The Coming OF Winter.

The climatic changes which take place on
this section Of the Atlantic coast just before
the commencement Of the regular winter
season are usually marked by the passage
of more or less violent disturbances during
the progress of which we experience rapid
alterations Of temperature and fair and foul
weather The equinoctial period was one Of
cold, mist and misery that surprised many
lingerers at the seaside and in the country,
and sent them cityward with pinched
cheeks and numbed fingers. Then came o
tantalizing spell Of warm summer-like
weather that made the refugees regret their
hasty fight from the woods and the waves.
But the storms soon came chasing each
other over the country, and rain, wind and
waterproofs ruled the hours. With the
exception of during the September storm
the temperature did not fall below the point
considered comfortable until the recent
great disturbance created the conditions
favorable for an inflow of icy winds from
the northwestward. vast atmospheric
depression overspread the whole country
between the Atlantic coast and the Rocky
Mountains during and for some days after
the oath of November. This has given place
to an equally extensive area of dense, cold
atmosphere which has advanced from the
Northwest and West in series of waves,
each one being colder than that preceding
it. The rains attending the storm area that
.has Just passed over the lakes and Canada
were converted by the frigid contact into
snow, the ponds and lakes to the northward
became stilled by the icy hand of the winter,
and that period Of the year which is filed
with many joys, IL with some dis
comforts, for the wealthy, but which
never presents any but terrible aspect to
the poor, comes on US. In contemplating
the coming of winter as the beginning of
the season of pleasure and festivity, of balls
and operas, OF merry sleighing parties and
skating let it not be forgotten that during
its long, dark months thousands of our fell
low beings will be compelled to endure the
horrors Of starvation and cold. Such Is the
operation of the mysterious law Of compen-
sation, but we can do much toward mitigat-
ing it's severity.

The Sermons Yesterda y.

The tone of the pulpit yesterday was cer-
tainly not sensational. Some very inter-
esting sermons were preached in the regu-
lar orthodox old-fashioned style there were
none of the modern pulpit improvements
and an entire absence Of religious pyrotech-
MICS. Perhaps the most noteworthy dis
course was that by the Rev. Mr.. Hepworth.
who in moderate language painted the
present condition OF society, politically,
socially and morally. Infdelity. he said.
has eaten the heart Of society, and
to be saved we must come back TO the old
faith and to the Sermon on the Mount. The
press and the Bench were very properly
commended for the services they have rem
dered to Christianity in these recent years.
DR.. Frothingham's sermon, practically on
the same text, took an entirely different
view of the situation. He held the Chris
tian religion responsible for most II not all
the evils Of the time, because II has, in his
opinion, failed in dealing with the ques-
tions of real life. This Is an old charge
against the Christian Church, and its
fallacy has been shown . thousand

A Redeem ed state.

No unprejudiced person can read Gov
ernor Hampton's Message to the South
Carolina Legislature without being i'm
pressed by the evidence it gives of the i'm
proved condition of the State under the
rule of its own legally elected citizens.
There is no longer any embittered feeling
between the races the sting has been ex-
tracted from political differences, and re-
vived confidence brings forth its fruits in
improved business, increased enterprise
and plentiful employment. The Governor
recognizes these advantages and declares
that their continuance must depend
on the perfect good faith in which
the pledges made during the exciting
struggle for self-government are fulfilled.
Impartial justice in the administration Of
the laws, with the recognition of the per-
feet equality of oil citizens under those
laws, and the assurance of protection to all
in their rights Of person and property he
declares to be the essentials of the States
permanent peace and prosperity. In its
financial recommendations. the Message is q
model of sound principles and statesman
ship. It's vigorous denunciation not Of re-
pudation alone, but of any act that can in
the slightest degree impair the credit and
tarnish the honor of the State, might we'll
be studied with advantage by our Western
politicians, who are eager to bring disaster
and disgrace not on State alone, but on
the entire nation.

