It con be staled though that Hie Administration will not take any part tor or agaiict a-.iy candidate for Speaker in the organ iratl or. of the House. While Us President iaijt feel gratified at the electien of Keifer, a former colleague and presert friend, he other friends who are candidates for Speaker and will not even intimate a preference for any one.

There are erght candidates named froui the Republican tide, as -follows: 1 Keifer of Ohio; Kasson, of Iowa; Hiticock, of ev,' York; Robeson, of New Jmey; rurrows and JIubbell, ol Michigan; Id" of Maine; and Orth, of Indiana. Keifer. is the most active so far, but the interest of .Kasson are not by any means bein overlooked, as he has some iowerful frlende. Hiecock also has considerable outftteR rup port, but how the figUtn Now York b-etween the Stalwarts and tle At-min-1'stratior. may. atfect his prospects can not yet be told. lrior to the Senatorial contest in "New Tork it was claimed for Hicook that he had more positive strength than any .other -candidate. In connection with the " Speakership there is a good deal said ire . fflinong Congressmen, e.ConCTesjmen and Congressmen-elect as to xrhat Conkling and the .Suil warts mav do. An cx-Congressman who is taking much interest in the Sjeakerehip"s content, -says: "The Stalwarts will Jiave a selection öf their own for Speaker, and Crowley -of New York, is mentioned."" This theory of a. Stalwart tight, however, seems to be an -extreme .view. A member who lias talked i'h, all other Republican members whom he has met on the subject of Speaker, siis tte .sla!wart and anti-Stalwart issue will not enter into the contest at all. If the Republicans had a good sized majority that question might be fought over, but their hold uj-on the nest House is so stern that they will bec2f9ful to avoid all subjects calculated to -create dissension. There will be competition for the compliment of the Deuiocrauc nomination, though it looks as if Randall will ?et it. Blackburn's friends will vnsh him for it, and Cox will also be voted for in caucus. .The Creenbackers irill nominate a .candidate, and some favor Kelly, of Pennsylvania. The defection of Speer, Independent Democrat, of Georgia, 'has put a hamper on the plans to defeat the Kenubliean organization jay a comoinaticn of the Democratcand Grenbackers, thouglh there are ome prominent Denucrats wlxa srill bold t it that something may turn up to deprive the .Republicans of their small majorities. Should the Republicans he defeated inryoaand Morten's District., it would render the organization of the next House doubtful; bet advices received here from Maine are .that the election of Dingley (Republican to succeed Frye is assured, as the Democrats and Oreenbacters are not fusing harmoniously .against him. The Republicans adnrit that the election of a Deni- . ocrat in New Yttrk, -to succeed Morton, is , probable, and K seems to be generally con- . ceded that a IVixocrAtcan be elected to suc- . ceed Fernando VooVi, unless they get into a , squabble in the district.

Clur in the Situation nl 11 Sides Firm Cmnklinß Cotißdet wad lepew Still wi TTie Track. Albakv, N. Y.; June 2G. There is talk of a pror ramme for', this week to tie effect that a Stalvcrt and upiorter of tiie Administration cill be elected before its close, but the tali;, when followed to its source, is found to proceed from those who have no vote'inthe Joint Convention and. have no cw rdl over them. Tlx; niest sensible view of lV situation seents to be contained iu fnlloTviixr statement bv one who has brw-n a close observer .from the start. He says: "This Legislature ce.n not elect. Tliat tan ; members know the views of their resyettive constituenccs better than do any meelse, an J that notwithstanding all the tr.lk of misrepresentation, they are voting fart as they believe their constituents want them to. The real fact , is, he savs, the Stefc; is very much sut ui in the matter. Some want Conkling 'rod 1'iatt returned; some do not; some want ! men -who are dirert'v oiiosed to their iniachine methods, and some do not; some i want entirely new wen seiecieu uu u uran record against factonisni, ana some want j - men who represent the factions. This divorsitvetf sentime:itis daily presented in the voting for a half-dozen candidate for each vacancy. Dari: horses in such a -contest, he says, so long as one side counting over twenty-sevn$ votes will not accept Conk'ling and Piatt, and the other side iKvving also over twentv-seven votes-will aceept no onelse. There is but one wry to bind these contending factions, and that is by holding a caucus. Tlie caucus was devised and established for this purpose, but the opionents of Conkling and Piatt have from the outset reJ used party usage, and for good and sufficient precautionary reasons, tip to the present moment. The indications now, however, are that they could enter the caucus with more safety, though they still distrust the floating or scattering votes. Tlie Stalwarts, huJding the key to the deadlock, will have the advantage of party sentiment on their side at the closing of this contest, owing to the record