Snow FACTs "A NOTICE in the New York
Journal Of Commerce OF sermon preached
by Rev. j. o. Means, Of Roxbury, Mass,
having reference to the great snow storm Of
January II, gives lively idea of the mean.
ing Of the familiar term, "bedy of snow
Mr.. Means stated that, having weigeda cubic
foot of snow, he had calculated that the
whole tonnage Of the world, from the small
est craft on the bosom of the smallest stream
to the largest steamer that plows the ocean,
would be required for twenty years TO carry
the body of snow that fell in the storm alu-
ded TO from the point of delivery 10 any rea-
sonable distance. 1t was further stated that
if all the snow Of that one storm had fallen
upon the State of Massachusetts, 1t would
have made monument of almighty power
twice as high as Bunker Hill Monument, and
thatif it had all fallen upon the City OF Rox-
bury, it would have constituted pile ten
times the hight of Mount Washington.

WELL PUT.-To those who are SO clam
oreus for the maintenance of the faith OF
the nation, an exchange very pertinently
puts the following questions and gives an
swer -. .. s...
Wasn't the faith of the nation solemuly

for the purp pose of interfering with the
domestic institutions of the South? I'd,
that it was not wage1 for the subjugation
or conquest of the South Sd, that the
States of the South should be re-admitted

Assassination of Lopez, the Betrayer OF
Maximlllian.

A letter gives the following details of
the assassination OF Lopez, who betrayed
Maximiian; arrived here to day and
learned the startling news of the sssassina.
ton Of the traitor, Lopez. The particu-
lars of the assassination are as follows -
Lopez was staying at hotel in Puebla,
where his wife-spurned him from her pres
ence. Early one morning 'fexican ar
rived, and familiarized himself with an os-
tier in livery stable adjoining the hotel,
General Mignel Lopez was inquired for,
but not being in, the stranger was told that
the General would be at dinner. Before
the dinner hour Lopez returned, and was
pointed out to the stranger, who made
special note of his man. When dinner
was called, Lopez and his assassin occupied
opposite seats at the table-after
some minutes during which time the stran
ger called for and drank glass of wine
he deliberately rose, drew a concealed
knife, and sprang upon Lopez, and stabbed
him nine times. The stranger then took
his hat, and as be started to leave, said
"This Is the way all traitors should be paid.
No one interfered or prevented the as
sassin from leaving. Thus was the blood
of Maximilian, Miramon, Mejia, yes and
thousands Of others, avenged.

RIDlCULoUs.--A fashion that is absurd
has come into use of late in certain circles,
and the rising generation will blush for the
70 ly of their progentors when they grow
older and wiser 1t is not prscticed so
much in the naming of boys, but in respect
to girls it has run to the extreme of senti-
mental Stiffness. Thus girls, instead of
being baptized with such sensible, old fash
ioned names as Matilda, Margaret, Char
lotte or Sarah, are christeDed "Tillie, %
"Maggic," "Lottie," "Sadie." Ellen dwin-
dies into Ellie Susan sbrinks into "Su,
sie;" Caroline is made ridiculous by being
cut down to 'Linnie )" Emma becomes in
sipid in "Emmmie )" and, most wretched
of all, the beautiful name of Mary is frit-
tered into Mamie, t.or "Maze," This
sickly sentimentalism is about as foolish as
the poetic lnbrications of bereaved fathers
and mothers who inform an unapprecia-

unavalling to save "Billy" from the fatal

A NEGRO STATE.-Sheridan's report OF
registration in Louisiana shows 1858
registered voters--white and black. In
1860 the total poll of whites was 50,5lO.
The negroes have 3S,142 majority, W hlch
shows a voting force of 44,723 whites and
82,865 negroes. If all the whites we're
registered they would have small major
ity over the blacks. In ten parishes out
of forty eight the whites have from three
hundred to five hundred majority. In all
the others the blacks are dominant.
Such is the despicable state of affairs
breaghh hab out by the Infamous leaders OF
thesRaEcal party, and all to secure power
aud wealth for themselves. The Northern
working masses are to be crushed beneath
the expense of ofregistration and the support
of standing army and military govern
ments, and hereafter, in elections for Pres
ident and members of Congress, their votes
and influence at the ballot-box will be held
in check or entirely destroyed by these hor
des of ignorant negroes, the majority Of
whom are not more worthy to vote thar
the beasts of the fields. Are these the re
suits for which Pennsylvanians gave theil
lives and limbs, poured out their wealth
and burdened themselves with an incubus
of debt? Let the rank and file of the Rad.
ical party consider this question calmly for
a moment, outside of party bias and pred
judiee, and say, candidly. whether all thi'
is as it should be and as they desire it ir

"Absurd and Criminal"

The Pittburg Chronicle, Radical daily
paper, is unable to submit to all the vile
utterances of its party. 1t quotes from the
address of +. Jordan, chairman of the State
committee, the following shameless SEN
tence:
"The Democratic party, with Judge
Sharswood for its leader, and with Free
Trade, State Rights and Secession on its
banner, is again marsbaling its hosts, and
now summoning US to the field of political
combat on these same issues"
Disguised with such Infamous falsehoods
put forth by its own friends, the Chronicle
says: ~ .-- ..- -!.. .... ....
at is insulting to the people of Pennsyl-
vania to say that in this judicial contest the
Democratic party has secession inscribed on
its banner.-We warmly support Judge
Williams in this contest, but we will not
even by silence lend our endorsement to SO
utterly a shameful and Inwaranted a charge
as the one above quoted. 1t is sign oi
bad party decentralization when such means
are dopted to achieve success. 1t is ut
terly wrong and utterly unnecessary. Such
things recoil against the men who practice
them. and cloud even an honest cause with
suspicion. 1t is both absurd and criminal
to say that the right of secession will be an
issue in the approaching election. The Re
publican party can 60 into canvass upor
its own merits and upon actualissues, with
out compromising itself by these shabby
devices, and we trust no respectable journa
in the party will lend itself to such style
of warfare. 1t is yeritable Mexican
business"
