SENTIMENTAL YEARNERs after the Commune
which some foreign enthusiasts have lauded SO
eloquently, will find but little comfort in our
pertinent selections from Jules Simon's new
work. The biographer of Theirs pronounces
the best of the Paris Communists to have been
stupid blunderers. The world well knows what
the worst of them were, and there is no reason
to believe that on this side of the ocean they
would be any better

THE WEATHER.-The depression, the storm
centre of which created so much damage on the
New England coast, has passed entirely into
tbe ocean. The area of low barometer in the
West now dominates the weather from the
Rocky Mountain regions to the Ohio Valley and
from Texas and the Gulf States to the Britsh
Possessions. The pressure has fallen but
vlightly within the area, and its eastward prog
rcss is very slow. A large area of high barom-
pter extends over the New England, Middle,
Bouth Atlantic and Eastern Gulf coasts. The
highest pressure is over the South Atlantic
Btates. Very little rain has fallen east Of
n,e Mississippi Valley. mainly over the
bowcr lake regions. There have been very
heavy showers on the Pacific coast and
some sections Of the Northwest, bat the quan
hity In either district was slight. Clear
weather has generally prevailed in all the

winds have been brisk in the west, northwest

and light elsewhere. Temperatures continue
