CALEDONIANs CELEBRATING.
New York Scots Have a Merry Tim e q
s Palisade Hail.

New York Scots a Merry Tim e a
Palisade Hall.
Fackert's Palisade Hall was literally
jammed with festive Scotchmen last
night, who made the .swelkin ring
with song, speech and blinking glasses.
The Caledonian Club, of New York,
was the guest OF the Hudson County
Caledenians. IS
Two. tables running the length OF
the hall were spread with choice and
substantial edibies by Proprietor
Ernest Fackert. At the head OF one
sat Chief James III. Duff, of the home
club, who welcomed the visitors with
a speech that was received amid pro-
life cheering and hand clapping.
Chief Andrew Halliday, of the New
Workers, sat at the head of the other
table, and responded to the
words of welcome amid no less evil
dences of appreciation. Ex-Chief OF
the Hudson County Caledonians, J.
Machines, was POSTMASTER and made
the opening address. Chief Halliday
responded to the toast, THE New
York Caledonians;" ex-Chief Miller, OF
the home club, to 1.-THE United Scots, =
and Robert Ireland, of the home club,
to "Caledonianism in America Mr..
Ireland is the champion piper in
America, holding the medal Tor three
successive years. His address was
carefully prepared and read from

definitions of the word s'Caledonian-

the athlete the term was now sym
onymous with money instead of

and whiskey.n This remark called
forth some splendid sallies of wit
from President George Greaves, Of the
National Curling Association Of Amer
len, who was next called upon, and
was not long in demonstrating that he
had "been there" more thaniOnce. Mr..
Greaves also aroused the enthusiasm
of the audience to the highest pitch
by singing a Scotch ballad. Messrs,
John johnson, Thomas Reed, Kinley,
and others, entertained with song.
Among the guests were Treasurer
William b. Smith, ex-Chiefs A. Tas-
ker. William B. Warnock. Larry Rob-
ertson ; John Masweth, Banker Fran
els Beykes, and George Henderson,
champion quoiter, of New York.
The hall was decorated with Scotch
and American flags, with d picture of
Sir William Wallace over the entrance
door, and a portrait of Washington at
the rear of the stage.

EfONN ~ 1O'tO'-
The present Kaiser is said to affect
the violet, a fancy which may clash
with that of the Bonapartists should
the adherents of the democratic EN-
pre- again come to the front in
France. A flower was, of course,
necessary to the Boulangists, and,
with characteristic instinct for effect,
the partisans of the national and
honest republic have chosen the a r
nation. Nevertheless, the origin of
the symbol does not matter, except
from a historical point of view. The
mysteries of this form of heraldry are
generally beyond finding out, and not
infrequently are better left unex-
plored, If the result OF antiquarian
search is as depressing as that which
affir1ns that the word shamrock is de-
rived from the Arabic shamrock, a
club or shillelah, and that this
weapon is, in truth, the true badge of
the Hibernian race.

A story was circulated not long ago
in Paris that the tower had begun to
lean. The outline of the structure
makes it very difficult to see whether
it is vertical or not, and the rumor
spread rapidly, until it came to be as
serted that the tower would soon re-
semble the leaning tower of Pisa, to
which it vas constantly compared.
There was no reason whatever to sup
pose that any movement had taken
place, but the public solicitude became
serious enough to make it advisable to
have the matter tested, and two en-
gineers were sent with theodolites to
make a careful survey. AS there are
no vertical ARISES in the tower
the method of observation employed
was to trace the intersection of
vertical planes meeting at right angles
in the centre of the tower, and
bisecting each face. This was done,
and the two theoretical planes were
found to divide the faces of the tower
with almost perfect symmetry, show
ing that the shaft was not inclined in
any way from the vertical. On three
of the sides the curvature was found
to be exactly as designed, while the
fourth side showed a hollow amount
ing to about an inch of deviation
from the intended line. v
That the tower will be made the
scene of fatal tragedies, however, is
more than probable. To people of a
certain temperament, and there are
many such in Frace, it will offer ire
sistible temptations for self destruc-
ton. When a Frenchman decides to
kill himself because his girl has gone
back on him, he is apt to choose some
striking method of suicide.

