Mild Winters.

The mildness af the present season.
though unusual, bears no comparison
to that of some winters "long gone
by" In 1l72 the temperature was so
high that leaves came on the trees
in January and birds Matched their
broods in February In 1889 the
winter was equally mild. and the
maidsns of Cologus wore wreaths of
violets at Christmas and on 1--WE fifth
Day In 1921 the trees lowered in
the month of March. and the vines
in the month of April Cherries alp
enend in the same month, and grapes
appeared in May. In 1872 the trees
were covered with leaves in January,
and the birds Matched thsir young in
February, as in 1l72 in 1855 the
same thing was repeated, and it is add
ed that the corn was in the ear at
Easter. There was in London neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters
of hS58 1907, 1890 and 1917, finally
in 1862, even in the north of Germany
the stoves were not Lighted land the trees
Toured in February. Coming to lat
er dates, the winter of ls46-47,
when it thundered at Paris on the %,
of January, and that of 1866, the yrar
Of the great inundation of the Seine,
may be mentioned as exceptionally
mild.

route to the Union depot. to be ship.
ped to Chicago. Each load 60 obtained
thirty kegs, making total of 1870
AS each key holds seven gallons, ii
would give total of 1890 gallons
and as there are fifteen glasses in gal
lon. there were, in the six loads 49,
900 glasses of beer. At 5 cents per
glass, $945 would be the sum received
for six sleigh loads Of beer when sold
to Chicago bummers.
Although we do not set ourselves up
As authority on this point, still we
presume it fair to say that 10 glasses Of
beer will make an ordinary imbiber
drunk, and secure his arrest His
fine will amount under such eircum
stances, to SIS and costs-say Sc con-
sequsntly as ] 800 can get drunk on
those six loads of beer, the aggregate
amount Of fines would be $l1 $40.
this amount would set up several little

Public Debt and Specie Payments.

There is no royal road to the ex-
tinguishment of the public debt, and
no royal road to the resumption of
specie payments. The extinguishmsnt
of the public debt must be through
the channal of taxation and the way
to the resumption of specie payments
is to provide by law for the prompt
convertibilty of the notes into specie,
or into some form of specie equivalent.
If Government finds itself unable to
give gold for greenbacks in conse-
quence of not having now or at any
time suficiency of gold in the Treas
ury, it should do the next best thing,
lit should give specie interest bonds
isay 5 per cent. bouds) 10 exchange for
greenbacks at par. Government should
also get as early as possible and keep
in the Treasury gold reserve equal to
one. quarter or one third of all the
greenbacks and national currancy
outstanding when this is accomp-
lished it may safely .edeem greenbacks
with gold and decline the alternative
of giving therefor the exchange specie
bearing bonds. It would be we'll that
the greenbecks thus received in ex-
change for bonds should not be again
issued. except in re-exchange at par
for the specie-bearing bonds so that
the principle of the public debt need
not thereby be disturbed, either by be-
ing, increased or decreased. 80 ,@e'
