What St. Paufs Day Has to do With
the Weather

The following Legend as to St. Paul's
day, the 18th of January, is taken from
an old English Almanac. 1t is said that
the people of Europe, many years ago,
observed it very closely, and made their
calculations as to the events that would
follow during the year,
If ST. Pauls day chance to be fair and
clear.
1t doth betide happy year.
But should it snow or rain,
= Then dear will be all kinds of grain.
If clouds obscure the sky.
Then great stores of beasts and birds
will die.
If the winds do blow aloft.
Then wars will rent the kingdom oft.
1t will be remembered that snow fell
in the afternoon on Wednesday, that the
wind blew and clouds obscured the sky.
If there is truth In the old rhymes, 1888
will be memorial year indeed.

A Subject for Ministerial Discussion.

Some correspondent of the Harrisburg
Telegraph writes plain communication
on ''proselyting among the churches,
which has attained such proportions than
We suggest to the ministerial association
the propriety of deyoting the time OF at
least one regular session to discussing;
What is Christian and proper, and what
is unchristian and out of oEder In this
matter2' Public opinion needs educa-
ton in this respect. Certainly no church
acts in proper spirit when Il builds II
self up at the expense Of another church
working for the accomplishment Of the
object.

THE DYNAMITE
Hronek Found Guilty and Gets
Twelve Years.

CHICAGO, December AT the con-
clusion of the arguments i'll the Hronek
dynamite case this evening, Judge
Collins at once charged the jury.
Every presumption" said the judge,
"is in favor of the prisoner. If the
jury believes dynamite came into the
possession of the prisoner prior to the
passage of the law which was passed
July l, 1887, and under which he was
inflicted, they must bring verdict of
acquittaI. They must be sat
istied that the prisoner procured
the dynamite since the above day,
wi 1eion1ous intent to destroy human
Efe, in order to convict" The judges
charge was quite lengthy, and its read
ing occupied fully half an hour. At
90 the jury retired. At 9.4S the an
nouncement was made that the jury
had agreed. The attorneys hurrledly
returned and the spectators seats were
quickly filed up. The Judge took his
seat. the prisoner was brought in and
the jury filed in and took their seats.
The verdict was handed to the CLERK of
the court, who opened the paper and
read:
We, the jury find defendant guilty as
charged in the indictment. and fix his pun
ishment at twelve years in the penitenJlary.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 1. - The
President-elect's visitors to-day in
Guided several gentlemen of political
prominence. Among the first callers
this morning were four Congressman
from Wisconsin - Lafollete, Caswell,
Thomas and Hugen. From one of them
it is learned that they intimated to the
General that if he was disposed to select
member for his cabinet from Wiscon-
sin, they would like to offer a sugges-
ton as to who they believed it would
afford the people the greatest salts
faction to see succeed. The sugges-
ton was not asked for, however, and
not offered. The Congressman are not
willing to say who their choice is, but
their convers alton leaves the impress
sion that Governor Rusk Is the man
they would like to see recognized. 1t
also comes from very good source that
their real candidate is General Payne,
the Wisconsin member of the National
Repu blican Committee, whose friends
are quietly pressing him for the Post
master Generalship. 1t is now asserted
that it was part of Senator Spooner's
mission, the other day, to cordially
endorse and recommend Payne's selec-
ton in the event portfolio fell to
Wisconsin. Senator Palmer and Elk.
Congressman Horn, of Michigan, also
called this afternoon. The Senator de-
clared his visit entirely secret, that he
had no ak to grind, and did not come
with view of talking politics at all.
Among the other callers were fifteen
charming young ladies from Depew
University, at Green Castle.
