A CURIOUS THEoRY.- The idea of the "Thermometric Gateway to the Polen has recently been advanced by Captain Silas Bent, of the American Navy, as the result of thirty years study and exploration. Setting aside technical language, the idea seems to be that there is a permanent and nayigable ocean passage which will shorten the distance from New York to San Francisco by sixty days. and from Liverpool to Japan by more than hundred days. According to this theory, the two great currents of ocean, the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic, and its colleague of the Pa. cific, the Kuro-Siwo, both rivers in the ocean, hastening northward with their heated wa. ters from the equatorial belt of fire. push their way through the polar ice to their con fuence at the pole, making thither a naviga- Die water highway. Capt Bent supports his theory by facts, and insists that the Gulf Stream and the Kuro-Swo are the prime and only cause of the open sea about the pole. with its temperature, as repeated expeditions have discovered, so much above that due to the latitude; that the only practicable avenue by which ships can reach that open sea. and thence to the pole, is by following the warm waters of these streams into that sea and that to find and follow these streams, the wa. ter thermometer is the only guide.

How to GROW RrcH.-The only way by which capital can increase is by saving. This is the way the poor become affiuent, and the wealthy wealthier If you spend as much as you get you will never become richer than you are. It is not what man gets, but what he saves, that constitutes bis wealth The man who goes on spending all he gets, and expects that by some lucky hit he shall be raised to wealth, will most likely sink in- to poverty, for in case of adverse fortune he has no resource; whereas by economy he may lay by stock that may serve as provision ir case of diversity.

The Indians and the Whites.

It has been often asserted that the Indian race owe their constant decrease to the pres ence, intercourse, and unprincipled conduct of the white race. We deny it. The whites have leen twice the friends to them that rhey have been and are to each other. Fire watet' and diseases derived from the whites have undoubtedly been the active agents in sweeping away many of them; so have the actions of unprnciped white people. But, notwithstanding, we believe that the care and protection afforded many of the Indian tribes by our Government, has saved them from destruction by protecting them against each other. The dispatch in Sundays Call, giving an account of q recent fight between the Sioux and the Crows, is tolerable fair specimen of what the Indians are toward each other. Had the far-seeing, wise and states manlike views of the great Tecumseh been adopted and acted upon by the red men of | North America, a very different condition of | the Indians, as of the whites, might have existed now. He tried to unite them all as one people, that they might live in harmony with each other, and so present a solid front to the advancing hosts of civilization. Had his advice been followed, although it might not have prevented the eventual disappear
 ance of his race, it certainly would have re
 tarded their aRnihilation, and some States
 now of our Union, would most probably still have been wildernesses for the roaming red man. But nothing could or can make the
 tribes live together in harmony, and so, much of their destruction is the work of their own
 hands. Even the British press, not generally
 given to overpraise anything Amercam has
 been forced to commend the generous policy
 of our Government toward these wild chil-
 dren of the wilderness. They are their own
 worst enetnies, and the white race has been
 more friendly toward them than they have
 been toward themselyes.-S. r. CdH

WHY OPPosED.-The telegraph news from Cuba is to the effect that the Revolutionists are opposed to annexation to the United States. The owners of plantations unques- tionaby are opposed to any policy which will interfere with labor as at present organized. Annexation of the island to the United States would break down old arrangements.

Eddy's Message.

WHAT makes mamma cry" asked lit
tie Eddy, as he came in from play one day
after the battle of Gettysburg.
There has been dreadful battle, my
dear, and l ain anxious about papa" said
his mother.
A little while after that, Eddy brought
some clean white paper for his mother 10
make him kite. 1t being finished, his
mother saw him, with his spelling book
and led-pencil, writing on his kite
After dinner, in rushed Eddy, with
shining eyes and glowing cheeks, sx-
claiming
al sent it, mammal | sent it,'
"What my dear? What have you sent |?
and where?"
"Why, mamma, l wrote on my kite,
Won't God please take good care Of papa,
and send him back TO mamma and Eddy ,
and then l sent up my kite; and when it
got very high, / cut the string and L
guess God has got it by this time"
All, little Eddy God is very near TO
every one of US, and our messages need
not be written on paper, or sent up above
the clouds, in order that he may get them.
He knows our thoughts before We speak
them. Let US try to make them good and
pure.-Ihe Nursery.

