A Letter from F rederika Bremen.

The following letter of the Swedish authoress
is received 1t does honor TO her memory
"ARsTA, December 10, ls65.-Mr. Campbell,
United States Minister-My Dear Sr:Z
hope that you have enjoyed yourself, and the
scenery in the picturesque country OF Norway.
/ hope also that you and dear Mrs Campbell
have, in Stockholm, this autumn, assisted in
this very dramatic period OF Swedish social and
political life, whose first part ended happily and
beautifully the 7th of December in the house of
the nobility. AS true republicans, lovers OF
civil equality in social and political rights, you
will have enjoyed it. The reference made in the
Kings opening speech to the Diet, to the work
of public education as the thing to do, in order
to give a sure foundation to the freedom and
welfare OF the nation, supported as this opinion
is by his Minister'S and especially by the noble.
minded statesman Louis de Geer--the author OF
the now accepted reforms of our representation
shows high consciousness of both the aim and
the means of social development.
''What do the leading minds OF your great coun.
try give as a programme for their aims and
efforts, at the opening of this new great period
of lie in the New World? do hope and ex-
pect that their programme Will not take a less
higb-minded view of peoples lite and true
grandeur than the Government OF this little
realm. And oh, how much more difficult is the
work of civilization in your land, encum-
bered as 1t is with millions of souls
who are still to be redeemed from the
bondage of ignorance and ineXperience
in the rights and duties of social man. What a
power of good will and active work is needed
there! l should feel happy II yeu could tell me
what is going on, what is done and doing In this
line in the United States in behalf of the slave
population and the poor people OF the Southern
States
us it not wonderful and providential that
South Corolina, which was the first to raise the
standard OF revolt for secession and slavery,
should be forced to fix the last seal to the law
which makes union and freedom the laws of
each and all in your great realm?
81 congratulate you with heart and soul that
il is done. Praise unto God, peace on earth,
and good will unto human kind The victory
won in America for the principles of human

Remarkable Display of Aurora BOrealis
ON February 21st-An Official Report
from the Dudley Observatory.

Remarkable Display OF Aurora BOrealis
on February 21st-An Official Report
from the Dudley Observatory.
During O portion OF last night and this
morning, a peculiar aurora appeared IN the
northern heavens. At ~ p. NJ. OF the 2Oth an
auroral cloud was visible near the northern
horizon, and occasional streamers were given
off from the cloud being mostly confined TO
the east and west limits. But 1t was not until
5 A. N. on the 2lst that we noticed anything
unusual IN this phenomenon. At tnat time q
black auroral cloud lay piled up in the north,
extending along the horizon about l2O degrees.
This cloud increased in darkness as we ap-
preached the horizon, and we have reason to
believe IL was an auroral cloud, since the sky
was perfectly clear, and not a single vapor
cloud was visible in any portion OF the heavens.
This cloud had an altitude Of about 30 degrees
on the meridian, and the upper margin was
fringed with the auroral light, formlnga At times
q complete arch.
The streamers or flakes of light we're thrown
off from the northeast and northwest ends of the
cloud with astonishing Tapidity., we estimated
the motion from the horizon 70 the zenith at less
than the one-tenth of a second OF time.
At 5h. lem. the streamers seemed to Jet in one
constant stream from the northwest and north
east portion of the cloud, while ali along the
north the auroral arch threw OIL waves OF light
every two or three seconds.
At this time it was truly grand and magnif-
cent phenomenon. These detached flakes formed
in such rapid stream from the cloud as almost
to bewilder one in trying TO follow them.
At BI. 20m. the flakes and streamers continued
to appear and disappear in remarkably quick
succession. And occasionally an Immense wave
of light was rolled from the whole northern
horizon and disappeared in the zenith.
At 5h. som. the aurora continued, but with
not such striking characteristics.
In the early eve ming until nearly o'clock the
skv was clear and the moon shone with unusual
brillancy. About this time snow squal sud-
denly came up which continued for halt an
Hour or longer. This squall was accompanied
with violent gust of wind from the northwest
Immediately preceding this squall the register
rise of 0O6 inches in less than three minutes
The barometer continued to rise until noon OF
the 2lst, when its height was 30'37 inches.
That the aurora is an electrical phenomenon
is pretty generally admitted; but whether 1t has
any connection with the atmospheric pressure
and the fluctuations of the barometer has not
yet been fully determined. H.

A Chanre I'm HnnRnrr.

