Virgins won't give up his show but ad-
heres to bis prediction Of such astorm as has
not been witnessed in one hundred year, 1t
is to come on next Friday lto-morrow), Sat.
urday or Sunday, and 10 TO tear up the terra
frma from the Bay Of Bengal to Bangor. A
tidal wave ir the Gulf OF Mexico is to sweep
Galveston from her sandy island and SINK
the navies of the world. So much faith has
been put in this mans predictions that the
whole fishing feet of the New F, midland
banks have abandoned the spring catch at a
loss Of thousands Of dollars. We only know
Of one man in Wichita who has made any
preparation for e'dre catastrophe, and be
has extended cave under ground from his
cellar. An attempt TO predict the end of
time would be Q more sensible effort than
foretelling storms and old Virgins will get
left as he did last month. II is safe enough
to say that there will be a rough storm in
March, and serene spell in October; that
there will be hot weather in July and cold
weather in December, but the man who at
tempts to fix the dates and energies OF these
natural and inevitable changes evinces a
that ought 10 destroy the weight
OF his predictions. We take no chances in
saying that there will be no such storm as
Virgins predicts.

He had, last year. in connection with

occasionally at a private house The
incident here recorded happened ut this
place, when small but select audience
was listening TO one of taylor's really
animated sermons. As the pacacher

The good fruits Of Canada's Indian
policy were shown in striking way q
week ago when large body of red men
met to dedicate the cuuncil-house which
the Missisaguas have erected on their
reservation. The Missisa guas, who now
number only 220 persons, own 1000
acres of land divided into tifty-acre
farms, and III under cultivation; they
maintain church and a school, and
haze S20O,O00 in the government funds.
Thinking that their prosperity entitled
them to the convenience of council
house in which to transact their bus
mess. they erected q neat and comfort
able building. and asked their friends to
help them dedicate it. About fifteen
hundred members Of the Six Nations and
Indian delegates from remote points
were present. Songs, speeches, dances,
the music Of brass bands and nm album
dant dinner made mp the regular pro-
gramme, and the afternoon closed with
the formal adoption of the wife Of DR..

Value of Disenfeotants.

DR.. George NJ. Sternberg, surgeon ia
the United States army, has reported
upon the results of experiments he has
made with various disnfectants and
vaccine virus, the conclusion drawn
from which is that chlorine, nitrous
acid nitrogen dioxide), and sulphur
Gus acid Sulphur dioxide). are reliable
disinfectants in the proportion Of one
volume to one hundred volumes of air
Probably n considerable smaller pro-
portion of these disinfcetants would be
efficient in destroying the potency OF
thin layers Of virus in n moist state, or
of virus exposed to the action of the
disinfectant in an atmosphere saturated
with moisture. Experiments with car
bolio acid, on the other hand, "show
that the popular idea. shared perhaps
by some physicians, that On odor OF
carbolic acid in the sick room or foul
priyy. is evidence that the place is dis
infected. is entirely fallacious, and, in
fact, that the use Of this agent rs 4
volatile agent is impracticable, because
Of the expense Of the pure acid and the
enormous quantity required to produce
the desired result"

a correspondent writing from st.
Belon, boScommOn county, Mich, gives
the following interesting account of q
desperate encounter between man and
a buck deer, held in the water at that
place. He says the hero of the occasion
was r. A. Barlow. bookkeeper for Hon
ry Stephens q Co., lumbermen Of that
place, whereas, had he been q nimrod

Mr.. Barlow, bookkeeper, and when
on Wednesday last the sun toward
eyentidc sank slowly toward the horizon,
he laid aside his pen and otilce-duster

waters, where IN the shelter of the even
ing shade he would cool his fevered
brow and dip his pedals in the cooling
liquid. Gaining courage rs the shade
OF night became greater lie descended
on and captured punt and started for
greater depth Of water where, I'M
checked, he could sport with the tinny
tribes in their own element. Coming
to the surface after dive of unusual
distance, Mr. Barlow was astonished at
seeing approaching him 70 buck OF large
proportions, whose antlers spread over
his head like the branches of tree of
the forests Startled almost out OF his
boots, or rather out of the water the
swimmer struck ont for his boat and
there with a paddle waged war upon the

A Despoiled rreasure-chamber.

Tunis papers report an extensive rob-
berry from one of the richest and rarest
treasure chambers in the world, that
in the city of Fee. This treasure
chamber was established there in Sl5
by the Sultan dris-ben- Edris, the
founder of the city, and it has
been enriched by some addition to its
valuables or rarities by almost every one
of his successors. There are preserved
in it many precious relics belonging to
the time of the Moorish rule in Spain,
and there is sword Of Ferdinand tbs
Catholic, the handle of which is mass
Of precious stones. 1t is needless to say
that this treasure IS most carefully
guarded, and some travellers say
that there are in 1t and about
it two thousand locks. 1t appears
that some months ago the Sultan Sid
Muley HassaD, who has been long suf-
fering from govt, confided the charge
OF the Fee treasury to his brother.
Prince Muley Abbas, who in his
turn, entrusted it to the Governor
OF Fez A few weeks aga the Sultan
aas presented by one Of his vassals
with a splendid revolver, which was
adorned with gold and precious
stones. His Majesty ordered it to be
lodged in the treasury, but upon enter
ing the chamber. some boxes were found
broken open and completely cmptied of
their contents. The Sultan had several
persons arrested, but inquiry led to no
result: aud he has now offered a reward
Of e., 500 Cor the discovery of the thieves.
From this we may infer how great was
the va.Ge OF the stolen treasures.