they have made of being always willing to put in practice the party usage of the caucus, and abiding by its action. They still say what they said before the first vote was taken, tiet they win continue to vote for Conkling and Piatt until the caucus says thty must vote for other candidates, The other side is equally firm. Cahu observers, members of the Democratic party in both Houses, are sctished that no election can beheld. They have probed the intentions of each member to the bottom, and have entirely satisi'ed on that point; hence, they are a unit for adjournment and for putting an end to the expense to the State and destruction of the public men. This view of the matter is indorsed by the other class of observers. Some few members and Senators diave gone home. A far larger number, apart from those who have been absent several days, are hereabout, at Saratoga-or in New York; hence, there can be no consultation with this constituency during recess of .any' consequence. No credence is gi visu here to the reported statement of ex-Senator - Piatt that Deiv will be out of the race be fore the end of the week. In fact, shch a statement does not tally with the one following it, to the effect that then there will-be an adjournment and the ques tion sent to the ieople. If Depew is to be withdrawn, the natural inference would be that the opposition of the Stalwarts is broken. for it is scarcely possible they. would set up another candidate. It is dangerous to swap horses while crossing a stream. It is not believed here that- -ex-Senator Piatt ex pressed himself in the terms attributed to him. No significance 8 conned contest here, is attached to ex-enator Conklint's visit to Washington. When he left here he appeared to be in high spirits, and said the situation was as nigh to his wishes as it was possible for him to make it, and that under the circumstances it was perfectly satisfactory. " He appeared only anxious that it .should be Kent in statu quo until he returned. The leaders of the Administration forces insist it is the duty of this Legislature to elect two new Senators in place of those who resigned. and that it should not adjourn until this duty is accomplished. Hence, they say they are justified in opposing adjournment. and will continue the session until overpowered. They sny they have , accepted the -resignations ' in good faith, whether they scare tendered in that spirit or not, and they will never consent to a vote for their return. They feel too they owe it to their party of the State and of the country to re turn two Senators who will support heartily and without reservation President Garfield's Administration. A close friend of Leoew haid this evening there is not a particle of trutn in tne statement that lie intends with drawing from the Senatorial contest. TIm Democrat Making Capital Out of the Piat Halted Saturday N'o Indictment tobe found. 2"w York, June 27.

XO CBAKtiL AtaASY, June 27. There are no new developments in the Senatorial deadlock to-Kr.ght, and there are few reports in circulation as to what will be done" to-morrow rure than usual. The people seem disheartened, and they appear utterly devoid of both understanding and intelligence concerning the matter. Conkling, Piatt and a number of friends arrived on the' 10:15 train, and were received by tersons in wait in for them. They immediately went to their rooms. THE COMET. Professor Klein, of Kentucky, the DiscovererIt Has Grown Old to Hint aud lie Know It as he Would a Child. LorisviLLE, Ky., June 27. Professor Klein, of Hartford, Ky., claims that he discovered the comet now attracting attention, last Septetuber. In a letter published in the Courier-Journal of to-morrow he says: "This so-called newly discovered comet may be new to the world at large but it is not new to me, as I have been gazing upon thisvery comet ever since last September. You will remember that I told you in my letters that it would be visible to tlie naked eye in June or July, 161, and that it would not be seen again for seventy-nine years. Furthermore it is not the comet of l.sia but it is theconiet of 1873, which was supposed to have been the cause of the terrific atmospherical disturbance of that year. I feel that I know more about this comet than any otker astronomer, as I have nursnl it, as it were, from its first appearance until the present, and I know my comet by sight, just as a father would know his children by seeing them. Professor Swift and other eminent scientists have written to nie in regard to it from time to time ever since last fall." The Courier-Journal of September 5 contained an account of the discovery of this comet by Professor Klein, in which he at that time said: "I am of the opinion that the earth passed through the tail of the comet, and that its vapors so permeated our atmosphere here as to be the direct cause of the recent unprecedented rainfall all over tlie country. I believe it was the cause of the great snowstorm on the lakes early in the fall. Indeed, the tail of the comet may have actually swept all over that portion of the continent. Many of the recent