Snow in English Country Districts.

IL. }. Jennings London Letter to the New York
World
In the part of the country which T
knew best snow is not frequent visitor
even IN hard winters, but it was not
spared from the tremendous storm of
last tuesday. L went out early in the
morning, (not happening to be in Lon
don that day., but found it impossible
to stand before the fury of the blast,
charged as it was with particles of driv-
ing snow as hard as bullets. Before
evening most of the familiar landmarks
had been effaced. Roads were on a level
with the hedges, and one old road
was completely filled in, to the depth OF
at least ten or twelve feet. It forms a
long narrow cleft in billy region, and
the snow has drifted into it and piled it.
self into all sorts of fantastic shapes.
In one place it resembles the waves of
the sea trmbling III upon the shore; in
another it lay in well-modeled strata,
like section OF the earth's surface.
huge masses of snow overhung a steep
bank above, and the scene had some
tnlng Wild and terrible about it, espe-
clally when the sun went down behind
the hills and the short January twilight
quickly closed in. One could under
stand how easily belated traveller
IN the darkness could be caught in such
storm and buried alive beneath the
snow. That night the frost was again
intense, and upon going into my garden
early on the following morning I found
two or three dead birds. and picked ND
blackbird stupefed with cold and hun
ger. Starlings, robins, thrushes and
blackbirds were soon assembled around
an ample feast spread for them in front
OF my library window. During the day
they displayed so much confidence in
me that wnen opened the door to carry
out fresh supply they advanced more
than half way to meet me, and one par
tlcular robin stood at my very feet for
his share. One song from the biackbird
or the thrush is worth more than all [
threw out. [ found foxes tracks up to
the very doors of my poultry-house, but
having arrived there Master Reynard
was fam to turn empty away. Hares
and rabbits came down from the hillside
almost to Che garden in search of food

An IriSllman'S Wit.

When Jackson was President,
Jimmy O'Niel, the Irish door keep
er OF the White House, was IL
marked character. He had his fol
bles, which often offended the fastid-
iousness Of the Presidents nephew
and secretary, Mai. Done1son, who
caused his dismissal on an avera &c
of about once week. But, on ap-
peal to the higher conrt, the YER
dict was always reversed by the
good old general. Once, however,
Jimmy was guilty Of some hagrant
otfense, and, being summoned be-
fore the President himself, was thus
addressed: "Jimmy, | have borne
with you for years, in spite of all
complaints; but this goes beyond
my powers of endurance" "And
do you believe the story ?" asked
Jimmy. "Certainly,' answered the
General; "I have Just heard it
from two Senator's "Faith," re.
torted Jimmy, ':if | believed all
that twenty Senators say about
you, it's little I'd think you was tit
to be President" ''Pshaw, Jimmy
concluded the General, ''clear out
and so hack to your duty, but be
more careful hereafter" Jimmy
not only retained his place to the
close of Jackson's Presidential term
Ebut accompanied him back to the
Hermitage, and Was with him tt
the day of his death.

is pretty good indication of the
condition OF the country's general
business. During 1880, according
to the figures just made up by the
American Iron and Steel Associa-
ton, the total output of pig iron
was 4,2o5,2l4 tons, against 1000,
S75 tons in 1879, an increase ,224,
$50 net tons. Each State where
iron is made, except West Virginia,
increased its product; and the area
of iron producing territory was ex-
tended so as to include Minnesota
and Colorado. Iron is now made
in twenty three States, and Califor-
MIA and Washington Territory are
about ready, to be added to the list.