waters within the past eighteen years.
''Thus in 1859, there was what i
known as the Royal Charter gale,
causing the loss Of S4S ships. The gales
of January, February and November
1861, added AGO to the number of wrecks
Those of January, October and December,
1862, caused upward of $40 wrecks. Those
of January, March, September, October.
November and December. 1858. resulted in
$50 wrecks. In the gales Of November
1864, there were 264 wrecks" The gales Of
1865 gave 766; of 1866, 793, and of 1867, $50
wrecks.
Although in the majority of cases these
destructive gales occur during the opening
and closing months Of the year-that is,
prevail between September and March
cases are cited where much devastation has
been caused by exceptionally heavy gales
during the summer months. THIS, in 1868
a most destructive gale occurred on the 22d
and 23d Of August, and in 1869 similar
tempest occurred on the 10Th and 10th OF
June During 1870 the dangerous gales
were infrequent, but between and including
1871 and lS76 enormous losses were caused
by storms. Until our unequivocal mes
sages were sent to London, giving in the
positive terms of q prediction the warning
intended to be conveyed, nothing practical
had been done by any individual or institu-
ton toward accomplishing the object in
view-namsly, the protection OF commerce
against the dangerous storms that cross the
Atlantic Ocean. OF course many meteorol.
ogists have long believed in the possibility
of success in sending positive warnings; but
no warnings of that character were sent
until the HERALD Weather Bureau had
established the practicability Of its sys-
tenn. and then only by there HEsAIDs
Previous attemptsa at notifying the European
coast failed because the senders Of the sig
nails Of danger did not know anything Of the
storms progress after it had left this coRti-
nent The best that could be done was to
inform London or Paris that storm had
left the American coast on certain parallel
and ask the observers in Europe to 'look
out for it." The HERALp saves the observers
in England and France all trouble of ''look-
ing out" for they are told exactly the time
of the storms arrival, and can warn theil

nsters.

A perusal of the Wreck Register Of Great
Britain for lS75-76 will convince the most
sceptical of the absolute necessity Of storm
warnings on the coast of Europe. Although
the Register for the period referred to in
cludes about $50 minor casualties which
were Of class not previously recorded. the
balance remaining out OF grand total of
wrecks, casualties and collisions from all
causes, on and near the coasts Of the United
Kingdom and in the surrounding seas, is

ported in the previous year." During the
past twenty years 35,949 shipwrecks and
casualties have occurred on the British
coasts. Between 1861 and 1875-76 the num-
Der OF vessels which met with casualties at
tended with loss Of life on the coasts and
seas OF the British Isles was 1852, causing
the drowning Of IL, 322 persons. We extract

sitting Bull.


There appears to be good reason for be-
lieving that Sitting Bull and the Sioux
chiefs who accompanied him across the
Canadian frontier entirely misunderstood
the offer of our government at the recent
conference at Fort Walsh. The letter OF
our correspondent, published in another
column, gives some new and interesting
facts showing that the Sioux were not able
to clearly understand the terms carried to
them by General Terry and his brother
commissioners. 1t appears that this dis
covery was made by Major Walsh, OF
the Dominion Police, during q recent
visit to the tribe, and he was surprised to
hear the Indians say that "they had not re-
fused to 90 back" On further investigation
the Canadian officer ascertained that the
Sioux leaders had failed to fully grasp the
scope Of the offer made them by the commits
sion. We are not surprised at this, for the
HERALD at the time of Sitting Bulls refusal
to accept the offer of our government ex-
pressed the opinion that when the terms
were fully understood and appreciated
the Indians would give q different
answer. The conference was SO short
and the address Of General Terry SO
rapidly delivered it was difficult for the In
dian mind, accustomed to deliberate medi-
tation, to comprehend the tenor of his re-
marks. They first learned that their arms
and ponies were to be taken from them, and
this one stipulation SO engrossed the atten-
ton of Sitting Bull and his chiefs that they
failed to understand the offer of compensa-
tion that accompanied it. Our correspond
ent alludes to another fact which throws
additional light on the conduct of the Sioux
leaders during the conference. It ap-
pears that the Nez Perce fugtives
from the battle Of Bear Paw Mountain
informed Sitting Bull and his followers that
General Terry was o participant in that
fight, SO ''they could not listen to o man
who had on his hands the blood Of their
race" Believing this, it was natural for the
Sioux to view General Terry with disfavor,
and the arrival of the fugitives at Fort
Walsh before the commission was most in
opportune, for their false information pref
udiced the Indians against the man upon
whom, of all others, the success OF the COM
mission depended.
It is to be hoped that the government will
take proper steps to ascertain the present
feelings Of the Sioux, and, ifit is found that
they are indeed willing to accept the terms
offered by General Terry and return the
offer should be renewed. 1t would be dis
honorable to allow the Canadian authorities
to further care for the fugitives if the latter
are willing and anxious to come back. We
already owe much to the British officials in
the Northwest for their wise treatment Of
the hostiles taking refuge beyond the lines.
and having already made offers of pacifca-
ton to the Sioux we should spare no pains
to induce Sitting Bull and his people to
accept our terms and live among rs in
peace and security.

