Prof, Maury showed many years ago the
rxmseuuences that q change In the course OF
fine 0ulf stream would make, and prophesied
chat any alteration in the direction of this
mighty oceanic river would more completely
reverse the history of the world, overthrow
and build up nations, than all the wars that
ever desolated this earth. That such change
or diversion is not impossible has long been
known. 1t was only q short time ago that
the English papers were filled with accounts
nj the wonders worked by the diversion OF
the Japanese trade current in the Pacific
s,cean. q change that caused wild and desolate
islands, such as Baker and Barren islands, to
a,loom and blossom like dollhouse gardens.
n was generally conceded, however, that
4he probability of any change in the course o.
fAe Gulf Stream, the grandest and most mag
uiticent OF all the ocean currents, was improb-
.hle at least for years to come. OF late,
however, European meteorologists have an
nounced that such change Is taxing place
and has been taking place for number Of
wears past Instead of suddenly changing It's
course. like that of the Japanese current, the
Culf stream is moving extremely slowly, but
nevertheless moving, west.
The difference in temperature between the
Northern coast of America and Europe is
Uhenomenal. On the one side OF the
ys,nean is an uninhabitable icy waste
- the other well populated and fertile
country. In the last few years, however
disastrous change has occurred in the tenn
porature of the northern and eastern coasts

The carriages occupied the causeway in
front. The vestibule, staircase and pas
sageways were profusely decorated with
fags and beautiful flowers. The rooms
were magnificent. Everything that money
could supply and elegant taste select was
there to add to the beauty and impressive
ness Of the scene.
AN OFFICIAL DINNER.
There were covers for twenty-four, and
the guests were General Grant and family,
and the members OF the American Legation
and Consulate and their families. There

richness. The dancing commenced early
and continued till four o'clock in the

Russian Ambassador, yesterday, previous
to going to the dinner, and passed three
quarters of IN hour in conversation, Prince
