THERE was considerable gossip in
Washington Wednesday concerning the
reported departure of Senator Conk-
ling for Mentor. 1t is said that he has
gone to visit Garfield upon special invi-
~tAtion. and that he wouldn't 60 until
thus invited. The visit reviyes the be-
lief that New York is TO have the
treasury portfolio, as a friend of Mr..
Conkling declares that no intends to
either name the secretary Of the treas
ury or no Office at all. The gossip now
is that Levi p. Morton will be assigned
to the treasury department, and Sena-
tor Allison to the interior department,
with some Pennsylvanian as postmas-
ter general. Senator Logan has re-
turned from Mentor, but he is reticent
as to what he learned there, though he
seems to be in good spirits.

This winter Is one OF exceptional
severity In Europe as well as in all
parts of the UniLed States. People
have been accustomed TO congratulate
themselves on the milder climate Of
the states and territories Of the Pacific
coast, where the air is 50 tempered by
q warm current from the shores of
Japan that snow and ice are rarely seen
there; but this year they are greater
sufferers than we on the colder ATTAIN
tic. While the states east of the
Rocky Mountains hsve experienced the
discomforts of severe cold, on the
other side of that range there has been
immense destruction OF property by
foods that have surpassed in extent
anything eyer recorded before. The
devastation caused along the line Of the
Central Pacific and in the valley of
the Sacramento has been announced
by telegraph, but later reports from
Oregon show hat also In n of the
choicest farming regions of that pro-
ductive state there has been serious
and widespread disaster. Meantime
we hear that in parts of Mexico persons
have frozen to death; that in Holland
the dykes have been swept away by the
sea and a. whole province inundated,
causing great loss of property tand
much suffering; that in London there
have been floods and storms that ne
cessitated a temporary suspension of
all business and inflicted damage to the
extent of $4,000, 900; that in Russia
large colonies of Germans have been
reduced to extreme restitution, and
that In France the military have been
called out to assist in clearing the
roads. This is an extraordinary list of
damages from storm and winters cold,
and will doubtless be regarded by some
as a fulhllment of tho predictions that
serious disturbances of the elements
would be occasioned this year in con-
sequence of the position of the plane
tary bodies, while those who have an
nounced 1884 as the date Of the end Of
the world will doubtless begin TO set
their houses In order.

A KingstsH kIan Fsretsiis Storms ~
the Action OF the Mercury I'm
His System.

After the discussion OF human cleo
trieal batteries. it may be well TO add
that there is in this city a man, a resi-
dent Of the ninth ward, who is known
IS the walking barometer" He pre-
diets storms and changes of atmos'
phere during the warmer months with
wonderful accuracy. He will foretell
q steady rain sometimes three days be-
fore it comes, and will predict a thun-
der storm the same day of its occur
renee, although there be not a cloud in
the sky at the time.
He attributes his powers TO foretell
these storms to the calomel in his sys-
TEN. He says that several years ago,
while suffering from a bilious attack.
his physician gave him a dose Of calo-
mel. At the same time he was using
one of Kidder's galyanic machines,
which contained a Smee's battery for
nervous complains, and the solution Of
this battery contained several ounces Of
quicksilver with which to keep the zinc
plates of the battery coated. His ply
stefan told him to give up his battery
until after the effect of the battery had
passed of, as there was a possibility
that the quicksilver solution might,
through the electric current, form a
sympathy with the calomel he had
taken, and return to its natural state
of mercury, and set it permanently in
his system.
After some ten days the young man
commenced TO use his battery again,
and almost Immediately, he says, he
detected a dull pain along the bones Of
his legs from the ANGLES to the knees,
and this pain came whenever he used
his galanic battery, and could not be
removed. After giving up the use Of
the battery he noticed that the pains
seemed to come at Irregular intervals,
and finally he noticed that there would
be a storm; but as soon MS rain fell, OF
there was an explosion Of electricity in
the shape Of thunder, these pains in
stantly ceased. In cold weather he
loses his faculty of telling whom there
is going to be a storm, as the mercury
in his shinbones is in a painful state of
activity all the while. 1t does not seem
to bother him, however, and few peo-
pie, as they see his form moving with
swift and sure step along the streets,
know the pain he is in. He says that
If his quicksilver would only give HIM
a rest once in a while during the cold
weather, he could beat Vennor all TO
pieces on predicting storms. His storm
predictions during the spring, summe
and fall months are rarely known to
fail. -Kingston Freeman.

A dispatch from Chicago, Thursday
night, says: Since eight O'Clock this
evening nearly five inches Of snow has
fallen, and it is still coming at the rate
of an inch or two an hour. 1t is COM
pact, and lies where it falls, and will
prove a great hindrance to railroad
and foot travel, coming as it does upon
the other heavy SHOWS, which have
covered the ground almost without in
terruption since the middle of last No.
vember. This heavy fall is quite re-
markable. The air is cool and crisp,
with no signs of a thaw.

x.sur.ll-.,,o. or Chinamen.

Three Celestials, DESTROYS of becom-
ing bonalde American citizens, have
applied 70 John stephens, clerk of the
criminal court, in Chicago, for natu-
ralization papers. Wong Ching Foo. a
naturiized Chinsman, acted as inter-
prefer, and explained the Ease fully.
Moy Hong Kee, one Of the trio, had
only been in this country a few months,
and made application for, and was
given. his first papers. He placed on
the docket. with pen and ink, a sky
rocket, az his signature, and said a
man well versed in the Chinese lam
guage, would call it Moy Hong Kee.
Moy Yee and Moy Sem, the other two,
have been in this country for ten years,
having come here when but 16 years
old, and thought il ever entitled to
naturalization papers they should be
now, but Judge Moran, after an exam
ination of the applicants, took the mat
ter under advisement.
The judge Of the circuit court Of San
francisco, and a Judge in New York
have both decided that Cinnamon can
not become full citizens of the United
States The question has never come
before the supreme court, and it is one
Of the unsettled questions of the Chi
nease question. Judge MoranIdid not
caro- to express an opinion as to what
the other judges had disagreed upon,
without . careful consideration Of the
whole subject, and he was not sure,
moreover, but that the provisions of the
new Chinese treaty would prevent the

When a board Of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known
valuable remedies, the most wondeaful
medicine was produced, which would
cure such q wide range OF diseases that
most all other remedies could be dis

proof OF its merits by actual trial has
dispelled all doubt, and to-day the dis

II a iadnlc meet n lassle
Comm thro' the rye,
md especially the other couplet:

anu especially the Otner cOupleL.
A. tho lads they smile on mo
When comm thro' the rye. IN
seem TO imply that traversing the rye
was a habitual or common thing, but
what in the name Of the Royal Agri-
cultural society, could be the object of
tramping down a crop Of grain in that
style. The song, perhaps, suggests a
harvest scene, where both sexes, as is
the custom in Great Britain, are at
work reaping, and where they would
come and 60 through the fields, indeed,
but not through the rye itself, so as to
meet and kiss in it. The truth is, the
rye in this case is no more grain than
Rye Beach is, it being the name Of a
small shallow stream near Ayr, Scot
land, which. having neither bridge nor
ferry, was forded by the people going to
and from the market, custom allowing
a lad to steal kiss from any lass Of his
acquaintance whom he might meet in
the mid stream.
Our contemporary will see that this
is the true explanation, IL he will refer
to Burns original ballad, in which the
first verse refers to the lass wetting his
clothes in the stream:
