tribution by Judge Touhgek, author

Pulpit and the Pew."
The Weather for January.
The general correctness of Vennor's
weather prognostications will make his
prophecy as to the weather for January
of interest. It is as follows :
As will have been seen from -the fore
cast of December, I anticipate that New
Year's callers will have heavy eleighing
this year from Montreal to Washington,
D. C, and that a cold snap during the
first quarter of this month will preserve
it for that period. I expect blockades of
snow in the United States about the 7th
and 6th of January, and rainy dayu dur
ing the mouth will be exceedingly few.
The second quarter will open with
heavy snow fulls and1 terminate in a cold
snap.
The middle of the month will bring
snow falls whleh will terminate in wild
er weather toward the end of the third
quarter. This thaw, which will be in
terrupted by a brief cold spell, will ex
tend from about the 18th of the mouth
into February.
The record of this month will show it
will have been a severe one.and the gen
eral condition of the weather will prob
ably remind us of some of what are
called " real old-fashioned winters."
Snowed up.
Bavside, N. J., Dec. 28. A passenger
train on the Southern Vineland Railroad
was snowbound in a drift near Borden-,
town for sixteen hours. While etlorts
were being made to dig the tr'alu out,
the passengers, nineteen in number,
were provided with foou by the railroad
company. At a late hour last night the
passengers were carried out on a loco
motive, the train being abandoned.
Red Bank, N. J., Dec. 28. All trains
on the New York and Freehold Rail
road are running on time. A powerful
locomotive, with a plow attached, is
continually running over the track to
keep it clear of drifts. The Keyport
Stage Line lias been abandoned, the
roads being in) passable.
Fight With Train Robbers.
fiuierintendent Vickes,of thePulmaa
Palace Car Company, furnished particu
lars of a conductor's rough experience
with a set of Texas desperadoes, who
boarded a train on the International
and Great Northern road at Lovelady,
north of Houston, Texas, on Thursday
night. Three ruffians, each holding a
couple of Derringers, entered the ladies'
car at that place, and upon being told
by the brakeman that they could not
remain there, knocked him down and
held lil m in one corner until Conductor
Tine came along.
Before the conductor had time to grasp
the ugly situation, he received a smart
blow in the face nnd was told that If he
stirred a peg a bullet would be sent
through his skull. The ruffians said
that they would stand no nonsense
from any blue-bellied Yankee on the
train. After this they passed through
this sleeper thoroughly overawed the
passengers by pointing a derringer in
every face.
The conductor ran forward, and was
followed by one of the ruffians, who
threatened to settle him at that moment
but the conductor quickly reached back
in the corner for a monkey-wrench and
dealt his assailant a tremendous blow
over the head, which knocked him
senseless upon the outer platform. The
passengers by this time gathered cour
age, and rushed forward. The other
two ruffians thereupon jumped from the
train, and the third, in an insensible
condition, rolled oil. But for the
prompt action of the conductor in felling
the boldest of the trio, loss of life and
robbery would have ensued.
Shocking Death of a Horse.
A valuable horse belonging to Frank
lin Miller, farmer on one of Dr. James
C. lilvlngood's farms near Stouchsburg
killed himself In a very singular way.
Mr. Miller was in the stable a short time
before and all was . right. Boon after
dinner he returned to the stable, when
to his horror the whole stable was be
spattered with blood, even the other
horses being literally covered, and Lis
best horse, a 5-year-old, was prostrate In
tue stall dying. . It appears the horse
kicked the boards loose In the stall
which were nailed to a post six by seven
Indies thick and about six feet high. In
kicking the horse, fell astride this post
with Ids hind legs. The force with
which he fell on the post caused it to
run clear through his body up to the
spine. In his agony he threw himself
off again, and fell to the ground, where
he died in a few minutes. His entrails
were protruding and pieces of flesh ad
hered to the post.
More Lives Than a Cat.
