Count de Strzeleckf.

Paul Edmund Count de Strzelecki, or, as he
lately desired to be called, Sir Edmund Strzelecki,
has died at his residence in Saville row, London, at
the age OF seventy-seven years. Count de Stree
lecki came from an old Polish family; but. like
many others OF his countrymen, owing to poti-
cal circumstances, he sought an asylum In Eng
land. Early in life he was great traveller, and on
his way from China he happened to land at Sydney.
and there met Sir George Gipps the Governor, OF
whose suggestion Count de StrzelecN explored
great portion OF Australia, traversing dis
tricts which were then unknown to previous
explorers. In his explorations he discovered
specimens Of gold On hts arrival In Eng
land, after his travels In New South Wales
he received O welcome from the Colonial Secretary
and many who had learned OF his eminent scientific
knowledge and OF his extensive travels became his
warmcst friends. He was selected as one OF the
commissioners for the relief OF the Irish famine in
isI7-'s and 1t was during the aforementioned year
that while dlscharging bis duties as one OF the
commissioners, ne was stricken by fever at Mayo;
He recovered after snort but sharp attack, and
assisted to promote the emigration OF many Inn
poyerished families to Australia. The government,
In consideration or his valuable services during
the famine nominated him In 1S4S companion
U,ivin OF the order OF the Bath, and iurther re-
warded him In 1860 by creating him Knight Com
mander OF St Michael and ST. George, an honor
which he highly priced. He was elected rellow
Of the Royaf society In June, 1883; was d. Q. L.,
and member OF several OF our learned societies.

MR.. DIsRAELI's MARRIAGE.
Genius. eloquence, firm will and much industry
are fine elements Of success, but to complete them
all politician should have good wife, and this
greatest OF blessings Mr.. Disrae found In 1889 In
the person OF MRS. Wyndham Lewis, the widow
OF his parliamentary colleague for Maidstone.
Mrs. Lewis was rich, and her fortune enabled her
husband to contract those valuable social relations
which are bred Of pleasant dinners and frequent
sat homes" But, in addition to her fortune Mrs.
Lewis brought her husband dowry Of love, wor-
ship and devotion such as IL is given to few men

was his helpmaie, watchfu adviser tender and In
defatigabe ally She schemed for him, extollod
him all sides and passed her days and nights in
planning how she might make him friends and ad-
vance his prospects. IL Is well known that driving
down to the House OF Commons with him
one night when he was going to speak
she jamined her finger In the door, but
concealed the pain she ielt and forbore even to
speak OF the accident lest her husband should be
unnerved by 1t. Her conduct towards him was
ever OF piece with this one episode. She was not
favorite with people who were opposed to her
husband or who ventured even In jest TO question
his merits; for she had quick tongue and made
no hesitation about using IL. But to her husbands
supporters she was grace ITSELF though there was
always In her a1ability certain tone OF conde-
scenson which implied that, In following her hus.
bands lead, conservatives were doing no more
than was natural and clearly suited to their best
interests Mrs. Dsraeli's belief In her husband
was, in truth, the most touching OF womanly idola-
tries and 1t should not be forgotten that Mr.. Dis
raeu rcquited her devetedness with an Affection
both chivarous and sincere. When, on leaving
omce in 1865, he accepted for his wife the title OF
viscountess Beaconsdcld he intended 10 marx
how much the honors OF his public life were due to
her cooperation, and the liberal papers who spoke
uncourteously OF this act would have shown o
better taste by generously acquiescing In II.

Belgrave square, though its mansions
are tenanted by the old nobility and
gentry, is comparatively new. 1t is,
however, the most gorgeous if It be the
youngest of London squares. The cen.
trail space is large, the grounds we'll

posed, and the shrlbbery of smooth
ieaved evergreens. so common in Eng.
land, and very beautiful, 1t is situated
between town and country, hyde Park
lying behind it, ST. James Park between
it and the city, and the great thorough
fares in the vicinity being more like
roads than streets. The massive, pro-
truding porches of the houses. the effect
of which is heavy, are made into hang
ing gardens, from which, even in winter,
breezes come down redolent Of hun
dred varieties Of flowers. But the whole
place is stiff and dull. Let us leave It.

Contrary 10 indications yesterday,
there was white frost last night, gen.
orally reported to be heavier than the
6rst one. Thisis gratifying aud eneour'
aeins. although not as yet conclusive
proof that the fever will begin to abale.
The disease has been here so long aud
the atmosphere is so thoroughly inn
pregnAted with the malaria that perhaps
several heavy frosts and little freeze
will be required 10 eradicate the seourge.
] Possibly other irosts will follow. The
morning dispatches bring news OF a
slight snow at Pottsville, Penn, and a
a snow Of eight inches depth is
reported in the northern part OF New
York State. II this be true the cool
ing effect will be ielt throughout
the country, and the little polar wave
which may reach US will give new hope
Il is earlier than usual for heavy irosts,
aud VIC had not expected permanent
change of weather much before the LIST
of November. This idea was advanced
week or ten days ago, in connection
with a suggestion about absentees
keeping away, But almost any change
would be for the better. Old citizens
remember that in 1855 light snow fell
here early in October, after that the
weather turned warm aud sultry, and
yellow fever broke out with great viru'
lence and prevailed in most fatal form
some time. In 1867, when the fever
was so much lighter than this year
the disease fingered until late in
November, after several distinct frosts.
The thermometer at the Signal Office
stood last night and this morning as
follows: u midnight, 46l0; am, 46';;
2 an, Az; 4a.m., 430; $50 am, 430;;
$3.50 IN. ,460; 7:SOa.m. ,4S0; s:3Oam.5l0.
We can only hope for the best, but it is
our duty to get at the situation as near
as possible. In the year 1867 we find
from the LEDGER files that yellow fever
was not declared to be in the city by a
board Of health until the 18th Of Octo'
Der, although its presence was generally
known some weeks previous. As late
rs the 10th of November there were l6
deaths reported for the week ending that
day, and few cases were reported sew
eral days later. The Board of Health
ceased to report on the I'd of Novem-
Der, but the undertakers' books show
yellow fever deaths later. After care
Iully going over all the data within our
reach, we come to the conclusion that
lwo hundred people, possibly a few
more. died of the disease in 1867.
