The Week..
A RESUME OF CURRENT OPIN-
ION, HOME AND FOREIGN.

THE WEEK fills place uncccupied hitll.
erto insAmefican Journalism, though its lin
portance has long ago been denionstrated in
England. From week to week it presents
the cream Of home and foreign joutnali snl,
and gathers from the leading papers Of
America aud England, aud OF all sections
and parties, the most important utterAnces
on current questions of Politics, Society,
Religion, sLiterature, Science, Art, Music,
the Drama and all other topics likely 10 in.
terest the reader. In addition to the longer
articles, which themselves coyet every ,vari,
ETY. Of subject, there is Literary Gossip, Sci.
ence, and Art Gossip, Musical and Dramat-
e Gossip, and General Notes and News, Civ
ing The freshest and most copious iutclli-
gence ia I'll these departments. In no other
paper can be found so large aud SO various
an amount of instructive aud entertaining
reading matter.
The first number THE WEEK was pub
lished on December I'd of last \ ear, aud in
the short space Of two mouths has achieved
most decided and tiattering success. No
paper has ever received more cordial words
from the press and the critics, and it is the
general testimony that THE WEEK has met
an important and well defined want in the
Journalism Of America.

IN Open Polar Sea.


Has the aspiration of ages, the dis
covery ofan open polar sea, been at
tanned? The German expedition
claims to have discovered it. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether they have
solved tho great Northern problem,
or whether it is yet shrouded in the
mists that hang over the great polar
circle. ~ sns.
The Geological ard Statistical So
ciety of Frankfort ON the Main has
received a report from Lieutenant
julius Poyer, one of the leaders Of the
German Expedition to the North
Pole. It was dated October Q, 1871
from the =. Norwegian coast, or
board the ship Harold Heartage, and
presents some new facts of interest &c
the scientific world. The expedition
took a new route, and designed to be
merely preliminary, and advanced tc
seventy nine degrees north; but i
was attended with unexpected and
gratifying results. The waters be
tween Nova Zembla and Sritsberger
were explored. This led to the dis
coyery of what is regarded as the
open polar sea, stretching on and en-.
circling with its waters the north
pole. This may be conjecture, but
the yoyagers feel confident that they
stand OH the threshold, AMI will soon
enter so far as to show beyond al
doubt that these unknown waters
that laved the sides Of their ships
have connection with the great and
unknown sea that circles around the
north pole. They were in current
much warmer than the atmosphere
around them, and this prevents the
accumulation of ice, and moves OF
far northwa:d till it reaches the apes
of the earth and passes beyond it
At all events, this is the theory of tLt
German voyagers. Sentinel

Mr.. NEEYES' BILL.

On Wednesday the 25th inst. in
the Assembly Mr.. Neeves introduced
the following which We clip from
the Legislative proceedings as pub.
lished in the Madison Jo,rnat:
By Mr. NEEyES, 10 amend and restric,
chapter 10, local laws of 1870, authorizing
Wood county 10 aid ia the construction Of
railroads. (Mr, NEEyES moved suspea.
sion Of the rules for the Immediate consider,
alton Of the bill. 1t was read, and ii sp.
pearcd that it amended the law Of 1870 50
that no more than 800, 900 aid should be
given any one railroad amending section 8
so as to reduce the amount therein from
81 $4,000 TO 100000, and to prevent the de-
livery Of any bonds before a road was com
pleted to Grand Rapids or Centraiia. The
Assembly refused to suspend the rules, aud
bill was referred 10 The judiciary Cmmitte
The action Of Mr.. Neeves is mex.
plicable. When we first saw tina,
Mr.. n. had introduced a bill restrict
ing Wood Go. from aiding roads to
the extent of more than 100000 We
las will be seen by brief mention
el:cwhcre) commended the course Of
our representative. The action Q.
Mr.. Neeves is anything but straight
forward and consistent. Any ration
al man can see in the rendering of The
bill a blow at our railroad interests
and we assert that the course pursued
by Mr.. Neeves if intended to affect
in the least the construction of the
G. =. 4 LIP. and Chicago Il Superior
Road, DIETER known as the Grand
Rapids & Portage City Road) is al
outrage upon his constituency who
have supported him almost alone, il
not entirely on the railroad issue.
Why did Mr.. Neeves desire to &c,
his bill through under suspension OF
the rules? We zee, as we know
every thinking man can see, why -
T/tGt ,7cdS TO be done mast he dOHt
guichly. Influential men from Wood
County and Grand Rapids have been
lobbying at Madison all winter in the
Interests Of the Tomah project, a pet
scheme, for the fuuherance Of which
they have felt willing to sacrifice
everything else, and to throw in pin
cipie top of the heap.
Has Mr.. n. become convert to
the Tomah project? Has Mr.. Necyes
repudiated his faith and become SC
identified in the peculiar j. sls of a
faction as to ignore the inter-, Of the
district he represents? We do not
say he has. We simply say there is
a vast deal for him to explain away
and set right with his constituents.

Billiards as. Bo0kS.

a paragraph in our local columns,
yesterday morning, sugges sting to the
Young Mems Association a way
out " Of the difficulties which at pres
ent environ 1t, is asJ wonderfully
suggestive Of the moral and intellect

ono OF our citizens expresses himself
willing to assume the lease Of the

the Association, for the remainder OF

pretty strongly that in Milwaukee bill,

doubt, But this ought to be done
only as last eXpcdlent to save life.
Our city can certainly afford to sup.
port Library worthy the name. The
only question is, will she do so ? The
apathy Of citizens touching the mat
ter is the worst feature in the case.
We hope this proposition to erect Bill
lard tabernacle on the old library site
may awaken some of the latent enthu-
siasm Q, our people in reference to
the former. If the young men of the
| city cen sustain billiard hall, on the
proposed scale of magnifccnce which
Mr.. Dickinson suggests, there is no
reason why they can not sustain the
library III its stead. And they would
/ do this, were they offered sufficient
encouragement to do 50. The pres.
cnt Library room is not attractive.
1t needs moneyto make it so Once
let it be taStetully and conveniently
arranged, ard new atmosphere will
surround the place. Let there be a
billiard hall connected with it, open
to both sexes. Let there be quiet
reading rooms aud retired inches a,
/ part from the main apartment for con
/ verSation. Introduce comfortable
!. chairs, sofas, and tables; build the
book shelves Ia the ceiling and put NJ
y baIconv midway.
We plead for these things for The
honor OF our city, because In them i.
50 much Of good for the coming anC
the present generation. --Hjl'cauhe
