“ On Saturday night, while closing their accounts for the week, 
Old Probabilities and Pluvius got into a dispute after the manner 
of those who dwell below the skies. Jupiter, it appears, had for 
some time been jealous of an assumption of authority on the part 
of his colleague, who has proven himself but an odd, eccentric 
character, at best. The latter, under commission of our govern¬

“ The sun rose on Monday morning behind dark clouds that 
shut out from his view everything terrestial. Though old Sol
