FIRST ARRIVALS OF THE " MILLION."—Some
amusement wag created in the Strand on Saturday afternoon
by the appearance of two cabs, very heavily laden with lug-
gage, stopping at a house which had apartments to let. One
of the cabs contained two gentlemen and a young female,
all completely enveloped in heavy furs—hats, caps, coats,
boots, all were of fur. A large crowd soon assembled, specu-
lating as to what part of the world the illustrious furriers had
come from. " Cabby," who seemed very proud of his fare,
was also quite
a lion for the time; but the only informa-
tion he could give was that he " had brought 'urn from a
furren steamer."

THE WSATHER.—There has not been so open a
winter as the present since that of 1845. In that year there
was neither frost nor snow till March; and, though there
were a few days of frost about the end of November or part
of Deeemberlast, it may be said that winter is yet to begin,
while nature indicates that spring has actually set in.
Gowana and whins are in blossom by the way-sides, and the
buds in hedge-rows begin to swell. In gardens, not merely
snowdrops, but the daisy, hepatica, and primrose are in bloom,
and the wall-flower has not ceased "to shed its perfume since
its autumnal flowering.—Scotsman.
