The Wealth of Alaska,

A correspondent gives some idea of
Alaska's wealth as fellows: "Then, in
the way of fish, the cod, salmon, halibut,
and herring present their clAims, with a
score of others. The Goldfish of the
Shmmagin Islands is superior to the
Eastern article, and the supply it unlimit-
eu. A species of small fish called the
yulikon is remarkable for it's plenteous
ness and as being the fattest member of
the finny tribe--so greasy that the Ind ais
use it after drying as d torch; they light
the tail, and that and the backbone serve
as a wick, the "lamp" burning for some
time. 10 valuable oils there are the
whale, walrns, seal and other descriptions
for manufacturing and lubricating pur-
poses, to Say nothing of the bars grease"
essential to everys we'll furnished toilet,
and the cod-liver oil which furnishes con-
sumptives with u new pair of lungs year.
Iy. The fur bearing animals of Alaska
comprise both the land and sea otter, the
walrus, bear, wolf, deer, fox, martin,
mink, muskrat, nearly every kind of seal,
in short, all the desirable and beautiful
species one could ask for. Walrus ivory
and whalebone constitute source, also,
of considerable profit. 1t has been hardly
penetrated many minds that myriads of
birds Of the richest plumage exist 81 away
up there" but such IS the fact, and In re
gard to numbers, it is said that il the
surplus down of Alaska 'Nere collected
and distributed no person on The Pacific
coast need repose on any harder bed.

The Increase OF Population in Europe.

DR., E. Decasne, in noted commu-
nication to the Paris Academy of Sci
ence shows that from the triple point
of view of the fecundity of marriages,
of the absolute number of births over
deaths, France occupies the lower place
of all the European States. In Prussia
100 marriages give 460 children: in
France the same number of marriages
give only 800. In Prussia the number
of births for each 100 of the popula-
tion, generally, is 3.98 per annum in
France there are only 2.25. In Prussia
the excess of births over deaths in
each million cf the population is 49,
900 per annum, while in France it only
amounts 10 2,4OO elf we may ad-
NIT" says DR.. Decasne, cas- concln-
sion from the above figures that the
doubling of the population of France,
despoiled of two of its finest provinces,
and by unheard-of disasters, will re
quire ITO years to be effected, while
that of Prussia will require only 42
years, Great Britain 50, and Russia 66,
some estimate may be made of the
amount of evil that has befallen this

this mining gossip:
''The grandest enterprise of this gold
and silver region is the Caribou Mine
located about eight hundred yards west
of the town, at an altitude of 10000
feet above the water. It is uni.
versally conceded by experienced
miners to be the richest and best paw
ing silver mine,in proportion to it's de
velopment, of which we have anv re
cord. On the surface it extends l 400
feet, for which a government title has
been obtained. There are eleven
shafts, aggregating over 1 ZOO feet. the
deepest of which is 100 feet from the
surface. The mine contains ten levels

On the head of one of the forks of
Middle Boulder, six miles west of Car
ibou, wonderful lode has recently
been discovered. 1t appears to be the
outcroppings of an enormous silver
ledge or system of lodes so linked and
woven together as TO give them the
appearance of one vast lode. literally
bursting from the mountain. By actual
measurement it is sixty three feet in
width, carrying ore the entire distance
that shows an assay varying from sew

On the 4th of July it was discovered,
and thus it is called the Fourth of

assayed by Prof. Dawley, gave over

is located at the timber line, but the
ledge extends up the mountain into
perpetual snow banks, and over the
range and down the western slope to
the Pacific waters.
The surrounding formation is prima-
ry granite, and the ore carries galena,
black and gray sulphurets, green and
blue carbonate of copper, with here
and there traces of zinc, arsenic and
antimony. A large body of beautiful
timber is near the mine, and six hun

The Horse Disease in the Dominion.

