WjB: ,KKLY—Same rate*as lor the Dailv. Mr, Randall is keepittf* '•cry qniet at present. His plans, u be has any, are not kDown even by tbe men who are supposed to be bis followers. He is very much diegrnntled because ol the defection of the Lonisiana men, upon whose assistance he was most confidently relying, and it looks as if he no longer confides in anybody- He has never before been in such straits, and his methods re being watched with interest. The Republicans are rushing to the Speaker's room and enrolling themselves for recognition during tbe tariff debate. So many of them, indeed, are making application that tbe suspicion arises that a part of their programme of delay is to con sume time in speechmaking. The Speaker, as a rule, is a roost indul gent ruan, hut he will probably checkmate so palpable^an effort on the part of the Republicans to post pone action by the House on the Mills bill until after the Si. Louis Convention. The average tariff speech is about two hours in length, and over hundred members have sig nified their desire to speak. The av erage legislative day, after the morn ing business has been transacted, is only about three hours long.- It can easily be seen, therefore, that unless night sessions are ordered and the legislative day lengthened it will be June before genera! debate is eoncluJ ed. i The year 1888 seem* to have some thing i it to disturb the normal bal i anee in weather and atmospheric economy. Its record so far is proba bly bejonod all modern parallels, as j New York is at any time prepared to qualify with the utmost confidence [ : It has been the severest winter in Eu | rope in tbe memory of thc present generation. In East Prussia there | was a recent fall of snow of fifteen to eighteen and twenty feet (not i inchest and the inhabitants are intici | pating far greater calamities from tbe thaw than tbe fail of this nnparallel , ed and wide-standing avaianche. Toe . i Vistula and Nogot rivers in Germany have inundated 400 square miles of rich alluvial lands, and there is not tbe slenderest possibility of the 30- 000 inhabitants driven from their homes and their lands doing any thing in tbe present year in the way of cultivation The Oder and Wartb have o»erlowed sevacty-two villages and five town?, iu Domitoz. iu Aleck enbnrg. and Louz.ro. in Prussia, there axe also *0.000 to 80.000, peo pie temporarily dispossessed by ex¬ traordinary freshets- The people of the North European continent in the last quarter of 1887 were perhaps felicitating themselves V their exemption from such freaks of tbe el ersects as submerged thousands of square miles m China list fill, just as New York wondered . t'.e blizzards of Dakota —■■■■■■■ • • • — A Grral Battle 1* The totuiawdly demon goingon in u.- Lutv.ar. -j - :v. victory <w the impure blood ,triv. -1 g*. drag over eonstilutton, to re > 1 x Rh to Tietins* so the gratae.

A SlfiGESTIOS TO THE qi*EE!l. It is rumored—not, however, on authority that is either credible 1 definite—that a vacancy in the [ household of and Queen that the Victoria j about to occur, post, held by has a been ‘‘well promised known peer J poet to a j The post in question j not rank very high in the bier j of tbe household. It, indeed, | precedence of the places held ! the Royal l’hysicians and Sur Chaplains, Painters,Sculptors, anJ Musicians, but its comes after the clerk of tbe tbe Groom of the Robes, and Pages of the Black Stairs. Tbe of the post is not great. It to be JllOO a year and a tierce I Canary wine, but of late years the having beeu^found not always supply inspiration fer the duties, been withheld." Reference is, of course, made to noble office of Poet Laureate, occupied by tbe poet Tennyson now held by Lord Tennyson. irresponsible rumor lias it that his Lordship will resigu and that the Queen intends appointing as his sue Sir Edwin Arnold, formerly of tbe Daily Telegraph, Asia,'' and ai j author of “The Light of the Prince of Wales is said to ! Mr. Lewis Morris. The News attaches no importance this gossip. We have not the j idea that Tennyson concern resigning. He is not built way. A man who considers a greater than poetry would resign anything. And we do blame him, although he should as vigorously as his old age against tbe withdrawal of his o; wine. However, we should like to sug to Her Majesty a point for her when the place does vacant. That is, that she do appoint either Arnold or Morris, any otiier of these fellows to the but declare our own accomplish poet the Poet Laureate. The who is hired to write verses for the top of tbe city note column in the News can give Tennyson fifty points in a hundred and then leave him windblown in the rear. It is not neeessa-y to elaborate upon the genius, the originality, the versatile ty— the combination of piety and worldly wisdom, with a touch of the old Adam, all goiug together to make up humanity in its most solemn and tenderest moments, as well as its moods oi’jocose hilarity—which com pose the sentimental side of the News poet. When ministers of the gospel get up in the early dawning anJ #it arouod barefooted waiting {or thc , aggard boy to bring some new and unexpected verselet: when sober, practical cotton factors down tbe ccuntrv can not transact a sue cessful day’s business without first soothing their brain with the previ ous days couplet: and when people from the remote but cultured circles of Mishawaka.
