The recent news of Prof. NoRDEN-
sKIoLDs successful voyage by northeast
passage around the continent OF Europe to the
Yenissei river in Siberia has been invested with
more importance than can possibly attach TO II
from commercial point Of view. Three for
mer attempts have been made to pass through
the straits OF waieatch, which separate Nova
Zembla from the mainland Of siberis, but IN all
former seasons they have been closed, as the
experiences Of Messrs. LEIGH SMITH, wIGGTNs,
and LAMONT can testify. Last year seems to
have been an exceptionally open season, and
Prof NoRDESsRIoLD has been so fortunate as
TO take advantage Of II; but we doubt whether
a route which Is liable two years 10 three to be
blocked with an impenetrabe ice barrier, Is
ever likely to be valuable commercial high
way, even for the products Of Siberia. That
those Of China or japan will never md their
way To Europe by way Of the Yenissei and
waigatch strait, may safely he predicted.

We dare say some Of our fellow citizens
will withhold their votes from Mr.. CALVIN

cedents of his; while perhaps there are
others who may be disposed to support
him because he has been "a Know-Nothing
or n Maine-law man.
But without regard to these old matters,
there is one living reason why every honest
voter should be against CALVIN, and that
Is the fact that he Is the author OF the in
famous STARIN award. The man who
joined in such an attempt to plumber the
treasury of this city Of nearly four hun
drcd thousand dollars ought not to be

District Camp Meeting.

The District Camp Meeting so far shows a
smaller attendance than on previous years, not
more than five hundred people being on the
grounds. But more tents have been pitched
than ever before, and there is a prospect of
largerlattendance than usual The temperance
meeting of last week naturally tends to di in
ish the number of visitors and the cold weather
of the last few days detsrs many persons from
camping.
Yesterday morning the services began with
sermon by the Rev. Joseph Foster of Ken
nebunk, who preached from Sam. I, 2 and 3.
GOD is a God of knowledge; by Him our ac-
lions are weighed" The sermon was a doc
trinal effort, strong in thought and vivid in ex-
preston. AT its conclusion service of prayer
was held as usual in the tents. The afternoon
sermon was delivered by the Rev. j. II. Trask
of York, from the text: "Who is ready this
day to consecrate his service to God?" The eff
fort was an elaboration of the doctrnal tenet
of specification, and the speaker gave lum-
nous exposition of the subject.
