have had some warm, pleasant days,
and for week past no snow has been
visible Upon the whole, the winter has
been cold and disagreeable. Old set
tiers declare ungratefully that Toledo
has known no such cold, severe winter
weather for forty years. For some un-
accountable reason the quantity of snow
has increased for several seasons past,
and the climate is said to be growing
insist that the removing of forest trees
has much to do with the amount of rain
which falls, and able articles defending
this belief have been written. But in
yestigation hardly bears out this theory,
since observations made in different
parts of the world, and running over a
series of years, show that, while for GER
tain reasons the amoant which falls
during single year may be less than
usual, the mean amount has suffered no
diminution

.fe WHAT A Boy KNOWS ABOUT GIRLS.
Girls are the most unaccountable things
in the world-except woman. Like the
wicked flea, when you have them they

improper fractions, and the teacher says
Il do it first rate, but can't cipher out q
girl, proper or improper, aud you can t
either. The only rule in arithmetic that
hits their case is the double rule OF two.
They are as full of Old Nick as their SKIN
can hold. and they would die if they
couldn't torment somebody. When they
try to be mean they are as mean as pus-
lev, though they amt as mean as they let
on, except sometimes, and then they are
good deal meaner. The only way TO

wild oats in day than boy can sow
in year, but girls get their wild oats
sowed after while, which boys never
do, and then they settle down as calm
and placid as a mudpuddle. But like
girls first rate, and guess the boys all

play on me-and they don't care either.
The hoitytoityist girls in the world can
always boil over like glass of soda.
By and by they will get into the traces

steady as any old stage. horse. That is
the beauty of them. So let them wave,

SoLICITUDE UNNECESSARY The fol-
lowing anecdote is told of DIR. Cell, the
bishop of Madras, India: His lordship
had left a mission station, and was rap
idly proceeding in the early morning to-
wards another one, when a native Chris
tian was observed to be running full
speed after the bishops cavalcade, hol-
looing and shouting out at the top of his
voice in a most excited manner for the
bishop to stop. DR.. Cell drew up, and
inquired what all this noise was about.
"You have lost letter-perhaps very
important one, and | am bringing it,
called out the man as he rapidly APP
proached-"I have been running hard to
catch you up" ''Dear mel" exclaim-
ed the mildest of prelates, 81 must
thank you, my good man, very much
for your trouble. Pray give it to me. "

DRow3ED IN THEIR BERTHs-''CHEER UP,
BOATS ARE CoMING'-THE CAPTAINS
OFFER-THE WORK OF RESCUE.
New YORK, April 3.
Narrowing details of the awful scenes
attending the loss of the steamship At
lanntic continue to be received. All the
women who were asleep at the time the
ship struck were drowned in their berths.
the heavy seas which constantly poured
over the vessel and filed her, preventing
them from reaching the deck. While
the passengers were clinging to the rig
ging and the side of the vessel man on
shore wrote on blackboard, "cheer up,
boats are coming to your assistance, :"
and the announcement was responded to
by hearty cheers from the ship. After
a half hour of awful suspense men were
seen on the island carrying a boat over
the rocks, and soon it was launched and
took off three boat loads from the out
lying wreck. While rescuing these men
Captain Williams and passengers called
loudly to the crew of the boat to come
to the ship and take them off first, as
they were in most immiaent danger, the
Captain saying, Il will give five hun
dred dollars for every boat load rescued. )"
The boat afterwards made for the YES
sci and tooks off two boat loads. Half
an hour later another boat came and res
cued many of those clinging to the rig
ging. Third officer, Brady, who suc-
ceeded in reaching the shore over the
line landed from the shore by himself,
organized the crew, and materially aided
in the work of rescue.
RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS ANXIETY
FELT EVERYWHERE.
Subscriptions will commence here and
elsewhere for the sufferers by the disas-
ter The steerage passengers saved had
many of them all their earthly goods on
board, which being lost, they are left in
wholly destitute condition. People
continue to-day to flock around the bull
letin boards, anxious to obtain further
details of the calamity. The suspense
of many in this city has been relieved
by cable dispatches, announcing that
friends who were thought to be on the
Atlantic did not take passage in her. 1t
| is generally remarked that steamers
| bearing the name Atlantic are ill-fated.
A continuous stream of persons are pass
ing in and out of the White Star Line
office, anxiously seeking information re-
garding friends who were on board, or
feared to have been on board the At

LorTA IN THE "LTTTLE DETEtTIvE" AT THE
GRAND OPERA ROUSE.

The announcement that Lotla would appear
at the Grand ODera House, laGe evening drew
together q large audience to witness the per-
formance, and the house was crowded
in every part. The play. was The Little Dt- ",
teetive,'' which, with the exception Of the
flashes OF comedy which are occasionally In
trOduced, is about as dry and pninterestllg
drama, as was ever put upon the stage. Inc
company, however, made the best OF 1t, aud
presented It in q tOlerably fair manner. Par-
ticular mention may be madh OF MT. n, n.
Locke, as LUdOUSc SfuOesdnt German swind-
ler, who kept the audience In constant roar
of laughter, by his excellent acting, MI
Locke, Is certainly one OF the finest comedians
ever seen upon the stage at the Grand Opera
House. He was ably assisted by Mr.: w.
MOreland, as PhOcbus Rockd1odH, the rOlllck-
ing companion of the thieving LUdoOSc. With
regard to LOttas acting, the least said the
better, but 1t certainly fell far below the STAN
dard to which she has been elevated BY the
press and public comment. She may have
been indisposed, or she may NOT have deemed
it necessary to put her best foot FORWARD,
before Wilmington audience Ii the latter
reason be true, Miss LOtta now knows that
Wilmington audiences are at last apprecia-
tive and discerning, as was shown Dy the
limited applause accorded her, and the Taptur-
Gus greeting extended the humorous ard
mirth provoking LudOOic, on MS every appear
ance. The audience generally, was dlsap-
pointed in her, and she came UP to the expec-
tatOns Of only few, who witnessed her
last evening, for the first time.
