A POIaris Council,

Morton speaks of consultation be-
 tween Hall and the officers of the
 Polaris, held about the beginning of
 September, 1871, with regard to their
 mode of procedure. The.question was,
 Shall we go north or seek harborage
 here, if the turn of the season is now
 taking place? At this consultation
 there were present Buddington, Ches-
 ter, Tyson, the Doctor and Morton.
 The ice was beginning to come down in our channel in dense packs, but there were still two channels or leads along each of the shores. Hall asked the Doctor for his opinion frst-asking him first, as Morton naively says, be- cause he was probably the least capable ot giving an opinion, being landsman. The Doctors opinion was to go to the west channel, where there was still some water, and to go north yet as far as possible. l was asked next, says Morton, and concurred with the Doc tor, saying we had better push as far north as possible to prosecute the ob- lect of our expedition but, in the to look out for good winter quarters in case we should be beset. Not to go back on any account, because "up there " every mile is mile. Ty- son followed, and said, "Look out for winter quarters-for a harbor immedi- ately." Chester said, "Go ahead so long as you can make 8 mile." Bud aiugton said, Get into winter quar- ters, |" "and," adds Morton, '' 1 think showed the white feather here. We should have gone on."

A Curious Superstition.

Some of the Canadian people have a superstition that if, while upon the road, rabbit crosses the path before them it is a 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 n-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 silly pro- ceeding, was very much amused and laughed heartily at his companions. The girls looked upon him with an ex- pression 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.

Are We Degenerating?

A few years ago, at the Eglinton
 tournament in England, it appeared that the famous knights of three and
 four centuries ago must have been smaller even than the Englishmen of to-day, for it was impossible to put on their armor. And now come vital sta tistics to prove that we are more hardy and longer-ived than our fathers. The statistics kept at Geneva since 156O show that the average term of life has
 been steadily lengthening. At that time the average was only p years it IS now 40. In the 14th century the average mortality in Paris was one in 16; the rate has been reduced in our day to one in 32. In England, less than two centuries ago, the mortality was one in 33; now one in 42. The laws of life are better understood; the con- forss of life more widely distributed, and habits of living improved. Even consumption, the fatal malady of our New England climate, is yielding slow ly to wiser method of treatment, and the annual percentage of deaths is than 50 years ago. If, by sound system of diet or exercise the constitu- tion of New England girls could take on higher vitality and vigor, the out look for the future would be hopeful.

At Sixty.

A former Attorney General of Mas sachusctts, James Sullivan, was once an able lawyer, and hearty, dignifed gentleman of the old school. To 8 friend who was complaining at the age of sixty that he felt ones days must be few, and the capacity for usefulness well-nigh exhausted, MT. Sullivan felici- tously replied: "You mistake there. At sixty man in fair health may enter upon series of years equal in useful ness and happiness to those of any period, provided proper precautions al @ taken and proper habits formed. Elm ployment without labor, exercise with wearlness, and temperance without ab- stinence are the rules of life for man of threescore years" The advice probably contains as sound sense as could easily be competed in the same number of words.

The English.African War.

| It is evident that the British expedi- t1on to the Gold Coast has a very seri-
 ous task before 1t. Thus far it has met
 with one disaster after another. The
 Ashantees are no contemptible antag-
 onlsts, oven for we'll equipped Euro
 pean force. They have long ranked
 among the most powerful of all the
 African nations. They are capable, it
 IS said, of bringing into the field an
 army of 100000 men. Their troops
 have been drilled by Dutch adventurers
 and Yankee merchantmen, the latter
 having supplied them with arms and
 ammunition. Recent occurrences also
 have made it plain that in a contest
 with the British they will have the ac-
 tive or passive assistance of all the
 tribes along that part of the coast-at
 least until they have been beaten in
 some signal engagement. The affair on
 the Prah, in which every man save one l1 Commodore Commercials boat ex- petition was more or less seriously hurt, and the distinguished commander himself was dangerously wounded, has
 borne it's natural fruit. The affray has become general, and second disaster, similar in character to the first. las az. gravated the dangers of the situation.
 ''We are probably in for serious war" says the PaU MaX Gazette, "and a war which we shall have to carry on single handed, without any material assistance from native allies. This means that we must substitute much more formid- able number for the handful of British troops with which the war was to have been carried on. We must have plenty of men, and, what is more, have plenty of Engllshmen-on the Gold Coast if we arc to win this bout"
 The military force now on the way to Africa, under the command of Sir Gar net Wolseley, will doubtless be strong enough for the service likely to be re- qNired of it; but it will not have an easy march to the Ashantee capital. The natives are adopts at bush fight ing; the country gives them every ad- vantage; and they can seriously embar- rass the progress of an invading army, however formidable. Their object is | evidently to detain the English near the coast until the rainy season sets in. For thls purpose they have been careful to | carry hostilities far and wide into the protected coast territories of the Fan tees, which the British General must | leave Tn his rear when he moves towards L Coomassie and as the Fantees will | oin the side of which they are most in fear, it becomes grave question how this difficulty of the campaign is to be met. Delays will be the Ashantees' best defense. In 8 few months the swamps and jungles will reek with pes tlience, and fever, ague, and dysentery will do more execution in the European ranks than gunpowder.

Medicines and WhOoping Cough.

Dr. Arnold, of Maryland, discussed recently, at meeting of the Medical Association, the question of whooping cough, in the following strain: "I am more and more impressed with the little reliability of therapeutic remedies in this disease. We have so many medi- cines presented for our acceptance ]; some based upon certain pathological theories; some upon no theory at all, and others upon delusion. In my own family this disease prevailed I did nothing for it and it got well in six weeks. If had used medicines would have thought that I cured it. We know nothing of its cause; there is great di- versity in regard to its pathology, and no unanimity of treatment. Mary popular remedies are in use, but in bad cases no remedy is of any great benefit. "

His Will.

An old farmer, dictating his will to a lawyer, said: "I give and bequeath to my wife the sum of 910O year. Is that writ down, master ?" "Yes," said the lawyer but she is not so old but that she may marry again. Won't ou make any change in that case? Most people do." "Ah, do they? We'll. write again, and say if my wife mar y again, I give and bequeath to her the sum of e2OO @ year. Thatll do, won't it ]" "Why, that's just double the sum that she would have had if she had re- mained unmarried," said the lawyer; |" it is generally the other way" "Aye,' said the farmer, "but him that takes her will deserve it!''

SHE Cor OFF.-Says the Perry coun- ty (Pa.) Democrat of recent date: A young girl took passage on a train from MilIerstown to go to Newport. When approaching the latter place she was seen to leave her seat, go out on the platform, and before she could be pre- vented leaped therefrom. The train was moving at about ten miles an hour, and of course those who saw her jump expected to find her 8 mangled corpse; but to the surprise of all, when the em- ployes of the road ran back to where she was lying, they found her able to get up, having, escaped with some severe bruises. She alleged that she had never been in the cars before and that lady had told her. that this was the place to get off. Without waiting for the train to stop she had followed the direction of the lady passenger.

OctNher.


 The month of September is golden, But the month et tbe naples is red; The elm tree is yellow and slden, It's leaves are half gone from it's head. We ride in the heart of the forest,- The ichens are grown on each trunk; lied beech leaves are bruised to the sorest, And into wood hollows are sunk, We scent the musk breath of October, The fragrance of soft woodland smells: The green of the niosses is sober, The rainhew tints pale in the dells. The spiders thin gossamer weayings Seem like cotton fields against the blue sky Their webs are forever deceiving,, And cheat our eyes as well as the flies.