hurricanes can, I think, be accounted for if we accept the above theory." Washtsgtox, June 27. At the Naval Observatory last night the position of the recently discovered comet at its lower culmination was found with transit circle to be five hours forty-eight minutes thirty-eight and four-tenth seconds right ascension, and fifty-seTen degrees, forty minutes, tifty-two seconds north declination. Time, 11:27 p. 111. A Terrific Storm la Washington. Washington', June 27. A fearful storm of thunder, lightning and wind, accompanied by hail, occurred here to-night. Some houses were blown down, iuanv unroofed, trees torn up. and sewers Hooded and burst. The roof of the Armory Medical Museum building, formerly Ford's Theater, in which Lincoln was killed, was torn in two and the two halves blown in different directions, and unroofed the Masonic Temple. The iron railing and ornaments were blown Irom the l'ension Oltice building, and damage done in all sections of the city. Ford's Opera House, City "Hall building and a large number of residences were unroofed. Shade trees were prostrated ami considerable damage done the fire alarm and other telegraph wires. Many cellars in the southern portion of the city were Hooded. The extent of the damage done to property in this city and Georgetown is variously estimated from $73,M to $100,000. Considerable anxiety is felt for the fafety of several excursion boats which left well tilled with passengers for different points down the river during the day and evening. It is feared the storm in, its passage southward, met them returning to Washington. O'.Mahoney, the American in Jail at Limerick. New York, June 27. A Cork dispatch states: "Colonel Rrooks, the American Consul at this place has returned from a visit to Henry O'Mahoney, now in Jail on the charge of having attempted to murder Mr. Cranston, Justice of the Peace of Rally Dellob. The Consul says O'Mahoney at the time of his arrest was serving in the poor law guardian office of trust under the laws of the United Kingdom. That O'Mahoney was a bonalide naturalized citizen of the United States before he accepted that office there seems to be no doubt bat the Consul refuses to express any further opinion on tLe premises. He has made a full rejort of the case to the American legation in London and to the Department of State at Washington. He says the 'suspected' of whom there are thirty-five in tlie Limerick Jail are remarkably well treated; are fed by the Land League and supplied with- clothing and bedding from the same source. Sheetf, pillow cases, blankets, mattresses, etc., all being marked 'National Land League.' He further savs the prisoners eniov open air ex ercises within the walled gardens of the prison daily and that they apieared to be in good spirits and health.' Wholesale Shooting at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, June 27. In the case of George Hillier, who shot and killed Walter Fink in the street last night, while the latter was talking to Maggie Savage, the fact has been developed to-day that Maggie is the wife of Hillier, who had forbidden her to see Fink. About an hour after the Fink tragedy another husband shot his wife and her paramour. James Gourley, who has been living apart from his wife for some time, entered her house through a window, about 11 o'clock last night, and found her in her room with Daniel Dougherty. Without saying a word he began shooting at both. Dougherty was shot twice in the shoulder, but not mortally wounded. Mrs. Gonrley received a bullet in her left breast which the doctors have not yet been able to extract. Gourley was arrested. What a Submarine Diver Found. JFokfolk, Va., June 27. Last week a submarine diver found a small safe in the aftercabin of the United States steamer Huron, tvrecired on the coast olf Kitty Hawk, N.' C, .November, 1877. The contents of the Kaie, opened to-day, were six Rritish sovcrign8 of various coinage, two silver medals in shape of a maltese cross, each bearing on the obverse in a circle, "Fidelity, real and obedience;" in the center, "U. 8. N." On the back of one is engraved, Henry F. Kmmerson. on the other. James Conch. One heavy plain eighteen carat eold rine (no name), aud silver coin of uncertain date. The safe&ad been searched for with interest, as it was Jhought to contain a large sura of money. No?e was found, however, and it Is presumed Ui h&vii belonged to one Of the olücers, and not the paymaster. 1

