The Great Storm a Myth

Chief Signal Officer W. b. Hazen, of
Washington. has published a letter criti-
cising the prophecy Of Z. Stone Virgins,
Of Ottawa. Canada, that there will be a
great storm in March next, ''the like of
which has net been seen since the days of
Washington" Officer Hazen shows that
il is impossible, from any respectable
data. TO predict a storm that far ahead at
any season, and that no storm track has
ever been observed which moved in the
path indicated by the Canadian wOuld-be
prophet. All science and observations
fail TO see how the great storm
will manage first to appear in the ''North
Pacific get down into the ''Gulf of Mexico
on the 9TH" and ''being reflected by the
Rocky Mountains. cross to the meridian Of
Ottawa from the west at noon on Sunday,
March 1Ith." In fact, the prophecy is
shown to be a humbug Of some shrewd-
ness. but a frand and imposition that can
not be too severely rebuked. We should
saw that man who would thus attempt
10 cast a gloom and terror over half the
world should speedily be placed either in
a Iunatic asylum or penitentiary,

Obituary.

On Sunday morning last Mrs. Louisa Doug
las, lady who had reached the advanced age
1914 years, died at the residence of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. James Patterson. Mrs. Douglass
vas born at Stockbridge, Connecticut, on the
Both day Of June, 1777. and was the daughter
of James and Harriet Andrews. Her father
was of the Stoekbridge Indian tribe, and was
killed during the revolution, while her mother
was nuatto Mrs. Douglass was born free
but brought to New York and sold as slave,
and remained in bondage until the slave law
was abolished in the State. For many years
she has resided with her daughter on Me-
chanic street, and with the exception of her
syesight, which she lost some twenty-five years
ago, retained all her faculties until the day oi
her death. She has always been remark
able healthy woman and her death was not the
result Of disease, but like child going tt
sleep, she passed from this life to the great

An Error.

An Alabama paper says with some
spirit or exultation in regard to ex-
Senator Clay, who died recently,
that "his disabilities, without his
solicitation or investigation, were re-
moved abont two years ago" This
is q mistake. He petitioned under
the fourteenth amendment for the
removal OF his own disabilities last
session; and Mr.. Morgan, in the Sen
ate, and Mr.. Lowe, in the House, had
to exert themselves to secure the
two-thirds vote necessary. MIR.
Clay's petition, as printed in the
Record, was regular and formal, and
admitted his participation in the re-
belllon. -Er.

Cotton Crop--1SS2.

From Alabama reports are at hand
from forty counties, which plant rs
per cent of land planted in cotton in
the State. The weather is reported
as favorable by eleven correspond
ents, while fftyseven say it is unfav-
orable for planting preparations.
An increase inthe acreage pla nted is
expected by two correspondents,
while thirty-nine expect decrease,
and twenty-seven think that about
the same area will be planted as last
year The reduction will mainly be
caused by increased planting of corn
oats and other food products and
by financial embarassments.- Brad
