The recent mysterio1s appearances fol-
lowing sunset and preceding sunrise have
attracted wide attention from students of
the skies and the people generally. During
the days Of recent weeks the sun seems tc
have been obscured by thin veil Of duh
leade J ne which, as the sun receded to-
ward the horizon, became more luminous,
then yellow, then orange, then red; and,
as night settled down upon the earth, a dull
purple AT first it was thought these APP
pearances were ordinary sunset reflec-
tions of light, but it is now pretty certain
that they are either the misty sub
stance Of the tail of some unseen
comet, in which the earth is enveloped,
or q surrounding stratum of world dust or
very small meteoFs. Professor Brooks, Ct
the Red House Observatory, Phelps, n.
Y, has turned his telescope upon these OBJ
jects and discovered what lie thinks are
myriads of telescope meteors. II it is
unorganiZed world dust, or decomposed
vapors, as the Democrat and Chronicle, of
Rochester, n. Y, remarks; How is this

work in the upper airs. The terrible tor

own country, and the fearful volcanoes
and earthquakes which have destroyed so
many cities and thousands of people-the
tidal waves which mysteTiOusly rise and
fall on coasts hitherto unvexed by them
the tremendous activity which is evident
in the sun by the constant revelation of
enormous spots upon its surface-au in

These circumstances recall Professor
Grimmer's prophecies that from 1881 to
1887, the passage of the five great planets
Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus and
Saturn-around the sun would produce
strange and wonderful phenomena. He
saws: s. The waters of the earth will be-
come more or less poisonous. The air will
be foul with noiSome odors. Ancient races
will disappear from the EARTH" he at
tempts to prove his prophecy by the fact
| that in 1870, when Mars and Sa urn made
heir passage around the sun coincident-
ally, great destruction and mortality visit
| ed all parts of the globe. He also found the
| same results in previous perihellon pas
! sages of the planets, and argues that
| these circumstances always produce cpl
/ denies and destructive diseases which viii
/ battle the skill of the most eminent phYsi-
clans; that the poor will die by thousands,
! the weak and Incorporate falling fiji st,
/ those whose blood has been impoverished
! by excess of work or dissipation next,
| and only those who are in comparative
! vigor shall escape to enjoy the era of re-
/ newed activity and prosperity which viii
| follow the period Of destruction.
Inasnuch MS the entire world seems sub
! iect to the sway of the heavenly bodies no
part of the earth, he thinks, can escape
scourging. He even predicts tlrat Amer
lea will lose over ten millions of people;
that farmers viii be stricken with fear and
cease to till the soil; that famine will make
human misery more wretcheb. That hum
| dreds viii fee to OvercrOwded cities for
aid in vain. That sudden changes in ocean
currents, temperature and surroundings
viii entirely transform the face of nature
and climate of countries; that the air will
be foul with malaria and other
noxious gases; that those who survive
will be troubled with disorders of the di-
geStive organs. That many who escape
other ills Will bloat with dropsy and dud-
denly pass away, while others viii grow
thin and drag out a miserable existence in
| indescribahle agony for weeks. Neuralgia
pains in different parts of the body viii
torment them. They viii easily tire and
become Respondent. A faint, hot feeling
will be succeeded by chilly sensations
while Authorizations and dread of impend-
ing i'll will paralyze all effort. . The
birds in the air, the beasts of the field,
and even the fish of the sea viii become
| diseased, poisoning the air and
poi sOning the waters of the globe"
this period of trial will have larger enjoy
ment of life and health. The earth will
yield more abundantly than ever before.
The animal kingdom VIII be more prolific
prolongatiOn of life viii be owing to the
healthy electric and magnetic Influences
| that will pervade the atmosphere. 1t
would perhaps seem that the present red
ness of the sun, and the presence of a belt
or veil of Cosmic matter, justified, in a
measure, the prediction of Professor Grim
mer, but disturbing as his prediction
may be we are told for our COM
fort that the strong and pure blood
ed need have little to fear in these ca
lamities, that those who are delicate or in
4 Il -
system wei supported and the blood pure
and that the most philosophical and effect
i've method of accomplishing this is to
keep the kidneys and liver in good condi-
ton. From the ties imonials of such men
as DIR. bio Lewis and Professor r. a.
Gum, NJ. D., Dean of the United s. ates
Medical college, New YOrk, and thousands
a. influential nOn-proteSSlonal people, lG
Seems almost certain that for this purpose
there is no preparation known to science
equal to Warmers Safe Cure, better
known as Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. This medicine has acquired
the finest reputation of any preparation
that was ever put upon the market. 1t is
a radical blood purifier, which sOothes and
heals all inflamed organs, strengthens tho
nervous system. washes out all evidences
of decay, regulates digestion, prevents
malassimilation of food in philosophical
and rational manner, fortifies the system
against climatic changes and malarial in
huences and the destructive agencies
which seem to be SO abundant in these
" evil days"
1t IS noe our purpose to dispute the cor
rectness of Professor Grimmer's prOphe-
| cies. As we have said, tho marked dis
| turbances of the past few years would
seem to give a semblance verification Of
| his theory. 1t is certain, as above stated,
| that we are passing through what may be
| regarded crucial period and it
! is the part of wise men not to ignore, but to
| learn to fortify themselves against the
! possibility of being overcome by these
| evils. 1t is a duty which each man owes to
| himself and his fellows, to mitigate as
| much as possible the suffering of humanity
| and in no way better can he accomplish
/ this purpose than to see TO it that he, him
! self, is fortified by the best known prepare
/ ton in the strongest possible manner and
] that he exert the influence Of his own eX-
/ ample upon his fellows to the end that
/ they, too, may share with him immunity
from the destructive influences which seek
/ his ruin.