A patient in the hospital of the Uni
versity of Michigan, when five years
old, fell from a shed and broke his ribs,
both collar bones, his breast bone, his
right arm in two places, his left arm
above the elbow, and his right hand; at
the age of twelve he dislocated his hip
and broke his right ankle ; in a quarrel,
soon after, he was shot in the other
ankle; when the war broke out he
joined the Union urmy, was bayoneted
in the knee, captured by the rebels,
almost starved In prison, sunstruck,
hurst a vein in his leg and almost bled
to death. After leaving the army he
was struck by a falling tree and had
bis skull fractured' and lost eight teeth.
During his life, also, he has had cholera
and yellow and spotted fever.
Effects of a Dream. -
Newakk, Dec, 27. To day a woman
came to the jail and asked to see Lam
mens, the murderer of Meierhoff'er, who
is to be hanged January Gth. Mutual
recognition followed and It transpired
that she was Lam mens' wife. While
livlrlg In Brooklyn sixteen years ago
Lamtnens was convicted of burglary
and sent to Slug Sing, afterward to Au
burn and latter to the Utica Insane
Asylum, and still later was reported
dead, hence the wife did not suspect her
husband when she read a familiar name
as that of the Newark convict. She
was induced by a dream to make the
visit to-day.
, A Jealous Brother.
Henry Ostrouder, aged 20, shot and
killed his brother George Layman Os
tronder, aged 20, nt tbeir home near
Camden. Henry was jealous because
his little sister was caressing his brother
and he spit tobacco juice in her face.
George warned him to stop when Henry
shot hi ill through the eye killing him
instantly. The murderer, who was ar
rested, says George had his pistol half
cocked, but he was too quick for him.
He charges that George was trying to
ruin the whole family. Both men are
laborers.
A Missing Train.
Fkedeiucksmjkg, Va., Dec. 81. The
dally mail train on the Potomac, Fred
ericksburg and Piedmont Railroad (not
the lUchmond.Frederlcksburg and Poto
mao road), which left here on Wednes
day morning for Orange Court-House,
has not beeu heard from up to this time,
all communication being cut ofl" by the
recent suow storm. Trains on the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potamao
Railroad have been considerably de
layed. K9An Erie railroad conductor was
handed a ticket Issued iu 1800 while bis
train was leaving Attica, a New York
village, a few days ago, He asked the
passenger where be got it, and the latter
said that It was connected with a curi
ous history. He left home when a small
boy, and not hearing from his parents
for years, supposed them to be dead.
In 1800 he had occasion to go from Attica
to Buffalo, bought his ticket, and missed
the train. As he hnd to go before the
next Erie train for Buffalo should come
along, he bought a New York Central
Railroad ticket and took a train on that
line. He got to talking to the paiwenger
sitting next to him, and presently found
that it was his own father. The old
gentleman had thought his son dead, for
he knew that he hud Joined the Union
army, beeu taken prisoner, and sent to
Andersonvllle. He had made his will
and left all his property to a nephew,
but he resolved then to destroy the will
for the benefit of his son. That was a
lucky missing of a train, lucky to the
extent of $35,000 worth of property se
cured thereby.
Facts Stranger than Fiction.
Sylvester Hatton enlisted In the war
In 1800, and was reported killed. His
wife married again and removed to Mad
ison, Ind. He soon after turned up, but
finding how a flu Irs stood did not make
himself known, but went to Missouri.
The wife has since died, and now his
story comes out, and he has sent for
his daughter, who has just left to Join
him in Sedalla.

An Unfulfilled Prophecy.
Wm. Carney, of Erie had, a presenti
ment that he would die at 2 o'clock,
Sunday morning. The lawyer was call
ed and his will was made, but the quiet
ing dose the doctor gave him carried the
patient over till the next morning.
Then Carney was mad, because he was
swindled he says, and the grave was
cheated by the trickery of a lawyer and
doctor.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WnumaTOM, D. C, December 29, 1880.
Wild rumors are flying about concerning
Senator Blaine's being appointed Secretary of
State by President Garfield. It Is said by those
who ought to know best that Mr. Blaine I)
preparing for a European lour of eight months,
leaving this country, In March and returning
next November. He would go In February if
It were not for the close vote la the Senate
after March 8rd. Au apparently authentic
statement la to the effect that Mr. Blaine will
join his friend, tbe Hon. William Walter
Phelps, In Rome as early In tbe spring as pos
sible. Mr. Phelps Is no In Italy aod it Is
known that hs has been expecting Mr. Blaine
and another friend to join him In the spring.
