RELIGION NEAR THE NORTH POLE
In Nova Zemb]a (as the Dutch who
travel there re.ate) the inha abitants have
no regular prescribed religion, but they
worship the sun as long as he is with
them, and during his absence the moon
and the pole star. To these they offer
yearly sacrifices of deer, Which they
burn, except the head and feet; they
sacrifice also for their dead The Sem
Grades. who live little to the south of
Nova Zembla, are great idolaters and
believers in witchcraft Each family
has its own temple, priest and sacrifice,
the priest is the oldest man in the fam
lily, and his ornaments are small ribs and
teeth of fish and wild beasts, which hang
about him. On his head he wears a
white garland. During his officiating
he howls, gradually increasing in loud
ness and ferceness of manner, till at last
he appears like a mailman. He then
falls down and initiates death for some
time then, suddenly starting up, he or
ders FIVE deer to be sacrificed, and after
a few more equally disgusting and sense
less actions the ceremony is ended.

Bulletin Board Politicians.

Bulletin Board POLITICIANS.
AT the double-headed meeting which
our Democratic friends held in this place
a short time since, we happened to hear
David Belden paying his respects to the
speaker ON the corner, who had announ-
ced himself as the standard bearer of
the Democracy. Belden said he would
cal! him more truly its bulletin board, on
which every party in succession had
posted its notices, and you could now
pull them off one after another as you
would peel an onion. Not knowing or
caring but what Belden might be OBJ
noxious to the point of his own wit, we
thought the idea happy one, and the
tile of Bulletin board politicians" es-
pecially applicable in California, which
has been cursed by the presence of so
many of that sort, together with their
near kin, the carpet-bag politicians
The mere fact of changing ones opin-
ions. where the change is sincere, should
be no reproach to man, but rather the
reverse, for it is sign of mental integ-
rity.
We never had much sympathy with
the popular definition of consistency, and
are pretty apt when we hear of a man
who has never changed-who has al
ways been Democrat, OF a Wing, or a
Republican, to suspect his honesty.
No one can be true to principle and
party at the same time, for principles are
not huctuating nor arbitrary, whilst par
ties are invariably so. But there is
class of human chameleons who adapt
their colors to every change in the at
mosphcre of public opinion, real or fan
cied. They autter, and buzz and gilt
ter in the pleasant air of peace and
imagine themselves perennial; but when
the storm comes-when the conflict of
true principles with old errors and abu-
ses rings loudest, they are swept into
oblivion and nobody regrets them. Such
men can be Off real service 70 society,
whilst they may be a serious injury
1t admits ofno question, that the widest
fanaticism proves ultimately less ipju-
rious to the character of people, than
the insidious corruption of demagogue
ism.
From the Crusaders sprang chivalry
with its amenities, softening the rude
ness of the times and leading to our mod
ern politeness, which is only the golden
rule conventionalizcd; and from Puri-
tanism grew our modern freedom, with
all those elevating hopes and unselfsl
labors for universal man which distin-
guish this age above all others.
a man who has heart and brain
enoughto te frantic, is apt to he also,
apart from his craze at least a good citi-
zen-a lover and doer Of the right for its
own sake, a tender sympathizer and an
active philanthropist. Your bulletin
board politician. wherever you find him
and that is everywhere-is a con-
temptable character compared to such a
fanatic. Yet to him is chiefly surren-
dcred the control of our affairs and the
directing national destiny. Ifthe Amer
lean people do not ballot such fellows
down they will need another revolution
one Of these days to come.
These reflections may serve to illus
trate the truth that one may draw wise
conclusions from the most insignificant
circumstances-aye, even from political
meetings and stump speeches.
