The MeRnet antl Cold.

History informes us that many Of the
countries Of Europe, which now possess
very mild winters, at one time experienced
severe cold during this season Of the year.
The Tiber ot Rome was frozen over, and
snow at one time lay for forty days in
that oity. The Euzine Sea was frozen
over every winter during the time of Ovid
and the rivers Rhine and Rhone used to
be frozen so deep that the ice sustained
loaded wagons The waters Of the Tiber
Rhine, and Rhone now fow freely every
winter; ice is unknown in Rome, and the
waves Of the Euxine dash their wintry
foam uncrystalized upon the rocks. Some
have oscribed these climatic changes to
agriculture the cutting down Of dense
forests, the upturned soil to the summers
sun, and the draining of great marshes.
We do not believe that such great changes
could have been produced on the climate
of any country by agriculture, and We are
certain that no such theory can account
for the contrary change Of climate--from
warm to cold waters--which history tells
US has taken place in other countries than
those named. Greenland received its
name from the emerald herbage which
once clothed its valleys and mountains.
and its east coast, which is now inaccessi-
BILE on account Of perpetual ice heaped
upon its shores, was, in the eleventh CEN
tury, the seat Of Hourishing Scandinavian
colonie7. all trace of which is now lost.
Cold Labrador was named Vinland by the
Mortimer who visited it in A. D. 1000
and were charmed with its then mild eli.
mate. The cause of these changes is an
important inquiry. A pamphlet by John
Murray. Civil Engineer, has recently
been published in London, in which he en-
deavors to account for these changes Of
climate by tho changeable position of the
magnetic poles. The magnetic variation
or dcciuation of the needle is we'll known.
AS the present time it amounts in London
to about % deg west of north while in
1859 the line of no variation passed
through England, and then moved gradu'
ally west until 1926. In that year
great removal Of ice took place on the
coast of Greenland, hence it is inferred
that the cold meridian which now passes
through Canada and Siberia, may at one
time have passed through Italy; and that
if the magnetic meridian returns, as it is
now doing, to its old lines to Europe,
Rome may once more see her Tiber frozen
over, and the merry Rhinelander drive
his team on the ice Of his classic Tiv.
er. Whether the changes ofclimate men.
toned have been caused by the change Of
the magnetic meridian or not we have
too few facts before US at present, to de-
eide conclusively.-Scientyc american.

Rar To an inquiry from Virginia Post
master relative to his right to stop incendiary
matters at the present crisis, the Postmaster
General replied that the people Of Virginia
may not only forbid the introduction and dis
seminaton of such documents within their bor,
ders but if they are brought there in the mails
they may by Inappropriate legal proceedings have
them destroyed they have the same right to
extinguish irebrands thus impiously hurled in
the midst of their homes and altars, that a
man has to pluck the buruing fuse from a
bombshell which is about to explode at his
feet.

FoR GovERNoR-Th DeLauare County Am
ericdn, brings forward the name of HENRY S.
Evans, of Chester County, as a candidate for
Governor We can cheerfully endorse all
that is said in the Amerjcan'S announcement,
as to Mr.. Els fitness and reliability. The fol,
lowing are the Ame,acan's remarks We have
already announced several gentlemen as Op-
position candidates for Governor. We have,
from prudential considerations, refrained from
expressing our preference but as the conven-
ton is near at hand, the time has come to
make known our choice We only anticipate
the wishes of Delaware county in naming HEN
RY S. Evans, of Chester county He is well
known as the editor of that sterling old pa
per the Village Record, and justly stands high
in the estimation of the people throughout
the State. he represented Chester county
several years in the House of Representatives:
and served, with distinguished ability, three
years, from this district, in the Senate. His
public record cannot be assailed. He is sound
on all the questions of the day, and if nomi-
mated. wonld rally the whole strength of the

conversational tone, not understood by those a
little, distance of. The. simultaneous coRelua
sion of the House was, that collision was
about to take place, and the respective sides
closed in. Hinmau, Pryor aud many other
Democrats rushed to- Crawford, when McPheT-
son, Of Pennsylvania, placed his hand on what
appeared to be pistol, and approa he'd, with
other Republicans, to Stephens. Fearful ap
preheusions were seen in every counteuance,
and but single blow would have been follow
ed by terrible slaughter and blood-shed- A

tempt was made, between the hours of two
aud four on Tuesday morning, to break into
the jewelry store of Burrill & Son, in Ith-
