TER SEAsoN's DIsAPpoINTMRNrs. The
present winter thus far has been unfor.
tunatefor the reputation of the weather
prophets. 1t was predicted that this
season would be one of extraordinary
severity. There may be time enough
left for the fulAllment Of this prophecy,
but, up to nearly the middle of January,
it has been the mildest winter for many
years The fact stated by New York
papers, Of Hudson River steamboats,
running between New York and ALBANY.
is. however, not without precedent. From
observations made during forty.tw
years-oetween 1889 and 1832-it ap-
pears that for fourteen winters, the river
was open in January, and twice did not
close at oil till February. 1t was closed
In december in twenty-three winters,
and In November in four winters. The
rule OF The river, then, is that for sen.
sons of3esdinary or great severity, it
and in seasons of except;onablv cold
weather, it may close in NovemU~2 wh;is
moderat, seasons commonly see it opc.-
as late AZ January, and sometimes as late
ss February. Representations of mete-
geological phenomena seem to have, in
moro than one instance. como to grief.
Some months ago, Lieutenant Saxby, an
officer of the British navy, disturbed the
peace of all ports and harbors with his
grave predictions of An unusual high tide
that was to do all manner OF damage.
There was enough of probability in the
arguments with which Saxby supported
his theory to create alarm in tho minds
OF certain timid ones, who waited with
anxious ekpectance for the coming de-
luge. In the course of time, these pre-
dictions reached Singapore, and, with a
prudence and foresight worthy Of ge-
nuine emergency, the merchants and
municipal authorities set about the erec-
tion OF barriers, to protect their city
from the anticipated food. It is said
that the alarmed citizens expended $lO,-
600 OIL these barriers. and on the day OF
the expected inundation. the tide was not
quite as high as usual. Since then, says
the same authority. the curious observer,
who wanders through the streets of the
city. may detect slight undertone OF
blssphemy in the business quarters, and
science and Saxby come in for about an
equal share OF the malediction.

, The political storm is thickening in
Paris. The disorders at the funeral OF
Victor Noir, though of no immediate
Significance, plainly shows the existence
of dangerous and daily increasing ele-
mept OF dissatisfaction, ready to break
out at every Offering opportunity. The
conduct OF Napoleon. in permitting q
malcontent, like Rochefort, not only to
be at large, but to daily utter and pub
lisll treason, is, to some extent. incom
prehensible. Even Mr.. Stanton. in
republican America, would have had
cell in some Bastile ready for such an
insprreetionist long ago. The amnesty
he is permitted to enjoy, is due either to
superior wisdom on the part of the
Emperor. or to fear of preoipitating q
contest, the issue of which he considers,
atleast, doubtful. One thing is certain
he cannot long maintain his prestige.
