Fen Years of March storms.
New York Herald.

lANS" lOTk aerdlu
In order that the value of Mr.. Virgins
predictions may be appreciated by the tim
orous part of the public it is only necessary
that the records of the past years be glanced
at March comes in like lion," says the
proyerb, and goes out like lamb" 1t is
rarely, however, that the saying comes true
in this latitude. Mr.. Wiggins like sensi-
BILE prophet, chose that one of the months OF
the year during which nature, in the strug-
gle between winter and summer, tries to
assert itself. The following brief synopsis OF
the storms Of March for ten years will show
three days of March
monarch Of the desert, and roared at sundry
times to the tune of sixty miles an hour
throughout the Gulfof Mexico and the South
Atlantic States.
In 1873 March also proved to be a very
stormy month, eleven severe disturbances
having passed across the country.
In 1874 there were no less than twelve
storms or cyclones that traversed the coun-
try from the Rocky Mountains doing great
damage.
March, 1915, showed a severe storm raging
along the New Jersey and Gulf coasts during
the I'd, Sd, 4th, 9TH and 9th. Eleven storms,
most Of which were severe, visited the coun-
try that month.
The storms of March, 1876, were eight in
number. In many places the wind blew
over fifty miles per hour. The Atlantic and
Gulf coasts were the greatest sufferers.
In March, 1877, there were twelve dis
turbances, accompanied by destructive gales.
March, 1878, will be long remembered by
the terrific storms both on the Atlantic coast
and in the Northwest. The snow storm in
the latter district was the most severe on
record.
The meteorological record of March, 1879,
would impress any one who studies it that
it is a very simple matter to predict" a
great storm during the month, with i'm
mense chances of success. No less than
eighteen storms crossed the territory between
the Rocky Mountains and the Atlantic coast,
many of them being traceable from the
Pacific
In March, 1880, sixteen distul Dances
crossed the country, mainly from the North
west, but some of which caused gales of
wind amounting to fifty-six miles an hour
along the Atlantic coast.
In March, 1881, there were nine storms
reported during the movement OF which
such wind velocities were attained as: Del
aware Breakwater, 20 miles; Cape May, "A
miles; Sandy Hook, 56 miles; Thatchers
Island, 66 miles; New York, As; and Hat
teras, 50 miles.
From the above it will be seen that it
would be by far more difficult to guess at
a clear day than bad one during this
month.

Family Expenses.

After religion and politics there is nothing

two dollars a day who comfortably feed and
clothe family of half dozen people, while
some of their fellow workmen, married, but
without children, live meanly, wear shabby
clothes Oh Sundays and are occasionally
elected from their homes for nOn-payment OF
rent The principal cause of the difference
may almost always be found in the family

about economy in food than an equal mum.

THE DESERTED HOUSE.

Life and Thought nave gone away
Side by side,
Leaving door and windows wide
Careless tenants they!
All within is dark as night
In the windows is no light;
And no murmur at the door,
SO frequent on its hinge before.
Close the door, the shutters close,
Or through the windows we shall see
The akedness and vacancy
OF the dark, deserted house.
Come away no more of mirth
Is here or merry-making sound.
The house was builded of the earth
And shall fall again to ground.
Come away for Life and Thought
Here no longer dwell;
But in city glorious
A great and distant city-have bought
A mansion incorruptible.
Would they conld have stayed with us !

Lament Of an Old Suit of ArmOr.

Where pennants stream and bright swords glance
Where mailed warriors in grim array
At tilt or tournament, or deadly fray,
Bra ndsh the battle-axe or couch the lance.

Once more to join the terrible melee
From knightly breast to ward the spear awa!,
And guard the warrior brave from fell mischahce'

And placed her favor there They kissed, aiack
And parted.

