For the past two or three days we have
been noting the weather conditions on the
British coasts with special interest. On the
morning Of the Goth the HEnAID Weather
Bureau cabled storm warning to London,
which predicted the arrival on the Central
and Northern Atlantic coasts Of Europe Of
o storm which would be attended by gales,
rain and snow, between the 25th and 28th-
that is to say, the storm movement over the
coasts would occur during the interval
marked by these dates, both inclusive We
print this morning special despatch from
London announcing the remarkable fulfil
mentof the prediction, together with de.
tails confrmatory thereof which come in
our general cable dispatches. The storm
arrived on the day named in our warming,
and is abating toward the date mentioned
as limiting its duration in Western and
Central Europe. But it's progress has
been marked by frightful ravages, and in
some places its force is characterized as un-
exampled. Anything moro tragic than the
death Of the priests in their ruined churches
in Italy cannot well be imagined. They
were crushed out OF life by the debris
of falling roof and vault. with the
words Of prayer on their lips and
amid their trembling and wounded
focks Then there are the awful
scenes Of wreck on the coasts and devasta-
tion in the interior. The deluging rain
swelled the rivers into irresistible volumes
of water which swept away everything that
impeded their furious progress The trans
atlantic movement of American storms has
once more received q terrible illustration.
Yet we have no doubt the savans (?) who
have been straining their wits to find proofs
to the contrary will continue to ignore such
facts and comfort themselves with the hope
that they may die before they are found
out. They must sacrifice their vanity or
yield to journalism the field of progressive
scientific inquiry.

Yesterday, and for several DAYS past, il
was rumored on the streets that case OF
yellow fever existed and death had oc,
CURED within day or two At Leath Orphan
Asy lum, which Institution Is located out on
the Raleigh road half mile from the city
limits. An Appeal investigator was dele
gated to hunt up the facts. From his in-
vestigations the following may be relied up
on as correct In November last a Young
woman, aged about IS years, a cripple and
invalid, and former inmate OF the Asylum,
took the fever, and, after lingering for some
weeks with very bad type OF yellow lever,
recovered in December. Within week or
so little orphan boy of weak constitution
and in bad health contracted the yellow
fever, he having been, no doubt, exposed to
it in the case first mentioned.
He got along very well Tor
a couple Of weeks, it being very light at
tack, and at last was able to be up and run
about. About Christmas he had relapse,
and this time bad and malignant case OF
yellow fever Of pure type. DR.. Ess, the at
tending physician, believed that the boy
would die, his constitution being weak, but
he recovered from the attack, only, how
ever, to be again prostrated with meningitis,
which was consequence OF the yellow
fever relapse. The boy is now sitting up, Is
out of danger, and is in fair way OF re-
covery. Our commissioner asked DR.. Ess
for an opinion as to the probability of the
appearance of the yellow fever next sum
mer. The Doctor said that he believed the
late freezing snap OF weather had destroyed
all the germs of the yellow fever. But, he
added, it might be that such germs may
yet exist, not actually, but passiveIy, in
buildings wherein yellow fever patients had
died, and which buildings had not been
properly fumigated and ventilated. Should
this be 30, it might break ont sgain next
summer in such buildings. He believed
that the only true preventive was a rigid
system OF quarantine, he not believing that
yellow fever was indigenous to any portion
of the United States, and most certainly it
could not originate in this latitude

In the line of Democratic ''retrenchment
and reform" the Chicago Tribune thinks
Senator Lamar "takes the rag off the
bush" and goes a length ahead OF any of
his sspiriug colleagues. lie gave notice in
the Senate a short time since that he would
introduce bill a, an early day, providing
that each Senator should he furnished at
the public expense with private Secretary.
The Tribune, commenting upon this amend
ment says:


