A ScoRNER OF PRoPuETs.-The in-
corrigible John 1. CHM, Of the Carson
Register, had the disgusting presump-
ton to discourse rs follows In that
paper last Saturday: ave learn that
n woman in this city has predicted
that n great storm will flood Carson
City and the entire valley on Monday
next, Christmas day. Science has ad-
vanced too far for such nonsense to
affect the minds Of Intelligent people,"
The result of this Scornfnl treatment
OF correct prophecy was that on Christ
mas day CHM was up to his ears In
water. If the old prophet Elijah
should appear on earth again, this fell
low CHM would be one Of the wicked
boys 70 sing ont, "Go up, old bald
head :" and then defy the resulting
bears. He Il like the old fellow that
history mentions rs having hailed
Noah when the ark was passing, and
when Noah refused him passage, said:
"All right, yer kin jest so ter ther
devil with yer derned old ark faint
goin' ter be much Of . shower, nohow."
CHM Is probably navigating the streets
of Carson in 4 mud-scow about this
