PROPHET w1GG1Ns ND WHERE.

A great tidal wave started on the 14 inst at the lower end of Broadway, New York city, and reaching Lakeville, Conn, on the IF inst, struck with such force. in front of A Centenial Ave. as to completely blockade the same with ladies' and gents trunks, satchels. On the 20 an immense meteor furnished an additional blockade by the bursting of which Al was again favored with an uncountable lot of assorted collars and saddlery hardware. It is said the de- tonation caused by the bursting of the meteor drowned Col H. P. Harris's " monster" whistle at Ore Hill and caused great exitment in the mines and a rush to the place of visitation by the great Tidal wave and meteor. Wiggie, Wiggie this is no humbug. The above goods will be sold cheap, so as to clear the blockade and give the elements another chance at Al.

THE EARLY BIRD.

It is pretty we'll settled now that the very early bird doesn't come after the worm; he comes before it. And, bv reason of this very previousness, he gets left, right along, year by year. It is one of those tuSuS ndturde, in which the bird loses his nature and nature in re- turn loses bird.
 Amid the rough and tumble of the February and March tumult, there ap- pears now and then each year, soft and balmy day Its sky is gentle, the faintest of sweet odors are in the air, and the south wind that brings them whispers through the leafless trees the promise of the coming summer. It is a welcome sound. In such day. man wishes he had medium overcoat. Not having it.. he goes out without any and comes home to die-generally of pneu- monia On such day, all of sudden and without warning, the early bird appears. There is nothing under the sun for him to eat. The crust of the earth is not digestible The insect there's not worm to be seen except such worthless ones as we.
 It is peculiar situation for a bird to llO uluScIl III. 4uloeu, III UOuTulnR house parlance, he cant '' find himself and so he is generally lost. The ap- pearance of the early bird is signal, as infallible as any that the government hangs out. It is a direct notification that we are about to have tremendous change of weather, and that it is to come off cold, with snow and sleet, and the general devastation of misplaced winter; The bird disappears. Some times his dead body is found in the snow. but oftener the funeral is private as in the case of nearly all wild ami mals except cats. Few objects are more rare ln nature than dead creatures. In some mysterious manner they are got out of the way : all except cats, which usually die in the middle of the high. way, and lie there until they have in.

 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, August 14, 1883. MEssRs. LEWIS X Co.,:
 Gentlemen:-I have suffered for the past three or four years with malaria in it's different forms, especially chills and fever Gntermittent). I have studied the subject carefully and had arrived at the conclusion that quinine, in some of its forms, must be the only remedy, i. e., if quinine would not cure, one would have to stand it the best he could. My attention some three months ago was called to your red jacket bitters. I gave them trial, and was happily sur- prised at the result. The malarial symptoms left me after use of two bottles. I keep them in the house, however, and do not propose to enter tain the symptoms great while should they recur. I believe you may safely claim for your bltters that they are a better remedy for malaria, or chills and fever than has ever before invited the attention of the public

a MEETING of the negroes of
Washington has been held for the
purpose of protesting against the
recent removal of negro messenger
n one of the government depart
nents there because he ref used 70
do private homework for a white
man in the same department, and
against the usual treatment other
negro employees receive in other
government departments. Whether
negro employees in the government
departments at Washington or in
government Offices elsewhere black
the boots or do other sorts of meni8
work at the private houses Of their
fellow white employees is a matter
of no consequence to anybody ex-
cept themselves; but why the PEG
pie of the country should be taxed
to pay for such work IS what nobody
except a republican officeholder car
tell.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR and party
were put to some trouble on rail-
road IN North Carolina the other
day, and all because they were being
deadheaded by the company. fhe
conductor of the train had not re-
ceived orders that the party were to
travel free, and as his general in
structi0ns were to collect fare from
everybody he demanded tickets or
cash. The Presidents secretary
explained their ride was to be free,
but the conductor would not accept
the statement. Matters became
very embarrassing when the con-
ductor declared he was tired of
talking and the party must pay fare
to the end Of his run. Finally,
however, he consented to wait until
the train reached telegraph station
when he received orders to pass the
distinguished company.

THE RAINBOW.