Some days ago the telegraph made
reference to the general prevalence of
the horse disease in Toronto, the mat
ter becoming SO serious as to impede
travel and transportation, and involve
considerable loss. 1t appears that the
same epidemic prevails in Montreal and
its vicinity, and is rapidly on the in
crease. A Toronto paper gives some
of the symptoms of the disease and the
proper mode of treatment, which, in
view of its possible spread, may be use
full:
The disease appears to be a catarr-
hal fever, of an epizootic nature, the
result of some atmo. pheric influence,
as is shown by it's sudden appearance
over large extent of country, attack
ing all kinds of horses, old and young,
in good condition or poor. The pre-
monitory symptoms are dullness,
staring coat, a watery discharge from
the nose speedily followed by a severe
hacking cough the pulse is quickened
and the mouth hot, the nasal men,
branes are injected and the ears and
legs are unnaturally cold, the discharge
from the nose increases and becomes
of a greenish yellow color, the breath
ing is increased, and in some
cases labored and severe. Al
though this disease must necessarily
prove a great loss and annoyance
TO the community generally, we do not
think it is likely to be of fatal char
acter where ordinary care and rational
treatment are adopted. In several in
stances the attack has been severe, but
generally increased by overwork or
some other deb1litating infueace. As
the disease will run certain course,
affected animals should be carefully
used. and allowed plenty of pure air,
with liberal diet of nourishing and
easily digested food. The stables
should be well aired daily and thor
oughly ventilated; and it is also ad-
visable to use disinfectants, as the
chloride of lime or carbolic acid.
When the throat is very sore, causing a
a difficulty in swallowing, a mild en-
brocatlon should be applied and the
fever allayed by mild febrifuge medi-
clne,"

The Lakes.

The following thing has recently
been put forth concerning our great
lakes:
''Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy
feet deep; but Lake Ontario, which IS
592 feet deep, is 23O feet below the tide
level of the ocean, or as low as most
parts of the Gulf of st. Lawrence; and
the bottom of Lakes Huron, Michigan
and Superior, although the surface is
so much higher, are all, from their vast
depths. on a level with the bottom OF
Lake Ontario. Now, as the discharge
through the river Detroit, after allow
ing fer the probable portion carried OF
by evaporation, does not appear by any
means equal to the quantity OF
water which the three upper lakes
receive, it has been conjectured that a
subterranean river may run from
Lake Superior, by Huron, to Lake On
tarlo. This conjecture is by no means
improbable, and accounts for the sim
gular fact that salmon and herring are
caught in all lakes communicating with
the st. Lawrence, but in 40 others. AS
the Falls of Niagra, must have always
existed, it would puzzle the naturalist
to say how these fish got into the up
per lakes without some such subter
ranean river; moreover, any periodical
obstruction of the river would furnish
q not improbable solution OF the mys'
terious hux and refiuS OF the lake. -

Crime in San Francisco.

The San Francisco Call says that not
less than fourteen persons are lying IN
the cells of the prison in that city
awaiting trial for murder, and adds, as
q corollary to the statement, that the
lax manner in which the laws OF the
State are enforced is the true reason OF
that state of things. Until our
courts" declares the Call, "are gov
erned in their decisions more by a
sense of what is due to Justice, thau to
quibbles; until attorneys are actuatea 1
by a higher moral sense IN the llne OF
defence they adopt IN defending crlml-
nails, and until the jury system Is re-
modelled, we see no way OF avoiding the
consequences of the frequent offences
which are perpetrated against the lives
and property of our citizens.

Ernst of Edelsheim.
BY JOHN HAY.

