THE ARTIC EXPEDITION.
From the British Moil.)

The ssfe return of Captain Mares and
his brave companions is o matter for public
congfatulatio1, although they have not

problem, Pole impracticable; :" such
Is the verdict o! those who have certainly
spared no effort to see with their own
eyes that mythical lake which some
theorists believe to exist at the extreme
north of tho world. 1t now appears pretty
certain that if such a sea has q real
existence 1t can be nothing more nor less
than Q c0ngories of immense icebergs,

rms, at all events, was the aspect in which
the more distant Polar regions presented
themselves to Captain Mares and bis party,
and we see no reason to believe that mat
ters would have improved had the alven-
turers advanced farther. 1t lie true that
only 400 miles interviewed between them

compass Enormous blocks of ice piled
upon one another ; q temperature which on
one occasion fell to I04 degrees below freez-
ing point, and for nearly five monthS no ap-
pearanco Of the sun! SO arduous did the
difficulties OF She road become at last that
only ons milo q day could be accomplish

labour. Tuo public will agree that under
these circumstances Captain Mares
exercised q sound discretion 10 turning
back when he did. He had succeeded in
advancing further north than any previous
voyager, aud it would have been mere rash
ness to remain for another winter when the
experience Of the sledging parties proved
the utter inaccessibility of the Pole.

FOOD. WORK AND SLEEP,

The things that O man most needs la
this world ore food, work and slesp. He
doesn't need riches, honors or Office to live.
Lie needs society because ho Is made for il.
lie must love and be loved his life and
happiness are promoted by c~ompanionship
mutual dependence and counsel enlarge
hope and stimulate courage. Yet after oil
he lives if his friends die. There Is no
grief, no form Of bereavement, but il has
its consolation. The best preserver Of q
mans life is contentmont. Nor is work
destructive of strength. Men look forward
to rest, to O life Of ease, which to them
means cessation from toll aud from the care
OF business. They mistake the cause Of
OF WEAKNESS. 1t is not work it is care, it
is over exertion, it is ambition and desire
after gain that brings worn and weary feel
lngs. ALI we possess we possess in life,
the sooner we get through with life the
sooner we |relinquish our possessions.
There are three ends to life, and death is
the last and least desirable of them. One
end is to live. That is why we are Great
ed-tO live and as we'll as we can. Some
go murnuriug and grooming on their way
as though life was q burden, and that it ia
pioty to put o low estimate on it. The
opposite is true. A man should seek to
live out his days, and he cannot accom-
plisb it in a better way than by using every
means to promote life. Among these means
are the three things mentioned at the head
of this article. When a man denies him
self sleep, food and the exercise work gives
brain and body, he robS his life Of its full
term. Let him be cheerful also. He is
like an engine-it will run we'll and long
if it 10 we'll oiled. Contentment and cheer
fulness are the oil which keep the nerves
from wearing out. Busy men and women
think that time taken from toll for sleep
and recreation is time lost. It Is really

dic,cd. The two meetings recently
held in Virginia would illustrate the
truth of the assertion. And then the
style in which the leaders q each adj
dress gathering of people Is quite
consonant with tins conclusion.
Democrats resort to vilification and
bitter abuse; build up mountains of
apparent wrong out of molehills of
Justice; revive issues that have long
been dead and should be permitted
to rest uudistxsbeti. while Republic
cans are strictly srgumentative, using
premises that cannot be set aside.
The meeting of Saturday evening
was unprecedentedly large and cor
respendingly enthusiastic. The issues
of the campaign were set forth in
dispassionate words By able speakers,
who were frequently and heartily ap-
plauded. The demonstration rs a
whole was one calculated TO dis
hesrten Democrats, and copvics them

A WEAK GIANT.

