Charles Dudley Warner, In Harper's Magazine.
A great deal has been said about the effect of
climate upon intellect and not much of the eff
feet of intellect upon climate, or, to be more ex-
act, of the power in mental activity to resist or
control climatic influences Some philosophers
have held that there is an occult sympathy be-
tween mind and matter, and that great accum-
ulation of mind upon one point-that is to say,
the direction of strong current of desire for or
against some operation of nature--would be eff
tective. For instance, if all the people in a wide
district suffering under drought should unite in
a common longing, sincere mental struggle,
for rain, that nature would feel the subtle infu-
ence through all its being, and rain would come
Unfortunately the experiment has never been
tried, for common consent at any moment never
has been attained-there is always somebody
who has hay out.
But this at least we can say, that it is safer to
have the desire of the general mind in the right
direction. Now Two of the vulgar notions of
this latitude are that we need "bracing up,
and that snow is a useful product. consequently
that the more severe cold weather we have and
the more snow, the better off we are. And
people go on believing this to their deaths every
year. AS to snow, there is a sentimental notion
of its beauty as well as of its utility. And a
good deal can be said for it from an artistic
point OF view. But we are not placed In this
stern world merely to indulge our sensuousness.
We are put here to make the most of our pow
ers, in view of hereafter; and long life is a
duty, besides being in the Old Testament
view, reward of virtue Il is probably
necessary to have snow at the poles in order
to keep the poles cool, and insure proper
circulation and change of air round the
globe, just as it is necessary to keep
the equator so hot that it is as unpleasant to sit
on it as on kitchen stove. Snow, indeed, might
do little harm in q land where the sun never
shone But in this region, where the sun does
shine, where half the winter days are clear, the
only effect of the presence of snow is to fill the
atmosphere with chilling moisture lung fever,
pneumonia. and that sort OF thing. The pleas

A Cheap Filter.

Take good-sze fiower-pot and chip out the
bottom hole 10 such an extent that the corner of
n half brick can project through it. Break up
some other bricks into fragments about the size
of Spanish nuts, and pack them into the pot
until it IS three parts full. Soak the whole in a
pail of water over night, and then let it drain
dry. The filter is now ready for work. Allow
the water from the supply to drip on the broken
bricks and after few hours the water which
runs from the portion of the brick projecting at
the bottom will be as pure as it can well be
made. Even this filter will require cleansing
occasionally, but that is easily done, or new
one made for cost is not in this instance a
consideration. Those bricks known rs we'll

THE LEss0N.-The ancient Israelites were u
gross and unspiritual people, and little beyond
children in understanding They continually
relapsed from the worship of Jehovah into the
worship of idols. To reprove their stupidity,
jeremiah brought some of the Rechabite ref
ugees into the temple Enclosures. The exclu-
sveness of the Israeites at that time was not so
great as it was afterward; and the presence of
the Kenites was not, therefore, offensive Here

they had infexible will aud purpose. Accord

wine to drink they scornfully refused, saying,

Gainsborough's Animals.


In one thing Gainsborough beats Sir Joshua
wholly out of the field, and that is in animals.

dog in the portrait of Miss Cholmondely cross

horses ever painted in a portrait, which is say
ing good deal. And think of the animals in

of the team in the Harvest Wagon" or any of
his cattle and sheep: to say nothing of the inn
petuous energy and veracity of his Fighting
Dogs" which recall even Snyders Beside these
Reynoidss animals seem no more than essays in
taxidermy. And the contrast marks the differ
ence between the two men; the one trained
in the studio and the gallery, and viewing
mainly society of aristocrats; the other, for the
most part, self-taught in the woods and fields,
learning there the characters and habits of liv-
ing things enamored by the earth and air, and
sympathizing with rustic souls and the strong
joys of unsophisticated Countrywide.

southeast of the Dead sea. They confirmed the

Correspondence OF the Prince of wales.


william Howard Russell, in Harper's Magazine
The amount of correspondence to be carried
on at Sandringham, Marlborough House, Os-
borne Cottage or wherever the Prince may be,
is, as Sir Dighton Probyn, Mr.. Francis Knollys,
and the equerry in waiting for the time being
we'll know, colossal In magnitude and eXtraordi-
narily various in its nature, and it would tax pa
thence and credulity to give an account of the
contents, in all languages, of some of his letter
bags. The Prince may say, "Princeps sum, at
non supra grammaticam." He is a favorite mark
for begging-letter writers and inventors, and
wonderful pains and trouble must be taken
by his secretaries in sitting the wheat from the
chaff and in getting at the truth of the stories
of the applicants for his bounteous assistance
Once there came in by one mail to the Hotel
Bristol in Paris where he was at the time, in
addition to score Of the ordinary sort of beg
ging letters, petition from an old lady for a
dot for her lovely daughter, aged eighteen, the
child Of an old officer who had left his family in
much distress; a request from mechanic that

take header into the Seine to test its merits

ventor, Jaural ma fortune assuree;' q demand
for loan of 10, 600 francs to enable student in
natural history to 90 on an chronological excur
sion to South America; proposal that he should
join the applicant in an experimental vineyard in
the Vosges; an entreaty that he would enable a
working jeweler to redeem his lathe and tools
Needless to say, he is also assailed by theignobe
Z
and by the crack-brained prophets dealing
in menaces Of death and of eternal destruction
on various theological or political bases, who,
with the writer's of threatening letters, form
very considerable legion. From every capital
and court in Europe there comes also the i'm
portant though unofficial correspondence by
which the Prince of Wales adds daily to his
knowledge of the secret forces which move and
direct the policy of states. There are, more
over. the special business of the Duchy of Corn
wall and regimental affairs in the corpS of which
he is colonel, which are closely investigated by
the Prince. Divided in his affection for the two
services he naturally gives the greater share of
his attention to that in which he holds rank, and
in which he was reared and trained. A portion of
his time is also devoted to the interests of the Ma
sonic body, the increase and vitality of which, in
England. owe much to his care and patronage:
and the Royal College of Music, the numerous
institutions of which he is patron or chief, and
innumerable charities and societies which he en-
courages and aids, make their several demands
on the life of the busiest man in Europe, and
have their claims allowed.

writing has made it impossible for such as he to
be accepted at their true worth His critical
writing has been largely done in the pages of the

Busy Day in Both City and Superior
COurts-The O'Reiily- PhuRer Case to
be Called To-Day.
At the meeting of the Superior Court
yesterday Judge Adams rendered his de-
cision refusing a new trial in the cases
against j. A. aud Patrick Callahan, each
of whom were convicted some time ago
on the charge Of misdemeanor in keeping
open a tipping house on the Sabbath day.
The arguments on the motion for new
trials were heard a few weeks ago and the
court reserved decision until yesterday.
The negro James Harris, who was COM
mitted TO jail two or three days ago for
contempt of court in failing to respond to
the rule requiring him to pay allmony,
was discharged yesterday by order of the
court under q supercedeas order for 30
days, it having been shown that the prts-
oner was seriously i'll and that to con1ne
him would probably jeOpardze his life.
The court will meet this morning at 10
O'Clock, when the grand jury will be
present. Among other business which is
assigned for a hearing is the case of the
State against James O'ReillY, who Is
charged with the murder OF Emil Pfuger.
At former trial of the prisoner the jury
failed to agree and mistrial was de-
clared
