Can 1t be that tho prominent business
men and capitalists who met at the house OF Mr..
WILLIAM Il. DODGE last week. for the purpose
OF taking some action tow rd restoring tho
country to confidence ~Jd healthy state OF
trade, have been driven from their purpose by
little badinage from newspapers that have shown
determined purpose to uphold the counting in
OF HAYES at all h zards2 The echoes Of the in
itial meeting from all parts OF the country show
that properly organized plan Of action by our
leading business men would exert a tremendous
power at this time, when II is most needed.

Heretofore we have made comments
upon Senator WRIGHT Of Iowa the reverse Of
complimentary. Whether good can come out
Of Nazareth is not OF investigation. That he
has indicated a spirit OF fairness in the PROPOSE

In his late politics, II he has desire to signal1e

him for course which half redeens him from
earlier criticism. In saying this, we are not to
be committed to any support OF his proposed

we can only give plaudit 20 every Sena-

Mr.. JAMES 7. FIELDS is featuring here on
famous literary people whom he has met. lie
has met good many, for he was the publisher Of
the works OF host Of writer's but la IT not doubt
ful whether men OF genius, like those about
whom Mr.. FIELDS talks In his gosslping way,
would exhibit themselves to their publisher so
unrcservedly as TO enable him to accurately
fathom their characters. methods, and purposes2
A writer's relations to his publisher are chiefly
business ones. What he wishes OF the manu-
facturer OF his books Is that he shall sell as many
OF them possible and pay him promptly what
he agrees to pay. II IL undoubtedly true, how
ever, that II the great authors failed su1ce ntly
to prize Mr.. FIELDs's high converse on litera-
ture. viewed from the side Of the publisher. hc
did not fail to prize his acoualntanceshlp with
them. He distinctly remembers all they said to
him and what he said to them but how accu-
rate have been their memories Of the interviews
we are not Informed. still, MIR. FIELDS does
fairly as an American BOSWELL.

" Pole Impracticable.

THEY have not reached the pole, but
we venture to think they have done quite
sufficient if they have really established
the fact intimated in the two words
Pole impracticable." 1t is, of course,
to be regretted that anything should be
lmpracticable; but, grieved as we are at
the accomplishment of our prediction,
we feel bound to recall that this was
fact we presumed, Notwithstanding much
professional indignation, TO anticipate.
We had the gravest doubts whether it
was even worth while to fit out two fine
ships at great expense, and, still more,
to imperil the lives of some of our best
seamen, in order to make certain what
there was every reason to believe-that
the pole was impracticable. People
talked so much about the pole that they
came to think themselves quite injured
in being unable to reach it. They forgot
that there are some things which, how
ever much to be desired, are unattains-
BILE, and some places of great interest
undoubtedly inaccessible. The center
of the earth and the surface of the moon
would, no doubt, be very curious places
to visit, and might yield very valuable
scientific results; but we acquiesce in the
impossibility of either driving tunnel
to the one place or sending balloon to
the other. There is nothing, in reality,
surprising in Capt. Mares announce
ment: "Pole impracticable." However,
enough has been done to justi-
fly very hearty congratulations at
the degree of success achieved. A
higher degree of latitude has been at
tanned than has hitherto been reached.
The gallant Austrian expedition Of
1874 reached 80 deg. of north latitude,
and sighted S3 deg, But the present ex
peditiOn actually wintered in 80 deg 81
min, or all but S3 deg, and the sledg-
ing parties reached further latitude of
88 deg. 90 min. They were thus within
400 miles of the pole, and it was hoped
that if such point as this were ever
reached it would be possible, by labori-
Gus sledging, to get to the pole and back
within three months.-LOndOa Times.

LEON MATURINs CHRISTMAS EVE.

