An Englishman named Edward
Wbymper, famous as an Alpine climb
er, has set out on On exploring expe-
dition to the interior of Greenland.
In letter from Copenhagen, he says.
'FThe interior OF Greenland is at
present entirely unknown, and no se-
rious attempt has ever been made to
explore it. The two or three excur-
sions which have been made by Danes
toward the interior during the present
century have experienced no greater
difficulties than might be expected from
inadequate time and imperfect means.
DIR. Hayes United States) has, how
ever, on more than one occasion made
excursions toward the interior with
considerable success, and has managed
to travel occasionally rs much as
thirty-five or forty miles in day.
There Is no reason to suppose that the
interior presents extraordinary diff
culties for travelling, and there is good
reason to believe that it is something
better than q dreary waste Of ice and
snow. Not only are traditions to bo
met with on every hand among the
Greenlanders that the interior is a fer
tile country, but it is made almost q
certainty by the fact that the countless
herds of reindeer which occasionally
visit different parts of the coast always
retire toward the INTERIOR where they
are not followed. These herds OF REIN
deer are SO vast in numbers that they
must require for sustenance a consid-
cradle amount Of food; and hence it is
believed by many who are acquainted
with the subject, that the interior, if
not fertile. must be very far from q
barren country" .

Travellers should always be up to-
snuff. Travelling is good deal like
housekeeping your hand must be
nearly always in your pocket. Some
of our friends, hotel-keepers, under
stand the art of doiting a bill with q
supplement in the shape of extras that
easily depletes the porte monnaies Of
unwary visitors.
While standing in the office Of one
of onr first-class hotels the other day,
we noticed a gentleman who came in
With his baggage, enter his name on
the book, and secure room. As soon
as he had written his name upon the
register close by, the clerk looked at it
with establishment. He called all the
other clerks to- look and then he called
one Of the rroprietcrs, who, seeing it.
appeared amazed.
We thought, from the fuss that was
being made over the ramey that the
man must be some celebrated person.
The idea struck us that it might be
Prince Albert or some of England's
noblemen whom we did not know.
While thus contemplating the man
and his position, the head clerk leaned
forward and called:
"Mr. Johnson, one moment, If you
please"
The gentleman stepped up to the
desk.
"Wif you," continued the clerk,
please explain one thing 2
what is it p asked the gentleman,
with a quiet smile playing on his face.
"Why, SIR at the end of your name
on the book, you have placed three
letters p. L. b., and we are anxious
to know the meaning of them, having
never before met them in that posi-
ton"
Up, l. b." said the gentleman,
"means simply Patent-leather Boots.
The last time l was here, wore none
Other, but was charged in my bill, at
leaving, ten shillings for backing boots,
and as had no time to- dispute, / con-
cluded this time to make you under
stand that l wore such boots as need
no backing"
