 Years of Cold in Europe.
 The recent severe cold weather in Europe has called forth the following facts, which appeared in the Journal des Debdts:
 In 359 A. D., the Euxine was frozen over.
 In 5O8 the rivers of England were frozen over for two months. T,> ESQ 41o P1oo1y Goo woe oovoro1 xyi I, ice for 20 days, and in 763 the ice was 80 feet thick. < %s *sE@9Fs In s2l the Elbe, the Danube, and the
 In 1923 the Mediterranean was entirely frozen.
 In 1405 Tamerlane made an incursion into China, and lost his men, horses, and camels by the excessive cold. In 1420 Paris experienced so great cold that the city was depopulated, and ami mals fed on corpses in the street
 In 1443, at Paris, snow fell during forty days and forty nights necessarily.
 In 1469, in France and Germany, wine was frozen so hard that it was cut in blocks and sold by weight.
 In 1870 the intense cold lasted three months, and all the fruit trees of Prov ence and Languedoc were destroyed.
 In 1907 provisions and fuel became so scarce on account of cold in Paris that a small bundle of kindling-brush cost 40 cents. The cattle froze in their stalls, and the Seine could be crossed by heavy carts.
 The year 1709 was one of intense cold all over Europe, and mass could not be said for many weeks in certain provinces, because the wine could not be kept in a fluid state.
 In 1735, in Chinese Tartary, the ther- mometer fell ninety seven degrees below zero-Fahrenheit.
 1740 was winter of such rigor in Russia that the ice palace was construct ed at St. Petersburg 51 feet long and IT faet wide. Six ice cannon were mounted on the walls, and two mortars for bombs. The cannon held balls of six pounds weight, were charged with powder, and discharged, so that the ball pierced a board two inches thick at distance ot 60 feet. The cannon did not burst. Its walls were less than ten inches in thick ness.
 1765 was year of intense cold, also 1789. Since that year the cold has never been as great in Paris until last year, when, for the first time in a century Jack Frost came again to the tune of 21 below zero centigrade,

How A LADY KEPT HER PRoMIsE.- Lady Penelope darcy, the only daughter of the Earl of Rivers, when only seven teen, was'wooed by three suitors at the same time-Sir George Trenchard, Sir John Gage and Sir William Hervey. The Knights as in chivalry bound, were disposed to contest the prize with target and lance but the lady herself forbade the battle, and menaced the disobedient Knights with her lasting displeasure, promising jocularly that, if they had but patience, she would have them all in their turns. And she actually fulfilled her promise, for she espoused first Sir George Trenchard of Wolverton, second ly Sir John Gage of Foile, and thirdly Sir William Hervey of Ickworth, and buried the last of them before she was forty years old.

 DYsPEpsA.- a man wishes to get rid of dyspepsia, he must give his stom ach and brain less to do. It will be of no service for him to follow any particu- lar regimen-to live on chaf bread, or any such stuff to weigh his food, etc., so long as the brain is in constant state of excitement Let that have proper rest, and the stomach will perform it's functions.
 But if he pass IA or 15 hours day in his office or counting room, and take no exercise, his stomach will inevitably become paralyzed, and if he put nothing into it but cracker day, it will not digest it. In many cases it is the brain that IS the primary cause. Give that delicate organ some rest. Leave your business behind you when you go to your home. ''.s'
 Do not sit down to your dinner with your brows knit and your mind absorbed in casting up interest accounts Never abridge the usual hours of sleep. Take more or less exercise in the open air every day. Allow yourself some inno- cent recreation. Eat moderately, slow ly, and of what you please, provided it be not the shovel and tongs. If any particular dish disagrees with you, how ever, never touch or look it. Do not imagine that you must live on rye bread or eat oatmeal porridge reasonable quantity of nutritious food is essential to the mind as well as the body. Above all, banish all thoughts of the subject. If you have any treatises on dyspepsia, domestic medicine, etc., put them directly into the fire.
 If you are constantly thinking and talking about dyspepsia, you will surely have it. Endeavor to forget that you have stomach. Keepa clear conscience; live temperately, regularly, cleanly, be industrious, too, but be temperate.
 A NOTED SrAa.-A celebrated stag, known as "The Doctor" belonging to Queen Victoria, was shot the other day by order of the Earl of Cork, Mas ter of the Royal Buckhounds. "The Doctor'' is spoken of as the best stag that was ever followed across country. During the last ten years, however, he became extremely artful. He saw through the business, and shirked his duty by all manner of expedients. He knew the whole region thoroughly, and when the hounds were after him he would go calmly into the nearest farm house, where he always got hospitable treatment. Once he squartered himself in bakers shop, and another time in 8 butchers. On two occasions he made his way into Windsor Castle and got in to the State apartments. "The Doc tor's'' last run was on Boxing Day. He ran for just fifteen minutes, until he saw house with an open door, and then walked leisurely into the drawing groom, where lady was sitting. The animal was extremely docile and intelligent, and his death, which was rendered nec- essary by an accident, is mourned by many old friends.

Alabama Claims.

The discussion of the Alabama claims in England continues, and grows more vehement. The English case laid before the Geneve Board of Arbitration has not been published, and no opportunity has been given of forming an estimate of the British demands. But the case of the United States has now been before the public for two or three weeks, and all the newspapers and other organs of public opinion teem with hostile com ment and reports in regard to it.
 The AdUeg'tiser asserts that Chief Jus tice Cockburn, one of the arbitrators, will withdraw from the board, and that the government will repudiate the treat ty of Washington. A correspondent of the same journal advocates this course. He suggests as precedent what he assumes to be the repudiation of the treaty of Ghent by the United States, and advises England to follow the exam pie of America.
 The Daily Neus says it has reason to believe that the claims of the United States for indirect damages have been declared out of the question and main tains that this opinion is backed by the undivided sentiment of the country.
 Nothing has been published of cabinet discussions on the subject; nor is it known that any action has been taken by the government. All dispatches to the Continent and America professlng to give accounts of proceedings in the Cab- inet on this question are pronounced by the Reuter- News Agency without foun- dation. <EheY are mostly made up of irresponsible newspaper statements.
