tory hands, and people who labor for a
living, find it very difficult if not impos-
rible to keep the hands free from stain.
Hand Sapolio will not only remove eve
ry particle of stain, and what is called
GRAINED in dirt, /" but it will also keep
the skin soft and pliable, rendering the
muscular action as quick and easy as is
the case with those who do not perform
hand labor. 1t is only 10 and Is cents a

ic should use it constantly in place of all
other SOAPS.

From Washington

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.
A UNITED STATES REVENUE COLLECTOR
IN CUSTODY.
The Commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue. received a telegram from Deputy
Commissioner Sweet, at Springfield,
ILL.,, stating that he has arrested Depu-
ty Collector Smith, and had warrants
issued for several others Ola the charge
of being Implicated in frauds with Col
lector Harper.
CONCERNING THE PoLA.gIs.
The Secretary of the Nav received
the following dispatch to-day
~. S. STEAMSHIP JUNL ATA,)
ST.. JOINS, n. e.,
Sept 10
Hon. George NJ Robson = The
Juniata arrived here to-day She met
the Tigress at Uppernavits and called
her. She sailed August nth for little
ton Island. The Tigress met the Juni-
atlas steam launch off Tessuissak. lieut..
belong had been to Cape Yock il the
launch. AT Disco we met the Tic re IS
again, and called her the 18th of August.
Commander Greer reports that the
Camp of the Polaris, was found AugT lst
18th, of Lilleton Island latitude rs de
grees % minutes in longitude 70 Gle
grees as minutes w. The crew of the
Polaris were all well. Had gone sout b
two months before in two boats mad e
from the ships. The Polaris sank one,
month after. They kept careful look
out; going north and coming south
There were no signs they stayed at all
the settlements for the news The crew
of the Polaris is probably on board of the
whaler from Cape York;
The Tigress left Disco August 25, for
the Labrador coast, to continue the
search so long as coal and the season
permits.
d. Ii. Braine, commander of the Unit
ed States navy at Littleton Island, re-
ferred to in the above dispatch, is about
sixty miles north of Northumberland Is
land, where party rescued from the
Polaris supposed they had left her. 1t
Is little south of the Life Boat depot, of
DR.. Kane in 1853. The probability is
that the Tyson party were mistaken as
to the locality of their separation form
the Polaris, and that it was really Lit
Teton Island instead of Northumberland
Island. 1t is hardly possible that after
separation, the Polaris in her disabled
condition succeeded in any way in reach
point sixty miles further north
1t is understood that orders were sent
to Commander Braine to continue the
search for the crew of the PoIaris. i

A curious Superstition,

Some of the Canadian people have Il
superstition that if, while upon the
road, a rabbit crosses the path before
them it is sign of bad luck. A crowd
of girls and boys were on their way to a
country school, when hare, frightened
from his burrow, ran across the road in
front Of the party. The girls instantly,
and with one accord, turned quickly
around three times on their heels,
pulled off their sun-bonnets, spat in
them, turned them inside out, and,
placing them again on their heads, wore
them thus to school, congratulating
themselves on the way that by these
very essential maneuvres they had
averted some species OF bad luck that
was about to befall them. The boys
likewise turned on their heels and spat
in their hats. One of the boys who had
never before witnessed such a silly pro
ceeding, was very much amused and
laughed heartily at his companions.
The girls looked upon him with an ex.
preston of holy horror, and with
clasped and wringing hands implored
him to follow their example. This he
refused to do, and they set upon him
with violence, pulled his hat from his
head, and made him spit in it.

Notwithstanding the glut in the pc
troleum market, and the fact that the
daily production of oil is greatly in ex-
cess of the present demand, operators
in the oil regions are boring as indus
triously as ever, and are now greatly
elated over the discovery Of oil in what
is called the fourth sand rock ; the de-
posits drawn upon previously being in
the second and third sand rocks, main
ly the latter. The discovery was mao
by man named Stewart, who had pur-
chased an abandoned well for 81, 900
One day the idea struck him that there
was first, and second, and a third sand
rock, there might be fourth and that
if so, the fourth might yield oil as well
as the third. So he went to work drill
ling, and in eight weeks struck oil in
the fourth sand, converting a dry hole
into flowing well, which yields about
four hundred barrels per day. This
encouraged some of his neighbors to
try similar experiment, the result of
which was that another dry we'll was
sent down to the fourth sand, and be.
came flowing well yielding seven hun
bred barrels per day. This confirms
the theory, which has been generally
secuted, that there is fourth stratum
of sand rock which is prolific in oil.
The consequence will be the deepening
of many old wells which have been con-
sidered exhausted.
