In our issue of April 21st, we pub lished a record of observations of the weather and thermometric readings from March 9th to April lGth inclu sive. To-day we publish the record for the remainder of the month of April. It-is not quite complete, as the readings of the thermometer were hot taken for the 17th, 18th and 19th. but so far as our recollection serves the temperature did not vary material ly from that of the days which imme diately precede or follow. The morn ing of April 17th was partly cloudy and cool, afternoon clear and warm, the 18th was cloudy and warm with thunder showers in the evening and into the night, the 19th was partly clear. For the succeeding days the record was as follows: April 7 a.m. 1p.m. 7 p. m. 20 50 .60 50 clear, 21 50' 70 55' " ' 22 60 75 23 CO 72 " 24 42 60 25 38 62 60 2G 37 70 60 " 27 5S' 83 70 - ' 28 -: 60 ' ,86 ' 75 29 .65 90 80 " 30 64 . 90 80 " It -will be seen that there were twenty-six absolutely clear days out of thirty, two partly clear, one cloudy and one rainy. The best thing about the weather is that it isoiot at all re markable for this latitude. It is not uncommon enough to excite surprise, or even attention except in those who are strangers here, and have been ac customed to a much inferior article in the way of weather, at home. Southern Pines is in her glory now. Tall, dark-hued pines stand on guard about her, for contrast is the brilliant green of innumerable oaks, every where are bright-hued wild flowers, violets, white and blue, phlox, blue lupine, azalea, gold thread, hoary pea, false indigo and many others. Along the streams the slender sweet bay tree loads the air with the perfume of its waxv white blossoms. Strawberries are ripe, peaches are as big as walnuts, roses are blooming and the mocking bird is so mad with merriment that the day is not long enough for him to sing in and we hear him far into the night. We have heard from D odsre ! He didn't perish in a blizzard after all. The fact that he still lives we take to be proof positive that a man (if he's tough) can live through a winter in Dakota. We are glad, we are made to shed tears of joy at the thought that our friend Dodge is still alive, and on the 13th of April was able to prance over the beautiful prairies of the Cannon Ball Valley. Dodge, you're a ' 'spared monument,' ' but don' t tempt Providence. Don't stay . there another winter. If you do, the climate Tm I I llC'rk X7n 1-1W rV - AATVITlATkltT Tnlt I XXX UO .

We were glad to receive your letter fttirt trt irnnw rnnr ri aw h.nrrinn n I irv I i.i .1 , at -r- -t i , I ti I is booming. It wasn't necessary to say so, however. We know that must be the case. A town in Dakota where people can live all winter ought to boom. Just let it be known that you didn't freeze last winter and you will have all the other inhabitants of Da kota rushing in to buy town lots. We'll think of you this summer, friend Dodge, as you swing 'your hammock to tne gentle cnmooK that sweeps in the shade. ' A Unique Presentation. Probably no advertisement is more familiar ' than that of the Atkinson House Furnishing Co., of Portland, neither desired, nor was capable of, Maine. Not long since the newspa- greater mental effort than was demand pers of that city united in presenting ed for the comprehension and enjoy- an elegant testimonial or tneir appre- ciationof Mr. I. C. Atkinson's liber- ality as an advertiser. It took the snape or a sona silver goia nneu mug, with jsnite, toru and spoonalso ot solid silver, which were presented to Mr. Atkinson's miaut son, i. L. jr. Mr. Atkinson's acknowlement is worth quoting and is given below. Portland, Me., April 11, 1888. To the Press of Portland: Gentlemen. I behalf of Isaac C. Atkinson jr., pennit me to express my heartfelt thanks to you for the beauti ful jrif t received this day, and .trust the recipient will in future years be able to also show his appreciation to "The Press7' by using 'their columns as one of the aids in climbiug the ladder to commercial fame. The under signed wishes also to here thank 'The Press" and citizens of this city for the valuable aid rendered him in the past three years, toward making successful the great enterprise in which he is interested and also hopes that the same generous patronage ,; and assist ance will be given (if not too far to look ahead) to his future successor, Isaac C. jr., to whom he looks forward in later years as being one of Port land's prominent business men. With manv thanks from Mrs. Atkinson and mvself for your kind remembrance q;t,Atw TTnrs Isaac C. Atkinson. Over five thousand people attended thelavinffof the corner stone of the N.C.

A New England tourist expressed to the writer his surprise at a discovery he had made in the towns he had visited. Said he, "It is always Mrs. A.'s, Mrs. i 1 T fit 1 1 house: I never hear of the husband's house. I think I have found really the land of woman's rights after all; men have- offices, stores and planta- A.Z 1 X Al - : . . 1 -At 1 .. i iijii. iiiiT. t nt wnmpn nn.vo ma lnmoc " 1 ' .

The necessities of child ren, the wants of slaves, the require ments of visitors, the attention due' her husband, made her a guide, a counsellor, a legislator in one the wise matron who sees and improves opportunity, the gentle Portia whose- judgment and affection save both Shy lock and Antonio. So, in nometaphor. but. in plain prose was woman the vital breath of the Southern home. Th g prevalent amomr mauv Xrf in,'n'Wt0 ti,nt ,u ment of a sensational novel, appears sufficiently absurd when we realize that the supposed reasons for self- indulgence were themselves the prime cause cf ceaseless anxiety and unre- mitting care.
