On the 10Th and 10th of October we
were to look out for general storm period Of Sc
verify In the Southern and Western sections OF the
United States II is now the Goth, and this great
general storm has not yet occurred for the simple
reason that "low" has not yet turned up In that
section. Mr.. Vennor is as far OFF in this as in the
moist weather he was 10 have in August and the
cold weather he was to have about the middle OF
September These things ought TO prove to sensi-
BILE people that there Is no dependence
upon the "weatheT- prophet" pet theory-that
the weather periodically repeats itself and
travels in regular grooves, And y would
seem that II would prompt even the weather
prophets" TO pay some little attention 10 the
freaks of low" for he is mighty hard fellow TO
keep track Of or to dictate TO, Ho obeys certain
laws, but then those laws are peculiar 10 himself
He travels In general lines from the west toward
the east, but when II comes 10 determining the
exact course he will travel on, that is lone Of
those things past finding out" Let weather
prophets" study the weather aud they are wise

To the Editor Of THE REPUBLICAN;
While every Washingtonian has nat
ural and very pardonable pride in the marvellous
growth and improvement Of our city-in It's splen-
did structures public and private; its wide streets
and avenues; Its delightful parks, and its beauti-
flll monuments, 1t must at the same time be con-
fessed that we are wofully behind the times in one
matter-that OF having one strictly first class place
of amusement
NO OTHER CITY OF ITS SIZE
Is without one, and In 10 other city Of It's size is
there the same necessity for one, for very many
reasons, some OF which win naturally suggest
themselves. As the Capital Of the Nation II Is the
scene Of many gatherings calling for place of
large seating capacity Apart from It's uses for the
purposes of the drama and opera, there are the oc
casons of the commandments Of our universities
and colleges, occasional balls on a large scale,
the 'reauirements. Besides being matter OF local
pride. these things have their advantages In busi'
ness point OF view, as has been exemplihed n
other places. And we want n structure that will
bet credit to the city, both aTchtectur0ly and In
the completeness OF Its appointments, with an au-
ditorum capable Of comfortably seating from
TWENTY Y-FivR HUNDRED TO THRRR THOUSAND PER
SONS,
with tho best facilities for ingress and egress Fol-
lowing the direction OF population, It's locality

than the present theatres. The Vicinity OF New

lines OF street-cars centre. would probably be as

this amount suggest themselves the first, TO make
Il Joint stock company with shares at SIS, $50, or

say 100 persons subscribe 5000 each, and receive
therefor, In addition 10 their dividends either one

such tickets TO be made transferable; or
COMBINATION OF THE TWO PLANS,

stock say 5000 $1,000 or even 50 900. population
| of two hundred Thousand in aud within very
small radius OF this city ought to pay very fair
! dividend on such an Investment, not 70 mention
| the other considerations here adverted TO. Now,
as every enterprise must have commencement,
| we would suggest that there could be no better
| time than the present when most Of our people
| have returned from their summer jauntings, 10
| have n meeting called Of our merchants and
capitalists, and OF all who would be interested in

Two sen Yarns.

Some years ago the old side-wheel
frigate saranac-that was lost afterward above
Puget Sound-was putting into the Mexican port
of fPitchilngue, on the Pacific Coast, and, owing to
the narrow and crooked channel, all at once she
stuck her nose into the bank and hung there,
shore that her jlb boom went way up country right
In among the trees. None Of the officers got excited
over It, as they knew the bank was so steep that
the hpwould come off easily us soon as the wheels
were given a turn ait. This was not known 10 tho
old boatswain of the Saranac, who deemed 1t
proper 10 call the captains attention ofiicially 10
the fact In some way Captain Phelps had only
Joined the vessel few days before, and our old
friend on the topgallant forecastle didn't know
how to approach him, but finally, in desperation,
he sung out TO the officer Of the deck, By Cd,

These boatswains on board man-o'-war know
thing or two, and know they know It, nag-
ship leaving port had her anchor apeak as she was
steaming down the harbor, and the boatswain had
gang over the bows clearing the chain cable
(which fouled) before fishing and eating for sea.
His attention was called away for a short time,
during which time the dag officer and captain OF
the vessel had come on TO the topgalant forecasle
and watched the gang at work on the cable, that
had taken regular close hitch on one auke and
half hitch hallway up the stock. Just as the
boatswain returned the aag officer gave some d.
rection TO the men over the side, the effect Of
which the boatswain noticed as he looked over.

Admiral, sirl" "Admiral be d-d, what the bloody
