1t seems that 'old Probabilities" knew all
about. the coming of the late storm on the
Lakes, and gave eighteen hours warning 10
advance ~of 1t. The bulletin Issued at; one
O'Clock on Saturday morning, the 18th OF Sep
TENDER, ordered cautlonary signals to be dis
played at Milwaukee, Chicago. Grand Eaven,
Detroit, Cleveland, Toledo, Buffalo, Rochester
mi Oswego. That evening, AFTER a warning
of at least eighteen hours, the storm broke,
lasting through that night and the following
day. The great, number OF disasters on the
Lakes, however, must have been due to a
general disregard of tha bad-weatfier signals.
The accuracy and utility of the weather cal
culstions In this case are beyond question,
and serve 10 confirm the; general confidence
which is reposed In them.
"A, Savannah correspondent of the New
York Journal Of Commerce sends that paper
some. statisiics. on the subject of negro NOR
tallty at the South, to show that while that
race cannot be expected to increase as under
the cultivation Of slavery, there Is no room to
believe that the statistics of disease and NOR
tally consequent upon sickness, ~idleness, dis
slpation and insufficient food will be proper.
tionally greater; among negro laborers than
among corresponding white working classes.
The statistics of. the, writer apply chiefly to
Savannah, where he seems to establish by fig
ures that the conclusion Just mentioned would
be. erroneous, and he assumes that what he
says Of Savannah, from all he can learn may
be stated proportlonally OF the rest of the
South. - ito
-Fhe-Gatheiic Register says : SIT Is
no longer a secret that, already many
months ago, the sanity and devoted Bishop
Persico. of Savannah, entreated the Holy
Father to relieve him of the charge Of the do
oese Of Savannah, Georgia. The malady that
repeatedly threatened his life, while q vicar
apostolic In the East Indies, still affects him,
In any hot climate. And his Episcopal aolicI-
tude Will not permit him to take rest while
charged with the oversight Of a wide and
growing diocese: 1t is with deep sorrow we
learn that Bishop Persico Is to leave the United
States. A Metropolitan, elsewhere, has most
cordially Invited him to a prelalIc position of
great Importance, and OF delicate responsible
ity-where his apostolic zeal Will have an
abundant and fruitful field for Its exertlop.
The diocese Of Savannah, meanwhile, ia not
left u%nprovided. But, joyful as the news may
be to the Catholic clergy and the, people of.
Georgia, 1t is better to Leave IT to, rumor, till
the determination Of the Holy Father is
automatically known"
