Death by Chloroform.

The post mortem examination of the
body of Miss Ida Morgan, who died at
the office of DIR. Emory, dentist. Brom-
field street, on Saturday last, after the
inhalation of chlorotorm. discloses the
fact that she was before taking The chlcr-
oform. in a good state of bodily health,
and that er death must be traced d.
lectly to the application of the chloro-
form, which, according to DR.. Jackson,
had changed her blood 10 a substance as
thin as ate 1t appears that she had
taken chloroform before, and all that
time had experienced trouble from it
On the present occasion the chloroform
was pure, and was administered with a
sponge in the usual quantity. The first
application did not produce insensibiity,
and at the patients request the sponge
was again placed to her nose. After
the third application she attempted to
get u, but failed, and her head rolled
to n side of the chair. She was then
placed upon a longe. breathing heavily,
but soon her breathing became easy
She never spoke after being removed
from the chair. The result of the in-
vesIigation, from the testimony of DR..
jackson and other medical experts, will
probably be that chloroform is an I'M
safe article to be administered for the
purpose of producing insensibility to
pain.-BoSton Trareler.

The ~Circumpolar Sea.

The discovery of the open Circumpo-
lar Sea appears 10 have been made by a
Russian officer thirty years ago. This
was Lieutenant Wrangle, who some
where about the year 1924. advanced by
sleds across the ice from the northern
coast of Siberia, due north to the open
sea. Lieutenant now Admiral) Wran-
gle took frequent soundings during the
trip, and found the water shallow, with
a mud bottom. The climate became
more moderate rs he made northing.-
According t his estimate of his position
at the margin of the open polar ocean,
he must have been neal the parallel of
80 degrees north, on which DR.. Kane
was when he saw the same sea, almost
on the opposite side Of the Pole. Lieu
tenant Wrangie concealed provisions in
the ice as he advanced, which he sut out
for supplies on its return. The party
slept in lodges warmed by a spirit lamp,
which also cooked their meals. Their
sufferings were not as great as those of
the land parties that have gone oul from
the British exploring ships.

of 1853 4, met together in caucus, and
agreed to desert THEN brethren Of the

the solemn compact of 1890, this was all

outrageous sec ionalism, and the Wash

TIE Uni n is on the very brink of dis

A R1cH LuMP.-We were yesterday
shown a solid hemisphere of pure gold
taken from the Columbia Mine. Ga, the
result of three DAYS work. The value
of the lump is 1890. These mines are
now owned by a lew enterpri,ing gen
llemen who are working them with great
success. A company, partly composed
OF the proprietors of the Columbia mine,
are about to open the Parks mine, in the
same neighborhood. which promises TO
yieldan average of 50. 0O1 Of the precious
metal to the ton Of ore. The proprietcrs
of these mines count an aggregate pro.
duct of about $3.50 per month. This,
considering the modest cost of working,
is a golden harvest-almost equal to the
richest returns from the p%iacers of Ell Do
