Justice Comegeys TO the Delaware grand
jury. He does not regard the charge as I'M
Christian, but on the contrary, that the law
Of Delaware against blasphemy is in exact
accord with the Bible, and that the pillory,
the whipping-post, and the suppression Of
free speech are the natural fruit of the Old

Great Loss Of Cattle on the Plains.

The severe winter has been disastrous to the
cattle interests from the Rio Grande to the
British possessions. While all estimates are all
mere speculations and guess work, intelligence
from accessible regions indicate great probable
loss, and the gravest fears are entertained that
the thickly populated pasture lands of Montana,
Idaho and Oregon may be strewn with carcasses
by the time spring opens: William Parton of
Omaha, who has Is 900 head Of cattle on the
North Platte, expects to lose from 500, 900 to
$4,000 by the storm and cold, or about half
of his entire herd, J. McShone of the same
place has 10000 head about 100 miles west
ward, and expects 10 lose from 20 to 80 per
cent aeHgh he a pos the Gara cattle may
measure, they will be protected from the wind
It is confidently believed that cattle west Of Sid
ney and north Of Cheyenne have not suffered
greatly, though experienced ranchmen would
not be surprised to Learn that the death rate
reaches SO per cent on the exposed ranches Of
the North Platte.

is, I have spent 100000, and have not got

A Hard Winter Everywhere.
From the Philadelphia Press.

A talk about the weather is always in or
der even if it is confessedly zine dav. {"
Such weather as story in another column
tells Of naturally, therefore, gives material
for much and proper comment The
story as told is necessarily incomplete.
Pages rather than columns would be needed
to describe the actual effects of the storm
Of last month. which literally went around
the world, and only few Of the most salient
features could be taken in order to give
even slight idea of the track and effect of
the storm. From the story as told the ef-
fects upon business, life and property
caused by a series of storms can easily be
imagined. Snow twenty feet deep in Eng
land and all the rivers of the country over
flowing their banks in Spain is something
unheard of as the result of one storm, and
it is fortunate for the jewellers in those
countries that such a happening takes
place only once in q lifetime.
