TheS storm.

Yesterday evening the storm 1end got on
"a BENDER" and surprised some Of our good
citizens with his anti.tropical antics. He
came driving, four-inhand, from the four
quarters of the heavens, through our streets
with fury that startled even those who are
no strangers to rough weather. A thick
binding snow storm, driven all abroad by
fierce winds, Is an unusual phenomenon in
these latitudes, and the sufferings of the poor
occasioned by this stress Of weather must be
terrible. The words Of King LEAR were re.
called last evening:
Poor naked wretches, whsreso'er you are,
That bide the pelting Of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides
Your looped and windowsd raggedness defend you
From seasons such as these ~
When SMoLLsrT said
Thy steps follow with my bosom bare,
Nor heed the storm that hoWls along the sky,''
he did not allude, audaciously, to such O
storm as that which has been careering over
the country lately. If any one had at
tempted to follow the steps Of the storm last
night, at rapid gait, he would have come
to grief on some Of the street corners where
the snow was blown away, and thin sheet
Of slippery ice covered the sidewalks.
Our telegraphic dispatches this morning
show how the storm king hos dominated the
whole country.

PAREPA, THE QUEEN OF SONG.

A very incorrect personal paragraph
about Parepa is ahoat. In the first place
she is not going to get married shortly. In
the second she has no child. In the third she
is not the widow OF an Italian, but Of q Cana

named Cowell. Parepa Is her maiden name.

unwarrantable liberty in announcing the
concerts she is now giving as a farewell SO.

Dana For COnkIing.

The success OF Conkling. in the New Y ork

That Mr.. DANA should have labored for

struck hands with ASHLEY, the impeached
impeacher, to put up gold and deprecate the
Government credit. Whether young JAMES
GoRDoS, in Paris, received telegraphic notice
to operate on Government stocks is not yet

Of the Treasury to resist the congressional
bulls and bring gold down, the unhealthy lie,
gislation of Congress keeps it up to q certain
figure. There is no doubt whatever that il

DOings Of the Green-Eyed Monster
In Cincinnati.

Another mysterious tragedy has been com

known Scotch liquor merchant, PETER
THOMPSON. Miss THOMPSON was the alleged
mistress of prominent builder Of Cincin

poker and struck Miss THOMPSON over the

death in a few hours.

THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME.

The following paragraph is the conclusion
Of lengthy editorial in the New York
Times. 1t is fair reflex Of the purpose Of
the Democratic leaders who entered the
August Philadelphia Convention with SOL
emn pledges upon their lips, which they vio-
lated with impunity as soon as it adjourned,
supposing that they could swindle the people
out Of their votes on the one hand and cheat
THE PRESIDENT out of the Federal Offices on
the other. Here is the programme" from
the Times
"Divested Of disguise, this is the Demo
cratic programme Foment strife between
the President and Congress, and between the
South and Congress; consummate an alliance
between the Democracy Of the North and
the unrepentant rebel element at the South,
with a view to resist congressional authority
in the next Presidential election, if not
sooner. In other words, judging Of the
Democratic party by its utterances in Con
necticut and Ohio, il seeks to undo what the
war has done, and to place the control OF
the Government in hands that have been
openly or covertly hostile to its authority"
