GREAT DAMAGE BY THE WIND AND sLEET.
The storm In and about New York Thursday
night and yesterday morning was very severe.
Travel OF all kinds was Interrupted, especially
on ferries and connecting railroads. In Central
Park and Madison and Union Squares the
weight OF the ice broke OF heavy branches of
to pass underneath. The telegraph wires are
down in all parts OF the city, blocking the street
cars, and causing at times interruption to ele-
waited railroad travel The mails coming to
New York CT y yesterday were delayed TO q
great extent by the storm. The falling Of
thousands of telegraph wires throughout the
city caused great inconvenience to business
n1es.
In BrOoklJ n the damage to trees and tele-
graph poles and wires was as great as In New
York. In many places the poles were broken
down for blocks: Richard S. Byrne, lineman
In the employ OF the Western Union Company,
was endeavOTing to clear the wires on Flushing
avenue. Brookly n. when the pole broke under
municipal wires were torn In q body from their
framework on the roof OF the City Hall, Brook
lyn, carry ing away part OF the framework and
large chimney. Ice from the wirework of the
Brooklyn bridge fell frequently during the day,
causing some minor damage to ferry boats and

outside the cabins The dispatch from Long
Branch, n j., says that the entire southern
coast OF New jersey was swept all day by a
terrible gale, accompanied by rain and sleet
The wind blew from fifty to sixty miles an
hour. At one O'Clock squall OF terrible We
lCcity continued for fifteen minutes. The only
damage reported IS the breaking down Of trees
which were heavily coated with ice. A brig Is
reported ashore above the Highlands The tel
There was but little abatement of the storm
last night, and marine disasters are feared. A
dispatch from Bergen Point says go All the

bridge Is one and seven-eighth miles long,"

A FALL OF BLACK SNoW.-Persons from
Laurel Hin report q queer story from that
section. gentleman from there remarked
that they had q fall OF black snow last week
The snow fell to the depth Of half an iucb, and
instead Of the usually White, fiaky element it
was dark and s0Oty In color. Immediately fol-
lowing the descent OF the snow families residing
Ia the neighbOrhOOd we're attacked with sore
throat and the younger portion with measels.
The theory advanced is that the smoke, SCOT
and other impurities from the hundreds of
coke ovens In this vicinity had been collected
In the atmosphere and by an unusual direction
Of the wind had been driven to Laurel Hill and

measels and sore throat that followed was due
to the fact of these SOoty particles collecting

Efficacy Of PRAYER.

AS an English vicar was walking along
the cliffs opposite Truro gust of wind
took off his hat and whirled it
away. Some time after Methodist
preacher, some distance away, was dis
eoursing on prayer, and advised his
hearers to pray for temporal as well a.
spiritual blessings, and cited case i'll
his own experience. He said that he
was recently on the shore about to pro
ceed to a neighboring town, and added:
"My Christian friends, had ON my
head at the time a shocking bad hat, and
somewhat blushed to think of entering
that harbor town and watering So
ill-adorned as to my head. Then l lift
ed up prayer for covering more suited
to my head. AT that solemn moment 1
raised my eyes and saw in the spacious
armament ON high-the blue ethereal
sky-a black spot. 1t approached-it
largened-it widened-it fell at my feet.
It was brand-new hat by a celebrated
London maker! I cast my battered
beaver to the waves, my Christian
friends, and walked into town as fast as
I could with new hat on my head"

A Plant Out of Place.

What are weeds? has been asked.
Very often they are only plants out OF
place. Any plant may become weed by
being accidentally found in situation
where its presence is not desired; put
true weeds form a peculiar and distinct
class. They are at once recognized by
their mean and ragged appearanceother
stems and foliage being neither Heshy
nor Ieathery. but OF a soft haccid desorIp-
tiouLand by the absence in most OF them
of conspicuous or beautiful blossoms.
a look of vagabondsge seems to chaTac-
atorizA most Of the members OF the order,
which at once stamps them as belonging

dom they are what Gypsies are IN the

fblt remarkable race. Like the GyP-
s;cs tbev are essentially intTpders and

The Mexicans are VIGOROUSLY fond of
dancing, and will neglect almost any,
thing else to attend a bale or baD.
Many American dances have been intro
duced, but the amusement, instead of
being indulged in in wild and unre-
strained manner, is conducted with
great decoruno. The ladies all sit on one
side of the ballroom. and the gentlemen
on the other, and when the music be-
gins the young men walk out into the
middle of the floor and beckon with
their fingers to the young ladies whom
they desire for partners. At the close
of the dance the ladies return to their
side of the room and the gentlemen to
sneir own. They waltz of modern society

4 Romantic XYnddine-

Romantic weddings are frequent
enough nowadays but years ago they
might not have been so common. An
anecdote is told of Dean Swift, who, be-
ing overtaken by thunder-shower one
day, took shelter under tree, where he
found party of young girls waiting for
the rain to cease. 4..s
One young girl was weeping, and the
Dean learned that she was on her way
to church to be married to young man
who was with her. /" Never mind I'll
marry you, said the Dean and took up
his prayer-book, and then and there
performed the ceremony; and, to make
the thing complete, he tore leaf from
his pocket-book, and with his pencil
wrote and signed certificate, which he
handed to the bride. It was as follows !:
Under Q tree in stormy weather,
married this pnan and woman together;
Let none but Him who rules the thunder
