The Portland, Me-, Advertiser says O
remarkable meteorological phenomenon
was observed in several places in that
city Friday afternoon. About o'clock
flakes OF snow were seen by many,
who could hardly credit their senses.
Sergeant Boyd of the signal service
happened to be out at the time and
caught several flakes ON his sleeve. He
says such a thing might not occur
again in q hundred years. He explains
lit in this way: Artificial snow may be
formed in q warm room, the air which
has become saturated with the breath
or any cause, by suddenly admitting O
current of cold dry air. Shortly before
3 O'Clock a cloud was observed rising
from the south. At the same time an
other rose from the northwest. The
current of wind which bore this along
was cold, while the opposing current
was warm and saturated with vapor.
These two intermingled, and the effect
was to form crystals of snow. The
preceding heat and dryness Of the day
also helped to produce the result. The
barometer was very low at the time,
aud the thermometer dropped fifteen de-
rgees In ten minutes. The minimum
temperature Friday night WIS sii ssJT
seven degrees. This sudden change
was no less remarkable than the snow
fakes.

a The Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee is using large
part of the force of clerks and laborers
OF the House of Representatives and
Senate at Washington for doing cam
paign work. Documents are being
folded with government paper and
paste, and the committee rooms are
lighted with government gas. The
Republican committee, on the contrary
have their own building and furnish
their own material and help. This is
another indication of the essential diff
ference between the leaders of the two
parties In point of honesty.

x There Is an awful rumor that the
state auditor refuses to pay certain an.
preparations of the last legislature made
Dy joint resolution, for the reason that
all resolutions appropriating money
must DO approved and signed by the
governor Just the same as public or pri.
vste laws, and Gov. Proctor for some
reason failed to sign the resolutions. II
Is also said that he is looking quite
sharply after the contracts for the state
printing. Mr.. Powell means well. and
Is doing quite right, but he is LAYING
the foundation for just a big howl from
parties affected by his strictness, who
probably believe in the happy.go-lucky
style, and don't want to see any new

| A grand temperance movement has
recently been started in England, which
like the Anti-treating Society in Amer.
lea, cannot fail to produce radical re.
form in the habits of the people. A
company has been organized with q
capital of one million sterling, for the
purpose of establishing cheap coffee
houses throughout the city of London,
and all other large towns, to take the
place of the rum-shops. These places
of wholesome refreshment, where a
generous cup of coffee and roll of
bread may be had tor one penny, are
made in every way attractive to the
working people of both sexes, and they
are already largely patronized, while
those who visit them, instead of getting
tipsy, noisy, headachy and quarrelsomc,
return to their work refreshed, strength
ened and cheered This most excellent
reform is enlisting the active sympa-
thies OF the better classes, and none but
rumsellers oppose it. Another temper
ance movement, auxiliary to this, is tho
effort now being made to introduce
light lager beer as substitute for heavy
English beer. But the coffee movement
is the most practicable and effective.
The working people must have places
of resort during the intervals of work,
and on Sunday and In bad weather, and
thousands will prefer the conee-house
to the public house, especially when
books and newspapers are added to the
attractions. Tho coffee movement is
not only popular in London, ii is fash
ionablc. The highest names in Eng
land are associated with the good cause,
and predict for it a glorious revolu.
ton in the economy and morals of the
people, and large diminution of the
Ncwgate calendar.
Mrs. Langtry, the sensation beauty"
of tho last three seasons, is going for
little trip to the United States, and has
engaged passage on one of the magni-
ficent vessels of the White Star Line.
AS the lady in question has rather used
up England in the beauty business, she
pines, no doubt, for fresh fields and
pastures new. The fact is, Miss Neil
son, the actress, has rather put Mrs.
Langtry's nose out of joint. She is the
lioness of the season. She "makes
up" to look five-and-twenty, and a
woman must be good artist who can
knock fifteen years off her age and defy
the sunlight. 1t is all very well, at
night, on the stage-but women gener-
ally betray their want of artistic touch
when they paint and powder for the
orb of day. La Nelson flashes up and
down Rotten Row on coal black steed
to the delight of our jeunesse (stage)
doree-and Mrs. Langtry is "not in Il,
as the sportsmen say. The Americans
are fond of diamonds. Mrs. Langtry
possesses about 100000 worth of the
white sparklers, and these, with the
prestige of her name, which is we'll
known In the States, will render her an
object of interest for some weeks.
