with dredges. ietties and STRINGS, the Con-
grees of the United States can be staggered
by the proposition OF any man, and espe-
cially one who has never given the subject

testing this purely theoretical scheme.
There is no sum of money cOmputable to
repay the damages to Western commerce
and national wealth in case of the failure
of this individual experiment.
We forbear to dwell upon the minor
proposition of Captain Eads. to be paid
s200O,00O upon attaining a channel of
twenty feet-a depth already attained
as an extreme of both the narrowing method
of 1852 and the stirring method OF 1868 "A.
Still, it is too obvious tnat If the experience

could collect their $4,000 coo and retire

We conclude by merely adding what
should be stated in the engineering consid

force. and must 40 continue till a half or a

individual guarantee, is wholly wanting in

| Young friends, remember this as you now gc
| forth to protect yourself and bless your race
| Tho evils of society be removed only by
the spread of knowledge and culture of virtue
let 1t be your supreme ambition 20 make indi.
| vidual men nobler. All railroads, aud steam.
| ships, and telegraphs, only hasten the ruin OF
nation unless its citizens are virtuous. Those
| who ride, not the conveyance; what the mes
sage is, not the wire; these are of supreme
| Importance. knowledge alone is indeed pow
erfu1, 80 is steam and both, without wise
| engineer, are ruin to their possessor Wealth
is power, but power to destroy as we'll as build.
" Ill fares the land to Fastening ills n prev
Where wealth accumulates and men decay"
Remember that the evils of condition are
like morning shadows, which are continually
shortening and vanishing till the meridian
| light encompasses all things. The evils Of
character are as the shadows at the close of
day, which are leDgthening and deepening
hour by honr into the gloom of midnight
Therefore give all the vigor of your mature
strength, all the enthusiasm of your aspiring
soul to the subsection and eradication of intel
lectual and moral evils the culture aud per-
lection OF virtue. Think no achievement in
engineering, or oratory, or literature, dis
covery worthy of your admiration and salts
aid men to attain perfection.
Build yourselves into every work; and be
yourself such that the work will be an inspira-
ton and joy to every beholder. Whether you
build an arch or an epic, whether you hold the
pen or the plough, whether you hang bridges
over rivers or erect domes or cathedrals, wheth-
CT you Uuuuel mountains, or DuIlu reservoirs to
drive mills or refresh cities, SO do it, that solid
integrity shall be builded into every part, and
skill appear in every portion, and refined taste
cover it all over as the vine covers the trells.
Thus the power and worth of character will
be revealed. and the world will be ashamed of
the hypocrites, and charlatans, and shams
which dshonor human nature and curse the
race.
Subsidize all knowledge to eElighten ignor-
auce, to elevate the debased, to rescue the VII
cious, to save the State, ." For in the name of
the living God, Say to you, young friends,
that Righteousness shall be the liberty; and
violence and chicanery shall be the law and
superstition and craft shall be the religion :"
and debasement and ruin shall be the end of
that people whose trust is in it's power, and not
in its principles; whose reliance is on its num-
Der, and not on its virtues; whose gold, and
silver, and commerce are it's pride and boast
and not the integrity and intelligence of it's
citizens; while the nation whose people are
intelligent and Virtuous, reverencing God
honoring man, shall prosper and endure and
increase in prosperity and permsnence while
the sun shines and the rivers run.

penhagen Government has directed its repre-
sentative at Berlin to ask for an explanation
In the event of persistence on the part OF
Prussia, Denmark. it is thought. will proceed
to retalate by expelling Germans from the
Danish provinces, and then the ball will com
mence and the band will begin to play. 1t Is
coggested in the English press that Russia and
England will take the part of the Danes
against Prussia, which will allow France with
her grievances to come in and recapture Alsace
and Lorraine and her traditions of the Rhine
1t is really curious how so small a matter as
the possession of petty province should en-
danger the peace of nearly all Europe, bat it IS
on the cards. If it does occur, some family re-
iationships win be badly smashed up for a
short time. England is allied to Russia and
Prussia by the closest personal ties Of the
reigning royal families, and the refuge afford
ed to the man of Sedan, his widow and their
son, the future Emperor, will not make France
much of an enemy to England. If it comes to
a scramble among the great powers, it would
seem that Prussia must be lett saope with Aus
tria, and that Prussas difficulty will be
Frances opportunity.

