4 have not written you for some time.
tnt as ] aow have o leisure moment I
cannot spend my time more profitable
than to give you the latest news, which
hayo gathered from Trustworthy sources.
The snow fell OH Friday to the depth of
seven inches, and the changes of the
weather in this metropolis may be we'll
said to be very uncertain. Clear at early
dawn on Friday, it succeeded in getting
cloudy toward midday, and at one o'clock
the snow began to fall, continuing all the
afternoon and ell night, which for March,
however, is considered fair weather.
To-day is est. Patrick's" day, and very
soon we shall hear the rc!ling of the
drum aud the shrill notes Of the fife, call
ing together our Irish brethren, who, Of
course, expect to exercise every right Of
American citizenship on this "St. Pat
rick's day in the morn" 1t is amusing
to sec the servant girls wearing the favo.
rite "green" about their necks in the
form of a bow; however, it is not the first
time, l suppose, that bow (beau) en-
circled their nccks. They are good
and brave get Of citizens, nevertheless,
and seem happy to be able to enjoy tho
privilege Of celebrating their much be-
loved Saints day OH American soil.
The latest sensation, and novel one.
too, Is the great excitement caused by
the reported "cures" effected By the
means of "blue glass;" It has become o
mania. 1t is particular adapted to the
cure Of all nervous diseases, and Is per-
feet cure for "baldheadness." l am ex-
pecting to take out patent for "blue
glass" hats, that is blue glass ventilators,
which will find ready sale, no doubt, as
the cure for baldheadness will stand out
as tho most prominent feature of the
patent. The action of the "bluc ray"
penetrating the ventilator, upon ones
Uranium" will, 1t is believed, (if it does
not furnish superabundance of brains, J
be highly productive Of some good; be-
sides sure means Of keeping the weares
of this peculiar hat in healthful and
happy condition. Enclosed you will find
"blue glass journal" printed in blue,
the contents of which are interesting, as
1t explains, to some extent, the theory of
the effects Of the "blue ray" It is eaid
to have wonderful effect upon vegetable
life, and hence invaluable to the hus-
bandman.
1t business is dull in your quiet little
village-and understand that you have
had some failures recently, which 1 re-
gret to learn-only try tho cure of blue
glass; it will create some excitemept and,
perhaps, as -ole Of Sankey's songs runs,
"Revive us again." In many places in
the city, and particularly in Firth ave-
nue, the glass is suspended before the
windows. We would not suppose that
this peculiar mania had reached the
Capital, yet 1t appears that it has. There
has been proposition made, we learn, by
contractors from New York, to cover the
domo of the Capitol with blue glass,
which would be good idea, if through
It's influence it would supply the members
of Congress with little more wisdom,
in order that when another Electoral
Commission is appointed, some of its
members will have the wisdom to see
that the number of Democrats is equal
the number of Republicans.
This bring us now to the play, "sevcn
and Eight" which is being enacted at
Tony Pastors, and which is n complete
burlesque Of the far famed Eight to
Sevon." Now, in conclusion. let lis add
that the sentiment of the people here is
truly one os sympathy foz .he people cf
Louisiana and South Carolina, and de-
mand, with the rest of the country, that
Mr.. Hayes remove the troops from these
States, thereby giving the most popular
and strongest government the chance to
sustain itself. We all acknowledge the
magnanimous Hampton as the legitimate
Governor of the State, and anticipate
speedy recognition by the general gov
ernment of the only man who can con-
troll the State ut this present critical
crisis, at the same time restoring the
credit of the State and establishing n
prosperous government.
