The smuggling propensities of the Mexi-
cans are likely to occasion trouble between
that country and the United States. 1t was at
one time stated that the Juarez Government
had taken effective measures to break up
the business, but this turns out to be either
unfounded, or the efforts pus forth have
proved unsuccessful. 1t seems to be en-
tirely certain that the smuggling still con-
tinues, and it is equally certain that the
President is determined not to permit it
any longer. OF course an effort on our
part to break it up may involve the practi-
cal invasion of Mexican territory, and hence
the trouble. 1t should be broken up, and
if Mexico is unable to do it, she should not
object to having it done by those who can.

THE WINTER IN RoME-The winter in
Italy is very severe, no such rigorous season
Having been experienced for fifty years. In
the beginning of last December heavy
snow fell, covering the country in all di-
rections, and causing great distress among
the poor in consequence of the lack OF
clothing and shelter. The accounts from
Rome TO December % state that still greater
distress has been produced by the thaw and
the incessant torrents Of rain that had been
falling for several days. The Tiber had
overhowed its banks and had caused fear
tul inuudation, covering the Campagna, and
in the city of Rome flooding the principal
streets. Boats are rowed in the streets,
conveying assistance and provisions TO the
inhabitants blocked up in their houses.
Large quantities of wine and oil stored in
the cellars have been destroyed, and in the
country farm houses, oxen, sheep and other
domestic animals have been swept away.
In the Campagna the herdsmen and shep-
herds have been obliged to take refuge in
the trees, and the inhabitants of the farms
on low grounds have been taken off in boats
and conveyed to Rome as the only place of
safety.
