A good story Is told Of postmaster
out In Iowa. A man asked the price
Of postage stamps and was told "three
cents" whereupon he asked If he
couldn't have them cheaper IL he took
four or five. To this the accommodating
postmaster responded, ave cannot
sell them at less rate now. We could
have done 80 until lately, but now the
Government punches holes around
each stamp for the convenience Of the
people, which so Increases the cost that
we cannot afford any discount" The
satisfied customer cheerfully paid
three cents.

One of the most inexplicable malades
which has ever afflicted mankind is the
mania which persons suffering under an
overdose of geography have for diving by
freezing. There are now no less than ten
expeditions of this class of scieptitic sui
cides who desire ID escape death by
drowning, hanging. consumption, liver
complaint. horse disease, and above all,
the peaceable death of a Christian, in his
bed, by betaking themselves as near to the
North Pole as is necessary to extinguish
human life. The pretense tina. these en-
petitions sail northward to make d;scov-
cries. was exploded nearly a century ago,
by the last man who could, in the nature
of the case, make a discovery. for he dis
covered that there was nothing there to
be discovered. Since then. it is clear that
the motive is death by freezing. which is
said to be peculiarly charming and felici-
tous mode of making ones exit from this
world. Mr.. Halls American expedition
has reached Tossiusak. the most northern
Danish settlement in Greenland, where il
is trying to purchase sixty or seventy
sledge-dogs to carry it further. 1t is said
that our Danish friends in Greenland
think that our American expedition vii
succeed in reaching the same point reached
by Sir John Franklin and his crew, viz.
death by freezing. The Swedish expe
lition, which sailed in July, from from
so. is stopped at Spitzbefgen. and viii
start for the Pole by reindeer sledge mex
spring. A Norwegian expedition is alst
circumnavigating SpitZbergen in searcl
ofthe freezing point. A French eXpedi
rion has put back. and failed. owing t
breaking the screw of the vessel, while
another Norwegian expedition failed
owing to its inability to find an opening
in the ice. Mr.. Octave Pavy is goinG
rom San Francisco to ErangelfSLand o.
to the bottom. on a monitor raft. Mean
while, all the information of value which
has been obtained cor corning the P0la
wastes has been picked up by the NOrS'
sailors and whalemen who have in TIN

Strait in single summer. This dis
cevery. the only one OF any estimable i'm
pOrtance made in Arctic explorations o

soon had no expedition whatever been tit
ted out. The London AthenGum says IN
more sig. ificant fact has been added Il
our knowledge of Arctic geography o

significant. as even il a vessel could sal
through, from Spitzbergen to Behring'
Strait in one summer, it would be OF ~
consequence, as there would be no reaso
why any vessel should do it. Altogether
therefore, it is clear that it is not the val

that stimulate to Arctic explOi ations, bu

Worth, the Man-Milliner.

l think there can be no credence put in
the New York paragraphs in regard to
Worth's bankruptcy. One to the effect
that he had bankrupted others would be
much more to the point. His sign in Rue
de Ia PAX is simple but striking, ir black
letters, on a brass plate-''Worth, the
Premier" Entering the court you en-
counter another, with the request that you
will wipe your feet, ''if you please" and
not smoke on the stairs. His rooms are
up two flights, the floors are waxed. the
walls neatly tinted and frescoed. There
are counters lined with silks in every con-
ceivable shade of color, and wooden cases
for dresses bearing the Worth address.
Worth himself is a Frenchman. and NOT
English as has often been stated, and his
name is pronounced much the same as if
spelled wort" He is of medium heigth,
well built; has sleepy-lOoking, halfopan,
black eyes He has full and regular
forehead, with the corner bumps strik-
ingly developed. He nose is STABLE and
bumpy enough in outline to satisfy Rus
kin's demand for curved lines. He wears
a somewhat huge mustache, and speaks in
a deep, cultural tone, as if his voice issued
from his boots. The entire expression of
the mans face is heavy, and his manner is
in accord with it. lacking entirely in the
vivacity and quickness that we naturally
expect Of the French. He is cOndescead-
ing in his manner, touching his hat and
bowling as If there was great deal of dig
nifty on one side or the other to be pre-
served. He is young, not more IAN thir-
ty-five or forty, and seems to regard his
art as OF the sublimest importance. His
assistants, with the exception of two or
three stubby Frenchmen, fat and bald,
who pronounce everything to be ''tres
.iOlie," are very stylish young women,
tall, slender, and handsomely dressed 10

All Aboard.

