And borest with thy staff and rod the brunt

Who parley d'st with the Almighty on the

And smotest granite into crystal fount,
Drawing the darkness, famine, plaques ana

OF the Egyptian exodus; who dds st toll

And recapitulate laboriously

Synopsis Generally fair weather is the re-
port this morning over the United States, al
though clouds prevail in all sections border
ing on the Atlantic coast and somewhat un-
settled conditions occupy the region Of the
upper lakes and parts of the Northwest. No
general precipitation has occurred in any par
ticular district, but the light and widely scat
tered showers have fallen chiefly in the Mis-
sissppi and Missouri valleys
There is not any distinct storm area in
sight. The barometer registers low Ia the
West and a disturbance may develop later
out Of this condition. a warm wave covers
the interior of the country, the morning read
ings in the lake region being above 20 degrees.
Ii is cool along the Middle and North Allan
tic coasts, owing TO the cloudiness and east
erly winds. Tomorrow promises TO be much
warmer, however.
Some local showers have fallen in vicinity
of Boston since yesterday morning-otherwise
the weather at the New England States has
remained fair and the skies are clear in the
interior. A dense fog exists on the Southern
coast.
