GOod.by. Virgins.

Virgins, the prophet, is now without
honor in any country His great storm,
which was to have gathered head in the
Northern Pacific Ocean and t4ave,ed
round the world at the aston,shin race
of nearly five hund ed mile, an hour,
with tidal waves in the Bay of Bengal
and the Gulf of Mexico, which was to
haye.torn p the Valley OF the Missis-
sippi, hurled itself against the Ro ky
Mountains, bounded like all and
returned to Halifax, tearing everything
to finders on the way, has failed 70 put
in an appearance. There has been no
storm her than such local blows as
are always perienced in March. No
cyclone; no tidal waves. The Bay of
Bengal and Gulf of Mexico have not
been veNei. They have rolled en- as if
Virgins had never lived. Nothing has
been smashed. No one was hurt. Ii is
dismal failure, but it has its compen-
sation, for Virgins promised this time,
if his storm did not come to r, tire from
the heights of prophecy altogether, and
he will be held sternly to his promise.
He must now abdicate, and whatever
the ma'etic planets may tell him in flu
ture. mus hold his peace. We nave
had enou h OF him.
1t is patent enough that Virgins is a
quack and humbug, and yet it is
astonishing what an influence he has
had and what capacity for folly and
superstition people have shown, not
withstan ling we live in century of
mathematical demon ,traticn MS and scien-
titic hard facts. Virgins has spread
CONSERVATION in every direction. Men
and women in Kansas gathered togeth-
er and prayed to be delivered from the
horrors of his storm. Some persons
went era y from fear. Apparently in
telligent persons have built huts and
caves in the earth aud retired into them
to es ape from its rava9es. On the
mort bern coast o. South America sew

inhabitants to escape from the threat

public would probably be astonisbed.
Superstition is strong element in hu-
man composition. 1t may be covered
up BY knowledge AMI culture, but it is
questionable whether it is ever entirely
eradicated. Very few will admit it.

The Great Gaul.

The historg of France, indeed, Of all
nations, is a record of its great men.
Apart from the revolution whenever
France has attracted the attention Of
the world, it was when she was ruled by
q Charlemagne, Henri Quatre, Rich
ellen, a Louis Quatorse, Napoleon, or
q Theirs. Gambetta, in recent years,
was by all odds the foremost man in his
country, yet he was not in Office, but it
was understood that whenever the effort
was to be made to recover Alsace and
Lorraine, he would be installed into
power to lead France and her allies
against the hated Germans. But he has
passed away in the very prime OF life,
and for the moment the French people
have no great leader whose flag they can
follow. There is a mystery about the
death Of Gambetta. At any rate the
is unaccountable in view Of the publicity
which attends even the domestic doings
OF the foremost people of our times.
The death of Gambetta would seem to
insure the peace Of Europe for this year
at least. Russia would doubtless like to
attack Austria and seize Constantinople
if France we're ready to cooperate with
her, but the French people have shown
themselves very prudent while Gambetta
lived, and his death will induce even
greater caution. There is no one now
to commence a war, unless, indeed, Aus
tria should take the initiative, backed
by Germany. But Kaiser William is
now very old, and Bismarck, the man Of
"blood and iron," feels the infrmities
of age; and neither are likely to begin
war, standing as they do on the very
verge of the grave. But the war must
come. There seems to be no way Of
settling the Eastern question, and the
relations of Russia, Germany, and France
to the rest of Europe, without an appeal
to the dread arbitrament of the sword.
It will be fearful and destructive con-
fict when it occurs, but its beginning
may be postponed beyond the limits OF
the present year. Democrats Monthly.

