BosToN, Feb. 81, lS4S.
For several days past the snow has been
shrinking away very perceptlbly, and on Sun
day it rained all day, which of course made
an end of the sleighing
During the past week two or three boys have
been drowned while playing on the ice
Speaking of ice, the exporters of it have made
the most of the little which has been vouch-
safed to them by Jack Frost. have not heard
of any being cut in this vicinity more than an
inch thick. The ice-trade has become of so
much consequence, that nobody here wants
"band" weather in winter, and real good
freeze is regarded as great God-send as genial
showers in the summer. New England-es-
pecially Massachusetts-ha often been con-
temned, in the Southern States, on account OF
her rocky soil and inclement winters, yet Yam
kee enterprise converts all this rock and ice
into gold, or its equivalent.
Apropos of gold, there appears to be great
deal of false coin in circulation, and as for bad
bills, they are so numerous that people rarely
take Oank note WlCnOuC consulting oe-
tector." The last counterfeit which l have
seen was on the Bank of Caledonia, Vt. The
money market is little easier on account of
the good news from England. If it is true. as
stated, that money is plenty in Great Britain
at l-2 per cent. per annum, it is probable
that m ach of it will seek more lucrative in
vestment in this country. I hope this may
come to pass, for our market demands more
effective relief than any which it has recently
experienced In the large manufacturing es-
tablishments shere-especially among the work
ers in iron-the pay of the men has been un-
commonly irregular. In many instances, the
payments are several months behind hand.
The question is frequently asked, "What
has become of Geo. Miller the reputed for
gers" l saw this notable person getting into
the Fitchburg cars last Saturday. He is at
large, on bail, and pursues his usual avoca-
tions, entirely unconcerned, apparently, as to
the result of his trial. 1t is the general i'm
preston, believe, that said trial will prove
abortive, and the ends of justice be defeated
Miller is believed to be only party to the
crime of which he is accused.

LEAP YEAR IN 1913.

The present year gives those lovely w
rants. the ladies'. the privilege Of making
love. The gentlemen must remain in a
state Of calm quiescence for at least 500
DAYS. during which time :hev will not be
permitted TO refuse any lady who shall
make love to them. To prove this to be
the case. and that it is no new notion OF
ours. We quote an extract from an old vol
ume. published in the year 1000. and en-
titled ''Courtship, Love and Matrinonie":
"Albei,. il is MOVIE parta of the Com
''mune Lave. in regard 10 the social rela-
''tions Of life. that as often as every besex-
''rilc year doth return, the ladies have the
''sole privilege during the time il continu-
seth of making love unto the men. which

moreover. no man will be entitled 10 the

Long ago as the above was printed. it
seems 10 have been a ''parte of the COM
mune lave that the ladies should have
the sole privilege Of making love every
fourth year. and wha. was then binding as
common law is equally binding now. since

Angry Words.

Angry words are lightly spoken,
In rash and thoughtless hour;
Brightest links Of life are broken
BY their deep insidious power.
Hearts inspired by warmest feeling.
Meier before by anger stirred,
OF are rent past human healing
BY single angry word.
Poison drops Of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison-drops are they,
Weaving for the coming morrow
Saddest memories of to-day.
Angry words! OH let them never
From the tongue unbrid'cd slip:
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them, ere they soil the lip.
Love is much too pure and molly,
Friendship IS too sacred far,
For a moments reckless folly
Thus to desoiate and mar.
Angry words are lightly spoken;
Bittercsi thoughts are rashiv stirred;
Brightest links Of life are broken
By n single angry word.

Gen. l'H&S.

Bryant of the New York Evening Post
thus concludes an able review ofthis Presi-
dental aspiran''s late letter concerning
the Wilmot Provso:
We are sorry to see that Gen. Cass, in
has 8aehn'ianp 2f'ac p0JIII attaayea
the Wilmot Proyiso: then he thot the Viii
mot Proviso. that is TO say, the exclusion
OF slavery from the new terri tory, perfect
" ii ght in principle. but only premature
in time; now he holds that Congress has
no right TO prohibit slavery in the territories.
There is a story of a Nermonter who. be-
ing sued at law for damages in breaking an
iron kettle which he had borrowed. pleaded
in court. first, that he never had the kettle:
secondly, that it was broken when he bor-
rowed it; and thirdly, that it was whole
when he returned it. Gen Cass in 1916
was for the Wilmot Proviso-he never had
the kettle-in 1347 the Wilmot Proviso
was right in principle, but wrong in the
time of us application-the kettle was bro
ken when he borrowed it-and now. in 49,
43, the Nimot Proviso is unconstitutional
and unnecessarv-the kettle was whole
when he returned it. SO it is with all the
prematurists-warm friends year since
of the principle of excluding slavery
they have come at last to the convenient
conclusion. when the pretext ofprematuritv
viii serve them no longer. that the Consti-
tuition gives Congress no authority to pro-
vide for its prohibition.
Mr.. Cass' ziz-zag course on the Wilmot
Proviso is just the counterpart. Of tha:
which he pursued on the Texas question.
on which he is known to have written two
letters, expressing views dramatically OPP
posite In both cases he has not only
shown the pliancy of his conscience. but
the rshallowness of his brain; and proven
the justice of the suggestion that has Sc
veral times been made. that the first letter
of his name should hereafter be omitted
The wag was as just as witty. who, in reply
to a boast of some partizan that Mr.. Cass
had a great European reputation. replied
that he had long known that the General s
true character could only be found by CO.
ing beyond the (C) sea.-[Cin. Atlas.

There was an arrival, few days since, at Fort
Leayenworth, from Fort Chiles, the new military
post at Grand Island, In the Platte. Lleutenants
Mara and Singenfelter left that station with two
companies, the llth, and made their way
through a very dangerous country In twelve days.
The Pawnees, at this time, are quite hostile, and
are taking every American scalp they can lay hold
OF. They have, tor a long time, been disaffected,
but recently new difficulties have arisen. Some
three weeks since, Col. Powell concluded treaty
with one of the bands for the land at Grand Island
on which the fort is situated but in distributing
the usual presents, offence was given to very in
huentIal chief, and hence the new trouble.
About seventy miles this side of Fort Chllos,
there is village of Pawnees who are friendly to
the whites. When my lnformants arrived there,
the principal chief urged them not 10 remain over
night as many of his young men had grown "bad, -
and would no doubt, kill them. The old chief
shed tears when they lett, telling them he feared
they would be aylaid and killed. Near this
village they tram its way to the fort, under
charge of Capt. Steele. They were warned of the
danger, and express was sent on 10 Col. Powell,
apprising HIM of the state OF affairs.
There is rumor at Fort Leavenworth that Capt.
Gillespie, U. E. Marine Corps, recently promoted
for his gallantry in California, will be the subject
OF a hauling over the Goals for alleged malfel-
sance In the discharge of his duties some months
ago seems that large number of govern
nlent mules were LETT IN his care at Fort Leaven-
WORTH when Commodore Stockton got in from
California. These contrary to instructions, he
disposed of at private sale, at merely nominal
prices, much to the advantage of the purchasers,
the same mules, short time after, were resold to
government al high rate Report says that the
gallant captain cleared few thousands by the
transaction.

The troops which will soon arrive from New Mex

is at fever heat. Yours, ARGUS.
