AT HOME AND ASPtOAD.
"Whither are we drifting —This is a ques
tion that is often asked t.he "dear people" by
anxious politicians, but w< p. .pound r, now .
to the "Clerk of the Weather" whose record of
the last two months shows so many might and
sunshiny pages. We want to know whether we
are "drifting" into the Southern latitudes, or •
whether the discussion of Kansas aihurs has
only temporarily frightened "grim-visaged
Winter" from our shores. Has the "King of
Frost" got the "panics" and have the snow
banks "suspended," too, like the other hanks?
Has old Boreas gone into liquidation, that we
have so much rain and no snow, or has the
growling of the "Wall Street bears disturbed
the equanimity of the Pole Star and thus brought
us into a warmer climate 1 ■ We want to know.
To be serious, the state of the weather during
the last two months has been astonishingly mild
and pleasant. We hear of the farmers in various
parts of the State being engaged in ploughing for
their Spring Crops. In Somerset County, where
live the "Frosty sons of Thunder," who but rare
ly thaw cut of their snow-banks before May,
we hear that maple sugar is being made and
that some of the farmers talk about sow ing oats
in a few days ! In "little Fulton" where dwe! |
the "Thundering Sons of Frost" we .saw plough
ing done last week. In shirt the weather, so
far, has been so extianrdiiiarily summ-risb that
we begin to despair of having any winter. We
put our trust, however, in "Ground-hog-day."
If that cannot turn the ti.ie in favor Y Old
Icicles, then—"lh-re is no use talking."
: Printers' JYetef Letter.' —Chichester k Co.,

of a periodical under 'tie above title, "the prin
cipal object of which is to pr< > :>t to printers
and publi f heis valuable information, relative to
the 'Art preservative of ail arts,'' together with
all new inventions in the printing art. at as ear

Encoumrring to printers. — The "News Let
ter" has , t jittje article under the foregoing head
in'wli'u h it is stated for the cotnfoit of the poor
sons of Faustus, that "Lord Stanhope was a prin
ter; Franklin was a printer; Heranger, the great
French poet, was a printer: Thiers, the renown
ed French historian, was a printer." And to
make the ragged typo feel particularly good,
the little article winds up as fallows :
" If a brilliant star
Were stricken from the dome of night,
A printer's pre-s if planted there,
Would hit the vacua no to a hair.
And a"e, perhaps, a better light,"
Now, this may be supposed to be vei v "en
couraging to printers," but we know that it is
not half so much sons plenty of new advance
paying subscribers. If "outsiders" doubt this,
let them "jump into" the publisher's harness
and be convinced.

3T7" We ought to make a very liberal allow
ance in discussing the political issues of the day,
for the fact that for more than thirty-five years
we have had a speci sof political North an; j a
political South. The habit of a great public is
not unlike that of an individual. Th v have a
way of coloring subjects very similar . away of
imbibing ppjudic-s and prejudging cas-s almost
the same. Let us apply these suggestions to the
Kansas controversy. There is in realitv in that
controversy, as it now stands, not one element
of the old slavery quarrel. It has dwindled
down into a dispute about the construction of
laws—whether the act of 185-1- conferred suffi
cient authority upon the'people to authorize
them to frame a State government ? whether j
delegates elected by the people for specific pur- j
poses are to be presumed to express the will of
the latter ' Some few men, who never forget
and never learu anything, still talk about the
slave oligarchy in connexion with Kansas affairs
as old soldiers fight their battles over and over
again ; but in honest truth there is nothing of
the slavery question left. There is not a conn- !
ty court in all this Union which is not railed
upon to decide questions, from month to month,
of more practical importance than that which is
involved in the turrit rial issue now before the
country.— Washington Union.

theseivs from Maine, tarried long on the corners.
The news came, but not until he had absorbed
sufficient damp to give him the chills. Another
friend invited him to take a glass of Scotch ale,
which was put up in very black bottles. Our
friend's thirst was hnsre, and was only quench
ed after a number of empty bottles stood before
him : a cold in the head wss the consequence,
which consequence was in*eis hours by

