Great Snowstorms. in 1674 snow fell in England for elev- en days. But this was far surpassed. by the winter of 1683-84, which appears to have been the severest ever recorded, in that country. This was one of the oc- casions when the Tharnes was frozen over anda fair held thereon. The river was frozen from December ta February. Trees were split -in the forest by the violence of the cold, nearly all the birds perished, and the heavy snows made the roads in some parts of the country al- most impassable. The winter of 1708-9 was notable kr its three months' con- tinuous frost and. now. Ten years later a snowstorm on the borderlands of Sweden and. Norway caused. a ter rible disaster. The Swedish array was marching on Dronthelm, when they were overtaken on the mountains by a snowstorm so severe that 7000 of them perished, and the expedition had to be abandoned. The Norwegians have the credit of the introduetion of soldiers trained to manoeuvre on the snow, and Sh0(1 with a kind of snow -skate; but un der such circumstances as these they too would have struggled against the warring elements in vain. The snow- storms of that season reached to Brit- ain, and in the south and. west of Eng- land snow fell. farseveral days in suc- CeSSiOn early in January, and, as one of the sufferers remarks, there was "a very hard frost for a long tyrne, besides snow very often, and all things very deare, so that a halfepenn.y rowle weighed just a crown piece, anl two turneps sold for a peny, and coals wild for 40s. a quarter, and all the -is things, notwithstanding soe deare, was very bad in knish.' Nearly half a century passed. before there was any snowfall in England. at all approaching this, but in February; 1762, it snowed for eighteen days wAla- out ceasing. The 18th century closed as it hacl begun, with a succession of "hard winters." Looking through the records of these times we can well un- derstand the off -quoted remark of the " oldest inhabitants," that since they were boys the seasons have changed. -The winter of 1784 was one of the most severe of the series. Snow fell first on the 7th of October, and from that date until the 2nd of Apri1,[1785-177 days— there were only twelve days on_ which it did not either freeze or snow, or both. The winter of 1811 was long remember- ed. in many parts of England as that of the Great Frost."' All over -the coun- try the mail Coaches had.. to cease run- ning, ancl in many instances were aban- done& in the snow, the letters being sent On lir the guards on horseback. And even this means of conveyance proved unavailing in some localities, for wheu.the snow lay four feet deep in the streets of the great towns, it ro.ay be fairly presumed that it proved. a much more serious obstacle in the open country. Another remarkable snow year was 1820. In this year, as in1814, the quantity of snow that fell on. the moors and fells of the north, and on the great plateau of Dartennor was enor- Metier and several lives were lost. So far as Great Britain is concerned., no snowstorm for the past hundred years has approached in violence and extent that in December, 1836. After it had been mowing heavily for two days, by - the evening of the 26t11. the wind in- creased to a hurricane. The fall of snow that night was four to nine feet, and some of the snow -drifts were twenty, thirty, even fifty feet in depth. "The mails, all business and correspondence were stopped nearly a week, until the multitudes employed. had cut a way in the snow. Several lives were lost in. the anotv, which NVaS equally great all the island over," Since then there have been several wiuters in which, tliere have been heavy falls of snow, and some in which the mail coaches in. var- ious parts of the country bad to be dug out of the drifts, as happened to the once famous "Quicksilver" 'mail so re- cently as 1842. One night's snowfall was sufficient to bury the coach, and it took seventy men, working all, night, to cut a way througlithe drift and allow ib to proceed. i 1 ' much credit for the successes which the Russians, in the face of tremendous ob- stacles, have finally achieved. The Russian imperial family found itself in an exceedingly difficult position twelve months go. Forced. by the enthusias- tic agitat rs of Moscow toward a war which m st of necessity he long and bloody, they entered into a campaign almost v4th [reluctance; but once en- gaged in it the emperer and. the grand. dukes all showed. their willingness to share the perils and many of the priva- tions which fell to the lot of the hum- bler, and have been active froth the time of the crossing into Bulgaria at Snranitza until the