Where They Are.

The disappearance of Wm. M. Tweed directs attention to his companions who disappeared when the New York ring suits were first commenced. Awriter says: Peter B. Sweeny's lse has been of the quiet sort. When in Paris he spends most of his time at homo, and rarely-almost never-visits that part of the city frequented by Americans, the region around the Grand Hotel Very few persons call upon him, and his ac- quaintances are in very small number, as he seeks no new ones, and the old are limited to the stray New Workers who knew him in his days of power and are willing to know him now. No doubt Sweeny is willing to entertain anybody who will endure his society and pass over the scandal attached to his name. Evidently he does not wish to absent himself altogether from the world, one may judge by visiting card that was visible quite recently in the window of an engraver in the Palais Royal. It bore the name Piter B. Sweeny in neatly-en. graved letters. Whether the plan of spelling the first syllable with an "i" was the design of the ex-magnate or he blunder of the engraver I am unable to say. can hardly think it was an en- graver's blunder, as saw the card dis played there among other specimens of work for more than month. It IS not more than a week or ten days since 1t disappeared from the showcase.

A Unique Contest.

Among the many contested seats in the United States House of Representa- tives is one from New York, the de ails of which are reported from Washington as follows: At the last election a suc- cessor to Hon. A. r. Allen, member of Congress, deceased, for the Thirty third district was to be chosen. Nelson J. Norton was the Republican candidate, and Charles $. Gary the Democratic.
 The district is composed of Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties. The board of State commissioners have not yet met, and no declaration of the result has yet been made, but an examination of the county returns shows this state of facts: In Cattaraugus county Nelson J. Norton received for representative in Congress 4,961 votes; Charles s. Gary, 4.525 votes. In Chautauqua county, for representative in Congress, Charles 8. Cary received 4,614, and Flint Blanchard (Rep.). seventy-two votes. For member of Congress Nelson J. Nor ton received $, ,809 votes, and few scat tering. For the representative iii the Forty fourth Congress, Augustus N. Lowry received five votes. If the votes for the representative in Congress and for member of Congress be held to have been cas-, for the same office, MT. Nor ton received in the two counties 10. ITO votes and MT. Gary 9,139, making Mir. Norton's majority 1881. But MT. Lowry claims that his five votes were the only votes which can be legally counted because described as cast for the Forty fourth Congress, and, therefore, he has given notice of a purpose to contest MT.

What to do in Winter.

The winter comes in with appropriate ly cold weather. Now is the time to put on your thickest armor of flannel underclothing, and to see to it that the deserving poor within your knowledge have such assistance as you can give to fortify them against the indictment weather. Whatever nay be said against our winters, says the. New York Stu1, it should be remembered to their credit that our death rate is lower in winter than in summer, spite of the bitterness of the weather. In London the reverse is the case. Last winter was an uncom- monly severe season in England, and the death rate in December, January and February went up ar.a startling ratio. The last week in November, like the preceding one, was exceptionally healthy in New York. For the week ending November 27 the deaths were but 492, against 521 last year; for the week ending November 20, 475, against 548 last year. Diarrhea and acute pull monary diseases are fewer, and diph- theria, which carried off in the two weeks last year 122 persons, this year slew but ninety-two. The present death rate, of New York is lower than the average of thirty of the chief cities of Europe.
 One thing to remember good fan nels are vastly better protection against the cold than hot rum, and they cost far less. In fact, they keep you warm, while the rum units you to bear the cold. Put your warmth on the outside rather than the inside.

The Georgia Swamp. !

The expedition which is exploring the vast and hitherto almost unknown Oke- fenCkee swamp, in Georgia, has dis covered that there are no extensive lakes on the east si le of the swamp, as has hitherto been believed. Tho supposed lakes are in fact prairies covered with swamp grass, and forming in the rainy season wide sheets of water. Among these swamp prairies are elevations re- sembling islands ill sea, and covered with Q growth of trees. The soil of the islands is very rich. There are only two small lakes in the prairies, though open spaces are to be found, varying from twenty to twenty-five feet in diameter, frequently very deep, and al- ways covered with a growth of water lilies. Trey partly spent sometime in tracing the stream known as Double Branches, which is about fifty feet wide, and has a sluggish current. The stream enters the swamp at it's northern extremity, and continues its course about midway, and is evident ly the channel for the waters of Alliga- tor and Gum Swamp creeks and other streams that ran into the great morass. It is believed that the Double Branches is tributary of the Suwanee.

Don Carlos, Letter.

