Interesting Explorations.

Two French gentlemen have recently
explored the island of Spitzbergen in a
very complete manner. They have meas
ured the mountains, mapped the coast,
examined the geological formation of the
island, its vegetable products, and its me-
teorological phenomena. They found
that the long day in summer, extending
over several months, became intensely
hot on account of the unceasing heat OF
the sun, and that during this period veg
citation sprung up with luxurianee. The
North Pole is but 600 miles from Spitz-
bergen, and these explorers, with many
other scientific men, think that the pole
itself and the sea supposed to surround
it can be reached without much difficult
ty from Spitzbergen. Large quantities
of floating timber cover the waters Of the
bays and creeks of the island. With re-
gard to the great heat of the sun at Spitz-
bergen during the summer, it may be re-
marked that when the French scientific
expeditions were sent out to ind the
length of a quadrant of the meridian, up
on which the French system of measure
ment is based, the party that went to the
Arctic circle complained of extreme heat,
whilst the party that visited Quito, under
the Equator, complained of extreme cold.

The War Between Brazil and
Paraguay.

The details of the last great battle be-
tween the Brazilians and the Paraguayan
forces show that what the latter lacks in
numbers and strength they make up in
generalship and indOmitable courage
The battle which took place on the 24th
OF May Is represented to have resulted in
great victory for the allied army. But
our accounts are all from Brazilian sour
ces, and must be received with all the
allowance. The victory at best was rui-
nous one. The Brazilians claimed SINH
lar success after previous battle, but
after = month they were not able to adj
vance more than a few miles from the
scene of the contest. If a similar result
should occur, as is probable, in the pres
ent case, the Paragusyans will have
achieved practical advantage, although
they may have suffered tactical defeat.
The facts may be briefly stated. The
allied Brazilians and Argentines have
been hemmed in for some time, in an en-
trenched camp in an unhealthy McClel-
lan-Peninsula location at place called
EsterO. Their men were dying of dis
ease, and it was determined to advance.
But the Paraguayans obtained informa-
ton of the design, and in order to pre-
NCAL LlS c46CullOuy luOl doouACO
initiative. On the 24th of May they
boldly attacked the allies in their forti
fed position, and stormed the works with
a bravery and skill that elected the adj
miration even of the Brazilians. The
Paraguayans were beaten back, with great
slaughter on both sides. The Brazillians
admit loss of two thousand killed, woun-
ded and missing, and claim that their
opponents lost six thousand. This Is
probably Brazilian exaggeration Of the
kind with which we were so familiar du-
ring our civil war. But there appears to
be no doubt that the Paraguayans were
driven back with heavy loss. Whether
the object of the attack was achieved by
delaying the intended advance of the
Brazilian army can only be determined
by events of which we have yet to hear.
1t is an important feature of the contest
that information of the intention Of the
Paraguayans to surprise the allied armies
had been given to the latter by deserter.
But for this treachery the result of the
battle might have been different. There
was no surprise. The allied forces were
in position to receive their assailants, and
the only wonder is that the latter were
able to make so good fight as they did.

THE JILTED MAIDEN.
BY JIMMENN.

IT'S Of Warren. gay city, my, poem relates.
Of the love of a gent by lady faIr,
How her hopes were made wreck by the merciless
How She bowed her head in her dark despair.
She was pretty and vain, and eoquettish too,
Her lovers were many. both gallant and gay.
This beautiful maiden they sought to WOO,
But to all their entreaties she ever said nay.
But Cupid, sly god, avenged their smart,
For he sent an arrow tipped with gold,
Twas 4 centre shot, for it smOte her heart,
She loved soldier in a suit of blue,
His hair was straight. and his whiskers curled,
He cared not for Sue he'd another in view,
For his love, Susie would have given the world
Dear Harry's so bashful-Why don't he propose,
lie need not feel timid lest l should refuse,
/ love him most dearly, as every one knows,
And would fly to his arms ifhe would but choose.
Oh how should be hated and envied,
And there's one girl l know would die,
And that is Miss Fairy McIlendred,
The maid with the squint in her eye.
Cease throbbing, my heart, for Harry is coming;
know he is happy by the glance ofhi eyes.
Fearless I'll meet him, and still my hearts hum
ming.
1t has ceased to know peace save when he is BY
Dear Susy, I IN happy, so much to be envied,
Be glad in my ioy-Ohl why do you sigh
Pm soon to be married to N Miss Fairy NJ II Hendred.
Ny girl you well know she's a squint in her eye.
Poor Sue, how soon her hopes wilted.
Her face. neck and ears were mantled IN red
To think that so sOon she herself oud be Tilted,
1t made her so mad she wished she was dead.
Against all men she raves. and calls them beasts,
In solitude dwell's and acts the recluse.
Abstsins from society-shuns its feasts,
And of young men declares she knOics they are

of million of dollars, was admitted to

J \ new invention for consuming smoke
! and eeonomizing fuel has been applied to the
/ steam engine furnaces at several large works
| in Sheffield, England. The novelty consists
| in supplying the furnace with hot instead of
cold air for combustion, and feeding the
boiler with boiling instead of cold water
| The air is heated by being drawn through
/ fues along each side of the boiler, and it
passes from the hues into the furnace
| through small perforatiOns in the brick work
| forming the sides of the furnace. 1t is thus
distributed evenly over the whole surface of
the fire
As an instance of forethOught displayed
in the Prussian preparations for war, it may
be mentioned that not only had the War
Office in Berlin obtained the exact measure
ments OF the Saxon railway bridges, but had
actually had the timber required for their re-
construction already prepared and fitted
As soon, therefore, as the Saxons had de-
stroyed them, three hundred carpenters were
sent from Berlin with the necessary materi-
ais, and had nothing to do than TO put them
together.
The Portland Press ays: 'sOur estimate ss
Yesterday, that the number of buildings de-
stroyed was l 800, we are satisfied is too low.
We think it will come nearer 800; and 5000
families, embracing 10000 or Il, 900 persons,
were rendered homeless. The amount of the
losses will aggregate to upward of $40, ,OOO, 600.
Some persons set it as high as S15,OOO,OOO
We learn Of insurance to the amount OF up
ward of S5,OOO,OOO."
The Portland Argus says: alt is estimated
that about 2, 900 buildings were burned, and
property destroyed to the amount of So, 2,OOO,-
900, which is probably insured for about one
half. The State valuation for the city was
S28, 600, 600, and the real valuation must be
over 100000 Fully ons-third must
have been destroyed"
The Titusville Herald says: ''The total
losses from the destruction of oil by tire
within the last twelve months, at the oil
region, will scarcely fall short OF one mil
lion dollars, which would build over >
500, 900 barrels of iron tankage, sufficient
for fire proof storage of six months pro-
duction of the Yenango oil region"
Gunther O'Niel, of the Canadian ROyai
Artillery, was recently convicted of COM
plieity in the Fenian conspiracy, and on
being drummed out of the service, shouted,
s.Hurrah for the Irish Republic" He was
then re-arrested, and was hogged in the
presence of the members of his late corps
A petition in favor of the abolition Of
capital punishment, and bearing 2OO,O
signatures, is before the French Senate:
The discussion is, however, deferred until
next year in order to permit of an ex-
animation of the evidence received du-
ring an inquiry made by the English
Parliament.
Horace Greely finished the last page OF
his Record and concluding volume OF
his History of the American Conflict, at
sundown on the eve preceding that OF
the GLORIOUS Fourth" He has still
about three or four weeks labor on 1t,
preparing the index, reading the proofs,
and preparing the appendix.
