The Last Hope Cone

Commander McClurc can send us no
news of Sir John FrankIin's expedition.
The opinion OF the most distinguished
Polar worthless now is that Sir John
Franklin. after leaving the winter quar-
tiers where his traces were found. proceeo-
cd 10 carry out the Admiralty instruc-
tions, steering frat westerly for Melville
Island, and then shaping a course-as far
as the confguration Of tie scene of &C
tion permited-southerly and westerly
70: Behring's Straits Its supposed that.
in endeav oring to carry his purpose into
effect. the Erebus and Terror were hope
lessly frozen up or destroyed years ago in
some of the multiiudinous channels
which are known or supposed to exist
there.
this we find TO be the opinion of the
principal Arctic navigators. and i, comes
before us recommended by itsex,reme prob
ability. Certainly, Sir John franklin
was not an officer to leave uninterrupted
any duty which he had been ordered 10
perform, and therefore it is proba BILE that
ne would not have desiated from The let
ter of his instructions without excellent
cause; had he SO deviated, il is all but
certain that he would have left behind
him at Beechy Island. or else where, some
record OF his changed intention.
If. then. Comma nder Mcclure has been
unable to find any trace Of the lost expe-
dition between Behring's Straits and :he
point from which he wrote his dispatches,
it would appear that our best chance has
been exhausted. The public have right
to expect that we have now seen the last
of Arctic expeditions. Even Sir John
Borrow. had he yet been alive. would now
have entreaIed the Admiralty to hold
their hands.

4 Long Farewell.

Misses NJ. w. and C.. Z. Webster. the
only survivors of the late Professor John
w. Webster now in this country bade a
long farewell to our shores Yesterday
having sailed for the Azores in the bsrL
10. They had just paid the last melan-
choly rites over the remains of an idol
lied mother, and mos. estimable wo.
man; and having moistened the dust of
Mount Auburn with their bitter and SYM
pathetic tears; and now too leave forey
er the sweet scenes of their chidhood.-
Ofhome. friends & those many delightful
sociateonsround which the heart always
clings SO naturally s. so fondly. They have
uttered that last melancholy word--fare-
we'll. The train of misfortunes which
has rendered dark and gloomy the paths
of these young and beautiful ladies-for
such they are--is peculiar and mournful.
We will not name that circumstance, SO
dreadful, but ending in death. which de-
prived them of a father From that
event we desire TO draw no veil And
now before the robes of mourning had
been exchanged; before the deep fountains
of grief had been dried up, death, insa
tnte. and almost cruel. has prostrated
the form of mother. The grave has
closed over her. and she sleeps in eternal
repose by the side of him who went be-
fore her. The mourners in their youth
and beauty have now gone. The ocean
is now 10 sepera te them from the sscIed
spot Of home. They have bid farewell to
whatever was dear, never more 10 return.
Such is a phase Of life--more of shadow
than of sunshine.-Boston Bee, llth.

was again offered the situation of private

for him to accept the place. The desire
TO be more widely useful, however. had
caused him TO undertake the establish

Bright and GIoolly Houry.

All! this bright and beautiful world
Indeed | know not what 20 think of it,
Sometimes it is all gladness and sunshine
and heaven itself is not far off. and then
it changes suddenly and is dark and sor-
wful. and the clouds shut out the sky.
La the lives of the saddest of us, there
are bright days like this when we feel as
if we could take the great world in our
arms. Then come The gloomy hours
when the fire will neither burn on our
hearts nor hearths; and al without and
within is dismal. cold and dark. Believe
me, every heart has its secret SORROWS,
which the world knows not. aud often
times we call a man cold when he is only
sad.- LongfsiloW,

Plan for Building the Pacific Ra;Iro7d.

Ihere are two subjects which will
doubtless occupy a prominent position

the disposal of the surplus funds now in

discovery of gold in California. which has
drawn adventures thither from almost
every town, village. and hamlet in
our land, has made it matter of person

joined with the knowledge tina: the com
merce OF Orient is productive mine, tha. .

and often politically mistress of the
world; that the Railroad. when built, will
form the shortest. and for many of these

gigantic land speculation. it has also
been proposed 10 build the road by indi.

permanent and also the phlegmatIc aud
nervous are not as strikingly exhibited
OH this continent as in Europe. The
sanguine temperament and ruddy com
plexion. though existing in our North
eastern States, are not as fully developed
as in Great Britain and the neighboring
continental countries. The English, and
Scotch. and Irish, after few years rasi-
dence in our Northeastern States, lose
their rubicund complexion, plumpness
of face. and full sanguine habit, become
thinner in person. and acquire a paler

and the color swarthy and sallow. An
other hysical pecularity is the defective
organization and tendency to decay of the
teeth. The effect of climate is traeea bic
also among the resident population of
foreign birth. An able American dentist
observes that 1.-THE teeth Of Europeans
who have resided in this country for a
few years. are as subject to decay as our

These remarks relate more particularly
to the population the Eastern and Mid

the mes; part to the inha bitants west Of
the Alleghenies. We are told by Pro-
fessor Drake that over most Of the interior

often replaced by slight turbid hue, or

SPECULATION IL WooL.-Ihe New York Her

lamb about his house, who, being well fed and
cared for. grew to a large size, and exhibited .
splendid fleece of wool. A rumor became our
rent that it was an imported ram of exsaordina-
ry breed. Finally sheep fancier offered him
$25 for it, payable with his note and mort
gage on the ram. The fame of the animal very
rapidly spread. and soon the purchaser was Of
fered 1900 for his bargain, payable with his
bond and mortgage on the ram. The next deal
er which saw him, purchased him on bond and
mortgage for $500, and he again sold him in tho
same manner for $1,000, and this purchaser
again transmitted him to the next bidder for
So ,00o, until the last party took him at $4,000.
each party boasting that he had cleared 100 per
cent. on the lucky ram. A sudden change in tbs
money market shortly came round. Nobody
seemed to have any money. The last purchaser
failed, and the purchaser before him failed, nm
til the ram came back to the farmer who had
raised him, when law suit arose as to whether
he was blooded ram at all. Finally, in wind
ing up the matter, the lawyer took the ram for
