The Pleasure of Freezing.


 Jasper Perley, a Cattaraugus county farmer, nearly iroze to death recently When found he was insensible in the bottom of his sleigh. He was rubbed with snow and otherwise treated to re- vive the circulation After good deal of thorough manipulation and rubbing Perley was brought around, when few doses of whisky sufliced to restore him to nearly his normal condition. He thanked his restorers very heartily, and gave an account of his misfortune, which affords some inkling of the sensations of people who freeze to death. When he felt no longer able to hold the reins with any grip he determined to seek shelter in the first house until we'll warmed His tongue became stiff, then his arms; sharp chills ran down his back, and final ly 1t seemed as though his whole body was being congealed causing an almost total cessation of the hearts action. This condition of extreme suffering and de- spondency speedily gaveway to a feeling of grateful warmth, sufiusing the system and causing an exhilarating glow. By this time he had reached a house, but he drove on thinking that nothing was now to be feared. The sleigh, instead of cIiWlnE itlong il Il small pace appeared to glide through the air with great swift ness, and the horses fairly flew like pige- ons. A sense of exultation filled the Cattaraugus farmers breast as he urged the horses to still greater speed, and woods were passed so quickly that they became indistinguishable black lines. Then the sleigh bells sounded fainter and fainter, until the chimes disappeared in the distance The farmer fell gradu- ally into a delicious slumber, which came near being the sleep that knows no walk ing, and ne knew no more until brought back to life under the vigorous treat ment,

an Egg Bath.

A Paris plumber took an involuntary egg bath fortnight ago. He was re- pairing the tiles of house in the Rue Maubauee, when, his foot having slipped, he fell off the roof into the street below. Just then market gardner's cart hap pened to pass by the house, laden with baskets full of eggs and osier-cages con taining live pouitery, and the man fall ing into the midst of this lead crushed two cages, killed about a dozen fowls, and finally was engulfed in an enormous basket of eggs. When withdrawn from his liquid tomb the plumber looked like an omelette, but, excepting few slight bruises, he was safe and sound.

 and comprising sneak thieves, burglars, wile-beaters, drunkards, police resisters and all other elassers of lesser criminals. Among the whites is one, heavily built man, whom we were told had worked in the rain and sunshine bareheaded and barefooted, wearing only shirt and his pants, and was apparently the hardest working man in the gang. He was serving out a sentence of six months for stealing dog. Another of the whites was q sailor, still wearing his navy-blue shirt ttrudging with his chained leg in the swamp mud and filling his wheelbarrow, and in the same row WAS country lad of about 20.

COuch'S Predictions.

The weather for April. 1881, will
present three divisions. The first ex-
tending to the nth. The end to the
18th. The third to the close of the
month. The weather for the first di-
vision will be cool and showery. The
second quite windy and changeable.
And as We read the energies to be in
activity, the third will be warm, with
easterly to southeasterly winds pre-
vailing. giving exhibitions Of force in
the direction OF heat waves, with high
wind storms interspersed with torna-
does. The storms will be I to 2; i
to and 9 to II. From 1e to IS
there will be marked oscillations in
temperature, with three storm centers
traversing the continent. The II will
present marked change in affairs.
Bright, warm weather will set in, with
storm waves from east to south IS to
70, IL to 23 and IS to 29, with posi-
bly, marked thunder storms Fl to IS.
Auroras, earthquakes and tornado CEN
tiers are generally preceded by easter
ly to southerly winds, followed by
westerly to northerly winds. The winds
blow toward'the storm center.

SUPPLEMENTS.

The Graphic issued last week what
its publishers honestly believed to be a
genuine legitimate supplement, con-
tanning as it did d,reading matter. adver-
tising. etc, intended for the -gular is
sue. but for which there was not sutfi-
cient space without leaving out other
important matter The postal author
tiles at St. Louis, ruled differently, and
having other business there, the pub
Usher went down and on explanation
and examination of the laws and rul-
ings in such cases, paid the penalty de-
ed-sl0-rather than risk the
annoyance, expense and uncertainty, of
suit in the U. S. Court.
Now for the benefit OF our contempor-
aries. who seem interested in the mat
ter, we will say that every supplement
advertising sheet, legal advertisement,
sent out by them in the shape of an ex-
ira sheet, thousands of which have been
sent out with impunity heretofore,
subjects them to liza bill ty
of similar fine in each and every case,
and the special postal agent for tins dis
trict. Col. F. W. Shuarte informs US
that every such supplement sent out
through the post-ottice that can he fur
nished him, with the date of the paper
when sent he will make cast, and VIII
be obliged to any parties who will fun
nish them. and that when such matter
goes through by the knowledge and
consent Of the local postmaster, it is a
violation on his part and he is liable for
such violation.
We have refused in all instances to
circulate matter offered as supplements
which we're of the nature Of hand bills
though the very same matter was after
wards sent 10y both our contemporaries
with impunity.
With the present ruling it will be hard
IN determine what genuine supple,
ment is.
Now if there is any comfort for our
contemporaries, or they can find any
s,..c;al cause for fun at our expense
tb.y are welcome to all they may ex-
tract from the above.

How Grant Learned to Smoke.

Gen. Grant has explained how he
became attached to a cigar. When at
West Point he tried to join other ca
diets in smoking. but the experiment
did not agree with him, and he did not
form the habit, nor did he begin to
smoke much until he began fighting
the battles Of the war. Engaging in
all the early contests. he found The cl-
gar of some service in relieving the
mental strain upon him, and when a
battle was in progress he often had a
cigar in his mouth. but still he was not
an nveterate smoker. On other occa-
sions he probably did not smoke so
much as most men of modern indul-
gence. TO his surprise he found the
newspapers making a point of his
smoking, and very soon boxes of ex-
cellent cigars began to arrive at his
headquarters from all parts of the
country. There were SO many that
all officers attached to his immediate
service were supplied, and with such a
supply he assisted in sampling until, as
the war went on, he enjoyed his cigar
on all occasions, and has since smoked
as much as the best of men. He
thinks the newspapers influenced him
great deal on the tobacco question.

Ex-Lieutenant-Govenor Charles P.

Democratic caucus of the two houses a
few weeks since, in which he plainly
stated that theDemocratic party IN Mis-
sourl could no afford to enter the next
campaign without it having given the

and room. undoubtedly aided in bring
ing the Democratic members in that
body to recognition of the necessity Of
such action.
