Fishermen from tbe coast of Florida re port the recent discovery, near Key West, of geyser like springs, supposed to be from volcanic eruptions, that boll up from the depth of the ocean in that section, which areol a poisonous nature, killing all tho fish that come in contact with their waters. An Englishman has invented a new plan for propelling canal and river boats, which it Is said, works admirably, and is llioughl to be superior to tbe old method of using wheels and paddles. This aparatus consists of numerous pipes through which tbe water i conducted by means of power ful machinery and ejected forcibly at the stern. The House of Deputies In Mexico, by a large majority, have refused permission to M. Charney to remove any Of the antiquities discovered by him from that country. The gentleman has made many valuable discov eries during the past few years, which he has devoted entirely to exploring of ancient localities, and at great expense, The action of the authorities of that country, in tbe matter, is a most serious one to him. Profs.

Tbe President on tho 6th Inst., nomi nated, and tbe Senate at once confirmed, Nathan Goff, Jr., of West Virginia, to be Secretary of the Navy. General Goff was born in West Virginia and has not past bis fortieth year. He enlisted in the Union army after the outbreak of tho civil war, was Colonel of theThird Virginia Regiment, and rose to tho rank of Brigadier General. He has been U. S.

Vast quarries of beautiful white stone have recently been discovered near Knox ville, Tenn., which is pronounced by com petent persons to bo superior in quality to anything of the kind found olsewhere in tho United Stales, and which approaches very nearly to Italian marble, so extensively im ported into this country. The United Stales government is now working, most success fully, a quarry of this stone, the discovery of which it is thought will soon open up a most Important industry in that singularly favored but as yet almost unknown section. Somewhat after the style ot the ancient Assyrian roadway, as described by Mr. Wendell Phillips In his lecture on the "Lost Arts," the authorities of New York City are preparing to place in lower Broadway and the streets leading therefrom to the ferries, a complete equipment of five Bets of tracks, made of various gauges, to suit all kinds of vehicles. By this system of paving it it claimed, that the crowded condition of Broadway would be much relieved and the usual blockades prevented as much better time could be made, and with less interfer ence among vehicles. o -Immense coal oil fields have recently been discovered in Italy, in the Valley Cot CO aud also at Itlva Nuiiatio, near Vaghera in Piedmont. Someexpert Canadians have been employed in tbo work and the Ameri can mode of extracting the oil has been adopted. Tbe yield is said to be very large and tbe production of a superior quality. A icriter states that the discovery has opened up an important new Industry in that sec. t!on,and that the whistlooftbe enginesand the clank of machinery is now heard where not long ago tbe shepherd's pipe was the only sound that broke silence of tbe beauti ful valley.

Tho weather is hardly a fair subject for letter writing, yet it has been a leading topic of conversation hero lately. Washington has lost somo of iu reputation for a semi-, tropical winter climate. Through tho re cent change in the weather offico of the Sig nal Service Bureau, and tho extraordinary conduct of Mr. Vcnnor, things appear to have got badly mixed. From a placo where mild and balmy breezes and pleasant sun shine prevails at this time o'f the year, Washington has been transformed into one of the coldest cities in the country ,with snow piled up along the curbs like the drlfU along a country fence In the North. Usually the most we liaveit a little flurry of snow which comes to day and melU to-morrow, so that a sleigh rido is a rare thing and conveyances with runners scarce. But now we have had over three weeks of solid sleighing, with no present prospect of losing it. During the greater part of this time there has been "an eager and a nipping air" abroad, most un comfortable to come In contact with, and on New'Year'a morning the thermometer wos quoted at 14 degrees below zero. This tern perature was lower than that of any other habitable portion of tbe United Stales except Mount Washington, where it was 17 degrees bolow. Mr. Vennor is a foreigner and many people think he is wholly unjustifiable for inflicting such a state ol things as this upon tbe capital of a country with which be has nothing to do. But, whatever others may think, tho boys who could get sleds have heartily approved of the snow if not the temperature. Such excitement over coasting I have never seen anywhere, From morn ing till tllght throngs of youngsters have blockaded Thirteenth Street, and Washing tonBlreet.Georeetown.wherethe declivitv ia ample, and hundreds of "children of larger growur- nave nany waicneu mo sport. A crand sleiehinir carnival on Pennsylvania Avenue iuesuay ancrnooa waa an event Ior Washington. The participants were m masks aud fantastic costumes and made the scene a festive one. New Years day.notwithslandlne tbe cold. was observed in the usual manner. The feature of the day here is tbe official reccp- lions, of which that at the While House is chief. The general attendance on this oc casion, aside from the official