Vc notica that the winter has set in
with unusual severity ia England as well
3 ia this country, acd that there is
great Buffering among the poor. Our
attention be;ng called to this, we took
occasion to refer to ano!J Look contain
ing some records in regard to the weath
er of that country, and of portioti3 of
the eattern continent, and were sur
prised to find that at times they have
had winters that would bo considered
eevere in Cacada. Ia J 814 the Thames
was f.czen so firm that booths were
built on tho ice. Aguin, in 1789 that
river was frozen euScient for crossing.
In 1420 the ice between Constantinople
and Iskaiar w3 passable on ice ; and in
1224 the Mediterranean was frozen aver
and poods wcro run across in carts ; and
tbs ThuBOS was rozen for fourteen '
weeks in 10G3. and in the river fro
zen for five weeks. Tho Mediterranean
iVozenand aaiu pasraLlo in carts iafcGO.
TLuj we sec that Europe, at times, has
had winters intensaly severe in sections
where the olive and the oranra flourish
ia other years.
The recurrence of these severe winters
La3 been so irregular that no known
meteroloieal law could account for them,
nor do they establish any lav; that would
justify any prediction of their recurrence.
Mankind can solve in.iDy of the appa.
rent mysteries of the stars through mil
- lions on millions of miles away, and can
read tho . geological recordi of perhaps
million. of years past, but can get no
clue to the why or wherefore of tha in
tense severity cf tome winters over oth
ers, though he has the record ef nearly
2000 years for the ba:s of his calcula
tion, lie can foretell to a minute when
an eclipso will commence a thousand
yean from now, but cannot predict the
weather for an hour ahead. It is a ques
tion that all arj interested in, and a
thing that hundreds cf millions of pco
p!j have been continually watching since
the earth was peopled, and yet it is a j
puzzle as much to the philosopher as
tho fooL No one knows whether the
severe seasons refered to were the re
u!i of som-j fixed law, or the effect cf
Borne accidentally uniting circumstance.-;
nor can they tell whether this winter wi'l
be like them or whether Europe will
ever have such agaia.
So far the clerk of fb.3 weather has
managed to keep his sccret3 from the in
qaiiitivenes.s even of Yankees. Of
course wc have no, reference to slight
changes, but to those revolutions ia met

cal Italy an occasional Greenland win

Under the above title the Sacremento
Review publisher the following, relative
to the pompous'ob.'equiesof the late Jas.
Fisk, jr.:
"lie was one who had wrested ri ;hes
from the poor by the most audacious
schemes of robbery ever perpetrated
with impunity; whoo rrh in lifj was
bordered by ih-s wretkot" honestermeu's
fortunes; whose plundering plots had
bankrupted the widow and the orphan;
whoso every dollar, whose every jewel,
..whose every possession, represented
wrongs inSieted upon his fellows ; who
knew noither honesty, truth nor mercy;
whose career was a double cursj to his
country demoralizing to our youth, on
the one hand, by the lavi.-h profiwon
and shamelefcS immorality of his pleas
ures, and encouraging scoutidrelism
throughout the land, on the other Ly
the brazen example of his dazzling suc
cess1. Ho was free har.cled, he was cenerou.

Ifut rrf bis friends say his
apCiOgists. tiranteu. Lut where is the
merit of spending freelv that which is
gained dMionestiy, of luvi.-hing the
means of othors, of displaying a sham
benevolence at the expense of swindled
r..'.:Ei5? Is there a generous aet in
James Fi.-k's life that ili outlive the
memory of that Black Friday upon which
thou.-ands found themselves, thronch
his means, faee to face with ruin and
despair? Is there a good deed perform
ed by him which will counterbalance
the sinister iniiuenee of his miserable
example upon theyounpand ilsT-iehtless,
upon the weak and sinful? If not, away
with this cant about respecting the dead.
We repect vice nowhere. Living, it is
entitled to co exemption from criticism;
dead, it demards from us no com pn no
tion. And when the temporary emotion
caused by tbe manner of his takhig off
eha'.l have died away, the people among
whom he lived will see him with our
eyes, and will recognize ana- confess the
moral enormity of his career and exam
ple. It may. be human nature to ?riiti
uisnfalize over the corpse of a dead
scoundrel bec3Ue be happens to be a
suece ful and a wealthy hcourdiel tut
to our plain thoughts the carrion cf the
meanest convict in Sing Sing is as well
entitled to the honor of public burial,

ple, U3 the remain of Jarues Fisk."

A painter was orrco engaged upon a
likeness of Alexander the Great. In
one of his battles, Alexander had re
ceived an ugly scar on the bide of his
face. The artist was desirous of giving
a correct likeness of the monarch, an i,
at the same time, desirous of hiding the
scar. It was a difficult task to aecotn
piith. At length he hit upon a happy
expedient, lie painted him in a reflec

his hed, while hij linger covered the
scar. The be.-t men are not without

Don Piatt's rollicking and racy paper,
The Cnpilal, has the following capital
description of new members of Congress:
Tha new members could be distin
guished from the old Solous by the con
tcious air of delegated importanco each
wore. Your new member is a study.
He has new clothes that fit him uncom
fortably. He has a new hat that evi
dently makes Lis head ache. Rvery
movement is the subject of study and
resu't of a resolution. He 6Sys '"good
morning" in a solemn and impressive
manner, as if announcing a grave prop
osition, and tells you of the weather in
measured way as if committing himself
to a platform. It he could be caught
and searched, a written speech could be
found in his coat tail pocket, that soon
er or later he is bent upon delivering,
unless he has leave to pritit. A pick
pocket once saw a new member put a
package carefully away in his breast.
Believing this to be money the thief fol
lowed h'tn for day, and at last catting
the coat he secured the precious parcel,
and hurrying away to an alley opened it
with eagernes.a, and found a package of
congressional envelopes. The pickpock
et committed suicide, and before dying
left a? a legacy to his Lroth?r thieves the
words "ware congressmen."

The great Napoleon nad a quick in
Eight into system and theories made up
of fd.ams and fallacies. On looking ov
er Say's work on Political Economy, he
remarked that "if an empire were made
of adamant, these free trade systems
would grind it to powder.' Its publica
tion was forbidden in France for twelve
years. Among his many terse, incisive,
epigrarumauo expressions, was this:
"Formerly there was only one kind of
property, fond; another has since arisen,
industry" and he held it to be quite as
Ececarary to protect one ce the other.
Napoleon recognized the great' power
of industry and the immense superiority
of commerce over battalions when he