Sic ittr ad astyd, or. rather, to the Pole.
BY balloon specially designed by Nj. Sivel,
a FrenctIman. for this purpose. The
.Sociste Franchise de Navigation Ae7ishne,
which probably none of our readers ever
heard of. has been put in possession of
VI. Sivel's idea of aerial exploration of the
North Pole. What there is in that locality
10 attract SO many brave men, we may
well wonder ut, but, any thing or nothing,
some have determined to reach it, AMI at
this moment Payer and Weyprecht are
striving to do so.
NJ Svel is firm believer in balloons.
and proposes to take out his flying vessel
in time 10 reach the most northerly point
in Summer; he is confident of being abe
to remain several months in mid-air, and
wants the company of "a certain number
of sauans," presumably believers also in
the safety of balloons. He has improved
the models of balloons in use, and adopted
certain methods of preventing it rising
toe high, never higher. indeed, than 500
metres. The car, too, is constructed so
as to preserve in its interior an equable
temperature; it is deckel over, and from
that deck the observations are to be taken.
The report of NJ. Sivers proposal thus
describes, in anticipation, the arrival of
the travellers at the Pole: 'On approach
ing the Pole, the travellers observe their
instruments with great ardOr. They pass
it, they want to return, they try to land
as far as possible from the Pole itself.
They will reach temperate chimes, will de-
scend into a civilized country, If they can j;
else they will be satisfied to drop down
upon the inhabited northern regions. Ii
obliged to land still further North, owing
to accidents or want of winds, they will
descend ony,ohere. If at sea, they will hoist
a mast and sail; if on frozen ground or
ice-floes, they will harness to the car dogs,
If they can get them if not, draw it them
selves.'
There's fine chance for the enterpris-
ing! Get down anywhere, sail in bal
loon car on the open Polar Sea, or get out
and draw it yourself over foes that have
proved fatal to more than one bold ex-
plorer. True, you can always ascend into
the regions of air, and alight again i'm a
civilized cOuntry-if you can.-Enchange.

Having.

THE custom of haZing, which. in most
of our colleges, was far more prevalent
some ten or fifteen years ago than it now
is. is one of those practices against which
it is of course necessary for college author
tiles to set their faces, yet one which, ii
not carried to disgraceful extremes, is not
altogether an unmixed evil. UndOubted-
w it gives a ZeSt to student life which,
without it. the new-fledged sophomore
would be likely to consider but a cold and
barren existence, in which the curriculum
is only an ingeniOusly cOntrived intellect
ual treadmill, and the chapel but the
means of bringing him under the eyes OF
the assembled dOns. An old graduate
who, being unnamed, looks back at the
time when, as freshman, he was haZed,
feels no grudge against the sOphomores
who did the work for him, and may even
think that he derived some benefit from
it, while his recollection of the first time
he helped to make up a haZing party is
very like to be so pleasant that he will
laughingly exploit it for the benefit of his
son, who is now perhaps just about to en-
same mill which made his father <'such d
capital old fellow" 1t cannot bat be that
a sophomore shall have an exhaustless
fund of cenceit and high spirits when en-.
tering upon his new year, and the
natural channel through which these
two not wholly reprehenslble feel
ings find vent is the teasing Of
the young and almost equally conceitcG
freshman who, having been the pride q
some high school, enters upon his collegi-
ate career in the full conviction that he
will necessarily carry of all the honors,
and at graduation be asked by the facul
ty and trustees to become president of hi;
Alma Mater, or at least professor of Intel
lectual and Moral Philosophy. Should
such young man be haZed in
a gentle, if not very respectful maj
ner, the lesson will be likely tt
do him some good, as he will see thai
his fe}lew-students make no wide distinc
ton between him and other freshmen, anG
utterly disbelieve in his transcendent pow
ers of mind. 1t seems that in one OF oul
colleges the freshpen, being more nymer
Gus than the sOphOmOres, hay taken il
into their heads to reverse prder o
proceedings and haze their Il enal ha
zers. A little of this sort of will no
injure the sophomOres-indeed, may d.
them good-but the freshmen are assured
ly laying up wrath against the day wheI
they themselves shall be classmen WIZ

A New Feature i'm the Horse Disease

Within the last few days the horse dis
ease, which has caused so much trouble
in the thousands of stables in this city,
has developed new phase, especially in
the city railroad stables and among those
horses which had the least discharge from
the nostrils. The general superstition is
that the matter, instead of being dis
charged, passed into the system, and now
produces a species of dropsy, the animals
legs and body swelling to an enormous
size. Several animals have already died
in great pain from this new development
of the disease. The treatment adopted is
rubbing the swollen parts with lnament
composed of camphOr, hartshorn and
sweet oil. and light doses of physic. Sew
eral valuable horses which have had the
