WINTER DAYS.
J-arease in Their Length.-COld
fp weather In store.
from the Hartford TimeI

From the Hartford Times.
Already, before the old year has
1snsrted, there is gain in the length
= The DAYS. The afternoon is already
!, or seven minutes longer than they
xsre ten days ago. As yet, there is no
change in the time of the suns rising,
wbich is still at its latest; but the morn
ings, too, will now begin to show
cbsnge--even if it be slight one. But
the marked gain in the duration Of light
Is at the sunset hour. There is not only
an actual gain of several minutes in the
mn's delay in retiring, but the curious
increase in the twilight, which begins
with the very first change in the swing
of the yesrs great pendulum, is already
sufficient to be perceptible on clear
afternoons By the close OF next month
the days will be aD hour longer than
they were last week; and about three
quarters of this marked change will be
in the Afternoons point which inter
ests the gas companies as well rs the
public. A London dispatch says that
city has been wrapped in fog for eighteen
consecutive days. 1t is the time for
these chill, thick and foul fogs, in Lon
don. They compel the use OF artificial
light at MONDAY; and then they but
serve to "make darkness visible"
Here, in our northern American winter
climate, though the volume of the suns
light is enormously diminished, at this
low angle, we nevertheless get a great
many bright days, ever at this time Of
winter cold and shadow; and at
no other time does the suns
light and warmth feel quite so welcome
and genial or so pleasantly felt in sunny
and sheltered places. 1t is one of the
partial compensations for the various
discomforts of the winter season, that
almost from its very beginning, and while
its severest weather is coming, we can
yet note the increasing length of the
days. 1t is pleasanter prospect than
it is in autumn to mark the days de-
crease, and the daily gaining encrosch-
ment of the chill reign of darkness.
Our planet, in its circling dance around
the sun, isnow once more-and how many
million times it has done it-slowly
turning it's Swallowed northern zone to-
ward the great ight and life.giver. The
time is etill distant--to the jewellers in
northern climes--when the gradually
! maturing change will make itself felt in
the presence Of new and brighter sea-
son. There is long reign of winter
still in store-perhaps gay and CHEEKY
one, if the sleigh rides are favored with
the conditions to meet their wishes; and
even at the worst, with the dreariest of
freezing and thswing weather and lack
Of snow, the winter cold, for all who are
no: more or less invslids, is still tonic
and inygorsting influence, which gives
the glow and sparkle of health, and
sends the blood tingling freshly through
every artery and vein. And after its
due season, we are all quite ready to
exchange it for the brighter, more genial
season. to which it will introduce us
and the beauty of which is greatly
heightened by the contrast which the
winter affords.

The Committee on Mines and Mining
in the House Of Representatives, are
now considering the bill introduced by
Converse to change the mining laws in
accordance with the recommendations
of the Public Lands Commission. Only
one material amendment is reported as
having been presented to the Commit
tee, and that is to reduce the price of
mineral lands from S. to so per acre
and to extend the time for applying for
a patent from one to two years. This
amendment has been agreed to by the
committee, making the section in re-
ference to mining read as follows
"a mining claim located after the
first day Of September, 1850, may equal,
but shall not exceed, a square OF 800
feet on the side, and the same may lie
in any shape, so that neither the length
nor breadth shall exceed /, 500, nor ag-
pregate an area to exceed that Of the
square hereinbefore first described"
The section gives to the miner an area
OF about % acres, but does not allow
him to follow his mineral beyond his
surface boundary lines. The members
of the committee declared that there
can be no prosperity in mining interests
until relief from litigation is offered,
and they believe that when a miner is
confined to his side lines there will be
no more litigation about mining claims
than there is about agricultural lands.
The square location will enable rich
men, il. they are so disposed, to gobble
up all the land supposed to contain val
liable mines in district, as it is not
necessary, as under the present law,
that ledge be found within the boun-
diaries of the claim prior to its location,
but to acquire title to the land, $50
must be paid the Government when the
location is made, and $500 must be ex-
pended on each claim within two years
from the date of location, and ut the
expiration OF that time patent must
be applied for, and 81 80 AN acre, be-
sides the cost of proving title, paid for
the land.

Mail Matters.

For thirty -five days past and ending
yesterday, the mails sent from and
arriving at this station by rail, have
been weighed by the railroad company

the West, 1856 pounds; weight OF mail
matter delivered for the West, 1912
pounds; weight Of mail matter received
from the East, LIPS pounds; weight of
mail matter delivered for the East,
65l pounds. The largest mail received
from the West on any one day weighed
1862 pounds, and the smallest weighed
10 pounds.

En the Whole History or Medicine
No preparations has ever performed
such marvellous cures, or maintained SO
wide reputation as AYRE's CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. It's long-continued
series Of wonderful cures in all climates
has made it universally known as safe
and reliable agent to employ. Against
ordinary colds, which are the forerun-
ners Of more serious disorders, it acts
speedily and surely, always relieving
suffering, and often saving life. The
protection it affords, by its timely use
in the throat and lung disorders of
children, makes it an invaluable reme-
dy to be kept always on hand in every
home. No person can afford to be
without it, and those who have once
used it never will. From their knowl-
edge of its composition and effects,
physicians use the CHERRY PICTORIAL
extensively in their practice, and cler-
gymen recommend it, 1t is absolutely
certainuin its remedial effects and will
always cure where cures are possible.