The UpaS Tree.

1T is one of the curious facts in the his
tory of delusions, that even scientific men
once had an unquestiOning faith in the
deadly influence of the Upas tree on all
living things within its range. DR.. FGrsch,
an eminent surgeon in the service of the
East India Company, first described the
tree and its destructive powers in Pom
nock's Outlines of the Globe" published
at the close of the last century. AS he
gave the account from his own observation,
it seemed entitled to greater weight He
said, IL saw it myself, the sole individual
of its species, standing alone, in a scene of
solitary horror, in the middle of a naked,
blasted plain, surrounded by a circle OF
mountains, the whole area of which is
covered with the skeletons of birds, beasts
and men. Not vestige of vegetable life
is to be seen within the contaminated at
mOsphere, and even the fishes die in the
water"
Mr.. Darwin, the distinguished botanist
accepted the theory as scientific fact
and, in his Botanic Garden" exercised a
little poetic license, making the miasma
penetrate over ten leagues square, and des
troy alike the eagle in the air OF the lion
on the plain.
A more careful investigation of the facts
has found the tree to be perfectly harm
less, and that the destructive power is due
alone to fumes of sulphatc and carboni6
acid gas coming from volcanic openings
in the region. There is a famous Valley
of Poison" at the foot of the volcano Pa
pandaging, in Java, where scientific trav
elers have found a great number of dead
animals of various kinds, as dogs, cats
tigers, rhinoceroses, squirrels, birds, and
snakes. The soft parts of the animals, a,
the skin, and muscles, and hair, and
feathers, are preserved, while the bones
crumble and disappear. No living thinl
is found in the vicinity save the Upas tree
and II is not surprising that superstition
notions of its malarious power should
have been widespread But the true
cause of death in this case is very obvious
as there are many crevices and opening
in the side of the mountains, from whicl
carbonic acid gas and sulpurous fumes ar
emitted i'm great quantities. II was J.,
such emissions that the elder Pliny AM
his companions were suffocated, at tn
time of the destruction of Herculaneum
though they were miles away from Vesu
vius

A Hero i'm the Hour OF Peril.

At about 0 o'clock OH Saturday night,
the 57th of November, when the British
steamer Twinkling Star was about 80 miles
from St. Nicholas Mole, the engineers
discovered that the iron plates about mid
ships, and in front of the paddle
had been strained by the heavy seas
through which she was passing, and that
large volumes of water were coming into
the hold of the vessel, through cracks on
either side, below the watermark.
Some of the passengers were advised OF
this, and gradually the passengers and
crew were Overtaken by panic, when
there was rush to the life-boat. 1t was
speedily lowered, and into it escaped the
United States Consul of this port, Mr..
Anton Gregg, and several others. But
the lowering of this boat was so badly
managed in the effort Of everyone to save
himself, that the bow of the boat was
elevated out of the water, while the stern
was submerged in the foam which left the
paddle wheels; but they managed at lag!
to cut the rope, and so disentangled them
selves from the steamer
No sooner had this life boat parted from
the ship than panic overlook the firemen
and others who were left on board, and
the scene when the firemen fOrsook the
furnace the Oilmen the engines, the
stewards, the kitchens, and the captain
took leave of his senses, was perfectly
hellish.
The panic-stricken crew, seeing that thu
life boat had left them, believed that tht
ship was ready to part and ready to foun
der, and just at this critical moment Mr.
Thomas Lewis, the second engineer, ant
the only American citizen on board, see
ing every post deserted, and all hands fly
ing in the jaws of death, rushed upon tn,
deck, and, with voice of thunder ant
thrilling earnestness, addressed himself t,
them:
"Hallo there where are you, who cal
yourselves Englishmen? who fly from
your stations when there is little bit O
danger, and call yourselves men, and En-
glshmen? Come back here TO you
places-I am not afraid! I'll stake m,
life, and back all / have, that / will tax
this vessel into port with perfect safety
if you but do your duty" Then, turnin
to the captain, he said:
"YOu, captain, you've lost your heat
and allowed these cOwardly fellows-thes
lazy land-lubbers, who call themselvC
English,-to take your senses from yor
} Go up to your place on the hurrican
deck, and order the wheelman back to hi
place" Turning again to the firemer
who stood with their bags ready {
