(JOBSK-HONK LORI.
A Weather PrunUet That Knocks Old Probs Rllly—
How Its Signs are Road by the Initiated.
The goose-bone as a prophet of the winter
weather has been before the people too lone to
require any introduction here. Tho bone and the
secret of reading it has frequently been told, and
tin se who watch for Its yearly predictions fully
understand these points. The bone this year is
very plentifully marked. r. »d though some find a
mystery in it* .Lop discolorations,
all unite on the prophecy of exceed
ingly cold weather during January.
There is more grease in tho boue than usual, and
the re l stains are of a brighter hue. two strong
sigURofcold weather. Throughout the three
months of the winter there will be a great vnriolv
of weather; the Indications of change are very
general all nloug the bone, hut wet and cold will
predominate nnd good fires will be welcome nil
through. As tho goose bone has generally told
the truth in the past, a pood housekeeper will n-e
that his coal house is well filled. For tho poor
the picture that the bouc presents is not encour
aging, and there is fear of much suffering. Coal
te already high, and dealets predict that prices
will further advance and be firmly maintained
Tho charitv organizations aud charity people will
find plentv to do this winter.
The reading of the bone is that the Christmas
holidays will be cold with sleet and mopt prob
ably snow. The general character of the weathei
for the month will be falling and not much will
be seen of the sun. The average temperature
will be lowee than usual.
January will come in with a bliiRter—rain,snow
and cold—juj*fc nuch weather as makes people feel
best at home. Along about tho 9th of the month,
however, the lines on the bone become indistinct
Indicating more pleasant weather. This, how
ever, is onlv a prelude of what is to follow. About
the middle of the month red spots on the be
grow more brilliant,and the dark, greasy tracin
spread out over the whole bone, thus indicating
very severe weather. Many well versed in goose-
ology say that they never before saw tho bone sc
terriblv marked. A careful reading predicts a
Btorm about the 16th of the month, followed hv
some of tho coldest weather ever felt in this
latitude; and when it is remembered tlist
the mercury in Louisville has beeu 20° btv
low zero some idea may be formed as to what to
expect. The storm here spoken of may be a few
days earlier or later, as it is hard to single out
days on the boue, but along about the middle of
January great storms and exceedingly cold
weather may be looked for. Upon the whole,
the month will show much snow, and the aver
age temperature will be lower than probably we
have ever known.
The first days of February will be cold, and if
the little ground-hog comes out on the 2d he will
be In danger of freezing. After that the weather
will moderate very decidedly, and the remainder
of the month will be changeable, but with no re
markable weather. A kind of nondescript month
that wiU have nothing particular to distinguish
tt from o* her Februaries.
Here the prophecy of the bone ends, but with
tho heavy drifts of snow that such a winter will
leave in the mountains, and the ground frozen
too hard to drink In the water, it is probable that
the riven will wash out the record of flood tides.
OUT OF OAltKNKSH INTO LIUIIT.
A Faithful snd Noble Hand Show Their Apprcrla-
tlon—Mr. John King Presented with a Wold 1
Headed Cane.
Yesterday morning a bare announcement of
the fact was made that the compositors of tlieEN-
quikkh-Hun had presented Mr. John King, busi
ness manager of the office, with a gold-headed
cane. It w"8 in the wee sma’ hours of the night
wlien tho presentation took place, tho busy
fingers had ceased to stick type for the night and
the lornis were ready for the press. But a more
pleasant affair never took place in Columbus,and
deserves more than passing notice. Mr. W. C.
Turner, foreman of the office, had been selected
to present the cane, and at the head of as noble
and faithful band of compositors os ever com
prised the force of a daily newspaper, entered the
business office and said:
“Mr. King: Tho very pleasant duty has been
imposed on me, by the printers of tho Enquirhr-
8un office,of presenting to you,as a token of their
friendship and esteem, and as an ovidenco of
their high appreciation of tho muny kindnesses
shown them by you in the past, this cano. We
have in all our dealings with you found you to bo
considerate of our feelings, watchfhlof our inter
ests, just in every transaction, and faitbfhl to the
keeping of every promise. We, os the compos
ing room force, desire to give you this memoir to
keep in the years to come, that it may remind
you of the men who learned to be your friends
while having the closest busineBs dealings with
you. May it bo many yearn before you need this
cane to lean on; but when at last you must de_
pend upou it for support, may you find also the
comfort that comes from leaning on a
stronger rod and stuff than this—the rod and
staff upon which all just men like
must lean in thi3 valley of darkness, until
their spirits aro made perfect in a better vorld
above.”
Mr. King was taken completely bv surprise. If
tho printers had come at him with a pistol in
stead of a gold-headed cano he would not have
been more entirely taken umiwares.
After taking the stick he took off bis hat and
began his shod and informal speech of thanks.
The printers mid the stuff gathered about him
with their liats in their hands. Mr. King said:
“Mr. Turner, and gentlemen of the composing
re<»m force: In returning you my hearty and
heartfelt thanks allow me to eay that I was not
looking in the least for this beautiful testimonial
of your friendship and regard forme. It comes
tome to-night like a hurst of light thro ugh a
cloud of overhanging darkness. In order to let
you understuud liow opportunely this present
and this occasion comes to me, I must tell
you what otherwise I would never have mention
ed. An hour ago I sat in the office alone. And
I was thinking, thinking, as a man at my time cf
life is given to doing. I don’t know why, but I
felt more oppressed and low-spirited than I had
felt for many a day. 1 could hear the sound of
the Chrivtnias revelry outside, but it only made
me the sadder. These moods come to us nil at
times. And this one to-night was like a burden
on my shoulders. How little 1 suspected then
that my feeling of (pp’easion was but “the dark
est houi that comes before the dawn. This in
cident has dispelled the gloom aud lighted up
the darkness. I thank yi u again; nnd I promise
that T will always keep with orido this evldenco
of the good feeling and friendship that exists be
tween me and every one of you.”

