Lectures.

Gov. Curtin is lecturing on Russia
a fertile and interesting theme. He
spoke in Lock Haven few days ago.
Anna Dickinson, on Labor Reform,
speaking for some of those whose labOrs
cannot be comprised in the limits of
eight hours a day.
Bret Harte, on The Argonauts of
'49''; that early California madness that
was worse than war.
But the most interesting lectures of
which we receive any accounts are those
of Prof. Tyndall on Light. The Won
derful discoveries that have been made
within the last few years almost make
one feel that we had not known what
light was. 1t is we'll that we can use
things without knowing much about
them, that the sun, and moon. and stars
answered all the purposes of illumina-
tion before we understood how far off
they were. what their motions, or what
the nature of the emanationW I'VE call light
But stay! it is no longer an emanatiOn
but form of notion" The illustra
tionS and experiments make the lecture
plain, it is said, to all.

Weather.

The excessive cold of the last ten
DAYS seems to have been very general
over this continent, while storms and
floods are desolating many parts of
Europe.
We have in the same paper, accounts
Of hundreds of people, drowned by the
overlooking waters, and their property,
their homes, even the earth of their fields
swept away, as though no precautiOn or
effort was of any avail and of accident
and loss of life in various parts of the
country here, owing to the intense cold.
One woman was killed in her kitchen in
Harrisburg, while preparing breakfast,
10y the explosion of the water back Of the
range. The water pipes were frozen
during the night, and the range got very
hot before any water flowed in, 50 that
when it did come, the iron flew all tC
! pieces.
Judging by the reports of low tempera
ture and falls of snow in various parts
Of the country, it would seem that Om
high region has been quite as easy {
place to live in as any. The thermome
ter went as low in Lawrence, Kansas
as III Coudersport, and in most place:
in OF near our own latitude it was
lower.
So we could not have the satisfaction
of thinking people were comfortable
elsewhere, if we were cold and we feal
that few, if any, were better supplied
with the means of keeping warm THAI
we.

The Democratic Conversion.

Senator Sumner, and other Old-time
Republicans asked the colored men and
their friends to support the Democratic
candidate for President III the last cam
paign, on the ground that the Demo
Gratis had abandoned their opposition to
equal rights, and were converted to the
Christian view of this great question
that God made of one blood all the ma
tions of the earth, and gave to each hu-
man being precisely the same vilrights.
AS the Democrats themselves made
no such pretenSiOnS, we could not un-
derstand how sensible Republicans could
make it for them. But the Tribune
begged and plead with its old readers to
accept as fact the conversion of the
Democrats, and to vote for their candi-
dates from President down to County
Auditor OH that ground.
Every vote given i'll Congress, and in
the State Legislatures, when the rights
of the cOlored man were concerned, fiat
ly cOntradicted this assumption the
whole history of the Democratic party
contradicts it; still the people were ask
ed to believe that willingness to vote
for Horace Greeley was evidence Ofsound
conversion.
In view Of their past course and pres
ent temper, this willingness seemed to
us only an evidence Of desire to de-
feat the Republican party on any terms.
The vote of all but six Of the Demo-
cratic members of the Constitutional
Convention to dispense with our assist
ant ergeant-at-aIms-tO prevent a col
ored man from being elected to that
pOsition-clearly shows there was no
conversion.
The same thing was shown in Congress
a few days ago by a vote thus explained
by the Washington correspondent of
the n. Y. Ldependent under date of
| Dec. "A:
The House yesterday did not hesitate
| to make use of the doctrine of equal
rights to tide off a bill to reimburse Will
liam and Mary College for the alleged
destruction of property by United States
soldiers during the war. The sum to be
given the college was $50. 600, and nearly
all the Democrats and some Republicans
favored it; but an ingenious opponent OF
the measure offered an amendment pro-
viding that the college should be open
to colored students. OF course the Re-
publican members could not resist the
logic of their principles, and the amend.
ment was agreed to; and then the amend,
ed bill lost every Democratic vote and
was rejected 10y an overwhelming ma,
jOrity.

THE handsome design for the pro-

hibition at BarrS'S bookstore. So it
seems that Lancaster County is slower
even than Potter, in building her mon

given, but if not yet commenced will it
ever be done? We would think plain
and simple monument, built at once,
would be better than splendid one lin

work as freely as when our hearts are
sOrest for its need:
"AS an evidence of reviving intereStm
the completion of the Washington Mon

fruits of recent appeal to the MaSOnS

should be credited with their patriotism,
Gibsonville Lodge, l58, S1O0; Sierra

other lodges are moving i'll the ecause, and
from the advices of the society it is be-

IT is stated that papers, letters, and
manuscripts of the historian Prescott
were destroyed by the Boston fire. Dur
ing the absence of the family having
possession of them, they had been stored
for safety in the vault of a large ware
house. Many of these manuscripts
were copies of rare works and docu--
ments relating to early Spanish and
American history. Their loss will be a
great calamity to the literary world.
