TIE suffering of the present cold
season may not be without compensa-
tiOn. Experienced observers say that a
severe winter is most always followed
by a favorable spring and summer,
during which the crops experience sin
gular immunity from insects. The wise
acres are, therefore, on the lookout for
a prOdigiOus yield of cereals next year.
THERE are no new developments in
the railroad war except the following
reduction by the Baltimore and Ohio

S2G25; t1 Nashville, from S27.45 to

tives to the Legislature at the last election,
thought that certainly this time they had sent
men who would maintain the peoples long
crusade against the usurper, but it seems for
reasons best known to the members who
voted in the affirmative on the question, the
majority concluded to accept the usurpation
and put out flag Of truce.
The representatives of the BULLETIN circu-
lated amongst people of every class this
morning for the purpose Of ascertaining the
state of feeling over the compromise. if it
can be called such, and without single ex-
ception those conversed with were loud in
their denunciation of the whole affair.
From the humble yet intelligent laborer to
the weathiest banker. every man of them,
not simply combining himself to condemna-
ton of the course, openly advanced his firm
not to abide by the action of
the caucus.
We have never known so strong feeling
IN any question as that everywhere exhibited
and We are satisfied the true
people will not accept the protfered treaty.

We agree with reviewer of Mime. de Staels
work on saicide, in the Edinburgh Rssieu,
when he says, 1T is impossible not to concur
with Nine. de Stael in rejecting that very vul-
gar commonplace which represents suicide to
be proof Of cowardice. To suffer we'll is a
proof of patience, of fortitude, or of frmness.
but boldly to seek the meazs of deliveraace
from suffering is the office of courage. 1t is a
distortion of words from their natural sense
to call that man a coward who has completely
conquered the fear of death"
There is IN many cases no cowardce in SUI
eide, but suicide must always indicate want
of faith, patience and self-reliance. and the
man who lacks these qualities is but halfa
man, albeit he be courageous.

GOOD NEWS.
The Caucus RecOnSiders Its Act.

From our Evening Edition Of Yesterday
AS we 60 to press we learn that the Con
sentative caucus has reconsidered its hasty
action OF last evening, and will main tain its
organization intact
The disposition Of both the friends and
opponents of the measure is, we learn, not
to take action except after the most mature
and deliberate consideration.
This, we conclude, kills the matter, and we
regard the reconsideration as indicating that
the members have not been influenced bv
anything except an over-anxiety for speedy
solution Of our present difficulties.
We feel confident that the popular EXPIRE j.
sion against the proposed compromise will
effectually prevent any serions consideration
of it, or anything like it. hereafter

TEIgIBLE FRIGHT OF A MEDICAL. STUDENT
A Paris medical student has just died insane,
having become SO in consequence of an event
that happened in the dissecting room. His
subject had been placed in a sitting posture
while frozen, and its right arm was kept
above its head against gravity by the icy con-
dition of the tissues, and as he worked, lost
in his labor. this arm came down and the
hand struck the student on the cheek. Ii
was clear, upon investigation, that the hot
fire made for the student had thawed the tbs.

was too deep to be removed by rational ex-

Dramatic scene at the reading of will
A rich dame who recently died at an adj
vanced age at Fontainebleau, left will con-
tanning, among others, a bequest to her phys
ician of all tho objects contained in an olden
oak chest OF her cabinet de toilette, for "his en-
lightened care and the sage instructions 4"
which had enabled her to live to such an adj
vanced age. There was great commotion
among the heirs when this clause in the will
was read, and greater curiosity to know what
treasures had escaped them. The notary
handed the key to the doctor, who on OPEN
ing the chest found all the drugs and potions
that he had ordered for his patient during the
past twenty years

LEANS.

From our Evening Edition of Yesterday
We call upon you to meet with us this
evening, at y o'clock, on Canal street, at
the Clay Statue.
We desire to hear from your own lips
whether those men represent you truly, whose
action last night in legislative caucus we
deem betrayal of your rights and liberties,
and an ignominious surrender of the cause,
not only OF Louisiana, but Of American lib
erty.
We desire to know from you, the people of
Louisiana, whether you are willing to see the
results of your heroic struggle for liberty,
which has challenged the admiration Of the
world, bartered away for nought
Come tonight at q o'clock, prepared to
answer for yourselves.

ANNUAL MEETING OF STugKHoLDER
OF THE NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF THE NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON
STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
The stockholders Of the Washington, George
town, Alexandria and New York Steamship
Company held their annual meeting, yesterday
at noon, in the directors room Of the National
Metropolitan Bank; Mr.. J. W. Thompson, presi-
dent in the chair. He presented his annual re-
port, In which he congratulated the stockholders
on the continued prosperity Ct their enterprise,
and remarked that In no previous year have the
returns been more remunerattve except in 1870
when a third ship was temporarily employed
This success he attributes in part the moderate
Temperature last winter, which enabled the ships
to continue their voyages without intermissi0n
ular business, less expense was incurred and
larger profits realized, notwithstanding the de-
preston OF trade consequent upon the financial
revolution Of 1873, and some further attachments
made on some qualities Of freight in order TO
afford the greatest possible accommodation to
District merchants.
The report presents in detail the receipts and
expenditures during the year, which show that
the earnings were sufficient to authorize the
usual dividend, without prejudice TO the surplus
fund held by the company, and which the presi-
dent deems II advisable TO increase in order to
prevent delay in repairing disasters, If any
should occur, and for renOYAting the ships or
their machinery, as occasion may require, as we'll
as to meet any other emergency that may hap
pen in the prosecution OF the business Of the COM
pany. The report was ordered to be fled.
Mr.. VIM. SuckDey, from the committee on &C
counts, submitted q report connrmatory Of the
statements contained in the report Of the presi-
dent, and stating on examination Of the books
and accounts Of the company the committee had
found them correctly and satisfactorily kept
This report was ordered to be placed on file,
and the same committee, consisting of Messrs
Stekney, Phillips and Herr, continued for the
ensuing year. The meeting then adjourned.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY
SCHOOL
A very interesting entertainment, consisting Of
singing. Rotations and magiclantern exhibition,
vas held At the Second Baptist church, Navy
Yard, on Thursday evening, Il being the Christ
mas festival Of the Sabbath school connected with
the church. The church was filled with the rela-
tiYes OF the children and the friends of the school,
many persons not being able to find seats, but ali
were made to feel at home by the courteous man.
ner Of the superintendent and the Ofaeers OF the
school,
The singing was under the supervision Of Prof
Messer, and special mention should be made of
the singing Of the Misses Mbllie Sinclair, Maggie
Mud and the Misses PetTOla; also, Of the reeita-
items OF Miss Carrie Smith and L. Hilderbrhnd.
The chant Of the Lords prayer by the infant class
was very fine, and was rendered with great ef-
feet showing the talent the little ones are gifted
with. Tie recitations Of Masters Eddie, 1nger-
soil, Sinclair, Otterback and others were very
we'll DONE and showed that they had studied
their parts and had confidence IN themselves,
which Is very commenda BILE in boys Of their age.
Last, but not least, was Mr.. b. p. Murray, with
his magic lantern exhibition who not only pleased
the children with his fine views, but the old
folks, too, judging by the applause Of the au-
dience.
This concluded the entertainment, and the
children went to their homes very much pleased
with the exercises. This school Is the second
oldest Sunday Baptist school IN the city, and
great credit Is due the efheient superintendent,
Mr.. Geo. +. Guliek, for the hourfshing condL
tion and good discipline that prevails in the school,
