Raphael. Linnehan and February.

Desiring it to be clearly understood that the weather is not required in the making of gossip in this place, it is needful to direct attention to the extraordinary changes of the sunshine, the southwind s breath, the cold, the warmth, the rain, the dust and all the rest of weather signs in these lengthening days and shortening nights that in riotousness make for the so- briety of the Lenten time.
 Thursday. Friday, and most of Saturday were perfect in their wonderful sunshine and inspiriting wintry atmosphere. With nightfal came rainfall the last day of the week. and the rain fell more or less throughout Saturday night and until noon of Sunday. the downpour being very heavy about 10 o'clock that morning. About noon the rain ceased, the weather cleared, and the wind from the south soft and low did blow so sweetly that the twilight was as the gloaming of Maytime. At o'clock Sun day night the rain began again, and by 2 o'clock after midnight it fell heavily and a cold stiff wind was blowing from the northwest Yet yesterday was day of marvellous brightness, and in degree of codness it has been surpassed by but one other sunshiny day this winter. Thus runs the mad pace of the weather
 It comes to this much now: The ground hog was on Saturday living witness that we are to have six weeks of wintry weather before springtime buds to bloom, and the grounding is borne out in part by Raphael, the greatest astrologer of the world and by Pat Linnehan of Birmingham, now in the full enjoyment of well-merited fame as designer of weather as well as of jewels Rather should it be said that Ra- phael and Linnehan are supported in their views by the groundhog which got divil of a fright by his own shadow last Satur- day. several weeks after Raphael and Lin- nehans views had been given in this place to the world
 Ad astra per aSpera. Selah.
 Throughout all occidental lands or that is lands which from our viewpoint are of the Occident, but which to those we term orientals are of the Orient, February is ever a dreaded month. This is particularly true in the Low countries of continental Europe and of the British Isles and the United States. In Scotland, England. Wales and Ireland they still repeat numberless couplets, rhymes, proverbs, ancient saws and modern instances in a sort of general cursng of the second month of the year, a period which gave grave trouble to Pope Julian nearly two thousand years ago and afterwards to Pope Gregory some fifteen centuries later. Farmers and gardeners and fruit-growers fear Febuary most on ac- count of their crops; others fear it on ac- count of their personal health A mild open February is calamitous; a cold cheerless February is a great blessing. Therefore let us hope that the coming three weeks will be constantly, bitterly cold! Linnehan says we are in for terrible weather. So say Ra- phael and the grounding.

The Counties and Birmingham.

Somebody writing from Perry County a man said yesterday, declares that there are about 800 Perry County natives living in Birmingham, and that Perry has from first to last invested about $2000, GOO In this city. don't know where the writer could have gotten his figures, but certain 1t is that Birmingham owes a great debt to the great county of Perry, for large number of the very best citizens of Birmingham hail from that Blackbet county. They range from Judge W. W. Wilkerson, an honored example through all the worthy walks of busy life, and Perry's gifts in- clude so great an institution as Howard College.
 "Every county in Alabama has contrib uted well to Birmingham's greatness, and therefore Birmingham is the most truly Alabamian of all the communities of this State The counties which have given most to Birmingham are perhaps Montgomery Dallas, Perry.

Down with "old Glory"

"On the dead walls of Birmingham is picture of an impossible young man and an impossible young woman in an impossible position on ,an impossible summit, swinging an impossible flag and apparently shouting old glory foreverr the whole thing being an advertisement of some play past or to come called old Glory or something or the sort, and 1t is very sore to the inflrmi- ties of an ordinary mans temper, said long-suffering person.
 'I wouldn't witness any theatrical play, wouldn't read any book or newspaper ar ticle. in which the American flag was re- ferred to as old glory. Might as well call the flag old smoke old air. old fuss and fume,' or old nightmare, and better to describe 1t as old rag old blanket, old line,' or any other old substance. It makes me weary, sick at heart, that lang uage of the street gammin and gutter used to designate the proud flag of the proudest of all the nations of the world Old Glory that utterly meaningless, most silly, ridicI- lous, insane of all the slang phrases coined of vulgarity supplanting the cherished and historically significant Stars-and-Stripes' and thereby belittling the glorious flag of our country should arouse the resentment of all enlightened and patriotic Americans; and how such Americans can lend them selves to such ribadry passes my under standing. Down with Old Glory! Up with the Stars-andStripes, the Star-Spangled Banner, the Flag of Our Union, the glor- ious American flag! Our fiag-right or wrong-our flag and our country for eyer!'

THEIR TROUBLES ARE DOUBLED.
Machinists Jailed For Failure to Give
Bond.

Chris Balch and John Smith, two OF
the foreign machinists who came to
Americas to take the places of the
strikers, were landed in Jail yesterday
because of their inability to give bond
OF 800 each for their appearance at
court az witnesses in state case.
This imprisonment prevents their
leaving Americas, as they proposed
dong, having quit the employ of the
road here on Thursday last.
Verify, their pathway in Americas
was not strewn with roses.
Nearly a month ago Balch and Smith
accompanied two or three of the Ameri-
Gus strikers into the woods one Sunday,
and afterwards reported to their shop
friends that the strikers had abused
and maltreated them.
The grand jury promptly indicted
the three striking machinists.
Balch and Smith were Summoned as
witnesses, but the case was transferred
to the City Court and may be heard in
August. Two or three dfYs ago these
men, with four of their fellows, decid-
ed to quit the Seaboard shops and re-
turn to their homes in Baltimore.
