member rightly. This was sufficient to
supply the immense emigration OF the las:

In the year 1886 the sales will probably
amount to twenty millions. The cmIgra-

quite, two hundred millions of acres in mar

1t seems from the annexed paragraphs
that the unusual cold of the past winter has
not been confined to the American continent
"Constantiaopie,. 9Th Jan. 1886.
The severity of the winter absorbs all in
terest IN commercial or political affairs. The
poor Turks, whose feast Gt is a fasl,) of
Ramazan, prevents their comforting them
selves with dram. n moulhtul, or even
chlbouk, from the rising to the sitting of the
sun; are more busy in contriying to keep
their shivering limbs warm over fire. or
beneath huge yorgans or quilts a.bed, than
designing to impede the encroachmenis of
their neighbors, the bears, who must have
sent the cold from their arctic regions to
make this country appear more than ever
their own. Never since the winter of 1912
that which was fatal to the army and the
glory Of Napoleon-has the cold been so in
sense, or the violence Of the snow.s,orms so
terrific. The snow has fallen at intervals
and has lain on the ground during the last
twenty days to the depth of from three to
six feet; whilst the frost is so severe that the
thermometer stands at ten to fifteen degrees
below the freezing point even in the houses
Previous to the first falls of snow the wealth
er was very boisterous and loggy, the long
continuance Of which loreboded an unusually
severe winter, and caused the greatest disas-

rus, where vessels were driven on shore ac
ter vainly endeavorng to find the entrance.
Since then more accidents are heard Of sim

vessels that have arrived in port, have in
many instances, had half their crews frozen
to death. One vessel with passengers on
board, threw fifteen of them overheard from
