Dr. Falb predicts that great atmospherie disturbances may be expected on the following dates duringhe present year: Yrom the 15th o the 17th of February, 16th and 18th of March, 20th and 29th of August, aud 24th and 20th of September, or possibly two daya previvus to the foregolug, This prophecy does not ap- m‘y exclusively to Chllij but to the whole globe, ihough the nature of the disturbance will necessarily differ according to local conditions. Thus, while tempest heavy »rains, suow-storins, with thunder an lighthing, wlll occur in some places, carthquakes may be expected fn others, Even where local pecultaritics may eo affect the weather that no noticeable influence may bo observed, tho pres- suro of the disturbance mav bd clearly distin- guished {n the atmosphere by clourds driving In opposite dlrcctions, cte.

C., Feb. 25.—The Presi- deut’s views on the eilver question, and the reasoning by which he is ltkely to come to the omelusion that it 18 his duty to veto the Bilver bill, arc lllustrated by a couversation which he lias had with a Represcntativo since the passage ‘of the Sepate bill. The President’s views were, {n substance, these: Bince 1878 several million dollars of United Btates bonds have been sold, at a time when there were no siiver dollars in circala- tion, when the Government would not accept allver, when the people had no kuowledgo that the silver dollar was to be re- colned and made s legal-tender tn any way to affect their rights; that thesc bonds wers pur- chased in the only money of the United States at that time which the Government would ac- copt for them, viz: gold; that the purchasers of these bonds are, therefore, entitled to be paid back fn the same money, or in as good money, as they gave, and {n th¢very money in which they subscribed for the bonds; that fu s bad faith tor the Uovernment to recognize cheaper muney, or to ask those who purchased bonds stnce 1873 to toke this cheaper moncey; snd, 8a President of the United Btates and representative man of the natlon, ho cannot afford to ®o on record as indorsing such proposition; that every mems ber of Congress repreacots a constitucncy, Is desfrous of re-clection, has political preferment 1n view, and fears to alsplease the people; that the Executive cannot be governed by such in- flucnces in his action; that there isno other conrse for the Prealdent to,pursue than to use Exccutive power to protect what ho considers the * patlonal honor;" and that, whether the bill i passed over his head or not, it Is, never- theless, his duty to veto ft. The President ad- mitted that he believed Congress would pass the bill over his bead; but that, he added, was not for him to consider. His duty would end when he had signed the veto. If Congress should then make the bill 8 law by a two-thinds voto over his head, the future results could not be charged to tha Exccutive. MOUE BEASONS. ‘Those who spceulate on the forthcoming veto, message, although soma insist that jho Presi- dent himself does not yet knnw whether thero will bea veto, clatm that tho polota of the message will be these: That the bill will not get sllver Intu the curreney; that for that rea- son {t should be opposcd by sincere sliver men: that it fgnores the national credit and honor, shocka confldence, will causc greater busincss derancements, lnu-mll{ ‘public suffering with- out sccuring beocflcial resultss that he will cst that the subject of stiver cotnago b to an nternational conference.