DEATH'S DOOR. Additional Particulars of the Terrible Accident on the Jlorelos Railroad. Over Two Hundred Human Beings Perlab, Many Being Cooked Alive Sixty Persona Saved But Helpless to Assist Their Dying Companions. THE MOKELOS WRECK, Two Hundred and Seven Persons Perish In the Accident on the Morelos Kallroad fa Mexico Fall Particulars. Chicago, June 27, City or Mexic, June 25. A roost terrible accident occurred late Friday night on tne Morelos Railway in Mexico, whereby over 200 people were burned and crushed to death.- The scene of the catastrophe was the River San Antonia, near the village of Mailpois, For some time -past this section of the country has been swept by fierce storms, swelling the creeks into torrents and laying waste many fertile fields. The bridge spanning the river at the point mentioned.' although known to be unsafe, was still n use when the fatal train bearing a battalion of soldiers attempted its passage. Tne result was a crash as the undermined supports gave way and the engine and cars were hurled headlong down the chasm. Scarcely had the magnitude of the tragedy become apparent when a new horror was added. In a freight car comprising a portion of the train was a consignment of alcohol. This took fire and a subsequent explosion contributed much to the loss of life. The few who escaped uninjured at once applied themselves to the rescue of their less fortunate comrades, but it was some hours before the extent of the tragedy grew apparent. It is now known, however, that thirteen officers and 192 privates were either killed outright by the fall or roasted to death, while fifty others sustained hurts of a more or less serious character. The train was entirely consumed, When information of the sad event readied this city the excitement was unbounded, and crowds thronged all the news centers anxiously awaiting particulars. Never in the history of the Republic has so frightful a casualty been chronicled, and its occurrence, it is feared, may still further prejudice the popular mind against railroad enterprises. However, "Los Gringos," as the natives term all "outside barbarians," can come in for no shure of the blame in this connection. Tlie Morelos Ro?d is a nar row gauge line built by a Govern went sub vention, and is entirely the workof Mexican engineers. It was first opened to the public on the 18th instant. In addition to the loss of life already presented, it appears that the engineer and fireman of the jll-omened trai n were scalded to death. 0XLY SIXTY SAVED. City of Mexico. June 27. A horrible catastrophe happened on the Morelos Railway Thursday night 11 o'clock. The lrovisiona wooden.bridge fell down, while a train, drawn by two engines, was jassing over it. and the cars and engines tumbled down the precipice. The fires of the en nines caused general conflagration of 100 barrels of brandy. The dead number is Pj7 soldiers and seventeen officers, hot including railroad officers, or the women and children of the soldiers. Forty were more or less wounded. Only about sixty were saved. The Secretary of PuUic Works and military physicians departed Saturday for the scene of the disaster. SLOWLY BURNED. Another account of the calamity says the list of seventeen officers and I'Jl privates killed does not include the railroad officials and employes, or women and children of soldiers. , Only sixty nersons in all were saved alive, and of those forty are more or less injured, for a moment after the plunge of cars from the bridge all wus darkness. Suddenly 100 barrels of brandy, loaded on two of the vans, caught fire and the burning fluid inundated the mass of passengers struggling in the ruins. The only persons not disabled or hoplessly wedgell in the timbers escaped. The dead aud living were wrapt in a sheet of name, and slowly burned before the eyes of the survivors, who were unable to save them. Half Holidays for Worklogmen. New York, June 2i At nearly all the Trade Union meetings 3'esterday it was stated that the demands of the members have been granted by the employers. Since June the workingmen have demanded con cessions of time in more instances than an increase of wages. The idea that workingmen should have half a holiday on Saturday is now being promptly pushed to a practical solution here. The men who are managing tne movement are sanguine of success, and even say that if New" York manufacturers will not concede this demand, mechanics who are anxious for the success of a Saturday half holiday will follow the movement to other places. Those employers who refuse to give their men a half-holiday claim the concession would often place their business in jeopardy. One large manufacturer said to a Tribune reporter, recently, that a large contract had been lost by him because his men were taking a half-holiday on Saturday. This prevented bin from completing the work as soon as a rival firm whose men were working sixty hours per week. Othe- firms engaged in business say where men stop work at 12 o'clock on Saturday the expense of running the shop is nearly the -same as if a full day was used. Half-holiday men say, in answer to this, that In shops where the concession has been granted, the employers are fully satisfied with the amount of work done, and believe it is even , greater than would be accomplished by working the entire week. According to the vital statistics of the machinists of Great Britain the average length of life has been increased nearly ten years since the general adoption of the half-holiday system.

A Denver dispatch says: "The i-iurungo Record says General IleuVmau. who. after the murder ol Major Thurman anrt Smith on May 1. went to the scene of the diffi culty with the troops as a guide, has just re turned and says the Indians were on hand after the above murder.

