SpRINa.-There has been a suddel

SpRINa.-There has been sudden
change of temperature from summer
warmth to the chilliness Of the last days
of winter. 1t is not exactly an illustra-
I ton of the poets conceit about "winter
lingering in the lap of spring" because
there is neither ice nor frost, nor anything
else that suggests the presence of the hoary
old monarch of the hyperborean regions,
except certain sense of GOODNESS that per-
vades the inner aud the outer air. Such
rash mortals IS took down their stoves
during the first days of last week and
packed them away in inaccessible places
will regret the fell spirit of housekeeping
that could not let them stand in their
places until the breath of winter has en-
tirely vanished. A cold, cherries evening
at home is one of those miseries that even
model husbands try to escape from by
staying out late at night. A bright fire
on cool spring evening is a great dis
penser of happiness and great promoter
of conjugal ccnstancy. A
Notwithstanding the unpromising tenn
perature, the harbingers of spring are
coming on apace. The grass has pecu-
liar freshness and greenness that is never
seen later than April. Whether it really
has a deeper hue during this month, or
whether it is the contrast with the sur
rounding darkness that gives it the Won
drous wealth of color, certain it is that
those little patches of sod with which
opulent denizens of the city are happy
enough to surround their dwellings never
look so beautiful as when there is neither
leaf nor flower to divide the admiration.
10 the one case the green spot is the lovely
object that attracts; in the other it is only
the convenient sitting for the more preten-
tious flower.
The trees do not seem to be particularly
early in putting forth their leaves, and if
buds and blossoms are injured by frost it
will Lot be because they have come out
before their time.
How A ISLANDER TRAvELs.-For some
time reports have been afoat that Jenny
Lind's husband had squandered the for
tune with which she retired from the lyric
stage; that she was compelled to teach
music for a living, and that theill-matched
pair had separated by mutual consent.
Mr.. Goldschmidt, the husband in question,
has lately prosecuted three London papers
for slander that contained paragraph to
this effect copied from WoodhuH and Olaf
lin's Weekly; and he was able to prove
that the story had not a shadow of founda-
ton that he lived most happily with his
wife; that her fortune, by his own wish
had been settled upon her, and that it is
much larger now than when they were
married. And yet this SANDER had re.
ceived acceptance all over the world as the
truth =.

ExTREMEs OF FORTUNE. A rather sin
gular instance of the extremes Of for

One OF the early pioneers of San Fran.
cisco was VIM. Ellis, printer by trade.
BY his industry, he accumulated quite
q sum OF money, which he sent to his
wife in! Chicago to be by her Invested
IN real estate. In 1861, property in
the latter place took sudden rise and
Ellis became wealthy. So he returned
to Chicago, where he has resided until
recently. when he took it into his head
to revisit San Francisco, taking with
him his wife. who was O sufferer from
pulmonary ailments. Soon after his ar

TEE HEALTH OF QUEEN VICTORIA.
The almost constant retirement of Queen
Victoria from public view, since the
death of Prince Albert, has been made
the occasion of many uncharitable. and
some very absurd statements. None
have been more unkind than the re-
Gently extensively circulated story that
retirement was but a screen for her in
sanity, behind which she babbled in her
paroxysms like on idiot with the spirit
of her departed husband. It can easily
be understood how the mind may be-
come morbid under the influences of
grief and isolation; but mere retirement
from the glare Of public life, while yet
surrounded by every social influence
royalty might command, makes but q
poor apology fcr such suspicious.
There have been several informal con-
.,:a;e.;cns os .hc story referred :o g:
late. and now We have tho positive essur-
ance of the Queens physician that sail
reports that her Majesty has shown any
symptoms of mental weakness, are un-
qualifiedly false" It is pity that such
testimony has been deemed necessary in
the case; but since it is given, it is to
be hoped that with it ends the poor SEN
sation.
