AnecdOte Of Dr. Kane.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Springfield (Mass) Argus relates the fol.
lowing incident OF DR., Kane:
"Dr. Kane has omitted a little incident
from his book, which is yet not without in
terest, as to the manner in which he first
got an inkling ofrews from his native coun-
try, after his long absence in the Arctic re.
.gions, He landed on the Danish coast where
there lived an old woman, whom he knew,
and who was very successful in making cof
fee 10 suit the taste of the great explorer
Upon this visit to, her, while she was engag-
ed in this avocation, she pulled piece of
paper from her shoe, for some Incidental pur.
pose. The DR.. picked 1t up, and saw with
eager delight that it was a part Of an Ameri,
can paper; but he could read only few
,fragmentary expressions, among which was
a large heading, "The Arctic" with few
words which indicated the loss of that ill.fa-
ted steamer, but conveyed no idea as to par
ticulars. DIR. Kane had near friends con.
stantly,passing and re-passing across the
ocean, and one may imagine the rack on
which this brief but terrible intimation, oI
which he could only allow his fancy to
sketch the full terrors, placed him on.

Drinking among Young Men.

y This indiscriminnte drinking must eventu.
ally make its mark upon our city population.
We can see it already betraying itself in the
rising generation. 1t is impossible for any
man to drink even pure liquors six or seven
times day, without suffering fearfully in
constitution. And when he transmits this
impaired Constitution to his son, who in turn
impairs it still further by the same course, it
requires little foresight to see that we are
preparing population for our cities, that
will not in physical frame be much better
than those wretched children called Aztecs,
who were exhibited here some time ago.
This love of drink and bar-rooms is every
day Increasing. Every day sees fresh poison
saloons springing up in various parts of the
city. Every day sees our youth becoming
more and more the victim Of this habit, for
really we think it more habit than a pas.
sion. 1t is no love for joviality that tempts
them. It is not the hot exuberance Of youth.
II is not the evanescent impulse Of the gay
young fellow who is sowing his wild OATS
It is cold, deliberate confirmed habit. No
atmosphere of recklessness or jollity sur.
rounds the drinking groups. No peals of
merriment atone for the act, by proving that
at least it is unusual. A grim melancholy
air prevades each.countenance. The drnks
are poured out, the glasses raised and touch.
ed with loathsome air of custom, and each
man swallows his portion with the same
impassive countenance he would wear if he
were drinking glass of plain water. All
the concomitants that partially redeem or ex-
cuse drinking, as far as it can be redeemed
or excused, are wanting in this sad and for
NAL ceremony. The actors drink, not be-
cause they love it, and want to be merry,
but because they have been accustomed to
do it ever since they were boys, and it has
now become habit which is more imperi-
Gus than If 1t were passion.--New York
Times. H
