ApoLoeETIc.-Att the present writing
we are In the midst Of the most terrific
storm we ever experienced anywhere.
The atmosphere Is not intensely cold,
but 1t curls about with n rapidity,
variety and industry not at all charm
Ing. The tin roof Of the office has
gone Off entire, and all hands are at
work without shelter. The gale is so
terrific that repairs cannot be made,
and we are compelled to freeze it ont,
praying for m early subsistence of the
storm. Under the circumstances, 1t Is
necessary to crave the indulgence of
our friends, with the deficiencies in
this issue Of the Daily Ne,rs. Every

The English people, according to q
recent article by James Anthony
Fronde. the historian, are degenerating
physically. The causes Of this change
are ascribed to emigration. the decay
Of agricultural pursuits, and the i'll
crease of manufacturing and other in
door occupations. 1t l. asserted that
by manufacturing and mercantile city
life the human constitution Is impaired,
children dwindle as If by blight,
drunkenness induces decrepitude, and
that one thousand weayers are unable
to compete with one hundred laborcS
from the country. This decline In
strength, It Il commended, has produced
a decline In military spirit and an In
ability to resist the warlike attacks, of
q more vigorous people. 1t Is argued
that to these causes may be attributed
the decline of British influence In the
affairs Of the Continent, and the grow
ing disposition Of the English nation
to submit to provocations which a few
years ago would be considered justifi-
able causes Of war. The remedy for
these evils, rs suggested by Mr.. Fronde,
Is to send out the surplus population or
the mother country, at the public eX-
pense. and In this way form British
colonies, the inhabitants Of which, il
is argued, would, through feelings Of
gratitude and interest, defend Great
Britain In a 8 shs BECAME involved In
foreign war. .qE

LAKE TAHoE.-A. correspondent Of
the Sacramento Union, writing from
Lake Tahoe, under date of March 18th,
gives the following items Of interest
from that beautiful mountain locality /:
After almost u month of stormy
weather, 1t has again cleared up, and
the sun shines out war; ard pleasant.
The sleighing is good now for the first
time this winter between Tahoe and
Truckee. The snow has fallen to q
considerable depth Oh the high noun
tains surrounding the lake, but on the
lake shores not more than two feet
remains.
The Lake Tahoe and San Francisco
Water Company have their dam on the
Truckee completed. 1t is located three
and a half miles from the outlet Of
Lake Tahoe. If the State Of Nevada
will permit, suppose the Capital will
be favored with a stream of Tahoe
water. l will recommend it to all who
like something good to drink.
W. Is. Campbell will soon commence
= now hotel ut Hot Springs, on the
lake shore, ten miles northeast Of
Tahoe City. These springs are said to
be very valuable for their medical
qualities. The springs can be reached
In il miles from Truckee by a new
road which the owners have built. It
is said to be agood stage road. It Is
called the Lake Bigler and Hot Springs
road. The parties have obtained a
charter and will collect tolls on the
travel over their road.
The steamer Governor Blasdel was
put through a slight. course Of repairs,
and was got into the lake one week
ago. She was still found to leak badly.
She WAS run across the lake TO Glen
brook, and soon after coming to anchor
she filed and went to the bottom.

A SUPPOSED DEAD MAN DIscoyERED
To DE ALIVE AND KIcKING.-Thc
Memphis Sun has the following in re-
lation toa a residing in st. Louis,
who was supposed to be dead:
In a quiet little town out West, ut
the breaking out Of the war, there
lived three brothers. Each loved the
other with a devotion seldom wit
messed. Chance or fate impelled them
to enter the conflict. One Of them
espoused the Southern cause, and the
other two entered the Federal ranks.
All made good soldiers andthey fought
with q zeal which only could have pro-
ceeded from heartfelt convictions and
devotions. Time rolled on, las it always
does,) and the brother who espoused
the "lost cause" was taken prisoner
and carried to Point Lookout, Mary
land. This was all the intelligence,
and the last that ever reached the
brothers concerning the lone brother,
who had gone out to fight against them
and q cause they deemed so just. They
generally believed that lie must have
persisted during his prison conflne-
ment. Coming themselves out of the
war safe, they made further efforts to
ascertain something certain concern
Ing his supposed death. Seeing their
efforts were fruitless they ceased them.
Shortly after the surrender they con-
cluded to make Memphis their
home, and have since resided in the
city. Imagine their surprise, when
yesterday q brief letter was received
from the supposed dead brother, dated
st. Louis, asking II they had q bro
ther who Joined the Mississippi regl-
ment in 1861, ETC., and If so he was
that humble individual. If they were
relatives ofhis, he would requestthemto
directa letterto-tgiving his address.)
Thus, after ten years Of separation,
the hayward brother, whom they had
mourned both as dead and lost any
how ito them,> turns up alive and well,
after both sides have consented that
the pent up wrongs and the memory
Of the bloody past should be buried In
the common grave of oblivion, and
resting under the olive branch they
will talk Of the days past and gone,
when they romped and. played marble
together under the old weeping willow
that stands in the lane. Truly life
Is stranger thnn fiction"

The rejection Of the San Domingo
treaty BY tile Senate Committee on
