A curious hinderance to accurate weather OBJ
seryatons is reported from Lake Huron. The
forest fires on tho Canadian shores have caused
such o dense atmosphere as nearly to put an
end to Lake navigation. And now the volume
of smoke has been driven eastwardly
into Pennsylvania in a wedge-like form When
the weather observers are more generally dis
tributed, we shall be able to trace up to their
source some of the curious phenomena OF
smoky haze which have bothered the sea-
farers on the Pacific, blotting out the sun and
giving rise to wild prophecies of earthquake.

SCOTT.

Yesterday, in the two great capitals of the
English race, the fulfllment of the century of
Scott was celebrated with every manifestation
of affectionate enthusiasm. We publish, in our
news columns, generous and graphic details of
the honors paid the poet in England and
America. We gave, on the occasion of the
celebration last week at Edinburgh, 80 full
and so appreciative presentment of the great
magicians life and work that we must not
now return to that view of the attractive
subject. There only remains to notice the
universal and spontaneous tribute which the
world was paying yesterday to this
broad and benefcent genius. Here
was man who held no distin-
guished public position. He was sheriff
of his county, but better sheriffs have served
since him and been forgotten. He was made
baronet by worthless king whose hand
gained nobility from the accolade. But q
mob of peers have died since then, and worms
have eaten them, and there an end. There
has been no Indictment to these memorial
observances from any sovereign or any gov
eminent But the people everywhere have
come together and paid this contribution Of
love and grateful remembrance, whose worth

The negotiations for the speedy evacuation
of the Paris forts by the Germans have failed.
1t seems that these have been carried on by
NJ. Pouyer-Quertier, the French Minister of
Finance, and Msnteuffel, General of the Ger
man Army of Occupation. The basis of the
negotiations was that of making advance pay
ments on the indemnity but France, unfor-
tunately, has not kept up to the terms of the
original agreement, and the Germans have
lately manifested disposition to stand some
what rigidly on the conditions there laid down.

The Canadians are pleasing themselves with
the report that the Marquis of Lorne and
Princess Louise, his wife, are about to take
I'D their residence in the Dominion. At one
time it was believed that Prince Arthur was
to be appointed Governor-General of Canada,
but the report has latterly died out 1t seems
a pity that the Canadians, who are most in
tensely loyal to the family of the Queen,
should not have their desire for sprig of
ROYALTY gratihed in some way. The Marquis
of Lorne is abundantly able to take care of him
self; but if Prince Arthur must have salary,
lie might as well earn it by governing a
colony

San Francisco people are much perplexed
about their proposed new and costly City
Hall. The Legislature made provision for
the erection of magnificent pile, to cost
$f 100000, to be situated in the extreme south
western part of the city, in public reserva-
ton. Money for purposes of building was to
be raised by selling lots in the reservation.
But interested property have inter
yened with endless injunctions, and now the
telegraph informs us that the sale of lots by
the Commissioners has again been stopped
and indefinitely postponed.

Humbug dies hard in this pig-headed world OF
ours The Macon tGa Telegraph is still in the most
ludicrously absurd way talking of Slavery as a
system sanctioned by the great Jehovah himself,
under which our fathers prospered so much and were
universally recognized as the noblest type OF the
human race" How much longer are we to encounter
these dreary specimens of mulish conservatism, by
which we mean the conservatism which has no
logical relation to that which still exists but which

Financial matters in Mexico are lively. To
say nothing of the usual briskness OF the
business of diligence robbing, we have re-
ports of the establishment of a national bank
with neither capital nor credit, and the nego-
tiation of a government loan from the United
States, secured by a mortgage on the national
territory Whatever else may be said of our
neighbors across the Rio Grande, it must be
admitted that they have a cheerful faith in
their own resources.
