A SIBERIAN WINTER.-The traveller in ST.
IBERIA, during winter is so enveloped In iurs
that he can scarcely move; aud under the thick
fur-hood, which is fastened TO the bear-skin
collar and covers the whole face, one can only
draw in. as it were by stealth, little OF the
external air, which is so keen that II causes
very peculiar and painful feeling TO the throat
and lungs. The distance from one hating
place 10 another takes about tep hours, during
which time the traveller must aways continue
on horseback, as the cumbrous dress makes 1t
insupporlable to wade through he snow. The
poor horses suffer at least as much as their
riders, for besides the genera effect of the
cold. they are tormented by ice forming in
their nostris and stopping tAeir breathing:
when they intimate this BY distressed snort
and convulsive shaking Of thehced, the dri-
vers relieve them by taking out the pieces OF
ice, to save them from being spffocated.
When the icy ground is not covered ~ snow,
their hoofs often burst from the effeds of the
cold. The caravan is always surrounded by
thick cloud of vapor; i. is no. only living
bodies which produce this effect, buteven the
snow smokes. These evaporations are instant
| ly changed into millions Of needlei of ice,
which fill the air, and cause a Constant slight
noise, resembling the sounds OF torn satin or
silk. Even the reindeer seeks theforest 10

in the tundras. where there is no shdter to be
found. the whole crowd together asclose as
possible TO gain little warmth fromeach 9TH
er, and may be seen standing in this way quite
motionless. Only the dark bird Of winter,
the raven, still cleaves the icy air with slow
and heavy wing, leaving behind him long
line of Thin vapor, marking the track If its SOL
itary flight. The influence ofthe cold extends
even TO inanimate nature; the thickes, trunks
of trees are rent assunder with loud sound
which in these deserts, falls on the ear llr
signal shot at sea; large masses of rpck are
torn from their ancient sites; the ground in the
tundras and in the rocky valies, cracks and
forms wide yawnlng fissures, from which the
walters which were beneath the surface rise
giving off cloud of vapor, and become i'm
mediately changed into ice. The effect of this
degree of cold extends even beyond the earth
the beauty of the deep blue polar sky, So of
ten and justly praised, disappears in the densi
ty Of that cod produces; the stars still gisien
in the armament, but their brilliancy is dim.

the persons who came down with these boats
were several who lef, this city with Sir Will
liam Drummond Stewart. They describe the
fatigues attending the expedition and the over
bearing rudeness of Sir william as iDsupport-
able. Thirteen of the company bad left him
at the South Forks of the Platte; and many
others were preparing 10 leave. some of The
company had threatened to shoot him if he
persisted 10 his ,yranical course. The Indians
were manifesiing disposition to steal the
horses, and as all but three or four of Sir Will
liam's men were green hands, some fears were
entertained that their efforts might be success
full. A war party of 300 Ouoes, returning
from an expedition against the Pawnees, who
had refused to fight them, were with Stewart
when our informan,s left. All were 10 good
health, though worn down with fatigue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26, 1913.
JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ.,
Of the wine which Mr.. Fuller caused to flow SO
freely yesterday, Ole Bull partook but little He
said he was the creature of excitement and enthu-
slasm, and he could not bear it. He complained
of a pain in his chest, and also of some diff
6culty in the movement of his left hand and we
began TO entertain serious fears that he would not
be able to perform, to his satisfaction least
last evening. But he left the dinner early, took a
walk inhaled the fresh air, looked with admiration
upon some of the Washington bellies, caught a lit
tie of the spirit of our liberal and free institutions as
he gazed upon the capfsiy> and wss ready to per-
form his part in the evening, to thewonder aston
ishment, and amazement of every One who heard
him. Through the extraordinary efforts of Mr..
Emery, and the patience and perseverance of Sig.
La Menna, the leader of the orchestra, a very good
indeed superior accompaniment was ready to
perform on the occasion. Mrs. Bailey sung in her
usual neat and tasty style. But the audience were
altogether carried away by Ole Bull No language
talr ladies' OF Washington, as was the case with the
ladies OF Baltimore, would have been delighted to
have waited upon the handsome vionst, and in
propriis personis testified to him their admiration
and enchantment. Ole Bull will surely bewitch all
the southern ladies'. need not say that the whole
house was crowded with the very elite of Washing
ton, including such Members of Congress as We're
in town. Ole Bull left this morning for Baltimore,
where he performs this evening. He returns and
gives another concert here tomorrow (Wednes-
day. evening; after which he leaves for Richmond
and other places in Virginia.
Two or three important resolutions have been
introduced into the Senate to-day, will be seen
by the report. refer particularly to the resolution
Of Mr.. Allen to open the doors of the Senate while
transacting Executive business-to the notice of
bill by Mr.. Atchinson to establish government
over Oregon, &c.
The complaint is very general in relation to the
difficulty Of hearing in the gallery what is said in
the Senate below. And it is most respectfully sug-
gested to the honorable Senators, that if their
sttuents, the public, have no right to know what
they say and do upon the floor of the Senate, yet
matter of courtesy, they might, when important
speak loud enough to be heard in the gallery.

MIR. BENNETT -
Are you that the sentence last week decided
upon for Beach, in your case fine of $3.50 and
days in the city prison and that the Recorder has
stated to Beachs counsel that his imprisonment will be
reduced to one day
Are you aware that Major Noah is now editor of Beachs
Sun-that is, has become Beach's doer of melancholy
work. and that his is the hand which has appeared
the handle of that bellows the present week?
These are truths spoken " by authority"
ONE BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
We are aware of no such thing, and do not care
button whether it be so or not. The Court o.
Sessions may sentence Mike Walsh, with three
cents in his pocket, to the penitentiary for two
months, and Moses Y. Beach, with $4,000 in his
pocket, to fine of six cents and no Imprisonment
at all if it please. 1t is question for the moral sense
of the community to pass upon. We have done
with 1t. AS to poor old worn out Noah, he may
write where he pleases, we have done with him long
since, and shall never put straw in his way either
here or hereafter.
