walking Signs of Character.

Some observing persons has given
the following rules for judging a man
by his walk:
Observing persons move slow; their
heads move alternately from side to
side, while they occasionally stop and
turn around.
Careful persons lift their feet high
and place them down, pick up some
little obstruction and place it down
quietly by the side of the way.
/ Calculat ing persons generally walk
with their hands in their pockets and
their heads Slightly inclined.
|! Modest persons generally step softly
for fear of being observed.
Timid persons often step off from
the sidewalk on meeting another, and
always 90 around stone instead OI
stepping over it.
| Wide. awake. persons "tOe out, " and
have a long swing of their arms, WhiIe
their hands move about miscellane'
ou~ly. ~
Careless persons are forever stub
bing their toes.
Lazy persons scrape about loosely
with their heels, and are first on one
side of the walk and then on tht
other.
Very strong minded persons place
their toes directly in front Of them
and have kind of stamp movement
| Unstable persons walk fast and SLOW
by turns. ....
Venturnus persons try all roads
frequently climb the fences instead o
going through the gate, and never le
down bar. s.
One-idea PERSONS and alYfy5 very
selfish ones, "tOe in"
Cross persons are very apt to hi
their knees together
GoOd-natured persons snap thel
finger and thumb every few steps.
Fun-loving persons have a kind Q
jig movement.

Alaska.

Gen. Geo. H. Thomas, having made
a thorough examination of Alaska, dur
ing the past summer, takes different
view from that of Mr.. Seward. In his
report lately sent to the War Depart
ment,
He thinks the principal, if not only
present value of the new Territory, is
in the effect its transfer to the United
States will have upon loosing the hold
of England upon British Columbia.
Sending revenue and other civil officers
there a useless expense, as the only ben
eft will be to those who draw salaries
the military posts should be reduced,
expenses ofsupplying them being enOr-
NOUS; and the expense of keeping up
the civil service will very far exceed
the revenue collected. The Territory
was a constant burden to Russia, and
she held it at great expense, simply for
the benefit of a fur company. There isno
probability of an emigration in that dI-
rectiOn as there is not the slightest in
uuCGiIHtlL lOI ali Nv AAlAAlSS "a '''-1-e-
BILE minerals have been discovered
which it would pay to work. There
is plenty oftimber and coal, but plenty
of as good quality, and easier of access,
can be had a thousand miles south Of
the Territory. There has been no
change in the trade on the part Of our
merchants. The few houses engaged
in it before the purchase still continue.
The fur trade Of the interior must con-
tinue to be carried on by natives. As
an agricultural region it has no value
whatever. Grain can not be raised,
and the few vegetables that can be pro-
duced rot, if not used within a few
weeks. Stock raising can not be car
ried on. The super r-abundance of rain
and great lack of sun preclude the idea
of any profitable cultivation Of the soil.
The report is long and exhaustive, but
the abovea are its main points.