1t is rather amusing to read the
opinions af certMa persons who pro-
tess an intimate knowledge of Gov,
Hayes. Those who are least acquaint-
ed with the Governor, and whose
OMISSIONS on any question or man are
Of the smallest possible consequence
to anybody except themselves, speak
most positively, and they think him
weak" skim milk" negative,
etc. There are great many people
who never forgive success and never
speak faithfully or kindly OF con-
,snporaries whose success in life has
been greater than their own. They
SAY of,srch, "Oh. he don't amount
to much. I knew him at school,
etc., f,.getting that some men grow
and develop, while others stand still
or rstrograde.
Gov. Hayes has steadily grown and
has made no fuss about it. Unlike
many of our prominent public men,
he puts on re airs, assumes no over
powering dignity of manner, does
not NOUN his words nor talk orscu-
larly. In brief, he does not practice
the personal arts which largely con-
stitute the reputation of many OF our
public men. He is always natural,
frank. manly and straightforward
and has u quiet, personal dignity
that checks undue familiarity. He Is
respectful, attentive and courteous,
and also self.rcspectful. There is
not any public man in the country
who is more truly genuine repre-
sentative of Republican simplicity
and Republican dignity.
Gov. Hayes has never sought Office
never used any arts to promote his
personal advancement. He has filled |
many public civil ofhces-Ci'y Solicit
tor, member of Congress, Governor
of Ohio thrice-and in all and each |
che has acquitted himself admirably,
He has been equal to the office and

yrsss;onal district. After his cleo
ton to Congress he wrote from the
field 10 q friend in Washington, who
had offered him quarters there, that
his route to Washington would be
through Richmond, and he actually
did go to Washington via Rich
noni.
It is simply nousensical to speak
of man with the proud record of
Gov. Hayes, fairly and honestly
earned, as 8 weak" or negative
man; and those persons who profess
70 know him so well land really have
hardly speaking acquaintance with

We favored the nomination Of Mr.. |
Bristow because We believed he
would be the strongest candidate be-
fore the people, and, therefore, most
easily elected; but we are entirely
content with Gov. Hayes, who fully
represents the high and noble aims
and the unconquerable integrity of
the Republican voters. In him they

1t is reported, says the SalUe, State,
that a murder has been committed on
the sheep ranch of Charles Mcdonnell.
near Quinn river. Rumor has it that
a week ago last Sunday a man en-
ployed at McCounell's ranch was sent
to the shepherds camp, some distance
from the house, to get some mutton,
and upon his return reported every.
thing right at the shepherds. A
week subsequent Mr.. Mcconnell and
some others, among them the man
who had been after the mutton, went
to the shepherds camp, where they
found his dead body in a state OF de-
composition, with a bullet hole through
the head. The fact that the man who
had been to the camp a week previous
refused to touch the remains aroused
the suspicious of the others that he
knew more of the affair than h5ppre-
tended to, and was probably the per-
son who fired the fatal shot. No re-
liable particulars OF the affair have yet
been received, however, and we give
the above as it was told us.
A we'll known gentleman of Virginia
City, whose better-half is on an ex-
tended trip to San Francisco, has for

NAr1oNALIrY IN POLITICS.

General Siege!, in the course of an
interview with a Herald reporter, ex-
planning the reasons for his support of
Tilden, refer RS to the Importance of the
German vote in this country. There
are six hundred thousand German vot-
ers in all, he thinks, and he believes a
large majority of them will vote for
Tildeu. Considering that according to
General Schurz q "large Majority
will vote for Hayes, we may safely as
sumo that neither ofthese gallant gen.
tlemen know but very little about it.
The German newspapers and German
writer's show nor energy in the can
vass than the Americans. This is nat
ural and as it shonfd be. There is no
class more intelligent and impartial
than the Germans. They adapt them
selves with singular facility to our
American life, and in political matters
are especially independent. 1t is,
therefore, rank imposture for so-called
German leaders to go around from
camp to camp peddling the German
vote.n One would think, to hear a
hungry political German talk when he
wants an office, that he carried the
whole German vote in his pocket.
Four years ago Carl Schurz carried
the whole German voten over to Gree
ley-but it went largely for Grant.
Now Carl I" carries the German vote"
back to Hayes, and no doubt a large
part will go for Tilden. We can imag-
inc nothing more offensive to an hon
est, self-respecting German than to see
his nation used as a bid for office. This
Is really what it is. These alderman
Democratic Associations" and seer
man Republican Associations" are
simply SC many pretexts for obtaining
power. They should be frowned upon
by all honorable Germans. In poll
tics we are neither Irish nor German.
neither Protestant nor Catholic, but
American all the time and under all
circumstances. When a German ac-
cepts our citizenship his nationality
becomes q memory TO him-a memory
always to be cherished as sacred, but it
should never b q political espedient.