The following is the full text of the letter of Don Carlos to King Alfonso, few items of which have been before published The attitude of the Presi- dent of the American republic may be considered as the prelude of war if you do not recognize the independence of Cuba. The revolution which you represent is responsible for the depth of ignominy at which Spain has arrived. But for the revolution this parricidal re- bellion would never, have been born. Had I been reigning it would never have gathered strength. The legitimate right of him who commands can alone reform without constraint, yield with out weakness, repress without anger, govern without passion. But the in tegrity of the country is in question, and all it's children ought to defend 1t.
 When the country is in danger, parties disappear; there remains only Span iards. If war breaks out I offer you a truce as long as the struggle with the United States lasts. Be it quite under stood, however, that foreign war is the only motive of the truce I propose, and that firmly maintain my rights to the crown, just as retain the certainty of oaO NoJ SAooPhS Aos DcyoAN tuo ScA | have no territory governed by my arms, and cannot send my loyal volunteers to Cuba, but will defend these prov inces and the Can abrian coast. will arm ss privateers the, mdomitable sons of those shores which gave birth to Ell Cano, Legarpi and Churruca! ' I will pursue the maritime commerce oof our enemies by going to seek them perhaps even in their own ports. In the event of foreign war do you accept the truce l offer youl Let us, then, appoint the delegates who must arrange it. Do you reject it The world will be witness that Catholic Spain has nobly performed it's duty. Do you prefer to ask it of the enemy who menaces youa Humble yourself if you have the heart to do it. You will, perhaps, obtain 8 momentary respite, but there will soon be an at tempt to excite fresh conflicts, and Cuba will be lost to the country. For you will remain the dishonor of having humbled yourself, and the shame of having humbled yourself in vain. a'

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Report of United States Postmaster-Ge
 eral Jewell. .....

Report of United States P0stmaster-Gaen- | eral Jewell.
 The report of Postmaster General Jewell shows, among other things, that the ordinary receipts of that department during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1875, were $26, ,671 ,21S. 50, an increase of $299, ,3A.S0, or 1.13 per cent, over the receipts of 1874, being less than the es- innate made in 1873 by $1,809,3 ,331. To the ordinary receipts should be added the sum of $650, GOO, subsidies to steam ship lines, drawn from the general treas ury and expended, and $120, Al. O9, 1 revenue from ordinary order business, making the receipts from all sources $27, Al, ,360.57. The expenditures of all kinds were $33, ,611, ,3O9. 45, an increase of $1, ASA, ,834.87, or 4.62 per cent. oyer those for 1874, and less than the amount estimated in 1878 by $31S,6O8. The amount drawn from the general treasury under appropriations to meet deficiencies was SC, 6,054, 646 96, from which should be deducted the sum of $1, ,338, ,319. .5U, referred to in previous paragraph, which will leave, as the Legitimate amount drawn on account of the past fiscal year, $4, 716, ,329. 46, against $5, 259,- 933. .55 for the fiscal year of 1873-74. a difference in favor of 1875 of $543,- 606.O9. The number of recorded com plaints during the past year of missing letters of value is 5,645, of which 2,677 were registered and 2,968 unregistered. The registered letters contained, as is alleged, currency, bonds, drafts, etc., amounting to $76,216.2 A, and the un- registered valuable contents amounting to $75, 997. 16. Of the 2,677 registered letters reported as lost 1,O93 were satis- factorily accounted for, 911 actually lost and 683 remain under investigation. During the year 307 persons were ar rested charged with various violations of the postal laws, the greater portion of whom were not connected with the postal service. ...-.
 In the Money Order department, the annual transactions have reached about $80, GOO, ,OO0. The officers of the depart ment are subjected to great annoyances, and the department itself to great pecu. niary loss, by the prevalent system of straw bidding" on long and expensive routes. Several stringent laws have been enacted with view to the eradication of the evil, but they have signally failed to accomplish the desired result. The department pays the railroad companies for transportation of the mails about BIO, ,000, 900 annually.
 The weight of public documents sent through the mails from members of Congress was estimated by the depart ment to be from two t. three hundred tons. -- ...
 The act of June 23, 1874, requiring prepayment in stamps of postage on newspapers and periodical publications mailed from known offices of publication or. news agencies, and addressed to regular subscribers or news agents, went into effect the first of January, 1875, and from present indications it will realize about $1,000, ,000 for the first calendar year. The new system has worked so admirably, and has given such general satisfaction, that no change is deemed necessary.

Death in the Ballroom.

Miss Wilhelmina Townsend, young lady, died suddenly while dancing at a party in Boston. A party of young ladies and gentlemen, numbering about forty couple, held a sociable in Pythian Hall, and were having O merry time None were enjoying themselves more than Miss Townsend. She had during the evening danced several times, and while waltzing, after having passed around the hall few times, she sudden ly feIl from the arms of her partner upon settee corpse. At first it was supposed that she had only tainted. Medical aid was summoned, but too late. Her father, who was present, con- veyed the body to his home. She was little moro than sixteen years old The physicians pronounced it case of heart disease. The event so worked upon the nerves of another one of the dancers, named Sarah Pollard, that she swooned, and was taken to the police station and placed upon a cot, where she lay in a deathlike stupor for nearly two hours, at the end of which time 1t was deemed best to convey her to her home, she then showing but slight symptoms of re- turning to her former self.