Governor Kossuth has probably read, with
singular emotion the accounts Of the enthusi-
astsc reception gwen 10 Francis Joseph and his
wife by the magnates OF Hungary. The imperial
condescension dsplayed in q personal visit TO
Pesth was acknowiedged with evidences OF pro-
found gratitude by the Primate aud the leading
mobiles, the former having officiated as spokes-
man Tor his brethren. The Emperor's speech
was greeted with loud cries Of ELLEN Ellen J"
the came salutation which once stirred the
heart of Koesuth when he inveghed against
Francis Joseph and incitd Hungary to rebel
lion. The Empress having been personally ad-
dressed by the Primate, replied
"a heartfelt wish OF mine has been fulfilled
by my being able to accompany my illustrious
consort tot the capital Of Hungary. | have

country. AZ | warmly sympathize with them,
and ike to oe in the midst OF them, the hearty

Eighteen years have gone by since Hungary
made it's grand defiance of the House OF Haps-
burg, aud few to arms in defense of its nation
atty ard during this time the Emperor seems
to have learned wisdom. His recent grants OF
privileges 70 the HungarIans and his new de-
claratons of respect for constitutional rights,
coupled with some expressions OF personal IN
terest and mis- journeys into Hungary allay dis
affection and produce these loyal manifestations.

that his tribute to the popular viii is probably
given grudeiDgly against all the traditions OF his
house; but the result appears so satisfactory to
the Hunearlans themselves, that they show no
inclination to question the means By which IT
was produced. Meanwhile, Kossuth remains In
exile, and, il report be true Ill poverty.

About Advertising.

1t was the remark of very eminent Bos-
tonian that he regarded an advertisement in
paper as a personal invitation extended to
him to call, and added; ''While I sometimes
hesitate about entering store the proprietors
of which have not thus sent their cards to my
residence, 1 always feel certain of a cordial
welcome from the members of aR advertising
firm" There is in this remark an assurance OF
one of the many results of advertising The
trader and his calling become identified, and
the name of man is inseparably connected in
the mind of the public with his merchandise.
1t may not be the very day an advertisement
appears that it bears it's fruit; weeks or months
may elapse, and then when the want arises the
article TO be obtained Immediately suggests the
advertiser. This is the effect of general adj
vertising when persistently followed. special
class of advertising, where some novelty is an
nounced is more immediate.
A shreWd business man once advertised trifing
article in manner which could scarcely prove
remunerative. His neighbors expressed their
regret at his folly, but he appeared contented
Though his gross sale Of the article lid not cover
the cost of his advertising, he attracted ne "
class OF people to his store, and his shrewdness
paid him IN a short time, for new eyes saw what
he had to offer in addition to the specially adyer-
tised, and new purses came under contribution
| to him.
The object which all aim 20 accomplish in ad.
vertising is AN increase OF business. The nimble
shilling is what we require in this age. 10 costs
| very little more in the way of expense TO carry
on business Of two hundred thousand dollars
| than il requires TO do half that amount. The
1 cost of rent, personal living, and many Incl
dental expenses, do not increase in the ratio ol
business, while time is saved; tor there is greater
| profit resulting from trade OF two hundred
| thousand in one year than from the same
amount, aad even more, extended over twice
! the space of time. These simple facts are vel
| known by energetic business men, who adopt
| advertising as the most powerful method o
saving time, by Increasing business, and thus

Former Judge Turned Newspaper Carrier

''We noticed our old friend Judge p, this morn
ing, with his face bundled up in muller, about
starting for his customary morning tour of dis
tributing papers among the Carondeletonians.
The Judge, in his person, illustrates the ups
and downs of lie in a remarkable degree. In
better times he practised at the bar In New
Orleans thirteen years, was at one time Dis
trict Judge, and did business on his own hook
to the amount of hundreds OF thousands of Dl-
lars.
'During the fnanciall crisis of 1887 he broke,
eventually drlfted'around to Leavenworth, Kan
sas, and came to this city about eight months
ago. On reaching this city, not having the
means TO open an office, he accepted, like man
( OF sense the first "opening" that offered, which
was that OF the honorable guild of newspaper
carriers.
''The Judge is, in some respects, remarkable
man. He is probably better posted up in poll
tical figures than any dozen men in America.
He can give, without the least effort, the pre-
else vote cast by each State for alF the candi-
dates for President since the days of Old Hickory
and John Quincy Adams. His memory of hgures
is remarkably retentive.
"Yesterday the Judge had the pleasure of
meoting in this city with Mr. Pindell, nephew
and former Secretary OF Henry Clay. Mr.. Pin
dell is iIom Kentucky, and stops a, the Planters

To the workmcn the Reward.

Wpt seems to be erowing daily more certain
that General John w. Geary will be the Union
candidate Tor Governor of Pennsylvania. Cen
eral GeaIy's record during the war has been
one that entities him to the reputation he
seems to enjoy in this State, and he has
had, besides, an extensive experience in the
discharge Of responsible civil trusts.
Already respectable proportion ofthe Guber-
material chairs of the loyal States are filed by
returned heroes of the war. Missouri, Iowa,
