WEATHER PROPHET VIRGINS.
He Modifes His Predictions to Suit the
Southern Peoples Fears.

SOutHcEH 1eOple'S
New YORK, Sept. pa special from
Columbia, s. c., says: Professor E. Stone
Virgins has written a letter to Eugene
Cramer, manager Of the Columbia opera
house, in which he modifes considerably the
reports heretofore published about his earth
quake predictions. He intimates in his letter
that his predictions have been exaggerated
by the press, and expresses deep regret that
panic should have been caused among the
southern people by these reports.
He reiterates the statement that he knew
the earthquake force would cross these states
on Aug IL. Professor Virgins says it is
true that a great strain will occur on the 29th
inst, but that it will pass several degrees
south OF Charleston, and he anticipates no
disas1er on this meridian. He can perceive
no danger north Of the equator. He says
nothing about any great damage to Mobile,
New Orleans, and other southern cities, as
was stated in the reports of his predictions as
published several days ago.
In conclusion, Professor Virgins says: 81
may add that the Goth will be remarkable for
a great storm over the north and south At
lantic, as predicted in The New York Tri-
bune May, TO- 1884"

Christian grace. The mother will sadly miss
the words and sympathy from the young
brave heart, that had cheered her through

MARY HAD ALITTlE KID,

Mary had a little blackeyed kid,
An orphan-cosset-brough up by hand;
Whatever he saw that Mary did,
To try that feat this dear kid was bound.
Dick would climb and play; yes he would butt
And one day pitched Mary in the pond;-
But eating was the kids strongest point,
And of tarts and stamps alike was fond.
Sometimes he would try a tempting shoe,
An apron string or tomato can,
Or old hoop skirt anything would do
For this sportive young barbarian.
Poor Dicks eyes with wonder opened wide
When Mary took some CAsTORIA Drops
So he smashed the vial by her side
And Tapped the dregs before he stopped.
Bounding out of doors when feeling well,
Mary found Dick sullen on the grass
Because he liked its taste and SMELL
He ate the cork and munched broken glass.
