Dr. Van derpoel attributes this to the fact that last winter was the mildest known in Havana for many years, and when they do not have what is called the "Northors," or severe weather, during tho winter, the germs of the contagion are not deatroyed, but remain inactive until the first ap? proach of warm weather. Buch has been the case there during tho past winter. The germs of tho disease cannot be de? stroyed unless the tomperatnro he at the freezing point. Ho says that the yellow fevor has been latterly creeping North? ward along the coast, and that it is very probable its ravages during the coming summer will be felt in higher latitudes. It has been estimated that fully 150 cases ooourred last summer in Charleston, 55 of which proved fatal, and this year Dr. Yanderpoel thinks it is very likely that the plague will be felt with moro se? verity at that port For the present, however, he said- there was not the slightest danger of the contagion being conveyed to cities along the Atlantic coast by vessels leaving Havana. Tho gorms from whioh it springs do not germinate until the temperature is over seventy degrees, and until tho thermome? ter rises abovo this point the Atlantic coast cities are safe. The Methodist Recorder's winter article on "The Overcoat Doxology" should be adapted to spring and summer service: ??Praise Qod from whom"?and all through the congregation there is a general stir to find hats and draw on overcoats, so that by the time those who have nothing more important to do than to join in the singing havo como to "Praise Him all creatures here below," a number of these same "creatures" are in a deadly wrestle with sleeves and lining by a backward measurement of arms. Much they are thinking about praising tho Highest! Their chief concern seems to be that they shall be ready to dart out as soon as the benediction is pronounced, to stand on the side-walk in front and criticise the people as they come out, or hurry away to some less "tiresome" place. Well, well! and the saints abovo ?"Ye heavenly host"?how pitiably they must look down upon thin contest between overcoat and praise to God! Hearing the appeal of a divided, half? hearted congregation coming up from beneath some Heaven-pointing spire, is it likely their pure spirits will be wrought into a greater devotion and thankfulness? We need not answer. About one year from now, the national committees of the Republican and Demo? cratic parties wUl meet in Washington to deoide upon the time and place for hold? ing the Presidential conventions of 1876. The last were held in Philadelphia and Baltimore, and it is probable that next year both will go West St Louis was desirous in 1872 of having the Demo? cratic convention held there, and as she will repeat her request, it is possible that it may go there next year. The Repub? licans of the West are anxious to have thoir convention held in Chicago, which is so well fitted for a national conven? tion by its extensive hotel accommoda? tions. It is generally believed that Governor Tilden nas materially improved bis pros? pects for the Presidency by his latest victory. Having cleansed the New York Tweed gang and sending its captain to prison, and having attacked and over? come the great canal ring, which had become so entrenched that men in power were afraid to oppose it, it is thought that the Governor will be popu? larly regarded as just the person who can clean out the Augean stable at Wash? ington. At any rate, ho is at this time at tho height of his popularity, and Re? publican as well as Democratic journals are sounding his praises with great uuanimity. Bishop Ames tells a story of a slave master in Missouri, in the olden time of negro vassalage, who said to his chattel: "Pompey, I hear you are a great 1trencher." "Yes, massa, de Lord do lelp mo powerful sometimes." "Well, Pompey, don't you think the negroes steal little things on tho plantation?" "I'se mighty 'fraid they does1, massa." "Then, Pompey, I want you to preach a sermon to tho negroes against stealing." After a brief reflection, Pompey replied: "You see, massa, dat wouldn't never do, 'cause 'twould trow such a col'ness over de meetin'." A Bigamist's Pbefzrencx.?John Ring? ham was tried in tho New York Court of Quarter Sessions, on Monday, on a charge of bigamy. Both his wives wore in tho court-room. Ha pleaded guilty and refused to change the plea. The Recorder asked him whioh ho would prefer, to be discharged to live with his two wives or sentenced to State prison for three years. The prisoner promptly expressed a preferenoe to be locked up, and the Judge sentenced him to State prison for three years at hard laber. A New Railroad Law m Virginia. ?

