VENDORS PREDICTIONS FOR MAY
Mr.. Vennor, tue Canadian weather
prophet, makes the following predic-
tons for May:
"Toward the end Of the first week in
Nav. or about the 9th and 9th, snow
falls NAV be looked for in the lower
Provinces, and about May 3 frosts are
probable 10 Central and Southern Hi
nois. with rain and snow prevailing in
nome localities. There will also, in all
probfity, be snow.falls through the gull
aud the st. Lawrence district about the
7lh and Sth. After the tenth day,
however, hot weather may be expected
and after the 18th bush fires will prob
ably break out ia certain districts,
although thunder-storms are also prob
able on the 18th and 18th. Between
the 10th and 25th there will probably
be cloudy weather with rains, aud 'ege-
tation will have advanced considerably
by the Oath Of the month. Between the
10Th aud the 25th the weather probably
will be cool. The arrival Of shad-dies
in Montreal will be reported about the
9th or 18th. The month will end hot
and suitry."

Tur RrAnr1rr1. IsLE OF CH1o.-

THE BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF CH1o.--
Long ago, in the famous classic age,
the scenery of the island, and Of the
Erythrean Straits, which divide it from
The mainlasd, were celebrated by his.
torian and poet. To yachtsman or
traveller who sails along the coast from
Constunlinople, through the DArdan Giles
down TO Rhodes and Cyprus, no fairer
spectacle is presented than that noun
famous isle, the paradise Of modern
Greece" as Clarke, in his travels, ca lis
it, with Its white, fatrtopped houses
standing out in brilliant sunshine against
the evergreeus that overshadow them,
its perpetual luxuriance vf vegetation,
aud It's gardens coming down to the
blue waters edge. The citron, the
orange, the lemon, the mulberry, and
last. but not least, the "mastic tree"
which furnishes well-known condiment
for the enjoyment of Turkish ladies'
all these grow il magnificent abundance
in the fertile valleys and on the slopes
which stretch downward from the great
limestone peaks. 1t seems peculiarly
sad that a region so beautiful should be
selected for an awful visitation, which
spreads RUN and death broadcast in a
single moment.-LondOn Telegraph.

Mr.. John Paul, the Mahonit'
mem Der OF Congress from what was

The Lee County Sentinel warns

The Lee County Sentinel warns
its Readjuster friends as follows
THE CALL.-In this issue is a
call for Readjuster Convention to
be held at this place on the 18th
of May to elect delegates to the
State Rcadjuster Convention. We
hope to see every available Re-
adiuster in Lee county in atten-
dance. One matter which we con-
slider as greatly affecting the veal or
woe Of our cause will, or should be,
considered in this meeting-that is,
resolving whether or no we follow
Senator Mahone's change of base.
In all caDdor and sincerity we be.
lieve that the action of the several
county meetings of the State upon
this one point will seal the fate OF
| Reimbursement. To resolve TO be
a part of the Republican party
kills us-to stand firm to the
glorious principles of Readjustment'
untarnished by unhOly alliances
with foreign or domestic Funders,
will as surely bring victory to our
colors this fall as that our cause is
just. Let every Readjuster study
well this question and attend the
coming May Convention.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1881-05-04

As matters now look, it seems
almost as certain as anything it the
future can be depended upon that
the Mahone-republican halt of the
Senate will not for much longer
obstruct the transaction OF the bust
ness for which the Senate was con-
vened in extra session. The
pressure of public opinion has had
much to do with inducing this pros
pective change in the purposes OF
the republicans. They have found
that the people are not to be gulled
with the assumption that one halt
of the Senate constitutes a ma
jority, a proposition that any
schoolboy Of six years of age would
laugh at. They have found that
no amount Of denunciation and
denial can cover up the proofs OF
the disreputable bargain which they
have made, and they have found 1t
impossible to defend or extenuate
the record Of the principal candidates
they have put up for office. Re
publican Senators find it rather
hard to answer the numerous in
quiries which every mail brings
from their indignant constituents
at home. Yet it is to be expected
that some of the more extreme Of
Of them will fight to the last against
what they call surrender and
which, if it IS a surrender, is q
surrender of false and untenable
position. The President is now
unreserved in the expression thai
the Senate shall delay no longer the
transaction of the accumulated ex
ecutive business, and when that If
attended to he does not seem to care
whether they spend the summer II
the fruitlcsS struggle for the offices
The reputation element of Virginia
claims that satisfactory assurances
have been given that they are t(
have the benefit of the fedora
patronage in the State, which will
be of great assistance even II they
don't get hold Of the Senate offices
But the Executive and the re-
publican Senator's will, if they have
not found it out already, discover
that the republican party OF Vir'
GINA cannot, by the use OF any ap
planes, be turned over en- masSt
to the repudiationists.-BG Bait. Sun

AN EASY THINe.-The people OF
Tennessee might well accept the debt
bill passed atthe late session Of the
Legislature, as 1t certainly entails no
hardships. 1t is autbontatively stated
that the whole State tax is only eight
ctuts on land assessed at go per acre,
bu. which is generally Worth $50, aud
only onehalf Of this tax, or four cents
On 500 acre Of land, is applied to the
State debt. The Nashville American
may well inquire: "Is there any far
mer who is not willing TO pay this much
t. save the character of his State, and
restore not only her credit but her
prosperity" There ought to be none.
