The London and Paris correspondents of
The New York Times furnish some inter-
esting information concerning the weather
in Europe this winter. In England tho
rainfall in December was the heaviest
known in seventy years, and there never
was wetter January. The damage done
TO crops, railways, farm buildings and TO
private dwelling houses throughout the
country will amount TO millions sterling,
while the disasters at sea have been far
moro serious than was imagined. The
Paris correspondent, writing January 8,
says: within the memory of the oldest
inhabtant, l may say without exaggera-
ton, there has never been a winter like
this. Since the end of autumn we have
had spring-like weather, with no cold, no
frost, and very little rain. To-day il is
scarcely cold enough for an overcoal, and
light summer shower is falling, with inter-
walls Of sunshine, which makes ono look
with wonder upon the trees that still re-
main stark aud bare. No one would be
surprised TO see them budding out"
In Russia there has been an exceptional
ly rigorous winter. The cold at Moscow
has been Intense, and at st. Petersburg il

SlGNoR BL1Tz, the prince of presldig-
taleurs in his time, and whose recent death
at Philadelphia has been announced, was
in many respects a remarkable character.
Three generations at least of Americans
owed TO him some of the happiest hours of
their lives. He was the Conjurer of the Re-
public the most incredible of ventrilo-
quists the most Unsuitable consumer of
yards of ribbon, omeletts made in badly
astonisheJ hats and miscellaneous cutlery ;
the M ost iudeiatigable producer of canary
birds from watch cases, rabbits from waist
coat pockets, and butterflies from egg
shells, that America ever knew. That his
real name was Blilz no one, we presume,
ever believed. His lightning touch justi-
fed 1t, however; and though he had long
retired from the scene of his triumphs and
of our delight, there are hundreds of good
people of both sexes all over the country
who will hear with sigh of old remem-
brance that tie magician who enchanted
their careless childhood has ceased to be.
Although Boston was one of his Iavorite
cities, the Quaker City seemed to suit the
artist so well that after making an extend
ed tour Of tho country he permanently es-
tabished himself there. He was a great
iavorite socially, being very af1able in his
manners. During the later years of his life
he performed only for the benefit of charit-
able institutions, having amassed large
fortune for himself and family by his pre-
vious efforts. Tie automaton trumpeter,
the never-lailing egg-sack and the Sphinx
were the result sof his creative fancy.

The report of the three engineers submit
led TO The Legislative Committee investi-
eating the Ashtabula disaster throws some
new light upon the bridge question. They
find, from evidence of various kinds, that
the break occurred at or near the west end
of the bridge, and that the braces failed
first, thereby involving the failure OF the
top cord. The responsibility for The disas-
Ter is narrowed down, by the judgment of
these experts, 10 the builders of the bridge,
or more properly, 10 the railroad company,
who neglected, from motives of economy,
TO provide sufficient material. 1t was not
the fault Of the bridge pattern, for that is
regarded as one of the best; nor OF The me-
chanics, for their work was we'll done; nor
yet of the kind of material, for iron is be-
lieved 10 be perfectly secure-but Of the
superintendent and managers who left
weaknesses which could have been discov-
cred and prevented.
