He has not only been very properly rebuked for alarming the people of Charleston, already half frightened to death by ac tual disaster, but has incurred the re sentment of the scientific people, who look upon him as a presumptuous inter loper, and expose his pretensions with savage energy and thoroughness. Alto gether the position in which Wiggins finds himself is uncomfortable, and as th« date of his prediction approached, and there were no indications in any quarter of a disturbance, it no doubt appeared to him that bis reputation, or rather his notoriety was in danger. So lie attempt' d to hedge, first accusing the press of exaggerating and expanding his prophecy, and next declaring that he never predicted any great catastrophe, but only expressed a general opinion. But this backing down and filling won’t do. Wiggins lias always bad a particular hankering after grand, gloomy ami peril- li«r wcatl er prophecies,and there is only one thing muie remarkable than his predictions, and that is the punctuality with which they have failed ot fulfil ment. What, moreover, doeH Wiggins say to his own recent prematurely confident re minder that he had prognosticated trou ble on tlio 29lh of September, 18MJ, or th ‘reabonts, so far back as 1884? Is he prepared to crawfish out of that asser tion now? Was that very previous prophecy onlv a vague conjecture also? In truth Wiggins deals in vague conjec tures alone, and though a journal that denounces journalism charges the press with having given this person a notoriety otherwise unattainable by him, it is cei- tain that tho utter untrustworthiness of his statements has been pointed out by the press from the first. Il is probable that this will tie the last of his pub lic efforts, however, and his extinguish ment by the conspicuous failure of his predictions is the legitimate end of such charlatanism. It is true that nobody knows enough of meteorology to forecast the weather beyond a few hours with more than approximate accuracy. But this does not render it impossible to per ceive the quackery of such announce ments as Wiggins puts forward, and the that fact the man has no authority will this lime no doubt be borne in with some thing like conviction upon the minds even of the most timid and credulous. Under the head of “Instruction from Mummy-Cases,” tl,c New Yoik Tribune gives us a few items to ponder over; “Barley 5,4 X) years old has beoti found by Marietta Bey in a grave of the fifth dynasty, st Sakh.ira This barley is precisely similar to the grain of to-day. The increase of the agricultural science lias produced no apparent improvement in the grain dining that long periol, nor lias it changed from its primal type in any way. A garland was found in an- other tomb, of wild celery, ‘The leaves, flowers and fiuits of the wild celery have been examined with the greatest care !>y Dr. Schweinfinth, w ho has dem onstrated in the clearest manner tlieir absolute identity with the indigenous form of this species now abundant in moist places in Egypt.’ No doubt it is true that the pei iods requited for the cool ing and gradual sto king of the earth with • -gelation and animal life by mod em geology seem to afford ample space foi the evolution of species. But when we find that a large number of plants have undergone no change at all in five or six thousand years, it isappment that the evidence, though not in any sense conclusive, makes against the hypothe sis which is m<At generally accepted at present. I’ut it is possible to go very much further back than Egypt for evi dence. Plant remains have been found in sedimentary deposits older than the glacial drift—giving them an age of fiotn 50,000 to 100,000 years—and those plants present no differences from the same species as they exist to-day. It may be said, therefore, tin t the testimony of an cient plant remains, so far as it goes, seems to oppose tile evolutionary hy pothesis ; or at lea t to require the as sumption of even longer periods of mu tation than the most liberal estimates ot the modern geologists have allowed for the earth’s formation ” In sentencing the anarchist, at Chica go, October 9, Judge Gray said : “The people of this country love their institutions; they love their homes; they love their property; they will nev er consent that by violence and murder these institutions shall be broken down, their homes devastated and their prop erty destroy*d. And the people are strong enough to protect and sustain their institutions, and to punish all of fenders against their laws; and those who threaten danger to the civil service, if the law is enforced, are leading to de struction whoever attempts to execute such threat.” “ The existing order of society can be i-hanged only by the will of the majori ty. Each man has full right to enter tain and advocate, by speech and print, such opinions as suit them, and the great body of the people will usually care little what he says, but if l.e pro poses murder as a means of enforcing bis views he puts bis own life at stake, and no chi mor about free speech, evils to be cured, or w rongs to be redressed, will shield him from the consequences of his crime. His liberty is not licensed to destroy.” Neelie was then sentenced to 15 years hard labor and the others to be hanged on the 3d of December next. December 5, 1884, at Prescott, Arizo na Territory, Ammon M. Tenney, C. 1. Kemp and l’eter J. Christofnrson, Mor mon bishops, were tried, convicted and sentenced by Judge Sumner Howard to pay $500 fine and serve three and one- half years in the’house of correction in Detroit, N. Y. According to a recent decision of Attorney General Garland it appears that their trial was illegal, and President Cleveland has pardoned them. • There is no necessity of complaining of hard tunes, or that tr*de is dull, if vou keep the ’right kind of goods and at BOTTOM PIUCX8 and Surgeon in the West, they will sell themselves, and we keep that class oi goods, or try but‘the FACT is we SELL them almost as fast as we receive t] ' ---- Will be in---- However our store contains a stock of DRUGS.
