GEoGRApHIcAL SocIETy.---The Paris correspond
ent of the New York Journal Of Commerce says:
"The Bulletin of the Geographical Society, for

1897, to the same month, lS4S. Their collections,
and the degree in which they have advanced geo.
graphical knowledge, rather overrated. Ma
tiona partiaity operates these occasions. There
is interesting and able biographical sketch OF
the French traveller and sayapt, Hommaire de
Hell, whose three volumes with the ttle-Steppes Of
the Caspian Sea- the Caucasus, and Southern R,lssia,
earned for him a high reputation. They won, in
1914, the gold medal Of the Society. la 1885, the
author was commissioned by the French govern
ment topursue scientific geographical and historical
researches the shores the Black and the Caspian
and in the interior of the adjacent countries
He accomplished his errand with the utmost zeal
and ability; he undertook thorough survey of
Persia. He died at Ispahan in August, ls4S, at
the age of thirty six, martyr 10 his ndefatiga
BILE tolls. He made important geological dis
coveries. He has left great mass OF manuscripts
prepared with the utmost care, on Turkey and
Persia. The society designates them precious
mine for geology, geography, archaeology, and
even ior the statesman. II Is expected that they
will be soon published under the auspices Of the
French government, with illustrations by supe-
rior artist, Jules Laurens, who constantly his
companion, and who has brought back thousand
drawings. The Secretary of the Society noticed
letter from nj. Poinsett of South Carolina, who
promises information of the progress of geography
in the United States. NJ Jomard made connuni
cations on the Washington National Monument;
on the American expedition in search of Sir John
Franklin; and on Mr. Maury's recent publications
in regard TO the use of his invaluable charts which
Europe more and more appreciates. Mr.. Alfred
Maury, librarian of the National Institute, has
put forth, in one volume, curious history of the
great forests OF Gaul and ancient France, with re-
searches on the history Of the forests of England,
Germany, and Italy. He treats, likewise, Of those
of the United States and Mexico"

IL companies.

Thus we see that out of twelve companies formed
holding forty five thousand eharos, only four are
in active operations; and of these only one seems
be doing an extensive business. Copper seems To
be there, in inexhaustibe quantities, but the ex-
pense of working it is great that the business s
but little better than any common mercantile ope-
ration. When this is the spectators soon
leave for other fields. The mines, however, will be
worked, and by those who understand the business
and will make it profitable. Sometimes the copper
occurs In immense masses, one of which, at the
Pittsburg mine, was supposed to have weighed fifty
tons! The copper which the Lake Superior region
has already produced is so much as almost to ex-
clude the importation Of copper -Phila. american.

American journals can now well afford TO copy
the gloomy representations Of the English press
concerning the dangers TO our Union arising out
of the sectional controversy That controversy has
already passed away, and the contending parties,
il ia hoped, will ccase TO wranglc. The South has
maintained its principle that the common Govern
ment must not interfere TO assail, in any manner,
the tenure Of slave property. The North has cor
dally yielded the point, and all it's sensible men
must regret that an unnecessary persstahce was
so near alternating the southern people. A session
has been spent in reaching an accommodation, but
not spent in vain. Other interests could well be
postponed to the paramount one Of the national
existence. Let Congress adjourn as soon IS IL
plcascs, and we shall be prepared to applaud the
majority for having performed the work worthy of
the labor- Of genius and patriotism. True the dis
appointed Free soilers yet writhing under the
defeat they have sustained and threatening to ag-
tate anew for the destruction of the Constitution
and the Union; but If the two great parties Of the
country will scrupulously sbstan from contrac tin
any alliances with them, their efforts will prove as
futile their motives are base"

ing the unusual breaches Of the tide upon her pre-
mises, resolved TO adopt the remedy common with
housewives on occasions Of floods. Mounted on her
pattens, with her mop in her hands, she vigorously
assaulted the Atlantic ocean, it rolled up its inn
pudcnt waves ON the beach, and kept up a very
courageous pushing back and wringing out. AS
the Atlantic shook It's main and rushed more terri

though Mrs. Partington had conquered sundry
duck -puddlcs and deluges of rain, and had even

swelling sea was too much for her. Dsgusted she
fled from sidmouth TO America, and has ever since
