During the last days of January or the

violent electric storms that will seriously in
terfere with working the telegraph lines,
and at the same time there will be exten-
tensive auroras visible both in North Ameri-
ca and Europe. -....
These electric storms will continue fol-
several days and be quite intense, and, under
the peculiar circumstances OF their appear
ance, they will be the harbinger of the end
Of the winter, for soon thereafter the cold
weather will begin to moderate in the south,
and by the middle OF the mouth of Februar.
extensive rains will commence in the Gul

Modern GomorraIl.

the condition of Gomorrah at the time Of its
destruction.
In last Sundays issue of the Times It states
that the water supply is not only inadequate
but it also is filled with the elements of death
that the public thoughlales are disgraceful
that the sewers are imperfect and are
charged to the brim with scrofula, measles,
scarlet fever typhoid fever, yellow fever,
cholera, diphtheria and small-pox-that rum
and gambling are debauching the publ Q
morals that voodoosm flourishes as the
green bay tree-that houses of questionable
repute dot the entire city.
This is, assuredly, a irightful arrdignment
and how any city could show more demor-
alizipg exhibit does not appear.
Accrediting the reports which come to US
from the leading papers of cur neighboring
city the conclusion is Irresistible that the
'scity of hrotherly love" is in the throes OF
physical and moral dissolution.
