WTGGLNS AND VANKEUREN.

It's perfectly natural for editors to joke weather prophets whenever the latters' predictions fail. Editor Van Keuren, of the Winsted Evening Citi- zen, can spmpathize with Wiggins, for he now "knows how it is himself. !" The heavy rain last Saturday prevented the boat races taking place.at Highland lake. The Citizen of Friday evening made the following prediction
 The races on Higland lake tomorrow are booked for dead certainty this time. The weather will be fine, the races superb, the crowds immense, the dancing very graceful, the shore dinner agpetizing, and all things will work together properly and in good shape. We give you this confdentially- have had a communication. But it has got to come, all of it, just as we tell you.
 The Citizen of Saturday evening could only say I:
 The fine day promised us yesterday by special communication, has failed rapped us up probably being little of their base. However, the rainy regatts weather, will, like Lewis Andrews religious, scientific and ,philosophit communications, come to an end some time-and then there will be fair sailing for all hands. Don't ask us when the regatta will be held. We don't know but it has got to take place this yea1 soma time-and the only way at present seems to be to "wait till you get it anG if you don't get 1t. wait till you do."

[ As the subject of the choice of the " National Flower" is being discussed so earnestly, why not select the big sunflower, which waves so happy and modest to the breeze. It is pronounced as safeguard against malaria, the seed is excellent food for the feathered bipeds, and in the gathering of a boquet much valuable time is spared. The stalk, when dry, is good fire wood, it is easily cultivated, and who, with 6 liberal mind, can say aught against the happy sunfower as being our country's national flower.
