Oh! this dreadfully changeable weather! don't
wonder that foreigners abuse our climate. | don't
wonder they talk of "sunny France" and the "blue
skies of Italy," when they contrast those natural
luXures Of air and light with the hckle phenomena
OF the American climate. Being optimist, and
not pessimst, l am inclined to believe that
taking all things into consideration, climate is
probably the best for us, and that foreigners must
take care Of themselves.
suppose the parsons would say that it is fami-
liarity with simulated crime that occasionally
betrays actors and actresses into peccadl-

only thief in the matter is procrastnation who has
the poetical reputation of having committed nume-
rous larcenies upon time, and who in the present
case has yet prevented my arriving at the truth.
Mrs. Caroline Cox has been fined ten dollars for
assauting and battering tender pupil little girl
aged eleven years. School teachers do not carry
their Outrages to quite such an extent here as they
do in Massachusetts, for nagelaton has been done
away with in the public schools, and it is only the

Mrs. CoX's case was an aggravated one, far beyond
the power of ten dollar greenback to assuage, and
in my opinion, personal experience OF the whip
pingpost and piory, as those institutions are pre-
served in Delaware would do her no harm.
