THE STORM KING.

The past winter season has been
a disastrous one in the North and
West by reason of snow and wind
storms of unusual severity. But we
are told by weather prophets that
this will be a year of great electri.
cal disturbances. Cyclones, lorna
dos and earthquakes may be OK.
pected. The reason assigned is
that it is the Jovian period or the
equinox of Jupiter, which occurs
about every six years and lasts
about two years, during which time
there is a greater readiness in the
meteorological elements OF the
earth to express themselves in every
kind of phenomena common to our
earth. Whether this will pan out
or not remains to be seen. The be-
ginning is we'll for the prophets,
and there may be more truth than
fiction in it. The destructive cy-
clones of 1882 and 1888 are not yet
forgotten. Their horrible details
are fresh in memory. These storms
travel from the West to the North
east to the Atlantic sea board, and
their tracks are marked in the for
est. Those who reside along the
line will not take much pleasure III
the warning of the return of the
storm king.
II is the common impression that
coasts are peculiarly subject to de-
structive visitations of sea storms.
Such is the case to a certain extent.
On the Gulf Coast we have no cy-
clones, but during the past few
years heavy storms have swept the
coasts of Texas aud Louisiana, aud
one visited Pensacola a few days
since. But, from whatever cause,
the Mississippi Gulf Coast is per
haps freer rrOm destructive Storms
than any other sea board in the
whole country. 1t may be our pc
culiar location with reference to
the Gull stream, or it may be the
great natural island protection all
along the Mississippi Sound, or
both, which is probable. Never
theless it is true. This is not said
in boast, but as a matter of bust
ness, most pertinent at this period.
True we have our storms, aud some
have, in time, been mOre or less
damaging, but comparatively we
have been blessed with freedom
from the destroying visitations Of
the storm king 10 any shape. The
ship that casts anchor in or bar.
Dor may safely count upon a large
majority of the chances of safety.
And the same may be said Of the
laudsman who casts anchor among
us as q barber in the sea Of life.
Escape FROM the hard winter and
come to the Cult Coast; escape
from the cyclone and tornado and
we will give you shelter where
they are never known.

letter received from an honorable
gentleman there, prior to the receipt

Whatever be the equity OF the

ton, their conduct OH this occasion
has been extremely reprehenSible.
In the first place most of the ring.

expected of them. We note among
them a number of ultra negro Re.

dent, who givesthe news to the world
to suit himself. We can't blame
Mr.. Lienhard for refusing to treat
with such a crowd, but preferred
treating privately with h of bis
more reliable workingmen. Mr.
Lienhard is correct in his position.
The Knights have the right to leave
bis employ, either individually OIL
collectively, but they have certain
ly no right to dictate to him who be
shall employ, or who he shall dis.
charge. 1t would be an outrage tC
allow any man or organization tC
palm off an obnoxious set of labor
ers on their employer.
There is ~ other step this org.
anlzation has taken, as we are III.
formed, which shows its stripe. A
few days since, DR.. j. j. Harry, al
honorable gentleman with a good
practice at Handsboro and scr
rounding country, received notice
of a resolution OF the X. of l.. to
the effect that on account OF bis
obnoxious position toward the
Knights in this strike, he should be
boycotted by the order, AMI none
of the members should employ him,
1t seems that this notice was mail,
ed by one L. j. Leger, who puts M
d. after his name, but who has not
been able, by a manly test of skill,
to gain a patronage he hopes tC
rope III by Ills scheme. Leger Wit
be remembered here as the defunct
marine hospital physician, who left
here under a cloud, for the South
ern Islands, and now turns up in
HandsbOro to build up a practice
by manipulating K. of Us to boy
colt a brother physician. But worst
of all he had the cheek to mail the
unsavory notice himself. This
is one stroke of the knights which
their ready reporter failed to re-
port.
This, we pronounce contempt
BILE, at the risk of another boycott,
if they happen to have a man among
them with newspaper ambition,
with which we conflict. If any of
our Coast editors belong to the
HandsborO Knights, nov is the ac-
copied time.
