THE NORTH PoLE.--Two French gen.
tlemen recently explored the island Of
Spitzbergen in q manner never before
done. They have measured the noun
tains, mapped the whole coast, examin-
ed the vegetable products, the geological
composition, &c., of the island. They
have found that the long day extended
over several months during which the
sun never sets, becoming intensely hot
after month or two by the unceasing
heat from the sun. In this period veg
citation springs up in crest luxuriance
and abundance. The North Pole is only
a matter of 700 miles from the island,
and it is thought by the two explorers,
a. by many others, that the pole itself,
and the sea which Is supposed TO sur
round It, could be reached from Spitz-
bergen without many great dimculties
being encountered. A singular fact no
ticed by the explorers, In connection
with this island, Is the enormous quan
titles Of floating timber which literali.

condition, and kind of these floating

How q Murder was Detected--C Cir.
cNmstantial Evidence.

The Lafayette Journal says that In
the Circuit Court in session In that city
on Thursday, De La Foret was convict
ed of murder and sentenced to the Peni-
tentiary for life. He was convicted on
circumstantial evidence altogether. The
Journal says:
"Thus ends another Of those cases in
which a man is convicted OF murder
wholly by circumstantial evidence. A
dead body was found under circumstan-
ces which left no doubt that human
being had been foully murdered. With
the exception of the letters &C. s." on
the inside Of the dead mans ovcrcoat,
nothing Is found that would give even
the remotest clue to his identity, or from
whence he came. The body is exposed
for two or three days in a public place,
viewed by hundreds, yet no one recog-
nizes him. A photograph is taken,
and the soldier Is buried as stranger.
But the ways ofprovidencc are inscrnta-
BILE. Near where the body was found n
small piece Of paper was picked up, upon
which are few printed words-thc
name Of gentleman IN distant city,
and his place of business. by means of
this little slip insignificant in itself,
the murdered man Is identified, his
friends discovered, and a chain of cir
cumstances developed that point out at
least one Of the murderers. He Is mr.
rested for another crime, the murder Is
charged upon him, and after faithful
and patient trial he is convicted and
sentenced to expiate his crime by the
best part of ia lifetime in the States pris-
on. 1t is an old and homely saying, but
u true one, that "murder will out"

Can JEFF. Davis be Convicted in
4 Virginia,

J. b. Baldwin, an ex-Confederate and
prominent politician in Virginia, an
swers the question thus:
II do not see why he could not be
convicted of treason in Virginia just as
we'll as any other man could be convict
ed Of any other offense, If the law Is dis
tinctly laid down to the jury, and you
happen to get an honest jury. do not
see why not. In Virginia 900 out of
every 1000 people, at least, were in the
same boat with JEFF. Davis. 1 do not
exaggerate when I say 900 out of every
! 900. And of course you would find it
difficult to get any confederate of his,
those who were with him, and fighting
for him, and hurrahing for him all the
time, to desire to convict him. They
would not do it if they could help it;
but that you can find enough honest
men in Virginia or any other Southern
State to respond to a question of fact, I.
am as well satisfied as am of anything.
Take my own case: / never believed in
the right of secession. I do not believe
in 1t now. l always looked upon the
WnOle tnlnS as an aDsurulty ana q num-
bug. | always believed, and believe
now, that as a question of law, right and
power, the Government had right to
hang JEFF. Davis, and me, too. The
question of power and the question of
policy are different questions. i'll were
to sit as juror on JEFF. Davis case, or
my own, or Keen's, would not need
any instructions from . judge to say that
he ought to be hanged-not bit. These
are my views of the law and of the facts.
There are great many people in Vir-
ginia of the same way Of thinking"

Profits of Iowa Farming.

Last spring Mr.. Brickley son of our
whilom fellow citizen of that name, sold
forty acres of land, one mile from Prai-
rie Mills, for the sum Of $500. The
whole tract was broken ready for culti-
vation and o fence was on two sides.
The purchaser completed the fencing,
rented two acres for onions, devoted an
other small "patch'' to other vegetables,
and sowed about thirtyfive acres with
wheat. From this he thrcshcd and sold
$40 bushels, aud received therefor ii 600.

vesting, threshing, and all expenses,
and also the purchase money Of the land,

ahzing that II was their last moment,
they took the leap and both succeeded
in grasping the stick. Turning quickly

A case of death from fright IL given In
the Milwaukee Wisconsin, which occur
red at Evansville, in that State. A child
five years OF age, when playing on the
steps was threatened to be shut up In q
dark room If he did not go in and stay
in the house. The child, frightened,
ran in and fell in paroxysms on the floor.
He begged his mother not to let the man
shut him up, and he would never go on
the steps again. He sickencd from this
fright and never recovered. When con-
scious he begged his mother to keep the
man away and he would never go on
the steps again. And when the little
fellow was dying he said: Papa, don't
let me die, never will go on the steps
again."

CLEvERLY TOLD.-There was sensa-
ton story afloat short time ago about a
man in Mobile who, in committing sui
eide, cut off his head and hid it so effec-
tually that no one has ever been able to
find it. The circumstance. excited the
envy of some chap out West, who thus
tells ofa horrible affair that recently oc-
Cured out in his section:
IAN Indian there who had lived un-
happily with fifty or sixty squaws, deter
mined upon suicide. Desiring that no
one should be able to identify any por-
ton of him, he cut off both legs and car
ried them about five miles into the woods
on foot and alone. He buried them, and
carried some five miles further and bur-
led. Then cutting out his tongue that
he might be unable to tell any one he
might meet who he was, he proceeded
several miles further, chanting his death
song as he went. He finally cut off his
own head, and after amusing himself for
some time kicking it about as football,
making the woods ring with shouts Of
merriment, he hid it In the trunk of q
tree; and then, digging grave with his
own hands, he got in, covered himself
up, and planted a very handsome tomb
stone at the head of his grave. Where

saving the life of some one who reads it:
"Three persons out of four would rush
right up to the burning individual, and
begin to paw with their hands without
any definite atm. It is useless TO- tell
the victim to do this or that or to call
for water. In fact, it is generally best
to say not word, but seize blanket
from the bed, or cloak, or any WOODEN
fabric-if none is at hand take any wool
en- 1naterial-hold the corners as far
apart as you can, stretch them out high
er than your head, and running boldly
up to the person make motion of clasp
ing in the arms, most about the shoul-
ders. This Instantly smothers the fire
and saves the face. The next instant
throw the unfortunate person on the
floor. This is additional safety to the
face and breath-any remnant OF flame
can be put out more ,ieisurely. The next
instant immerse the burnt part with an