THE BALLET GIRL,

With complexion like the rose
Mid the SHOWS,
Due to powder on her nose,
suppose,
She twirls upon her toes
In abbreviated clothes
And exhibits spangled hose
To the beaux.
When cruel time bestows
Adipose,
Fairy parts and all those
She outgrows,
And murmuringly goes
To the very hindmost rows,
To piroutte and pose
With the "crows.
When life frayed and faded grows,
Like her bows,
She In garrets sits and sews
Furbelows
Till her weary eyelids close
In the peace Of deaths repose,
Is she reaping what she sows?
Heaven knows.

A bit of ground, smell of earth,
A pleasant murmur in the trees,
The chirp of birds, an insects hum,
And, kneeling on their chubby knees
Two neighbor's children at their play;
Who has not seen a hundred such?
A head of gold, a head of brown,
Bending together till they touch.

The expenses of municipal government
are but little higher per capita in New
York than in Paris. While Paris has %
municipal debt of $35O,OOO, 900, that of
New York is less than 800, 900. The
amount expended for schools in each city
is nearly the same, though the population
of Paris is one million the most and near
ly double that of New York The latter
city pays three millions in State taxes,
while Paris pays none. New York spends
a million and a half on its fire depart
ment, and Paris scarcely anything. Paris
expends-a a million and quarter more than
New York on its police Though we con-
slider New York the most extrayagantly
~city-in the country, it does
not compare very unfavorably with Paris.

That Catholic Council.

ONLY PROVINCIAL CoNyoCATIoN OF NEW YORK Ann
NEW JERSEY BIsHoPs-TRE BALTIMORE SEE CON-
FIRMED AS THE HIGHEST CHURCH AUTHORITY.
The New York Sun published statement to the
effect that plenary council OF the Catholic
church for the United States would in the early
future be convoked in New York city by the Pope
This council, according to that journal, would as
semble mainly for the purpose of reaf1irming i'm
portant DEGREES OF the Baltimore plenary council
which have been partially nullifiei by non-com-
pliance with them. It was asserted that among
the DEGREES which are laxly observed, are those
requiring the clergy to wear caSSOcks In church
and at home, prohibiting them from attending
theaters, spectacles or balls, forbidding them 10
dun congregations for money or take collections
at church doors. prohibiting church picncS, fairs
and excursions, and forbdding the clergy to re-
ceive money on deposit, to be repaid with inter-
est.
In an interview Archbishop Gibbons, at Balti-
more. said he had no knowledge OF any proposed
plenary council ard regarded the publication as
newspaper invention.
WHAT FATHER cHAPPELLE, OF WASHINGTON, SAYS:
A STAR reporter to-day interviewed Father
Chappelle, pastor OF St Matthew'S church, In this
city. on the subject The Reverend Father after
reading the substance OF the New York SUMS pub
lication. said there was no plenary council for
this country in contemplation. He added: "a
provincial council OF the bishops OF New York EN-
bracing those OF that state and New Jersey the
and other places was called, but it has been post
poned indefinitely, owing to the indisposition OF
Cardinal McCloskey. The paper has evidently
got that council confused with plenary council:
that, no doubt, explains the errUr.
Star:-Father Chappelle, does Cardinal McClos-
key supersede the archbishop OF Baltimore as the
head or the church In the United States7
Father chdppele:-Oh, no. The title OF cardinal
does not make him the head OF the church. It
makes him the head OF the Roman curta- The
archolshop OF Baltimore remains the honorary
prlmate OF the church In America. I'll give you
positive proof OF that. When Cardinal McClos-
key was invested with the insignia OF his new
dignity, Plus TX, in requesting Archbishop
Bayley. then archbishop OF Baltimore, to confer
them upon the new dignitary, confirmed to him
mean the archbishop or Baltimore honorary
It requested the archbishop TO proceed to New
York and preside at the ceremonial, and added
would continue In him; that 4he Baltimore see
would be the hrst see OF the country. All commu-
through the archbishop OF Baltimore. know that
he remains at the head OF the church in this coun
try.
