The excitement and alarm at the east
over the predicted great storm of "Pro-
lessor" Virgins, did not extend to the
west. There was good deal of curiosi-
ty in this section as to whether the storm
would make its appearance at the time
predicted, and that is all. But ut the
east, several persons ofweek minds and
nerves, we're made crazy by fear. The.
fishermen along the coast did not put to
sea, and two ocean steamships sailed
from New York with five passengers,
and the other with none. The outward
bound shipping waited in the lower bay
and the damage to commercial interests
in New York alone is estimated at q
million dollars. The credulity and alarm
among the people, and even the degree
Of curiosity among the more in
telligent, are even more singular than
the delusion of Virgins admitting that
he was sincere in his predictions. He
did not speak with any authority or es-
tablished reputation. He had not been
known as scientist AMI was still dis
credited BY the failure Of the February
storm which he predicted would make
its appearance. The Millerites hare
been discredi lifted by the continued fail
{ ure Of the predictions concerning the
destruction Of the world, and the wealth

the same fate. But the stock ef human
credulity Is inexhDustib BE and, we may

European travel will be more general
this summer than ever before. State
rooms in all the first-class steamships
have already been taken up to the
month of July. The question:, What
will trip abroad cost? is being discussed
with great eagerneas. 1t depends, OF
course, upon where and how one goes.
There is not much difference in expense
between travelling in America and in
Europe. From 81 to SO per day for each
person will pc fair amount for all ne
cessary expenses. Indeed, some people
manage to "do" Europe much cheaper,
but the large majority of people throw
their money away in high-priced hotels
and first-class railway cars, when second
class are almost as good, and in going
over the same ground twice.

The demand for the publication of the
pension lists is about to be answered bv
the government by the issue of q work
OF 1900 pages, containing complete list
of the pensioners, their post office ad.
dress, the amount of pension in each
case and the reason why it is granted.
Such volume cannot be placed in the
hands Of every body, but it will undoubt-
edly be placed within reach of all, and
If the list contains fraud, the pension bu-
reau will be likely to hear oft. As mat
ter of public information, the newspa-
pers will be likely to reprint such por-
tons of the list as pertain to their con-
stituencies, and good deal of light will
be thrown upon the system which is TAX
ing so MANY millions annually from the
national treasury.

At the next meeting of the senate OF
the United States, important changes
will be made in the committees, owing
to the large number of senators. The
senate committees are made up, as far
rs practicable under system. A new
member assigned to committee goes
at the foot of the majority if he belongs
to that side, and to the foot of the mi
nority if he represents that side. His
name is the last in the list of his side.
and he advances by regular promotion.
When chairman of committee leaves
it from any cause, the next senator on
the majority list advances to the chair
manship, if he desires it. If that sena-
tor has the craftsmanship of another
committee which he prefers, he can re-
tain che latter, and the next one to him
on the majority list assumes the vacant
craftsmanship. In this way each change
advances every senator one step. The
method is closely followed, and hence,
by taking a committee list, it is enough
to indicate many of the changes that will
occur in coming reorganization of the
committees.

Large and Small Heads.

Lord Bacon says lin one of his apo
tbegms, "that wise nature did never put
her precious jewels into a garrett four
stories high, and therefore that exceed
ing tall men had ever very empty heads.''
This saying has often been used by way
of joke at the expense of tall people,
especially those of wit, genius and repu-
tation.
The same idea is thus quantity put by
witty old Fuller: "Often the cockloft is
empty in those whom nature hath
built many stories high"
Bacon's notion may Ebe true. though
we doubt if facts support it. But there
is another certain saying which facts con-
tradict.
1t asSerts that men ofgreat intellectual
powers ve large and massive heads.
Gol.s,," {. brings out this vulgar opinion
! in the familiar lines about the village
schOOlmaster:
"Amazed the gaping rustics ranged around;
And still they gazed, and still the wonder
Tha: one small ihead could carry ali he
knew"
A writer in the Journal of Science says

ouires large head is not supported by
! facts:
An examination of busts, pictures,
medallions, etc, of the worlds famous
celebrities almost tends the other way
In the earlier paintings, it is true, men
| are distinguished by their large heads
but this is attributable to the painters
who agreed with the general opinion
and wished to fatter their sitters.
A receding forehead is mostly con-
demmed. Nevertheless this feature il
found in Alexander the Great and, to a
lesser degree, in Julius Cesar. The
head eff Frederick the Great, as will be
seen from one of the portraits in Car

A Large Fire at Duluth.

