hear little reader exclaim. "What is

FORE"
Didn't you2 Well, fish palace is a
very large aquarium. Don't screw up
your mouth and squint your eyes as
though I'd been fooling you, but read
what l have copied for you from an
English magazine about a great
aquarium. You will be very much IL

You have all read fairy tales of en-
chanted golden. fishes who were dis
guised princes and princesses, and who
lived in fsh-ponds in the grounds of
palaces that ought to have been their
own. In these days they build palaces
for the fishes themselves, without much
hope that care or kindness will change
them into anything else. 1t is one of
these palaces l want to tell you some
thing about. One day, good many
years ago, in walking along boulevard
IN Paris, we saw window with some
curious glasses of living fish and sea
anemones in it. Bat though it looked
like an ordinary shop, we found our
selves, on passing through the door, in
a very wonderful place. Straight before
us was turnstile, and beyond the turn
stile was passage full of dim greenish
light. 1t was a fish palace, a great
aquarium. Low music and dim light
were everywhere, and slowly our eyes
grew used to it, and We began to see
deep green water on each side of us
with Just glass between, and all the
water full of strange creatures. Once
we stopped at place where hideous
monsters with many arms and great
eyes stared at US; they were the pieuvres
or devil-fish. Then we came to troop

l suppose catching little things to eat.
Some would suddenly uncurl their tails
and dart through the water straight and
fast on some errand best known to them
selves. Odd, queer little things, enough
to mount whole regiment of sea
fairies. Do you know what q sea-horse
is? He is a very small fellow, not more
than about three inches long, whose
home is in the Mediterranean Sea; he
has head very like bony little black
horse, and a tail sometimes straight,
sometimes wriggling, prettiest when
curled up round and round in ridgy
coils, and his rough little neck arched
like spirited pony. But pretty as he
was, We had to leave him to look at his
neighbors. There were dainty little
"demoiselles, also from the Mediterra-
mean, in their dresses of scarlet and
blue, one or two enormous frogs, sponge
and coral-making little creatures, and
many more, but it is so long ago that l
cannot remember all of them, and the
pretty fish palace, like many other
pretty things, is gone from Paris.

EMIGRATION TO Brazil Nor SUccEssruL.-
1t appears that number Of English emigrants
to Brazil were so unsuccessful and suffered SO
much after arriving in that tropical country
that the Brazilian government, on the pressing
demands Of Great Britain, has given them q
free passage home. White people are tempted
to seek a home sometimes in tropical regions
from the glowing accounts given Of the rich
ness OF the soil, the wonderful productiveness
and gorgeous scenery and climate, without re-
fecting upon their inability to sustain health
and strength as culiyators under o burning
sun. To persuade white laborers Of the tenn
perate zone to emigrate to tropical countries
is snare and cruelty. The temperate climate
Of the United States or British colonies is alone
suitable for European emigrants. The negro
and Malay races can only persistently cult
vnts the soil Of the tropics,

Samana Bsy tn q Squal.

The mariner who puts to sea in o leaking
tub in the season Of cyclones may well, to
use a nautical phrase, 'Iook out for
squalls" 1t will be small consolation to
the Samana Bay Company that. the
prospect Of their innocent little argosy being
swamped in Dominican revolutionary squall
was held before their, eyes when the
sails Of their new enterprise were about
to be bent It was oil fun, no doubt,
to the sagacious Baez, who pocketed
the shining elements of the subsidy. Probably
he would have been contented to see the
equi valents promised carried. out, because
it would have meant that he could
enjoy his authority as well as his
money under the shadow Of his own
banana tree. If the ragged creoles who cast
hungry eyes on Samana Bay from their
mountain eyries succeed in whipping the rag
ged creoles who support Baez, the latter
gentleman will take wing if he succeeds in
retaining his head and fly somewhere like
the dove and build him nest, which he
has taken care to have ample materials
for "feathering." So it comes that the Sa-
mana spectators are looking to Congress for
moral support. What, may we, ask, has be-
come Of the armies they were. to raise, the
fleets they were to build and the fortunes
that were to. result from it all? Have
they dwelt only in the realm Of the
prospectus writer's careering fancyf Whew
q blast of cir. from the mountains and the
successor of the East India Company is quiv-
ering like anaspen leaf in hurricane. The
revolutionists may have some ideas that Baez
was an irresponsible swindler,. and they may
invoke in their ragged way the spirit which the
ragged Americans Of Washingtons army were
once proud to call patriotism. Shall the
United States then be made the instrument to
crush that spirit out, because the banana mer-
chants of Samana, like the buchu bankers Of
New York, think they have 1.infusnce" in
Washington?

