Hugh Wilson, Esq
1 enclose herewith copy of recent letter to
Marshal Boykin, which hope you will pub.
lish as containing the last and final determi-
nation by this office Of the witness and Jurors
claims matter.
There is no doubt in my mind but that the
breaking up of this business of trading in the
claims OF witnesses will be attended with
good results in various ways. These claims
may be said to have their origin with the
Commissioners, Deputy Marshals, and others
who work up the cases and determine what
and how many persons shall be summoned as
witnesses, &c. and to permit traffic TO exist
whereby these officers and their friends and
coadjutors shall trade in the claims thus
growing out Of their work is simply outrage
Gus; and hence the determination Of this Of
fee to lay the axe at the root OF the whole
matter.
The destruction. Of this traffic. however,
seems to 60 to the heart Of some OF the mar
shals even, as we'll as Of other persons, since
several OF them came on here In person to en-

A Suggestion Which Doesn't Scare

The Neps and Courier seems to think that a
great calamity would befall the people II the
banks were to invest their surplus In bonds
OF the State. We believe such course would
be the best turn possible. If this large de-
mand for our bonds could be created now, II
is quite possible that the State could float a
threeand-a. half per cent. bond. If then our
interest could be reduced from six to three
and.a-haif per cent, a saving to the taxpayer
OF an immense amount would be at once ef'
fected.

Sun Dogs i'm West Virgins.

A view Of the western sky at
sunset last evening (Jan. 19) was
well calculated to excite grave
fears In the mind of a drinking man
that he was threatened with very
violent attack of d. T. There was
every indication that nature had
suddenly provided compile ofextra
suns, and that all three were going
behind the horizon in n row, amid
a display of tints which would have
done credit to a first class out
break of aurora borealis. The bogus
suns were about 80 deg. N. and s.
of the real one, and it was hard to
distinguish the true from the false.
The sight attracted general atten-
ton, and there were many surmises
as to what was wrong with the
machinery Of the heavens.
The phenomena was what sailors
who traverse high latitudes call a
"sun dog and is brought about by
some peculiar condition of the at
mosphere not well understood by
scientists. The most probable cause
is that the rays of light are reflect
ed or refracted by passing through
particles of ice in the higher atmos-
phere, the result beiug to some-
times give the spectator the i'm
preston of several suns, as was the
case last night, while at other
times bright circles or crosses are
formed in the sky, always in the
quarter in which the sun happeus
to be, Instances are on record
where the sun has appeared to arctic
explorers surrounded by half a
dozen other suns, all as bright as
the real one, while intertwined
among them would be a number of
rings and bands of white light of a
very beautiful appearance.
Last evening, after the sun had
disappeared beneath the horizon,
there remained behind tall band
of white light, which was visible
for al hour after the disappearance
of the lulninary, and later in the
evening the moon was surrounded
by curious set Of rings.-From the
Wheeling Register.

What A Blizzard is.

A person ought to have gained a
clear idea of what a blizzard is
after reading this extract from the
Toronto Globe:
A blizzard is simply a strong,
cold wind moving unchecked over
leagues of light, unpacked snow. 1t
sweeps up that which has previo-
usly fallen, carries it away in the
color of ~ vast shaken fleece, dis
tributes it so that each atmospheric
atom has its little particle, and
drives along all with a steady fury.
Whether fresh snow is falling can
seldom be determined by people
out in a real blizzard. AS far as the
eye can see upward, and that is but
a little space, the hurry of minute
pellets hurying through ether across
an unreyealed sky prevails, and the
hurrying sameness on every side is
varied only by occasional tall and
bending wraiths where the wind
whirls in shifting column. A con-
fusion of the senses, comparable to
none produced otherwise, appals
one submitted to the enormous and
binding force of such snow-filled
wind, and scarcely a distinct
thought remains except that the
awful cold forbids crouching for
rest and shelter. To our personal
knowledge one in such a storm
keeps with difficulty upon a rail-
way track lifted three feet above
the surrounding prairie, and may
be lost by five steps the wrong way
after stumbling down from the EN-.
bankment, which, being white, be-
comes instantly invisible. 1t is re-
corded on good authority that
teamsters halting with their horses
have been showed over thirty feet
deep by billiards., and have sur.
VlVed ny Deatlng out breathing

storm enabled them to dig them.
selves to upper air. The formation
of q drift about a halted man, or
horse, or sleigh is sometimes wond.
erfully speedy; and the drift, once
established, grows by virtue of its
Dbstructiveness. In some we'll
authenticated cases lost persons
have been found by the drifts over
them and dug out alive, in others
the spring has revealed corpses
still unthawed among the last white
relics of winter. In blizzards peo.
pie have often been unable to see
across the street of Northwestern
town, and sometimes men lose their
direction in trying to reach the op'
posite side of q Weli-built way.
