admirable foresight, each room admits the
sunlight. The views from the windows are
beautiful. The rooms are furnished at option
| by the board of managers or the occupant. A
peep into them afforded gratifying proof OF
woman's taste and faculty for making home
anywnere; here plano, there a sewing ma
chine, told the calling of the occupant. In
every room were pictures, vases, Towering
plants tastefully arranged, and little souvenirs
OF the other home far away. Throughout the
whole house were warmth and brightness
entirely at variance with the common order
Of boardng.houses. Entrance as boarder is
obtained by an application 10 member Of the
board, and the usual reference as 10 character.

taking of which these details are given, In Or
der that they may serve as guide to others

The point, however, Is this: This house,
which has cost the continued and persevering
effort of q number of women for two years,
which still has large part OF Its purchase
money on mortgage, which will require the
labor and supervision of the managers for
years to come, together with supplies at regu-
lar intervals from the hands OF the benevo-

by ommssioners-clty, State or natIonal-on

should have dozen euch "homes,n capable
OF holding four or five times the number, and

the routine OF the "institution" would be
counterbalanced by the advantages OF order,

cheap public balls and the pit or gallery OF

POLAI WAVES EXPLAINED.

The Nation gives an explanation OF what ts
known as the November Atmospheric Wave, +"
or the sudden annual change which we call the
G.cold snap" The chan ,e itself is the transfer
Of cold descending air from the oceans to the
con iineDts; it's cause ls the change In tho posi-
ton Of the greatest relative heat. The sud
denness Of the change ia explained as follows:
Descending air is constantly increasing in
capacity for moisture, which causes steady
disappearance Of the clouds, renders haze i'm
possible, and thus uncovers the surface to un-
restrained radiation toto space and night, apd
the reverse is true OF ascending air. The proxl-
mate cause of every sudden fall oftemperature
is said 10 be the advent OF q group OF spots
upon the suns disc. Tho direction, OF this
atmospheric wave" is explained as follows:
The cause OF the eastward motion OF these
semi-annual phenomena. as OF all other ele-
ments Of weather in the temperate zones, and
of the westward movement within the tropics,
will bs clear only to those WhO understand why
the water opposite our moon masses itself Into
o tide. Just as this water ID lett behind by the
more rapid movement Of the solid part OF the
earth toward tho moon because the solid part,
averaged at the centre, is nearer the moon, 80
the air above the torrid zone is left behind by
the more rapid westerly motion OF the solid
earth beneath it, and thus always appee-B to be
itself moving from the east (trade wlnd.) For
the atmosphere rotates (by force which ls
known but need not here be stately lndepend-
emily OF the earth, and Independently one por-
tion of another; while the earth must move al.
together, and thus the surface OF the torrid
gone moves faster and the temperate zones
slower than either would move II liquid or in
dependent Of its neighbors. The average
velocity Of rotation is near latitude 80, where
air and earth move at equal pace. North or
this latitude we may regard our prevailing
westerly winds as (appronmately) illustrating
a more natural rate Of rotation, while We are
retarded by being 30 near the a1is-approx-
matey merely, for the enormously superior
friction Of solid over gas. compes tho atmos-
phere to conform almost entirely to the velocity
Of the surface. All extensive atmospheric
phenomena then, must il the temperate zones
move from west to east (unless propagated
backward, as frequently happens, but but not IN IN
relation to this topic) along with the air IN
which thew are involved. Hence movement
from an ocean 10 continent will always be
directed toward the continent next east OF the
ocean. Other causes conspire with the, ore
above stated, but this is the most comprehen-
siYe cause.

BACKS COURSE As IN OUTRAGE

Tho Courts at Last TO Settle the Trouble.
WASHINGTON, January Z.
In conversation to-day the President declar-
ed his purpose In recognizing the Plnchback
government was to enable parties to make up
case for the courts. He did not regard 1t as
material which party he recognized; 1t was
necessary to recognize one or the other, and
the military were ordered to preserve the
peace. Pnchbacks proclamation ordering
citizens not to assemble, the President regards
as an outrage on the constitution, and puts
the PlBchback party in the wrong. The
President has now no fear of any disturbance
of tbe peace, end says the whole difficulty will
soon be settled by the proper legal tribunal.
NEW ORLEANS, January Z.

TIE GREAT FIRE At THE HUB.

BOSTON, january.
Nearly all the cities In Massachusetts, yestsr-
day lpaugnrated their municipal governments
for 1878. Gayor Pierce, OF Boston. in his mes
sage, gives the following statistics of the
great fire: Considering the email extent OF
territory covered, abont seventy.lve acres,
aud the short time the fire had been burning,
the amount OF property destroyed was unpar-
rallelled. The whole number OF buildings
destroyed, exclusive of those slightly damaged,
was 776, OF which 709 were brick and stone,
and 81 wood.
The assessed valuation OF these buildings
amounts to $l3,59l.0O0, and 1t Is estimated
that to replace them 1t would cost at least
eighteen million dollars. The value Of per-
sonsl property destroyed was about sixty MIL
lion dollars. Only fourteen persons are known
to have lost their lives, and of this number
seven were firemen. The debt OF Boston has
Increased duribg the year tour million three
hundred and fIty-one thousand dollars, and

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEws.l
COLUMBIA, Tuesday, January Z.
In the Supreme Court this morning the
counsel for the petitioners in the mandamus
case presented their reply to the return made
yesterday by the respondent. The reply Is
long and elaborate, combating each point Of
the return at some length, except the question
OF the constitutiolsllly of the Blue Ridge scrip
and the scrip act. These points are not dis.
cussed, the reply thereto beirg simply de-
NAL of the unconstitutionality. The argument
was not entered upon today, however, and
both the mandamus case and the appeal from
the Injunction order by Judge Melton were
postponed till 10 A. NJ. tomorrow. The
court then adjourned. 1t is hardly probable
that either case Will come fairly up for ar
gument even tomorrow, that being the day
assigned for the cases from the Eighth Cir

There was no quorum of either house OF the
