The tobacco revenue business
has got down to such a fine point,
that if one person lets another
take a chew of his tobacco, and
then receives in payment therefor
a pipe full of smoking tobacco, he
is defrauding the government, un-
less he has paid five dollars for q
license.

The Blizzard.

Those real cold weather spells
that visit this locality every once
in awhile have their birth place in
Manitoba, one of the British North
American provinces. How long
Uncle Sam will allow Canada to be
sending her chilly blasts into this
country, we do not know, but if
he has any grit about him, he will
put a revenue tax on those biz
yards and thus prevent their free
importation. The cold waves when
they leave Manitoba, strike for
Lake Michigan, but meeting the
moist atmosphere Of that lake,
they are turned southwark and
make the people of Indiana and
the citizens of adjoining States re-
member Manitoba in their bene-
dictions.
At this place, the coolest part of
the aerial wave is not experienced,
so that the temperature is higher
at Alpena than in many places
hundreds of miles to the south of
it.
The following will show how the
thermometer ranged at various
places during the occurrence of
the cold wave, on the early part of
last week:
Alpena, at the coolest only show
ed 10 below zero.
On the Goth, at Chicago, it was
% below zero; at Milwaukee 10;
Dubuque, %; Des Moines, II.
At st. Louis, Mo, it was Is be-
low, while at Deadwood, d. IT,, it
was 80 below, and at Atchison,
Kansas, Chat blessed Kansas) it
reached 20 below.
IL seems that the most part of
Michigan was very much favored,
while States farther south suffered
from the extreme cold. The Po-
tomac, at Washington, was frozen
from shore to shore.
Seven degrees below zero at
Louisville, Ky, on the %, and at
Baltimore, Md, it was the coolest
that it had been for many years,
the mercury indicating six below.
Twenty below at TT. Wayne,
Indiana, and cattle and other do
nestle stock were frozen to death.
At Macon and Columbus, Ga,
the thermometer indicated nearly
at zero, and there was more snow
on the ground than ever before
known in that State. For the
first time in the history of the
State the people rugged up tenn
porary sleighs, and took a general
holiday.
At Danville, Va, the snow was
very deep, and roads blockaded.
Ten below at Cincinnati.
Fifteen inches Of snow at Green's
bro, N. C.
AT Montgomery, Ala, the snow
was the heaviest ever known, while
the weather was extremely cold.
Five below zero at Sherman,
Texas.
IL below at Elmira, N. Y.
IL below at Albany, N. Y.
II at Cleveland, O.
10 at Detroit.
10 at Port Huron.
AT Jackson, Florida, on the Both,
the weather was the coolest since
1857. Oranges were frozen on the
trees.

ator from Virginia, Malone, is being
discussed by the political newspapers
Of the country. While he has not pro.
claimed that he will act with the Re-
publican party on National questions,
he has indicated plainly his purpose to
turn his back upon the Democratic
party and its traditions. He says that
his party, the Readjusters, coming into
full control Of Virginia will favor free
suffrage for all men, free education for
all children, an impartial administra-
ton Of the laws, and an honest sub
to the results of the war.

Both Houses of the Kansas Legisla-
ture organized at noon last Tuesday,
electing the officers as agreed upon by
the Republican caucus. The following
are the officers of the Senate:
Secretary, Henry Brindley, of Chase.
Assistant Secretary, E. w. Way
nant, of Marshall.
Sergeant-at-Arlns, E. D. r. Smith,
of Linn.
Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms, John
A. Fulton, of Brown.

fey.

Pages, Clarence Fleisher, of Atch-
isOn Earl Brown, of Cloud; Sidney
Matheney, of Rawlins, and w. E.
Douglass, of Butler.
In the House the following officers
were elected:
J. B. Johnston, Of Shawnee, speaker.
The vote in the convention being 81 to
80 for o. S. Munsell, and 8 scattering.
n. Green, of Riley, speaker pro tenn.
w. w. Walton, chief clerk by accla-

clerk.
D. T. Hosteter, of Cloud, docket
clerk.
F. @. Hunt, Of Winfield, journal
clerk.
William Higgins, Of Labette, SER
geant-at-arms.
II is probable the committees will
not be announced before the first of
next week.
The election of State Printer will
take place next Tuesday, and the con-
test is between Geo. w. Martin, pres
ent incumbent, and T. Dwight
Thatcher, of the Lawrence Journal.
They are both good men. Mr.. Martin
has held the Office of State Printer for
eight years, and this is one of the
strongest arguments of those who are
opposed to his reelection. He has
been an able and efficient officer, and
if again elected will doubtless prove as
faithful in the future as he has in the
past. Mr.. Thatcher is one of the
pioneers Of Kansas, and is perfect
gentleman, a thorough scholar and a
man Of great ability, who would fill
with credit to himself and honor to the
Commonwealth any position within
the gift of either the people or the Leg
islature Of the State of Kansas.
