MOST, if not all, of the newspaper biogra-
pliers of James Gordon Bennett, forget to
state that on his way westward after landing
at Halifax in 1919, he stopped in Washington
County. He taught school for several
months in the town of Steuben. We have
heard several of the older inhabitants of that
and the adjoining towns speak of Mr.. Ben
nett's sojourn among them as something still
fresh in their remembrance. 1t appears that
there was nothing remarkable in his success
as teacher but there were those who
thought they observed in the young Scotch
man even then the elements of a great

The GREELEY RATIFICATIoN.-The Evening
Post thus diseourses on the ratification meeting
on Tuesday evening:
Our sober eyes did not see all this glory, nor
our deafened ears hear all this eloqueuce; but
what we did hear and see was in no wise SUI
perior to what is heard and seen on similar Oc-
caslons IN this city. At the outset the gather
ing was very large, but it dwindle6 rapidly
from hour to hour A great MANY. who had
been cheated by the announcement that Carl
Schurz, Gratz Brown and William Dorsheimer
were to speak, retired in disgust as soon as tbev
learned of their disappointment Carl Schurz
was not only not present, but did not even send
very wisely concluded not to make his choice
between the two evils of Grant and Greeley un
til he sees that there is no possible escape from
the alternative. The only man of any great
prominence who did send letter was Senator
Irumbull, who had nothing more to say in be-
half of this mongrel movement than that he
hoped it would be the means of breaking up the
old parties, which few old Democratstwho have
been waiting for years for the restoration of
their old accendancy will hear with grim
smile. Senator Fenton wrote letter in which
the good man expressed his admiration of 'sthe
spotless purity and integrity of character of
Greeley, in which matter, it must be confessed
Fenton is an excellent judge. Mr. James
Brooks, too, who was formerly an extreme wbig
and know-nothing, and more recently a Demo,
GRAFT, writes to say that, after "a temporary SEN
aration, he is glad to find himself again on the
same platform with his old friend Greeley AS
they were together when they were Wings. and
separated when the one was a Democrat and
the other Republican, in what character do
they now embrace? Has Mr.. G. ceased to be a
Republican, or Brooks a Democrat, that they clasp
hands so fervently? or are they bothi simply
looking to political success without regard to
the principles which they formerly protested to
hold dear. DOL

AN IcIcLE Two THOUSAND MILES LONG,
According to a letter from st. Johns, N. F., in
the New York Post, the Arctic regions have
this year thrown off an ice spur of an UMPIRE
cedented magnitude, which is drifting down in
to the Gulf Stream and chilling its tropical
temperature The writer says that since early
January enormous fields of ice, sometimes 200
miles in breadth, have been passing the shores
of Newfoundland in almost a continuous
stream The thickness of this field ice is from
twenty to thirty feet. The distance between
Baffin's Bay, where the ice fields are formed,
and the waters of the Gulf Stream, where the
masses are dissolved, is from 1900 to 1000 miles.
1t may be affirmed without exaggeration that
river of ice, varying from so to 200 miles in
breadth and 1000 miles in length, has been for
three months pouring necessarily its contents
into the tepid waters of the Gulf Stream The
winter has been fearfully severe, and the
quantity and thickness of the ice unprecedent-
ed. The Eruption of this immense mass of ice
into our latitude may account for the cold and
backward season we are experiencing