surrender of Osman at Plevna. Although the Czar was for much of the time in delicate health, he refused to quit the field, and remained. in fever -ridden Bielaiong after it seemed danserous in the extreme for him to stay. An engineer officer of the United. States array who Spent some time in the Russian camps informed me that the Im,perial Majesty ogall the Russias was more indifferently lodged. at Biela than an et_merican colonel would be during an expedition on the Plains. The kit- chen of His Majesty was doubtless bet- ter served. than that of the common sol- dier,but the clouds of dust,the di:alights of air, the all but intolerable smelliathe occasional invading scorpion and the in- numerable inquisitive bugs, respected.

It amounts i althost to a Mania. If they are not dis- posed. to fight ye tiger or play poker, or bet their coin on any game of chance, they are sure to exhibit their propen- sity of betting in some way, and they will go their whole pile on anything, no matter how preposterous.. "I'll bet you §10 that man's name is Sneider," said_ one Californian to another,, as 8., Diall. who was an utter stranger to, both passed. by. "It's a *go," said. his esins- pamon. Inquiry was made, and the wager lost -by the manwho proposed it. Up in one of the Mountain tovvits a etaue-coach tipped over, and, it is. re- lated; as the passengers went .tumbling down a rocky embankment into a ardchs a fellow shouted: "I'll bet the td'rinks for all of Us that half of us get killed." The bet was taken, but the casualties were not fatal. A doctor reported that a, -well-known citizen who was at the point of death would. not live twenty minutes longer. "I'll bet 45. that he will," said, one of his friends. . The -wa- ger waS accepted, and the stakes Were scarcely put up when the report carae , that the man was dead. "Do you give it up?" asked the man that won. was the reply; "I'll now bet 410 that heisn't dead." The bet was taken and about that time the doctor reappeared. "Is the man dead, doctor !" the ques- tion was asked. "Yes, dead. as Julius Cassar.'1 "Then I've lost again," was the reply. "Now I'll bet 420 that he won't go into a five foot six coffin. I want to get square if Ican " I could. give other illustrations of this betting mania, which have coine under my ob- servation fully as absurd., but th.ese must suffiee. The betting is not eon - fined to any class or nationality. It is characteristic of all Californians, from the oldest to the youngest. It is not strange, therefore f the professional gambling fraternity is numerous in the spate. , I have been at a small country hotel in an interior town, and. of the fif- teen who were seated at the dinner table I was told. hat seven of them were reg- ular garoblers.---Sas. Francisco Letter to Boston. journal. 1 ,• ; ip• The Grail d Duke Nicholas. . The Grand Duke Nicholas, brother of the- Emperor and commanderin-chief of the Russian armies in Europe, arrived; in Tzarevitza towards evening, andtook up his quarters in a deserted cottage. The only sign of his presence was a small flag and an infantry band, Which astounted tite foiv Bulgariasis left intim village with some rather noisy selections from the repertoire of Maitre Offenbach. I first saw the Grand Duke engaged in. cooking liver and bacou over a huge fire precisely as our frontiersmen cook ven- ison in slices spitted on a long hard- wood stick. As evening approached. a certain amount of ceremony, was pre- erved in the yard of the cottage, where inost o the members of the staff had athered, but Nicholas paid small at- entionto it. He strode to and. fro with ong, elaatic, -swinging step, superintend - ng his awn, dinner, altholigh thero Werd umeroue servants in attendance. The eteran Coseack general Skobeleff, ather of the youthful general whose eckless heroism has given him fame hroughont Europe and America, had th his own hands .slaughtered and [reseed a sheep, and it is now roasting n the fashion which has bean known in he East for the last three thousand ears.. -Nicholas hes a tace which iu reimse S proud, imperious. end shows wonder - til for passion. A lightning- ike temper might at a moment's notice e betrayed by those keen eyes, ordin- arily filled with pleasant smiles. Quick n all his motions, he likes quickness in thers ; he rides a herse which it wears thers out to follow, and was fond. of milling away to some distant village, lid then sending for the others to come with him, while he was on the road o Tireova. He told with great glee how e left the palace of Cotroceni,in Buch- est, by stealth, went down to the anube, aud had half his plans perfect- bvf,,re any one