HICKS FOR SEPTEMBER.

September enters as regular storm
period expires. The moon is at perigee
on the first, approaching her first quart
or and greatest south destination on the
Ord and 4th. Many squalls and heavy
gales are probable about the 1st, as the
sequal to the last August disturbance.
Rising pressure and change to cooler
may follow briefly, but on and touch.
ing the 4th and 9Th, storm conditions
will again traverse the country from
west to east, and be followed by
strong winds, shifting to north
westerly, with change to much cooler
about the 9th to 9Th. For the Vucan
period central on the 10th, the date of
full moon on the equator, we indicate
in the storm diagram longer period
of disturbance than ordinary. We are
now nearing the center of earth's au-
tunnal equinoxj the planet Jupiter is
in conjunction with the sun on the 18th,
at which time we also enter the dis
turbed period of Mercury. From the
10th to 18th, moon will pass from the
celestial equator to her extreme north
point in the heavens. Therefore, from
about the 10th, warm winds will flow
from the equator northward, the ba-
rometor will fall and heavy storms &C.
companied by wind and thunder will
cross the country on and touching the
10th to 18th. A sharp fall in
temperature, severe in the far
north, may take place about the
18th to 18th, but conditions call for re.
newed storms about the 10th to 18th,
keeping a state of threatening unset
tied wenther throughout the Mercury
period snd into the Vulcan period CEN
trail with earth's equinox on 22nd.
Storms of decided energy are probable
from Tuesday 21st, to Friday oath;
new moon on the equator and near per-
igee from 25th to S8th, indicate that
warm weather and many atmospheric
disturbances are to be expected from
about the Goth to near the close of the
month. The idea that if vast, equinoc.
tial storms do not occur on the 22nd OF
September there is no danger before or
after that date, is fallacy that many
people indulge who ought to know bet
ter. The earth gradually approaches
and recedes from the point in its orbit
where the sun strikes centrally on our
equator, bringing the turn in the sea.
soas in both hemispheres, but the
storms arising from this fact are as apt
to be violent and dangerous two weeks
before or after, ss on the central day.
Some wiseacres who boot at the idea of
"equinoctial storms" seem not to know
that in all nations and ages the fact has
been recognized, and that special in
functions to watch for danger at such
time are laid upon commanders of fleets
and navies all over the world.

TIE KINDERGARTEN.

As the time to reopen the kindergar-
ten draws near the question of finances
is one which the Alexandria Kinder
garten Association has to face and if its
members will remember this and send
in their subscriptions early, it will
greatly facilitate the work of the board
OF managers. This association has been
doing fine work among little children
for the past two years and it is hardly
to be thought the good people of Alex
andria will fall to give this work their
support in future. Subscriptions were
received from the following persons
some months ago, but have not been
acknowledged in the GAZETTE before:
Mrs. Annie Johnston, Mrs. Hesselius
Smith, Mrs, Thos. F. Burroughs, Mrs.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANs.-Mr. Park
Agnew, who was recently elected
chairman of the republican State COM
mittee, was seen in Lynchburg yester-
day by a reporter, and asked his opin.
ion In regard to the action of Colonel
Lamb in calling State convention to
meet in Lynchburg October 9Th. Mr..
Agnew said that none of the committee
would have anything to do with the
convention. He did not know what
support Colonel Lamb would receive
from the rank and file of the party,
nor could he conjecture what would be
the attendance at the convention.
A dispatch from Richmond says
Judge Waddill and Col. Jas. D. Brady,
leading Virginia republicans, laugh at
Colonel Lambs call for State con.
yentlon.
The Newport News republican club
yesterday indorsed Colonel Lamb and
denounced the republican State com
mittee.

SENATOR BURROWS, in speaking OF
the provision of the new tariff bill i'm.
posing an additional tax of ten per
cent. on imports via Canada, for the
sole benefit of the Pacific railroads,
says it is possible that the section OF
the bill containing it was not given
thorough consideration in all its bear
ings." That is roundabout way OF
expressing Mr.. Speaker Reeds idea,
which is that the provision referred to
got in by "slip," or Senator Chand-
ler's, that it was inserted by a trick. "
But rose by any other name will
smell as sweet.

for sound money, but are unable to see
how they can help the cause any by
butting their heads every year against

help the cause, and that republicans de-

Bowden says the republicans will unite

democracy of Virginia as he got last
wear, when he did the same thing,
though two weeks before the election
then held, it is stated, he informed an
alderman of Richmond that he would
