a highly good-humored crowd, however.
Two of the most noted Of Pittsbure's

addressed to Alderman Fuller. The com

ing the imprint of the House of Representa-

MEANEST TEMPERATURES.

Tint Seems to be About the Gauge Of the
Present December Weather, as Com-
pared With Past Years-SOme Pointers.
"What remarkable weather; will we ever
have a change; did you ever see the like?"
and kindred EXPLANATIONS are heard every
day from the bon-ton, the middle class, and
from the every day go-as-you-please people.
They refer of course to the weather we
have been enjoying for the past three or
four months. Every housewife has been
busy wondering, pondering and speculating
as to whether day would be wet or dry.
In no instance, recently, have they figured on
cold day, because cold days have been SO rare
that no one has had the temerity to prophesy
as to whether a day would be cold or otherwise,
although any of the numerous weather
prophets are not in the least hesitating about
predicting that we will have warm weather,
judging, of course, from the past.
"a green Christmas makes fat graveyard"
is legend which has been annually on the lips
Of English speaking people since the middle
ages. Although it may not be taken literally,
it causes a great deal Of apprehension
among the superstitions and credulous.
Many green Christmases have occurred
without any dire calamity visiting the
community, or the graveyards being un-
usually decorated with new-made mounds.
The weather of the past few weeks has
been remarkably soft" It has not
been particularly beneficial to 1umbermen,
farmers or teamsters, because the roads have
been so bad that heavy loads could not be
hauled through the mud and slush which filed
the roads, Believing that a comparison Of the
weather statistics for the past ten years, on the
25th of December, would be interesting to the
public DISPATCH representative called at
the Signal Service office last evening.
Mr.. Stewart, the chief. was away on his vaca-
ton, but his place was filled by Mr.. Baldwin,
who has been in the United States Signal
Service for the past 10 or II years. The follow
ing data was obtained as regards the mean
temperature on Christmas Day:
For 1879, "a 1880 81; 1881, ~; 1882 81: 1882 S41z:
1884 IS: 1885 30 1886, Is: 1887, S37: 1885, 49, and
yesterday the mean temperature was 456.
The mean temperature for December for the
last 16 years has been S32 and the average
rainfall 2S6 inches. The aspect of the weather
for the last 10 years has been as follows:
1873, showing all day, cold; 1880, showing all
day; 1881, pleasant warm; 1882 pleasant; 1888
showing slightly. 1884, showing all day; 1885 snow
night; 1887, cloudy; 1883 pleasant only trace of
snow.
The mean temperature for the present month
SO far has been 456. The rainfall has been 2o1,
which is greater than any other month since
the Signal Service ONCE was established in
Pittsburg It has been the warmest December
yet recorded in Pittsburg. The lowest mean
temperature was in 1875 when 1t was 23l. The
greatest rainfall was in December, 1879
The least rainfall was in 1875 when 1t aver
aged 0S3 for December. There is a storm in
progress in Wisconsin and Minnesota which
may reach Pittsburg to-day. but it is liable to
cross the lakes and go into Canada.

PARIS. December A.-The epidemic
reigns and RACES. The conference OF law
yers which was to have convened yesterday,
did not, because the majority of the speakers
were i'll. Reports from Berlin are to the
effect that there is no abatement of the evil
there. In Brunswick it has assumed ma
lignant type, and there have been many
deaths. At Frankfort it is increasing. The
tramways have ceased operations because
the employees are all i'll. At Munich the
cases are increasing. The theaters announce
that the programmes of the play are not to
be depended on, as the illness Of actors may
make it necessary to change the names at
any moment, or even to change the piece.
At Antwerp the disease is increasing, but
it is diminishing among both the garrison
and the people at Amsterdam. 1t has ap-
peaeed at Dordrecht among the soldiers and
sailors and in the factories. 1t is very seri-
Gus in the barracks at Brussels, and half the
carbineers and grenadiers Of the corps des

THOUGHT SHE WAS A SLAVE.
A Colored Woman Brings Suit Against q
Egrate foY Long serviee.

A COIOred Woman Brings Suit Against an
Estate for Long Service.
KANSAS CITY, December 24-An uniq ue
case was decided in the Probate Court Of
Copoper county to-day. 1t was that of a
colored woman who has just discovered that
she is a free woman, and not a slave, and
she brought suit against her late masters
estate for 81, 400 wages. At the commence
ment of the war Joseph Hickman, now the
wealthiest and most influential farmer in
the county, bought a negress slave in the
market and took her to the farm as sew
ing maid. Since that time she has never
been allowed to go beyond the bounds of the
farm, and in her petition she alleged that
she had not been permitted to hold con-
verse with any of her race and none of the
family were ever permitted to tell her the
results of the war.
When her old master died three weeks
ago she ran away to Bonneville, and while
there she learned that the slaves had been
emancipated and that she was free
woman. She told her story to the lawyer
and he brought suit. The Court decided
for the plaintiff to-day and allowed one-haf
the amount claimed,