From the heavens appeared a
sacred promise, inscribed upon the
eerulean arch ny the very hand of
Deity, that no lnore should the sons
and daughters of man be over
whelmed by a universal deluge; il
was as if to say, you have now paid
the penalty of your tranSgressiOns ia
full, go your ways and sin no more;
and then, to give solemnity and re-
newed impressiyeness to the divine
pledge, the recurrence of the grand
token comes at times when the
floods threaten and the lightnings
fash as they did when forty days
the Ole swept the earth and the
other struck terror to the souls of
its people. you will not be
drowned again" is the inscription
which was recorded upon the east
ern sky yesterday afternoon-a sol
emn, impressive token, whose
majesty of meaning was no greater
than its inimitable beauty was sub
lime.
How often IN the history of Utah
have TIE dark clouds of menace and
anger arisen above the eastern hori-
ION and threatened to engulf the peo-
pie in whirlwinds of bigotry and
foods Of persecution; how long the
dreary days, how intense the black
ness of the nights; and yet the sun
always burst forth at last as males
tically as though his face had never
been hidden nor his brilliancy
yelled. The enemies of popular
government and conspirators
against common liberty alone
dreaded his return; but he always
came when most needed, and always
will. There is nothing uncertain or
in the DEGREES of destiny;
whenever arrogance and hate gather
themselves into bulky proportions
there is a storm, but it does nor last
long; it bursts, it spends its fury,
1t dwindleS, and through its riffs
soon appear the golden beams of
the god of day, dispelIing the gloom
and painting upon the canopy of
heaven in glowing character the
signet of hope. There is nothing
worthy of fear for that which pro-
duces fear, has its brief season and
then disappears in the dim distance. |
The rainbow inspires hope; there
fore, when threatened we,can look
upon it, and calmly await the issue

PEOPLE WILL hardly believe it,
but it is nevertheless a fact that
Georgia is not only undergoing a
temperance movement, but is fairly
successful. The STATE law is that
each county can vote prohibition
for two years periods, at the expira-
tfon Of which the vote is again to be
taken. Many of the counties have
given large majorities for prohibit
ton, some of them as high as six to
one. 1t begins to look as if in a
short time liquor will Only be pro-
durable lawfully in Georgia in the
large cities.

THERE is a scramble for offices
and clerkships in Washington. The
civil service commission will soon
put into operation neWrules regulat.
Ing promotions and filing vacancies
in the ranks of subordinate en-
ployes in the executive DEPART
ments. Meantime there is a rush
to secure positions before entrance
shall be made difficulty by compel
tive examinations. congressman
are appealing for the promotion of
friends already in Office, and for the
admission of others, ard applicants
are frantic in their calls for aid and
influence. There are many appeals
in the Washington newspapers, the
advertisers, most of whom are
womeas making recklessly generous
offers to anyone who will get them
into position. One woman agrees
tOipay 5000 for a clerkship worthS72o
a year. Another promises 800
down and $40 a month as long as
she retains the place. A third Of
fers 10 per cent. of the salary, and in
two or three instances one.third of
the pay is guaranteed to the person
whose influence obtains the position.
1t is unpleasant to believe there are
persons in public life who will take
advantage ofsuch offer and sell their
influence to increase their own pro-
fits of office by preying upon needy
women whose moral instincts are
blunted by poverty; but people are
compelled to believe there are just
such persons, for advertisers do moi
offer these inducements without
hope Of success, and when they sue
coed they do not often betray the
corrupt bargain to which they are g
party. There are many evils thai

sweep away, and this one Of secur-
ing employment in the executive
departments by the aid of purchased

The race can be educated and the

purity. There are several Hebrew
schools in this country, but no place
where one can obtain a higher edu-

IT WAS the temperance question
that helped to break the0hio repub-
Iicans all up last fall, but the party
seems disposed to proceed with it
though on a different basis. There is
a strong temperance influence in
the legislature, and it tried various
plans for controlling the liquor bus
mess in the state, with little hope of
success, until the other day when
HE proposed constitutional amend
ment was suddenly and unexpect-
edly adopted. The republicans are
said to be delighted with the shape
the matter has assumed, for they
gain all the credit for a declaration
IN favor of temperance without
committing themselves to it. The
Columbus Journal comments on
the proposed amendment as fol
lows:
The amendment, embracing SIS it do@
legislative control and prohibition, gives
an opportunity for every shade Of opin.
ion on the temperance question to make
itself felt. Tax, local option and license
are all clearly possible under the frst
proposition, while prohibition is con.
tanned in the second. The bali is opened
AMI the temperance campaign may b.
CeS5sidered &s fairly begun. The people
nov have the whole subject in their owl
hands. and if they do not settle it salts
factorily they will have only themselves
to tbsok FOR it.
