= IoE AND ICED DRINKs.-We are glad to know that
the Ice Mandatory is at length established as q
permanency, and is capable of turning out about
5000 pounds daily Of q fine article of pure ice. We
approve of the enterprise for several reasons. First
on the policy Of encouraging all home enterprises
that are laudable, and second, we believe that the
general and moderate use Of ice is healthy, and that
iced drinks are social reformers. A loss by perspira-
ton, whether by heat or labor, or both combined,
excites the feeling of thirst, and that thirst must be
satisfied. How much better, on all accounts, a glass
of iced Lemonade, soda water, or ginger pop, slowly
imbibed. than imported tipple Of beer, stout, whis-
key, or suicidal absinthe! And what an improve
ment does the housewife find in satisfactorily carry
ing on her culinary duties with q few pounds of ice
in the chest. Thus our experience Of the benefits Of
ice, even in this hot climate. is in favor of the
opinion of the London Liberal ReUiesc, a late num-
Der Of which says that, the introduction ON q large
scale of misunderstanding drinks for the English
hot weather would be q great advantage to a thirsty
public, and we believe would tend to lessen the num-

The Designs Of Russia.

Extract from, louisville Courier-JourRal.
To i'd the present attitude and pros
pects Of Russia seem deserving far more
attention than they are receiving on this
side Of the Atlantic. The effect of her
sudden and highly dramatic entrance
upon the scene where Frank and Teuton
were playing their tragedy was startling
The sensation has almost entirely sub
sided, but we arc not sure that its cause
should SO soon pass into oblivion. We
are not sure that even the day of Sedan

Of wars ID that they often give occasion

Not that we are ready to forgive the
French and Germans iii consideration
Of their having called up the grim and
bearded Muscoyite, On the contrary,
we hold TINT they have thereby ndded
heavily 10 their former responsibilities
What we menn To say is that we are not
sure but they have affected the future
Of the world much more profoundly By
giving opportunity for this mere episode
Of their strife than they have done by
cutting some thousands Of throats. The
world Will have to wait a century no
doubt for the net result, tho balance.

THE CALcAsIE6 SUnPHUR AND MINrNG

We understand that two other com

The truth is that the abolition Of sla-
