Was there ever year without ils season OF
unprecedented heat or cold, storms or
drought2 We do not positively know that
the temperature Of the two middle months Of
March has been "upprecedentedly" low, but
it has been cold enough TO give us kindly
feeling towards the south. The intense cold
Of the past two weeks is seldom equaled even
in mid-winter. There is a great contrast be-
tween this month and the month Of March in
some Of our earlier seasons. We have had
bees at work bringing in pollen from the will
low and alder catkins on the 27th day OF
March, and few days later have found he
paticas in blossom. Frogs have been heard
in March, and yellow violets have been found
early in April Our experience thus far in
this month the present year does not lead us
to believe that we shall listen to the humming
OF the busy bees or gather many violets next
week but spring may come suddenly and
the first OF May be as forward as It usually is.
The state Of New Hampshire is quite eX-
tensively engaged in the woodchuck business.
One hundred and ten thousand dead wood
ohucks since June /, 1884, is the result Of the
war which the boys have waged against them,
instgated by the state bounty of ten cents a
head. Even grasshoppers are not permitted
to live in peace in the old Granite state.
There has been paid 1907 for 9O7 bushels of
their dead bodies. Crows to the number of
5,O25 have forfeited their lives by presuming
to fly into New Hampshire II there is no
typographical or other error in the report
which is our authority, only $50 foxes and IS
hawks have suffered death at the expense Of
the state. The law giving bounty on foxes,
crows and hawks has been repealed, but a
bounty Of ten cents each will be paid on
woodchucks, and 81 for each bushel of grass
hoppers. II the salary of one or two surplus
judges was taken to pay for catching wood
chucks and grasshoppers in Vermont the pub
lie benefit would be greater.

Moreover, those privileges which the

tant. With these privileges .aken
away, the tenure Of land changed and
its transfer simplifed, the British aris-
tocracy will plainly be doomed, even
as a socially superior class. The idea
that the most outrageous set Of scoun.
drels in England are to enjoy pc
culiar privileges in spite Of their
scoundralism is apt to be abhorrent to
the new constituencies and a goodly
portion of the old And the effect Of
the disclosures now made is to create
the belief that the aristocracy are such
a set of scoundrels.

Gen. Grants Disease.

% Gen. Logan has been to visit Gen.
Grant, and makes the most sensible
diagnosis of the old generals disease
that has yet been made. He says it is
not cancer, but that it is scrofulous
Affection of the throat. While Gen.
logan is unskilled in the use of med
ical language and consequently not
familiar with technical and scientific
terms, his simple explanation Of Gen.
Grants trouble will strike common
sense people a a thousand fold more
satisfactory and ineligible than all
the doctors have written or said about
it. The disease is scrofula, and every
knows what that is. That it will
prove fatal there can be no question.
The change to the mountains may
possibly bring relief to the sufferer,
but the chances are that it will hasten
his death. 1t is probable that Grant
went up to the mountains to die just
as Garfield was taken to the sea shore
to breathe his lie away. The fact
that the mind of the patient is unset
tied and wanders back to the most
stirring Scenes Of his eyentful life is Of
itself a pretty sure indication Of rapidly
approaching dissolution
There is something pathetic in the
old hero's delusion--that he is back
on the field Of battle at thes head of
his victorious army again. For a mo-
ment the wasted form of the invalid
soldier is fired with the .old-time life
and energies Of war. Again he sees
abattle's magnifcently stern array
the diapason of the canponade falls
upon his ear, the kissing dead-shots fly
through the ar, he sees the waving
pennons as column after column adj
vances to The combat, and all aglow
with the martial scene, and extends
his hand as if it bore a sword and
shouts to the advancing column,
."Come on, come on, forward, steady
Overcome by the delerious excitement,
the exhausted invalid sinks back into
his chair, but the feverish mind still
fingers on the scene Of battle; for as a
thrill of pain from the affected throat
shoots along the side Of his face, and
as the feeble hand is quickly raised he
is heard to mutter, Il have been struck
by SHE'LL 1t recalls the scene of
Napolean Bonaparte's death on the
lonely island of St Helena, when the
soul Of the great soldier started on its
eternal voyage through the. gloom and
the storm shouting "tete d'armee. {"
or that of the famous Stonewall j ack-
son, the Christian soldier, whose mill
tary skill aud soldierly courage were
only surpassed BY his deep seated piety,
whose mind in its delifium, like Gen.
Grants, wandered to hle army ne had
commanded, and, after he had given
various0rders to his subordinates about
the disposition of their various COM
mands, suddenly, as il, experiencing a
feeling Of pity fQr his veterans who
we're worn out with long and tiresome

THE drift Of democratic civil service
reform is well illustrated by the APP
pointment of a postmaster at Mankato
last week. The incumbent, editor Of
the local republican organ, was re-
moved for offensive partisanship" and
the editor of the local democratic
organ, partisan Of twenty-five years
standing, was appointed ii his stead.
Again, at Des Moines, Iowa, Capt.
L w. Griffith, a one-armed soldier of
the Mexican war, has been displaced
as deputy revenue collector by an able
bodied greenbacker. And a Yankton
dispatch says that w. s. Bowen, whose
suspension from the Office of post
master at that place is To. take effect
upon the qualification Of his democrat
ic successor, has been an offensive
partisan from an early age lie en-
tered the army when only eighteen,
and served throughout the war as a
private in the Twelfth Wisconsin bat
terry, artillery brigade, fifteenth army
corps. Bowen's first commission as
postmaster was made out near Atlanta,
Ca, Nov. la, 1864, being appointed
brigade postmaster. Bowen r7as a
brave soldier and has been an earnest
republican since. For ten years he
has edited the Yankton Press and
Dakotain, one of the leading news.
papers of the territory. The eaice he
filed acceptably to the people Of both
parties goes to i. D. Palmer, an old
timer among the northwestern de-
'mocracy and a rabid copperhead dur
ing the war. Palmers reasonable ut
terances at that period will be remenl-
bered BY old residents Of Sioux City.
For his loyalty to the confederate
cause, he is now rewarded, but the pill
is bitter to soldiers, both democratic
and republican.

themselves over the new postal law recently put

the taking of a newspaper and a refusal to pay
for the same theft. and any person guilty Of
such an action is liable for criminal proceedings,
the same as though he had stolen goods to the
amount of the subscription. Hereafter it will
not be considered very shrewd scheme to take