outside of his immed- f ate pet-sou:A circle knew of it. lie speaks nglish as perfectly as a foreigner can ; was the first language that he learned, D.a. he had a Scotch nurse. His dress \ ii,lways simple in the extreme, and t , Under Fire. Most men who have been under fire will frankly confess that the sensation is anything but a pleaSant one. But ine spired by a sense of duty, and a lively enthusiasm, the anxious feeling 'soon passes off. The skirmishers load and tire, the gunners work their guns with- out mueli thought of their own danger.. Indeed it ie well if this indifference.does not go too far, for then reckleSa excite - men -b. -and careless haste take :the place of soldierly!deliberation and prudenee. At Waterloo; the fighting -between two armies armed with the, oldeveapons of short range was all at What We 310W Can close quarters. Themost effectiveraege for artillery was about 50,0 yards, and musketry fire. was exchanged at los S than half that distance. Rifled weapons of Thug range have changed.all this, and. the introduction of brew)); loading small arras has worked a perfect revolution on the battle. field. In 1806 the Prussian needle gun showedisithe fighting in Be - henna the terrible effeets that can be - produced byrapid rifle fire.: Every army in Europe was soon provided with breech loading rifles, and in , the War of 1870,. for the first:time, two gra-at armies tbsis formidably armed, Met in battle. In the first conflict of the war the Prussian, attacked in close order, I as they had done in 1866; but in the great battle, of Gravelotte, fought on.A.Ugust 18th, 1870, they learned a lesson which made them completely change their tactics; and every European army (but one) has fol- lowed their example. The deadliness of breech -loading fire has produced another effect upon tactics inebattle. The spade has taken a place second only to the rifle, and no general occupies a position in battle, even for a couple of hoere without rapidly streng- thening it With light 'entrenchments. These consist of a shalloW trench, the earth from Which is thrown up toward the enero.y se as to form a little parapet 1. frent of ib Thidis the shelter trench which we hear of so often. iniever corres- pondence. Effective shelter trenches can be constructed in from 18 minutes to half an hour, according to the nature of the ground and the skill of the men engaged in the work;• and they' have this advantage. that they cEm be contin- ually improved, the trench being deep- ened, the parapet raised, lima a ditch (mined outside of it, if the position is occupied long enough; so that what at first was a mere shelter trench gra,du- Illy becomes la formidable line of earth- vorks ; a tren.c1.- is a very .efficient pro- ection againkt artillery 'lire, for unless while to accept the deference paid. him by the officers who surround him seems second nature to one bred. to -it, he will not receive it from strangers, and'-eVen. dislikes to be'called by his title. On. the whole, he has the streugth of char- acter sail fine sense of honor, which are the family traits, with a winsome. fas- cinating: Manner added to them. •Of hisabilityas a military commander the world has been able to judge. Although he has been surrounded by - competent advisers- he is nevertheless- entitled t� he shells drop actually -into it, or upon. he pdrapet, the. shells are not likely to hurt the men crouchingor lying down n it; and such. accurate hits are rare, most of the projectiles falling a little be- hind or a little short- of the line aimed at. As a matter of actually.; killing and maiming a large number of the enenly„ it is coming to be. believed that the old artillery of Napoleon's , days, used at close quarters—that is,1 at about 100 yards—against heavy masses was more deadly than tie modern rifled gun. Ar- tillery is now ffective up to2,500 yards, and. sometineels even beyond that range. Rifle fire gen rally begins ,at 400 yards,: though picke marksmen may be en- gaged. at1ongr ranges. The ordinary fighting range of the rifle is now equal to that of the field-aun Of 130 years ago, and the emir cy ofbthe fire is increased in even a gre4er ratio. With the old musket the claps:lees of a bullet finding a human billet were extremely uncer- tain. At 100 yards there was a devia- tion of two feet to right or left, which at 200 yards had , increased te more than six feet. The average deviation of the Martini-Hen/7 is about seven inches at 300 yards, a little less than a foot at 500, and about 20 inches at 800i or less than the error of the oldmnsketiat 100 yards. Without aiming, a rapidity! of fire equal to 25 shots per