IT was lately stated, as an example of
intense cold, that in Montana, on the
night of the 18th inst, the mercury
in the thermometers all froze, small
quantities of mercury in walls became

of doors froze solid in half an hour.

The proof whisky that froze in half an
hour is regarded by contemporary as
beyond belief The freezing of mercury
happens at 30 or 40 deg. below zero, but

The Way 10 be Prosperoue,

The communication of "a South Caro-
inian" discusses the question of the
condition of the State with intelligence
and knowledge. The writer Is convers-
ant with the subject in all its bearings.
Hs knows what it Is that depresses in
dustry and ohills enterprise. At the
same time he pays only just tribute to
the strenuous exertions of the people,
and cordially admits the degree of pros
perity they have gained in some locali-
ties, in spite Of the adverse influences
which weigh upon them. When the
State Is purged of frauds, when account
ebiity in Office becomes living thing,
when taxes are put Mt half the present
sum, when offices are largely abolished
and salaries reduced, when office-hold-
ing shall cease to be the most profitable
business in the State in itself and through
the opportunities it opens, when the
moral sense of the community is quick
ened, when the advantages of education
and proper training and the force of ex-
amples of integrity and character are
felt and made potent-then will we be-
gin to. realize change; then will the
fruits of toll be secure. For these things
all good citizens will work, for when we
have success in them, the barriers to
prosperity and peace. to the access OF
population, tptthe introduction of enter
prise and capital, TO o better and higher
tone In conduct, public and private, win
be broken down. =" -. =

The academy says it is probable that

with the Countess Guiccioli, may be

GUS and often amusing documents bear
ing upon the loves Of Byron and the fair
Countess. These papers include, for
instance, letter from the Countess to
her husband, wherein she confesses her
culpability in loving Byron; long string
OF minute fegulations-of that sort which
is specially exasperating to the female
mind drawn up by the Count for the

had ensued; letters from certain Fanny,

Ex-SpEAKEn BLAINE D1sausrED. Mr..
Blaine is somewhat disgusted with the
newspapers, and it is no wonder. A
quiet dinner at Philadelphia has been
magnified into Presidential plot. It is
curious to notice that, when they have
an object in view, no set Of journalists in
the country can be- more personal or
vituperative than these same "Adminis-
tration papers," It has suited them of
late to declaim against the license of an
independent press, but once give them
the chance to hound down a political
enemy, and they will not hesitate long
over the work. Let Democrat in Office
steal, and plain:speaking instantly be-
comes virtue. It is slander and libel,
only when aimed at a Republican official.
MIR. Blaine has suffered good deal from
the unscrupulous class of Republican,
newspapers, but he isn't injured rs yet
for they are not the people who can de-
stroy the chances of a Presidential can
didnte.

The ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF Conn.,
The price Of corn was still further ad-
vanced OF the Baltimore Corn and Flour
Exchange, Tuesday, and it closed at 89c =,
&c. higher than on Monday. The sales,
hower, were very light. only reaching
$4,000 bushels Of nll grades. The ad-
vance is believed by many to have
reached nearly its highest point, and is
attributed to the scarcity in this market
and the quantity sold to bo exported in
April. There have been several hundred
thousand bushels sold for April delivery,
some of which was at from 81 to sc.
Those who have to buy Mt 80 to mako
these snles good of course lose money.
1t is positively stated that there is no
corner" here in the corn market, as
that term is generally accepted. There
arc said to be large shipments of corn
due from the West. and that during the
balance of April there will be enough to
fill oil the orders sold.
