The CLEVELAND Ledder considers
the River and IIarbor bill II much
more commendablc measure than the
last one. 1t has the merit, at any
rate, of much greater freedom from
sectional Determinations. North and
South alike appear to be equitably
provided for, excepting, perhaps, rs
to New York, where there is
"kick." 1t won't do for Congress to
disregard the claims of the Empire
State at this particular iuncture, and
a Democratic committee, Of all others,
should have seen that they were
recognized clear up to the maximum.

We EXTEND TO General Pleasanton
our sincere congratulations upon the
passage by the House of the bill pro-
viding for his retirement, with the
rank Of Colonel. 1t is a deserved,
though tardy, recognition of gallant
services, which no one was more
ready to acknowledge than General
Hooker of Mississippi, whose kindly
and generous speech was the feature
of last evenings consideration of the
bill.
The PRESIDENT does not object to
the Indians being taught religion in

seasonable Stories.

Stories of marvellous snowstorms will be
in order now for some time. Boston, which
has been dug ont the quickest, leads off with
an account Of the great storm of Feb II,
17l7, remarkable dates it Sill be noticed)
which is published by the Transcript of that
city. That snow storm lasted seven days, so
we are told, and when II ceased the average
depth OF snow was ten feet, while the drifts
were all the way from len to fifteen feet
high. Cottages, cabins aud log huts were
buried, and the mai from Boston to Ports
mouth, which was sent out during the storm,
was ten days on the way. Like the Heglra
of the Arabs and the Emancipation of the
negroes of the South, the great storm was
for years a date-mark with the old people OF
New England. 1t was about as memorable
as the "cold year '16'' which ninety nine
years later left ON the people of Maine an
impression that is not yet wholly etfaceo.
An incident of the l717 storm is worth men,
tioning, though it does not bear directly on
the depth of snow. NE lost at the Island
and farm" writes Hon. John Winthrop,
"eleyen hundred sheep besides horses and
cattle. 1t was very strange that twenty
eight days after the storm, the people of
Fisher Island, in digging out the remains Of
one hundred sheep, found two of them alive,
which had kept themselves alive BY feeding
upon the wool Of Others OF a severe storm
in 1794 in Scotland when tho snow fell in
one night to depth of over eight
feet, the drifts in some places covering
tail trees is told marvellous story,
even more wonderful than that recorded by
the Hon. John Winthrop. 1t is said that
after the storm had ahased there we're
found. collected together in one spot by its
violence, two men. one woman, forty-fve
dogs, three horses, nine cattle, a hundred
and eighty hares anl eighteen hundred and
forty sheep. Large storms and wonderful
stories are not the peculiar property OF
Dakota and the West, though the people of
New England and the Middle States are not
yet ready to admit that there are more ap-
propriate in those regions.

A Noble Life.

The most important news brought by the
re-opening of communications west is OF tile
death Of Henry Bergh, which occurred in
New York ON Monday. A man OF fortune
and culture, diplomatist and an author, 1T
will not be either for his personal qualities
or a ,hievements in diplomacy and literature
that he will be remembered, but for a humble
reform that he began about twenty years
ago. While travelling in Europe in 1864, the
cruelties perpetrated upon dumb animals
first arrested his attention and he determined
to devote his life to the work OF protecting
them. The fortune which his father, an old
New York shipbuilder of German ancestry,
had left to him fortunately relieved him
from the poverty that has SO often ham
pered the work of great reformers. Alone
opposed and ridiculed, he began to speak, to
lecture, to work on the streets, in court
rooms and in the Hobbies of the Legislature
In not single State or Territory was there
law 20 punish the man who abused dumb
animal When, on April 10th, 1866, the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals was legally organized in New York,
it was the beginning of movement as novel
in itself as twas to be successful in practice.
At present forty States and Territories have
adopted laws similar to those originally pro-
cured by him from the Legislature of New
York. 1t was only last winter that the
Legislature of Maine granted charter OF
incorporation to Maine Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In Bra
iii and the Argentine Republic even, the
movement has become established. From
the time he undertook the reform until the
day of his death, Mr.. Bergh devoted the
whole of his time to the work. with the res.
suit that the Society is to-day self sustain
ing and out of debt. In 1874, the hardshps
of little girl whom he rescued from i'll
treatment drew his attention to another re-
form, and he established the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. 1t was
Mr. Bergll's good fortune to live to see
the movement which he started receive in
the whole country the sanction Of the laws
and approval of society.

The proclamation of the new German En-
peror breathes liberal and pacific spirit
Perhaps the most notable thing in it is his
promise of protection of the Jews, race
that Bismarck hates and that received very
scanty justice during the reign of the dead
Kaiser. The tone of the proclamation has
intensified the sorrow which the people feel
on account Of the Emperor's physical condi-
ton, and universal praise of the prcclama-
ton is accompanied with universal regret
that the author of it is not likely to live to
enforce its promises, and that in a few weeks
turned over to a man whose character is
little understood and whose accession to the
throne is looked forward to with gloomy
forebodings.

A new treaty with China has just been
signed. 1t prohibits entrance of Chinese
laborers to this country during a period Of
twenty years, but allows Cinnamon having
property amounting to $1,000 or more to go
to China and return to this country on prov
ing these facts. Our attempts to keep out John
Cinnamon by legislation have not proved
very successful. Perhaps with China to help
us John can be more effectually excluded.
But it must be borne in mind that about all
the Chinese ports from which the emigrants
sail are in the hands of the English.