X Tough Story.

Two old plowmen down East were once telling tough stories of their ex- ploits in breaking up new ground. "Up to Dixmont," said one, "twenty- seven years ago this spring, I was blow ing in stump ground with team of nine pair of cattle for Sol. Cunningham; we were going along, making not very smooth work among rocks and stumps We'll, one day the point O. the blow struck against sunk stump four feet through, split it square across the heart, and I was following the blow through, when the thought passed through my mind that the pesky stump might snap together and pinch my toes, so just gripped the plow handles firm, swung my feet up out O the way, and the stump sprung back and catched the slack of my pantaloons. That brought every thing up standing. We'll, I frightened my hold, and Sim Swithin, he and Sol was drivin', they spoke to the cattle, and we snaked that stump right out by the roots, and it had awful long ones." cit must have been strainin' on your sus- penders," said the other. "My wife knit them, :" was the reply.

SALISBURY, CONN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1875

changed the strain of his rude music from the wild discordant sound which had marked it to rather plaintive air, which thought his instrument incap. able of producing judging from the previous performance. -'' - Every one now noticed that the snakes were, in military phraseology, :" chang. ing front to the rear upon the center '' by turning round upon their tails, with heads down, and on their bellies winding back as if intent on reaching their holes as fast as they had come from them. In so doing their mouths came, or seemed to come in contact with the powder which Mungul Deen had previously scattered and, as it seemed, on tasting it they immediately gave up the ghost in whatever part of the field they chanced to be. t'.
 The snake charmer continued his pip ing for some time, after which he per formed dance that would have done honor to the Dervishes. This dance lasted about fifteen minutes, during which Mungul kept at first slowly nov. ing his body in @ circle, until the move ment and excitement of the dancer seem- ed to grow intense. His arms were ralseo ana lowered hlS head swayed to and fro as if it would come off, and at last he fell to the ground, apparently in state of complete exhaustion. This was not so, however, for upon an attend ant administering some potion from a cup, he stood up and declared the bat tie won and himself unscathed. z
 The spectators then descended from their rostrum, and can testify as one of the party that on inspection that ground was found to be we'll covered with the carcasses of dead cobras, the most deadly of the genus hydra. I learned some time afterwards that the owner of tho land, Mean Raj, was no more troubled by his former plague; in fact, was so well content that he had re- warded Mungul Deen literally, while llis servants no more refused to till. the ground where the Indian snake charmer had charmed 50 wisely and so well.

Of all small vices, tobacco chewing is about the most offensive and it is as- tonishing that people will tolerate it. Here is an amusing embarrassment, that the man deserved A young Hartford merchant called on a young lady few evenings since, and was shown into the parlor to await her appearance, when, the lamps being unlit, he removed a large quid of tobacee from his mouth and threw it out of the window, as he supposed. When the lady appeared with light, the most prominent object in the room was that young man staring in very embarrassed way at big chunk of tobacco pinning the lace curtain to the unopened window.

The Frost King.

From out his winter palace The king has started forth The birds have left their summer nests The wind is in the north. The riversand the mountain,
 The brown and w1inkled sod, Begin to show already where
 His messengers have trod. The clouds unroll their ermine,
 And OCT meadow. lane and street, Aike courtiers, spread their mantles down Before the royal feet. Close to the friendly corners
 The sheltered ivies cling, .-..- And wear their emerald cloaks despite The coming of king. ":." His naien and look are naughty,
 His voice is cold and stern, And yet his kisses on the cheek
 Like crimson roses burn.' Down from the crested mountain,
 With grandeur in his tread, -. .. The winter king is coming, with ..... A white crown on his head. -'.s.. Not amid waving banners, Or to the sound of drums 4 Beating their gladdest music,
 This conquering hero comes; But silently and solemaly ...
 He enters his domain, With twenty and hundred good
 Stout yeomen in his train. Clasping the old earth tightly
 Against his frozen breast, As if she were his chosen queen,
 He says: II bring thee rest. Thou hast reigned long and nobly, Thy virtues all are known, ;. And thou wilt not forgotten be,
 Though I possess the throne Contentedly resigning
 Her scepter and her crown, Beneath . downy coverlet
 The weary queen lay down, To sleep with hey companions, . Who, at the touch of spring, Shall rise again in time to see The going of 8 king.
