HIcks's Prophecies.


ST. LouIs March 29.-Rev. Ira r. Hicks.
of this city. who has achieved much more
than local reputation as a weather prophee
and who predicted the late storm with won
derful accuracy, now gives a forecast for
April which includes numerous marked
changes in temperature and three distinct
storm periods. lie says the month will open
with & SIMMER temperature and yernal
storms will occur on the Isl and %, especial
ly on the q. The 9th, 7th, sth, and 9th are
designated as danger days. when there will
be heavy storms Of lighting. wind and hail,
with snow in Northern sections. About the
18th il will be cold, with much frost. Active
and violent storms will again occur on the
18th, 20Th, and 2lst, moving from the West
10 the East From this on there will be the
usual April showers, and the month will go
out with high thermometer. The dates of
greatest earthquake probabilities are given
as the 5th i9ih, Goth and 2ist
Prof George Root, of Canton, No. aroth-
er successful weather prognoscator, predicts
a tornado period from the goth to the 25th
Of April, and says il will be the wost storm
period Of the year. He says this has not
been predicted by any other meteorologis..
and asks that phenomena occurring between
the dates named be specially noted by
weather observers aud reported to him. He
thinks it will establish the existence of the
Nero planet Urbanus.

Another New state.

From the New York Press.
The Wyoming Admission bill, which has
passed the House, will undoubtedly also
meet the approval Of the Senate, and We
shall soon have another vigorous young
state in the Union. The Senate with its
greater conservatism may amend the bill
50 as to shut Off the woman suffrage, which
is provided by the constitution Of Wyoming
and recognized in the House bill But Wyo-
ming is comingin as a State with OF without
female voters Il is the generous policy Of
Republioanism to wipe out Territorial forms
of government as speedily as possible, and
bring every citizen Of the country upon an
equal plane and footing at the earliest mo-
ment possible. The Territorial governments
were never intended to be fixed, OF to extend
beyond the period when the citizens Of the
Territories became ripe for Statehood The
Democratic party stopped the growth Of the
Union because it wanted the Territories for
the old peculiar institutions" Of the South.
They admitted new States again Just as the
administration of Grover Cleveland was
coming 10 AN end because they wished to
rob the incoming Republican party of The
power they knew il would exercise in that
direction. Il was Republican determination
and fxednoss Of purpose and policy con
cerning the Territories that brought about
the admission Of Montana, the Dakotas and
Washington. After Wyoming will come
other States, as the remaining Territories
become ripe for Statehood.

THE claim Of Wyoming 10 Statehood

The Governor II Prnnsylyanis, in obedl-
ence q, the request at The legislature, has
designated Frsisy. A'ril IL. and Friday,
May 2, 10 be observed rs Arbor days in
Pennsylvania, and has issued proclamation
TO that effect The object Of having TWO
days instead Of one, as heretofore, the mean
ing of Arbor day and the necessity for iis
general observance, are very well described
in the words Of the proclamation, which
says:
In those portions Of the Commonwealth
where the climatic conditions are favorable,
the day first above q .med should be o5serv-
ed for tree planting and conducting such
other exercises as have been usual, or may
be desirable In oar schools and by the pub
lie generally. In the higher attitudes and
more northerly latitudes Of the Common
wealth, the day last named can be observed.
The Executive cordially eommends to all
the people of the Common wealth the general
observance of the one or the other of these
days for the purposes named, and woilid
further suggest that. as a means of giving
practical direction TO the thought and effort
of the people, village improvement societies
might be organized, looking TO the beautify-
ing, not only of school grounds, but The
general planting of tress and otherwise
making attractive the streets and public
places of our town and villages. Such or
carnations have been productive of much
good in many parts of the country, and can
not fail to be beneficial If carefully organized
and judieiousiy conducted.
Arbor Day might also be advantageousiy
used for the organization of forestry associ-
atoms, looking to die dissemination Of use
ful information upon the subject of the
preservation of our present forests. and re-
oresting the waste lands of the Common
wealth The subject is one of great impor-
tance, from many points Of view, and can
no; fail 10 commend itself to the thoughtful
citizen who is mindful of the needs of the
present and the demands of the future.
Let the people everywhere throughout the
Commonwealth unite in the observance of
Arbor Day for the present year, and make
i; such day of brightness and usefulness

future viii he anticipated wilh expectations

Living In Trees.

VIoKsBURc, March 30.-In the Laconia
Circle which is situated in Desha county,
Ark, and comprises about 10000 acres, the
scene is heartrending one. This strip OF
country is now inundated to a depth of TO
20 feet and the inhabitants, numbering be-
tween 1000 and 5000 people-whites and
negroes women and children-are peIchtd
on housetops and hay stacks and in the
trees. Livestock not already drowned are
maintaining a precarlous existence with
their wretched owners. in some instances on
the roofs Of residences and elsewhere on i'm
provised platforms Of wreckage. Starvation
is telling on the cattle, while the human vic
tins are in scarcely less deplorable condition
as to food. From Helena the entire Mississ-
ppi delta country, reaching from Yieksburg
