When Gen. Dix sent that laconic dispatch to
New Orleans about hauling down the American
nag he struck patriotic chord and m ade him
self famous, and when later as Governor of
New York he refused TO pardon or commute
Foster, the car-hook assassin, he won the
respect Of all law abiding and right thinking
people. He has still another chance to add to
his reputation for Rom an nrmness By declining
to pardon young walxorth, the slayer Of his
father. Ii Is reported that some Of the most
prominent citizens OF New Yorkhsve signed Q
peuuon Tor his pardon, and that Governor Dix
mas written 70 Judge Davis, asking him to
transmit tn him a COPY of All the text;uonv
letters, and records In thc case In order that be
may act intelligently in the matter.

Judge Groesoeek, who has been spoken of as
the democratic candidate for governor of Ohio,
reiterates his declinstiOn of the nomination in
advance, and, in letter printed in one of the
New York papers, gives the democracy some
advice as to their action in future. He believes
the historical democratic organization is spoiled;
that it surrendered finally at the last Presiden-
tial election, and that it has no longer any
strength for victory. These are truths which
may not be very pslatable TO the Bourbons who
lean towards the BACK track, bat they may be
forced TO recognize them before the time for
another Presidential election rolls around.
Judge Groesbeck proceeds to say that nothing
short OF actual war can undo negro suffrage.
and that the new democratic Organization.
which shall be composed of democrats and dis
satisfied republicans, must accept the results of
the late war.

Ehe Sandwich Islands.

The king Of these islands
has lately died, and trouble
is apprehended in getting him
a successor. These islands lie
between the United States and
Australia, somewhat nearer to
our country They have an
area Of some ten thousand
square miles of very fertile
land, and lying in a region Of
perpetual summer. The alb
original inhabitants are fast
disappearing, and Il large
white population of Ameri-
cans is taking their place. A
public opinion has been grow
ing up in our country for sew
eral years, favOring the annex
alton Of those islands and now
a good opportunity is offered
to do so. England sees this
tendency Of things, and, con-
sequently, grumbles. To get
even with us, she proposes to
annex the FIJI islands to Aus
tralia-the which we would
not oppose at all.

Do CLIMATES CHANGE?-Oid
people complain that the sea-

more rainy than when they

SHOWS in winter, showers in
April, and trees have leaves in
the spring.
Atmospheric alteration is
certainly going on from age to
age, more strongly evident in
some parts of a country than
others.
Here are Illustrations: Two
Thousand years ago the climate
of hafy was colder than now.
The Loire and Rhome, in an
Cont Gaul, used to freeze over
annually. Ivenal says the
Tiher froZe so firmly in his
day the ice had to be cut to get
at the water. Horace indicates
the presence of ice and snow in
the streets of Rome, and Ovid
asserts the Black Sea fFoze
over every year.
So extreme was the cohl at
this far off period in history. it
stands chroniCledt by the an
clients that in Gaui,. Germany,
I Pannonia, and Thrace snow
positively covered the ground
SO long as to prevent the cult
vation of olives, grapes, and
other fruits which are raised
there at the present time in
abundance. Ice or SHOW to
any considerable amount would
now be Il PHENOMENON in Italy.