and diplomat ic nrcies, waa not as large as in lormcr vcars, but the scenes in the blue parlor as tbe re ception progressed was animated ond bril liant. Mrs. Hayes's fascinating manners and her incomparable social ways have di vested even this ceremonious affair of much of ita formality. Her rare tact of remember ing names and laces and nearly responses to each creetine have made her receptions entertainmenUlo be remembered amongthe successes mat make ine name or Mrs. Madi son so famous in social lore, along with that of Miss Lane who, later on, presided over the household of her uncle, President Bu chanan. Mrs. Hayes has presided over the President's household with a like crace. pe culiarly her own, and many were tbe ex pressions oi regret mat tnis would be her last new rears day mere. From present indications the Inauguration of General Garfield will exceed in brilliancy any similar event since tbe war. Prepara tions are going forwnrd una grand scalend enough Is already assured to render tbe dis play especially magnincenl. Jieporta show that every State and nearly every Territory wiii oe represenicu oy military or CIVIC or ganizations, while the parade of citizen sol diery will be especially fine. Pennsylvania Avenun is 10 ue illuminated ior a mile and a half, and tbe intersecting thirty-eight streeta are to be arched In the names of the several State. An unprecedented crowd is anticipated. All tuo. Hotels long since con tracted for eueeta to their utmost canaoitv and committees are engaged in securing the ue in private apanmenis. The President has recently, in converai. Hon with his friends, remarked that he was extremely well pleased that bis term of of fice was so rapidly drawing to a close. He said to a gentleman who talked to him on the subject lately tbat be would leave Im mediately after the fourth of March for bis home Iu Ohio, where he would be occupied iur sumo iiiuo iu arranging nis private ai fair. His personal friends sav that Mr. Hayes will leave the White House with at least suu.uuu oi bis lour years' salary, He was in quite comfortable circumstances be fore, and his White House savings, with what he already bad, will, for a man of his moderate desires and economical expendi tures, make him rich. From what be says it is understood that when he rets vrv. thing fixed he will to some extent follow the example or General Grant, and enliven portion of his time in travel. He said to a prominent southern Renublican that fw while he intended to visit parts of the South wbich he bad not seen. He indicates that be will not care to re enter nublia life, hut if a favorable opportunity should be present ed and he tail to avail himself ol it, he will be dinereut irom an oilier American poll ttcians. Judge Woods has been formally tworn iu and taken bit teat on the Supreme bench. Senator David Davis, formerly of tbe Sup- r 1 i- , j t-. i - , i retirinz Justice Hunt, and it It thouebt this bill will meet strong opposition from Senator Conkling, wbo will do all he can to prevent the present administration nuklug any more appointmenU to tha Sunrema bench. If a vacancy shall occur before tba fourth of March, it la well understood that Senator dmuuas,of Vermont, will be appointed to uti iu With the return of Congress to tba Can!, tal. kosm'd as to tba aoniina administration tho Cabinet, and policy, has been revived. If a general belief signifies anything, Mr, fore (be Senate. Blalne will bo msde Secretary of State. with power more nearly analogous to the like distinction in Eurepe, than has Wen enjoyed by any premier since Sewanl. What Mr. Blaine's policy will be may bo easily Iiredicted by tboau who aro acquainted with lis antecedents In both houses or Congress and on tbe stump. He will, no doubt, make an offbrt to reconquer for the United Slates her peaceful prestige on tbe seas, and, with an accordant Congress, hla effort In this di rection cannot be without success. It is cer tain that, at leader of- the Cabinet, Mr. Blaine's ambition will have opportunities such as he haa not possessed since ho was Speaker of the House and It will not be re markable IT he brings to the next Republi can nominating convention, tbose delegates from the late slave States who wero alone wanting to mako him. tbe -standard bearer in tho late contest. NEWJORK. rSOU OUB REGULAR CORnESrOIfDRNTV Nkw York, Jan. 8, 1881. With tbe incoming of tlio now calendar metropolitan newspaper readers ore treated to a Variety of statistics and figurcs,show!ng what was accomplished in various depart menU in tbo late lamented 1B80. For ex ample, Mayor Cooper married 91 couples at City Hall, and the Aldermen made 450 hearU beat as 228, during tho departed year. The free baths, eight in number, from their opening, June 1st, to their closing, October 15tb, were patronized by over 3,500,000 men, women and children. At the Mayor's office 8 permlU were granted for street preaching, 48 for firing cannon, 227 for calcium lights, 81 for theatrical and concert licenses at $500 per license, and 173 oaths wore filed. Tho Morgue has done an unusually large busi ness, the total number of dead bodies taken to that cbarnel house having been 4,575; tbe largest number was ia June, 479, and tbe smallest number In January, 334. There were 528 deaths by drowning, 219 males and 309 females, verdicU of suicide having been rendered in 398 cases. Tl.o total num ber of homicides was 