inc ice. but by waiting till it thawed or broke up,
or forcing a path through it, the explorer would at
last certainly gain his goal-so Captain Bent
thinks. Arctic researches have hitherto run too
much in a rut. Every expedition has tried Inc
eastern passage, and has failed. 1t is true that Dr.
Hayes and a single companion did get SO 1ar as 70
see the shores of the unfrozen ocean, after travel
ing hundreds of miles on sledges but there Is
plenty of room for doubt whether q ship orsteamer
or any other national craft can make Its way 70
the same point by an eastern route. Therefore we
say, by way of change from the dull routine OF
Arctic adventure, let the Kuro-Siwo be tried Tor
once. 1t may turn out that Bhering Straits Is the
true portal through which mankind can pierce tue
heart of the polar mystery.
LONDON. April 22.-The Fenians have threatened
vengeance against the Pail Nal Gazette, on account
of the vigorous course taken by that Journai III

life and property in Ireland. The propletors OF
the Gazette have asked the authorities for protec-

the EmperOr's address to Frenchmen, declaring
that the Constitution of 1852, which was drawn up
by virtue of the powers given him, and ratified by
eight millions of voters, has procured for France
18 years of calm and prosperity which have not
been without glory. 1t secured order and left the
way open to more improvements. The Emperor
says: !, myself, believe to-day. that anything done
without your consent is illegal. The Constitution

What Ice has done for Civilization.

A few years ago ice was an incidental luxury
and not q necessity of life. 1t was an indulgence,
and not q fixed habit. Butter was coolies thereby,
and a phenomenal ice cream was possible. 1t
was a relief to the sick room. Then came Aque-
duct water in cities instead of the now deserted
wells, and the ice business became important.
The changes made in accordance with the new
era are mentioned by the Newark Advertiser.
The refrigerator was invented. The deep, dark,
dingy, and damp old cellar went the way of the
old well, and the well-lighted basement came IN.
The refrigerator and the basement 90 together.
Then came the great preservatories in slaughter
houses, markets, hotels, &C., both for meats and
vegetables. Then came the Arctic cars for tine
transportation Of perishable articles of food. See
also how the soda water and ice cream business
expanded, and what life was given to the plumbers
trade. Finally, the undertakers, says the Adrer-
tiSer, " have modified the whole method of their
calling, and made large investments in the ma
chinery needed for the refrigeratory processes.
Here is something like the >hO that Jack built,
cause acumulating on cause, until from the small
seed of a petty luxury has grown a national
industry"
Suppose the ice crop is really short this year.
~cobblers, while thousands of person would lose
employment, and the community at large would
be subjected to an enormous expense. These lux
uries, grown and developed into necessities, can
not be idly abandoned. The mild Winter teaches
that the ice area should be enlarged. What the
Hudson does not yield, the Kennebec must, and
the factories for manufacturing ice must be intro
duced here as they are at the South. For ice We
must have. The want not felt a few years ago
is now the centre of many and absorbing CONNER
cial interests.

At the Paris opera the other night, the
inf1ammable scenery took fire. The manager
alarmed the fremen, who promptly turned
their hose on the fire. AT the same time
the manager said "A fine for the first
person who stirs from his post. Five francs
for each person who remains still" Nobody
stirred. The ballet dancers s~toically allowed
themselves to be deluged by the water which
poured from the scenery. If one of these
poor creatures had taken fight, or a single
spectator in the house had guessed what was
going on behind the scenes, the results would
have been most disastrous and the victims
numerous. The GOODNESS and presence Of
mind of the manager prevented u terrible
catastrophe. The ballet dancers OH their part
deserved the grateful thanks of their country
and earned their five francs bravely. Ii was
remarked in the house with some surprise
that it rained heavily on the stage but who
could for a moment have suspected that a
fire was raging, while the chorus and super
numeraries were so calm and immovable
The act was almost finished, and by the
time it came to a conclusion the fire was
extinguished.-Paris Correspondent.
The LOVE OF THE BEAUTTFUL.-Pface a
young lady under the care of a kind -hearted,
graceful woman, and she, unconsciously to
herself, grows to a graceful lady. Place q
boy in the establishment of a ~thorough-going,
straightforward business man, and the boy
becomes a self-reliant, practical business
man. Children are susceptible creatures,
and circumstances, scenes, and action, always
impress them. As you influence them, not
by arbitrary rules, not by stern example
alone, but in the thousand other ways that
speak through bright scenes, soft utterance
and pretty pictures, SO will they grow.
Teach your children to love the beautiful.
Give them a corner in the garden for flowers,
encourage them to put in shape the hanging
baskets, allow them to have their favorite
trees, lead them to wander in the prettiest
wood lots, show them where they can best
view the sunset, rouse them in the morning,
not with the stern "time to work" but with
the enthusiastic I" see the beautiful sun rise;"'
buy for them pretty pictures and encourage
them to decorate their rooms, each in his or
her childish way. The instinct IS IN them.
Give them an inch and they will go a mile.
Allow them the privilege and they Bill
make your homes beautiful.

This is very prompt work, and ought to be re-
marked at q time when some reproaches are made
against English energy for not having promoted
a scheme like the Suez Canal. We are expend-
ing on oceanic telegraphs in a year about as
much as the canal cost all the independent share
holders in ten. The two enterprises besides are
not to be named together in importance-the
judgment of the English capitalist as well as his
energy being shown by his taking to the one and
not to the other. The telegraphs in the present
state of the world change materially the condi-
tons of trade at comparatively little expense,
and are, therefore, in great demand and if the
business is risky there are at least large profits
in fittings which can hardly be said of the
canal. 1t is not their neglect of a scheme not
really demanded by business, or only in moderate
demand, which will show that the enterprise of
English capitalists has been beaten or approached
in the promotion of important and novel under
takin0s.

Great Britain affords to projects of ocean tele-

writer says: -
