The French Senatorial elections have resulted in overwhelming Re publican victories. Of Conservative Senators whose terms expired only thirteen have been re-elected, while on the other hand every retiring Re publican has been returned.

It is hoped that every paper in the State will be represented at the coming meeting. The intensely cold weather of last week extended through the whole United States and Canada. In the Eastern States destructive snow storms accompanied the severe cold, and all railroad traffic was for sever al days entirely suspended, and many people were frozen to death.

They are remarking with great unanimity that so many people insist upon admiring him that he is tod-ay real ly the most formidable Republican candidate for the Presidency in 1880.

The Ash-Murphy trial at St. James, which has attracted consid erable attention in this vicinity, ter minated last Wednesday.

She em ployed a skillful physician, but his efforts svere not successful in pro ducing other than temporary relief. At last she prayed to God for relief. ITor seven days she prayed, setting aside all medecine, and on the morn ing of the 30th of November she awoke, perfectly well. Since her recovery she'has had a good appetite and sleeps well. She is able to fvalk in the street, and has felt no relurn of her terrible disease. The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the St. Peter Tribune last Wednes day simultaniously published a lenghty reply of the trustees of the hospital for insane to the report of the Senate investigating committee. The trustees severely criticise the report of the committee as unjust and malicious, and back up their own statements with abundant proof. Mr. Kerr clears away all of his deficiency except 342.68, and this amount he is prepared to make good to the State. When it is taken into consideration that he hashandled nearly a million and a half of money the deficiency cannot be charged to dishonesty. The St. Paul Globe makes the fol lowing sensible remarks on resump tion: "Resumption being accomplished, temporarily, at least, it is the duty of all citizens, without regard to their previous opinions, to do all in their power to make it a fixed fact Permanency in our financial affairs is of greater importance than the question of whether this, that, or the other form of money shall be the recognized circulating medium. Our business men want to know what they have to depend upon, and when they are assured that we have touched hardpan, will feel much more like branching out than if matters remained unsettled. While we confess to some misgivings as to the result of the experiment of re sumption, we shairbe glad to chro nicle the fact that it is' successful, for anything is preferable to "uncer tainty. A wise, conservative finan cial policy wilLresulfc in great benefit, to the country."

The ruling of this office,therefore, contained in the let ter to Collector Can-oil, of October 2d, 1878, so far as it relates to Hos tatter's Stomach Bitters, is hereby revoked." One of our State exchanges says that their county officers would gladly serve for less salary per an num if their terms of office was lenghtened to four years. Now these men must either receive very large salaries or else they prefer to hold their offices for the honor of the thing rather than the pay. To lenghten the terms of all the county officers to four years would be a wise step, one that \v ould meet the hearty approbation of the people, and would be a saving to the counties and the candidates but we see no good rea son why the salaries should be cut down if their terms are so lenghten ed. They are, under* the present law, as a general thing, poorly enough paid, and to further cut down the emoluments of their of fices would be unwise economy. We are not in favor of paying count} officials exhorbitant fees or salaries, but we believe that everybody should be paid according to the work that they perform. Take for instance the county treasurer of this county. The duties of his office require his constant attention. He has vast responsibilities resting upon him and must give bonds in the sum of $35,000 yet, he receives no more compensation than any good dry goods clerk can command,with no re spousibilities resting upon him ex cept that he must wait upon his cus tomers in a gentlemanly manner. What holds good as regards the county treasurer equally applies to the other officers. If the Legisla ture is going to do any tinkering with the law regulating the compen sation of county officials, let them take hold of the matter in a busi ness-like manner allow the county officials their right and just dues and there will be less roguery and fewer defalcations. Albin Correspondence* 1J- ALBIN, Jan. 1st, 1878 Editor Review. !New Year's morning dawned clear and cold. As the sun mounted the eastern sky, a brilliant array of circles and sun-dogs presented one of those gorgeous displays of grandeur and beauty for which Minnesota is so just ly renowned. Many persons errone ously suppose that sun-dogs are the harbingers of very cold wheathor. When in fact they indicate, not that the weather will soon be veiy cold, but that it is already very cold. This is evident from the cause of these phe nomena. Mr. Webster defines a sun dog as "A luminous'spot occassionally seen a few degrees from the sun, sup posed to be formed by the intersection of two or more halos, or in a manner similar to that of halos." Hence sun dogs are formed by the" intersection of two or more halos. But what are halos? The same lexi cographer defines it thus: "HALOA luminous circle, usually prismatically colored, around the sun or moon, and supposed to be caused by the retraction of light through crystals of ice in the atmosphere. Connected with halos there are often White bands, cropes, or arches in the perpendicular positions, resulting from the same atmospheric conditions." It appears then that sun-dogs are formed by the intersection of halos, and that halos are caused by the re fraction of light through crystals of ice in the atmosphere: Heuce it is apparent that such phenomena are only seen when the weather is very cold. The concurrence of cold weather and sun-dogs on the 1st inst. at least, lends some" evidence to the tiuth of this theory. By the way, what about the balance of the winter. Compared with last winter, December was very cold. Though not a prophet, let me suggest that the latter part of the present winter will be very much like the former, but more snow in the latter part of the Jan. and, especially, in the month of February. Hence we belie\e that this winter willbo colder than, last winter, though by no means a vere,one.|^p S jj* A \4