BY JOHN HAY.
TIL tell the story, kissing
This white hand for my pains
No sweeter heart, nor falser
Fer filed such fine, blue veins.
I'll sing a song of true love,
Ny Mimi dear, to YOU;
Controrid contrd7ids-
The rule is old and true.
The happiest Of all lovers
Was Ernst of Edelsheim
And why he was the happiest,
I'll tell you in my thyme.
One summer night he wandered
Within lonely glade,
And, couched in moss and moonlight,
He found sleeping maid.
The stars of midnight sifted
Above her sands of gold
She seemed a slumbering statue,
So fair and white and cold.
Fair and white and cold she lay
Beneath the starry skies
Rosy was her waking
Beneath the Ritter's eyes. a,t ..
He won her drowsy fancy,
He bore her to his towers,
And swift with love and laughter
Flew mornings purpled hours.
But when the thickening sunbesms
Had drunk the cleaning dew,
A misty cloud of sorrow
Swept DER her eyes, deep blue.
She hung upon the Ritter's neck,
She wept with love and pam,
She showered her sweet warm kisses
Like fragrant summer rain.
81 am no Christian soul, she sobbed,
AS in his arms she lay;
"I'm half the day woman,
A serpent half the day.
And when from yonder bell-tower
Rings out the noon day chime,
Farewell ! farewell forever,
Sir Ernst of Edelsheim u
s'Ah not farwell forever !"
The Ritter wildly cried,
g I will be saved or lost with thee,
My lovely Wili-Bride y
Loud from the lordly bell-tower
Rang out the noon of day,
And FROM the bower of roses
A serpent slid away.
But when the midwatch moonlight
Was shimmering through the grove,
He clasped his bride thrice-dowered
With beauty and with love.
The happest of all lovers
Was Ernst of Edelsheim,-
His true love was serpent
Only half the time

the continual upturning of treasures in

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE
correspondence between George A. Humid
ley, ESQ.,, independent candidate for the
city sergeantcy, and DIR. E. II. Smith,
chairman of the Republican City Central
Committee, which will be found in our can
didates' column, speaks for itself, and per-
haps needs not one word of explanation
from us. But it is important as indicating
the course determined upon by the Repub.
lican Committee of the city with regard to
the impending municipal election. That
course, we doubt not, will meet with the
unqualified approval of every Republican
voter in the city of Richmond. Nor do we
presume that Mr.. Hundley needs any COM
mendations at our hands. He is a we'll
known and reliable citizen of Richmond.
and if elected to the place for which he is
a candidate, we believe he will make an
honest, fair and square officer, concerned
only to discharge his duties faithfully and
impartially. We refer the reader to the

The Dispatch labors this morning to
show why the people of this State should
prefer Greeley to Grant, and intimates that
the State would get rid of Judge Under
wood if the former is elected. We fear
our neighbor is not posted as to the rela-
tons existing between Mr.. Greeley and
Judge Underwood, and that he is reckoning
without his host. The fact is, and we
have it from the best authority,
that Judge Underwood is probably the
Oldest and most intimate friend and con-
slant correspondent Mr.. Greeley has in
Virginia. When visiting Washington it is
Greeley's frequent custom to visit the wor-
thy judge, at Alexandra, and make his
house his home. Ofcourse, we design no
reflection upon the judge, who does not
wear white hat.

y How did that homely woman contriye
to get married." is not unfrequently re-
marked of some good domestic creature
whom her husband regards as the apple of
his eye, and in whose plain face he sees
something better than beauty. Pretty
girls who are vain of their charms are
rather prone to make observations of
this kind; and consciousness of the fact
that flowers of loveliness are often left to
pine on the stem, while weeds of homeli-
ness go off readily, is no doubt in many
cases at the bottom of the question.
The truth IS, most men prefer homeli-
ness and amiability to beauty and caprice.
Handsome women are apt to oyervalue
themselves, and in waiting for an immense
bid occasionally overstep the market.
Their plain sisters, on the contrary, aware
of their personal deficiencies, generally
lay themselves out to produce an agreea-
BILE impression, and in most instances sue
coed. They don't aspire to capture para
gons with prlncely fortunes, but are willing
to take anything respectable and love-
worthy that Providence may throw in thier
way. The rock ahead of our naughty
Junos and coquettish Hebes is fastidious-
ness. They reject and reject, until nobody
cares to woo them. Men don't like to be
subdued or to be trihed with-a lesson that
thousands OF pretty women do learn too
late.
Miss Hannah More, very excellent and
pious person, who knew whereof she wrote,
recommends every unmarried sister to ac-
cept the offer Of the first good, sensible
lover who falls in her way. But ladies'
whose mirror, aided by the glamour of van
ity, assures them that they were born for
conquest, pay no heed to such advice. 1t
is noteworthy fact that homely girls gen.
orally get better husbands than fall to the
lot OF their beautiful sisters. Men who are
caught merely by pretty face and figure
do not, as rule, amount to much. The
practical, useful, thoughtful portion of
mankind is wisely content with unpretend-
ing excellence. -
