A COLD WINTER ONE HUNDRED
YEARS AGO.

Such cold weather AZ this early season
OF the year has naturally turned our peo-
pie To thinking of what has occurred in
the past. Just one hundred years ago the
winter began like the present. II was the
cold winter of l779-SO. The cold then set
in the middle OF November and continued
until the middle Of February. Daring this
long period there was not warmth enough
in the suns rays To melt the snow upon
the ground, nor the icy letters OF the
ponds, creeks, and rivers. Continued
SHOWS accumulated so deep upon the
grouud that it was difficult 10 get from
place 10 place, and the ice upon the rivers
was SO thick that men, animals, wagons
and everything passed over them like roads.
The cold winds were so piercing that wild
turkeys and other fowls fell frozen from
their roosts. and the deer aud buffalo sought
the cabins of the settlers at night to shell
ter shemselyes from the blasts. All kinds
of wild animals persisted in the forests for
want OF food, which they could not get
from beneath the snow, and the Intensity
of the cold; aud the fierce wolf and pan
Their, which had only skulked about the
settlements by night, came near in broad
daylight 70 get the bones and ofial which
had been thrown from the cabins. Norain
fell, and the pioneers had TO obtain water
for drinking and cooking and washing by
the melting Of snow and ice. The rivers
were frozen over with ice thick enough to
be used as highways, and even as low down
as Nashville the Cumberland river was
frozen over with ice thick enough for the
safe passage Of emigrant trains. Further
north, the Delaware at Philadelphia had
ice three feet in thickness, and Chesapeake
Bay and Long Island Sound were frozen
over

HARTFORD. - Having received some
choice tea from Prof. l.. W. Mason, who
saw 1t gathered and cured ON the outskirts
of Toxic, Japan, by the ladies, who make
their own tea from their tea gardens, they
doing the whole themselves, / said it
would not be stepped until James A. Gar
field was chosen president OF the United
States. By placing the tea In a glass ves-
sci, it proved political barometer to many
of both sexes who saw the tea, and were
alive to the coming election. Some would
exclaim, 1.-The tea will never be stepped; y
others. at will be only a question Of
time" On Thanksgiving eve, party of
nineteen OF both sexes, including eleven
Good Templars, partook at my residence
of the tea well STEPPED, from which l
learned this sentiment: If Garfeld's adj
ADMINISTRATION shows the strength and flavor
of the tea, We shall have happy nation.

tainty there will be nothing done by III,
Democrats looking To necessity for

There will be a strong pressure brought

mature within the next six months, and
should they adjourn without making pro-
vision for these bonds, the majority will
be held responsible, and an extra session

There is but little talk about the tariff

there may be an attempt 10 modify and

done, but for the strong opposition or

III legislation; and desire the whole mat
ter shall be relegated To the next Congress.
The busy tide of preparation for the meet
ing OF Congress Is manifest at the Capitol.
The Clerk and employees of the House and
Senate are mostly here, and many members
are seen about the Committee rooms.
Speaker Randall is here, and visited his
room on the House side today. He says
this will be moderately exciting session,
what will excite members he does not cX-
plain.
The amount of business now on the cal
ender of the House, is unprecedented. The
new rules that were framed with the view
OF expediting legislation, have proved an
utter failure, and it is safe to say, that they
will be modified and changed at an early
date.
There are more than two hundred bills
pending in the committee OF the whole, all
involving the expenditure of money, or do
nation of public property. There are bills
affecting the revenue. the coinage, pensions,
Postal service and public printing, not TO
mention the many aud various miscellan-
eous bills. The bill for the election of a
public printer will not be passed; for with
the Republican majority in the next Con-
gress, the Democracy would reap no ad-
vantage. 1t was originally intended as q
reward TO the owner OF the organ OF the
majority in the House and Senate. That
majority has suddenly disappeared, and
with its downfall and disappearance, has
passed away the necessity for a change
and the public printer may sleep in peace.

FATE's SPTrE.-There is in Detroit today
a man who was wounded five times in less
than ten minutes at Fair Oaks. The first
bullet entered his left arm the second gave
him scalp-wound; the third hit him in
the foot; the fourth buried itself In his
shoulder, aud the fifth entered his right leg.
While he was being carried to the rear, the
first two men who took him were killed.
While his wounds were being dressed, an
exploding shell almost buried him under
an avalanche of dirt. In being removed
further to the rear, runaway ambulance
horse carried him half mile and dumped
him out, and yet today he is seemingly hale
and hearty, and walks without limp.
