In an arithmetical sense not difficult
accomplishment, but where the figuring
involves almost giving away articles of
necessity and luxury, a sort of One-sided
business, as Simon Mitchell, late of "a
Whitaker street, found when he resolved
to have more room in which to display his
array OF ssgOod clothes" OF course the
less a man has to carry with him the
cheaper it is to move, and on this princi-
pie Mitchell slaughtered-yes, cut prices
all to pieces, and while it was ''cOld
spell" financially for Mitchell he was
kept pretty hot in serving the crowds who
took advantage of the bonanza, and they
cleaned him out very well, too, so that he
is now settled at 159 BrOughton street
next to J. A. Douglass with brand
new stock of Mems, Youths and Boys
business and dress suits, furnishing goods,
underwear, hats, caps, ETC., and he pro-
poses to hold his old trade and gain new
customers if lOiC prices, ilrst-class goods
and fair treatment can do it. Call and
see him in his new stand, 159 Broughton

A Prediction for June-A Cold Wave
Coming

Coming.
A newspaper weather prophet, whose
predictions thus far for the year have
proven, in a considerable degree, correct,
makes the following prophecy for summer.
His predictions, based upon observation,
were calculated prior to the beginning of
January. In reference to June he says:
although the astronOmic summer does
not begin till June 81, the meteOrOloglc
summer may be said to begin on or about
June Z, and to last somewhat over ninety
days. On June s the sun Will be IN con-
junction with Mercury, Mars will be in
seXtile with Jupiter, and Venus IN trine
with Uranus, which viii render the tenn
perature high, with thunder storms IN
some places.
about the 18th the temperature will
again be high, consequent upon MAJOR
aspect between the sun and Jupiter, ana
the average hotel proprietor by the sea-
side will smile blandly as he contemplates
the crowds that are coming. But a change
will come for him about the 18th, when,
in his winter Oyerc0at, he cOntemplatess
with watery eye and benumbed fingers, a
stOrm-tossed ocean, conseqUenb upon the
equal declinatiOn of the sun and saturn
and other infelicitous CONGREGATIONS.
This unsettled weather will most proba-
bly, continue till summer begins, al z;O'
p. m. on June 81, 1888.
s. Child of the sun. refulgent summer comes
In pride of youth, and felt through Nature
depth;'
by which quotation it is intended to con-
vey the information that the summer Will
be red hot, and that sunstrokes Will
abound. The last nine days OF june ana
the early days of July are likely 10
be fine and seasOnable. The heat on the
4th and 9Th of July is likely to be some
thing phenomenal, consequent upon the
conjunction and parallel declinatlOn OF
the sun and Jupiter at that part OF the
ecllptic where it is cut by the solSutlal col
ure in the early degrees OF Cancer. 1t may
be some consolation to the average boy
bent on having a Fourth to learn that
although that star spangled anniversary
is almost sure to be hot, it Will most likely
be fair. On the whole, July will be very
warm month, with more than an average
number of violent thunder showers. On
the 18th occurs the conjunction OF Mars
and Saturn at 10:19p m, and on the same
day Jupiter is in conjunction with Mer-
curry. A violent storm may be expected
on that and probably the following day,
with intense electrical MANIFESTATIONS
along the coast and on the North Atlantic
ocean.
august will also be hot month, with
the exception of the 9th, 18th, oath and
10Th, about which dates stormy weather
is likely to prevail. 1t need not excite
surprise if the confguratiOn of Jupiter
and Uranus, and Saturn with Venus, on
the 18th. should precIpitate a violent
hailstOrm. There viii be good deal OF
thunder during the month, and the pros
poets are that the growing crops will not
suffer for want of rain"

How to Transplant Palmetto Tree,


Editor Morning NelCS: There seems
TO be a desire among our citizens to have
palmetto trees around their houses, but
many are restrained by the impression
that such trees are difficult and expensive
to transplant. As one who has had re-
peated success in that line, would state
that there is no tree easier to transplant
say between April and July-provided
the following simple rules are followed:
l. Select a tree on high land, as far as
possible from the influence of salt water.
One from the high mainland is preferable
to one from an island.
,, Cut down through the earth and roots
close to the body of the tree. with sharp
spade, digging up the tree as if it were a
post, without roots, cutting off the roots
clean, without bruising. Two men can
do it in half an hour.
3. Cut off every leaf, leaving absolutely
nothing but the unopened leaf on top.
4. Plant the tree eight or ten inches
deeper than it was originally. Throw
around the trunk at the bottom of the
hole. say half load of swamp earth, and
fill up the hole slowly while water runs
in from a hose.
5. Water daily for a month, and water
freely.
A tree should not cost over 81 or S.,
everything included, and is almost sure
to grow.