The War News.

News from Kars reports substantial
Russian advantage near Batoum in the
abandonment Of the heights of Khatzubani
by the Molsems and their occupation by
the Muscovites. This event will greatly
encourage and facilitate further operations
at that point; and as it was doubtless one of
the consequences of q concentration Of
every available man at Trebizond in the
pursuit of desperate endeavor to hold that
place 1t indicates weakness that fore
shadows the capture of Batoum it.
SELF The story of the deserters from
Plevna, that Osman Pacha will make
sortie in two weeks if not relieved in the
meantime, is highly important, but is not
to be implicitly accepted, on account Of the
bad habit some commanders have of not
telling all the deserters precisely what they
intend to do But there are armies, 1t is
true, in which secrets arc not well kept,
and in which the generals intentions seem
to be in the air and known to everybody.
SO that it may be true, despite the fact that
it is deserter's story, that Osman intends
sortie. He must soon do that or surren-
der, and he is not very likely to surrender
without an effort to get out.

A Searching investigation Dem and cd


The circumstances attending the death
of Mr.. Nathan Odenwald, recently re-
ceived inmate of the Lunatic Asylum on
Wards Island, demand most searching
investigation. The account given at the
asylum is that Mr. Odenwald. who was
large, powerfully built man, about forty
six years of age, was lodged there by his
friends some days ago, suffering from acute
mania that about five o'clock on Wednes-
day morning he attacked fellow patient
and attempted to strangle him; that John
Byrne, keeper, hearing the alarm, came
to the rescue, and was in his turn
seized and choked by Odenwald !;
that Frederick Lord, another keeper,
then joined Byrne and released him
from Odenwald's grip. When the struggle
was over Odenwald became unconscious
and died on Friday morning. post-mortem
examination disclosed the fact that eight
of the .deceased's ribs on the right side and
three on the left side had been broken and
driven into the lungs, and that he had q
confusion on the left side Of the head, be-
sides number of bruises about the body.
The only damages inflicted on the keepers
seem to have been o few scratches on
Byrne's throat.
The terrible injuries suffered by the de-
ceased are accounted for by the statement
that during his struggle with Byrne he
was thrown or tell twice heavily, once
against the knob of the iron bedstead
and once across pail in the mid
die of the floor. The story is most
singular one. If Byrne was held by the
throat in madmans grip by the deceased,
a large, powerful man, how could the latter
have twice fallen undermost during the
struggle, once on an iron bed and once on q
pail, with sufficient violence to break eleven
ribs and lacerate his lungs with the ragged
edges? Such O statement will unhesitat-
ingly be pronounced almost incredible.
The injuries were inflicted on the un-
fortunate man on Wednesday morning,
and he did not die until the follow
ing Friday morning. 1t is stated that his
daughter and her husband called at the
asylum to see Odenwald on Thursday,
Thanksgiving Day, but were refused adj
mission. After threatening complaint to
the Commissioners they were shown to a
cell in which Odenwald lay wounded and
unconscious. They were then told that he
had been fighting with another patient and
been thrown across an iron bedstead. II
this story is true why were the son-in-
law and his wife deceived? What object
was there in concealing from them the
truth? This case should be, as we soy,
most searchingly investigated nor should
the investigation be intrusted wholly to
any coroner. The friends of the deceased
affirm that, although out of his mind. he
had never been violent before being taken
to the asylum. The subject is one which
the District Attorney should take hold Of, and
he should have competent surgical opinion
outside the asylum officials and the coroner
ms to whether the crushing and mangling oi
the deceased could have been done in the
manner alleged by the keepers.

Beecher was comparatively tame. He
mildly censured the scientists who are
asking where man came from, not where
he is going. He did not, however, condemn
the former inquiry, but he held the latter
to be infinitely more important and prac-
tical. In the Church of Santiago the Cuban
patriots found comfort and consolation.

Rich showing from Arizona.

There has been open to public inspection for the past few days lot of remarkably rich ore, or rather, perhaps, WIG should say, chunks of metallic silver. lately brought from Arizona. This lot, which consists of 2,230 pounds. is to be seen at the office of l the Germania Life Insurance Company. 2lG SanSomc street. It comes from what is known as the Stoncwall Jackson claim, in Globe district. and il is calculated that it will yield at the rate of S20,00O per ton, most experts estimating the yield somewhat higher. This lode carries q streak of similar stuil ! A far down as it has been opened. depth of over S0 feet.