On Saturday last a fire began at Duluth in
the millinery store of Miss Merrill, on North
Superior street, midway between Lake ave :
nue. and First avenue west, and before it was
under control destroyed half the buildings
OF the square. It was caused by the explo-
sion of coal stove in the millinery store.
From Mias:Merrill's millinery store the flames
communicated to Sullivan's restaurant, and
soon on the east to Peter Deans general
store. After this, on the west, they attacked
and destroyed Haug Bros billiard rooms,
Hills confectionery establishment, Geist's
jewelry store, Ed. Wight's and G.. Bird
SAILS saddlery stores; and on the east side,
Sullivan's restaurant, 8. Weiss clothing
store, Nil Hoff's shoe store, Dambruck's
restaurant and saloon, and G. Porier'S shoe
store John Hough's dwelling house and
other small buildings were also destroyed,
and the Central house, boarding house,
was about half destroyed. G. Porter, Nils
Hof. Matt Haug and others had dwellings
over their mercantile establishments. The
total losses aggregate over $4,000. partially
covered by insurance.

California at the present time is most
anxious for rain. Without it the crop:
will be very short. The Bulletin saws:
The acreage in most of these counties
sown to wheat is larger than before.
There is less actual suffering from
drought than had been supposed. If
spring rains should be abundant, it is
probable that the yield of wheat at the
next harvest would not be much short
OF 30, ZOO, 900 bushels. But if dry wealth
er were to continue from this on the
shrinkage of this aggregate would prob
ably be 30 peszcenE Twenty=ffye mil:
lion bushels of wheat lost by dry wealth.
er would be, only ne'item. The hay,
barley and oat crops would be CORE
spondingly short.

Norway is having fierce political
struggle with the king and his ministers.
The entire cabinet has been impeached
and the result of the trial is expected to
advance Norway ahead several degrees
in political government. The two legisla-
tive bodies are overwhelmingly liberal,
and the upper branch, composed ofthir-
ty liberals and ten judges of the supreme
court, who are conservatives, will try
the impeachment. The trouble arises
from an attempt of the legislature to
amend the constitution, which was We
toed by the king who claims an absolute
veto in the premises.

Morning News Washington Special: Sell
ator Mcmillan thinks the year will be COM
paratively quiet and administering so far as
politics is concerned.
An election for the state officers will be
held in Minnesota this year, but there are
no district issues pending to make the time
exciting, The election will be confined to
a mere choice of men. 1t is early yet to say
what questions will be brought forward for
party has taken the responsibility of settling
the tariff question, and for that it is entitled
to great credit. The democrats in one sense
are gamers by this-they are spared the re-
spOnsibility of passing upon the question,
and are saved from having great divisions in
their ranks made apparent by forced dis
cussien of the subject.
Mr.. McMillin thought that one of the
great questions to be consider ed by the next
department of commerce. He says:
Tue department of the interior has become
thoroughly unwieldly. It contains too
many subdivisions for the consideration
| of any one man, and that most of the other
departments have become SO we'll classified,
so far as as their work is concerned, that
they are easily controlled through perfect
systems. These systems are also simplified
by the long lines of precedents for the regu-
lation' OF, their actions. The interior de-
partment was made up of what there was
left of other departments. tits constantly
growing, and to-day it comprehends more
great interests, and more troublesome ques-
tons than any other department of the gov
| erment.
Mr.. Mcmillan thinks that if part of the
| department could be put into the depart.
ment of commerce, better public service
would be secured without any extra expense.
The question of regulating inter. safe COM
merce, if taken by congress, could be prop
erly entrusted to the department. of COM
merce. Mr.. Mcmillan thinks there are
only two candidates for the speakership,
Carlisle, and Randall. The canvass will be
| made upon the question ofktarif revision.
Randall will be for letting the subject rest,
while Carlisle represents the agitators.
Which every side wins, the results can be
nothing, but agitation, for the senate is re-
publican, and the republican (policy will be
against any reopening Of this vexed ques-
ton.