Mr. Julian Hawthorne, still pursuing his "Saxon Studios," di?ousses the meer-| Hchaumandtohftooo-amoking in Dresden: The goddess Nicotine has a fund of good I sense, which prompts her, as a general thing, to put a smile, either broad or latent, into tho carving of her pipes and and cigar-holders. Tho material is more I beautiful than eithor marble or porcelain, and is delightful to work in. A man of I leisure, education and refinement, might benefit both himself and the world by devoting his .whole attention to cutting and polishing mocrschaum. There is unlimited held for inventive design, for taste, for humor, for manual skill and delicacy. And how pleasant to reflect that each pipe, over which we thought and labored our best, will become the bosom friend of some genial, appreciative fellow, who will discover its good points and be proud of them and love them! For all good smokers are married to their pipe; are sensitive to its critics and jealons of its rivals. And when the pipe is worthy of affection, it endears itself ever more and more; and, though it be colored black with nicotine, is tinged yet moro deeply with tho rich I essence of mellow reminiscences and con> for table associations. The Viennese do their work well, and perhaps have a special knack at it I Thero was once, in this window which wo are now contemplating, a Skyo ter? rier's head, about the size of a clinched fist with mouth half open, and hair on end, whioh only needed a body to begin barking. It was bought by a Scotchman for ?12, whioh, if the animal was of the true meerschaum breed, was dog-cheap. This question of genuineness, by-the-by, is one whioh every tyro believes he can settle at a glance. There are, he tells you, a few simple and infallible tests easily learned and readily applied; he talks about weight, tint, texture, spongi ness, and assures you that if you aro ever taken in. only your own carelessness is to blame. It is a fallacy from beginning to end. There \p no way of "telling" a meer? schaum except to smoko it for at least a year. We may amuse ourselves with ap-1 plying toats, if we like, but they will demonstrate only our fatuity. The dealer is as impotont to decide as any? body, so far as judgment by inspection goes; unless he be prompted by the maker. But even the maker will be at a loss betweon two pipes, the history of] whose making he has forgotten. We might go back still farther, and ascribe tho only trustworthy knowledge to the Natolian miner, who digs the clay out of the earth. Meerschaum is like woman's heart -as soft, as light, as brittle, and as enigmatic; and only time and use can prove it true! Pipes are bought chiofly by foreigners. Germans use meerschaum in the form of cigar-holders?"spitzon" they call them. Spitzen are economical, but not other? wise desirable; they enable ns to smoke our cigar to the bitter end, bnt they are an unnecessary and troublesome incum brance. Nevertheless, they aro popu-1 lar, for thoy color more evenly and far thor toward the mouth than pipes do, and they are more striking in appear? ance. But I scarcely think they insinu ate themselves far into their owner's secret affections. A man of sentiment may havo vanity enough to wear one in Eublic, but -in private he will not bo I othered with it Coarse, hard men, devoid of sentiment, &nd of the fine! quality which can appreciate tho quiet charms of a pipe, are precisely fitted to enjoy the ostentation ot a Spitze. Tobacco plays so important a role in a Saxon's lifo?bo perfumes the air and im-1 pregnates the lungs?that we are insen-1 sibly led to. discuss it at some length. Probably there are not ten righteous I men in Dresden who do not smoke or snuff?chewing, luckily, is unknown, though I believe the practice originated hereabouts. I have often met 100 men I in succession, no one without his cigar, j Cigar-smoking, it should be observed, is ] not an expensive habit in Dresden; it may be indulged to excess for not more than ?2 a year. Half as much will pro vide three not intolerable cigars daily. Moreover, it is to be borne in mind that no true-born Saxon ever throws away a I cigar or any part of one. He consumes 1 it in installments, and his pockets and cupboard ure full of pestilent remnants from half an inch to three-inches long. I A learned professor whom I visited oc? casionally, passed his life at a study desk, every loop-hole and oranny of which harbored cigar-stumps of various ages and sizes. My llrst supposition was an eccentric recluse, whose whim it was I to rake togelhor this kind of unsavory j relics. But I presently saw him select tho most ancient, stalest stump from its hiding-place in the most oobwebbed cranny, and kindle it into activity with a sulphur match. He preferred such re? suscitated corpses?an old tobacco-vul? ture, with a morbid craving for ear ion! This same people smoke Russian cigarettes?tho most etherial guise under which tobacco presents itself. The variety used is Turkish, and is the purost and finest in the world, but so p ungent that?except hookahs?the ciga? rette is the only available form for it Ladies smoke these cigarettes, though only the Poles and Russians do so pub? licly?they, indeed, smoke cigars quite as readily, and for my own pen I much enjoy the spectacle. Not only do they appear admirable as regards their dainty manipulation and oycnlationof tho wood, but their smoking lends an Oriental flavor to the scene, whereof the fumes of tho Latakia are but the material emblem. When an English or American lady smokes, she simply commits a small im? propriety; but in the mouth of a fair fo? reigner, who has been brought up to know no better, a cigar is a wand to con? jure up romantic visions and Eastern fantasies. The gentle reader will under? stand ine aright, nor seek to put me out of countenance by evoking images of coarse, black-pipo-pufling Indian squaws and Irish women. A Lono Game or Cuess.?A game of choss .between - Europe and New York; city, started id 1859 by correspondence, is oonoluded, after having been in pro? gress for sixteen years.

DICKINSON Will deliver her intensely thrUling sketch, entitled "JOAN OF AEC I" 6CrpO sum up ANNA DICKINSON and B express her beat, in fewest words, as she is in reality and personaUty, it is no extravagance of speech to say that of the many strange and remarkable per? sonages that talent, ambition and revo? lutions have given to ? the world, none have been so marked, on the woman side I of the race, as Miss Dickinson. She is the crowning personage of a peculiar olass of genius and greatness, headed by Hypatia, and succeeded by Joan of Aro and Fanny Wright In ability, she stands side by side with the former and the lat? ter, and in the wonderful display of her. meteoric eloquence and brilliant genius, she ranks with Joan of Arc, the Heroine of one nation and the captive of another. 1 Her eloquence is not the studied acquire? ment of sohools and seminaries, but the gift of God. It transcends all discipline, and hi the most perfect fruit of genius. In oratory, no man is her superior. Her eloquence draws multitudes of men and women, of divers creeds and nationali? ties, to hear her discussions, and in fu? ture ages she will shine in history as the brightest girl that the nineteenth century gave to America."?Philadelphia Press.