What is the ''dudep'' Is he, like the

ami going around the town seeking
maidens by the score whose hearts he
may reduce TO the consistency of calf s.
foot ELY? No, the ''dude'' is not like
the "masher." 1t is true that he also
appears in bifurcated garments, and is a
Jewel set IN the conliding tailors ac-

different He has no extraneous object
in Behalf of which he is willing to incur

slender person that he generally failsto

The origin of the "dude'' is matter
of dispute, but there is no doubt about
his e istence. He is stubborn fact en-

at the thea ers There he is generally

nerisms o the Oxford and Cambridge
sophs. His careful attention to h S tail
or's work, his fondness for the conven-
tional evening costume, including the
glossy beaver often absurdly out OF
place, his pretentious assumption OF
gravity of demeanor, are all eoniirma-
tory of the theory that he is merely a
nantes alton of q new variety of Anglo
mania.
The "dude," thus reduced to his
component elements, is seen to be very
harmless creature. He is by no means
so dangerous as the "masher." He
may be very dull company, for joke is
thing which he disdains, but he will
never hurt anybody-not even himself
There is even hope that he may evolute
into something useful. The constant
effort to appear as if he had some brains
may in course of time produce fair
crop, and the community will be the
richer in consequence. ~ Y. Graphic.

palmed off his prophecy as huge joke
to see how many would swallow it. If
such be the case he has been extremely
successful, for both North and South
America have been az tori up, and his
nonsense he's spread like an epidemic
in Ill directions. 1t would not appear
so funny TO Virgins, however. if some
Of The victims who are out of pc ket

predicted woIld be mild compared with
their wra h. 1t is to be hoped that he
will keep out of their reach and that he
will now abandon prophecy, for he must
be convinced that tho elements are all
against him. 1t is not likely. however,
that the race of weather prophets will
die out with Virgins, for as long as the
human capacity or folly remains there
will be plenty of quacks to minister to
it. Wiggihs may disappear, but others
will take his place. and there will be
plenty of fools to follow them and swal-
low their quackeries. * Chicago Tribune.

4" Will You Be Mine -

Among the passengers who sailed on
the steamship British Crown from Liv-
erpool recently was a bright vivacious
miss OF twenty summers by the name of
Fannie Riley. Although she had left
home and friends, the passengers and
sailors noticed thatshe was wonderfully
happy. She was born in Halifax, En-
gland, and there spent her childhood.
As she developed from school girl to a
modest maiden, she naturally enough
became the object of many admirers,
among whom was Henry Bentley, who
fondly dreamed that some day she
would become his wife. Bentley babe
good-by to his sweetheart about two
years ago, taking passage for America,
where he resolved to make bold stride
for wealth. Arriving in Philadelphia,
he soon found employment, and care
fully saved his money until he fe't that
he needed naught save Fannie to make
him happy. He wrote to Fannie, asking
her bluntly; ''Will you be mine?" The
answer came by next aai; ''Yes."
She gathered together her wardrobe and
departed on the steamer above named.
Although she su cred greatly from sea
sickness, the thought of her approach
ing marriage kept her spirits up. As
the vessel neared the dock Yesterday
she sighted her lover, and before the
ship touched the wharf the girl had
leaped to the shore, and thew were
casped in each other arm s. Seeming
ly oblivious to all surroundings, the
happy pair Rugged and kissed until they
were obliged to desist for want Of breath.
The love-sick couple entered carria 9.
and gave orders to drive to the near
est minister. The parsonage reached,
the pair alighted, and were soon before
the clergyman. When the significant II
now pronounce you man and WIFE had
been sa d, the loving pair again entered
the carriage, which was soon lost from
sight in de street. Philadelphia Cor.

The Value OF Cashiers.

An Ohio merchant who kept three
clerks, each one of whom made his own
change and had free access to the money
drawers, was the other day asked by a
commercial traveller why he did not
keep cashier to receive all the moneys.
"Cost too much,h was the reply.
"But are your clerks honest?"
Perfectly honest"

The traveller went away, but in about
three hours he returned and said in a
loud voice so that all might hear
"When / was here this forenoon |
paid you a bogus quarter by mistake.
In case you find it in counting up to-
night lay it aside and I'll redeem it. :"
Then the traveller, accompanied by
the merchant. took position where the
back door and the alley could be kept
in view, and in less than ten minutes
out came the head-clerk and emptied a
handful of silver on the head of bar
rel and paved it over. The bogus
quarter was not there. He returned to
the store and out came the second clerk
and went through thesame programme.
He was followed by the third, and after
he disappeared the merchant calmly OBJ