Columbus uud Girard have interests which are
common ai.d Identical. None more so tha.i those
growing out of religion and morals. Girard 1ms
for several years been contemplating the erection
of a new Baptist church, a »d this year rhe work
has actually begun. Facta and figures are potent
aud the following will show the progress in
money raining: From all sources, $1102.?.5. Of
this £128 was raised by the church two years ago.
Hi nee then from the sale of church and lot, $850;
by .-inscription, $311; from Columbus,$S8; Browne-
ville, $13ri3; Girard, $173; Baptist Ladies’ Aid
society, $50. This has all been exhausted and
the work has stopped for want of funds. The
frame work of the structure Is about completed,
but much inside work and the painting remain:}
to be done. As. the Girard Buntists are weak
financially, it is earnestly honed that liberal-
hearted friends in Columbus and the surround-
sag section u ill come to tho rescue, that the work
may advance to completion.

THK LIUIIT FANTASTIC.
Ladles Who Desire the Toe Torched at Seasonable
lloars—New Modes of Danclogaod Masters of tho
Art.
One of the most prominent among the “heads
of families,” who sometimes attend the germane,
gives the Enquirer-Bun in formation that there
is a new move on foot with regard to germans.
lie states that there are quite a number of mar
ried ladies in the city who like to seo the young
people enjoy themselves aud will act as chaper
ones at the germans provided they are given at
reasonable hours. The idea of going at 10 o’clock
and remaining until 1 o’clock iri the morning ia
considered by them entirely out of good taste and
void of common sense. If they go at 8 o’clock
and disperse at 11 o’clock the ladies eay they vill
serve them with the greatest pleasure, otherwise
they will not, and the Enquibjir-Sun has been
requested to say as much.
And talking about dancing, it seems that the
only persons who can work at cross purposes suc
cessfully are dancing masters. They have their
own peculiar ideas, which are forever changing,
and the result is that their pupils are nearly al
ways in h helpless state of confusion. Each
dancing master, or professor, us ho likes to be
called, in a great inventor in his own way. A
few yearn ago, when the Saratoga was first intro
duced, an up town professor noticed that, none
of his pupils could dance it nearly so well ana
young lady who turned her toes in. He imme
diately concluded that this was the only way to
execute this dunce. His pupils were shocked at
tho next lesson to see the elderly and digni
fied professor walk across the waxed
floor with his toes striking against
each otl^er and his Jeg3 curved like a rainbow.
This style was not popular, and tho efforts of the
professor to introduce it nearly miked him fiuu.n-
daily. It spoiled the contour of his logs, for he
hue been a trifle pigeon-toed ever since. In a
ball room a few nights ago four couples were
doing the best they could to dance the lancers.
They had never seen each other before, and so
they smiled sweetly when they collided,anrl said:
“Excuse me,” or “J beg your paid on." Secretly
they dubbed each other ignoramuses who did
not know anything more about dancing than a
cow. Later in tbe evening they met again, and,
of course, the talk turned upon dancing. To the
amazement cf nil they lear ned they had been
taught to dance by the same teacher. Their
classes only lasted a year, but the steps having
changed in style as often as the style of a
plug hut changes they found it impossible to
dance together with any degree of comfort.
At a meeting of the professors of 1884 several
new dances were originated. Among these
wore too excelsior waits and the wait;:*quadrille
(special.) It was also determined that the
proper way to dance the fanciers was with eight
couple instead of with four, and that the ger
man could He vastly improved by . the addition
of overal complicated figures. The professors
agreed to frown upon the society waltz, because
a number of ndgar persons had exaggerated it so
that it was situ ply a burlesque. It was accord
ingly frowned upon him, but in a few weeks it
was revived under the various names of the
rodowa, gilsade, tho Unickerbocker, the kick, the
sco-'p, tho telf.pbon*' and a dozen other plebeian
titles. After a deal of study and p.itient
tho lght tho excelsior was introduced. This
was intended to be danced with a moderate
slide and the rodowa step revolution,
with the side step similar to that of the galop.
It was thought Dial this would Gil the bill to per
fection, bat it had hardly been introduced before
a lot of professors who didn’t belong to the so
ciety, began teaching it, too, aud so made it com
mon ami vulgar. Tho only dance that has held
its own despite all the innovations is the waltz-
quadrille.
“Tho landers are changed, too,” said au old
professor. “They were formerly danced in tho
old Snmtoga stylo, but now it takes oigbt couples
to go through with them properly. The heads
oha?aes ft* m right to left diagonally, not forward
and b ’-ok as in the old style. This keeps all the
couples ill motion at tho same time.”
The Columbia is a roun l dance, something like
the American gayot, only livelier and considera
bly more intricate. A very popular dance is the
octagon, uud one reason tV»r it a popularity is tbe
fact that there is no waltzing in it. There aro
thousands of pleasure-loving people who are bit
terly opposed to waltzing becauso they doom it
improper for a young man to place k?s arm
about a young woman unless she ia his
wife. Even then they think that any such ac
tion as this should bo couGood to private life.
Clo. o dancing of all kinds will be frowned upon
this season, uud tbe English method of holding
your girl away from y ou as though she had been
eating onions will be adopted.
Arm Amputated.
Stafford Henderson, a well-known colored ex
pressmen, was shot in tin*arm by a woman named
Elia Laugdon At a dance on Friday night. The
pistol seems to have been jammed right against
his arm, as the bone was shattered into frag
ments. On yesterday Dr. tteth N. Jordan arupit
tated his arm at (he shoulder. The indications
are that he will gee well. He was getting along
all right laat night.
