To Eoreteu the Weather.

Few intelligent persons, says an Ex
change, can have any sympathy with
the so called prophets who Oracularly
announce phenomena, giving dates,
occasionally making lucky hits, but as
often firing their random shOts altOgeth
er wide of the mark. That there is,
however, something in weather philOs-
ophy, intelligent persons will be ready
to concede, and they will be in accord
with the view of the writer when he
recommends the observation of natural
phenomt ma, which has been long
practiced. He says:
II one could read the signs, each day
fortells the next to-day is the progeni-
tor of to- morrow. Wien the atmo-
sphere is telescopic. and distant objects
stand out unusually clear and distinct,
a storm is near. We are on the crest of
the wave, and the depression follows
quick Ii some times happen-
that clouds are not so indica-
tive of IA storm as their total absence
In this state of the atmosphere the star
are unus lally numerous and bright at
night, which is also bad omen. Ii
sppea-s that the transparency Of the air
h prodigiously increased when a certain
quantity of water is uniformly diffus
ed through it, Nountaineers pred ct a
change of weather when, the air being
aim, the Alps covered with perpetusl
snow seem on a sudden to be near the
observer, and their outlines are marked
with great distinctness ON the azure
sky. This same condition of the atmO-
sphere renders distant sounds more
audible.
There is one redness of the east i'm the
morning that means storm; another
that indicates wind. The first is broad,
deep, and angry; the clouds look like
an immense bed of burning GOALS; the
second is soft and more vspory. At the
point where the sun is going to rise, and
a few minutes in advance of his com
ing, there rises straight upward a rosy
column, like a shaft Of dyed vapor
blending with and yet partly separated
from the clouds, aud the base of which
presently comes to glow like the sun
himself. The day that follows is pretty
sure 10 be windy.

and animals can foretell the weather.
When swallows are seen hawking very
high, it is good indication, because
the insects upon which they feed ven-
ture up there only i'm the most suspie
iOus weather.
People live in the country all their
lives without making one accurate OBJ
servation about nature. The good
observer of nature holds his eye long
and firmly 10 the point, and finally gets
the facts, not only because he has
patience, but because his eye is sharp
and his inference swift. There are

my speech delivered at McHenry on

inconsistent with, and indeed, contra

my published letter of the Sd of No

He says that in my speech above

popularity abound, and the army, the
main support Of his power, is said to be

ment. A sick man is not likely to con-
ciliste and lead the only force which can
maintain his power.
The unfortunate King il, however, a
soldier by profession, and this, such as
it is, il something which suggests the
possibility of his maintaining his hold
of the crown longer than he otherwise
C )uld.
He was born as recently as November
%, 1857, the son of the then 'reigning
sovereign of Spain, the famous or in
famous Queen Isabel, who abdieated in
1868, to the great relief of the country.

this revolution, which in 1869 was fol-
lowed by the Regency of Marshal Ser
ranO. In 1870 Prince Amadeo, son of
Spain. He resigned the crown i'm 1873,
and returned to Italy. Then came the
Republic, and at the end OF 1874 the
proclamation of Alfonso MI as King.
In January of the next year he assumed
the dignity to which he had been call
ed, amidst the united good wishes not
only of his own country people but Of
England and other nations; of England
particularly, because there he had
studied the art of war, at Woolwich,
near London, and had made many
friends.
On January %. 1878, Alfonso married
the Princess Marie de-las Mercedes,
daughter of the Due de Montpensier.
She died the same year, aud, i'm Novem-

Is there a vote in all this city

Escaped our sleepless vigilance?
Just one vote more our cause will save
One vote will snatch US from the grave
We need victory's vindication
To save ourselves from just damnation.
Go forth, We lovers of our cause,
In the good work and never pause
Until you have achieved success
And filled our souls with happiness.

One vote more or all is lost

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 9th, 1884.
Hon. W. ID. Coleman:
MY DEAR SIR have delayed an
swering your letter until could con-
suit the House Journal, thinking that
perhaps it might throw some light upon
the matter, but | find that it does not,
aud / will state to you my recollection
Bill. 1t has been reported around that
il was necessary to have some legisla-
ton on the convict labor question be-
cause the contract with Mason & Co.
expired in October, 1854, and that an
amendment would be presented for the
purpose of extending said contract until
the branch penitentiary was built.
The first time my attention was
called to the bill was when Hon. G.. U.
McElrOy reported the amendments as
coming from the judiciary committee
and had it referred to the committee ON
State Prisons. 1 will state that the bill
was never considered by the Judiciary
committee. / know this because was
clerk of that committee. The bill WAS
passed under the belief that it WAS q
mere extension OF the old law, and
without any person knowing of the in
sertion of the word Mines in it. That
this is so, is shown by the fact that the
ayes and nays Were not called for.
AS for your standing on legislation of
this kind, l personally know from your
standing on kindred questions and from
express views, that you were opposed to
legislation of this kind. and it gives me
pleasure to state that if your constitu-
ents are inclined to censure you, they
are not only doing you who made them
faithful and efficient member, but
themselves in misjudging your action,
a grievOus wrong. Very truly,
Your Friend and Obedient Servant,
