Our Boston Letter.

BOsTON. March IL, 1883.
The Virgins storm has been the
favOrite topic of conversation for some
time past, and many were inclined to
place much confidence III his predic
ton as an astronomer; but when Fri
day dawned bright and clear, and we
were favored with an unusually sunny
and serene sky throughout the day, the
tide turned decidedly against him and
the poor man was caricatured and bur
lesqued without mercy in the newspa-
pers and by the public generally. Some
one suggested that he resembled the
boy in the story books, who frightened
the sheep by his continual cry of
"wolt, wolf" until at last, weary of
and not needing his false alarm. when
the wolf really came, he found them
an easy pley. Not only tourists and
travellers have delayed prospective
journeys, but commerce i'll some re
spects has been affected. Sailors are
called generally superstitiOus, and
nothing could prevail upon Gloucester
fishermen to leave port until after this
predicted storm, hence fish has become
scarce in the market, which is unfortu-
nate during the Lenten season for good
Roman Catholics.