The troops-went to tne uiue Mountains, ten miles Jrom an Iinltan Tilhiee. The Indians hsd iled and built omit! ottles.

Colonel t'raitou, commanding tbe troop. dcovered their object was to light on tbe evening itf the 4th. The cattle men elected ofiicers and started for the village, the fon-e consisting of lorty well armed meu and twelve pact mules. Sunday, June 5, the paid men were left at O'lmnell's cabin, and the military, being out of ra tions, returned to BI Hend of Dolores. Next day twelve maians p(caiiD at tne cabin, waving a rag. claimed to be friendly, aud were permitted to come in. They stated they were bound to Uncompahgre. but were afterwards discovered poinjt Id the direction the cattle men had tarted. The party In the cabin running short of provisions, sent O'Donnell and Robinson after beef, and while killing it twelve Indians were discovered. The two men fled in the direction of the troops, and, not reappearing again, are supposed to have been killed. The remainder of the men followed the Indians into Sierra La Sal, at tne head of Mill Creek. Last Thursday morning, while the men were getting cattle, the Indians attacked them, killing Willis and Robbins, of Mancas. aud J. II. Eckrlde, the Wilson brothers and all settlers in the Grand Valley are supposed to have been killed. Eighteen or twenty of the original party of cattlemen have beeu missing for several days, and are supposed to be killed. Four companies of the Ninth Cavalry under command of Captaiu Carroll and a detachment of the .Thirteenth Cavalry have started from St. Louis tor the seat of war in -San Juan County, Utah, 125 miles west of Durango. The I'tes are renegades from three tribes. South ern Utes show no signs of hostilitv. German settlers at Bluff City had half their cattle run off by the rtavajoes.

France vs. Kngland. Paris, June 2(5. The debate on the ir. surrection in Algeria has been postponed tin ihursday. The Minister of Commerce, speaking in the Chamber yesterday, said England could not prevent tlie decision of i ranee to substitute specific for advalorera duties. It took her by surprise for the British Government to demand a return to the latter by September, and this difficulty has now stopped negotiations. But he believed an understanding would be arrived at without sacrificing any of the interests of France. It would be unadvisable, he said, to encourage resistance by granting too long a delay. The latter remark refers . to the bill which the Government has introduced into the Chamber authorizing them to prolong the existing treaiies of commerce for three months with the Powers which- seem inclined to come to an agreement for the new treaties. Convicted of Manslaughter. Special to the Sentinel: Ei.00Mnr.LD. Ind., June 27. John Wocdsmall, who was tried and sentenced to be banged for the murder of Cooper Bratton, in Daviess County but sran ted a new trial and then venned it to tnis Circuit, was found guilty of manslaughter aud sentenced to the Penitentiary for twenty-one years on Saturday. The people about this place are very indignant, and some of them say the law ou murder should be repealed when it can be so prostituted as in this case. By order ot Judge Robinson, the Sheriff started with the prisoner for Jenersonville, as there were strong threats of lynching. Killed His Partner. Washington, D. C, June 25. This afternoon James Y.

