Tine California storm.

From The San Diego Union, April t
 Yesterday will be long remembered for the phenomenal exhibition of weather To which we were treated. Such a wind storm has not been known in the last sixteen years, as We are as-
 surcd by a gentleman who has resided here since lS49. The only thing an preaching il in our own recollection is the great |" blow of January, 1872. which began about ?. m. and contn- ued until 5 o'clock. Yesterdays gale began early in the morning and blew all day long. ItreIChed it's continuation al about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the register at MT Howgdte's office marked velocity of 1j miles per hour. The greatest velocity previously recorded in San Diego was 39 miles per hour The dust was frighttul: so thick were the clouds that houses on tine opposite side of the street were Ob- scurtd from view. It is we'll that these only come at intervals of several years. One such blow as that of yesterday will suffice for a long tune. inlS lS a phenomenon peculiar Co Arizona and the Colorado desert The storm of yesterday began out on the desert on Saturday, and swept in circle over the countrypouring through Los Angeles on Monday in ali is fury. We are informed by passengers who arrived on the steamer that 1t was even more violent in Los Angeles than here, losing force as it swept around down the coast. IL may be remembered that the gale of 1872 was succeeded by heavy rains, and it seems likely that such will be the case now. The sky k heavily banked up with clouds in the east and southeast.
 The Union is a little of in saying that such phenomenon is peculiar to Arizona and the Colorado desert" It is true as to the great California des- ert, but less true as to Arizona than as to many portions of California, Neya- da and Utah.
