Albany, now in Washington, received by The
last overland mail from San Francisco, letters
from his commercial correspondent appriring
him that conspiracy was forming for the

and disorganiled, There are not thousand
muskets in the State under the control OF the

Justice has been done our town in the present

by these changes the territory ofUtah is no.
duced to nearly one-half, and the saints are
hemmed in upon the east and west by what
must soon become populous. free, and anti.pol-
ygamous states, and the rapid population OF
this whole central belt Of country may soon
give the gentiles' the prcdominance even In
Utah, and so compel the patriarchs to abandon
their Oriental system Of society or emigrate to
some dirter region to enjoy It. The prospect
is that the territories on this belt. Colorado,
Utah, and Nevada, will be the first OF the ter
ritories remaining to become States. and so
make the line Of States compact from the At

and slcet that fell was very large The roads wero
drifted badly In every direction, and some Of tho

pension OF travel in many sections. The storm
extended over radius many hundred miles, from

skating privileges on the New York Central
Park ponds for the past two years. During
the winter Of 1889 and 1850 the total number
was 49,, GOO, the greatest number on any day
was the 26th Of December, when there were
100 900. During the skating season just past
the aggregate number reached l,os3,7oo; the
greatest number present in any one day was
lo5, OO0-on the 9th Of February. Notwith-
standing the skating season Of 60 and '6i was
shorter by eleven days than that OF 1889. The
number Of visitors has been more than doubled
in the aggregate. The former season was OF
thirty.seven days duration, while the one just
closed was but twenty-six. The proportion OF
lady visitors has also been much greater.

I" All the private intelligence received from
Pesth tends to prove that the breach between
the Hungarian nation and the Imperial dynas.
" has been greatly widened by the rescrips OF
the 20th Of February, and people here main
tain that nothing but brute force will bring
the Hungarians to their senses The question
now ut issue between Austria and Hungary Is
such delicate one. and the maintenance OF
the integrity Of the Austrian Empire Is 30 very
desirable that my private opinions are In gen,
eral expressed with some little reserve, but l
now feel bound to remark that the new consti-
tuition affords no guaranty TO the Hungarians
that the money which they may contribute to
the necessities Of the State will not be expended
in maintaining an army which Is sadly out OF
proportion to the resources Of the empire. The
protest made by the municipality Of Pesth
against the introduction Ut martial law into
the district of Piume has led to misunder-
standing between the Hungarians and Croats,
The latter maintain that fiume belongs to the
Kingdom Of Croatia, and accuse the Hungar-
ians Of displaying as grasping and overbearing
q spirit rs they displayed IN 1913 and lstv; The
Austrians are we'll pleased to see that the Hun

quarrel among themselves, but they cannot
venture To hope that the two aforementioned
nationalitles will again fight with their neigh
bors In defence Of absolutism.'

The last meeting OF the Temperance Associa-
ton was held in the Baptist vestry. Appro-
pirate remarks were made by anumber OF gen.
tlemen, and the meeting was, upon the whole,
as interesting one as has been held. Some
seventy Ave names were added to the pledge.
II may not perhaps be generally known that
Temperance meetings have been held In our
place since December last, and that they are
conducted upon the old-fashioned Washington
ian system. The meetings were started, and
are now sustained by some Of the members OF
the different churches of our city. but an
invitation Is extended to all to take part inthis
work OF reform. Notwithstanding the plat
form of the society is broad enough to take IN
every moral citizen Of our place, yet upon no
occasion has the number been SO great that the
small ycstries Of the various denominations
could not accommodate them. but, on the con-
trary, on no occasion have they been full. A
Convention Of the rumsellers Of our place
would, in regard to numbers, put to shame ma
ny Of the Temperance gatherings that have
been held. Shall this state OF things continue.
or shall everyone feel his responsibility, and be
willing to aid them Let them DO as they will
one thing Is certain, and that is, that the meet
ings will be carried on. God helping US, we
mean to continue as long as there Is rum
shop in Biddeford. Yes, as long as life lasts,
and when the messenger Of death calls US, We
are bound to have the Temperance armor on

sary article to carry on the work, and that Is,

age the drinking and selling Of intoxicating

man of the need Of his labors. Look at the

who feels for the poor inebriate, to be present

lowing description Of this structure is from tho
London American:
This structure Is to exceed It's illustrious pre-.
decessor In grandeur, In beauty OF design, AMI
elegance Of finish. The main hall Is TO be $50
feet long, go feet wide, and go feet high! The
picture galleries, built Of brick, will be $500
feet In length, 30 TO 10 feet high, and from ID
to SIS feet wide. The nave and traDsepts are To
be 400 feet long, 10 ieet wide, and 100 feet
high. The sheds and yther necessary buildings
are planned on q corresponding scale. The
whole work must be finished In less than one
year from the present time, or by the 18th OF
February next. The Guarantee Fund, which
amounts In all TO ESQ 900, 10 headed by that
truly royal patron OF the Arts and Sclences,

by competent authorities that the entire strue-
ture win cost case 900, or 81 900 600. IL isto
be located ut South Kensngton. The building
will be made suitable for permanently remain
ing on the site, and will In every way outshino
the Crystal Palace OF 1851. or any other strue-
ture OF modern times. writer states that tho
great hall will contain cubical area more than
ten times as large as that Of the great transeptt
Of the Hyde Park building, and that u would
contain Ave of the centre transepts OF the pres
ent Crystal Palace; its height will be unparal-
leled. There Is q vast space To be occnpici py
the worlds products, its inventions, manufac-
lures, and works OF art.
America will be allotted all the room she can
crcditably fll, and Il Is to be hoped that no
time will be lost In making preparations Tor
having the country well represented IN all tho
departments. Many manufacturers may proi.
itsbiy exhibit their goods to the millions that
will be gathered here from all parts OF tho
world. Il IL, however, the American inventors
who will .. mp the rich harvest u profit and
honor. There are o thousand inventions In uso
In America which are practically unknown In
Europe, that could form one Of the most at
tractfye collections Of the Exhibition, anil tho
publicity thus given them will amply reward
the exhibitors Aside from those directly In.
terested In the Exhibition. we shall expect tens
Of thousands extra American visitors In isj2.