The .Advanc.ment Of wome n ;,

It is pleasant to observe any movement
which has for its object the real Advancement
of womanhood, and we shall therefore feel
glad if the new association which met yester-
day and on Wednesday at the Union League
Theatre, and which processes to entertain this
aim, proves that it has not been started In
vain. The senseless efforts of ignorant,
women and the meretricious efforts of vicious
ones have been criticized in this paper repeat
obloquy which they 80 well deserve. But we
shall be among the first TO offer fluctuations to
any association Of intelligent and virtuous
women working for sensible purpose, or, in
fact, to any association whatever of women
whose aims are pure and who possess sufi-
cient sense to perceive what advice is good
and to select suitable leaders. Sensible and
good women have o mighty work to do for
their own sex--a work which men cannot hope
to accomplish. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, for
instance, spoke pertinently when shp said at
the meeting on Wednesday that "the woman
who had too much on her back was liable to
have nothing in her pocket and less in her
heart" This is so sadly true, and there is
such abundant reason for the criticism having
been made, that the sooner the Association
for the Advancement Of Women achieves
something the better. No sensible man can
walk down Broadway without feeling commits
Grafton, to use no heavier word, for large
proportion of that sex whom he is bound to
honor by oil the traditions Of chivalry. He
is too apt to come home saying to himself
that woman would be the true feminine OF
man, only she paints her face, drags her dress,
wasps her waist and INDUCES in score OF
senseless caprices Is she little lower than
the angels9 Yes; but there is oil infnity in
that difference of height.

Return OF tho Tigross-More Arctic
Explorations.

Explorations.
The return of the Tigress safe from search
which could not be other than fruitless will be
hailed with joy by those whose fears had been
aroused in her regard. From the special
HERALD dispatches published elsewhere
the story of her voyage in the waters
of Bafin Bay may be gained. It
will be seen that the trusty little vessel en-
countered series of severe storms, threaten
ing at one time necessity for cutting away
her foremast. The season Of storms, whose
first breaths they encountered, happily with
out damage, hastened their return to St.
Johns, where they first learned, to their
joy. that Buddington and his party
were already in the United States. This
closes finally the expedition to the North
Pole, which cost no life but that of the
deplored commander. Captain Hall. Propo-
sitions for o new expedition are already on
foot, and, it is said, the route via Behring
Strait will be approved by the Navy Depart
ment. It will be first necessary, we presume,
to give some good reasons why the Smiths
Sound route, whose advantages are recognized
in England as well as America. should be
abandoned at this day.
On the subject Of Arctic explorations and
the practicability Of finding the Pole, the
views of Mr.. Leigh Smith, drawn from the
cruise of the Diana and to be found elsewhere,
will be read with interest.

This democratic vote withheld from Gree

Grants majority of 137,74S in Pennsylvania,
but for the general collapse Of the Cincinnati
and Baltimore coalition, with the disclosures
of last years October elections.
From these instructions the Ohio democracy
last summer led the way for the democratic
party of the Union, in . return to their old
sanctuary and in cutting adrift from the libe-
raj republicans. The results have established
the sagacity of the movement. The unity Of
the democratic party is restored, and the
liberal republicans as third party, we see,
can operate to some purpose. And it appears
liberals in 1872 did not profit from the deci-
sive examples before them as to what may be
accomplished by third Presidential party on
o new departure. It was the little abolition
party supporting Birney that defeated Henry
Clay in 1874; 1t was the third party of
free soilers, under Martin Van Buren,, that de-
feated General Cass in l848 (; it was the third
party, that of Fillmore, that defeated Fremont
in 1855 and had there been only one demo-
cratic party in 1860 Lincoln would probably
have been defeated
In the general results In Ohio. whatever
may be the exact details, from the action of
the democrats and the liberals, each as q
separate party, there is encouragement to the
opposition forces, under the same plan of
operations in New York, looking to our
approaching November election. General
apathy" as we have shown, operates against
the party in power, and upon short.vote, in
New York, the probabilities in an .'off year"
are strongly in favor of the democrats. In
1866 "a Congressional Year, Fenton (repub-
ican) was elected Governor by 1900 ma
iority; but in 1867, on the short vote of an
''off year." the State was carried by A, 900
majority for the democrats This is an "off
veal" and Ohio indicates the prospect in New
York, provided, always. that the democrats
their opportunity. And yet If they
recover the State, in an election on short
vote, going by default, their victory, like all
these other incidental successes, will, for Pre-
sidential purposes signify nothing. Next
year, in the elections for a new Congress, the
reserves on both sides will be drawn into the
battle, and the results will have an important
bearing upon the contest for the Presidential
