The we.ther-A General snow storm

The Weather-A General Snow storm.
Yesterday morning rain or snow fell east
ward of the Mississippi and from Canada
to the Gulf The greatest precipitation is
recorded at New York and Boston, where
nearly one inch of water has fallen in the
forms Of rain and snow since the storm CON-
menced. At New London and Philadelphia
the fall was 10 of an inch; Portland, Me-,
A; Bangor and Montreal A. and
Baltimore, 40 At New Orleans ct
of an inch of rain fell, but was
not due to the influence of the storm centre
that has just passed near New York. An
area of very high pressure is central in the
Lower Mississippi Valley. and a depression
is moving across the Gulf. The contact of
the cold and warm atmospheres Of these
areas has resulted in condensation which
caused the heavy rainfall at New Orleans
The gale on the Texas coast was also due to
the proximity Of the areas of high ard low
pressure. Tho storm centre which passed
near New York city yesterday followed the
western side of the Alleghanies, as predicted
in the HERALD. 1t moved eastward between
Albany and this city and passed off the
coast at Cape Cod. Snow is now falling
over large area, which extends eastward
from Indianapolis to the Atlantic and north
ward Of Philadelphia. A very low temper
aturc prevails III the West, Northwest
and in Canada We shall begin to ex-
perience this cold this afternoon A
depression is moving very far to the
north in Manitoba and may descend
into our territory when tho high pressure
has shifted to the coast. We print else
where very full account of the effects of
yesterdays storm and the discomforts
suffered in city travel. We regret that
several serious accidents have occurred from
slippery sidewalks, but, fortunately, the
snow soon covered the icy coating on the
streets and gave surer footing to pedes-
trians. The weather in New York to-day
will be cold and cloudy, or partly cloudy,
possibly with light snow, followed by falling
temperature and clearing skies.

EVERYBODY REMEMBERS how the Russian
Bear stretched friendly paw across the sea
to us during tho dark days Of our civil war;
while tn British Lion and the Gallo Cock
were threatening US with tooth and claw.
Our report of the coming Russian feet will
therefore be read with lively satisfaction.
Twice before we have shown the Muscovite
tars that Americans never forget their
friends; but now while Russia has some
enemies of her own, is the time to outdo our
selves in hospitality. The fact that our old
acquaintance the Grand Duke Alexis ac-
companies the feet will stimulate the
hearty feeling which is awakened in America
by the nero mention of any thing Russian.

IN SITE or WEATHER in which even the
wealthy suffer nothing adequate to the ne
cessties of the poor is yet being done. Pub
lie appropriations hang fire in the Board of
Apportionment, and private benevolence
has not yet come forward to make good the
deficiency. The old Board of Apportion-
mcnt goes out with the year, and before the
new one can do anything the sufferings of
tile destitute will have become terrible.
Tie situation can only be met by the
wealthy and by whoever else has spare
dollar For names of deserving cases see
tho HEnALD's daily reports.

JUDGE BONDS CASE. The House of Rep
resentatives is not always carried away by
partisanship when called upon to act on a
political question. Yesterday the House
refused to adopta resolution offered by Mr..
Warren, of Massachusetts,, directing the
Judiciary Committee to inquire into the
act OF Judge Bond lin releasing the
members Of the Canvassing Board in
South Carolina from custody, with q
view to his impeachment if he

IT WOULD SEEM that time alone will show
what advantage, if any, will arise from the
change in freights made at the recent con-
ference of the directors of trunk lines. The
views Of some Of our leading merchants are
given in another column. The question is
whether trade will be diverted from New
York in favor of Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Boston, or whether New York is to have
her fair share.

THOSE Who are interested in the condi-
fion of the Ocean Bank will find elsewhere a
report of the meeting held by the deposit
tors. A committee Of three was appointed
to wait upon tho receiver, and in case of
failure in procuring settlement to apply to
the Secretary of the Treasury for relief. AS
The bank failed in 1871 the depositors cannot
be accused of being hasty in taking action.

exceeded his power. Judge Bonds act is of
questionable legality, and he has not gained
credit by his course in South Carolina. But
his decision must be reviewed by the SUI
preme Court of the United States, to which
an appeal has been taken. 1t is therefore
not a subject for the action of the House, at
least at present, and the resolution was
properly rejected.

FLonIDAs CASE DOES not seem settled
after all. Our special despatch from Talla-
hassee tells how a large republican fraud
was unearthed in Leon county by the House
Committee, and explains the rejection of
other returns whose incorrectness was adj
judged upon technicality which was a
mere bubble.

How to Have Beautiful l.yacinths
in Winter.

Late in December, after our fall
stock of bulbs were disposed of, we
found a dozen or more hyacinths of
various colors, which had been OVER
looked. To keep them from spelling
they were hastily planted in four or
five large pots, and these set away in
an out-buiiding, where they would be
free from frost and have very little
light. There they were left for three
months, and nothing done except to
water them occasionally. Expecting
little or nothing from them, they were
not noticed till leaf ard flower stalk
we've perfectly developed. The light
had not b,cn sufficient to color the
flowers, and these were all of a dirty
pale green. The pots were now
brought to the sitting-room and placed
in the foil sunshine, and in few
hours each spike had assumed its
natural tint. The effect was very
beautiful Not bulb had failed
red, purple, yellow, blush and white
were all large and perfect.
