THE WEATHER.-Our city yesterday wore
a true winter aspect. Early in the mOrDng
snow commenced to fall, and from that time
until noon the flakes fell sitting through the air
and now and then, by some little puff of wind,
clustered into faces and into open doors and
through open blinds, drifting into alleys, and
covering all accessible objects with thin mantle
OF purest white The snow fell to a depth which
afforded fair sleighing, and the iinglng OF merry
sleigh bells were often heard, from early morn
to dusk of eve.
The air was mild, but somewhat chilly, perod-
cally striking through the thickest OF clothing
and making the body shiver with its contact
About O'clock in the aftern Ooh, signs OF rain
we're apparent, and a fine mist fell for some
time.
This morning the aspect of the streets was
not so inviting. The "snow devils" put into
active use by the railroad worBmen, piled snow
and dirt along the tracks, and salt was freely
used. The walks have been etfectually cleaned
of their snowy covering on all the principal
streets.
Sleighers are making the best of the present
time, by using every manner of vehicle on run
ners to be found. which will be actively en-
gagged even until the snow has nearly dlsaD-
peared, and they scrape over the rough pave
ment.

AN ELDERLY JoKER.-Andrew Mcbride,
aged fitty-fve years, was arrested last Saturday
night for mistalSing somebody else's property
for his own. 1t appears that about IL o'clock
in the act of removing sash from one of the
windows of old Moyamensing Hall, when he was
arrested. He was asked what he was dong,
when he replied that he had purchased the
aforesaid sash, and was taking it away. He
furthermore had in his possession a quantity
of lead pipe which had been also obtained
from the building. He accounted for the pos
sion of the latter very facctlously Gov
ernment watchmen take the pipe, and l have
as much right as they bave." Alderman Lutz
did not see it in that light, and sent the funny
old fellow TO prison, in default OF $500 bail, to
reflect on the absurdty Of his position.

A BIG HAUL AT A DIsoRDERLY HOUSE,
For some time past the "Grant House." kept by
a man named Alexander Pleiffer, at No. l25 N.
Seventh street, near Cherry, has been COM
planned of to the authorities as a nuisance.
Last Saturday night, about half-past 10 o'clock,
q squad of policemen surrounded the place and
arrested some fourteen or fifteen of the jewellers
who had been holding an orgie within. The
proprietor and four men and ten woman were
arrested, and marched off to Alderman Godbou's
office. After hearing the circumstances OF the
case, in which it was alleged that the house was
a common resort for street-wafkers and disOr-
derly characters, the proprietor was held in
$1,000 bail to answer for keeping dlsordery
house, and the others fined and held to bail to
keep the peace.

John Paul on Greeley. nseolr.e.,on On.

At present I'm reading "Recollections of a
Busy Life" by my old friend Horace Greeley.
like to discipline my mind and no severer
discipline occurs to me. At present I'm rest
ing over the paragraph in which pleasant
compliment is paid to Mr.. Raymond OF the
Times. The surprise quite took my breath
away. He is the only man, says Mr.. Greeley,
ever connected with, the Tribune Office that
it was over necessary to caution against do
ing tco much-against everlasting himself
Very likely, for Mr.. Raymond is famous
worker. ,tl .-F,s.,.ae.. eo t.sss
That Mr.. Greeley has always had kindly
feeling for his old employee, and that it has
been reciprocated to the full, none can doubt
who have kept the run of the Tribune and
Times. The little epithets exchanged were
playful bandinage, relics of the old familiar
times when their desks were neighboring,
and H. G. and II. j. broke journalistic bread
together-only this and nothing more.
For instance, Mr.. Greeley coming down to
ing Mr.. Raymond hard at work at his desk,
would address him thus: "You little villain |
didn't tell you to go home three hours ago,
and here you are pegging away like mad.
You little villain, you, do you mean to break
down your health dleave me without first
class assistant? Shovel your copy into the
box, and come out and get some cCffee and
cakes, you iDdefatigable rascal"
VerV much so with Thurlow Weed, who
was also one of the Tribune staff, before his
present connection with the unmerciful Adj
vertiser. He was hard worker, 100, and 81.
g., found similar fault with him that he did
with II. J., though in lesser degree. On
Fourths OF July, Thurlow was always found
writing squibs instead of firing off crackers,
as other boys were doing. ''You old scoun-
drel you, why aren't you off keeping the
Fourth, and having bully time of it?' II.
G., would say, pushing his spectacles up on
his expansive forehead, Il told you to take a
holiday last night" rm sr rs-z sr t .f-re.
".guess not sir; you didn't say anything
about it to me-" Thurlow would reply.
"Why, you inveterate old liar, you cantan-
kerous, contumacious, consummate, old
scoundrel, you, told you so twice. Clear
out of here, and don't show yourself till to
morrow morning, and here's pass to the cir
Gus, you tow-headed rascal" @
That is the pleasant way Horace used to
talk to the boys in the office, and he keeps 1t
up now that they've got papers of their own.
The general public don't understand it,
though, and think that he's vituperative at
times. Not so; he's only funning with the
boys-that's all. They know what he means
all the while, and the kindness he has for
them at the bottom, and don't mind it bit.

A New Magazine.

This is time of great activity in the de-
partment of magazine literature. Old favor
ties of the last decade, compelled by the hard

it is published by J. B. Lippincott & Co. 1t

ance is attractive, and the varied and pleasant

moon;" "Vox Humana;" "The Cook in His
tory" my Destiny" "Our Ancient City"

the literature of the day, are the remaining
contents. The magazine seems to have in it
all the elements of popular success and such
we cordially wish for it. Its subscription

Mr.. EDIToR:-It is not often, as you know,

SO many works of uncommon merit that real

Among those which deserve something more
than brief newspaper notice, to die out with
the going down of the sun, is "The Layman's
Breviary," a translation from the German of
Schefer, twelfth edition, by G. T. Brooks; just
issued by Roberts Brothers, Boston; being