GossIP.-We condemn gossip-scandal's
twin sisters-yet it is q fault easily COM
mitted. We begin by a gentle deprecatory
and we find ourselves specifying particu-
lar time and scene, which straightway the
one who hears tells again to some one else
with additions, slight, perhaps. but ma.
terial. Before we know it we have stirred
up hornets nest. This may be done
without any more potent motive than mere
love of fun aud half the gossip in the So
cial world is of the unthinking kind in
dulged in merely from spirit of drollery.
Far worst is that other sort of talk which
ends in SANDER and begins in malice, and
which separates friends and sunders the
ties of years of intercourse with it's sharp
and Earring discords. The only way to
avoid this evil is to refrain from making
the affairs of our friends a staple article of
conversation in the household. There are
plenty of subjects at hand-let us avoid
pers onalities.

were very aimilar, were received in 1856,
| after their long ice and boat travel of q
Thousand miles of over eighty days, after
abandoning their vessel in Smith Sound.
This discovery oEland gives a new phase
to Arctic exploration. The American
Arctic explorer, DR.. Hayes, predicted land
here some years ago, and has never been in
favor of the route between Spitzbergen and
| Nova Zembla. In this he has been sup
ported by Chief Justice DAILY, President Of
the American Geographical Society. These
| gentlemen have constantly advocated
| Smith Sound as the most available route
And, indeed, this route has come to be
| known as the American ronte. First ex-
pioIed by DR.. Kane in 1853 54, it was still
further developed by DR.. Hayes in 1860 81 i,
and from that time to this the latter ex
plorer has continually asserted that stout
| steamer could. in August of any year, push
through to the open sea, which he believes
in, and then to the Pole. These views
were in some measure strengthened by the
succe of Capt. Hall, who, without any
in sailing through the East River, steamed
to latitude eigthty-two degrees sixteen
minutes-nearer the Pole than any other
vessel bias ever gone. DIR. Hayes thinks
Captain Hall was in the open sea, which
he only reached with dog sledges in the
the ice, after the fashion of the Esquimaux.
Hayes called his highest point of land. in
latitude eighty-two degrees forty. five
minutes, Cape Union. Capt. Hall sighted
land some distance beyond this, and be-
You'd eighty three degrees, SO that Ameri-
cans have still seen land nearer the North
Pole than this last of the Arctic expeditions
of the AustriaDs. The question is practi-
cally now narrowed down to choice be-
tween Smith Sound and Behring's Strait,
above which a large body of land has also
been discovered. The English, convinced
of the advantages of the former by the
American successes, are now making
strenuous efforts to induce their govern
ment to fit out an expedition by way of
Smith Sound. This 10 very likely to be
done next spring; but, meanwhile, will not
America stir in the interest of geography |
and national renownF Let us have an |
American expedition to Smith Sound, and |
let DR.. Hayes or some competent naval |
officer have charge of it. The former has |
been there twice, and is the discoverer of
Grinnetl Land, and it is well known that |
lack of funds only has prevented him for
years past from making third trial. Some
nation will ere long plant it's flag at the
North Pole, and why not the Stars and
Stripes !? To be sure, it would not be an
achievement of much utility, except in
purely scientific point of view; but the
nation would DO justly proud of the
achievement, an emotion which ia some !
times better than too much clarifying of
national wealth and prosperity. 1t is well |
to have gallant deeds sometimes done to
remind us that manly heroism and personal |
sacrifice fora principle or cause has not !
died out since there was knight without |
fear and without reproach, and Sidney |
passed the cup of water to the other
wounded soldier.