"Some are bom crtat, some achieve sreatness. und ome hhve grentLcss thrust upon them." bnatspeare. HENRY G. VENNOR, "THE CANADIAN WEATHER PROrilET, Now that we have bid " good bye " to Mother Shipton and her prophecies, lorcver inasmuch as she was clearly mistaken hi her interesting little prediction that the world would come to an end on the 19th lust, at 1 p. m., and from the fact that her speculations were not likely to have stretched much beyond that date it Is to be hoied that we shall, iu relation t,o the astronomical aud ineteoroloelcnl phenomena of the future at least, turn our atu-i'llon to ihe deductions of science and natunu philosophy, and reject as unworthy the slightest consideration that class of profound speculators who are always proposing sublime impossibilities, such as tne collision of some two or more of the heavenly bodies: and that we siiail also bike cum cranu the llippaul aud adroit peuerulirftiir.is ol thae self-cmisti-tutcd meteorologists who b.is- tneir predictions on the gymnastics of a cat, the cowing of rooks, or the la ws of chance. Mr. Vennor whs born in Montreal, In the Province of Quebec, Canada, in the j etr 1M0. We are uot, at this moment, iu possession of any data respecting his early youth, tltho'igh we areasbured by a contemporary, that it was spent in a starch Kfier knowledge which sm became most seiious and laborious. This letter scarcely admils of a doubt, if, as we are iülorme.l, he is a gentleman of "many-sided accomplishments," oeint; a (teoloist, a mineruloKist, a naturalist, and a me:e roloirist. The attainment of so much scientific tnd practical knowledge ia one who has not yet reached the prime of life, is not of every day occurrence, and tempts us to accept as a fact the assertion that "lie has roughed it in almost all parts of Canada,"in pursuit of those acquirements; and that his success in relation to them has established bis name in both Canada ami Kurland. With regard to the value of this latter assertion, however, we are not iu possession of any evidence beyond that contained iu a newspaper paragraph, although we have no desire lo quet-tionor to doubt it. Mr. Veunor has, we are also informed, wriueuavery admirable and exhaustive work, entitled, ' iur P.irds of Prey," which has been received with, favor not only in his own country, but in Europe. This work, unfortunately, we have not seeu. as all that has reached us bearing Mr. Vennor s name is his Almanac for the present year a neat little publication which is replete with "old saws," much useful information, ndalaree and prej-oiiderating amount of selected matter. One cau scarcely arise from a perusal of this Almanac, however, without havi:t lereeived ihat Mr. Vennor has fought shy of his calendar; not having committed himclf in it to the prediction ol any speoilic sort of weather fur any day or three days or week from the first to the last hour of the" year. True, lie has generalized In relation to ea-h month, and supplied th placg of more pertinent information in the Calendar wim jUttiui. sHXoa proverlw, aud iiiiso-IUiikiih extracts embodying the opinion of others; but not a sentence in the usual legitimate manner from h!s own pen. ihis is to be regretted, al though he mav. to some extent, congratulate him self on the emi.-sion; as, certainly, as his pre diction that tins present June was Jinelv "to prove warm, even hot and dry up to about the 10th or Uth duys," was utterly incorrect for this meridian and latitude atlcust.it being ass?rted broadly by that iutaihb!e authority, "the oldest iuhtbitant.'' that no such gloomy, cold and rainy weather, had characterized the l.rt twelve days of f.ny previous June tor the hist thirty live years. In making some of our Almanacs we are too prone to accept tnglish w c-uiner predictions aud iiiiar.it proverts as applying to our months and seasons here. Take, for example, that which per sists in alleging that wheu March comes iu like a lion it goes ont like a lamb. We aliKist incline to the belief that the reverse will be found tobe the cose in a large majority of instances. iecid edly, last March, which came in like a lion, went ont in no very lamb-lile mood ; and this is attested not only by our own recollection, but by an American Almanac, now open before us, which predicted that its close would be marked by ' fierce winds" a prediction verified to the letter. A dry. gusty, Knglish March that exjires in sunshine, showers and calm, is as widely dillcrent from ours as our spring is from that of the British Isles, ller.ee English stereo' vped expressions iu relation to the different monthsof the year should not be louuu prominent in any ol our Almanacs forecasts of westhcr anecting large areas are not so difficult of management as those applying to small and sharply deti ued localitiett. lucre is a very clear aijd distinct difference between the prediction trial the Mate of .New ort win be visited hr hpjivv khnupnnf rin no tho 2.rth nf Jill v. and the assertion thai on that day torrents of raiu will foil In the city of Albany, iu the one case the means of detection aie emlarrassed bvthe possibility that it may be pouring down rain iu one part öf the -State hile it is bright nd fair in another tiait, but iu the other case the value of the pu di - ion can l e t.s ertained at once. Hence tne utisatihfactorv generalizations which we encounter so often, and wtich seem to draw their inspiration from an aggregate of past or usual occurrences rather Until Irom any pro found or scienviiic source. It must not be sup posed, however, that what we now say here is intended as sppiicab e to Mr. Vennor's weather predictions; forbad lie not made some extra ordinary aud clear-cut successes In this relation, he could sca'cely have attained to ueh celebrity. Still as a test of these i uot before us, nor the means of obtaining it at hand, we must content ourselves with hoping that they are the veritable triumphs of genius ami a thoroughly mastery of some of the occult phases ot meteorology rather than the fortunate, hap-r.az.ird predictions of an astute observer and bold seculator who trusts to chance aud adroit phraseology for his suc cesses.
