THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1871 LETTER FROM A DULUTIIUN. The NotlkPrn Purine KitUi-antl The Cllinnte of the Noriliwft. To the KilUur fthe Ecenin Telegraph. Pii il a DELrH i a , Jan. 2:', 1871. Several times during this cold, unpleasant day, friends, knowing that I was from Du lutb, have met rae with the remark, "This kind of weather seems natural to you, I sup pose." Their supposition was all wrong, being based on an ignorance of the climate of the Northwest which is too common, and which, now that that great transcontinental railroad, the Northern Tacific, is building, should be dissipated. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. If I have made any feature of the North west a special study it is its climate. Nervous debility, spitting of blood, a fear of heredi tary tendency to consumption (clustering graves reveal a family foe), led mo some five years ago to locate in Minnesota. A few days since I was reading in a Duluth paper of a consumptive who went to our State as his only hope of escape from an early grave. To use his own language, uttered a few months afterwards, "No life insurance company would have insured me if I had paid a premium of ninety-nine cents on the dollar, but now I am in fine health, and only one t thing annoys me; that " is) the constant pestering f agents to get my life insured." This was perchance in tended as a hyperbole, but my experience nearly measures up to it. The life insurance company of which 1 was a general agent would not take a risk on my life. About two weeks Bince I effected an insurance, and the careful examining physician, a total stranger to me, a man of reputation and skill, pro nounced me an excellent risk. While I am relating my experience, let me add that in Minnesota Iilearned what it is to enjoy living life, mere existence, without regard to its circumstances, became a positive joy. Eat ing, to Bay nothing about sleeping, came to be one of my luxuries, and the horrors of forcing down your breakfast, an experience so familiar to Eastern men of sedentary habits and mental application, be came a thing of the past. There even com mon food is "rolled beneath the tongue as a sweet morsel," and my little boy hit the nail on the head when he said, "Father, it tastes good all the way down." It stands to reason that food thus eaten must strengthen the system more than that which is eaten without relish. To continue this speaking out in meeting. For several months I averaged thirty speeches of an hour eaoh, speeches de livered with much of Methodist energy, and grew fat while so doing. THE GLOKY OF LIVING. Oh, it is a glorious thing to really live; to feel the blood leaping along the veins, as if in very joy; to realize every muaola braod, every nerve energized, labor a pleasure and not an effort, and the rapture of mental toil not neutralized by subsequent depression. I went.there in the spring, and a lady told me, "When winter comes you will find it hard work to walk dignifiedly, but almost in spite of yourself you will be found skipping, dancing along." Alas for my dignity, it was too true, for in many of our glorious winter mornings I have felt it would have been a positive relief if I could have frisked around like a colt. Said a Boston gentleman to me, "Your Bummers are a trifle too hot, but your winters are grand." The language of one of our editors is scarcely too strong: "The whole winter is a radiant and joyous band of sunny days and starlit nights. " A grave Presbyterian clergyman of St. Paul, writing of the coldest term known in Minne sota for many years (the mercury was more than thirty degrees below zero), exclaims, "The sky was without a cloud; not a breath of air was stirring, and the stillness and per fect quiet of everything was that of a Sabbath in summer. I went to my study as usual, and felt no unusual sensation of cold. In fact, the exhilaration of being out in, and breathing the air; was purely delight ful. I can now understand Dr. Kane's state ment that he could, without inconvenience, stand 70 deg. below zero if no wind were blowing. And, fortunately, here the coldest days are the stillest days. On the very cold est day of the last ten years I attended a public meeting, to which men, women, and babes in their mothers" arms came from a radius of ten miles around. True, these ex ceptionally cold days require exceptional care of the ears and extremities, and an occasional shielding of unduly extended nasal organs. MINNBSOTA AND PHILADELPHIA. My enthusiasm as to our matchless climate may be more lively now because I am not there, but doomed (perchance for my sins) for awhile to dwell in a less hospitable clime. All things are by comparison, and in this my first winter in the East since leaving it for my Western home, I have been instituting comparisons between the two latitudes, and dear old Philadelphia has not been elevated thereby. It is true that Minnesota is very much colder, as cold is measured by the thermometer, than Pennsylvania, but it is equally true that you suffer more from the cold than we do. Rev. Dr. Boardman, of this eity, writing from St. Paul, says: "It is the uniform testimony of the residents here that they suffer less from the cold than they did formerly in the wet and variable winters of the lower latitudes." We need no more clothing in winter than you do. You go out in one of your raw mornings, and they are often raw as early as in October, and you first sensation is that of chill, and rapidly must you walk to overcome it; we go out in our coldest weather, and there is no chill, and absolutely the well-clad pedestrian is unaware that it is cold save by the tingling of exposed ears. The reason is plain around you is a wrapping of heat-conducting, heat-absorbing damp sir; around us is a covering of non conducting dry air. f KIFOBMITY OK TEMPEKATVKE. Your May-days in Januiry, when over shoes are discarded and overcoats become a burden, and when the birds are almost de ceived into returning from the South, and the occasional twitter of a swallow is heard, are truly delightful whi'b they last; but, alas, while the system Is all unlocked, the pores all open, suddenly the cruel north winds come down upon you, and what is tho result? Let recking coughs, rheumatic pains, the sudden extinguishing of life's light where but yesterday bloomed a treacherous health, answer. To jou, who are afar off, it may seem that ours is a hyperborean region, when you learn that thaws and winter rains are (scarcely known among us. We, too, have our sudden changes, the thermometer varying, at times, over thirty degrees in twenty-four hours; but they come not laden with disease and death. Our very cold spells seldom if ever continue more than two or three days at a time, and then very rapidly upward shoots the mercury, but Btill keeping ten or fifteen degrees below the thawing point, below that point at which the pores are opened, so when comes the next snap of cold the joints of our fleshy taber nacles are not all open to receive his fatal visit. Providence keeps us enclosed in armor, and when spring really visits us it comes to stay and finds us strong to greet it. Where consumptives have not deferred their migra tion until too weak to bear the stimulant of our climate, they find the winter the most re cuperative part of the whole year (and that is Ood's design in giving us winter), as also do those persons whose nervous systems are prostrated. WOKKINO DATS. There are in Minnesota a few days in every year so cold that it is not advisable to folio w out-of-door work, though thousands do con tinue at trapping and lumbering, regardless of the cold, but I hesitate not to say that not only do we have many more enjoyable days in the year than you, but, considering your rains, and hails, and sleets, that we have also more days in which a man can earn his bread in the open air. Our average winter tem perature is over 1G degrees. THE WIND. The wind, not the cold, is the sting of winter. Let the wind blow with us, and up rises the mercury; in the East the reverse is too often true. The comfort of our winters is that therein we have but little wind, and our houses are kept warm with less fuel than those in lower latitudes where high wintry winds drive the cold into every nook and corner. The pressure of cold on the human body increases as the square of the wind's velocity. If our wind is 12 J miles per hour, we have to meet but three-fourths of a pound of cold against each square foot of our body; but if yours is twenty-five miles per hour, whioh velocity is more common to you that the former to us, you are assailed with three pounds of cold against every square foot. We meet ours with unopened pores, and it passes idly by na; yon, yourn -Tory often after days and weeks of May weather, and it pene trates you. Think of three pounds of oold pressing suddenly against all the open pores of every square foot of your frames, and then you will begin to understand how it can be true that the winters of Minnesota are more pleasant than those of Philadelphia. And yet Minnesota is by far the coldest por tion of the whole region to be traversed by the Northern Pacific Railroad. With your per mission, I will return to this subject. H.
