Credit MObiiier Men.

Oakes Amos, whose recent deatl
has been recorded, was the central
figure Of the great Credit Mobilier
muddle. He was a man Of more than
ordinary intelligence, great business
tact and and iron nerve. With his
brothers he succeeded TO the business
Of his father, the manufacture oI
shovels, the works being the most
extensive in the world. His educa.
tion was limited to a common school
course, but his natural endowments
coupled with great energy Of charac.
ter, carried him upward and onward
and made him marked man in his
own State and beyond. In addition
to his manufacturing business he was
largely interested in railroads. He
was member of the Executive
Council Of Massachusetts, in 1860
aud 1861, and was elected to the
thirty-eighth, thirty-ninth. fortieth,
forty-iirst and forty. second Congress
es, his service closing with the late
session.
Few men Of his age could have
passed the ordeal Of the Credit Mo.
bilier examination and the subse.
quent consure Of tho House, with the
nerve displayed by Mr.. Ames. The
strain, however, was too great for
even his iron constitution. With
Mr.. James Brooks, another Of the
implicated, he has now passed TO the
land OF silence and quietude. The
leading men Of the country are fall.
ing out OF their places rapidly and
suddenly. We are living in an age
when intesity of brain activity is pro
ducing its sad harvests.--Harris.

A special despatch to the N. Y.
Herald from Bay Roberts, via st.
Johns, New Foundland. tells Of the
arrival at the first named port of the
steamer Tigress, having on board a
portion of tho crew of the Polaris-
the vessel sent out by the United
States Government on ON exploring
expedition in the Artic regions
which were rescued from an Iceburg
ON the 3Oth Of April The story told
by the rescued men is TO the effect
that, after the death of Captain Hall,
in October last, the Polalis continued
on her career northward until the
10Th OF October. when, the ship be-
ing in a leaking condition, it was
deemed advisable to effect landing
upon an ice foe.
To this end, on the date above
stated, in latitude seventy seven de-
grees. thirty-five minutes, q party
numbering some nineteen souls left
the ship to put provisions upon the
ice. A gale came on: the Polaris
parted from her moorings, and the
men on the ice, to their dismsy saw,
the ship steaming away, unable to
give them the slightest assistance.
The ice at that time had fortunately
a southerlv set, and the tide and wind
drove the iceberg with its living car.
go down through Bafiiin's Bav and
Davis Straits, until on the 30th of
April OF the present year, after one
hundred and ninety-six days on the
ice, they were taken off by the steam
or Tigress, in latitude fifty.three de-
grees, thirty minutes, near the coast
OF Labrador. Thus it Is that the yet
unfinished story of the Polaris comes
to the world.
DR. Hayes, the well know Artic
explorer, also expresses the opinion
that the Polaris was unfit for service,
and there was no discipline on board
her, but that Captain Hall has prov
cd that Smiths Sound is navigablo
and is the true passage to the Polar
oea, which he seems to have reached,
though driven back by drifting ice
fields or gales of wind. DIR. Hayes
cannot understand why the ship
when so near Northumberland Island. |
should have been drawn mp on the
ice and discharged cargo on il. He
thinks there was dissension ON board. |
and that it looks as though the party
cut of from the ship had been deter.
mined to leave her, but Captain Hall
has done a glorious thing. Ho has
gone further north with q shin than
any human being ever before, al |
though others have gone as far on
sledges, and the Polaris was 2lO miles
north further than Kane's ship. DIR.
Hayes says It almost looks as II Hail
was Killed by one of his men in q
mutiny, tor be never knew Of anyl
one dying " that region from apo-
plexy, and Hall did not look like an
apoplectic man. DR.. Hayes believes
that the rest Of tie crew are alive.
and that the Polaris will return here

CULTvATiNG 4 Pure EypEEssIoS.-
Every word that falls from the lips
Of mothers and sisters especially
should be pure, and concise, and
simple; not pearls. such as falls
from the lips OF the princess, but
sweet, good words, that little chill
dren can gather without fears of
soil. OF after shame OF blame, OF
any regrets to pain through al
Their life.
Children should be taught the
frequent Use OF good, Strong, cx,
pressive words words that mean
exactly what they should express in
their proper places.
If d child, or young person, has {,
loose hung-together way Of string.
ing words when endearoring to
say something, he should be made
to try again and sec if he cannot
do better
1t is painful to listen to manv
girls talk. They begin with Ny

"o:.s!! and 'sakcs alive" and SO
S;rect.' and so queenly, and SC
m4ny silly phrases that one !,
tempted to believe they have hal
nc training at all, OF else thcir
mothers were very foolish women,
There is nothing more disgusting
than the twaddle of ill-brcd girls !;
one is provoked often into taking
mp a paper and reading. and letting
them ripple and gurg!o on, like
brooks that flow they know lot
whittier.
My heart warns with love Tor
sensible girls and pure boys; and:
after all, if our girls and boys are
not this, I fear it is own fault
that this great trust rests III the
heart and hands Of the women OF our
land. If We have a noble, 1scf.1l
purpose in life, we will infuse the
right spirit into those around us.
