Coolest Night Ever Known in America.
The other day there was in the
city quite distinguished young man,
says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
His celebrity consists Of his having
recorded the lowest temperature ever
observed within the bounds of civil
ization. His name is George A. Car
den, and he was on his way from
Lama, Mo-, to Chicago, where he
will act as Assistant Observer in the
Signal Office. 1t was on New Years
morning, 1885, that Mr.. Garden,
then Signal Service Observer at
Popular River, Montana, sent on
the solitary telegraphic wire that
connected him with the world out
side this brief but startling announce
ment: Temperature 62,l degrees
below zero 81 tossed about all
night trying to keep warm," said
Mr.. Garden. "The big stove kept
nearly red hot, but still the little
room would not get warm. 1t seem
ed as cold as the outer air. Upon
me had piled covering equivalent
to twenty thicknesses of blankets,
buffalo robes, buffalo coats, cloth
coats, everything in the shape ofpro-
lection, was heaped upon my little
bed, yet still / shivered under it all
No one can form an idea of the cold
that night. / had to wear the heav

was pulled down over my ears
Once, when | reached my bare hanC
out of the bed to throw another
stick of wood on the fire it was sc
benumbed that | had to drop the
stick. Mind you, all this time the
fire was roaring and cracking.

Wives in the Old Country.

/ was captured at Sedan and kept
Ave months in a German prison. 1t
was while in that prison that | had
a chance to study the social relation
between man and wife among the Ger
mans. The captain or warden of the
prison had habit of blowing keen
whistle between his fingers, as man
usually whistles for his dog, for his
wife to appear. He gave his orders
and the dutiful animal had to obey
them. Wives are treated in middle
and lower classes in England very
much after the German fashion.
/ remember remarkable case that
occurred in Birmingham. A poor
woman, while passing along the street
with a jug of beer in her hand, got
into quarrel. Without hesitation
she threw the jug in her opponents
face. She was arrested, locked up,
and next morning brought before the
magistrate. He sent for her husband
and asked him if he could not gov
ern his wife. The husband said that
she had high temper, and that at
times he found it difficult to control
her. The magistrate told the hus-
band that he would fine him $40 and
hold him responsible for his wife's
conduct for six months. The idea
of making the husband the defend
ant, just as if his dog had done some
act and the owner was held respon-
sible J In the aristOcratic circles of
England the wife is treated more IS
an equal, but not nearly as much so
as in France and America. In France
the wife leads the husband around
by the nose, and [ find that it is very
much the same in the United States.

 The prohibitory law in Rhode Island is be- ing rather vigorously enforced. Each day brings its three or four raids, it's warrants of condemnation of liquors, it's conviction of violators of the law, aud the usual appeals to the highest court. The majority of the places continue open, but they carry small stocks, and they complain that the demand has fallen of, as people dislike to go into 8 place likely to be raided at any moment Ever since the prohibitory law went into ef- feet, the wholesalers and brewers have put beer and ale into the saloons at their own risk, to encourage the places to keep open. The State and city police have come around with such regularity of late and gathered in the contraband articles, that the wholesalers have decided that ale and beer must be put into the saloons hereafter at the saloon keep CTS risk. This will result in just what the State police are trying to accomplish-mak- k- ing the business unproftable for the retailer. The law has been sustained in every partieu- lar by the Supreme court, and it is believed to be only question of time when the open saloon must go. A Newport saloon keeper, who had been defiantly violating the law af- ter three raids, was sent to jail the other day for two months and fined $200. A Provi- denee liquor dealer is now doing a ten months sentence for keeping g. liquor nuisance. Arrests for drunkenness in Prov idence average about eight day.

FRIENDLY MEXTCANs.

A correspondent of the Boston Herald, telegraphing from the City of Mexico, gives some information which may be valuable to those who condHet the government of this country. He says, for one thing, that Amer jeans in Mexico regard it as especially annoy ing that at time when the Diaz administra- ton is target for the attacks of an opposi- tion press because of the cordial treatment of Americans MT. Bayard should be playing directly into the hands of the Clerical party, which apparently is seeking to bring about hostiIities. There is undoubtedly desire on the part of the Mexican government to settle existing controversies amicably, and if there is on the surface of recent dispatches some thing of patriotic self assertion it does not prove what is undoubtedly true, that Mexico has no wish to do injustice to Americans. It is the belief of many American residents that if the State department had shown half as much eagerness to frame comprehensive treaty of friendship, commerce and naviga- ton with Mexico, thus defining and guard ing American interests and rights, as it has in taking up the case of the adventurer, Cutting, things would to-day be on much more satisfactory basis. Recent acts of the administration show good feeling toward Americans. It is an open secret that the courts have been instructed to deal in @ liberal spirit with American interests, and the severe punishment of Mexican army officers, who have violated the American territory, proves the sincerity of Mexico in her endeavor to promote good neighborship.
 Interviews with many leading Mexieans show a cordial spirit toward the United States. In the opinion of the correspondent Mir Bayard can get all he wants without creating in the midst of the Liberal party, now very cordial to the United States, the same unfriendly feeling which animates the Olerieals. Mexico would undoubtedly accept arbitration or other fair means to arrange existing disputes. There is an undercurrent of apprehension in Mexico lest the State de- partment at Washington may, by being rigorous in its demands, strengthen the re- actionary eleie ieent, which resists all progress, and makes khe burden of its complaint against the BSber41 party that it is over friendly with Ar3ericans. Many prominent Mexicans believe that it would be we'll for Mexico to make a treaty with the United States waiving the right to try foreigners for offenses committed against citizens of Mex s1a

A Ne1v Hon.e of Peers

Commerce is king in this nineteenth cen
 tury, at all events with English-speaking na-
 tions; commerce fulfl1s all the old kingly
 functions; it is the patron of art, the build
 CT of architectural wonders, the benefactor
 of the working masses, the friend of the in-
 ventor, of the designer, of the clever handi-
 craftsman. These are large statements, but
 let anyone who is inclined to dispute them
 first visit the palace of Messrs. Pears in New
 Oxford street, which is one of the finest of the pieces of work finished in honor of the
 Jubilee year. In paying this visit try the
 experiment first of removing the immediate
 associations of the building and its objects.
