The Canadian Prophet Blames the Stars for
the Prevalence Of Yellow Fever.

OTTAWA, ONT, September 27.-Prof.
Virgins said tonight that the preVa-
lence of yellow fever in the Southern
States was due to astronomical causes.
"You remember" said he "that Prof.
Grimmer predicted that the earth would
fall into the sun June -, 1881. There
was particle of truth in what Grlnl-
mer said. When the planets were in
the same line there was a tendency to
approach each other, and therefore to
approach the sun. True, the earth's
advance could not have exceeded a
few miles from her normal orbit, still
the effect has been so marked that even
the most illiterate perceive that nature
is temporarily demoralizcd. Who eVcI
heard of such disasters as have occurred
since that period? Cyclones, earth
quakes, floods, cholera, yellow fever,
and what is to come who can tell? All
this is exactly what would happen If
the earth were forced a few miles nearer
the sun. When you squeeze an orange
thejuice is forced through the rind. The
increased solar attraction would con-
tract the earth's mass. The land sur
face would become smaller and the
water would flow over it, hence floods
and the reports of rivers in all the
continents overdowing their banks.
Then this shrinkage would not be uni
form: and hence earthquakes. Then,
again, the atmosphere would become
denser, and would, consequently. hold
more carbon and its compounds in
solution-producing microbes, and thus
cholera and yellow fever"

Wespublish in this issue COPY of the
Anderson road law, and the recommen-
dation of the committee appointed by
the Board of Trade to look into this
matter of the public roads in cur coun-
ty.
This question of public roads is one
of the most important with which our
people have to deal. Every one who
travels our public roads feels the need
of better roads That our road laws are
defective is apparent to every one who
has examined them. Those who have
been in Anderson testify to the fact
that under the road law in effect in that
county, copy of which is published,
the roads have been greatly improved.
If the law is good one for Anderson,
we see no reason why it should not
work well in our county. If any one
has any suggestions to make wherein
this law can be improved we would be
glad to give the public the benefit of
such suggestions, and we feel sure opr
Legislators would be glad to have sny
suggestions that might be madeo on this
subject.

An opaque gathering it was which

lage, but the "denseness Of his cohorts
faces cast a shadow DER his" That face
was possessed of our ex-postmaster.

for the express purpose of nominating
a candidate for Congress in opposition
to Hon. Samuel Dibble, the present
incumbent, and the nominee of the
Democratic party.

How the Betting Stands In Indiana.

From the Courier-J ournal.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 23.-There is
popular impression that the trend of
betting on election results is a good
indication of the way things are drift
ing Admitting such to be the case, the
Democrats have the best oft to all
in:ents and purposes in this State.
They post their money readily, and are
rot SO particular as to the amount,
while the Republicans hesitate and
prefer small sums. That is, they abstain
from the thousands altogether, and are
satisfied with few hundred. AS rule,
the Republicans here have nothing to
stake on the general result. When
they put up it goes even money to say
that Harrison will carry Indiana. There
is Democratic syndicate in this city
that covers, without odds, every Repub-
lican dollar that can be found, whether
on the State or the issue at large.

However, with the same States that