rni riute has been obtain- ed with the Martini -Henry. How dif- ferent from the weapon us din the Pes nin.sula and at Waterloo! , • , Bear Hunting.. The following singular means of cap- turing or killing the bear is said to be frequently pra ctised by Russian peasants Is who cannot ea ily procure fire -arms. As is well known, the bear ha e a, fondness for honey, and will track his way a great distance to where the wild bees have filled some h4low tree. i Their sting cannot hurt him, and they and their stomp are entirely- at his mercy. ln a forest known tii contain bears,the hunt- ers examine all the hollow trees till they discover a Wild bee -hive. A branch of the tree is then chosen, directly above the hole; if there is no sueli branch a stout peg is driVen into the! trunk. To this peg a Strong cord is fastened; and to the end of 'the cord a heavy stone or a cannon ball is suspended, at about half a foot from the ground. The bear in his researches comes upon the treas- ures of honey. The pendulous barrier obstructs and incommodes him a great deal. He is an irritable biaite—in such cases one of the most irritable as well as stupid in the forest. He begins by shoving the weight or stone one side;: but it presses against his head,- and. he gives it a slight knock to free himself from the inconvenience. It recoils a moment and he receives a slight tap on the ear. His temper is roused, Tand he again pushes off the hard and heavy mass, but more violently, he gets rather a heavy blow on the side of his skull, on its return. He becomes furious, and with a powerful jerk sends the rock swinging away. The penclulam cannot be the first to tire of this game; and it is ; a game in which the blow S are felt on one side ex- clusively. The; boar alone suffers; and the point is that he suffers as ranch by ' the blows he gives as those be gets. He takes double punishment. His very re- taliations are all against himself; and for every furious push which makes his skull ache, he receives an: immediate equivalent, which makes itache again: At last his rage is unbounded.; he livers the rock; he strikes it; he bites it; but whenever hewould. thrust his head in- to the hive, back on his ear falls the ob- struc tion, againet which his terrible hu a or the bloWe of his paw 8,170; of nogava. The brute is maddened. Be faces his strange and pertinacious tormenter, and once more makes it rebound from his skull. But ba4k again it swings like a curse, which returns upon the head from which it startd.. The bear falls exhausted under these reiterated blows, D, one more violent than another; and if he be not dead, the hunters, who have watched the contest from ,their hiding place, soon despatch him.—Russia and the -1?ussians." • Cooln.ess Under Pire, Toward th.e close of the fight of Ink- ermann, Lord Raglan, returning from taking leave of General Strangways, mot a sergeant carrying water for the wounded. The sergeant drew himself up to salute, when a; rouudishot came bounding over the hill and lihiocked his forage cap out of his hand. The man picked it up, dusted it on, his knee, placed it caref-Oly on his ,head, and made the salute, not a ratiscle of his countenance moying the while. ",A. neat thing that, myiman," said Lord Raglan. 1 "'Yes, my lord," returned the officer, with another salute, "but a miss is as good as a mile."1 The cominander was probably not sur- prised by such an eXhibitioii of sang froid, being himself good that Way. He was badly hurt at Waterloo and Says the'Prince of Or nge, who was itt the) hospital : "1 was 110t CO3 scious of the presence of Lord Fitzroy t omerset until 1 heard hiM call out in his ordinary tone: 'Hallo 'don't carry that &nit away fill I have taken off my ring!' Neither wound. nor operation had extorted a groan from his lips."---Champers's Jour*. A New StOry of the -Pope. A. good story is told of the Pope. Three E'nglish.nien were introduce& to him, one of whoM had been only two days in. Rome, the other a month, and. the third a year. The conversation nat- urally turned up(n Rome itself, and the ) _Pope, turning to that one of hiSguests who had beeu bu two days in the Eter- ual City, said to him: "You, I suppose, have seen a great deal of Rome ?" "Oh, yes, a. great deal,' replied the English- man. The Pope then turned to him of the mouth's stay - and said: "You, I suppose, have not Seen so. very much. of Rome?" "No, not very Much," wasthe reply. To the last Englishman th.e Pope said : "You I should think, have seen -very little o Rome?" • " Very lit - tie indeed," was t.3. o answer. The Pope smiled benignly, and dismissed his auclience.—Londoa Examiner. . [ .
