Wigging Prediotionp in New Orleans

New ORLEANS, Sept. 2S.-The
newspapers here have ridiculed
Virgins, the earthquake prophet,
so thoroughly that they have re
moved nearly all the scare caused
here by his prediction of an earth
quake on the Doth. Despite the ex-
posure, however, and Virgins de-
NAL that he made any such prophe-
sy, there are a number of persons
here who are looking forward with
dread to Wednesday. A couple OF
ladies, principals in private schools,
closed their establishment and left
for Tennessee in anticipation of the
earthquake. In vain their partner
pleaded with them to remain. They
were panic stricken aud declared
that their health and safety de
manded that they shopld have rest
where there was no danger Of
earthquakes, and whether there
was one or not the mere anticipa-
ton of one would make them sick.
A local eronaut will have a balloon
ascension in this city on the 29th,
and offers places in his balloon to
those who fear any earthquake for
$40 head.

Congress, at its last session, made
large appropriations for the building of
vessels, &c, for the navy. The Wash
instou correspondent Of Baltimore Sun.
in recent letter says: III the next FIVE
years there will be a complete revolu-
ton in the floating property of The navy
The outlook is that within that time
there will be an entirely new navy with
modern new steel guns 1t has oeen
the cry since the war that the navy was
top heavy, tacre being too many officers
'or tie number Of vessels Naval OH
GERS Of a practi.al turn Of mind saw that
this state Of things Will soon be r9yers-
Ell It Will be the vessels that are too
many ana the officers too few. Besides
the uew vessels will be of a tyre that
noac Of the present officers understand
The Old officers have passed the age
when new ideas can be taken. The
ouly source from which officers for the
new navy can be drawn is young men.
ana in order to render these capable and
efficient officers of modern steel vessels
it will be necessary to give them an ex-
tended course of instruction in the man
agement OF such vessels The obi oil
GERS are reconcilei to the fact TINT these
young officers will have to be depended
on for commands in the future, ana
think that preparations should be COM
mencod at once to fit then for the i'm