Gov. EisStr's Great Speech.
A Washington correspondent of the York
Gazette, in his letter of the 21st ult., thus refers
to the great speech of Gov. Bigler in answer to
the ''Little Giant," upon the Kansas policy of
the Administration:
The great event of the dav was the delivery,
this morning, of the great speech of Senator
Bigler, upon the Kansas policy of the Adminis
tration. Long before the hour of twelve, the
tloor of the Senate, and the galleries, and every
available stand-point were densclv crowded.
The ladies' galleries were thronged with th
fairest of the beautiful women, from far and
near, of whom Washington is so justly proud—
while the floor of the Senate was tilled with
distinguished men from all parts of our great
country.
Among the latter J observed the imposing
form of Attorney Genera! Black. Gen. G. VV.
Bowman, of Bedford, the newly appointed Su
perintendent of Public Printing, wasaiso pres
ent, receiving the congratulations of tiis fiiend-,
and Hon. W. H. Wide, of Pa., with a lvt
of others. At one o'clock, the Hon. Win. Big
ler took the floor. Gov. Bigler never looked
better. Time lias but iighiiv touched his locks
his face is rounded and full, and his firm and
resolute manner, his dignity ol carriage, and im
posing mien, give a majesty to his .retenc .
His style is quiet, forcible, arid very impressive,
and at times, when he yields to the force of his
emotions, rising to thrilling hursts of impassion
ed oratory. His able exposition, and lofty
vindication, of the Kansas policy of the Admin
istration, was listened to with quiet and earn
est attention for nearly two hours. His telling
points weie loudly applauded, and a murmur of
approbation ran through the Senate. IVsuisvl
vanians-, here, have cause, to-day, to feel proud
of William Bigler,
Tin: TEIBC.M: AS D THE HARPERS.—A very
curious piece of literary maneuvering is just now
being enacted in this city. Some time since th"
Messrs. Harper purchased ol .Mr. Tbackeiav, for
•32000, the advance sheets of his new novel,
"The Virginians," to be published in their ma
gazine. ihe Tribune, without leave or licens •,
stole it, upon which the Harjieis retorted, when
the Tribune slated tha' ihnj also had an origin
al copy of the story. The Harpers, Ivmwer,
doubted it, 3nd laid a trap to catch the immacu
late organ of all the isms. They altered a lew
unimportant words- in the next portion of it
published, and waited to see whether the Tri
bune would follow their copy or the original
one which they pretended to have. They did
not wait in vain, for the next day alter the at
pearance of the story in the magazine, it appear
ed in ihe 7 ribune verbuiimet lilir<Uim! Mere
was a decided proof of the Tribune's dishonesty.
Hut this is not ail : this morning the Tribune an
nounces the publication of the portion appearing
in the February number of Harper, and accuses
that periodical of "mutilating" the „torv, "a fact
wbic.li,"continues the Tribune, "its publishers
have boldfV avowed." This is about the c ol
est piece of impudence we ttave ever met with.
After stealing the story, and getting caught in
the act, it brazenly turns around and charges
the Harpers with "mutilating" the story, thus
intimating to its readers thev can only get "The
Virginians" in a correct farm in the columns of
the Tribune'. This will do. It beats Uriah
Heep all over.— JV. Y. Dmj Book.
WILD CAT CUKCENCY AT THE WEST. —The
folio wins from the Chicago Tribune oi January
l9tb, is a sample of the complaints which till
the Western papers :
"Minnesota is the paradise of the feline tribe.
As in Michigan in earlier days, they flourish
with a vigor of growth, and length of claw, and
sharpness of voice, that are nowhere eiseattain
ed. 'J'tie latest litter, as noticed in the .St. Paul
papers, consists of two kittens, one called tin-
Central Bank, Gray, and the other vcleped the
Charcoai Bank ot .Nowhere. The swindliru
•■missions of both are endorsed by parties in St.
Paul, and both are doubtless worthless. The
peculiarity of tire notes of the Charcoal Bank is
that they promise redemption, if presented to
'he ntterer, at his office, 'on the- first day of
July'—not a day later or earlier. Who doubts
that St. Paul and Minnesota are hard up, when
such stuff can be used as a substitute for monev ?
"lowa is but little better off than her north
ern neighbor. We publish to day a letter from
Davenport, in which the effect of .Nebraska
money—they have no other in that region—is
graphically described ; and we have, in the
Galena .Idvertiser specimens of the prevailing
currency at Dubuque, which we copy, for the
delectation of those who never passed through
a shinplaster era. Two specimens will suffi
ciently jjdescrib- t lh e lot."
WHY WE HAVE NO THUNDER IN THE WINTER.
Prof. Espy, in his .Meteorological Report, thus
explains why we have no thunder in the winter:
If it be asked why we have no thunder in
the winter, though the tops of the storm clouds
rise even in this season to a region where the
air is at least considerably charged with electri
city, perhaps the answer may be found in this—
| that the storm clouds in the winter are of great
j extent, and of course the tension of the electri
city, being extended over a very large surface,
is very feeble : and the subsiance of the cloud
being itself framed out of vapor much less dense
than that ofsummer clouds, this tension may
not be able to strike from one particle of the
cloud to the next adjacent one : no general
discharge can take place. Besides, even in the
winter, during a very warm spell of ,weather
with a high dew point for the season, we some
times have a violent thunderstorm from a cloud
of very limited horizontal extent, as the thun
der clouds always are in the summer. Such a
cloud is in reality an insulated pillar of hot ais,
mingled with condensed vapor, having just given
out into the air itself its latent caloric, causing
the air at the top of this cloud, in many cases,
to he 60 degrees warmer at its lop fhati the air
on the outside at the same level.
PICKPOCKET-! AT HARRISJIURG. —During the
inauguration of Co v. Packer on Tuesday, Mr.
Calhoun, of the H jse, had his pocket picked
of some $225. Mr. Drake, reporter, also had
his pocket picked of a large [>orte-ir.onnaie and
some $lO. Col. G. T. Hummel lost a pocket
book containing SSO and some valuable papers.
