Respectfully, j^% n|?b MUSIC house] A Year of Storms. Beginning with the first week in May of this year, and ending with the last week io June, 1892, will constitute the greatest storm period since 1832-33, and it will be at its greatest force daring the coming winter. The winter will set in early and with its unusual cold and great snow storms and blizzards will be what iatermed a very hard winter. These winter storms will begin in the uorthern tier of States with great severity in Octo? ber, and an early winter, very severe all over the continent, will follow. The force of the storms will increase very gradually, and the May storms will not be so marked as those later on. We will probably have an occasional tornado, but destructive storm 3 will not attract general attention till after June 8, when the great battle of the elements will begin in earnest, and every month will begin its noted storms. June is not always a month of great storms, but it will be this year, and should my predictions be verified as to that month the public will give more Attention to whatl have said as to the eleven months that follow it. October' and November are the months that usually bring the tropical hurricanes that are sometimes very disastrous on the Gulf of Mexico and occasionally do damage as far north as Tennessee and Arkansas. The great hurricanes that visited the lower Mississippi and the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in 1832-3 will be repeated next October and November. Wherever you find an old man who followed flat-ooating on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in 1832-3 you will find an oracle who can reveal much history about the hurricanes of the lower Mississippi Eiver at that time. Portions of Florida were greatly damaged by the hurricanes Bixty years ago. I do not desire to create any unneces? sary Sensation about this very great storm period, but no harm can come by being prepared for the very severe winter and the great storms, Hundreds of thousands of people who read my weather forecasts every week will have great iaith in the predictions made in this letter, for tbey know that I am very careful and seldom mislead them. The forecasts are not based on any superstition or secret, but on what I know to be, and on what any person may know to be, real physical causes. The causes of this period of great dis? turbance will be the equinox of Saturn in October and the equinox of Jupiter next January. Jupiter's equinox occurred in August and Saturn's in October, 1832, and hence the great 3torms of that and the year following. The equinoxes of these planets cause great electric distur? bances in our solar system, just as do the equinoxes of our earth in March and September, but on a larger scale. Elec? tricity is the force that causes all storms, and the buu and all the planets throw an electric force far into space over their equators, as does the electro dynamo, and cousequently when any planet passes itB equinoctial the electric tension of the sun and of that planet are disturbed, and simultaneously the electric force of every planet in the solar system is unbalanced, which affects the electric currents of the earth.?Dallas News. - Poisoned Her Father. Athens, Ga., May 23.?Jim Jarrett, who lives in Jackson county, about four? teen miles from Athens, and near Jener* son, is a prosperous and contented farmer who has a lovely daughter, Fannie, much admired by all the young men of the neighborhood. Among her admirers is a young farmer, Bob McRae, who had been particularly attentive to her, and who is very obnox? ious to her father. The daughter, how? ever, was fond of Bob, and was determin? ed to see him whenever the opportunity offered, no matter how much opposed her father might be to their meeting. Last Tuesday Mr. Jarrett told his daughter that she must stop seeing the fascinating Bob, and if she disobeyed him he would whip her. This threat did not, however, deter the daughter from carry? ing out her plans, and she met McEae and took a long walk with him. This an gered her father beyond endurance, and when Bhe returned to her home he gave herras he had promised, a severe whip? ping. After the whipping had been adminis? tered, the daughter ffent off for a few hours, but returned, seemingly as happy as she had been. The next day Mr. Jar? rett had Boup for dinner, which was made by his daughter. He was taken violently sick soon after eating, and when the phy? sicians arrived, they saw at once that he had been poisoned. The poison was dis? covered to be in the soap, and was rough on rats. The daughter, when she saw her father apparently dying, broke down and con-' fessed her crime amid tears and protesta? tions of future obedience. She had pro? cured the poison and put it in the soup intending to kill her father because he whipped her. Fortunately for the life of Mr. Jarrett, too much poison was admin? istered and he was not instantly killed, and now in fact, he may recover. Every effort is being made to save his life and these efforts may succeed. The story is sickening in the extreme, and although the daughter is pretty and attractive, she will, in all probability, be made an example of.?Special to Augusta Chro7iicle. Just One More Question. Senator Zeb Vance, of North Carolina, while at the Palace hotel, San Francisco, with a party of friends, noticed a young man with a slight limp walk across the corridor and pause to glance at the regis? ter. The Senator eyed him for a moment and, turning to a Call reporter, said: "You didn't know that I limped for years, did you ? Well, I was hit in the leg by a Federal bullet that caused me no little inconvenience. I got around pretty well, but while standing.in Jackson, Miss., I noticed a long haired countryman eyeing me pretty closely and he finally approached me: " 'Look here, my friend,' he said, 'I don't want to appear curious, but I would like to know if you're really lame.' "I replied I was. " Well, you'll excuse me, won't you ? I just kinder thought I'd ask, rcckonin' you wouldn't get riled about it. Wound? ed, I suppose, in the war?' " 'Yes, I was wounded,' I said abruptly. " 'You see, I don't know, and I'd like to ask you another question/ still eyeing me critically. "'Go ahead. What is it? " 'I'd just like to know if you was shot runnin' or caught in a trap." "Everybody roared who heard it, and it cost mo about $10 for the drinks." ? The.