In vulgar phrase, Senator Lamar, of Niss,s-
sippi, has taken ..ihs rag of the bush, hav-
ing given notice that at an early day he will
Introduce bill providing that Senators shall
be furnished at the public expense each with
private Secretary. The gentleman from
Mississippi is evidently nothing IL not high
toned and sumptuous, and Is determined to
add still more style and importance TO his
Office. Having n private Secretary,
IL Will be necessary OF course to
have an office and "a Janiior for him.
Then, 10 preserve The unities aud not appear
mean, the secretary should have clerk, and
the clerk should have an assistant, and there
should be messenger To do the running.
Thus each Senator would have a little court
about hin of which he wonId be the head,
and would live in style and state like the
old knights With their sluires and retaineis
IL does not seem to have occurred TO Senator
Lamar, however, that there are so gentle
men in the other House who already look
upon the Senators a. too airy and I'm mpOrtant !;
that these 800 gentlemen OF the lower
crust Will have the voting Of the appro-
priatioa for the gentlemen Of the upper
crust and that these SD will Sc the
seventy-siN aristoc-stic gentlemen good
ways farther before they will vote them

have the same privilege. As they have sense
enough TO know tnat such a raid upon the
Treasury would bring down popular huIri-
cane upon their heads, there need be no fear
that they will ever vote cent out of the
Treasury for the payment OF Mr.. Lamar's
retinue OF scribblers. The only way for Mr..
Lamar to get his private secretary is TO pay
him out Of his own pocket a small stipend,
which We believe even then the hirelIng
would find difficulty in earning. Mr.. Lamar

This afternoon Mr.. Andrew Wallace


rode his horse across the ice bridge-a diff.


cult feat in i.sslf-but not satisfied with


this ascendcd TO the summit of the ice


mountain 4, the base of the American Fall.


The sight from the cliffs on the Canada
side which wore covered with a large crowd
Of visitors, was thrilling one. Slowly the
horse tciied up the steep slippery side Of
the great ice cone, winding round the foot
path ill the summit was reached. Here,
enyeloPei in cloud Of mist. which con-
cealed the white cone itself,
horse and rider looked like some
weird aPparition suspended in midair. For
some time the horse went careering about
over the oreS; OF the cone, where one false
step might have hurled both him and bis
rider into the fathomless, foaming gull, full
seventy feet below. Presently the daring
horsensn rode slowly down the path, and,
crossing the ice bridge, regained the Cans
dian side. Both he and his horse were
drenched with spray. The in
telligeni, sure footed animal who played
such prominent part in this feat of un-
psrslleltd daring was a moderate sized
brown gelding, with four white feet and
snip on the nose. This is certainly strong
argument in support OF the theory that
horses marked with white are more inteii-
gent than whole colored ones.

The dream OF his life and goal Of his am
bition has been a seat in the United States
Senate, but the gods have been against
him until now. One OF the striking iea-
lures OF the canvass was that nearly all the
leading men OF the party, if not opposed to
his election, were not his advocates. He is,
therefore, the child of the mssses-the
choice OF the country Misunderstanding
success by indomitable perseverance and the
strong hold he had gained on their regard
in the numberless political campaigns in
which he had been engaged. lie was ad-
mitted to the bar before he was u years
old, by act Of the Legislature. The new
Senator excels before jury and on the
hustiDgs by his exuberant rhetoric and
wide range of thought rather than by close
reasoning and exact logic. The short hand
reporters will find him hard man To re-
port in the Senate il he gets warmed up
and lets loose his fancy. He is about so
years old and has a young and beautiful
wife, never having been married until
within few wears.

against existing systems of money facili-
ties.


During the war, in 1862, the Govern
ment was driven to the necessity of issu-
ing paper money to pay the soldiers for
their services in the field, and the farmers
for their subsistence to feed them. This
was last resort to which it was forced
by the greedy sharks who controlled the
money in refusing to loan except at such
rates of interest that it was impossible to
comply. Finding the greenbacks more
desirable money than any other, the peo-
pie were anxious to perpetuate their exist
ence, not only on account of their conven-
fence and safety, but because they were
liberated thereby from the tolls of the
sharks who had hitherto manipulated all
money Transactions SO as to obtain the
largest shares of the products of the diff
ferent industries. Had they possessed the
same facilities to cheat the producers of
wealth under the greenback system as
under the national banks, the act to
strengthen the public credit" would new

of its infamous authors handed down to

true index to the workings of their sys-
tens. If they be in i'll health, the comb
will lose coler aud will become far less firm
