CoMPLIAIENTARY.-T Old Common
queatA speaking OF the Grafton of Capt. Jas.
Bumgardner jr., at Harrisonburg, on the
4th inst, says: ''Capt. Bumgardner was
greeted with generous applause, and had not
proceeded far before the vast audience was
wrapped in the closest attention, listening
attentively to every word and responding
with outbIirsts. of rapturous applause to the
burning words of eloquence which fell from
the speakers lips. Capt. Bumgardner made
some most appropriate references and apt
a,lusioDs to the events which marked The
day in history that it has ever been our pleas
ure to hear, and for the first time in many
years it was most gratifying to listen to a
fine oratorical effort devoid of the buncombe
and spread eagle allegories usually attaching
to 4th Of July speeches.
OF the "Stonewall'' Brigade Band, the
same paper says:-eThe people Of Harrison
burg are no strangers to the sweet music of
tbs Stonewall Band, an organization Of play
ers which reflect credit on the genial and
mastery leadership of Prof. Turner. The
Band is one Of Virginia S favorites, and its
members are as famous for their gentle
manly department and &C commodating dis
positions, as for their high talent as must

AN OLD PRopHEcY.-1 calling attention
to the old rhyme about st, Swlthn's day,
the american has the following


Saint Swithin,s Day, If thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain:
Saint Swithfn's Day. Ii thou be falr
For forty days It will rain no mair.
Such is the popular rhyme and popular
superstition regarding Saint Swithin's Day,
the 18th OF July. The good old Bishop OF
Winchester, whose name is connected with
the rainfall, was equally noted for his activ-
ity and humanity. So humble indeed was
he that he requested to be buried on the north
side OF his church, where his coffin might
receive the rain drops from the roof and his
grave be trodden by tue feet OF the congre-
cation. Here, as he had wished, his body
lay hundred years or more, when st. Dun
stan and other churchmen resolved on trans
ferring his remains to Winchester Cathedral.
But their ponpous procession was dispersed
by a tremendous storm of rain which lasted
forty days. Convinced by that time that
they were reproved by Heaven for neglect
ing the last wishes OF the pious dead, they
erected chapel over the Bishops bones at
which many miracles were afterwards ac-
complished, So runs tradition. Sober his
tory tells us that Saint Swithin was Abbot
in the Old Abbey Of Winchester ard Bishop
Of the diocese; that his only connection
with water was that he built fine stone
bridge over the River Itchen; that he was
prime minister OF one OF the Saxon kings
and tutor to the great Alfred. He institu-
ted the present system Of tthes in England,
reformed conventional discipline, and died In
sG2, choosing his place Of burial as foresaid.
He was never really canonized, and has
been called s'home- made saint"
TIE weather superstition attributed to his
day probably has its origin in old heathenish
observations Of the weather. In France
Saint Medard's Day, June 8, and June Is,
the Feast of Saint Gervais and Saint Trotay,
have the same superstition assigned them.
Belgium has rainy saint-Saint Godelieve,
and the prophetic wet day of Germany is the
comfortable one of the Seven Sleepers. An
almanac Of 1857 thus mentions Saint Swith-

Full forty days after it will.
Or more or less some rain distil.
This Swthin was a saint trow,
And Winchester's bishop Also,
sPains have been taken of late years to YER
lily or to impugn the popular belief. Saint
Swithin's Day was wet in 1841, and there
were twenty three wet days in the forty
succeeding it. 1t was dry in 1912, and twelve
rainy days out of the forty followed it. 1t
was wet in 1915, with twenuy-six rainy days
and dry the next year, with twenty one wet
days. Wet in 1851, 1858, 1854, with thir-
teen, eighteen and sixteen wet days respect
lively. Dry in 1850, 1852 and 1855, with
seventeen, nineteen and eighteen rainy days,
while in 1850, when Saint Swithen's Day
was dry, all the succeeding forty were wet
but nine. On the whole, in the twenty
years from 1910 to 1860 more rain fell in the
forty days after Saint Swithen, when July
18th was fair, than when it rained. But
there is doubtless a general truth at the bot
tom of the superstition, for meteoroloists
tell us that the character OF the summer is
commonly determined by that of the spring
preceding it, and that change generally
takes place about the middle of July. If the
spring has been dry, it is the more likely
July and August will be wet, and vsce versa.
Last Saint Swithin's was dry day, followed
by month of exceptionally clear weather,
If there be any virtue in the old rhyme,
we may expect long continuance of the
Clry weather for Tuesday last the 18th was
clear and cloudless throughout.

buckled on our fishing tackle and armed
ourselves with plenty Of bait and made
for the stream to make war on tho hnny
tribe. Within tho space of two hours We
had moro fish than We could possibly get
away with. After dinner ~ we were
al seated At the table cracking jokes,
something like the roaring Of distant
thunder could plainly b. heard 6o8 afas

said, "Oh, that is her msjestys chip
