a condition
which made it possible for even the most
: delicate patient to enjoy the out-door air
for a number pf (fours in tlfe middle of the
day, while others could do fc(* without

Fortress Monroe as his destination
Inquiry at the White House this after

There are two revenue cutters at Haiti
more, one being out of commission
and the Other undergoing repairs,' Ow
of them could soon be pnt in conditioi
for tip: President’s use, and orders tc
that effect may lx: issued jn a lew ..days
