BosToN, Jan. 9. 1878.
The January thaw set in in good earn
est on Sunday. In the early morning
the weather was quite cold, but kept
moderating until noon, when northeast
rainstorm set in carrying off a great deal
of the snow and making the walking
shockingly bad, and greatly impeding
locomotiOn of all kinds. In the evening
most Of the streets were deserted save
by an occasional horse-car, that was
nearly fioated through the street Mon
day was warm, and more of the snow
went, but since then the weather has
been moderately cold; cold enough to
freeze up the slush and make fine sleigh
ing out of town, but very bad getting
about either on wheels or runners in the

FINE EEGRAyINGs.-W were shown
recently two very fine engravings. Sub
iect ancient and modern Jerusalem.
They are engraved on steel, India ink
proof impressions. Copied from Selon's
celebrated paintings. They are splendid
paintings. Size 44XS6 inches. One
shows "Jerusalem in her Grandeur, A.
d. 80. with Christ's Triumphal entry
into the Holy City" the other .'Jerusa-
lem in her fall, as now viewed from the
Mount of Olives" These engrayings
are purchased at an expense of about
sixty dollars, we believe, for the Young
Mems Bible Glass of the Rutland Bap-
fist society, and are to be placed in
their rooms in that church. Rev. E.
Mills and others by his request will soon
deliver a scres Of lectures on the sub
jects suggested Ivy these fine pictures.
They will bc delivered under the aus
pieces Of the above named young men $

ITALIAN TAXES. The last report OF
the Italian income tax gives some state
ments which would be surprising were
it not for the fact that an income tax
report is not the place where trust
worthy statistics may be sought with
perfect confidence Of all the lawyers
in Italy there are but 1887 who possess
a taxable income of over $500, and in five
provinces there is not one whose income
reaches that sum; there are only seven
ty-nine doctors who make more by the
pNctice of their profession than $400 q
year, and architects, engineers, survey
ors, merchants, and others, are in SIM
liar state of poverty, while of the 1885,
$50 cafes, wine shops, etc, only five
hundred and twenty are admitted by
their proprietors to return more than
$400 a year clear income.

withdraws so many young men from the
family relation, is in part responsible.
But the same cause does not seem to
produce so serious consequences in Ger
MANY and the other European States
where similar military policy is pur-
sueuL During the Franco-Prussian war
smallpox was more fatal to the French
armies than German bayonets. The re-
duced number of marriages within the
last two years results undoubtedly from
the widespread poverty which followed
the war. One of the most serious prob
lens before both the German and French
governments, is the maintenance Of
their populations. Germany seeks the
drain of emigration, France to promote
marriages.

A TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS. Will
the reflex movement of the undulations
overwhelm any other place, but the one
so graphically described by the Wash
ington County Post, unless ''the elo-
ouence of Beecher" interyenes. Just
hear it. The theory of undulations IS
the generally accepted explanation OF
the mode of the working of the great
physical forces of the universe and by
some neutrality-suspicious. has been carried
into the domains of the mind. That this
law holds good also in the moral world
is the sole refuge from despair of those
who believe that Notwithstanding the
swaving tOand fro of the carOf progress,
we are on the road to ultimate perfecta-
bility. A year since it could be written
that not a saloon could be found in our
place; now on the street leading a
mile south from the bridge, the bright
lights of several, lures the unwary to
what we do not know. We do not be-
lieve that ardent spirits can be found in
all, yet we see enough to believe that we
are on the reflex movement Of wave
that will require all the cloquence of a
another Beecher to stem before it shall
cngulph the manhood and morals Of our
most promising young men"

