THE WINTER.-The continued mildness
and spring-like weather of the present win
ter has puzzled even "the oldest inhabit-
ant " to find precedent. Some digger-up
of facts has, however, found that it had o
precedent in the year l718-sufficiently far
back to excuse any of us from remember
ing it-when, on January 18th, "the ice
from the rivers had disappeared and the
frost Was out of the ground. For three
weeks previously the weather had been like
spring, and peas, beans, etc., had been
planted. But week had scarcely elapsed
ere severe cold weather set in, and the
rivers were filed with ice." 1t appears
from this that in 171S they had had wea-
ther sufficiently cold to produce ice in the
rivers so that in that particular the COM
parison does not hold good, nor is it likely
now that we can have much severe :wea-
Their. The winter of 1870 may therefore
still claim distinction over that of 49,
Baltimore american.
An old gentleman informs us that he re-
members a winter-more than forty years

there was hardly even frost in January.

4 NOBLE DISPLAY OF CHARITY.-1nci-
dents like the following exert marvellous
~ healing power on the warm southern
heart. A writer from Nashville, Tenn, to
one of the New York papers, says:
1.-The Confederate orphans, sixty in num-
Der, from their Home in GAINESVILLE, were
brought here on Tuesday last to give a con-
cert in aid of their Home, the institution
being entirely dependent upon private cha
rity. AT the railroad depot they were met
by the Federal post bands, in full uniform,
which preceded them into the city, playing
sweetly and mournfully, therefore most ap-
propriately, commanding the admiration
and constraining the enthusiastic applause
of thousands. This practical fact, with the
elimination of that beginning in the Fede-
raj post officers attending the concert in the
evening in full uniform, where honors given
were responded to by tears of sympathy
shed and contributions bestowed, has
preached the Union with decided power in
all this quarter, and been accepted as an
earnest of peace and goodwill to come"

Is there to be no end to the destructive
ravages Of kerosene T.? Already it kills
more than railway and steamboat accidents
put together, and yet the fatal explosive
ness is mainly a consequence of adultera-
ton. Commercial fraud is becoming an
agency more deadly than the most dreaded
epidemic; it poisons the community through
its drinks, and destroys life and property
by means of the domestic lamp. The poor
creatures who were left houseless and des-
titute the other night by the fire in Thirty
fourth street may have no appeal against
the injustice that diluted the household oil
with elements of destruction, but the State
ought to take cognizance of an abuse so
shameful and go inhuman.-Neao York
Times

Georgia Poliffes-Protest Against
Delay i'm Reconsideration.
ATLANTA, GA, February 5.--The oldest
and most influential Democratic journal in
the State of Georgia, always heretofore OPP
posing thereconstruction policy Of Congress,
comes out to-day in bitter protest against
the self-eonstituted delegation to Washing
ton, headed by Bryant, without any au-
thority from the people, which seeks to
stir up strife and keep Georgia out Of the
Union, to have reconstruction done over,
and entail on its people the enormous ex-
pense Of going through what she has gone
through for the third time in the earnest
efforts Of the people to comply with the
demands of Congress. 1t says that every
interest Of the State demands that recon
struction be considered by Congress as per-
fected in Georgia; that men of property,
taxpayers, labor enterprise, and every
other interest of the State, demands that
stop be put to the schemes of the so-called
Bryant-Democracy; that the great mass of
the people of the State receive the recent
acts as final settlement of the reconstruc-
ton issue, and the great body of the Demo
Gratis do not sustain the movement of Bry-
ant and his committee to overthrow what
has been already done. -

The WRETcHEDEsT WOMAN IN NEW YORK.
The New York Sun describes the wretch
eldest woman" in that city as the wife of
Chinese sailor named Now eit-See, living
in room in Cherry street. The Sun says:
'1She is Catholic. He is Pagan. They
have three children, who have been edu-
Gated mainly at the Howard Mission, and
who are consequently neither Pagans nor
Catholics, but are largely leavened with
Professionalism. This commingiing of rei-
gious elements sometimes brings about
strange scenes in that dismal room. On one
occasion the Catholic wife was found on her
knees in one corner devoutly saying her
prayers and counting her beads, while the
husband was at the same time crouched in
another corner worshipping his heather
gods, and the children we're singing hymn
which they had learned at the Mission
School,"
Nearly all the Cinnamon in New York
are, it is stated, married to white women,
and the latter are generally brutally
treated.
Now Weit-See has treated his wife af-
ter the Chinese fashion, and the infamma-
tory rheumatism, starvation, and foul at
mosphere, have treated her after their fash
ion--and so there she lies on her ragged
bed in that back room, on the second floor,
one of the most litiable objects BOW to be
seen on EARTH

Memphis. February A riot occurred O..
Brookville, Mississippi, on the I'd, between
negroes and whites, growing out of the
wounding by youth named Farmer of a
negro who assailed him, which at one time
threatened to involve the whole section in
bloodshed and strife. The negroes, who
we're armed, forcibly took Farmer from the
constable, and threatened to kill him and
burn the town. A messenger was dispatched
to Columbus for assistance. Fifty armed
men returned on the train, who arrested
seventy-fve negroes. The others fed. At
last accounts quiet had been restored.
