The ARCTIC REGIONS of
a lecture that was to be delivered on
Alaska and the Northern regions, we
despatched our reporter, in order to
give the public the benefit of the
lecturers wisdom. We regret that
we have only room for brief report:
The lecturer. commenced by re-
marking that although the regions
near the pole were hard for travellers,
yet it is an ice location.
The North Pole has never been
seen. It is not certain whether the
bears climb it.
Those who go there are protected
from the cold, although they go in
bear skins.
No negroes there-all white bear
skins.
DIR. Hayes, the Yankee, went there
in search of notion.
Yon can see q haze when the
Northern lights are visible.
There Is no corn raised in the
Northern regions, yet when the
Esquimaux have breakfast, it is an
Indian meal.
The principal amusement is old
sledge-though they sometimes have
new one.
The annexation of Alaska to the
United States will not probably in
crease the pole tax.
When the prodigal son went into O.
fur country, he probably stopped in
Alaska.
The people there don't care for the
turn of spring. When the river
begins to run. they say it's snow mat
ter.
The territory is we'll defended
against cavalry. There is a shiver de
freeze all around it.
1t is coed place for orators Ere.
the wnaies spout.
Horses ere not very numerous,
though there are some fine bays on
the coast. -
Education is very general. The
whales 60 i'll schools. -
The hunters do not always stop to
read their letters when they open
their seals.
At this point, (the point referred
to is the punctuation point mt the end
OF the preceding paragraph, our re-
porter took his leave; to speak more
exactly, he TOOK several of his leaves.
containing his notes of the leotnre.

People were recently in the habit
Of being amused with the precau-
tions of our ancestors, who, before
going on long journeys. generally
:aaae uheir wills. That idea has now
lost its amusing oddity, since to in
sure ones life for railway journey
has become common business ne
cessity or observance. Other means
of protection are also suggested from
time to time. A man in Philadelphia
has invented a railway car in the
shape of an iron cylinder, strongly,
ribbed and girded to prevent crush
ing, and thiokly. padded within TO
save those inside, who, In case of an
upsetting down an e,nbankment,
would be merely rolled over one an
other, Without lie loss OF life, 1t is
good ids and if the car should be
called the "Iron Safe" it would have
the recommendation of O very good
name, to begin with.

Professor Gamgee, the famous Eng
ligh veterinary surgeon, has made
his appearance rs the advocate of a
new mothod of preparing meat for
the table. It might be supposed in
the present "hippophagian" mania
that Gamgee would come out boldly
in favor of horse flesh; however,
instead of pursuing this course, he
adheres to the old-fashioned articles
of food, but preserved for an extra.
ordinary length of time. The i'm
mense supplies of meat on the
pampas of Soath America and the
plains of Texas attracted Gamgee's
attention, while there was great
scarcity in London. The distance
between the places of demand and
supply, of course, presented an in
superable obstacle to the making use
of the focks and herds of agricultural
regions. Here the aid of carbonic
oxide gas is called in, and freshly
killed meat can now be preserved for
a wonderful length of time. Nut
ton. from sheep slaughtered on No
vember 10, 1857, was subjected to
this new process, and formed the
principal Wand at a dinner given a
few days ago at the Everett House,
where upwards of fifty gentlemen
certified to the success of the new
antiseptic. The waste of good
healthy food, when cattle are killed
merely for the hide, horns and tai
low, is very great, and there is great
hope that this wasteful practice may
now be abandoned.

The above named gentlemen are respect
fully nominated for the position without

our people will not follow in the footsteps
OF Congressional examples, by engrafting
strictly party issues in common place
elections. The late election has proven
that 1t Is not the way to restore the politi-

CLEAR AS MUp.-Professor Henry
Wurtz developes, in the american
Journal Of Mining, "a theory of gold
genesis" thusly:
3The tide of time rolled on, and
successive Eons were born of the
Omnipotence and merged into the
Eternity of the Ineffable Being. AS
the dynamic energies in the terres-
trial substratum gradually died out,
the pulsations or heavings of the
continental breaste became doubtless
slower and slower, until now the span
of human history scarce furnishes o
unit for their measure. The earth
was becoming fitted for our race; the
sun shone full upon il, and differ
ences Of climate and Variations of
seasons began to prevail. Water
channels and river systems began to
form. The completed work of the
ocean of waters was delivered up to
the embrace of the ocean of air,
whose functions are destruction and
erosion. Since then the three great
chemical solvents and disintegrators
which ride upon the wings of the
wind. water, frost and oxygen, have
held uninterrupted sway, over all
those portions of our planet which
had been SO wonderfully and elabo-
rately built up and furnished for the
dwelling place of man. i"