THE NEW CITY GOVERN MEM

On Monday Mayor Pierce was inaugu-
rated, and deliveredan inaugural address
that pleases almost every one; being a
straightforward business-like document
He referred of course to the fire and adj
yocated the laying out of wide arenas in
the burnt district in place of the narrow
streets that have proved such a curse to
our city. The police force he thinks
should be increased, as we have probably
the smallest force of any city in the
world of equal size. He complimented
the fire department for their labor in
quelling the great confiagration, but
thinks justly that the department should
be largely increased, and should have
more power 0nNr hos been granted to it.
Regarding the smallpox, he saia mat ba
should at an early opportunity nominate
the best men that could be found for q
Board of Health and should himself do
all in his power to prevent the spread Of
this scourge.
Among the large audience present at
the Inauguration were ox-Mayors Gas
ton, Shurtleff, Norcross, Wightman,
Rice and Quincy.
The new government is composed of
some of our best citizens, and there is
but little doubt but that they will act
wisely and for the best interests of the
city in their deliberations.

MISCELLANEOUS

The conviction of Stokes took every
body by surprise. Although nobody for
an instant doubted that he was guilty.
still New York courts are so pecuEa7
that it was generally conceded either a
disagreement or a verdict of justitiable
homicide would be brought in. 1t is to
be hoped that Stokes will pay the pen
atty of his crime, but Judges in New
York have such an obliging way OF
granting a 'stay of proceedings" that
after all he may escape
Charles III. Spencer, whom / have re-
ferred to in a former letter as having
been convicted of forgery, was sentenc-
to State Prison for three years.
The stories regarding the smallpox
are greatly exaggerated by out of town
papers. Although there is undoubtedly
great deal of sickness in the city, and
prompter means should be taken to Grad
icate it, still it does not seem to me that
there Is much danger to persons visiting
Boston, and should not advise anv one

The Brighton road" has been thronp-
ed every pleasant day for the nast two
weeks with persons enjoying tbe fine

ever, that fewer fine turnouts are snen
there than for many years. Since the
fire every one has felt poor, so that less
money is spent this year than has been
the case for some time.

ApD1sov RAILROAD. The FIRE. Press

ADDIsox RAILROAD. The Ffte Press
says:
1--WE learn that the Addison railroad
is not included among the roads tor the
sale of which negotiations have been gong
on between the Vermont Central ana
the Delaware & Hudson Canal Com
pany."
VIII the Free Press inform US what
the Vermont Central railroad company,
or the managers thereof, have to do with
the saleof the Addison railroad? If the
Delaware & Hudson canal company
should undertake to buy the Addison
railroad, we take it that the Central
could not prevent it. The Addison rail
road is owned by it's stockholders, and
they alone can sell their individual stock
and no other. IF the stock, or con-
trolling interest therein, should be pur-
chased by the Delaware 81 Hudson
canal company, than they would own
it not otherwise. The next thing would
be to get control of the lease, which
would require, not the action of the Yer
mont Central, but the action of the man
ayers of the Vermont 81 Canada and the
Vermont Central and the permission OF
the Court of Chanccry.

Paying Cotton Claims.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Treasury
Department has commenced issuing the
cotton claims filed under the act of May
18th, 1872. Over 1,200 claims have been
presented, covering over $1,000, 900. More
than half of them will be rejected on ac-
count of insufficient proof. There now
remain in the Treasury $15,OOO,O 600 of the
cotton fund. The claims being paid are
for cotton seized by Government agents
after the sOth of June, 1865. The act OF
May 18th, 1872, provided that all these
claims should be filed within six months,
and, therefore, expired on the 18th Of No
vember last. Quite large number ol
ciai ms have been filed since the expiration
OF the law, and they must be thrown out,

| WASHINGTON, March 9.-It is SUP.
posed the debate on the Caldwell case will
continue two or three days, as four or five
Senators are p epared to make speeches
The debate will be under the mana cement
OF Senator Morton, c airman of the com.
mttee on privileges and elect ons. This is
different from any other case of disputed
election ever considered or determined by
either house of Congress. There are no
precedents in American parliamentary law
IN relation to buying out an opposing cam
didate and his followers to secure an cleo.