The snow was falling thickly and
steadily, and the evening shadows were
gathering so closely around the house
that Leon and Annette were glad to turn
from the window where they had been
for the last half hour, and nestle down
together in one corner of the big fire.
place. There was no lamp or candle in
the Ipom, but the large fire of peat and
brushwood sent forth a ruddy glow,
which frightened everything Immediately
around it, while an occasional leaping
flame would suddenly bring into view
some more distant object, and send the
shadows chasing each other into the
farthest corner of the low kitchen.
The pot was boiling over the fire, and
Mere Maturin was walking backward and
forward preparing supper.
See, Leon, whispered Annette, chow
funny grandma's cap looks on the wall!
When she goes over to the cupboard it
is quite small, and when she comes
nearer here it grows up, up, half way
over the ceiling. Look, there it is now,
just like one of Maitre Caussin's hay
mows in July!"
Yes, and see the spinning. wheel
change and turn as if the fairies were
spinning on it,"
Do they ever, LeonS Perhaps they
are doing it now. Oh, if we could see
themm
You little silly" replied her brother
Who ever saw fairies Christmas EveP
If it were midsummer now! st. Johns
Eve is the time for them. See here,
Annette, if you are very good from
now till St. Johns Eve-if you do
everything / want you to--if, it," said
Leon, wishing to make as good bargain
as possible" if you always drive Blan-
chette home from pasture when / want
to play with George, If you will always
get grandmother the crosses when
don't want TO go to the brook for them,
| will show you the fairies on that night;
that is" added the boy, thinking, per-
haps, he had better not promise too
much, 81 will let you go with me to the
big stones in the middle of the wood
yonder, just at midnight, and there
Maitre Caussin's Joseph told me so--you
will be sure to see them"
80 Leon, l will do anything for you
If you will but let me see theml But it
is so long to wait; perhaps grandmamma
knows If one can see them any other
timo. Grandmother" raising her voice,
"do the fairies ever come Christmas
Eve, and do they ever turn spinning
wheels to help people,"
Nay, child, who ever heard of fairies
them" said Mere Maturin; and if they
did take the trouble to turn spinning
wheels 1t would not be for idle folks like
youl Come and put the dishes on the
table, for the pot ia boiling, and IL is
time we had supper"
Annette speedily obeyed, and there
was no more talk of fairies for an hour.
After that, the dishes being all washed
and put away, and grandmother seated

Fruit trees often perish in winter
from lack of moisture in the soil, more
frequently, perhaps, than from any
other cause, consequent upon porous
soil, after an autumn of comparative
dryness as that just past. Winter
drought may be obviated by thorough
mulching now with long manure.
During the molting period the blood
is drawn from for the materials which
compose the feathers, and this drain is
often so great as to weaken the fowl; the
remedy is to give as feed elements which
will most quickly replace the exhausted
blood. Fish refuse, ground bone and
powdered oyster-shells are recommended
for feed, and for drink, water supplied
with rusty iron; also a little milk each
day is good for them. In place of rusty
iron tincture of iron can be put in their
drinking water; a tablespoonful of tinct.
ure to quart of water is the rule.

TIE PRODIGAL.

Inheritors of vast wealth are proverbially
spendthrifts. The golden ore Is dug from
the mine, refined and coined by the labor Of
other hands and the sweat Of other brows.
Like children playing with an expensive toy,
they can form no just estimate Of It's value.
When the donor weighed it, he cast into the
balance so many days Of unrcmttipg and IA
uguing toll, 20 many anxious and sleepless
nights, so much self-denial aud SO much care.
But the inheriiOr into his balance throws only
pleasure. The one values II by what 1t cost
him; the other, for what II will purchase.
Like the prodigal in the Scripture parable,
he thoughtlessly eEpends 1t to crafty the
caprice and cravings OF his nature. Then
comes the last scene-the misery, the re-
morse, and the long and wcarsome journey
back to the home Of frugal industry. But
there are other prodigals. On her favorites
our bounteous parent, Nature, has layished
her richest trcasure-health. But the prodi-
gal values it lightly, for it cost him naught,
and recklessly squanders 1t in riotous living
Present pleasure obscures future want. Soon
the curtain rises on the last scene. We see
him helpless, impoverished = the rich
treasures OF body and mind all lost-in mis-
cry and despair. Remorseful Conscience
holds up to him the mirror OF memory. In
his own reckless folly he perceives the cause
of his present pain. He resolves to return.
The journey is long and tedious, but II he
perseveringly follows the right road, he will
at length see the haven of his hopes in the
distance, and Nature, seeing her invalid
child afar off, will come out TO meet him,
and receive him back with love and blessing.
To find the right road homeward, the suffer-
ing protigal should read "The Peoples

all indicated and It's milestones all num-
bered. Read 1t. Price $3.50 postage pre-