There are rapidly Increasing signs of a broil
within the Republican party. The trouble Is
between the President, and Senator Conkling,
with probability that President elect Garfield
will be down Into the quarrel. Tbe New York
appointments are the bone of contention. Tbe
President has filled a considerable number of
federal offices In that State lately, all with
antl-Conkllng men. Tbe administration has
placed the chips upon It's shoulder, and dares
Conkllng to knock It on. There are many
friends of Garfield who are advising him to
cut loose from Senator Conkllng, among whom
may be named Secretary Evarti and Sherman,
and there Is a suspicion that the President Is
endeavoring to throw his enemy Into bad odor
with bis successor in the Presidency. Whether
Garfield will feel compelled to countenance
tbe quarrels of bis predecessor Is another
matter.
Mr. Prescott, tbe commissioner on tbe part
of tbe United States to negotiate a treaty with
China, has arrived at San Francisco and will
at once come to Washington, bringing wlth
him tbe new emigration treaty. A commercial
treaty was also negotiated by this commission,
tbe principal features of which, It is said, are
highly advantageous to tbe United States.
Under this treaty government allows all cotton
goods exported from tbe United States to that
country to enter at a merely nominal rate of
duty on tbe condition that no opium or nlco-
tine shall be exported from this country to
China. i
By this practical removal of the dnty on
cotton goods tbo United States is made a more
than equal competitor with England for this
valuable trade, and the conditions affixed to
this concession by tbe Chinese government iu
regard to opium will force Great Britain to
surrender either the trade in opium, which In
her East Indian possessions Is a leading Indus
try, or else to permit tbe United States to
absorb nearly the whole of the trade In cotton
goods, the manufactare of which Is also large
ly carried on throughout British India.
Tbe results of the labors of tbe commission
are regarded by the President and Secretary of
State as eminently satisfactory, and nnder the
operations of the commercial treaty, It Is
claimed, a new and valuable Held will be
opened up In the East for manufacturers of tbe
United States.'
An army officer said to-day Gen. McDowell
has been rewarded for having come from tbe
Pacific coast to New York to vote for Garfield,
bat his vote cost the Government about 91,200.
He got an order from tbe War Department for
himself and ald-de-camp to come East, and
under that order both of them drew their regu
lar mileage and allowances, amounting to
about f 1,200. Tbe records will show the fact.

The Handsome Nlekle rioted New Home
Lamp being Introduced to the public this Season
Is the nioit meritorious article ever offered
Agents to make money with, Is safer, and more
convenient than the Student Lamp, which has
heretofore had the reputation of being the safest
lamp made, It has a clamp to firmly attache
It to the Sewing Machine, Piano, Organ, Desk,
eto. The fear of the ordinary lamp being aod
dently upset or thrown from the table, Is entirely
relieved by this simple elamp contrivance. It
can be adjusted to throw the light Just where It
Is wanted to suit the eyes, andean be converted
Into a handsome wall lamp. It has the best
argnnd burner, a filling Indicator, and conveni
ent match box, and Its price Is within the reach
of every one. It has been fully tested, and
editorially eadorsed by the "Western Christian
Advocate," "Am. Christian Review," "Herald
and Presbyter," "Journal and Messenger," and
"Christian Standard," the leading Religious
papers of Cincinnati, and Is endorsed by the
Mayor and Post-Master of Cincinnati the Agent
of the American Kxpreu Company and Presi
dents of Insurance Companies, as bei ng the safest
most convenient and best lamp made.
There are three reasons why Agents should
seek such au article to canvass for llrst for Its
absolute surety and great convenlence.lt Is need
ed In every home second Its low price makes Its
sale Immense, third It will be a credit to handle
such an article. One southren Agent writes, It
sells faster than Gen. Lee's Portrait sold right
after the war, another writes It beats the palmy
days of the Hewing Machine, Its rapid sate, low
price, and liberal terms surprise old Agents.
