Cold Weather and Heal;h-It ha

been fact SO often conceded that the colder
the weather is during the winter season the
more healthy the atmosphere is, that tie ma
jority of people have learned to look upon
frost and cold as 4 general blessing Wheth-
er this is SO or not We will, from present indi-
cations, have 7in opportunity ofjudgng. The
eli nate in this country has changed very
much within the past half century, and our
winters ne, longer begin with the advent Of
November, as they once did. AS a rule, we
nv'er have any bitterly cold weather until to-
ward the FIRST OF January, and this winter has
been no exception TO the rule. Since that
time, however, the Eros; King has fully sus-
tanned his reputation, and cold sleet and
ct run have feigned supreme. More predic-
tons are coming to US, too, ota continuance
of this condition, the only fortunate thing
about it being that in these days we are
warned in time to make all possible prepara-
ton for it.

Blaine a Know-Nothing.

TO the Editor Of the n. Y. World
The Republican candidate for President,
Mr.. James G. Blaine, in a letter of October
4, 1884, says: SIT is utterly untrue that
ever advocated residence of twenty one
years as requirement of naturalization. On
the contrary, [ always opposed the party that
suggested it." Does Mr.. Blaine mean to say
that he was never connected or in any way
identified with the so-called Know Nothing
party-or, as Henry Wilson called it, the
American party-or that he ever belonged to
Know-Nothing lodge or council? If so, he
must have very poor memory Of the past.
When the Know Nothing party was in full
operation in Massachusetts, and they elected
Henry Gardner Governor, was member of
Bigelow Lodge or Council in Boston, and on
two occasions | saw Mr.. Blaine at our meet
ings, and he spoke at them and strongly adj
vocated the party's principles, showing that
he was a member, as no one was admitted
but members
One of the strongest planks or principles of
the party or order was that NO FOREIGNER
should be allowed to vote till he had resided
in the United States TWENTY ONE YEARS, the
same as those born here. Mr.. Blaine also
wrote articles for the American Know. Moth
ing, newspaper in Boston with which | was
connected. These are facts that can be
easily proved, if men will be honest and tell
the truth. w. A. II. SILLowAY,

The Mulligan Letters.

When the Mulligan letters, showing Blaine 5
official corruption, were published recently,
the Plumed Knight said there was nothing in
them Inconsistent with the highest honor and
integrity That was Blaine's buster, for in
1880 he asked Warren Fisher-his ''My Dear
Fisher''-to get the letters from Mulligan,
even if he had to pay $4,000 for them. II
there was nothing in them inconsistent with
the highest honor and integrity, why did
Blaine desire to possess them, even at cost
of $4,000? Why did he steal several from
Mulligan in Washington? Why did he, on
his knees, beseech and implore Mulligan to
save him and his family from dishOnor?
In regard to Blaines anxiety concerning
the purchase of the Mnlligan letters, Warren
Fisher, under date of Windsor. Vermont, July
IL, 1884, wrote as follows to Gustave kobbe,
well known politician of New York city;
s'In April or May of 1880 Blaine sent word
TO have me meet him at Fifth Avenue Hotel
He then authorized me to get the letters from
Mulligan, pay $40, 200 if could not get them
for less, and then wanted Mr.. NJ. and myself
10 go to Europe, remain until after election;
all at his expense. Mr.. Mulligan declined
the offer. He said Blaine had stolen his
letters in Washington, and he never should
have what he held at any price.
