Aveling Is Shut Out.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-Aveling, the Social
list, having failed to make the deposit re-
quired by the English law on the part of
a candidate for parliament, has been
compelled to retire from the contest in
Northampton. When the Social Demo-
cratic federation refused to advance
money for Aveling's candidacy it was
thought that the Tories would do so in
order to keep him in The field and divide
the Liberal vote. The Tories, however,
resolved to let Aveling shift for himself.

to parliament yesterday relating to the
American reciprocity treaty with Brazil,
and as to whether Great Britain would
have equal commercial advantages in Bra

LONDON, Feb. 10.-The news of Baron
Hirsch's immense gift for the benefit of
Russian and Polish Jews immigrating to
considerable satisfaction in Loudon, as
there is strong opposition both among the
working classes and business men to any

vent it. The latest arrivals from Russia,
on their way to America, are of the most
squalid description and it is probable that
local authority would have interfered to
prevent their remaining here, even if the
imperial government had not acted.

our ears no longer. And 50 we stumble
on, plying ourselves for the hard TINS we
have to endure on earth, and singing our
songs of 'the sweet by and by" as if
there were some saving merit in having
patience with time, and in dreaming OF a
broader aud happier realm that We call

The conditions have been favorable to

melons and other vine truck, retarding
ripening as well as seriously affecting their

Severe thunder storms have character
lied the week, but fortunately doing little
damage to crops, except in the West-cen-

corn and buckwheat were badly prostrated
and in some fields the stalks were broken
by the high wind which accompanied the
storm.

Rev. Irl Hicks makes the following me-
teorological forecast for September in IFord
and IKorks:-
About the I'd it will turn warm in the
West. and as the wave moves eastward it
will increase in heat, eliminating in some
heavy storms, and perhaps earthquake dis
turbances, thin thirty-six hours of the
time of new moon on the Sd. A sharp
fall of temperature will follow until about
the 9Th.
A regular storm period is central on the
7th. There is an equinox of Mercury on
the Sth. moons first quarter is on the 11th,
and the electrical antagonism of sun and
earth is at its maximum on and about the
same date. Disturbances OF great energy,
therefore. may be expected in the earth
and atmosphere between the 18th and 11rh.
The progressive presence of very warm
wave from the west will be the harbinger
Of storms which may work ruin and disas-
ter on sea, lake and land, if not avoided
by watchful precaution. \ very cool wave
sharp and sudden to the North, will most
likely appear behind the storms of this
period. Unsettled weather with fuctua-
tions Of temperature, is apt to run beyond
the reaetionary storm days, 18th and 14th,
after which pleasant bright days and
nights will follow up to the next storm
period.
On September IS we reach the center OF
a disturbed period which will cover the
central day of the earth's equinox. which
dates viii also be affected by the growing
Venus disturbance, central October I. If
storms of great severity DO not occur be-
tween the 17th and 22G, meteorological COM
pensations in phenomenal temperatures and
earthquakes must result. Very high tenn
perature with storms will be. natural at
this time. Look for far-reaching cool to
cold wave at the close of these disturbances.
Remembering that we have already enter
ed the Neans perturbation at this time,
and that such periods are always ehaIac-
terized by sudden extreme of heat and
cold, we should be prepared for very high
temperature, ending in storms, and drop
ping quickly to the frost and freezing points
to the northward. The same will apply to
reactionary changes on and next to the
Gath. The prevailing autumnaI equinox,
blended with approaching Venus, an un-
usual conjunction OF nearly all the planets
with each other and the sun, all added to
the fact that Saturn is passing his equinox,
make the outlook an exceedingly interest
ing one to all interested in planetary me-
teorology. We shall expect more than
the ordinary gales and storms during the
month. many of them overlapping the
limits of the regular storm periods.
a regular storm period is central on the
Both, insuring rising temperature for
closing September, and bringing in
autnmnal storms for opening October

In the negative Secretary Foster will en-
dsayor to persuade Mr. Blaine to make
public his determination not to be a can
didate under any circumstances, and bis
preference for Mr.. Harrison. 1t is notice
able that many prominent Republicans
who have previously opposed Mr. Blaine's
Presidential aspirations are now in favor
sf his nomination, and that is what has
caused HI. Harrison TO think that the time
has some when either he or Mr.. Blaine
should formally announce the position they

stosiss ~ this are smiled at In Washington,
but ewing TO the source from which this
