The Rain Testeraa v,

One OF the heaviest rain storms that has
ever poured upon this city fell yesterday
morning. commencing about eleven o'clock.
and those WHO were late in leaving their
residences were subjected TO serious incCn-
verience and considerable delay. The
food gates OF the clouds seemed to have
been opened wide. and il a few minutes
the rear Of the town in the First District
beyond Carondeiet street was. TO a great
extent, under water. Bannuettes being
lower than the centre of the streets. We're
quickly submerged. and it was difficult TO
enter or leave the street cars without wad
ing from ankle deep to the thighs
As the rain slachened the banqaettes be-
came uncovered and pedestrians could
traverse the streets without wading. Il
was however. showery till evening, and all
the theatres felt the force of the storm. the
audiences being diminished from even the
previous low standard. The storm was ac-
colnpanied at intervals with lightning, ont
not of violent character.
By nine o'clock the stars peeped out. the
sky became clear and the ar gradually
cooled. There was nothing in the appear
ance of the sky at midnight to warrant the
prediction that cloudy weather with ram
will probably continue over the south A.
iantic and Gulf States, including Louis
lana" But we shall see.

A VERY DISAGREEABLE PROPHECY IS
mentioned by an Indlan paper, the Urd~
Akhbar, as having been uttered by Maui
vi Muhammed Salimuz-Yaman the fa-
NOUS astronomer of Rampore, whose de-
ductions have generally turned out
right. This gentleman predicts that in
the coming year Il blaze OF light, resem-
bling a shooting star, the like of which
no mortal has yet seen, will be visible
in The sky. cit will dazzle the eyes of
the people Of particular places with Ius-
tire, and after remaining for "a ghari u. e.,
twenty four minuter) will vanish. The
direction in which it will make its APP
pearance will be the North Pole, and ac-
cordingIy the people of northern u
tries viii see ii distinctly. Probably the
natives Of China and Persia will like
wise have a sight Of il. The effect OF
this meteor will be that the extent of
the globe over which its light will fall
will be visited by famine during the year.
and a large number of the people inhab-
ting it will be destroyed, while vegeta-
ton will also be scanty."