417. Tho total num ber of deaths in 1880 was 23,342, being an increase of 3,499 over tho preceding year. Of people who are reported to bavo killed themselves there wero 117, being an increase of 38 over 1879. Alcoholism was responsi ble for 222 lives, and heart diseases for 1,148. The Chief of Police reports the arrest of 62,- 820 males, an increase of 4,075 over 1879, and the arrest ot 18,870 females, an increase of 321 over 1879. Tho Board of Excise granted a total of 4,880 licenses to saloons, covering five gradea of processing! ng from $30 to $250 per license, and footing up a to tal of $237,816. There was a total of 9,073 marriages for the year, as against 8,440 in 1879. There wero 27,493 births in 18S0 as 'against 25,673 in 1879, Tbe total receipts of live stock here Was, beeves, 674,195, cows, 0,303 j calves, 177,209 ; sbeep, 1,655,209 ; swine, 1,722,037, being a slight average in crease over 1879. In round numbers.40,000 .vaccinations were made by tho Board of Health. A total of 320,81)8 immigrants landed at Castle Garden, exceeding tho hu man receipts at this port on any previous year, in 1879 It was 135,070, and the near est approach to 18S0 was 1864, when 319,- 223 persons came to us from the effete des potisms. Since tbe Commission of Immi gration was organized 34 years ago, iq 1847, tbe grand total is 0,177,833. Of those who arrived last year the Labor Bureau found employment for 39,593 people, as against iu.ojj in Ihi'J. ino number ol lailurcs re ported was 344, with neerecntc liabilities of 19,ZU1,6!JI and asseuainounlinglo 8,146, 291. While tho cross liabilities exceed those of 1879 by nearly $3,000,000, the number of lailurcs Is 25 tier cent lees, unci is the small est since the panic of 1H73. More than half me total liabilities or 'u are included in eight failures Iu tho colTee, cigar, grocery and iron trades, thus showing in general re sulU that the proportion of-liabilitics to the number of failures is much smaller than for tbe past decade. There were lour failures each upwards of $7,000,0011; four between $500,000 and $1,000,000; five between $200, 000 and $500,000; nine between $100,000 and $200,000, fifteen between $50,000 and $100,000, and 307 In which the liabilities were umlcr$50,000 each. Among these uu fortunates was one lawyer", ond, most won derful of all, one plumber I The no ine; of no newspaper men appear in tbe list-pos-sibly because they ell made plenty of mon ey, possibly because they had nothing to lose I While the statisticians appear to have overlooked me matter, i can teo no legiti mate reason wnydonn Kenya political tail ure should not be appropriately included in the list; liabilities and assets badly mixed, made up promiscuously of unfulfilled pledges, "deals" with the political enemy, two newspapers bothdaliy, political power fatally telescoped, wholesalo abuse from both parties and a bull-dog determination to get even with the follow who went back on him at tho wrong moment. Tho figures showing tbe wholesalo and retail trade for itibu are impossible even to approximate till later in tho month, but I am informed on tbo best of authority that in the dry goods business Lord Ic Taylor is a long dituince ahead. There are plenty of other figures to do ootainca oui i mink wnai i nave given will serve as camples, and I will only add that the city budcet for 1881 calls for 29.. 854,322, or an increase of $1,711,330 over 1880. If the bucolic law-makers at Albany will let ut alone lor a year it will not cost much in 1882 to run the city machinery. It is interesting to notice how tho funds tor, the expenses of the City Government for the current year are divided: Common Council, oi.zsu; finance Department, $205,370: Law, $143,148; Public Works, S2,44S,350; Parks, $641,500; Police. $3,400,740: Street cleaning,$735,000; Fire,$l,508,959; Health, j;,i,ui)j; unanues and uorrectlon,Sl,487, 416; Education, $3,002,095; Election Ex penses, $161,150, and soon to the end f tbe chapter. yuito disconnected with this arithmetical farewell dress parade of tho yejr that has left us, but decidedly apropot of the inaugu ration of 1881, was Ibe lact that on the last day of 1880 the flags over the City Hall were at half mast. Which was certainly suggestive of dead hopes, dead ambitions and all the rest of that sort of sentimental things; and while these emblems of city, slate and national glory swung sadly ia the breeze it Wus easy for many a lonely beart to recall the dear ones who wero with us only twelve months before, who would nev er more exenango wun us glad greetinir of Ik. i.il.i,. i;n, ti.. ...i - r " the holiday timo. The real cause for winch the flags were half-masted was the death of District Attorney Phelps, who was univer sally respected by men of both partita for bis sterling good qualities. Speaking of hi death reminds me of a somewhat singular coincidence. At his funeral on Sunday which was attended by a great number ot gentleman of local, and not a lew oi national prominence, a hymn was sung, which Mr. Phelns wrote in mm- ory of a dead friend. On tbe same day at a memorial service In honor or the memory of tho late Rev. Dr. Chopin, held i ter, Mass., a hymn was sung which was composed by the dead clergyman. The end of the old yoarand tliaheirinnlnir of tbe new has been prolifio of fires nol au uncomfortable thing to read of in view of the recent demoralized condition of the ther mometer.