FOJt SALE BY All, J>JIVQQIS1S, Is Djing of laughter. Philadelphia, Pa., May 23,?Joe Duhrlinger, of Wrightstown, Bucks County, is literally laughing himself to death over the Newhope extension of the Beading railroad, which runs by his farm. He weighed 175 pounds three months ago. The first train passed his farm on the 1st of March. Duhrlinger has laughed so much since then that he now weighs only 110 pounds. The doctorB are puzzled, and Duhrlinger's friends are awaiting the result with mingled feelings of alarm and curiosity. Duhrlinger is about fifty-eight years old. He is a native of Germany. When the Newport exten? sion went into operation, with a station at Walton, about a half a mile from his farm, his property increa?ed.in value once, and he began to grin. All, his talk ' was of the improved value which the ex-., tension would ?give his'land, and how his posterity would benefit thereby. Then he began to neglect his own work and took to watching the railroad men at theirs. He was so tickled that he took several of the railroad men to board for almost nothing. Duhrlinger's mirth grew as the time went on, and he did nothing but sit on his porch and wait for the trains to go by. His keen ears detected the whistle in the distance, and this was so gratifying to him that he would burst out into un? controllable laughter. After a train had passed he would inspect the track, laugh? ing quietly to himself and return to his house chuckling, to await the coming of the next. He knows the time table by heart, and can tell to a minute when a train Bhould be due "off" his farm. He allowed everything to go to pieces on the farm. His wife hopes that the novelty of the thing will wear off and that he will re? gain his normal state. He does not laugh now quite so much as he did, but his in? terest in and care of the road is undimin ished. Monday he walked eighteen miles to testify for the railroad company in a case of trespass on the track. A Crippled Boy. Sandeesville, Ga., May 14.?A crippled boy in this county has devoted considerable attention to raising bees, and this month will realize $200 in cash from the product of his apiary. He is not physically able to perform manual labor, but by perseverance and industry has suc? ceeded in raising enough bees to bring him in a profitable income. He gives his bees careful attention, protects them from the encroachmenta of destructive enemies, and the industrious little insects pay him with a bountiful supply of honey. Crip? pled as he is, he doubtless makes more money than many who labor hard throughout the year.

It will be placed in the Davis mansion at Eichmond as soon as that house is made ready for the reception of Confederate relics, for which purpose it has been given by the city. ? Dr. Paul Gibier of the Paatuer In? stitute is treating a woman from Corun na, Michigan, who has a badly lacerated finger. Her husband, a well-to do far? mer, owned a large dog, which about three months ago was bitten by a strolling mongrel which was undoubtedly rabid, and in turn inserted his teeth in the flesh of a goose, a pig, and several cows. The pig and cows died of hydrophobia, as ascer? tained by a veterinary Burgeon after an analysis of their brains, The goose soon evinced signs of sickness, and refused to eat. The woman did not know the goose had been bitten, and thinking that some? thing had stuck in the goose's throat, inserted her finger to remove the obsta? cle, when the goose closed its teeth upon her finger. She arrived yesterday and went to the Institute, where she received three inoculations. This will be repeated for several days.?New York Sun, 01?*B ENJOY?

Kf, ??gS; MW MK, tl.t S3 A Temperance Tale* A mouse fell into a beer vat, poor thing, and a cat passing by saw the struggling little creature. The mouse said to the cat: "Help me out of my difficulty." "If I do I shall eat you," Baid the cat. "Very well," replied the mouse. "I would rather be eaten by a decent cat than drown in such a horrible mess of stuff as this." "It was a sensible cat, and said, "I shall certainly eat you, and you must promise me oh your word of honor that I may do so." . "Very well, I will give you the prom? ise" So the cat fished the mouse out, and, trusting to the promise, she dropped it for an instant. The mouse darted away, and crept away into a hole in the corner where the cat could not get him. "But didn't you promise me I might eat you ?" said puss. "Yes, I did," replied the mouse, "but did't you know that when I made that promise I was in liquor ?" Soaped the Horn. In the old days of camp-meetings, a horn was blown to wake the congregation in the morning. The instrument hung near the stand, and was generally sound? ed by some of the reverend brethren. Of course, camp-meeting is a great place for practical jokes, and one to this effect was played on a brother at Bear Springs before the war: A rascally fellow filled the horn with soap, Brothers A. and B. went down to the arbor soon in the morning to Bound the horn. Brother A. took it, and stand? ing in front of Brother B., proceeded to blow a blast. Of course, Brother B's, slick face was sicklied all over with the pale coat of soft soap. As soon as he could prevent strangulation he spoke out something to this effect: ?'I have been a Methodist preacher for fifty years. In all that time I have never sworn an oath, but I'll just be conessenti ally Bmothered if I can't whip that fellow that soaped the horn."
