D.. J. Hayes. the Arctic explorer
says that the Captain of the Congress
thinks there was something very myste
rious in Captain Halls death. 1 would
not like to say that he WAS killed by
one OF his men in mu!iny, but it would
almost look so. ! have never kuown
OF any one dying in that region OF
apop'exy, and Captain Hall certainly
did not look like an spoplectic man. 1
think there is strong probability that
the people on board the Polaris are SAFE,
aud that the vessel will be back here by
September. The men who deserted the
ship probably did 80 because OF Halls
death. He was q brave and resolute
man, and set out with determination
to reach the North Pole, il it would take
him FIVE years 10 doit. He was one OF
the pluckiest men ever saw and would
certainly have stayed two years more ,
accomplish his purpose il death had
spared him death or murder, don't
know which. Professor Baird, OF the
Smithsonian Institute, thinks the Hall
expedition far from failure, and that
it has no doubt realized many Of the OBJ
iects in view in sending it out.

A Model OF Paris.

One of the most curious exhibits for
uarded to Vienna is q model OF Paris,
in pasteboard. and measuring twenty
yards in circumference. 1t is faithful
copy Of the capital before the Comnfun-
lists changed its features or the Germans
its suburbs Each public building is
distinctly shown, as also the chief streets;
the Notifications look as large as life.
I have encountered several manufac-
turers accustomed to apply for, and
better occupy, epace at universal exhi-
bitions, aud who will be conspicuous by
their absence this time at Vienna.
They decline to display their new pro-
cesses, believing, as they allege, the
Germans would at once copy without
having for them.

The Supreme Court has just rendered
q decision invslidstipg The clause
usually printed on the backs o. railroad
passes e1empting the company IN case
of accident, The decision does not in
clude the ordinary complimentary pass
on which no consideration is appar ent,
but only ofthat large class o. passes
granted ION account o. freight. as, for
instance, drovers' tickets toreturn home
free after z sposing OF their cattle. ln
these cases the consideration is obvious,
aui the exceptions on the back are OF
no effect. II came to the knowledge OF
the court also that some railroads were
actually selling tickets in their ordinary
business which stipulate an exemption
OF the company from damages in con-
sequence OF accidents, and holding that
the a. cep eptauce Of a psid-for ticket bear
ing that stipulation absolved the com
pauy from liability The sum OF the
decision is, that in all cases where q
consideration, OF whatever sort, is given
for the ticket, the company is liable 'ol
damages.

he WAS opposed to prescription it Is
true, and so were q great many RnPup-
icans For this We give him and them
all proper credit; but we challenge
the production Of the record
for his political opinions. We
cali 'or his inaugural addresses, his
messag,s, and for every other syllable
he has ever uttered that has gone down
to history. In all this we submit whether
there is one word in support OF Democ

well the truth.
TIE word Democracy that charms
us most he has never suffered 10 escape

from his pen. We know that politi-
clans are apt to appeal to the passions
OF Democracy TO carry their ends. and
in that sense we are aware that Cover
nor Jacob has used this term on the
hustiugs. But is he q Democrat 1t
is noble designation, and he need not
be ashamed TO proclaim it IN every sem
timent he utters, il be feels the senti-

ciples Of that great party. Then why

fancy OF the Republicans We may
add, from his acts, as we'll as his words,
We must judge him. From the day
