The Mornings News..Daylighti in The
East,

The news from New York this morn
,os il Of the mos, encouraging character.
The Stock Exchange was reopened and
the usual business transacted without a
rpple oil excitement, but with much
cheeriulness and good feeling. There was
q considerable rise in values. Currency
oecame plenty and cheap; gold declnea
a point or two; and foreign ex-
change went up two or three-an
Indication that foreign commerce is
about TO renew It's accustomed activity.
The settlements arising out Of the trans.
actions Of the Exchange before it closed
were Effected, 1t was announced, without
a single dClault-a fact showing q degree
Of sOlvency in the operators at the Ex-
change hardly to have been expected and
highly encouraging. In western cilies'
affairs do not look so cheerful as in New
York. The determination Of the Union
National Bank Of Chicago TO go into liqui'
,ls,Ion had depressing effect though it Is
announced thatits assets are ample to make
,oOd all its liabilities, and although its iail-
arc shows nothing except that the bank
had been imprudenuy managed and had
expanded its credits too far to admit Of q
speedy collection Of resources. There is
4 sort oi pause in these Western cities.
They are prepared to recover confidence
or grow panicky again, according to the
tenor of events in New York. Last even.
iug's intelligence from New York ought
to do something to reassure them and
we should have reports Of better feeling
throughout the West to-day.

TIE PROPOSED EXTRA sRss1oN.-Mr.
COPELAND telegrsphs to the Journal Of
Commerce that the proposition to call an
extra session OF Congress is debated in
Washington with determined vigor on
both sides. The Administration are dis
posed to combat the idea, because they
dom, believe the necessities Of tho occasion
require it, and because the extra session
called by President VAN BUREN, to legis'
late upon the circumstances attending the
psnic Of 1887, and by President
HARRISON in 1s4l, to consider the
proposition for II fiscal agency, both
reacted against the party calling the
extra session. They. say, however, that
the people seem to have begun q de.
msnd for 1t. Those who favor 1t say 1t
will cost no more than usual TO have an
extra session, and that 1t would be devot.
ed exclusively to the consideration Of the
special subject 1t was called to settle,
There Is general belief IN Washington
that the currency question would be set
tied by Congress III called together now)
by an expansion Of at least iorty.four
million dollars, and that the wrangling
and intriguing about the constitution Of
the committees would be postponed till
December. AS yet, however, the Pfesi'
dent has no intention Of calling any extra
Session.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Special CORES.
pondence oi the Tribune at Dundee gives
interesting details oil the adventures Of the
rescued crew Of the Polaris. Budington
and Schuman tell the story Of Halls
death as follows: Schumann, lat engineer,
says that after their return from the
Northern sledge journey, on coming into
the CABIN, the Captain turned sick, and af.
ter lying down, vomited great deal. He
would not taste any thing at first, but af-
forwards asked for cup OF tea. He got
the tea, but he had no sooner partaken
Of 1t than vomiting returned more violent.
ly than before. About six hours after.
wards he took delirium, and continued in
this condition three days On recovering
his senses, however, he grew better, and
got up and wrote up his journal. He also
attended to his other duties as II he had
been In his usual health, but he never
went out. In about ten days he was again
seized, and got worse and worse, until the
night OF the 9Th, when he became calm.
Seeing DR.. Bessel near he calld him, and

the. kindness you have shown me, Doc

lapsed, and In the morning he was dead.

Captain Buddington gives bret &C.
count oi Captain Halls death. He says:

Captain Hall was taken seriously Ill, and
Dr. sBessels said his disease was appoplexy.
Fortwo weeks he continued in bad health,
but tnow and again he would rally and ap.
pear well and then relapse suddenly. On
the morning OF the 9Th he died, and on
on the 10Th we buried him about hall

We were now in o peculiar and embar.

consequence Of some little differences
which had occurred before Captain Halls
death, as well as from the novel position
in which we now. found ourselves. the
harmony which had previously prevailed
was more than once seriously broken.
On the 18Th Of November Dr.. Bessels

BRAIN WoRK.-It will appear, then,
that brain work, even hard brain work,
does not necessarily conduce to disease.
II, in any given case, 1t Is productive Of
ibis result, 1t will invariably be found, on
investigation, that the work has been
lcue under injurious emotional condi-
lions, such as the distractions arising from
anxiety, hurry, or the pressing sense Of
responsibility. OF all the organs Of the
body, the brain Is the hardest, the
most capable of exceeding It's ordinary
duties with impunlty. Any extraordinary
eIestlons thrown on the other organs Is
sooner or later emphatically resented.
The quality ol the brain which Is most
conservative Of It's health Is It's versatile
~, One part OF the organ may be fresh
while another Is jaded, and Il has the
power oi resting in parts that are ex-
haustcd while 1t continues active In those
parts that are still vigorous. One Of the
secrets Of safe continued brain work 10 10
vary frequently the kind Of mental occu-
patton. This Is species Of mental gym.
nas,ics by which all parts Of the organ Of
thought are exercised in turn. Even in
many cases OF cerebral exhaustion, change

plete cessation from mental toll. The
mind cannot lie long iallow without
bringing forth weeds. Through want Of
employment 1t becomes relaxed in tone,

New YORK, Sept S0.-District Attor-
ney sullivan has given al opinion upon
the rights of brokers and bankers at the

bitrary closing of the Exchange involved
an entire sbrogation OF the ordinary
powers OF the Exchange over contracts
not closed prior to the suspension Of bust.

the consent Of all parties concerned, at.