Favorites Thus Far.
GRAvEsEND RACE TRACK, May is, 1880
"When will the favorites win ?''was the cry
yesterday at the Brooklyn Jockey Club
track. Of the eighteen races ran off dur
ing the first three days of the meeting but
three of the heavily fancied cracks have
been seen in the lead at the finish for the
races in which they were heavily sup
ported and for large amounts of money.
Over q fast track and without any pos
sible excuse for the condition Of the more
than large fields of horses that started,
the shorter horses more than held their
own yesterday aud the forty-eight book
makers returned to the city with we'll
filled 'satctels of greenbacks culled from
the ~over-anXious hackers of favorites.
st. James showed remarkable speed IN
the five furlong ~two-year-old race q
proved that he is SO far the best OF the
Juveniles seen on any track this year. HIS
victory, however, was a costly one TO ms
well known bookmaker, but the balance
OF wealth was against the bookle, VINO
had to quit at the finish. J,
Inspector B., who started at O good
price, won the fourth race handily, and
with the flying Canteen. and the despised
VINO started aU relnuuefauIsc
odds in the books and paid o much larger
figure in the Mutuel pools, the third day
of the Brooklyn Jockey Club WIS brought
to q most successful close. rs
Alarge crowd Is expected today to wit
ness a programme of special merit, in
GLIDING, as It does the Hudson Stakes, Tor
two-year-olds, and Coney Island Derby,

attends the races here on Saturday, and as
the weather is charming and the track
good and fast, capital sport may be ex-

Forecasts for tha
COniaix REontlt.


Irl r. Hicks In tue current Word Works,
a st. Louis periodical, makes meteoro-
logical prediction for October, which is
given below. II Is especially interestingly
reason OF the fact that MIR. Hicks prognos-
tications for this month made public In
August were fully verified. For octoberhe
says:
The secondary storm movements men.
toned 1T the close of our September fora-
casts, Will run their course by the lst or 81
OF D .tober-wtll be attended by rain IN
southerly regions, turning most likely to
slest and snow In the north, followed by
cold.
The first storm period proper for October
Is central on the 9th, wlth the planet bier-
curry central at II disturbing point on the
4th. This combination, especially during
this Jovlan time OF general meteorological
violence, Will If every probability produce
storms which will call for vatchiulness and
care. NorthHestcrly storms are apt TO BIO
severe, covering this lako regions and en-
dangerlng navigation from about the Sd to
the 9Th. Many parts OF the country Will
most likely be visited by heavy sleet during
the storms of this period. About the first
genuine polar wave IS likely to appear at
or about this time, aud 20 encounter retlr-
ing equatorial storms toward the Atlantic
COASTS. Some cold days will follow, until
the temperature reacts for minor storm
about the 18th or 18th,
The appalling tulfillment Of our calcula-
lions for the period in which we write this
forecast, September 10th to 10th, together
with the rec 3rd going before It, confirm us
in the belief that TO u greater or less extent
October disturbances will partake OF the
character OF those Of preceding months,
calling for promptness aud care In gather
ing and storing tue produces OF the season,
and causing inland navigation to be pre-
matuIaly precarious. We deprecate any
radical departure from usual methods, but
insist upon vlgtianee,a and q ready common
sense holding OF tina reins. We calculate
that the period running from about the 18th
10 the 2Uth Is one IA which such care should
be exercised. Ihe 10th, l7th, 18th and 10Th
are days Ia Which general autumaal dis
turbanees ought TO pass eastward across
tho contlnant. The high barometer follow
ing thass disturbances viii give place to
reactlcnary storms OF energy aoout the 23d
and Gath. A prompt and sharp reaction
into frosty, cold days will follow.
From about the 27th TO November Is a
regular and marked storm period Do
ready for suoh vicissitudes rs follow such
storms Ut such u seHson, aud for the cold
following tie storms Into November, Have
3 care Tor your fuel, and your helpless de-
pendent stock.

bined on the Dueher enterprise and ex-

dispatch from New York says that four OF
the largest jobbers In the country. from

have gone out OF the trust. The fight has
been the most bitter ever known, and the

THE BIO BEND FAILURE.
A River Drained Ina Hopes of EInd-
ing His HsOItynl Lined EyitIt dam.

AhE hs" AAVttSth " tAh
Ban FRAsoIsoo, CAL, Sept. 26.-In regard
to the Big Bend mining failure reported
from Buffalo yesterday, Caliiornians say
they never had much faith In the Hchome,
though they admired its ingenuity. The
proposition was to bore u tunnel two mites
through mountain and through It drain
IA miles OF the bed of tue Feather river.
Mr.. Mclaughlin OF Butte county, who de-
vised the scheme. claimed the company
could clean up millions in gold dust which
had lodged ut Big Bend Placer mines In the
early days, take fortunes out OF the river q
little further up, as samples sand from the
river bend were very rich. MI. Mclaughlin
succeeded in enthusing DR.. Plerceand work
was begun.
Four years were spent in boring a tun-
mel through rock, for l2,0O0 feet. When
finished 1t proved too small and was en-
larged from by l6 feet. to IL by IL. Then
about year ago the water YVES turned into
the tupnel and the river bed drained. But
fortune was not found, as 1t proved very
expensive to get gold from under the big
boulders in the river bed. Then Pierce
who had sank over million dollars be-
came disguised and the whole undertaking
which had cost about S2,0OO,OD0 Will be
dropped. It is reported that a large mum
ber OF newspaper men In New York have
lost heavily IN the enterprise.
